Dropped my phone in toilet, now the charger won't fit in the charger port...

I dropped my phone in the toilet yesterday, turned it off and put it in a bag of rice.
Today I turn it on, and there are multiple vertical lines on it and i can still use it, however I can't charger it because the charger port seems to have expanded so the hole is too small now for the charger part that plugs in..... Has anyone experienced this? I want to back up my phone before it dies and before I go get a new one.... Or can the phone store back up my phone another way?

Did you have to buy a whole new one or were you able to get an out-of-warranty replacement from Apple as Allan suggested? In other words, did you have to pay full price or did you pay just the lower out-of-warranty fee?
If you bought a new one, did you get the AppleCare+? If you're within the first 60 days, you can still get it by going to an Apple Store or calling Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE. With AppleCare+, the fee to replace a damaged device is usually only $79, compared to as much as $329 for an iPhone 6 Plus.

I dropped my phone in water, now the camera doesn't work, help!

I dropped my phone in a bucket of water. I dried it out in a tub of rice as told to do on the Internet , since then the camera or video won't work. I have rebooted to factory settings but nothing. Is there anything I can do?

No, since more than likely this was caused by water damage.
Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered by the warranty "repair" price that pays for an exchange at a significantly reduced price off the full retail sales price.

I dropped my phone last night on the floor and now it doesn't seem to be charging. it comes up the battery on the screen but doesn't actually seem to charge. i kept it on charge over night but that didn't work either.

You need to get your phone repaired. It's obviously damaged, and nothing we can suggest to you will fix that.

My iPhone is acting up again; freezing up during phone calls and now the head phone jack intermittently doesn't work.

I got my iPhone 5 back in February 2013 and for the most part of the year I enjoyed it. Then I started having issues with it. First of all the WiFi randomly quit working. I didn't even update it. So I tried updating it, resetting, and restoring it. While it was under warranty I tried getting the issue fixed, but Apple CS blew me off saying it was accidental damage and I should have gotten Apple Care. This time Verizon covered their *** and replaced the phone for me even though it was out of their 6 month warranty period. I think I posted this experience before.
Now my iPhone is acting up again. It first started freezing up during phone calls and now the head phone jack intermittently doesn't work. Again, resetting, restoring, and updating it did not fix these issues.

The original issue they didn't state exactly why it was Accidental Damage. After running through some troubleshooting, they just stated it was Accidental Damage and that I should file a claim with my insurance, and that Apple Care would have covered it; then closed the request.
I've tried resetting settings, restoring it as new, and that was a no go. When it freezes up during calls I also have to perform a hard reset by pressing and holding both the power and the home buttons to get it functioning at all again(just completely freezes, won't respond to touch or home button.) I noticed that the proximity sensor isn't responding as well, so I have to tilt it away from my ear while in a call to keep from pressing the buttons on the touchscreen with the side of my face. I avoid phonecalls now, and text exclusively.
I don't live anywhere near a Genius Bar so I'm stuck with the online support to Apple. And since I don't have a landline, I get charged for their phone support so I tend not to use it.
Getting two lemons in a row seems coincidental so I'm wondering if it's a bad batch Verizon got then distributed out.

I dropped my Macbook Pro and now the battery is swollen, should I bring it to the genius bar?

My Macbook Pro fell off my bed (approx. 3ft) and dented the left side of the front left corner on the battery meter. Besides the damage everything seemed okay for a little while until I kept getting a erratic curser track pad. I kept cleaning it thinking some dirty or oil may of got on it or in the edges, but long story short I found out my battery is swollen and thats the reason for the erratic curser. The drop and dent impacted the battery causing it to swell. I feel that I just need a new battery. I purchased my macbook from the apple store and still have applecare. However I've researched online a bit and saw some people posted that if you drop your macbook, Apple will void my coverage. I also read that when people have had a swollen battery and applecare, they just brought it into the Genius bar and they went to the back and brought them a new battery. I've been super nervous to go see them as I've spent the extra bucks on Applecare and did not get any use of it. If anyone has had this issue or knows about it, please let me know!!

