Why do the apple chargers for iPhones only last a month ... I'm tired of buying chargers for three apple products in my home

Why do the iphone chargers stop working after a month of use I'm so tired of buying chargers for  supposedly the best products "APPLE" I'm getting really disturbed by it and ready to stop buying apple products 

I'm not trying to start a fight, but perhaps it is how you are using them?  They are somewhat delicate, but if inserted and removed properly, and not overly stressed when in use, they last.  I have several that are over a year old with no problems, and I remove them daily.
Most failures are caused by either pulling the lightning cable by the cable instead of the connector, or strain (force) at the cable terminator.  If your cables are failing that often, it may be you need to rethink when and how to use them.
**As a point of clarification:  Are you speaking of the lightning cable?  or the charging block that plugs into the wall?**

  • Why did the Apple TV update remove "home movies" from the computer option in Apple tv?

    AApple TV auto updated.  22 sept 2014.  Most of the movies I have on my iMac were under itunes as "home movies".  The Apple TV update removed the ability to see home movies in the "computer" option in Apple tv.   I can see them on my iMac, but no longer have access thru my Apple tv.  I can still see the few that are physically in "movies" in iTunes, but the Apple TV will now only show them.  Thanks

    Hello bernsteinr,
    It sounds like an issue with Home Sharing. Check out the article below for more information on getting Home Sharing working again so you can see all the movies that you have on your iMac show up on your Apple TV.

  • Why is the Apple Weather App wrong for low temps in Albuquerque, NM?  Low temp is always displays about 10 degrees too low.

    Why is the Apple Weather App wrong for low temps in Albuquerque, NM? 
    Low temp is always displays about 10 degrees too low.

    The reason for the problematic weather prediction in Apple is simple and disturbing at the same time.
    1. Traditionally Apple gets its weather data from Yahoo! they do so regardless to the fact that Yahoo is not a weather company, this arrangement has historical reasons (and it has nothing to do with the accuracy or quality of service you as a user are getting from Apple weather).
    2. Yahoo! (not a weather company) gets its weather data from the Weather Channel.
    3. Weather Channel CEO (David Kenny) also serves as Yahoo board member. So good luck changing the Weather Channel Yahoo agreement.
    4. The iPhone build in weather app is one of the world most popular apps, The Weather Channel has no incentive to make the Apple weather app as accurate as The Weather Channel own app.
    The result is – easy to use inaccurate weather app

  • Why is the decline button for phone calls not available when the phone is locked? I need that button and it shows only when the phone is not locked on iOS 7

    Why is the decline button for phone calls not available when the phone is locked? I need that button and it shows only when the phone is not locked on iOS 7

    Yep. You need to touch the sleep/power button once to silence the ring, and twice in order for the call to go directly to Voicemail.
    Personally, I dont understand why Apple eliminated this. If you wish to give Apple feedback, do it here:

  • Why is the ios6 compatible for all the iphones but not all the phones got the all upgrades, for example the panorama camera??

    why is the ios6 compatible for all the iphones but not all the phones got the all upgrades, for example the panorama camera?? this is another reason I am starting to dislike apple. An ipod is able to us an upgrade but not all the phones are? makes sense

    "why is the ios6 compatible for all the iphones"
    Ios 6 is not available for all iphones. Original Iphone and iphone 3 are not supported.
    "but not all the phones got the all upgrades, "
    This is common for most any device/computer.  Not all iphone/computer/device models can handle all of the new features.  Like any device, hardware is limited and cannot always support all new features and software.

    I have a pc that is one year old and the hard drive is crashing we use it only for quick books to run our small business I would like to buy a macmini and install the OS  from the pc to the apple product i will not use the pc after, can i use the OS off the pc or do I have to purchase another?

    I think you can get Windows 7 for around $99. Install the 64bit version as the 32bit version will not be able to use all your new computer's ram if you have more than about 3.5gb.
    Back up your quick books data now before the old hard drive dies. You can copy your data over to your new installation of Windows and quick books.
    By the way, there is quick books for Mac http://quickbooks.intuit.com/mac/?sc=BNR-000-COR-quickbooks&priorityCode=4902000 000&cid=ppc_google_QB-Intuit-Core-Brand-Mac_quick-books-for-mac_exact&site=&ad_i d=9347918288&raw_keyword=quick%20books%20for%20mac
    So you may not need to install Windows at all.

