HT1937 My brother has just updated his iPhone, it's now not accepting either his password or apple id to update apps, any ideas how to fix this?

My brother has just updated his iPhone, it's now not accepting either his password or apple id to update apps, any ideas how to fix it?

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

Iphone 4 set up query have a brand new iphone 4, I have plugged it in using the wall charger and it does not seem to be doing anything. Trying to turn it on it is not working either. Is there some vital part of set up I have missed or is this a dud??

I have just received a brand new iphone 4 in the mail. I have plugged it in using the apple wall charger for around 3 hours now and it does not seem to be doing anything. Tried to plug it into the computer, again no response. Trying to turn it on has not had any success either. Should I be concerned that the screen is blank and not showing a charging symbol?? Have I missed some vital step in set up??
Thanks for your help!!!!

Try resetting the phone:
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
Then, launch iTunes & connect your phone...what happens?

Nope not there i dont know what to do

I have an iPhone 4 that is not holding charge and heating up. I've been told it is a problem with the processor.

I have an iphone 4 that is not holding charge and is heating up excessively. I've been told that the iphone 4 is having problems with the processor and that it will soon die and there is no way to repair it. I got my phone in CR through Kolbi / ICE which guarantees it only for a year. I would like to know what Apple would like me to do. i have not taken it in for rapair or anything in hopes that they will acknowledge that the phone is only a year old and would support it.
Appreciate your help,

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue persists, take the device to Apple or the Apple Authorized Service Center in the country where the device was originally sold. The warranty is not International.
All iPhones come with a one year warranty when sold as new.

From the article which you posted your question from:
Errors related to downgrading iOS
The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

TS1398 my Iphone 4 S will not accept Wifi Passwords - for some Wifi locations

@ some locations my Iphone 4 S would not accept the Wifi Password , gives me a error " incorrect Password " - any suggestiions ? It connects with my Home linksys moderm .

Only the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is locked can
unlock it. If the iPhone is locked to Orange, you have to
work with Orange to get it unlocked. Perhaps someone
more familiar with UK wireless providers will jump in as
to the 30 day period, but generally the wireless provider
sets the unlock requirements. It sounds like Orange is trying
to discourage unlocking or at least make it inconvenient.

My iPhone will ring but not play music. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

My iPhone will ring but not play music. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. See if fixed. If not, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple. If no coverage, clean again with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.

HT4623 I have updated my iPhone 5 but after this update it does not accept charging

Dear Sir/Ma'am,
I have update my iphone 5 software with iOS 7 but after this update it does not accept the charger or neither any charging ?
I need to know how to solve this issue please.
Thank you

Well when you download the update with iTunes it will always download the whole new version (in your case 7.0.2) even if its just an bug fix. If you already have 7.0 download the update over-the-air.
You already wrote that the update is only 21 MB, so its not the whole firmware package of 7.0.2 you get with iTunes.

Try resetting your SMC and PRAM.
Resetting the System Management Controller >>
If that does not help, try a new battery.

HT201407 I want to change carriers I have followed all the instructions but my iphone 4 will still not accept the new carriers sim

I want to change carriers but my iphone 4s will not accept the new carriers sim?

Did you deal with your previous carrier and they agreed to unlock your iPhone? You got the inforamtion about restoring and then got the welcome message you were unlocked? Perhaps the sim you are trying to use is not valid, can you try another and see if that works?

HT4528 My IPhone 4 battery will not stay charged for one day.

Help!! My IPhone 4 is 1.5 yrs. old. The battery will not stay charged for a whole day. I am not using internet more than 1 hour, not listening to songs or anything else. I have restored the phone and still the battery life is horrible.
Any suggestions.

Hi pakala2022,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the iPhone is not charging past 48%. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Nov 2008 Battery - now not holding charge - is this grounds for a free one

As the tile suggests I dug my receipt out and I replaced my original battery with a new one for $170 in Nov 2008. Now the battery is cutting out at various stages ( 10, 20, 30 even 50% )and not holding charge despite attempts to calibrate, reset PVRAM etc etc etc.
Is this grounds for a replacement or just the natural life of the battery ?

The purpose of the forums is to ask and answer technical questions on OS X and other Apple products. Polling is forbidden. If you want to find users with similar problems then do a forum search rather than asking. Searching the forums is always the first thing you should do before posting a question.
Just so you won't think I'm being persnickety about this please read the Terms of Use by clicking on the link on the right of this page.
But specifically you are asking if you have grounds for a part replacement. No one here can answer that question because it is up to AppleCare or the vendor to make the determination. And such determinations are done on a case by case basis. Nothing you're told here in this regard is reliable.

ITunes 8.1 will now not burn/import or play anything at all.

Ok since installing the new 8.1 upgrade of iTunes I am now unable to anything at all. First of all a window popped up tp inform me that the drivers could not be found so I couldn't burn so please re-install iTunes. So I did and now not only will it not burn anything, it will not import ( it won't recognise any cd that i put into my drive at all ),it won't recognise my ipod and it won't play anything that is in my music library at all. So is there going to be a repair to this from apple at any point? I now have now way of getting anything onto my ipod at all. I have tried to re-install itunes several times since and still get nothing. It just does not do anything at all!!! Come on apple, this is serious, can someone please sort it?

try removing the iTunes, then do a fresh install and this time check the box for installing both Bonjour for Windows and Quick Time.

Sales order does not create FI document, only billing document does. You can only apply payment to the corresponding FI (transferred from billing) document.
