Screws on bottom of the 3G iPhone?
During the "Guided Tour" and "New Features", there are 2 screws on either side of the microphone and speaker...I am guessing this is so the user can change their own battery without the "aid" of Apple. Has Apple made a comment on why they decided to include two visible screws on the 3G version and not on the original?
Thanks for any comments
I'm guessing that the mic/speaker holes might make it structurally "weaker" than the grid of tiny holes that are on the previous models. So, you increase the ability for it to pick up and playback audio, but the offset is that you need those additional screws.
Or not.

My Iphone 5 home button keeps pressing itself but stops if put pressure on the bottom of the screen on each side of the home button, i have noticed that there is a screw missing on the right side of the lightning port could this be the issue??
If you are still under warranty, contact Apple to get it serviced. You can also visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it looked at.

I am trying to copy 3 photos from an album in iPhoto to my iPhone. I have tried to move them to PhotoStream. I "select" the photos in the Album and then click on PhotoStream in the "Share" menu at the bottom of the screen. Nothing happens. I have also tried emailing them tyo myself but iPhoto won't send the email. It tells me it doesn't recognize my ID and password. My operating is Lion on an iMac.
Thank you for responding to my question, above, this morning. And thank you for the link about PhotoStream. It was helpful in understanding how Photostream works, but, unfortunately, doesn't really reference my problem since it assumes that the photos were originated on one of my Apple devices. The photos I want to copy to my iPhone are in an album on iPhoto but I had originally downloaded them from my camera to my iMac then moved them to the album. The confusing thing for me is that they are 3 of a dozen photos takern over a period of 12 years on different digital cameras (two were taken on film and later scanned and eventually moved to the album in iPhoto) and all but three of the photos moved to photostream and are on my iPhone. It is those three, which were all taken on digital cameras and moved to the album, which I can't get to move to Photostream.

I recently cracked the bottom part of my iPhone 5 right by the home button, would it be beneficial to put a screen protector over the cracks so it won't break anymore? I've cracked it twice now and can't afford to fix it again
How did you crack the screen using a Lifeproof case??

I just switched to Iphone 5c from Blackberry...is there a way to jump from the 1st email listed to the bottom of the list (sometimes 300-400) without scrolling manually thru them all? Also is there a way to organize them by sender?
Well, I think I know why the rules are not working. The alias mailbox is being listed as another mail folder and not as an actual inbox so the rules are not being applied. While I wish the rules would work, I will continue to manually mark some of the emails as spam.
As for the second issue with emails vanishing, I am waiting to see if it happens again. I think it must happen when it is syncing the data but I am not sure that it happens all the time. Today the previous emails seem to be their and it grabbed the new email so I don't know what happened with the vanishing email. Anyway this can be closed since I believe the main issue has been solved as being a setup issue with Yahoo alias email account. -
I have installed OS6 on my iPhone 4. A new App is Passbook. When I click on the App Store bar at the bottom of the Passbook page a message pops up saying Cannot connect to iTunes Store. That's wrong isn't it? It should not be trying to connect to the iTunes Store but to the App Store?.
It should be telling you to download the latest iTunes on your computer... you can't install iTunes on your iPhone.

Hi I am on an iphone 5 IOS7 and when I look at the 'Silence' setting at the bottom of the Don Not Disturb' screen - then even though all of the settings on that screen are off i.e. not green - the 'Silence' -'Only when iPhone is locked' setting is tickedP
Chris thanks for your reply, if none of the Do Not Disturb settings are switched on - then am I right that this setting will have no effect. I.e. I want my phone to ring at all times, so have turned off all of the do not disturb settings

My iPhone is taking around 1 to 2 secs to "unblock" after I press the unblock bottom on the top, is this normal? I have not happened to me before.

If fault continues, get the iPhone changed. -
When I open iTunes and attach my iPhone to the PC, click on "iPhone" and then on "Overall-view" (the leftmost Item at the top bar, "Übersicht" in German), I see on the bar at the bottom of the screen from left to right: "Audio - Fotos - Apps - Documents/Data - Others - Free". Now my question: What does "Others" include and how can I reduce "Others"? At my iPhone it takes 2.5 GB. I have cleared all my e-mails, how can I reduce it further in order to get more free space? Thank you very much in advance!
Hi Hans,
“Other” space has several sources. Some ways of removing unneeded files from it can be found in this article -
iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
Specifically -
Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
Restore using iTunes.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Why was the head phone jack moved to the bottom of the iPhone 5
Why was the head phone jack moved to the bottom of the iPhone 5
Because it worked better with the new design, most likely. To get the real answer you'd have to ask the people that designed it.

My iPhone is not receiving mail but the following messages continue to flash over and over at the bottom of the screen: "Checking for messages, Updated just now, Checking for messages", etc. After a minute or so it will flash downloading 1 - 32 messages but nothing is received and then the "Checking for Messages," etc. starts back again. I turned the phone off for 30+ minutes and also tried to reset it, but the problem continues. Any ideas on how to solve the problem?
Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears. -

The bottom row of my iphone is irresponsive, any suggestions on how to fix it?
my earpiece will not have any noise when i make calls i need to turn on the speaker to hear what the person is saying, how do i fix that?? and also the bottom row of buttons when i text and when im on the internet is irresponsive, but works on the home screen any suggestions on how to fix it?
If it was permanent marker, you probably can't. Lenses often have layers of film on their glass to reduce glare and distortion that would be damaged by any chemical that could remove marker. You can try very carefully cleaning the lens with denatured alcohol - don't use enough that it can drip or seep into the iPhone - but my guess is that the lens is permanently damaged. Apple cannot repair just the lens, but will replace the entire iPhone for either the AppleCare+ deductible, if you have that coverage, or their standard out-of-warranty replacement price. See the Service Pricing section here:

i restored my iphone and the bottom of the screen desnt work so i cant click agree. Is there another way?
There's generally no reason to be closing them that way at all. The apps you see in the recents bar are just that, apps that you used recently. Most of them are doing absolutely nothing. The only apps that are really doing anything in the background are ones that play music and ones that are using location services. Just leave them be.
Best of luck. -
I have a iphone 4, but one of the screws to take of the back shell is stripped???
If anyone could help me out that would me amazing
That isn't really an iPhone question, its a mechanical repair question, and the answer is the same as it would be for any mechanic trying to remove a stripped screw. Are the threads stripped, or the slot? If its the slot judicious use of super glue might help, or use a screw extractor tool. If it is the threads a screw extractor is about the only option, or drill out the screw and use a thread cutting screw to replace it.
The bigger problem is that you shouldn't be opening the phone. If you got it open there's a high probably you would make whatever problem you have worse, and opening it voids both the warranty and any chance of getting a discounted replacement from Apple.
