What's the best way to dry an iPhone that was briefly in water?  Rice? How long?

iPhone 5 was briefly in water.  I turned it off immediately. What is the best way to dry it?  It's in a bag of rice right now.  If that's good, how long should it be in there before turning it back on?

If you dropped it into water and it was submersed, even for a few seconds:
IMMEDIATELY
Turn it off, remove the sim card.
Put it in a bowl or box of uncooked rice.
Leave it there a few days (3 days is optimal).
Your warranty is voided by exposure to water.  There are two sensors in the iPhone which are white, and turn red or pink when touched by water.

    what is the best way to enlarge a part of a photo in lightroom?  How much cn you enlarge it and get an acceptable result?

    The way I would do it would be to crop the image so that it only displays what you want, then export that image and specify the dimensions. You will have to experiment with different export sizes to determine what would be acceptable for your situation. You might be more forgiving or more demanding than anyone who would venture to answer that question. That's the nice part about digital photography; you can experiment to your heart's content until you get the result you are looking for.

  • What's the best way to charge my iphone 6 for the first time ?

    what's the best way to charge my iphone 6 for the first time ?

    Just charge it to 100%.
    Use it on the charger when possible. Recharge when the battery is around 50% when possible. Avoid to let the battery go down below 20%.

  • What's the best way to charge my iPhone 5

    Hi what is the best way to charge my IPhone 5?  Should I wait for battery to completely drain first?

    NO.  Lithium batteries degrade far faster with deep cycle discharge/charges than with shallow cycles and more frequent charging.
    Try to avoid deep cycles as much as possible.  Otherwise, charge it whenever is convenient to do so.  You cannot overcharge it so you can leave it plugged in when convenient to do so as well.  Nor can you charge it too frequently, and even a partial charge is fine as well.
    I have chargers at home, at work and in the car, and plug mine in whenever I know I am going to be staying in one of those places for awhile, and I never really pay any attention to the charge state when I do so.

    Contact yor carrier. Your carrier may have some Mobile Insurance that you pay a certain amount per month to insure your device. Most carriers require you have the device less than 30 days in order to insure it. If your carrier is AT&T, AT&T has mobile insurance for only $6.99 per month. AT&T has open enrollment for their mobile insurance now. So anyone has an AT&T line can get insurance coverage for their device.

  • What is the best way to preorder multiple iPhone 6s and take advantage of the $200 trade in deal?

    Here's my scenario.
    Currently: I have 2 iPhone 4 and 1 iPhone 4S
    Plan: Upgrade all three to iPhone 6 Plus (16GB)
    What is the best way to do the $200 trade in deal for each of the old phone?
    http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/faqs/Equipment/trade_in_program.html#iPhone Trade-in Promotion
    1. When I preorder at 12:01 AM do I have to pay $300 or $100 for each?
    2. Do I have to send the old iPhones first in order to get the $200 gift cards?
    What should I do to make sure each preorder can be discounted?

        Vice_Actual,
    Thank you so much for reaching out to us. We are super excited about the launch of the new iPhone. In order to get the trade in deal you would need to trade in the device and then you would get a Verizon Wireless gift card mailed out to you. If you pay for the devices with a credit card on pre-order the card will not be charged until the devices are shipped.

  • What is the best way to plug my iPhone 5 into a mixer for live music performances?

    I'm thinking of performing live with my iPhone 5 or maybe an iPad that I haven't bought yet. What is the best way to get the sound for the device to a mixer or PA? I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with wireless options. I'm wondering if it is stable enough for live performance. There doesn't seem to be any audio interface options yet.

    there is always the 3.5mm minijack out connector sure it's analogue but a cable with male minijack in 1 and and 2 rca in the other would work with most mixers and or pa's

    i use an old G4 Mac Mini running 10.5 Leopard, and it's on 24/7
    it runs in headless mode (ie no monitor) and i remotely administer it using remote desktop (or logmein if i'm out the house).

  • What is the best way to charge my iPhone 6

    Im new to Apple product. Can anyone tell me what's the proper way to charge my iPhone 6? Most of the people around me (friends) told me not to over charge and better to charge it when the battery drain below 10%. But I read from many website everyone was saying charge it overnight is better and don't let it drain below 30%.
    So I dont know which is the proper way to charge my phone.

    You can charge it overnight and use it too, it will not harm ur device. You will want to let it completely drain and power off from no battery about once a month at least though.

  • TS1474 What is the best way to run two iphones on the one computer?

    I have recenty upgraded to an iphone 5 and my husband has taken over my 4S. However when trying to sync on itunes found even with different log ins for itunes some of my mail and photos ended up on his phone.
    Have duplicated ITunes as a copy for one phone and still some data crosses over. What is the best method?
    Laptop does not ahve library of our music installed to use as option.
    Would apprecaite advice.

    More than likely, your issue is sharing of iCloud information.  You can run as many phones, iPads, iPods, etc as you want on one PC without issue.
    Make sure you under Settings > iCloud that you have different IDs.  You should also use separate Apple IDs, which can still sync to the same PC.

  • What's the best way to make a DVD that has a slideshow and home movies?

    Is is better to make a slideshow on iphoto, then transfer it somehow to imovie, then add my home movies?  I'm new to Mac, so I don't want to get too into this project without advice.  Is there a way to make a slideshow in imovie and then add my movies? 

    There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
    If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
    Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    (Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico:  http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
    Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
    Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie  as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast,  for burning.
    You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
    To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

  • My mother and I share an iTunes account and library on our pc at home. I recently got a MacBook Pro for college and I want to put my music on my new laptop. What is the best way I should go about that?

    any help you guys can give would be great! I have a limited amount of time to do this.

    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder on your PC to /Music/ on your Mac.
    Then delete what you don't want.
    You will need to authorize yrou computer for the iTunes account yoru mother has.
    You should create & use your own iTunes account for any more purchases.
    You don't need to export anything and definitely don't need to (and shouldn't) convert anything.
