Drop my iphone in the toilet and now is in recovery mode, if i restore will i lose my pictures?

i need help

Don't turn a water soaked electronic device on.  Pack it immediately in rice and wait until it is completely dry.  Even if it works initially components may corrode and eventually fail.  There are "Bags" you can buy to restore a water soaked cell phone (one time bags, or multi-use bags).  If you don't have one of these bags, then rice is the best thing I know of.  Obviously if you can get the phone to your service provider or an Apple Store that would be your best solution.

  • I dropped my iPhone 4 in water and now it won't turn on at all, will i lose all of my data, for example my photos and messages etc? and is there any way you can back the phone up without having it switched on?

    If you had previously been backing up to iCloud (or a computer with iTunes), you would possibly have a backup.  That said, if you can't turn the phone on, you cannot create a backup of the device now.  Sorry.

    Put in in a bag of dry rice for a few days and see if that drys it out. Don't be surprised if it doesn't. You may need to take it to an Apple Store. They will offer you a replacement at a reduced price
    Hope that helps

  • I dropped my Ipod in the toilet and now it's not turning on..

    Does anybody know if apple covers water damage on Ipods? I've tried looking it up and I can't find anything on it, I have a limited warranty that is going to ruin out in Jan. 2008 Someone please help??

    Trying to power it on may have been the stupidest thing if it wasn't completely dry on the inside... which you're unlikely to know. You have to let it dry someplace warm and bright for a few days. Seriously, keep it away from dampness or darkness. Sit it on a night stand with a night light, for instance. When you're sure it's completely and thoroughly dry, charge it up and try it again and I'm pretty sure it'll be up and running. It might be a little trippy at first and you may have to reset it a couple times, but I don't think it'll be fried if it's totally dry. Good luck!

  • I dropped my phone down the toilet and before I switched it off I sent a text. I have left it to dry out for the last 48hiurs. Is there any hope for my iPhone 5c?

    I dropped my phone down the toilet and before I switched it off I sent a text. I have left it to dry out for the last 48hiurs. Is there any hope for my iPhone 5c?

    Probably not. First of all, 48 hours is not enough. 5-7 days is better. Secondly, if you did not turn it off the very instant you retrieved it, it probably did worse damage. Even if it powers on, it's very unlikely it will function 100%.

    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.

    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.

    I Drop my iPod on the floor and now the screen won't work but it looks perfect but when I touch it it doesn't do anything and the home and the power button work so can someone help

    Try the remaining items of:

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I dropped my iPhone in the toilet?

    So, I was in my bathroom just about to get in the shower while listening to music, being the clumsy person I am, I ended up dropping my iPhone in the toilet. I quickly gathered the iPhone, and placed it in rice. I waited 3 days, and if I plug it into my laptop, it turns on for about 10 seconds (only logo appears) then it shuts off. I was wondering if I visited the Apple Store, would they replace this? I have an iPhone 4.
    Btw, I don't have a warranty.

    It was $99 with a contract heavily subsidised by the carrier.
    Retail price for a new one without the carrier subsidy is $450.
