Why do the iPhone 4 set off store alarms?

Why do the iPhone 4 set off store alarms?

It is not the iPhone that is the problem. It is the store's equipment. Since I have gotten my iPhone, I must have walked through 100+ different stores and never set off an alarm.

  • Why is the iPhone cheaper from Apple store than elsewhere?

    Hi there, possible silly question for you here!
    Why is the iPhone 5C £319 from apple and £399 from the likes of Carphone Warehouse or Virgin Mobile??
    What am I missing?
    Having been with Virgin for a very long time and using basic phones I need something that's going to let me do what I need on the go without lagging and crashing so I'm going for an iPhone...possibly the 5C.
    Do you think Virgin would supply me with a sim to go in the iPhone if I bought it from Apple??
    Hope you can help!?!?!

    If Apple has decided to sell the 5C at £319 ( as shown on UK store) it will be NOT carrier locked  and will work with any of the UK Apple Approved carriers ,including Virgin
    (forget CPW their units will lock to the first carrier sim used )
    I imagine if you have a contract Virgin will provide the correct sim provisioned for your number ,but ask them first

  • Why does the iPhone 4S shut off by itself?

    I didn't notice it at first but when I go to use my iPhone 4S it was off, without me shutting it off or anything. This is the first time it's happened to me and I'd like to know why it shuts off by itself.

    Restore it in iTunes.

  • Are the new Iphone 5s setting off security alarms?

    Went to Kohl's and Walgreens on Saturday and the security alarms went off at both locations.  Greeter at Kohl's said it was the cellphone.  Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

    No idea.
    Look for yourseld or contact the store and ask.

  • Why does the iphone allow itself to be powered off while the screen is locked?

    Why does the iphone allow itself to be powered off whlie in the lock screen?  This makes it impossible to track if stolen does it not?  Seems like an assinine concept!

    It does, but there's little we regular mortals can do about it. However, you now have something to contribute to Apple via the Feedback Link!

  • With "Do Not Disturb" active, why does the iPhone beep when plug in for recharge?

    With "Do Not Disturb" active, why does the iPhone beep when plug in for recharge?
    I usually go to bed after my wife. I have the Do Not Disturb set for 11 pm to 7 am, and I can see the moon symbol.
    So why when I go to bed at midnight and plug in my iPhone to recharge do I get a LOUD BEEP?
    My wife is banning my phone from being next to my bed and an alarm clock.
    To me it seems that the "Do Not Disturb" should turn this beep into a vibrate.

    section2i:
    If that is true, then you should file that as a bug using the link above:
    If I am reading what you are saying correctly, you are saying that when vibrate is 'off', and you turn on the phone and plug it in that a vibration occurs, and that it is not respecting the vibrate 'off'.
    That would be a slightly different issue from what I am asking about (Do Not Disturb), and would probably need a separate bug report.

  • Why is the iphone search function spotlight limited in time?

    why is the iphone search function spotlight limited in time? I can only find entries that are less than a year old,but I would like to search older entries in my calender, which goes back to 2002. Anyone has a solution for this?

    Are you sure that your calendar still contains entries from that long ago? Generally when you sync the iPhone through iTunes, it will only sync entries from a specific time frame. It may be there older entries have been archived and do not exist on the iPhone anymore. Other than that, I don't see any setting that allows modification to the time frame for Spotlight search.

  • Why is the iPhone 5 using so much data I have read a lot of complaints and I have went over on my plan and never have?

    Why is the iPhone 5 using so much data I have read a lot of complaints and I have went over on my plan and never have?
    I have even turned off LTE. Cut off my cellular data off of apps. Still uses data I switched back to my iPhone 4 cause I had used my
    Data in 2 weeks!

    I have the same problem on my 4S 64G: I updated to 7.1.1 and burned through my cellular data allowance without running anything that ought to be using it. I incurred an overage charge on Thursday, my new billing cycle started on Friday, and I immediately had used 3/4 of my allowance for the new cycle. I typically do not use my allowance in an entire month so burning through it in a day or two twice in one week is very much not right.
    Possibly unrelated or not: last night I was out, did NOT use any apps that should use cellular data, and came home and my phone refused to connect to my home wifi despite turning this and that on and off. I burned cellular allowance while wifi was available.
    It seems like someting on my phone, whether an app or the iOS itself, is using cellular data even while my phone is not in use. All I could do is turn off Cellular Data in Settings but that very much diminishes the usefulness of a phone that has served me well -- without data overages! -- for several years.
    Please fix this, Apple!

  • Why does my iphone keep turning off when i put my pass code in

    why does my iphone keep turning off when i put my pass code in

    Hi ManiPictures,
    If your iPhone shuts down unexpectedly during use, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
    As your iPhone's operating system is already up to date with iOS 8.1.1, follow the last instruction - 
    If you still see this issue after updating, contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Brett L 

  • Why do the Iphone sounds mute when voice recording?

    Why do the Iphone sounds mute when voice recording?

    Thanks for the response!  I use Display Record with various sound/video themes and would like to include them in my presentations.  For what it's worth, I will make a suggestion to Apple, to make the muting of sounds, during recording a user preference/setting.

  • Why does the iphone 5 always display the wrong time

    why does the iphone 5 always display the wrong time

    I had similar problem. My iPhone was always about 3 minutes faster than the correct time here in the UK which I found to be very irritating. It just came to a head because here in the UK we have just changed from British Summer Time back to standard GMT. This actually worked automatically except that the iPhone time still showed it to be about 3 minutes faster than GMT. However I have now cured the problem (almost) by going to
         Settings/General/ Date & Time/ and then selected the "Set Automatically" button.
    The clock then immediately jumped back 3 minutes and now the iPhone time is only about 10 seconds slow which is good enough for me.

  • Why does the iphone 5 not sync the correct artwork to songs.

    Why does the iphone 5 not sync the correct artwork to songs. All the artwork is correct in the itunes 11 library, but when sync'd the iphone arbittary chooses what it wants

    My guess is you are using iTunes Match.
    iTunes Match is a great feature, but I suggest keeping it on only on your computer.  Turn iTunes Match off on your iPhone at Settings > Music > iTunes Match.  Then sync your iPhone and you should get all the artwork.  You may have to sync two or three times to get it all after turning off iTunes Match.

  • HT201406 why is the iphone 3G 4.2.1 so slow? after ios 4 on iphone 3G i don't want this phone anymore. So disapointed about apple!!!

    why is the iphone 3G 4.2.1 so slow? after ios 4 on iphone 3G i don't want this phone anymore. So disapointed about apple!!!

    First try Resetting it: hold down the home and sleep buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.
    If that does not work Restore your iPhone in iTunes.

  • How easy is the iphone to set up if bought online?

    how easy is the iphone to set up if bought online

    If you purchase an officially unlocked iPhone it won't come with a sim. When you get the phone contact your carrier or go to one of their stores & get a new sim. They will transfer your number & activate the sim. If you purchase a phone locked to your carrier, it will come with a sim installed & pre-activated. All you have to do is setup the phone to complete activation.
