I'm not Ellen, but I'm the one with the battery replacement issue. We went to the Apple Store on Saturday but unfortunately they didn't have any batteries in stock. My husband left his phone with them and they gave him a loaner until they get his battery replaced. He should get his phone back in a week or so. They are also fixing his lock button which had stopped working.
My phone was a different issue. It does need to have the battery replaced, but the tech said there are other issues dealing with apps on my phone that are also affecting my battery. She wants to restore my phone to factory settings rather then restoring from a backup. Otherwise, she said I will continue to have battery problems even with the new battery. (Right now my battery is so bad, I have to always be plugged in to a power source.)
Although I had backed up before going to the Apple Store, I wasn't quite ready to let them wipe my phone. There are some songs that exist only on my phone and I can't get them to transfer to iTunes. Even though I have proof that I purchased them, Apple customer support says I have already downloaded them and therefore cannot download them to my PC. I think I'm unlikely to get any cooperation from Apple customer support, so I'm going to have to bite the bullet and assume the songs are lost. But I have definitely decided never to buy music from iTunes again - I can get anything I need from Amazon, and and Amazon customer support actually supports the customer.
The Apple Store will notify me when the batteries come in. I'll have to go back to the store and leave my phone with them for an hour or two while they install the new battery. At that point I'll let them restore from default.
I'll let you all know what happens.
Regards,
Leti
