Are water stains okay for iphone 5

I drop my phone in water, everything seems working fine, including charging the phone, but i have a small water stain on the right bottom corner. I basically live off from my phone, so i dont have time to place it in the rice for a couple of days. So would it be okay to have a water stain on my iphone 5?

Sure...............until it quits. Water and electronics don't mix. It is not if your phone will fail, it is when. I would be backing this thing up as fast as I can before it quits completely and you come back on here asking how to backup your content.

  • What are the Flash alternatives for iphone and ipad?

    Hello,
    I would like to know what could be the Flash alternatives for iphone, ipod, and ipad. I would like to create iphone applications that have 3D animation I usually create with Flash.
    But since Apple does not support the use of flash, I need to know what applications or programming languages I must use to create movies or animations for iphone or ipad.

  • Who are the big names for iPhone development?

    In .NET (C#), the big names are Anders Hejlsberg, Eric Lippert, Scott Guthrie, and Mads Togersen to name a few. All are Microsoft employees. They have blogs and there are lots of video interviews of them.
    Are there any similar Apple iPhone developers (employees) that are just as accessible?

    Apple used to do that kind of thing. Guy Kawasaki used to be the official "evangelist". Steve Wozniak is still, technically, an Apple employee. Neither really has any official role with Apple anymore, let alone with the iPhone.
    So far, the iPhone doesn't seem to need much help. Most iPhone developers are too busy developing to give interviews. There is a fair amount of media coverage. Just this weekend there was a story about iPhone developers in the New York Times. Of course, it was in the "Fashion and Style" section rather than the business section. Make of that what you will

  • Where are the backup files for iPhone stored on windows 7?

    Can't find backup files for iPhone on pc using windows 7. Other posts list a path but the folders listed do not show up on my pc. Lost several file entries when updating to ios5. Files that were shown dated from an older backup.

    As an addendum, if I need to, and hopefully won't, unless I switch computers, how can I revert from a copy of a different backup?  Thanks. :-)

  • Are there any alternatives for iphone backup extractor?

    Hi all,
    I find that the 'iphone backup extractor' program is very useful, however it is quite annoying that they limit the extraction to 4 files at a time and that we have to pay in order to get our own data files propperly. :S
    When I restore my old backup from iTunes, every new thing is gone, when I restore the backup I just made, the old backup stuff has gone. It just replaces each other.
    Apple should have their own software like this where you can extract what ever you want from your old backups and transfer it on to your phone, such as contacts for example.
    Anyway, I was wondering if there is any alternatives for this program, or any other way I can extract my backup files ?

    If you're on a Mac, there is a "free" iPhone backup extractor, but none that I know of for Windows. You could always code your own program, that would be free.
    Apple doesn't provide a mechanism to do this for the simple reason they don't want users screwing with the iPhone backup. Thus, none of these third-party programs are supported.

  • Are there waterproof cases for Iphone 5c?

  • What are some good alternatives for iPhone insurance?

    As we all know, neither Apple nor at&t offer insurance on the iPhone. So I was looking to see what other options exist for insuring the device? I was looking at www.safeware.com but there's no indication of iPhone insurance. Any suggestions or ideas?

    Thanks, but unfortunately, AppleCare does not cover water damage, loss or theft. I'm concerned about "beyond warranty" issues, like the before mentioned. I don't really own a home (yet), so homeonwner's insurance is out. I received an e-mail from safeware that they were currently reviewing the iPhone with their underwriting staff to determine future coverage.
    Again, if anyone else knows about iPhone insurance coverage, please let me know!

  • Is the ios7 okay for iPhone 4s

    Okay so my phone is an Iphone 4S, and i have the ios 7 on there. It was fine when it first came out, but after awhile when i started to use my camera it would freeze or turn off. And when i started using apps like instagram, twitter, facebook, all different types of apps - it would turn off or freeze. Its really annoying, i just wanna know if my support carrier would get me the new iphone 5C or 5S. Because its ridiculous.

    If you purchase a new device, your carrier will be happy to sell you one.
    The issues you describe occur on all iPhones on all versions of iOS.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Are jpg's okay for an HDV project?

    I'm working on a 60-minute HDV project in PP3.  In addition to ~50 minutes of HDV footage, I have ~150 still images.
    To prepare the images before import to PP3, I do the following:
    * open the RAW image from Adobe Bridge...perform edits in Adobe Camera Raw...save as PSD file
    * open the PSD file in PShop...resize the image to ~1440x1080 pixels...sometimes larger if I expect to zoom in
    * save it as a JPG with a quality setting between 9 and 12 so that the resulting file size is between close to 1MB...never more than 2MB.
    I specifically avoid importing image files as PSD files, since they are usually 4 MB and up in size.
    Comments, please.

