So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone shut down and now won't stay on unless connected to mains... Claims its at 100% battery but thats impossible as it was at 30% before it shut down randomly.
Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly.
Turns off as soon as removed from usb ... wont stay on connected to laptop!
HELP!

The iPhone includes a one year warranty. If an Apple store is not nearby, you can call AppleCare and handle an exchange under warranty over the phone. The exchange will be shipped to your door - someone must sign for the delivery so if no one will be at home, have it delivered where you work. You use the same box to return the existing iPhone back to Apple. Return shipping label and tape to reveal the box incuded - call the carrier with number incuded when the box is ready to be picked up. AppleCare will request a credit card in the event the existing iPhone is not returned within 10 days after the exchange under warranty is received.
Hardware can fail - it happens, which is why there is a one year warranty.

I have an iphone and i was sending a multimedia message and all of a sudden the phone turned off and will not turn back on. We have been charging it for almost half an hour or more and it still hasn't turned on. How do we fix it?

Wine, were you charging over the USB Connection or AC Power? We've found in our organization that at times not enough power is generated over USB to recharge it in situations like this...I quote from the email of a fellow technician that i just received today...
I’ve had a couple of users up here bring their iPhones to me so dead that the phone was unresponsive, no matter what we did. One thing that many people do not realize is that the iPhone (iOS devices in general) have power management in them. The power management appears to be set up so that the device will not power on at all until the battery is at a certain minimum level. If the user will plug the device into the power adapter, not a USB port on a computer (laptops especially), and leave it for about an hour, maybe longer, the device will come back to life.
The reason I say they have to use the power adapter is because the USB port is not high enough power to bring the charge up fast enough for the battery to come back out of “hibernation”.
Each time I have had the users do the power adapter plug in, and leave it for a couple of hours, the devices have come back to life
Hope this helps

I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s

I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s and keep my same plan but switch to the Edge program. Is this possible? I don't think I should have to pay an early termination fee or anything like that since my phone has become almost unusable. I know under normal circumstances you have to wait 2 yrs to upgrade but due to the update and the poor service I'm now getting I hope Verizon can make an exception. Thank you.

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

The fact that it is physically damaged may have quite a bit to do with the fact that it doesn't work...

I have an Officejet 4500 g510n, and cannot receive any faxes ...HELP!!!

Since I changed my carrier for phone, internet etc, I have been unable to receive any faxes. The phone rings, it starts to communicate, then it fails. I have gone through the troubleshooting scenarios and changed my phone to 0 rings so the voicemail does not come on, but still cannot receive any faxes.
Can anyone tell me how I can fix this problem? I had no issues with my previous carrier.

Hi Trishiann,
I understand your printer is not receiving faxes. Take a look at the following document, Cannot Send or Receive Faxes. I understand you went through some troubleshooting scenarios, so I apologize if some, or all, of this information is redundant. If there are suggestions in the document you have not tried, however, it would be a good place to start. Best of luck.

IPhone 5 Power button issues after recent update.

After this most recent update, my power button is not working as it normally does. It takes two or three attempts to turn the phone off and more than once to turn it. Sometimes it turns on and immediately turns off. This is happening only after this update.

Yes 7.1.2 I had a 7.1 backup, and no issues with that... but then I did a clean DL of 7.1.2 and once again with NO apps on the iphone power button issues... as mentioned. So it is not the apps, nor songs, nor anything else...just 7.1.2 I am now running 7.1 no issues.

TS1722 Have lost ability to open Boot Camp on start up or restart. Only Mac icon shows up. Worked perfectly for two years and now it implodes. Any hope of re-opening Boot Camp?of recapturing data in

Have lost ability to open Boot Camp on start or restart. Icon does not show up. Had been working for 2 years, then nothing. Recently had problems with Kodak Easy Share in PC partition. Any connection? Any hope of reopening Boogt Camp without losing data already there?

