Will iPhone 5 otterbox mess up Touch I.D. on the 5s

I have an otterbox case for the iPhone 5, does anyone know if the rubber cover for the home button will mess with the Touch I.D. on the 5s? I plan on using the case until i get a new one but i dont want to use it if it will mess with the Touch I.D.

The Otterbox Defender for the iPhone 5 prevents use of TouchID. Otterbox has released an updated version. It's labled "For iPhone 5 and 5S."

  • Will there be an iPod touch 6th generation in the near future?

    Hi there, I am a proud iPod user and around two years ago I upgraded my iPod from a 2nd generation to a 5th generation. However, this particular iPod was not purchased at an Apple Store, it was purchased at a pawn shop and claimed it was " never opened". I should have trusted my instincts but I was thinking "hey a cheaper price and its new!" Obviously I could not get AppleCare because it wasn't purchasee at an Apple Store, and it is now bugging out Two years later which wouldn't be under apple care anyway. So I have been doing research on the iPod 6th genreaction thinking that when it came out that I should upgrade, IF it came out. I've been hearing rumors that apple is discontinuing the iPod FOR GOOD. I find this hard to believe but I guess now everyone listens to music on their iphones. Anyway, I am conflicted to just buy a brand new iPod 5 or if I should wait for an ipod 6, but will there even be one? Am I just wasting my time for something that is not even being created? I just don't know if I should try to get a good deal on one or if I should wait another couple of months. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

    Sorry, only Apple knows if there's a 6th generation iPod.
    We users like yourself are not in the loop.

  • Unlocking my iPhone 5s (running 7.1.2)either by Touch ID or passcode the screen will quickly flash black before showing the Home screen.

    HEY , please help.
    im currently running on ios 7.1.2 and unlocking my iPhone 5s either by Touch ID or passcode the screen will quickly flash black before showing the Home screen. You know its a pure random thing , like a second. Its annoying . Help please , do i need to restore i hard resetted it twice .

    You may have fragmented RAM on the phone; that second is the time it takes to move apps around in memory to make room for the Springboard (the internal app that displays the Home screen). To fix this do the following:
    While on the Home screen double-press the HOME button.
    For each app displayed, swipe up on its screen image to close the app and free its memory
    When all apps have been closed this way reset the phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears
    If this doesn't fix it you should restore the phone using iTunes. Please let us know if this solves it, however.

  • Power off notification popping up on my iPhone 5 without anything touching it

    the power off notification will sometimes pop up on my iPhone 5 without anything touching it

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device and restoring it again would be the next step:

  • The difference between an iphone and an ipod touch?

    i want to know if the difference between an iphone and an ipod touch is just that the iphone is like a phone that has internet and is a phone. or what else is it?

    The iPhone includes the same as an iPod Touch but also includes a phone, a camera, and a GPS radio.
    In addition to having internet access via wi-fi, the iPhone also has internet access via the cellular network, so as long as you have cellular reception with the iPhone, you have access to the internet in addition to having access via an available wi-fi network.

    No. The phone will still be carrier locked to ATT and need an ATT contract.

    Wait until it is available in your country. The US iPhone will not be of any use to you as
    it won't work with a SIM from your country.

  • My ipod will connect to my wifi, but it cant access the internet

    Okay my problem is, that my ipod touch 4th gen, will connect to my wifi, it will even have full bars, but when I try to go onto the internet, it says "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet." What is wrong and how do I fix it?

    - Can you connect to other networks?
    - Have y successfully connect to this network before?
    - Try powering off and then back on your router.
    - Reset your iPod.  Nothing will be lost:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset network setting on the iPod: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Try the troubleshootin here:

    My iPhone will not respond to my touch.  Does anyone know what the problem might be or has anyone had this problem before?

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • HT5704 Will iPhone 5 games work on iPod touch 4g?

    Most do, unless they require iPhone-specific hardware. It won't let you install it if it's not compatible.