    Hunt,
    Thanks for your continued help and for taking the time to be so thorough in your postings.
    I read your Article with great interest.  Based on your attention to image quality and the importance of preserving the original files, I can tell that we're cut from the same cloth.  I also come to the video world from still photography and am sensitive to those issues.
    Re: your most recent post...I agree completely about testing the quality difference between PSD and JPG files.  There have been times when I have animated layers in a PSD and have needed that capability...but that was in an SD project, not an HDV project.  It was a family history movie which ran over an hour, including the extra features.  It was a combination of jpg stills (~200) and SD video.  I had no performance issues with my PP3 configuration.
    But my HDV project seems fragile by comparison.  My first 25-minute HDV project took ~6 minutes to load and caused frequent (Not Responding) semi-crashes.  I also learned the hard way that using MP3 audio files caused render failures and crashes (not experienced in my SD project).  Replacing all audio soundtrack files with WAV files has helped...but I am not too trusting of the systems' capabilities.  I have initiated a fresh project to continue work on the same production.  Since this is for personal consumption (not client work), I can live with having my Europe Trip production parsed, although I hope to combine them into one HDV project at the end with a run time of ~ 1 hour.
    I render the project(s) to MPEG2 files using the the Adobe Media Encoder and use a Western Digital WD TV HD Media Player to serve an HDMI signal to my 46" TV.  I am very pleased (stunned, actually) with the fidelity of the images...what an improvement over seeing one's work rendered down to SD.  I highly recommend it...the WD player is only $100 on Amazon...much cheaper than going Apple TV (max 720p) or with Blue Ray burning and playback.  I'm happy to provide my AME settings if you're interested.
    To the topic of proper scaling - maintaining circles than want to morph into ovals...
    This is only a recent problem for me.  In an effort to make my project as lean as possible, I took some advice offered on the Creative Cow PP forum to scale images to 1440x1080.  That prompted me to use PS3 to do that scaling (using Rectangular Marquee+Crop, or simply the Crop Tool) with settings entered into the Tools' parameters.  As I began to import these into my HDV project, I noticed that some images were being stretched on the horizontal axis.
    That prompted me to experiment by creating a perfect circle of black on a white background in PS, trying difference Scaling and Save As options, and evaluating the results after import into PP.  Frankly, that has been a mind twister.  The same PSD file, when Saved as a JPG, exhibits the stretched behavior...go figure that one.  That has led me to the wonderful world of PAR settings...again, experiments on that circle document have had unexpected results.  At this point, I have some interest in figuring it all out, but am pressed with a Thanksgiving deadline on my Europe Trip production.
    In brief, my original workflow is as follows:
    * open the image (use raw converter for global adjustments and save as PSD)
    * if images from the pt&shoot are used, skip the raw work but open in PS3, as below
    * use PS3 to adjust for composition, lighting, etc. and save as a PSD
    * make a copy to be used for the video project only
    * open those copies...assess how much zooming I'm likely to want...use Image Size to downsize/resample the longest dimension accordingly
    * use Save As to compress to a JPG file of ~ 1 Mb...max of 2 Mb.  With possibly 200+ images in an already fragile project, I feel it's essential...and the JPG's display very well all the way through to the WD TV and the TV
    In the spirit of getting this project finished, I am going to abandon the "proper scaling" efforts with 1440 parameters and go back to my original plan.
    I'm tempted to write up the workflow in a bit more detail and call it "The Survival Guide for Handling Still Images in Premiere".  Hunt, your Article was the first thorough discussion I could find on any forum...I'm wondering why I couldn't find it earlier...my loss.  It's a shame that the Adobe User Manual and other books like the PP3 Bible don't spend much time at all on advising folks on how to handle still images.  In books that are hundreds of pages long, you'd think a page or two could be devoted to it.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Preventing water damage - ok for iPhone in a ziplock bag with silica gel packs?

    I'll be in Florida next month on vacation, and I'll be outdoors a lot of the time. I know it rains a lot in the summer, so my preventive plan is to have a ziplock bag handy for my iPhone, and include a silica gel pack as insurance to dry up any moisture that may be present.
    Is there any risk to my iPhone if I have it in close contact to a silica gel pack for an extended period of time?

    No, but in your case the sealed bag is more important than the silica gel packet. Or invest in a waterproof case.

  • How many are using annual upgrade for iPhone?

    I've been qualified for my annual upgrade for a couple months now.  I'm glad they got the form fixed that now shows eligibility.
    Curious who else is planning on cashing this in, knowing that it will likely be the last annual upgrade we will get to use.

    The annual upgrade doesn't show up until after you earn it.  So, in April, as long as you don't change your plan below minimum requirements, it will appear on your account at that time.

  • HT6337 Handoff/Instant hotspot requirements for iPhone 4s

    HI,
    Apple updates recently the "HT6337: Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity" support page which was not very clear. They added some explanations to activate and use each feature.
    It's better but Handoff/Instant hotspot requirements are still not explicit for iPhone 4s : what does "(sharing iPhone calls only)" mean?
    This precision is wrong because SMS/MMS sharing is available too for iPhone 4S.
    For iPhone 4S,
    Call and SMS/MMS sharing is available.
    It seems Handoff is not available.
    What about Instant Hotspot?
    Best regards,
    Florent.
    PS : I would be nice that Apple updates the HT6337 to clarify requirements for Handoff and Instant hotspot by separating them in two distinct paragraphs.

    I thank you for you answer.
    I let a feedback to Apple few days ago on the document by answering "No" to the question "Helpful?" at the end of the page, and the document was updated. Unfortunately, the confusion about Instant Hotspot is still in the system requirements document (System requirements for Continuity on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac - Apple Support). I let again a feedback. I hope Apple will update this confusing page pretty soon.