Dropped ice cream on macbook. now the keyboard has become sticky. can i get it cleaned from the inside from applre store or or somewhere else?

If the ice cream as only affected the keyboard and not run onto other components they will perhaps suggest a new keyboard, I would be surprised if the could economically clean it up. If it as gone on the logic board then that is another problem.

Have just downloaded iTunes 10.5.2.(11) onto Mac Book Pro and now the earphones port does not work. Any suggestions? Annie H

Have just down loaded iTUnes 10.5.2.(11) onto MacBook Pro and now the earphone port is not working. Any suggestions. Annie H

My System Preferences>Soundoutput screen does not have the "Use audio port for" field.
Does your MBP have two separate audio ports - one for line-in and one output port? Then you wan't see that selector.
but the port has started to work again....Reason???
Perhaps there was dirt or something in the jack and the contact was bad.
(or you accidentally put the plug into the line-in jack instead into the audio-out; that happened to me once ).

My husband dropped his phone in water now it won't turn but when you switch the lock button the side it vibrates and we have been charging it and it's getting warm?? is there any way to retreive the information on without turning it on? Is their a memory

I really need help with this question. Can someone please shed some light on this subject.

Let it dry thoroughly in a very dry environment for a couple of days and then try to charge it for more than 15 minutes. Then try to power it on again. I did the same and after two days my phone turned on and although I could not make calls or use data, and the screen was erratic, I was able to connect to iTunes with my Mac and do a backup of both contacts and stuff like photos, settings, etc. afterwards I was able to restore my new iPhone from the backup and I got almost everything back including notes.

HT4993 I dropped my phone, it landed in the screnn, did not break, but now will not turn on or do anything?

I dropped my I phone 4s on the floor, the screen did not crack or break, but now it will not turn on or do anything, I have placed it on the charger, any one have any ideas/

Take it in for service.

My iPhone 4 is only 14 months old over dropped very well looke after, one day the lock button stops then the volume buttons, now the headphone port does not work and the battery lasts about 4 hours after full charge I still have a year left on my contract

My phone is 2 months out of warranty, it's never been dropped or miss used yet the past week every day something has gone wrong with it. First the lock button stopped then the side volume buttons. Then the head phone port when I putt headphones in the phone turns the volume
Down automatically and it won't turn up until I take my headphones back out. The battery lasts 4 hours max after a full charge and today I took my phone off the docking charger and all my music has gone! The phone is breaking down more and more everyday what is going on! I know people who have had there iPhones years an non of this happen! I still have a year left on my contract too!

Who is your carrier and what is your coverage with them? If you are with say Verizon, and have Total Equipment Coverage or Extended Coverage, they will swap it out for you under Manufacturer Warrantee.

I dropped my phone in water and the speaker will not work

I dropped my iPhone 4 in the sink and pulled it out immediately but it had been completely submerged. I then shook all the water I could out and found that everything worked fine, except for the speakers. I now cannot place a phonecall or play any music with out headphones or a speaker. Also when I try upping the volume, it says headphones when the volume thing is displayed. Is there any way I can get my speakers to work again? I have my phone in a bowl of rice already.

You're lucky that's all that went wrong.
First thing is to immediately turn off the phone.
There is probably still water in the headphone connector causing a short.
To dry the phone place it in a bag of rice and leave it there sealed in the bag of rice for several day. Hopefully when you turn it back on the headphone connector will work as before.
Normally submergence in water destroys a phone.
If the phone does not return to proper working mode, make an appointment at an Apple Store to have the phone replaced for the out of warranty fee.

Some water it fell to the hole where I can put my air plugs or air phones? And now the sound its not working. What should I do?

What should I do when water fell on the hole where my air plugs goes and where I can hear some music?

Best to take the iPhone to the Apple genius bar and have them ckeck it out...see if it can be cleaned and restored or needs replacement. Water and electronics do not play well together.

Dropped my phone in toilet, now the charger won't fit in the charger port...
