Lana, I went to the Apple Store because my plug in cable had worn out and i could not charge my battery. I was told I had a wait of 2 and one half hours before seeing a technician. i was told the best way is to make an appointment on the website by going to: www.apple.com/ and the location of your nearest apple store. The problem is that it is often hard to get a ride. paratransit often comes late and if i book a friend, i must have them on the phone while making an appointment. In the old days one could walk into Apple and receive help in 20 minutes or so. Times they are a changin.

I received a post, which I don’t have any more, about someone having trouble with it, well, so did I. First. when I tried to unlock my phone, it wouldn’t go from the home screen into any apps. The only thing it would let me do was to install the update. Then it demanded a password, which because of the number and letter switching and my inability to doublecheck what was there without my keyboard, I couldn’t do. It had an ignore password choice. Unwillingly, I took it. After all, I couldn’t get my phone to do anything else. Nothing at all! There were more prompts, mostly about iCloud and keychain, most of which I wasn’t sure about, but didn’t have any choice. Now my phone is silent, and a sighted told me the screen is blank. Plugged and unplugged in the power cable. Nothing. When you power it off and on with the button, you have to get the number of seconds right, and there is no way to be exact. Usually, plugging it in gets it turned on, but this thing is dead in the water. Be careful downloading this update. If your phone won’t let you do anything else, run screaming and yelling for sighted help. Am without a car, now, so will be days before I can get it to someone. Those of you who have our tried and trues, like Stream and Sense, treasure them! I repeat.