Can you see there is a partition?
Can you boot Windows 7 DVD?
Did you think you would never need a backup image?
So no Safe Boot, no F8, possible?
Paragon CampTune
Paragon CampTune is a commercial product that is designed expressly for this task. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/camptune/ It consists of a downloadable ISO that needs to be burned to a disc and booted from in order to resize the partitions. During testing it was available free, but now costs US$19.95. MR user Rodus reports that it damaged their OS X partiton and a reinstall was required, so heed the warning and have a backup.
Paragon Partition Manager
From the makes of CampTune is a commercial tool that is similar in functionality to GParted Live, but has a more polished/friendly user interface than GParted Live. Previously only the US$79.95 Professional version supported all the features required for this, but as of version 11 the US$39.95 Personal version has also been reported to work. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/pm-personal/
Securing Dual-System Configuration
Imaging is still the most affordable and robust way to secure computer data. Unfortunately Mac OS X backs up only HFS+ volumes, leaving Windows with dual-system configurations unsecured. You can permanently lose all of your data unless you have a Windows-compatible backup solution.
Paragon’s CampTune and Paragon’s Drive Copy for Mac can secure the entire dual-system configuration. CampTune creates traditional images of volumes or entire hard disks, Drive Copy can copy them to other disks. In case of an emergency, you can restore the previously created image or copy all your data back to its original state.
Winclone/Disk Utility
Winclone is a free tool for creating and restoring backup images of your Windows partition. One of its key features is that it can restore to a larger partition than the one the image was created from.
NOTE: Winclone has been discontinued, but for now remains available and capable of completing these tasks (including creating and restoring Windows 7 images).
Winclone updated to support Lion Winclone updates and download
Disk Utility can resize HFS+ (Mac OS) partitions, but is currently incapable of resizing NTFS partitions, so you could use it to reduce the size of the HFS+ partition and create a new larger placeholder MS-DOS (FAT) partition
The full process would be:
Backup Windows partition with Winclone.
(if the new Windows partition is smaller than the old one make sure you set the preferences in Winclone to save the image as an uncompressed dmg)
Delete old Windows partition
Resize current Mac Partition
Create new Windows partition as MS-DOS (FAT) in free space after Mac OS partition.
(If the new Windows partition is smaller than the old one an additional step is required: shrink the filesystem on the image by selecting Tools->Shrink Windows (NTFS) Filesystem)
Reboot your computer for the new Windows partition to mount properly (winclone may not restore if you don't reboot)
Restore Winclone partition over new Windows partition
An alternate Winclone based process is described in the External Guides section

IPhone 3G will not sync after recent update to software

I began a sync for my phone and new software was available and I allowed the update. Now my iPhone 3GS will not sync. continues to give an Unknown Error -39. What do I do?

Thank you for the response, I have not tried a restore, won't that wipe out everything on the phone? Leaving on vacation and don't have time to start over, I'll have to try this after I get back if the next response does not solve the problem.

Recent iTunes purchases will not play on my iPhone after recent update. Grey cloud and red arrow syndrome. Please help?

Hello,
I need a bit of help. I have made a handful of itunes purchases over the past few months. Yesterday, I updated both my itunes and iphone with the latest updates. Now, after the update on my iphone I can not get my recent song purchases to play (they played before I updated my phone). There is a greay cloud with the downward pointing red arrow. When I click the cloud/arrow nothing happens and it won't download. I've tried a handful of things that I have found on these forums to no avail. I've reset software, checked/unchecked this box on my phone and on itunes on my computer, removed and re-installed. I know this is all a litle vague on what I have done, but please know I've tried and tried all kinds of advice. Now, I have tpo reach out to the community and see if there is soomehting else that may work.
Thanks,
BG

I recently updated to Firefox 4. It worked that whole day, but next morning I get a crash error message and cannot get into Firefox. I've tried some suggestions on the site, but no help. Should I uninstall Firefox, then reinstall.

I can't even get into Firefox to troubleshoot

I don't know if this helps, but I'm still working on this problem and took a screen shot of my Console Message errors:
What's happening here is opening the program, trying to save and it crashes. Then trying to open the program again and it crashing before it even opens. Finally opening the program a third time and trying to save it using "save as" instead of "save" (which I found one forum recommending) and it crashing again.

I have an Iphone 5c that wont power on, I have tried the chargers and cables and they work fine so I now beleive it is the phone

My iphone 5c has no battery life left and is unable to charge, there for unable to power on, I have tried the chargers and cables which all work fine in other devices, I am now stuck with a dead iphone5c that I need fixed

Am also having this problem. Daughter's iPhone 5c failed completely the other week after experiencing the same problem. We had a replacement phone provided that I picked up on Friday, and still have exactly the same issue with charging.
Have bought a brand new Apple Lightening cable but no joy - when switching on the phone the battery is showing as dead with an image of the lightening cable (assume this means it wants a cable plugging on). No joy with any other cables, all of which incidentally work on my own iPad Air.
Strange as well that this started happening once the IOS8.3 upgrade was loaded. With my iPad, I have not upgraded the IOS and it works fine.
So unsure if it is a software or a hardware issue. I've tried rebooting by holding the Home and On-Off switches, tried connecting it to iTunes which doesn't show the phone nor does the computer recognise it as an external device.
Really am tearing what's left of my hair out with this one - have already had three visits to the Apple Store at the Trafford Centre and can't face another......help!!!!!

Not syncing ipad after recent update-windows vista mobile and yahoo go sync

I recently purchased the ipad, updated itunes to the latest version and installed a bunch of apps. Everything seems to work well except, I cannot sync contacts, calendars, notes, and bookmarks. When I attempt to sync these my computer shows an error message of "mobile sync has stopped working". Then I get an error message that "Yahoo go sync client has stopped working". I have not used MobileMe. I think that this will be a common problem with this update, and apple will need to submit a corrected version to fix this problem. There have been other posts on this problem. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

I have EXACTLY the same problem. Can anybody help please?!

IPhone 4S camera all of a sudden the shutter won't open, camera freezes.

My camera shutter won't open, won't take pictures, then freezes when I hit any other camera buttons.
This started happening a few days ago, before I updated my phone to 6. But it's still not working.
Tried hard reset shut off. Didn't work.

Well, there are other troubleshooting steps to take that are outlined in the User Guide.

So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone won't stay on unless connected to mains... Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly. HELP
