    No. You are the only one. The way I know is that I don't have the problem, therefore no one else can have it.
    Seriously, no matter what problem you have, with a half billion iPhones in use, someone else will have the same or similar problem. So knowing that doesn't help solve it in the slightest. As it's new and still in warranty I would take it to an Apple store. Make a genius bar appointment first so you won't have a long wait.

  • It says not charging when it is plugged into my mac desktop

    My Ipad 2 says not charging when it is plugged into my computer and it does not show up on the side bar in the itunes app.

    It is possible that the USB port is not working properly as well. This support article might be of help.

    Sometimes all it takes is a restart - quit iTunes, restart your Mac and restart your iPad and see if that helps at all.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • HT201263 I just bought this iphone not even a month ago. It will not work unless it is plugged into the wall. It will not turn on plugged into a computer. Am I SOL? I do not have insurance.

    You do not have insurance.
    You do have a one year warranty on workmanship and materials.
    Call Apple and set up an appointment to have them look at it.
    They should fix it ot replace it for you.

  • HT202157 Why does Apple TV say Netflix is not available when I can watch it on my computer?

    I have reset my Apple tv to factory defaults, but it did not ask me to activate it again.
    For the last two days everytime i try watch a Netflix movie is says Netflix is not availble please try again latter.
    I have also power cycled my apple tiv by leaving it unplugged five minutes and upgraded the software.
    I was using it with no problem and am not aware of anything I did to hurt the configuraton.
    Again I have reset and restarted and power cycled several times.
    Not sure why it did not ask me to activate it again.
    I can also watch trailers and get to the sign in page on other channels.
    This is the first Apple product I have ever bought because I don't like the fact everything they have is propriatary.
    I work in IT and there is a good reason why you don't see Apple servers in datacenters.
    Maybe at an art department in a marketing company at the most.

    I understand that point. They are mostly bought from iTunes. But, I can watch on my laptop, iPad, iPhone on an airplane or wherever without an Internet connection. So why the hang up on my apple tv, should it not just be an extension of my laptop?

  • Why does my iPad say it's not charging even though it's plugged in?

    Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

    If you are trying to charge from a USB port on your computer, the port may not supply enough power to charge the iPad. It may even be charging but very very slowly and it will say not charging. You should use the power adapter that came with the iPad and plug the adapter into  a wall socket for the most efficient way to charge.
    This artcle will explain it

  • Why does my ipod touch 5th gen not charge when plugged into my computer? (it keeps stuttering(lightning symbol next to bettery goes on and off literally every second))

    so I have my ipod touch 5th gen connect and the little lightning symbol, next to the battery on the top left, keeps flashing on and off every second. I don't know what to do and also it doesn't show up on iTunes.

    Hey Ed, Try trouble shooting 101. Do you have a different cable and/or charging device? If so, try the different cable first, then a different charging device. If the problem goes away, I'd say it's the cable, replace it. If with in 1 from date of purchase, Apple will replace for free if the cable is found to be defective. If the problem continues with a different cable or a different charging device, then the problem is with your iPod. With a strong light and a magnifying glass look in the iPod's charging port. Your looking for damage in and around the port. Is the port lose? (shouldn't be). Are pieces missing or damaged? Bent or damaged contact pins can do what you describe. Foreign debris, namely pocket lint or corrosion can also cause charging issues. If you see something like lint, try to blow it out, or if you must use a non-conductive probe, I find a round wooden toothpick works well to carefully remove the lint from the bottom of the port. Just be careful to not touch, bend or damage the gold contact pins on the long side of the port. Also make sure the locking pins on the short ends (looks like two silver bumps, one on each end) of the port are free to move. If you find corrosion, try plugging / unplugging about 12 times to clean the contacts off. If you must use a cotton swab cut to fit, with a drop of 91% isopropyl alcohol on it, you want it damp, not wet, then plug it in and out until the swab comes out clean. You will most likely need several swabs. If you find nothing physically wrong, then try resetting your iPod. If that does not work, restore from backup, last resort, make a backup then restore to new, a full factory restore. If issue continues see your Apple store and have it evaluated for a possible hardware issue. But start with a different or new cable. Good luck, Cheers.

  • When I plug my iPhone into my computer it doesn't show up at all. Not on the computer or iTunes nor does it charge when plugged into the computer. It charges just fine when it's plugged into the wall .

    When I plug my phone into the computer nothing happens. The phone doesn't respond the computer doesn't show anything and ITunes doesn't show anything!

    I would not worry too much about the charging aspect of the computer connection for now.  I did notice that the last time I connected my iPhone to my computer the iTunes had changed and the only way I could determine that my iPhone was connected was by noticing a box at the upper right on the computer screen vs. the older graphical interface which showed the connected iPhone in a column on the left of screen.  My iPhone did not turn on and did not charge.  However the iPhone was connected and I could in-fact select Sync from one of the iTunes pull-down menus.  Again, for quite some time I though my iPhone was not triggering the computer at all when I connected it.  I use an iMac. 

  • My iphone 4 says connect to itunes when it is plugged into the wall but is black and doesnt turn on once I unplug it and the computer and itunes doesnt recognise it. I have tried it with serveral chords and computers. The software on it was never updated.

    It was my old work phone and when the company went broke we were all allowed to keep our phones. The service was shut off so i just used it as a personal organiser and used the internet through wifi. I had never updated the software for it because i didnt have a computer to sync it too to do the itunes updates. Is that possibly the problem? how do i make it work again?

    Jailbreaking iOS can't be discussed in this forum.

  • Why does my Mac say my hard drive is full, but that's not true?

    Why does my Mac say my hard drive is full, but there should be plenty of space on it?

    You need to get a program like OmniDiskSweeper,  it will check your drive and see what is taking up the space.  From there you can decide what to do.

    Do not worry about the backups.  They will be deleted automatically after a week, or if your HD gets too full.  See #30 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    The "other" stuff is just that -- all sorts of things that don't fall into the few categories listed.  The operating system, system work files, plus lots of your stuff like documents, mail, etc.  See Lion's Storage Display

    If you are using a USB hub, don't. Connect directly to the computer. Disconnect all other USB devices except for keyboard and mouse.

  • Why does the App store say 'download' to OSX Mavericks when i have already downloaded the update, and restarted the computer? I can't find Mavericks icon on the dashboard or launchpad either! Help!

    Why does the App store say 'download' to OSX Mavericks when i have already downloaded the update, and restarted the computer?
    I can't find Mavericks icon on the dashboard or launchpad either! Help!

    It sounds like you've installed Mavericks.  You can confirm this by clicking on the Apple located at the top left of the screen and choosing "About This Mac" from the menu.  You should see a window appear with the text "Version 10.9.1" near the middle.
    If it says "Version 10.9.1", then you've installed Mavericks.  It still says "Download" in the App Store because you can still download the operating system after installing it.  This is useful if you want to download it for a friend, or create a USB boot drive.
