Dropped phone in water and it still works.

I dropped my phone in water for 2 seconds and it still works but should i keep it in rice just in case or can i continue using it

Water and electronics don't mix.
Usually when there is water damage, you power off the phone and let it sit in a bag of uncooked rice fro at least 4 to 5 days.
The water damage is what is wrong with your phone.
You can get an out of warranty iphone at the Apple store.

Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store. Take your credit card.
An out of warranty replacement is $199.

In addition to what gdgmacguy said, be sure to regularly back up and sync
so when the coming failure does happen, you will have your data saved
and can put it onto your new iPhone.

If i dropped my ipod in water would it still work???

if i dropped my ipod in water would it still work ????????

There are a couple of solutions to that. Most involve silica gel. Silica can be found in little packets at shoe stores and such, it absorbs water and moisture. If you set your iTouch in a bowl of it, and let it sit for 3 days, you may get it back to working.

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

At the present time, audiobooks are a one-time download and cannot be redownloaded again for free. You can try contacting the iTunes store to see if they would grant you an exception: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

Your iPhone is most likely fried - out of warranty replacement on iPhone 4
is $149 US.
Try putting your iPhone in a bag of uncooked rice for 5 days to draw out
the moisture. It may work temporarily, but long term you are looking at
replacing the iPhone or upgrading to a newer model.

I drop my phone in water and it wont power back on

I drop my phone in water and it won't power back on?

Yes, that is very possible.
Water and electronics do not mix. You'll most likely have to buy a new phone.

HT201263 dropped iphone4 in water and turned off by itself

dropped iphone4 in water and turned off by itself and now cant turn on, plugged it to itunes and was asking to restor, when i did restore it it would not turn on when i try to restart it was still the same and now keeps on asking to restore would not turn on any help.... please

You can try drying it out internally by wrapping the unit in a paper towel and putting it in a bag of dry, uncooked rice (or a bag of silica gel pellets, if you have access to those) for a few days. It's very probable that it's been permanently damaged, but it's possible that if you dry it out, it may then work. If after a few days in the bag it still has problems, then you'll need to pay to get it exchanged (by Apple) or repaired (by a third-party repair service, which voids any warranty).
Good luck.

My screen is cracked on my iPhone 5 and it still works perfectly but now, it won't charge. I have two chargers and neither work. Is it my screen that has messed with the charging area?

Probably when you dropped it something inside the phone broke too.

TS4268 I upgraded my phone, now facetime and imessaging wont work.

So i upgraded from a iphone 4 to the 4S and I cant get my imessaging or facetime to work. I can sign in and out of the old phone and it still works but the new phone just gets an error message when I try and sign in. What can i do?

Ok, Can you try these:
Turn both FaceTime and iMessage off and then back on in Settings, be sure to wait a minute before your turning them back On. Wait for activation.
If that doesn't work, turn both FaceTime and iMessage Off and reboot your phone by holding down both the Home button on the front, and the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device, wait for the Apple logo to appear. Once back on, turn on either FaceTime or iMessage and wait for activation. Make sure your Cellular network is working and you are connected a Wifi network.
If it still doesn't work, try to Reset Network Settings from Settings > General > Reset.
Hope that helps.

WiFi will work, cellular will work but they may not be able to access LTE, they will have to send it back to you for the warranty work.

I am still using OS X 10.6.8 but if I update to OS X Maverics, will my Quicken and Word still work???

I am still using OS X 10.6.8 but want to upgrade to OS X Mavericks. I have 1 27" I-Mac 10.1 will my Word and Quicken still work?

Too bad they got it wrong, since there's two Quicken '07 for Mac versions, the original and the updated one named Lion Compatible Quicken Mac 2007. The former works only in Leopard and Snow Leopard whereas the latter works in Snow Leopard through Yosemite.
This is the latter one and they missed that it works in both Snow Leopard and Yosemite.
