Can I get pictures off of an iPhone 5 with water damage?

So my wife recently dropped her iPhone 5 in the toilet... And I believe she tried to power it on after she got it out and dried it off, which I know is a big no no. So I tried the bag of rice trick. That didn't seem to do too much. When I plug it in to my MacBook Pro, iTunes will recognize it, and say that it is in recovery mode, and that it needs to be restored in order to continue. I said **** with it and tried to restore, but I get error message 2001. I know I can get at least a little money for it from places like Gazelle, etc. even if it is water damaged, and I have already ordered the 5s with an upgrade we had on our plan, so I'm not too concerned about having it repaired; although if I could restore it, I could get a little more money. So I have 2 questions.
1. Is there anyway I can get the pictures off of the iPhone without paying $230 to have it repaired.
2. What does error message 2001 mean? And is there anyway to restore it at this point?

I the device will not power on without going into recovery mode then the pictures would not be restorable even with a repair.
Try Resetting the device ( Power button + home butto till you see the apple).
Error 2001: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694?viewlocale=en_US will help with this if at all possible. However if you restore the pictures will be erased.
Your best bet is to look in iTunes for a backup ( Edit>preference>devices you will see all the device backups on the computer here) or in the iCloud once you sign into her Apple id on the new device.

  • Is there any way to save an iphone with water damage?

    Is there any way to save an iphone 5 with water damage? I know older phones you could some times use rice to dry it out.

    1, Place in ziplock bag with dry raw white rice for a week.
    2, When that doesn't work take to Apple and purchase out of warranty replacement.
    3, If you have already turned on the power the damage is done so just proceed to step 2.

  • How can you get pictures off a broken locked iPhone 5

    my husband broke the screen in his phone and let it die. Now we cannot get it unlocked to get the pictures off. Is there anyway to get them off??

    Unfortunately, no. The only slim chance is if you connect it to the computer that you normally sync with. If it is a trusted computer, at times, it will allow the import. Generally, it will stop and ask for the passcode. If that is the case, then you will not be able to recover them if you do not have them imported or backed up already in iTunes and/or iCloud.

  • Can I set up an iCloud on iPad to get pictures off my dead iPhone 4S?

    I had a Lifeproof case on my phone and dropped it into water on accident. I have an iCloud but its not set up totally and I am trying to get the 1,300 pictures off my phone and to put them onto my iPad. My phone hasn't been updated due to the mass amount of pictures not allowing me to update to iOS 7, while the iPad is fully updated. My phone is in rice and has been for the last few hours. It worked for about 5 min after dropping it but now isn't. Is there any hope/is this possible?

    Sorry, but I'm not clear. Was iCloud set up on the phone prior to the accident?
    P.S. the phone is now almost certainly shot for good - trying to turn it on only a few hours after the accident, while it was still wet, made sure of that.

  • Can i get Pictures off of a broken

    my iphone 4 has just stopped working and the power button has been broke for weeks so i cant even restart the phone. Also it is not being recognised when i plug it into my computer. Is there anyway at all that i can get my phots from the broken phone?

    If it is not being detected by the computer, then there is no way to get data off the device.
    If PhotoStream was enabled on the device, all pictures taken should already be there and can be synced to another iOS device.
    If the device has been used as designed, pictures taken with it would have regularly been copied off to a computer so any loss should be minimal.

  • HT1212 any way to get pictures off a disabled iphone?

    My daughter's iphone4 is disabled after too many attempts to enter her password.  Before we reset it, is there any way to get pictures/videos off the phone first?  The phone has never been connected to iTunes.

    Luckily, the phone can be synced, backed up, or have pictures uploaded from the camera roll while it is locked.
    iTunes will not let you access the phone if it's in a locked state. It will pop up with a message telling you, you must enter the passcode on the phone
    Do you have a Mac or PC?
    On a Mac anyway, iPhones and iPads are different.  An iPad will lock you out as you describe, whereas an iPhone will let you sync, backup, and upload pictures without unlocking it.
    I just tested it and it worked fine.  Not long ago, we tested it the hard way when my son got a mild concussion, the only lasting effect of which was to make him forget his iPhone passcode (we theorize he had just reset it prior to the accident). 
    I don't know what happens on a PC.

