So I have an iPhone 4s, and the main/rear camera is cracked.

Okay so here is the story, I have a black otter box that I bought at the same time I purchased my iPhone 4s back in February. Today I dropped my phone, I have done so many of times (I am a huge klutz) hence the investment in the otterbox, anyway's back to my story. My phone landed face down cool I know it was protected and my screen wasn't going to be cracked, but you always get that oh snap, and heart dropping feeling when this happens. Well it seems that out of the millions of times my phone has been dropped (I have a three year old) Today did in my rear camera screen.. Yeah I know makes no sense fell face flat with an otterbox and my main/rear camera screen has crack, along with going "wonky" when turned upside down. My question is, is this covered in my warrenty and will I be able to get it fixed or will I have to replace the whole entire phone? This is my first iPhone so I'm not sure how the processes for these type of things for apple products go.Picture A. Cracked Camera screen.
Picture B. Wonky lines when phone was upside down.

Just to clarify, AppleCare doesn't cover damage. Only AppleCare Plus covers damange (see http://store.apple.com/us/product/S4575LL/A). To purchase an out of warranty replacement, back up your phone and make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store. Be sure to import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts separately from your iPhone backup (such as by syncing them with iCloud: Settings>iCloud>Contacts>On).

I have an iphone 4s and the text i send to a friend with a galaxy 4s he is not receiving any help?

i have an Iphone 4S and the text i send to a friend with a galaxy 4s he is not receiving. Any help?

Then it's sending as SMS and not iMessage (that's good) so deleting the contact probably didn't help. It also seems iMessage isn't redirecting his texts as he's not used and apple device on the account previously. Can he receive a picture message from you instead? Does he receive texts from other apple devices? (iPhones,pods/pads) try sending a text through Verizon online using your account on a web browser. If it is also blocked then it confirms the issue is with his device, well at least points you there rather than guessing if it's yours or his or both. There's some ideas, let me know- Joe

I have an iPhone 4S and the latest Apple TV, both setup with my email address as the Apple ID. I subscribed to iTunes Match so our music could be played from iCloud. I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID. When I try to turn on iMatch so she can play our music from iCloud on her new iPad it tells me that she needs a subscription to iTunes Match. Is it Apple's intent that we would need two iTunes Match subscriptions? If not, how do I accomplish what I want to get done?

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

I have an Iphone 4 and the IOS app was downloaded. I HATE it it will not allow me to group text. i do a prayer chain for my church and it will not let me type any messages...is there anyway to delete this app or upgrade

As major software releases go iOS 7 is amazing? Many requests for support found on these boards are solved via advice related to How To Do Something. Many times the advice is right out of the User Documentation provided by Apple. If someone were to compare the number of critical issues reflected across these posts vs. most other major releases from any major vendor ...iOS 7 is excellent.

I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore...

I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore since last update made yesterday.
How can I restore it without the last update?
Or, what can I do to have the Facebook back again on my mobile?
Thank you for your help.

Hi Ricoco,
I too had exact issue what you were experienced, then I went to Apple autorised service center and submitted my earpods, their it worked with all versions of Apple iphones, but it didn't worked on my 3gs. The service technician suggested for OS upgrade.Then I came home and I took the backup and upgraded 5.1 to 6.1 as he suggested, also it didn't worked. I was totally frustated and suddenly I got an idea!. What a funny thing here is, a safety pin resolved my issue, I took out all dust which was there in the jack hole. Then I check my earpods, it was amazing you know..MY EAR PODS WORKED!.
If you still have this issue, I hope this will help you.

I have an iPhone 4 and the iOS 4.3.5 download keeps failing - error states its corrupted.

I have an iPhone 4 and the iOS 4.3.5 download keeps failing. It downloads then I get a message stating that the download was corrupted and couldn't be installed. I've tried it with bitdefender switched off. I've tried it with it in airplane mode. My partner has tried to update their iPhone on a different computer to mine and is also getting the same problem and error message. Help!

That's exactly right. And since you have a MacBook Air (as I do), that means the synching should occur just fine (if you've set it up right in iTunes). In other words, once you actually do the update, the iTunes on your MacBook Air will re-sync your photos back to your iPhone.
Basically, the process is that your iPhone gets backed up, wiped clean, then the new iOS version gets installed, then the backup gets restored. That will restore everything in the article above, which does not include your photos. But the sync process that happens after the iOS installation would restore your photos from iPhoto given you've set it up that way in iTunes.
When you have your iPhone plugged into iTunes, while looking at the iPhone's summary page, click "Photos" on the right side of iTunes to see how you have your sync set up.
Regardless, it sounds like you'll be fine! Your photos will wind up in iPhoto once you place them there. They will be safe there.

I have a iPhone 3GS and the power connection prongs are damaged and it won't charge or sync. Is there any way to repair?

I have a iPhone 3GS and the power connection prongs are damaged and it won't charge or sync. Is there any way to repair? Or, at least is there a way to charge so I can write down phone numbers and othe rinformation. My power charge is totally out right now.

If it will not turn on - you have zero chance of getting anything off the phone.

Iran uses GSM, so the iPhone 5 will work. It is already unlocked. Just put local Iranian SIM in phone.

Go to settings/music/volume limit tap on that. Make sure it is set to OFF and when you tap it that the slider is at max

I have an iphone 5 and the battery jumps from 40 odd % to 14 in a blink. Also it turns off at 30 odd regular. Why is this ?

I have an iphone 5 and the battery jumps from 40 odd % to low battery ie: 13% in a blink also it turns off regular when on 30 odd % why is this ?

Hi, I'm having the same problem as well. It shuts off after reaching 20-30% and asks for recharge, then after 5 minutes I can turn it back on, but it keeps shuting off unexpectedly
Bad thing is that my warranty expired 130 days ago. Apple doesn't want cover a new battery replacement (and it costs $400 here in Brazil)
Clearly it's a manufacturer malfunctioning.
How did you proceed with it? Did you solve this problem? I have an Iphone 5 with iOS 7.1
Thanks

It is pretty short so here is the entire text:
Symptoms
A purplish or other colored flare, haze, or spot is imaged from out-of-scene bright light sources during still image or video capture.
Resolution
Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.
Which is exactly what eelw wrote.

So I have an iPhone 4s, and the main/rear camera is cracked.
