Why won't my week-old iPhone 5 work at all?
I've had this Iphone 5 for about a week now, finally got around to syncing a few songs and photos onto it today and once i did this it just stopped working.
I now can't open any app (including all the original ones that came with it), cant lock or turn off the phone, the home button only does the colour inversion thing when you press it 3 times. I can still swipe across to my other pages and change position of apps but still can't open them.
I tried to restore it but it just times out and I figure there must be something else i can do to fix it.
I assume that it's on the most recent operating system seeing as i only got a week ago.
Very annoying, if anyone can help me then you will forever be a fresh lord in my books... Cheers!!
Hi Kingzyfresh,
Try resetting it: Hold down the Home and Power buttons until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your issues are resolved.
Cheers,
GB

My 3 week old iPhone 4S switched off during a call and won't switch back on. Any suggestions??
Sounds like a dead battery. Try plugging it into a charger.

2 week old iphone suddenly won't turn on
My two week old iphone 4 suddenly would not turn on nor will it take a charge. Is this a typical problem? Any suggestions beyond finding an Apple Store?

When I buy and download high resolution music files (FLAC and DSD), I convert them to AIFF files and add them to my iTunes music library. Specifically, I have been converting DSD64 files to 176.4/24 AIFF files. These AIFF files (modified in some respects by iTunes) have been synched to my old iPhone 5 and new iPhone 6. Until December, every 176.4/24 AIFF file played as expected. In December, I purchased two DSD64 albums, which I converted to 176.4/24 AIFF files using AudirvanaPlus 1.5. These 176.4/24 AIFF files will not play on either iPhone. When I converted those DSD64 albums to 88.2/24 AIFF files, they played on both iPhones. In December, I also purchased several 192/24 FLAC albums and converted them to 192/24 AIFF files using Amarra HiFi. These 192/24 AIFF files play properly on both iPhones.
Why won't iTunes allow my iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 to play 176.4/24 AIFF files created in December of 2014 and January of 2015, but will allow my iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 to play 176.4/24 AIFF files created before December of 2014?I have a similar problem and have spent three sequential days at the Apple Genius Bar before we were able to exclude most other possibilities and found that certain files (in my case all mp3s from CDs I own) that play just fine in iTunes 11.0.1 and that used to play in iOS 6.0.1 do not play in iOS 6.1. We restored the phone to factory settings and synced only a few of the music files that were problematic. They still did not play. We reproduced the problem on my iPad mini (iOS6.1).
Apple Telephone Support suggestion was to convert all mp3 files in iTunes to AAC (which according to Apple Website may degrade sound quality). No further suggestions or escalation but a recommendation to place comments on www.apple.com/feedback and, if there are enough complaints, someone at Apple might take an interest in this problem. Something has changed in iOS 6.1 where files that played on prior mobile system software no longer work.
Apple, please pay attention to this glitch with iOS 6.1. -

My less than 2 week old iPhone 5 has gone into recovery mode... I've been trying to restore all day using itunes but just as the restore is about to finish, error 21 comes up. My phone is essential for work and this has caused me endless problems today. I am disgusted with this, I need a reliable phone. Please someone help me get it working again?!
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service. -
My 1 week old iPhone 6's power brick does no longer working. Is it covered with the 2 years warranty here in italy? I want a replacement ASAP.
If your charger is defective, it will be replaced by Apple. As to your warranty, here in the US the warranty on iPhone is 1 year. I wasn't aware it is two years in Italy?

Will old iPhone charger work on iPad
While the new iPhone 3GS chargers are 5 watts I think, we still have a spare charger for the original iPhone which says it's 10 watts. So would the old iPhone charger work fine on the iPad?
They look very similar. The only difference is the old iPhone chargers say 10 watts and 5 volts while the iPad chargers say 10 watts and 5.1 volts.I understand that the new iPhone 3GS charger, which is 5 watts, will charge the iPad slower, but wouldn't original iPhone charger, which is 10 watts, charge it just as fast as the iPad charger?

Why do the apps on my iphone not work after i connect it to my iMac?
Why do the apps on my Iphone stop working everytime I connect it to my IMac?
There are a few things you can try. The first is to simply reset the Shuffle as it may be the cause of the issue.
Resetting iPod shuffle
Otherwise, also make sure that the earbuds are plugged all the way in and that the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Shuffle.
If possible, use another set of earbuds to see if they work okay. If they do, we know its the headset that is the problem and from there you'll need to take the necessary steps to replace them.
