When I shake my iPhone 5 there is a loud thumping type sound.

Any ideas ? Vibrate motor ? Battery?
No Idea what's going on but it is very loud and you can feel the
Shift in weight when moving / shaking phone.
Thanks for any and all help :)

I would recommend to schedule an appointment at the Genius bar of your local retailstore to have it examined. What you're experiencing doesn't sound normal.

If you believe that you may have a dead pixel, you can make an appointment to take the device to the Genius Bar, or your Authorized Apple Service Provider and let them make a determination.

Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

Setting up your phone "as new iphone" is covered in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise your phone will be wiped during the following sync.
If you have data on the phone you want to save, back up manually:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing. Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards. Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.
Since changing your iTunes library will erase your phone again, do the same process when you change back to your normal PC.

When you shake your iPhone 5, do you hear movement inside? Like anything loose inside?

When I shake my phone, I can hear something rattling inside. I went to the Apple store and they told me it was just the vibrator. So I tested every iPhone 5 in the Apple store and NONE of them made the noise, just mine...

can you describe the sound in more detail?
does it "rattle" or make a "thud" sound?
if it rattles, then it's normal (according to apple stores).
if it's a "thud" sound, then it's a loose battery, which isn't normal. you can either get a replacement or try to fix it yourself. example of the "thud" sound:

HT1689 i have a balance left on an itunes gift card but had to create a new account when i got an iphone- is there any way of retrieving that unused balance?

i have credit left on an itune gift card - that used to just show up wheniturned my computeron- but ihad tocreate a new account wheni got an iphone_ is there anyway toretrive that unused balance?/

You can't transfer gift card credits from one account to another. You'll have to sign in using the old account on your iPhone to use the credit balance. =)

Some of my game totals didnt transfer when I upgraded my iphone is there anything I can do?

I had to get a new iphone 5 due to some issues with the old one and when I did a restore not all my game totals transferred. It looks like the info is in itunes it just didnt load onto the new iphone. Is there anything I can do?

App data is stored in only two places: on your phone, & as part of your phone's backup. If the backup you restored to your new phone did not contain the app data you're missing, then there is no way to restore it to your new phone.

My iphone is doing a sound when i shake it

Hello, when i shake my iphone, i can hear a noise like a loose screw. Here is the sound it makes. I recorded it using the same iphone which did the sound : https://www.dropbox.com/s/a9ho6aij5nd27j1/iphonesound.m4a
I have applecare+, will the reparation cost me something? thanks!

Stop shaking it.
In my opinion, this is normal.

At 8:00 am every morning there is a loud page-turning noise from my iPhone. I have no idea what it is and have tried everything to stop it. Any help out there?

Every morning at 8:00 am there is a loud page-turning sound from my iPhone 5s. I have no idea what is causing it and it can be quite startling earlhy in the morning if you are alone. Any one have any idea what it could be?

If it goes off at 8am every morning, then you have probably set the alarm without realising it.
Check the alarm and turn it off.

My iPhone 5s rattles internally when I shake it. (it's not the home button)

I've only had my iPhone 5s for 2 days but I just noticed that when I shake it, there is a rattling sound coming from inside the phone. I've done some research on this and found similar complaints from other people who also said their 5s rattles, but the big difference between their complaints and mine is that the majority of other people's complaints is that their iPhone 5s rattles from the Home button which seems to be accepted as a normal thing, while my iPhone 5s' Home button does NOT rattle when I shake it, and the source of the rattling sound is internal, behind the screen. It sounds like some small piece got dislodged and is now moving around freely when I shake it. It also seems to come from somewhere near the top half of my phone, not the bottom.
Obviously I'm a bit concerned about this, especially since this is a product by Apple, which is not known for shoddy build quality (yes, even despite that their products are assembled in China, Apple still tends to have good build quality).
I'm not overly OCD, but when things rattle it bothers me because 1. It's simply annoying and 2. It's only normal to assume that something may have broken inside and now I have doubts whether my brand new iPhone 5s is even working at 100% or not.
Does anyone else have the same problem I have? Please don't reply with Home button issues as I've stated clearly that my issue is NOT coming from the Home button but rather elsewhere, internally. If you are knowledgeable about my situation please let me know what the problem is and how I can resolve it, thanks!
If it matters at all my 5s is the gold one with 32GB.

It will be the camera, the lens need a moveable bit so it can autofocus.
It was like that on the iphone 4S too.
Some rattle louder than others but its nothing to worry about and Apple won't change it as a brand new one will also rattle.

My iphone has a loose sound when you shake it

hi guys before I go to apple store i just want to know if you guys experiencing my problem with my iphone 5 when you shake its like there something loose sound coming from the camera (i hate it so much )because i pay for this phone

I don't think the two are related. The noise is most likely the camera's autofocus mechanism and is normal. Wifi issues are not normal. Search this forum for iP5 wifi issues to look for solutions.

I accidentally deleted part of an iphone (4s) note. Is there a way to restore the deleted text? I learned too late about being able to shake the iphone in order to undo my action, so is there any other way?

Restoring a phone from a backup will put the device back to the state it was when the backup took place, i.e. all info that you had on that phone before using the backup will be gone.
You could try to restore the phone, which will back up the actual data on the phone, including the passcode, and use this backup to set up a new phone with. The passcode will still be the same, because it is part of the backup.
More info here, iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
Not being able to fill in the passcode is not much different from forgetting it.
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

HT4915 When i did my itunes match, there were some duplicated albums and songs. I have gone into my library and deleted the duplicates, but they still show up on my iphone as duplicates. What can i do to get rid of them?

When I did my itunes match, there were some duplicated albums and songs in my library. I have gone back into my library from my computer, and deleted the duplicates. When I did so, itunes did not ask me if I wanted to delete them from the cloud. They are still showing up on my iphone as duplicates in the cloud. What can I do to get them from showing up in my iphone?

They are not on the iphone in the first place. It is just a setting that allows you to see the songs that are available in icloud, but not on your iphone. If you turn the setting to off, then you no longer see the songs that are in icloud, but NOT on your iphone.

Hi, I was just wondering how much it would cost to repair the rear camera of my iPhone 4s. I dropped it and it won't work and I hear something rattling inside when I shake it. How much would it cost to fix?

If you have a tool, try removing the battery cover and chech out. Some times the camera pin may have been misplaced. If so, you can fix it yourself.

You can contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department at no charge using the form on their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find an "Email Us" button) and explain your problem to them.
