White iPhone 4 2days old screen broke
I bought the iPhone on Friday for $200 & Sunday it fell out of my hoodie pocket & broke:( the screen is shuttered, but still intact, phone works, images on screen are hard to make out cause of all the cracks. How much is it going to cost me to have this fixed at an apple store?
Because this is accidental damage it is not covered under the warranty. Depending on your location the price of out of warranty repair varies. At an official Apple Retail Store in Australia it will be $249. I am not sure about your location.
You can select your country in the link below and it will tell you all your service options:

So i have a white iphone and cracked the screen back in July. They had no more white screens in stock so they put on a black screen. would that by any chance avoid the warrenty
Who put a screen on it?
I would say the warranty is void. -
I purchased my iPhone new in November. Recently it has been shutting itself off at random times. Registering that it needed to be charged although it had 50 -80% left on the battery. It was pointed out that the screen is bowing out by the volume buttons. After doing some research online it looks like an expanding battery. Has any one else ran into this problem? What would cause this?
hi,
i would go to the genius bar, thats definitely not a common problem with the iphone.
but lithium accus are known for such problems (e.g. model flight), they can expand when there is something not working well.

My black iphone4 front and back screen broke, how much does apple charge to fix that and can i get it in white?
"why cant i get it in white?"
Return your iPhone to Apple for repair/replacement, and ask for a white one. It couldn't be simpler. Whether Apple will comply with yuor request is another matter. -
White halo effect on every screen on iPhone - Any ideas?
I have recently begun to have problems with my 18 month old iPhone 5 freezing in shutdown. I have had to reset it several times. After checking all settings and deleting unused apps etc. I seemed to have resolved the problem and it has been fine for about three weeks. However, today whilst the phone was recharging it began an intermittent beeping - this stopped when I disconnected it from the charger. I then updated it to the most recent iOS 7. This evening it became very overheated (hasn't done this before) and now it is displaying a white halo effect on every screen.
The phone has not been dropped or ever immersed in water. I only ever use the original lightning cable and charger.
I have 6 months to go of a 2 year contract.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there hope or is my phone in its death throes??
I would greatly appreciate any help or advice. Thank you.The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...

I recently aquired a new iphone 4s because my old one broke. I backed it up on my itunes but now it wont give me the option of using the phone, it just says connect to itunes. I have synced it several times now and dont know what to do, please help me!!
I recently created a new apple ID
Bad idea.
Content bought with an Apple ID is forever associated with that Apple ID. Apple will not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple will not merge Apple IDs. Unless you are prepared to forfeit all the previously purchased content and buy it all again with the new Apple ID, you will need to maintain the old ID to update and redownload your content. -
I dropped my iPhone 4 & cracked its screen. I went to the service center to get it repaired. SInce it is not under warranty, i was willing to pay for repair charges.
They told me that the screen can not be repaired or changed, but they can replace my damaged set with an equivalent set, on payment of RM 760, roughly, 25-30% cost of a new one. I agreed.
They told me to:
1/ pay upfront
2/ leave my old set with them
3/ and the replacement unit will be delivered in 4-6 days.
I agreed on 1& 3 but not to leave my damaged set with them because it is still working and I don't have another spare phone with me, to serve me the 4-6 day waiting period.
THe service center guy told me that if I want a replacement, I have to agree to all 3 conditions and that I should buy another phone for 6 days. I told him that I constantly need email & Internet access, as part of my work responsibilities, so I can not do with a simple phone. It obviously, doesn't make sense to buy an expensive smart phone, go thru the trouble of transferring my data & mails & contacts - just for a week.
Unfortunately, all these logics fell on deaf ears & the service centre guy kept insisting on ALL of the above conditions.
I came back so flustered & upset.
I thought customer service was about solving problems & not creating hurdles for customers.
what should I do?
ANy advice?What would you do for transportation if you drove your car into a tree and had to wait while it was fixed? You'd need to rent, borrow or buy another car, no? The same applies to your phone. This is not Apple's problem; if the service center does not have replacements in stock for immediate swap-out, then it's up to you to provide a backup device or do without.
If you're in a country where Apple provides direct service for iPhones, you may be able to call Apple support and arrange for advance replacement, where they send you the replacement phone and then you send back the old one. Apple offers such service in several countries, though you have to pay an extra fee for the service. If not, then you'll just have to wait for the service center to get in the replacement, and will have to arrange an alternative to use during that time.

Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes without losing them?
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

What can I do? I dropped my iphone (not from a great height) and now it won't turn on however when I plug it in the white apple shows on my screen. My lock button has been broken for awhile so I can't even try switch it on!
Once you have a proven, working Charger... Charge the Device for a couple of hours. Then try to turn it on.
If no joy...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If the issue persists...
Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...

How do I transfer all photos and music from my old iphone 3gs to new iphone 4s? I have a new laptop because the old one broke and so do not have non camera roll photos or music stored anywhere apart from the iphone 3gs and cannot update io5 on the iphone 3gs without erasibng everything. i need help!!!
Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
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 device 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 iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

While using my Iphone 5, all of a sudden black and white stripes where on the screen. I have tryed to turn the phone off and on again, but there are only the stripes. I can't use it, and nothing happens when I push the buttons. Can someone help me?
Try resetting your phone, hold the home and sleep/wake button down until the apple symbol comes up, then release. If that doesnt work, you may have damaged your phone and need to take it to an apple genius bar.

Uneven glass screen more apperent on white iPhones...
Ok i had 4 white iPhone 3GS for various problems but all of them had uneven glass screen to the chrome...each replacement i had this...my friends bought the 3GS to and all their black iPhones got even glass screen to the chrome...dont know if they manufacture white ones at a different factory...
This issue actually does bother many apple fans who are expecting perfect product design and manufactured product paying premium price for their product.
It's product quality control is below average comparing to established electronic device manufacture.
Inconsistency is very significant especially in Iphone line starting from the originals. Among all 3 of the replacement I had, none of them were identical. So as in apple portable's keyboard touch and feelings, It feels worst when your friend with a same machine has a better keyboard touch and feelings.
Many of the apple products utilizes white plastic, they look cool for the first 2 month, but then it gets so scratched up and dirty don't look great anymore. Apple needs further investigation if they want to keep using this material. Aluminum is a good choice because it maintains it's aesthetics for a long time.
Apple headphones, the cord twines so much I hate it. None of the sony headphone will have that issue because they've been making headphones for a long time. There is a difference in material.
Apple product design needs further development for it's durability and use.
Each and every product needs to function, look and feel the same for a long time, just like your ordinary housewares.
Beside mentioned product manufacturing quality control issue.
I am happy. -
Has anyone else noticed that colors are washed out on screen on the white iPhone?
Comparing the white and black iPhone 4 side by side, I noticed that colors on the screen are washed out on the white iPhone. This is clearly noticable when clicking on messages and looking at the top where the word messages appears in blue/gray color. When looking at this on the white iPhone, its more white than blue/gray.
It could be just the contrast in color with your eyes looking at the white iphone vs the black one. Your eyes can sometimes play tricks on you. But in all seriousness, iPhone screens vary in color temperatures. I have seen two black iphones 4s that looked like they had different displays in them.

Hello, I can't turn my iphone 4s on, it just broke down and now there's just the black screen with the apple logo on it. So I connected it to itunes and tried to restore it, but than always the errors 1603 & 1611 appeared! please help me!!
You may have a faulty USB cable. Try another.
Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the iPhone.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".
If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.
