What do i do if while replacing my iphone 4s screen i lost one of the screws on the inside near the camera? am i okay without that screw or what should i do?

I was replacing my cracked screen on my iphone 4s and while unscrewing one of the screws it fell out and i cant find it. It was the upper screw near the camera on the EFM shield and antenna clip. I was wanting to know whether i would be okay without that screw or what i should do?

A couple of things I would suggest. If you have a friend with a broken iPhone of the same type, they might be willing to let you take it apart to get the missing screw. Or, if you bought the replacement screen from one of the reputable online sources (as opposed to some fly-by-night ebay vendor), then you might want to contact them and see if they will sell you the single screw for some minimal price.

    They should have one in Stock, but you never know. Call your Apple Store and tell them you have an iPhone 5 color and GB, and that you most likely will need a replacement, do they have any in Stock. If yes, go in, if not ask for advice on how to handle your problem.

  • HT4889 Replacing System hard drive with a new one. How to get everything over to the new boot drive?

    Replacing System hard drive with a new one. How to get everything over to the new boot drive? Should I use Carbon Copy or does apple have a better untility to do this?
    I can't get my current system drive (OSX 10.8.3) to start on the first try. I always have to shut down and restart again to finally see the Apple logo.
    Have used disc utility to repair the disc and permissions several times and that works. The next time I boot up, it works fine and I get the apple logo, but then the second time I boot up, it's back to the blank screen again and it only boots after the second try.  I have tried this repair three different times now always with the same result. Works right the first try (after the repair) then from the second time on it doesn't work. I just get the white screen until I reboot a second time.
    Thinking I should change drives but what's the easist and best way to move everything over to the new drive so it will boot correctly with all my data on it. This is the system drive for a Pro Tools 10HD setup. MacPro 3,1 with 16 gigs ram and OSX10.8.3 on it.
    Thanks for any help!

    If you have a time machine back up of your current drive you can do this
    Shut down your computer, install the new drive. While the computer is off plug in the external hard drive that you have your time machine back up on. Hold Option key while the computer turnes on, let go of the option key once you get a grey screen. Shortly after you'll see  a list of bootable drives, select the one that has your time machine back up on it and boot into that drive.
    From there go into disk utility, format your new drive too, osx extended journaled ( I think, double check that, its been awhile since ive had to do this), hit format
    Exit disk utility and then you can use time machine to copy all your exisit data to the new hhd and then your pretty much done.
    There is also a program called Carbon Cloner that will do esentially the same thing however I've never uesed it.

    No.
    You would have to send your iphone to someone you know in Canada, then that person would have to get the iphone to Apple.
    Apple will not accept a shipment from outside the country.

    This kind of problem can often be fixed with the  microsoft Installer cleanup utility.
    Unfortunately the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility has been withdrawn by Microsoft because of compatibility issues with Microsoft Office so you will need to find a copy elsewhere – the installer is msicuu2.exe. You need version 3.
    Google  msicuu2.exe download
    mydigitallife in the above search has a copy of version 3
    Check for malware before installing it.
    After installing, To run the program  – All Programs>>Windows Install
    If you get  permission denied error, Try Run as Administrator – an option if you right click on the program.
    When you run the cleanup utility, look for any instance that you find of iTunes and remove it.
    It is possible that you will have to remove other apple programs if removing iTunes doesn't allow you to install iTunes. Post back with any furtyher error messages if there is a problem.

    Apple will not accept shipments from outside the country nor will they return it to an address outside the country.

  • Can I replace an iphone 5 screen that is slightly scratched?

    Is there any way for me to replace an iphone 5 screen? 

    Apple does not repair iPhones, but will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ coverage, the cost will low; in the US it's $49. If you do not have AppleCare+ on your iPhone, see the Service Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
    There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to do the repair for less than Apple's out-of-warranty charge. Do a web search for "iPhone repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPhone serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further warranty and support from Apple will be voided.
    Regards.

    Buy the "AT&T" model iPad, not the Verizon one (which does not support SIM cards used most everywhere in the world).  The ATT model comes with a SIM card, but you can then get one from a UK provider.  Be sure it's a "microSIM" card, not the larger kind when back in the UK.

  • What's rhe MODEL of a replacment verizon iphone 5?

    I got my replacement verizon iphone 5,I find  the MODEL is MD656,while MODEL of my original iphone is MD654!It's said MD656 belong to a sprint iphone 5,I don't know way?

    The replacement is a refurbished iPhone 5 that Apple has installed new battery and any parts that needed repair plus the case.  In the process they would have flashed the CDMA chip to whatever carrier it was to be connected with, in this case it may have been Sprint but is now Verizon.  The iPhone is still the same, just now set to operate on the Verizon network.

    michael j.fromworcester wrote:
    it backs up every time you connect? correct?
    Not if automatic syncing on connection is disabled in iTunes preferences.  Then the phone backs up only when manually syncing or manual backup.  Check this pref setting:
    iTunes Prefs > Devices > Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.  It that is selected, you have to manually sync or backup.
    In that section you should see a list of all iPhone backup stored by device.  What is the latest one showing?
