My i5 is water damaged.....will boot with logo but not operate.  I wish 2 sell, but must wipe data first.  Suggestions?

Not operate?
Try this...  tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
If that won't work, then you won't be able to delete all the deta.
Rather doubtful you can sell an water damaged iPhone ...

  • TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

    My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

    - After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod?  If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
    - If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • If my iphone screen is cracked but it also has water damage will it be covered under applecare?

    If my Iphone screen is cracked but it also has water damage will it be covered under applecare since i need the screen replaced?

    Neither of those is covered by the standard one-year warranty.
    If you purchased AppleCare+, you may be able to get it replaced for $79+ tax; otherwise, you will most likely be paying $269+ tax to replace the phone.

  • My repaired water damaged macbook pro has no audio with the icon greyed out. i tried all the suggestions but nothing seems to work. however, on my external clone, the output does work. any ideas about this?

    I tried reseting the pram, reinstalling the software, plugging the headphone jack in and out, deleting playlist but nothing works. on the external clone, the output works with noise but still no input device.
    can i use a sound card instead?

    If you just had the system repaired for water damage what did they replace? If it was the Logic board then all parts should work and if they don't, like the sound, then they didn't fix it correctly and you should take it back to them for a proper fix.

    You can not install iOS 5. It is no longer signed by Apple. You can only install the current version of iOS. For a 3GS, that's 6.1.3.
    However... if you have 4.2.1 on your phone, odds are it is not a 3GS, it is a 3G. If that's the case, you've reached the end of the road for that. It can not run anything higher than 4.2.1.

  • Putting cat litter in a bag of cat litter after water damage- will it help

    If you put your iphone 5 in a bag of cat litter will it help more than rice after water damage? if so, what kind????

    http://discussions.apple.com/message/22464453#22464453
    It doesn't matter as you didn't  let your phone sit in the bag of rice long enough.
    You just may need to pony up and go to the Apple store and buy an out of warranty iphone 5.

  • IPhone 5 water damage, will text messages come through?

    My iPhone 5 suffered water damage about a week ago. I spilled a drink on it and it was not responding to touch and wasnt reading my SIM card. I took the SIM card was taken out as soon as I realized it was wet. I did the rice thing for a few days. Currently my battery cant hold a charge long enough to power up past the Apple Logo screen.  I've since put the SIM back into the phone now that its all dry ( in order to avoid misplacing it). My question is, will the texts sent to my dead phone during this past week come through once my phone is repaired?

    Yes, but not until your check clears.

    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • My iPad is disabled and won't connect to iTunes on any computer; I went to my iCloud and removed the iPad so it will erase all data when the iPad is connected to the internet (the original problem was a restrictions passcode we forgot)

    Here is the order of what I did to my iPad:
    1.  A restrictions passcode was put on and we couldn't remember it.  Despite numerous attempts at righting this, I couldn't. The iPad would not sync with any iTunes on any computer, Mac or PC.
    2.  I put a, 'use passcode after one minute' passcode on it and deliberately put in 10 wrong passcodes so it would disable the iPad.  Now it still will not connect to any iTunes.
    3.  I connected to my iCloud account and removed the iPad from the cloud; it says it will erase all iPad data when it connects to the internet.  I am fine with that, I need to know what to do now, though. iPad says, 'Connect to iTunes,' but it won't.  Please help this amateur of all amateurs!!

  • HT1766 If I erase all data and settings on iPhone 4S will I lose my purchases

    I have a iPhone 4S I bought on December 9th 2012 from sprint and I'm not sure if I will lose all my iTunes purchases like my movies TV shows and TV show seasons some I bought with a gift card and I'm low on gb so I want to know if I backup or reset all data and settings will I lose all my purchases movies apps etc?

    Erasing all Content and Settings completely erases the phone.  Your purchases should be in your iTunes library.  If not, connect your phone to iTunes, make sure your computer is authorized for all Apple IDs used to purchase your media (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer your purchases to your iTunes library.  You can then selectively remove media from your phone without erasing the entire phone, and sync it back later as desired.

  • Laptop will boot... backlight turns on... but no video signal

    Hello!
    (I searched but couldn't find a situation quite like mine, so sorry if this is a repost.)
    After dropping my iBook, I busted the bezel/clutch. The unit powered up, including a fully functional display, but the lid just opened a little screwy.
    So, I had the bezel/clutch replaced by an IT buddy, and when everything was reassembled, the unit would still boot up, the backlight would turn on, but there was no video signal! We thought maybe the VGA cable got messed up in the process, so we had it swapped out. Same problem.
    Any ideas? Any thoughts if this problem is related to: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=877652&tstart=60 ?
    I got a heck of a deal on this thing, so I'm thinking about just connecting to an ext. display, backing up everything, and parting it out on eBay. But this was my first Mac, and I only had it for a week, so if there's an easy/economical fix, I definitely want to give it a go!
    Thanks folks!

    Lactoes,
    This is from Apple:
    "Display
    No display, or dim display, but computer appears to operate correctly
    1. Remove any connected peripherals.
    2. Try known-good power outlet, power adapter and power cord.
    3. Press F2 (with the fn key pressed and not pressed) to increase the screen brightness
    setting.
    4. Reboot the computer—hold down the Control and Command keys and press the
    Power button, or press and hold the Power button for 5 to 10 seconds to shut down the
    computer, then press the Power button to restart.
    5. Reset the power manager by pressing the key combination Control-Option-Shiftpower.
    Warning: Make sure you do not hold down the "fn" key when resetting the
    power manager.
    Warning: Resetting the power manager means you will also need to reset the
    date and time (using the Date & Time control panel).
    6. Reset PRAM (Press the power button, then hold down the Option-Command-P-R
    keys until you hear the startup chime at least one additional time after the initial
    startup chime).
    7. Verify backlight cable and LVDS cable connections are seated properly and that the
    cables are not damaged (refer to display assembly replacement instructions).
    8. Replace display.
    9. Verify cable connections and check cables around the hinges for damage.
    10. Replace logic board."
    The LVDS cable:
    922-6368
    922-6432 (SS)
    Check this out:
    http://www.pbparts.com/shop.php/9226432
    apparantly there were two versions of this cable the first and the ss.
    Even so you should get something. Try the external monitor and report back.

  • Water damage to iphone screen not working

    I need to back up to icloud, but my touch screen not working.  Siri is working, i can text. Is there any other way to backup contacts to icloud without touch screen?

    UUsually when a phone gets wet you put it in a bag of uncooked rice for 5 to 7 days, but that doesn't guarantee that it will work.
    you can get an out of warrant iPhone at the Apple store.

  • HT3302 An apple genius told me there was water damage in my iPhone 5 today which was the cause of the problems I am experiencing and suggested I pay £209 to replace it, I have since checked the LCI and it shows no sign of water contact. Why are they lying

    After opening the sim holder and using a light and a magnifying glass to inspect properly the liquid contact indicator it was still perfectly white without a spot of red. Why did the Apple genius  lie to me and try to make me pay for a replacement phone when mine is under warranty and is experiencing an intermittent internal fault.the fault I am experiencing is the phone not recognising the SIM card every so often. It is fixed temporarily buly switching off and on again or removing and reinserting the sim.
    My iPhone is up to date with the latest software and runs fine apart from this fault.

    Why did the Apple genius  lie to me and try to make me pay for a replacement phone when mine is under warranty and is experiencing an intermittent internal fault.
    There is more than one LI sensor.  In any case, there's no way for anyone but that genius to answer your question.  Why didn't you ask him when you were there?