    Sounds unlikely but if your computer recognizes it when you plug it in then import them.

  • 8830 Can't get pictures off phone

    I upgraded my phone and wanted to upload my photos to my pc to save.  I have already turned off that phone so I cannot email all of them, and that would be a pain as there are so many.  I saw that you can use the bb as a mass storage drive, but i do not have a card in it( never did so I did not add one). So my pc does not recognize the old BB as a storage drive and I cannot access the files in the phone to get them off. anyone solve this one before? thanks

    Just put a media card in the device, move the pictures over to it (Media folder > Explore > select each one by one and select Move). Then you have them on the card.
    Alternatively, you might try using the Media Sync software found in Desktop Manager.

  • How do I get pictures off of an iPhone that doesn't have a service provider

    How do I get my photos off of my iPhone that doesn't have a service provider?

    If you mean pics taken with iphone ( camera roll), then you take them off the same way as with any digital camera ( iphoto, camera and scanner wizard, photoshop, etc.)

  • How can I get a song into my iPhone with iTunes match on?

    I have some spanish learning tracks, and it wont upload to the cloud.
    I cannot access my music in the sync mode of my phone. it just says I have match on.
    How can I get these track on my phone so I can learn spanish?

    Much like the act of putting your old chumbawumba cd in a box in the attic to make space on your shelf for newer and better music, you should cleanse your iphone of old music files regularly.  Songs aren't gone forever, you can still dust them off and listen to them later if the mood strikes.
    Open settings click general>usage>storage>music>edit
    Then delete all locally stored music
    If your in the mood you can always download that catchy "I get knocked down, but I get up again... You ain't ever gonna keep me down" track and rock out like its 1998 (or whenever that **** song came out)

  • Is there ANYWAY to get pictures off a destroyed iPhone that can't sync?

    My boyfriend has an iphone that was never synced with a computer (I know, I've taken care of that with his new phone) but that phone contains pictures that are very precious to him. Not just every day pictures that he'll miss....But the photos of his daughter leading up to, and just before and just after her open heart surgery. She was only 4 and he would do anything to get those pictures back. But the phone was dropped while he was working on a roof, and is shattered, and cannot connect with a computer. Is there anyway to sent this into apple, or any other course of action to get the information off the hard drive on the phone? We would obviously be willing to pay for a service... I just need to know if such a service exists, and how to get it.

    doubt there are anything you yourself can do
    but there are companys who make their living salvaging data from many different source such as burned laptops and the likes
    but depending on the damage the price could be very very high

  • How can you get pictures off of your iPod?

    When I attach my iPod to my computer, Adobe Photoshop Album will "see" my videos and music/audio files on the iPod, but not the pictures. Is there a way I can import my photos from my iPod?

    You should be able to import photos from iPOD. In the Photo Downloader, there are media filter toolbar buttons on the top of grid. Please un-press the video and audio button. Please see, you should be able to see your photos then.

  • Computer doesn't recognize that phone usb is plugged in..can't get pictures off phone!

    I have tons of pictures on my phone that I want to put on my computer and I was able to do it once within the first week of getting my phone. Now every time I try it the computer is not recognizing the usb no matter how many times I mount it on my phone. What is going on??
    Thanks!

    Ugh, this took me two days to figure out ... I'm already bald so I didn't have any hair to pull out but I tried!
    So I messed something up and my computer stopped recognizing my droid 4. I found an article about setting up your phone for usb and it mentioned going to System Settings->Storage->USB computer connection. So on my phone that is the 3 lines button on the bottom left of the phone's face, aka Menu Button, then select System Settings. Then scroll down to the DEVICE section and select Storage. Then hit the 3 lines button (Menu Button) while in Storage and it pops up with USB computer connection at the bottom. After selecting that, I then select Media device (MTP) but I could've selected Mass Storage or Camera if I felt brave
    Worked for me, hope this helps someone else.