  • My iphone 5S finger print touch sensor got damaged , replacement of touch sensor will work  touch id ?

    a local service person damaged my iphone 5s touch sensor while replacing the strip , after that only home button is working , finger print sensor is not working , only passcode option in settings, no touch id n passcode ... replacement of touch sensor will work the touch id ?? plz guide me

    It was in warranty (one year) until it was opened.
    If it is working (other than fingerprint reading), the safest thing is to just use it with a passcode.  It is still better than any other model iPhone.
    If you are feeling lucky, you could take it back to your service person.  Maybe the cable from the home button isn't connected properly, and can be fixed.  There is, however, the risk of more damage, so you can end up with no working phone.
    If there is a real Apple store available, they may accept it for a non-warranty replacement.  It would be cheaper than a new phone, but a lot of money for just getting fingerprint reading.

  • Will iPhone 3G turn into iPod Touch?

    I have been thinking about upgrading to the iPhone 4. I currently have a 3G. My question is will I still be able to use my 3G not in the capacity making calls but turning it into a glorified iPod Touch? Nothing is currently wrong with the phone, just think its time to upgrade?
    My other question, has anyone tried this yet? I would like to know if it is worth the $199 upgrade.

    You can use a no longer activated iPhone as an iPod Touch, but in order to install a firmware update on a no longer activated iPhone or restore a no longer activated iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed, the no longer activated SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated must be inserted in the iPhone to complete the process. This does not involve re-activating the iPhone.
    Is it worth AT&T's subsidized price for the iPhone 4 which requires signing a new 2 year contract, I thought so or I would not have done it and I and continue to think so. There is a significant improvement with the iPhone 4 and the 3G.

  • If a lost or stolen iPod touch is reset by the finder, will I still receive notifications through Find My iPhone if it connects to Wi-Fi after the reset?

    If a lost or stolen iPod touch is reset by the finder, will I still receive notifications through Find My iPhone if it connects to Wi-Fi after the reset?

    If the device is completely reset and restored to defult settings, then it will not notify you because all the account informmation will have been removed. (Which is probably a good thing too)

  • How to transfer apps from an iPhone to an iPod touch

    I have an iPhone for work that I sync to my work computer and also have an iPod touch that I sync to my home computer. Is it possible to transfer apps purchased on either device to the other device? For example, I have the angry birds game on my phone and want to put it on my iPod touch. Is this possible?

    *Transfer apps from old iphone to new iphone:*
    1.Open iTunes on the computer that is used to maintain the other iPhone.
    Note: Make sure you are using the iTunes that belongs to the target iPhone. If you sync to her iPhone from your iTunes, you could potentially mess things up for her and yourself.
    2.Authorize iTunes to use your account information (different from the account that is currently on the computer). This can be done on up to five separate computers. To do this, go to "Store > Authorize Computer."
    3.Enter your iTunes account credentials and click "Authorize." If you have authorized too many computers, it will let you know and you will have to free one up by going to a copy of iTunes you've already authorized and choosing "Store > Deauthorize Computer."
    4.Connect the iPhone that has the licensed applications or media you want to transfer on it to iTunes (aka "your" iPhone). Connect the cable from your iPhone to the computer, and it should show up in iTunes.
    5.Right-click the iPhone icon in iTunes and choose "Transfer Purchases." Once the iPhone is connected, it might ask you to update, restore or back up. Do not allow it to do any of these things.
    6.Your iPhone will say "Sync in Progress," and you'll see the files being copied in the iTunes window. This process could take a long time, depending on how many purchases you have on there.
    7.Eject your iPhone from iTunes when the transfer is complete.
    8.Connect the target iPhone to the computer. It should now appear in iTunes.
    9.Go to the Applications tab for the iPhone. You should see the applications you previously transferred from the other iPhone in there. Choose the ones you want and when you are ready, click "Sync" at the bottom. The applications will transfer to this iPhone, and you're done.
    IT's a method to transfer apps from an iPhone to an new iPhone,hope it can help you.
