My iPhone is bend a little due?

And you can see inside the lights and stuff. Is there a chance this could give me health problems? I mean like nasty chemicals in the components of the phone like mercury? The gap in the side is about 1mm.

How to import pictures and videos from my iPhone to my laptop?

I just bought an iPhone 5S, and I own a Dell laptop running on Windows XP. My laptop also has the Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard driver.

I want to transfer a bunch of personal pictures and videos from my iPhone to my laptop.

However, whenever I connect my turned-on iPhone to the USB port on my laptop, I get the following error message-

"The computer can't detect the scanner or camera."

What could I be doing wrong?

How can I successful import picture and video files from my iPhone to my personal computer?

All of my text messages have disappeared on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1.2?

My phone has been on the fringe of running out of storage for a few months, typically hovering between 500 MB and 1 GB. However, my messages suddenly started to glitch, so I turned off my phone and turned it back on, and my messages were no longer showing in the messages app. I checked the usage section in the general settings, and the messages were still present and taking up 1.8 GB of memory, as they had previously been, but I could not view any of these messages. I searched for them in the spotlight search and I could see them there, but when I clicked them it would direct me to my blank messages app.

So far, to no avail, I have tried:

Hard Reset (holding home and power button for 10 seconds until phone restarts)

And selecting 'Erase All Content and Settings' in the settings and restoring my phone from a backup.

After performing these procedures, my phone has jumped to 8.0 GB available (most of which appears to have been app cache and unwanted music), but the 1.8 GB of messages still shows up in my usage settings. The only difference now is that the messages no longer appear on the spotlight search. At this point, I'm unsure of any other procedures I can perform to recover these messages, as they still appear to be present in my phone, just not visible.

And lastly, would calling Apple be a viable solution, or would they just suggest to do what I have already done?
