So its 4am in the morning, my 4 day old is finally settling down for some sleep…sigh. I notice out of the corner of my eye that my iPhone has stopped charging. At first I am not too alarmed, check the plug and connection all fine. Hmmm…I go get another charger, still nothing. I get another iPhone cable and this time connect it to my computer…still nothing!
Now I’m getting a little worried to say the least! I eventually try everything I can possibly think of but it still won’t charge or even be recognised by a mac or PC.
So time is ticking, my precious iPhone won’t charge and I have valuable data on it. A full format takes 2 hours…but I don’t have that long. The race is on to delete the sensitive stuff just incase I have to send it away to be repaired!
I delete my emails, bank info, logmein etc…
Finally the last few bars disappear and she shut down.
Tomorrow I will tell of the fiasco that was the REPAIR and getting my data back onto the phone
“getting a little worried to say the least”
Makes the entire event sound very calm & civilsed, not at all the chaos that I remember that morning.
Ok ok, Lesley is right it was not as calm as I am remembering it. I believe my mind may infact be blocking the trauma from my memory. Feel free to give us your version.
Fin
Testing my new subsription feature
Ok so what I remember from that night was this-
I awake, bleary eyed and tired as yes it is only 4 short days since I gave birth to our son to find Fin standing at the end of the bed with our son in the crook of his arm & Ruairí is crying hysterically. In his other hand Fin is holding his iPhone & he is shouting ‘it won’t charge, IT WON’T CHARGE!’
So I take Ruairí from Fin & he disappears off to the office & I settle Ruairí finally getting him back to sleep. At this stage I am wrecked & just want to go back to sleep & don’t even want to ask what is wrong with the iPhone. I’ll admit at 4am, bone wearingly tired, I didn’t really care what was wrong with the bloody thing.
But I get up & do my good deed & potter into the office to find Fin sitting on the floor with his Samsung laptop out, his Mac out, several Apple cables, 2 plug adaptors & him sitting in the middle & I stupidly ask ‘what’s wrong sweetie?’. He looks at me. His face crazed & shakes the iPhone at me & says in a crazy rant ‘It won’t charge, I have tried it with both laptops, plugs, changed the combinations of plug & cable or laptop & cable & it won’t charge. Why won’t it charge?!’
I have no idea why it won’t charge & it is my second night home from the hospital so I didn’t care anymore & I think I know what will solve the problem, I could throw it out the window! So I leave him to it surrounded by laptops & cables in the middle of the office floor with a crazed look maybe even a tear in his eye.
