What week iPhone should I ask for???

I plan on trying to return my 3GS tomorrow becuase of the battery and a couple other things. What week seems to be the problem free? Do we know yet? Thanks!

I'm not sure this even matters. Most of the sales reps there have no idea about week builds and currently the 3GS's are selling quite quickly so there aren't an abundance of stock for them to choose from. They are basically selling each batch they get.
Here in cupertino we moved a week's worth of each day for 4 days. Release ones were 21, then the next day was 22, then 23 and 24. Sales started slowing down at week 25 and most likely if you go now you will get week 26. Someone posted earlier about getting a week 27 so I'm guessing those are going into the wild now.
Nothing is for sure but here is my experience after comparing about 25 phones between friends/family and 10 more from apple stores.
21: high chance of poor battery
22: small chance of over heat issue
23: best screens (most apple stores all have 23's... i'm sure that's no coincidence)
24: no experience
25: small chance of good screens
26: high chance of yellow screen (personally saw 9 that were all yellow... comparing to the week 23's of the stores. Yellow gradient rate was high as well meaning top and bottom were different shades.
No experience with 27 yet. My girlfriend's week 26 white has 2 cracks on the top near the headset jack... we are waiting for 27's to exchange.
My advice to you is to go get one anyways. If there's an issue, just return it. Even from all those experiences, those could just be flukes or bad draws... or you may just get a good draw on which ever batch. Good luck though

    I NEVER entered a password for the backup but now I want to restore my iphone and itunes asks for one. What can I do?

    @Razmee209 is right there is nothing you can do if it is an encrypted back up
    iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups - Apple Support
    BUT you could try to see if you have a back up that is not encrypted. If you go to iTunes Preferences (On a Windows go to Edit Menu under the Play Button - On a Mac click on iTunes at the top left) Click on Devices and if you see a back up that does not have a lock next to it you will be able to restore from that back up without using that password.
    Encrypted passwords are set up at the time you create the back up.

    Have you tried getting the password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com ?
    If you can't get your password reset via that page then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it for you.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    What you mean by 'buy and create a new id', it's free to create iTunes accounts. But until you've logged out of your existing account, you won't be able to log into a new account.

    Hi i bought a Macbook Pro 8 & a half mounths ago.Today i had the hard drive replaced as it was faulty and on Monday i have to take it back to the Apple shop to have the Motherboard replaced. I feel that i should be asking for a new macbook, where do i stand.

    Yes thats what i thought but i only have 77 days left on my garentee so its a worry, and have to drive 1 hour to get to closest Apple shop, spent the whole day there today when i should have been at work and have to make the drive again on Monday Then back again next Friday to pick it up. I paid over £1000 ponds for this computer so wouldnt expect it to have its insides replaced befor a year. Feel very let down, and no longer love my macbook pro.

    I've lost track of what I've done to solve the problem, but in any case I still get the red bar message that says "If you accidentally clicked no to the security warning, please click here to reload".
    Can't be clicked...does not work and I have no idea what it means.

    It is likely that you either don't have Java installed, or you have an out of data version. Go to [http://www.java.com www.java.com], and download and install the version of Java that is for your computer. After doing that, you should be all good to go.

  • Should I ask for a replacement or stick it out with a third repair

    The first repair must have been August 8th or 9th. It had the moo issue, the lid creaked, and when I shut my computer down and closed the lid (after the screen went black) the indicator light would remain on and when I came back to the computer it would be searing hot.
    All they did was replace the fan with a Sunon fan. The night I received it, nothing changed. So I sent it in again. This was August 18th when they received it. They replaced the heat sink . I got it back on Thursday (just passed) and the lid was better for a day, it now creaks. It mooed, so I just did the SMC update (which fixed the mooing completely). The shutdown issue happen again too. And NOW, the whole right side of the trackpad's button is not only mushy, but nonresponsive. The right side just doesn't work. Should I send it in for yet another repair? Should I ask for a replacement? Should I be grateful it doesn't have the wretched Random ShutDowns? What's the concensus? I'm on holding with AppleCare now waiting for the next available representative (as I have been for the past 14 minutes).

    An update in case anyone is the least bit interested;
    I asked for the replacement. The lady (Ashley) transfered me to a technician or specialist or some other euphemism for second tiered employee named Tim. Tim suggested I go into an Apple Store and have them do the repair there. That night, I experienced the "waking from off syndrome" again and figured I'd have to mention this to them as well. Did that at the store and they decided they were going to send it off to Memphis yet AGAIN. Definitely not what I was told by Tim. He said they would fix it in store. He said they'd probably hold on to it for a few because they didn't have any replacement top cases to fix the trackpad button, but he said nothing of them sending it back into Flextronics (who, I'm convinced, are quite incompetent; they're the ones who broke the trackpad button). I know they're going to muck this up again. This time, I think they're going to replace the logic board. Illogical! I don't suppose it will help, but I could be wrong. Iffin' I experience another wake from off incident after I get the thing returned, what's the liklihood of Apple replacing my machine with a new MacBook (versus not replacing it or replacing it with a refurbished machine)?
    I'm fed up. Macs don't necessarily just work. They potentially frustrate.
    Sorry for the quasi rant

  • What antivirus protection should I purchase for my MacBook Pro? MacSecurity.app appeared on my desktop, and I downloaded that. Since then, it has said my computer is infected and pop-ups have been appearing.

    What antivirus protection should I purchase for my MacBook Pro? MacSecurity.app appeared on my desktop, and I downloaded that. Since then, it has said my computer is infected and pop-ups have been appearing.

    You've been infected by a scam trojan.  You don't need any anti-virus software on your Mac.  See the following about getting rid of the trojan.
    Trojan War
    If you discover a trojan program is running on your computer then look to the following information for assistance:
    1. A recent discussion on the Apple Support Communities: MacDefender Trojan.
    2. An excellent site devoted to Mac Malware: Macintosh Virus Guide
    3. Another site for removing MacDefende, et.al.: MAC Defender Rogue Anti-Virus analysis and Removal
    4. A new removal utility - MacDefenderKiller
    Removing strange software can be a task.  The following outlines various ways of uninstalling software:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a Startup item or a Log In item.  Startup items are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the Delete [-] button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead.  Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Note that you must have this software installed before you install software you may need to uninstall.  Uninstallers won't work if you install them after the fact.  Here is a selection:
    AppZapper
    Automaton
    Hazel
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them and others at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on removing software and dealing with spyware and malware.
    After removing all the components of the software you may have to restart the computer to fully disable the software.  This will be the case when removing software that has installed a daemon.  After the daemon has been removed you need to restart the computer to stop the daemon.  Alternatively, you can kill the daemon process using the Terminal application or Activity Monitor.

  • How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

    How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

    As long as you share that AppleID for iCloud, you cannot.  You are sharing a a single iCloud account and sync services.  The only thing you can do is get a second AppleID and use it with iCloud - you do not have to use that new AppleID for anything but iCloud (ie. you can still share an AppleID for iTunes and App store purchases).
    P.S. I am assuming you both want to sync your contacts with iCloud?

  • IPhone 5 keeps asking for voicemail password, I do not want to give it

    5-10 times per day, and usually while I'm driving and have GPS up on the screen, my iPhone 5 / iOS 7 will pop up and ask for a voicemail password.
    I do not use voicemail. I do not want to set up voicemail. I do not want to have voicemail. I do not want to have a voicemail password. And even if I had a voicemail password I do not want my phone to have this password.
    How can I stop iPhone from continually asking for this piece of information which is obvious that I will not give?

    Voicemail is a function of the cellular account that you have with your cellular provider. Contact your cellular provider to have voicemail turned off.
