Can information be stolen from a phone that doesn't work?

My iphone 5 has water damage. I let it sit for a few days in rice and turned it on. It came back on for awhile, but then cut off and wouldn't restart.
It looks like it's worth quite a bit on ebay, but if I sell my phone which will NOT turn on at all after putting it in rice, can someone resurrect any information from it?

Put it on your charger, let it charge for at least 30 minutes then Reset it while it is connected to power. Might take several tries. If it revives: Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings.

How do get my pictures from my iPhone that doesn't work

How can I get my pictures from my iPhone that doesn't work

When you plug it into a computer, is there any reaction? Is it just the screen that's dead or the whole phone?
If the whole thing is dead then there may not be anything you can do

How to recover a library from a laptop that doesn't work

My laptop died(my brother in law spilled cola on it). I have a new one but I don't know how to recover my library from the old one:( it doesn't start,the GeekSquad told me the motherboard is the problem(too expensive) but I can recover the library if I contact iTunes. So I was thinking to check the forum first,maybe somebody had the same problem.
Thank you

If you have everything on an iPod, you can get it back from that, too.
I don't know if I would trust the Geek Squad person who said contact itunes.
iTunes store support will not help you with hardware!
Maybe someone else on the squad could get your entire itunes folder off the hard drive.

HT3529 How can I remove my Apple ID from a phone that is not working? I cannot text anyone with Iphone because the Apple ID and IMSG

My IPhone broke yet again due to "known issues", so I am back to an android. But, I cannot text anyone who has an IPhone, had this issue previously and Apple nor my carrier helped out. I have removed my number on Apple.com, as told by my carrier which doesn't help. Also, the IPhone did a factory reset by itself and cannot get past the plug in with itunes screen, and the phone will not stay on when plug it into a computer.

You need to immediately change the password for the Apple ID, for starters. If have iCloud and Find My iphone enabled on the device you can remotely wipe the device. If you do not then there is nothing you can do except change the password for the account.

I brought a new ipad 2 4th generation and have tried to download music from icloud to it but it appears to download and then is not on the ipad. I have also tried to manually add music from iTunes but that doesn't work either? What is going wrong?

HElp

You are not using iTunes Match are you? If you are, you have to turn it off on the device before you sync with iTunes but I'm not sure how that impacts manually managing music in iTunes. I would also assume that if you use Match, the songs would download from the cloud by using Match on the device.
iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Support - Apple
This is sort of a long shot, but it's easy to try and won't hurt anything. Close all the apps on the iPad in the recents tray and reboot the iPad, then try again. I saw this work for someone else a while back that couldn't download or sync music, but I think it was probably just a coincidence, but as I said, it will not hurt to try.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

How to recover my photos from my ipod that doesn't work

So My Ipod touch 4gr stopped working on friday. And I would really like to know if it's possible to get my photos off it to my computer!

If iTunes sees the iPod then just import them.
Otherwise you need to contact an data recovery company.
However,
- Restore another iPod, iPhne or iPad from that packup if they are in an iPod backup:
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe from an iPOd backup that iTunes made by:

How can I remove music from my iPhone that's not on a playlist, or checked off in the Sync window in any of the possible categories (Playlist, genre, artist, etc)? HELP! It's taking up SO much space on my phone

How can I remove music from my iPhone that's not on a playlist, or checked off in the Sync window in any of the possible categories (Playlist, genre, artist, etc)? HELP! It's taking up SO much space on my phone but I cannot see a way to remove any of it

If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up.
You should have a look in:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/Extensions
You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.

HT1296 When I connect my iPhone 4 to my computer it says that there is no device driver. I click fix it now and it does nothing. How do I fix this so that I can transfer my pictures from my phone to my computer? Please help. Thank you

I cannot get my computer to find a device driver to connect my iPhone 4 to my computer so that I can transfer my pictures from my phone to my computer in order to free up some memory on my phone. Can you please help me. I have used the troubleshoot method on my computer and it does nothing. I have a Windows 8 computer. Thank you for your help.

Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.

I downloaded music onto my iPhone 4S from from the iTunes Store that I previously purchased, and now I can't delete them from my phone. I tried do remove them from my MAC too, but still can't delete them.

How are you trying to delete the music direct on your iPhone?
You tried to remove the music from iTunes on your Mac how?
Do you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer?

How can I import contacts from LG phone

My wife is moving from an LG
extravert phone to iPhone 4S. How can I import her contacts?

Your wife should also be able to take both phones to a direct retail store for her carrier. Carriers have machines that can transfer contacts directly from one phone to another.
If your carrier happens to be Verizon (I know they sold the Extravert), there is an option on the Extravert called Back Up Assistant. As long as the phone is still active, she can sync her contacts to that. When she activates the iPhone, she can download the Verizon Cloud app and sync the contacts to the phone.

How do i delete photos from my phone that were downloaded off a computer i no longer have

I have 2 photo albums that won't delete when I go to edit my folders. I understand this is because I have taken them from a computer and put them on my phone. I also understand that if I plug my phone into the computer and go to iTunes I can select which photo albums I want on my phone and which ones I don't.
The problem I have is that the 2 albums I have on my phone are from an old computer I don't have anymore. And they are not on my new one that I'm using now. So when I go to selected photo albums in ITunes, those albums are not there for me to delete.

Try going to iTunes and remove the checkmark in front of "Sync Photos From" and then do a sync to see if it will remove all of the previously synced photos from the phone. If that doesn't work, try changing the selection of photos to be synced so that only one new photo is sent to the phone. If that successfully deletes the photos on the phone you can then select any photos you want added back to the phone and sync again. Note that each time you sync, iTunes sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current iTunes settings.
