Who else thinks apple needs to invest in new phone chargers as they just break ALL THE TIME., who else thinks apple needs to invest in new phone chargers as they just break ALL THE TIME.

I am sick to death of my phone charger breaking ive had 10 this year ive spent over 50 pounds on them and they have all done the same thing at the head of the charger they start to ruffle and then just give up. You need to fix this ASAP.

If that is the case.
a) bending of the wire can cause the rubber at the lightning port head which eventually starts ripping.
b) stretching the wire will cause wear and tear in the rubber at the lightning head point which is the weakest in the cable.
c) flexing the lightning port head will again damage the rubber and the wires inside.
all in all, proper maintainence of the charger should be kept. Ensure that you're purchasing a standard charging cable. If it helps, use electric tape at the small joint on the lightning charge to stop that area from bending. It's unappealing but it reduces the damages to your charger. The new lightning cable is evidentally weaker than the original apple cable.
Hopefully this helps you.

  • We have multiple devices in the family, including now 4 iphones, all who share the same Apple ID. I want to stop this, but need thoughts on multiple IDs as Findmyphone works well as same ID?!

    We have multiple devices in the family, including now 4 iphones, all who share the same Apple ID. I want to stop this, but need thoughts on multiple IDs as Findmyphone works well as same ID?!

    I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
    What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
    Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
    Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

    It would be advisable for Apple to react officially on it. € 799, - for something that doesn´t function is no fun :-((
    Isn't replacing your iPad Apple "officially" acting on it?

  • I need to delet all the other person who have my apple ID

    i dont know how to delet the other persone who have my apple ID .

    What do you mean 'delete the other person' ? If you mean that somebody else is using your account your account's password e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and tapping on 'view apple id' on the popup and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

  • All of you who use the 80gb ipod classic and have problems with it freezing and syncing with itunes...well I have joined the club. This is a serious issue with apple and they need to correct it. I have tried everything to no avial.

    This is beyond frustrating. I just wasted 70 dollars between a new battery and gas for my ipod 80gb classic. It was having major issues syncing and freezing with itunes. I tried everything possible and noticed that a lot of people have been having the same issues with their ipod classics as well. I must have restored it several times and now it just totally bit the dust. Now I have to shell out 130 dollars to send it in to apple to be rebuilt/fixed. This is nonsense and I just cant believe apple isn't doing anything to address this issue. My ipod was doing great for about nearly 5 years and now  this. I even down-graded to itunes 10.7, but by the time I had it set up to try, that's when my ipod totally failed and will not even come on. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

  • HT1414 i am in the process of getting my iphone4 unlocked from att to use it on straighttalk. why do i need to "back up" the iphone and all of this? i dont have an apple computer sooo, im a little confused on why i need to do this. can someone please help

    Can someone please explain and help me? I am unlocking an iphone4 from at&amp;t to use it on the straight talk network. They've confirmed my request to do this and I am now a little confused as to what to do next. They want me to back up the phone using itunes on either a MAC or PC. I do not have an aplle computer but I do have an acer. Sooo, can I use it to do this? Or do I even have to do this to unlock and switch the iphone4 over to a new network? If I do have to what can I do to do this because like I said I do not have a computer by apple? Can anybody walk me through what I need to do next please? I've been waiting to do this for a very long time and I now have the option to have an iphone and use it. Thanks to my awesome boyfriend who Gave me his old iphone when he swapped back to an android. Hahahaha! Please anybody!? Because I sooo don't know what I'm doing and really do not want to mess the phone Or the process up. Thanks to any and all who read this and help me! It is greatly appreciate it!

    Install iTunes on your Acer and you can back up the iPhone. Or back it up to iCloud. If you do not back it up you can get it unlocked, but you will lose all of your content.
    You can get iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes.
    Even after unlocking I'm not sure it will work on Straight Talk, because last time I checked ST used Verizon as its carrier, and an AT&T iPhone 4 is not compatible with Verizon's network. You can probably use it on Net 10 or T-Mobile once it is unlocked.

  • HT1473 Often times when I copy a CD into my library it breaks the CD into more than one Album, all with the same name but with only a few of the songs on each. This happens whenever the CD has music with more than one artists...like maybe duets.

    Often times when I copy a CD into my library it will break my CD into multiple albums in my library, each with only a few songs.
    Usually this is because there might be songs where the artists has other artists in the song.
    How can I compile all of the different albums (all with the same name by the way) back into one as was the original disc?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • I need help understanding how the Apple components integrate to create a system across all my devices?