  • HT6099 why does the mac pro (late 2013) only support up to 60Hz at 1080p? TV screens are pretty much all 120Hz. So much for future proof.

  • Why is the Apple Store app only available to US residents only?

    I live in Canada, why is the Apple Store app only available to US residents only?

    Because this is what Apple decided to do.
    We have no way of knowing why Apple makes the decisions that they do and speculating is a violation of the terms of use of this forum.

  • My Apple TV can control all the apple devices in my home including my other family members devices why?

    My Apple TV can control all the apple devices in my home including my other family members devices why? I have home sharing on so my MacBook pro, iPad, and iPhone can be put on my tv. How do I only contol my devices?

    Lots of questions but essentially you want to try three steps:
    Reset the power on the device
    - issue continue?
    Reset all settings from: Settings > General > Reset all settings > Reset All Settings
    - issue continue?
    Restore the devices software: Settings > General > Restore > Retore
    - issue continue?
    You likely have a hardware issue. Visit an Apple Retail Store

  • Why does the Apple store carry  iKlear cleaning solution in stores?

    I noticed that the manual with my MacBook Pro just recommends dampening the cloth with water in order to clean the screen. Then why does the Apple store and website promote iKlear cleaning solution for the screen (rhetorical question) ? Is this product safe or not for cleaning the screen? Thanks.

    They carry it because they're a store, and like any store, anything that boost the margins is great to have on the shelf. It's the same reason any store sells really expensive accessories.
    I've always used water as the manual recommends. But iKlear is safe and I'm not necessarily against it. It may be good for unusual or stubborn stains that water can't dissolve. But for everyday cleaning, the question is whether you would prefer to clean your screen for free, or by paying for an expensive chemical.
    I've never bought a screen protector for my iPhone either, and it's been totally fine.

  • Why does the apple icon come on then off then a white screen appears?

    Why does the apple icon come on then off then a white screen appears? 

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why is the "other" on my iphone take up so much space?

    Why is the "other" on my iphone take up so much space?

    "Other" contains objects that are not categorized elsewhere.  It includes, for example, iOS, mail messages, and working space.
    If "Other" is more than about 1.5 gigabytes, that would be considered a lot of space.  That is often caused by corrupt app(s).
    You can shrink "Other" by restoring your iPhone using iTunes.  Plug your iPhone in, let it sync, then choose "Restore" from your iPhone's summary page in iTunes.  You can try restoring from the backup, but that may not work.  If not, restore as new and selectively sync apps back.

  • Why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

    why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

    I have a similar problem.  Originally, my iTunes advanced setting was set such that a shortcut to the song was copied into my music library so sometimes copying songs to my iPod resulted in them being grayed out.  I changed that setting some time ago and haven't had the problem until recently.
    I don't know what to do.  here's the situation:
         1.  I have a song that is stored on my file system within My Documents. (it was purchased via Amazon)
         2.  Through iTunes I choose the File | Import file to library (or some text like that)
         3.  I navigate to the location of the song
         4.  I import it.
         5.  I can play the tune from the music library or from an internal PC playlist.
         6.  I then attempt to copy the song to my iPod.  When I do, it appears in the iPod's playlist grayed out.
    I have done those steps countless times for dozens of songs without a problem.  Even others that I've purchased through Amazon.  What is so different this time?  I should mention that this problem NEVER happens if I buy the song through the iTunes store.  Only if I buy it from another source (e.g. Amazon).  WHY ???

  • Why is the apple app store popping up NSURLErrorDomain error -1100

    why is the apple app store popping up NSURLErrorDomain error -1100

    Largely due to an overloaded server.   Keep trying, every two hours or so.   I suppose it's all down to when Apple staff turn up for work.     Be patient  
    I have read that it is pretty much restricted to Mountain Lion.
    Hope this helps.