    I need help understanding how the Apple components connect to create a whole system across all my devices?
    Is there a resource that describes current system and associated functionality?
    For example:
    Buy A, B, C to achieve "X" 
    You will need:
    an internet provider which supports <specs>
    add D to achieve "Y"
    You will need:
    an internet provider which supports <specs>
    add "E" to achieve "Z"
    You will need:
    an internet provider which supports <specs>
    For example, I am looking at the Gen 6 Airport extreme.  For intended performance do I need broadband? if so what are the specs, or will basic internet service suffice?  Do I need the internet provider's modem or does the Airport extreme replace that?  And then I think, if I am doing this, I should also look at Apple TV....What do I need and Why?  Then I look at the New Desk top coming out in the fall, and I think well, if I wait and get this, what does this component do for the system, and what becomes redundant? What does this awesome desktop do for my ability to sit and use a new macbook air when I travel  or sit on the couch in my PJs?
    If there was a place that plainly stated "if you buy the new dektop you can configure a system including only these components and achieve <this result> and by adding <additional components> you will achieve this result.
    I have been to the genius store a few times, but I come out of there more confused unless I have SPECIFIC questions or already know what to buy. 
    A "System Configuration App" would be a really great sales tool--Just saying.

    I have no idea what "fully optimized" means.
    No Apple device will let you watch broadcast TV. The Apple TV is a good option for watching streaming TV from iTunes, NetFlix and Hulu. If you want to watch from other sources, you may need to look at other devices.
    Any Mac computer or iPad will allow you to surf the web.
    What business software?
    Time Capsule is a good option for back ups.
    Update what across all devices?
    For accessing documents from all devices, a service like Dropbox is your best bet.
    I have no idea what "step as far away from an internet provider as possible" means. If you want Internet access, you need an Internet provider.
    Lighting fast speed for what? Processor? The specs are listed for all devices in the Online Store. Internet? We're back to the service provider.
    Technology changes. The only way to keep pace with it beyond a couple of years is to buy new stuff.
    The bottom line is you need to look at the specs for devices availble and at your budget and decide what best meets your needs. If you are unable to do that on your own, there are lot of technology consultants out there who will, for a fee, look at your exact situation, make recommendations and even handle the purchase and set up. Perhaps that would be the best route for you.
    Best of luck.

  • I may be too late, but I need to know who to send an email to concerning iWeb.  I hope Apple will reconsider sending this awesome app to the trash.

    There is nothig like Iweb on the market.  And yes I have tried the top three apps that are suggested on most sites to replace Iweb.  I also understad that you ca still use Iweb without Mac hosting.   If apple does not update Iweb, it will only be a matter of time before the software is obsolete.  If apple does not want to keep Iweb, at least sell it to a third party company.   There has to be a market for an updated Iweb that will work with all future Mac OS's.  If there were another viable option, I would take it and not fret over Iweb.  There is just not a viable option.  The closest I have found is Freeway, it is good but nowhere near the ease of Iweb.  If Iweb dies then we are left to boring and cumbersome stock web services are complex code software.  I loved the ease of creating a site in Iweb and having everyone think it was done professionally.  If there are no others who share my feelings, I guess I am just whining and need to move on.  If you feel like I do, then who do we email and lets fill there inbox with our input.

    Here's another route to get to the feedback page: Apple - iWeb - Feedback
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store.  To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.

  • When I plug my iPhone 4s into my PC, I get an error message that says iTunes needs a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. It wants me to uninstall both the AMDS and iTunes and then reinstall iTunes. Has anyone else run into this problem recently?

    When I plug my iPhone 4s into my PC, I get a message that says iTunes needs a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. It wants me to uninstall both the AMDS and iTunes and then reinstall iTunes. iTunes won't recognize my phone and so I can't synch it. Has anyone else run into this problem recently and how did you resolve it? Thanks!

    Thank you both. I suppose I should have prefaced my question with the concern that I've read a number of other posts from people who have had a similar issue and when they tried to follow the directions, they ran into a multitude of other problems. As you might imagine, I'm hoping to avoid the creation of new problems as I try to solve this one. Thanks again.

  • Is apple going to come out with a iso that lets ppl who have the iphone 3g to put up backgrounds its bs that i cant do it when ever i see something about the iphones even befor the 4g that all ways had backgrounds so what the **** is with that

    iPhone 3G has received its last iOS update. If wallpapers behind the homescreen icons is such an important feature for you, you'll need a newer model iPhone.

  • From the Apple TV, I chose netflix from the main menu. I then chose the show Prison Break.  Only 22 episodes from Season 1 are displayed.  When chosing NetFlix from my Blue Ray player I see all the episodes.

  • I need to re-enter Microsoft Office Product Key all the time!

    Why do I need to enter the Product Key Number all the time when I open Office programs? I use Microsoft Office Mac 2011 Home & Student. At least every week I need to re-enter the product key number..... Why??

    Get in touch with Microsoft support. Let them solve it. That is what I had to do with a similar problem.
