I dropped my iPhone 4 in water put it in rice and turned it off for 2 says then when i turned it on it was black but i could use voice control to call people and hear them perfectly and they could hear me but i couldn't see anything on my screen. Whats wrong with it?

If you can backup your phone before using the below option then I would back it up and use the out of warranty option:
Out-of-warranty* cost:
iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5: $269
iPhone 4s: $199
iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, Original iPhone: $149
Plus a $6.95 shipping fee. Fees are in USD and exclude local tax.
*Accidental damage isn’t covered under the Apple One Year Limited Warranty.
If you have important data that is still on the phone and you do not have a backup, and unable to do a backup, then try what I described earlier because the geniuses at the bar WILL NOT recover your data. Seeing that my technique worked for me, I will stand by my earlier response (the one that was removed).
Also, I would use silica/desiccant packs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly-o7sAsFtI over rice any day.

HT201210 My iPhone became wet at the beach. I put it in rice for 4 days. When I connect to itunes, it says the phone must be restored. It starts and then gives either the error 2001, or 2006. What exactly does this mean, and is it worth getting repair

Water damage isn't covered by warranty, but you could always purchase a refurbished device from Apple.

My phone was stolen, but I had no data left and so can't locate it till the person who has it tries to use the internet. I backed up all my photos on iCloud, and want to get them on my PC. I installed iCloud onto the PC and still can't find my pictures?

I installed iCloud onto the PC and followed the instructions and still can't find my pictures, says my photostream folder is empty, but it shows on iCloud that i've used most of my storage which is true, so they must be there somewhere?
Any ideas? I'd really appreciate the help! Thanks

Yes, I filed police report, but there is nothing they can do until I get back to them on the tracking. It's been offline. I'm sure the whoever took it can find a way around breaking in the ipad..i really was hoping to get my pictures and videos of my kids back

I dropped my phone and the screen went black but I can still hear when I get a call or text.. How can I fix this?

See Here for > Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
Try this First...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

My iphone 4s' screen is black, but it's still on and charging. I broke my lock screen button so I am unable to turn it off using the home button and lock button. Is there any other way my phone can restart or turn off ? Is my phone broken for sure?

Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged. Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
Have you done so? If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer. Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

I dropped my ipod in the pool and put it in rice for three days and now the screen stays white. what is the cheapest way to fix my ipod?

i dropped my ipod in the pool and put it in rice for three days and the screen just stays white now. what is the cheapest way to fix thiss?

There are companies that specialize in data retrieval but it's costly (probably cheaper to buy a new iPod) and more than likely as Allan said, your circuits are probably damaged beyond all hope of retrieving anything. It's worth calling Apple you maybe able to get a discount or a refurbished iPod. Can't hurt to ask, Good luck. (And in the future... no texting in the john.) Sorry, couldn't resist it.

I accidentally put my itouch 4th generation in the washer, so i took my itouch apart and dried it but now the screen is black but my itouch still makes a sound when i plug it in. what should i do?

so i accidentally washed my itouch and i took it apart and dried it but now the screen is black, i restored it but it still doesn't work but it makes a sound when i plug it in like it normally would. please help me

Yu can try the suggestions here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Was the restore successful?
If so I conclude thay the washing damaged something and servie is required. Ormaybe you damaged something when you took it apart/put it back together.

My Macbook's screen went black, but the laptop still works!

I have a 2008 MacBook and it was working perfectly fine until one day I was using it and the screen instantly faded to black. I first thought my battery power had shut off, so then I closed the laptop but that little light on right front side was still blinking meaning the computer was still on. I then shut down the computer and turned it back on but as it started the screen was its normal brightness for about 3 seconds then it quickly went black again. If I shine a light on the screen I can barely make out what it shows, which is my normal screen when I open up the laptop.
Did my screen somehow break from overuse or does have to do with the battery?

Try a SMC reset

My iPod shuffle 4th gene. says it sync all my music but when I want to hear it, it doesn't play ...works on my iPod touch and iPad so what wrong with my iPod shuffle?

The songs worked on my iPod touch and iPad

Your iPod shuffle has only 2GB capacity, so unless your iTunes music library is small, it is probably NOT syncing "all" of your music. It may not be syncing any songs... If you use automatic syncing, you may need to set up the shuffle's Music tab in iTunes.
Connect the shuffle and select it in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Select Music there. This is the Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync the shuffle with songs. Sync Music is checkmarked forautomatic syncing.
If your entire iTunes music library can fit on the shuffle, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Create your selection of songs below. For example, if you want to keep it simple, create a new regular playlist in iTunes. Put ALL songs you want on the shuffle on that playlist. Back on the Music tab, find and checkmark that new playlist under Playlists.
When you click Apply, your selection of songs on the Music tab syncs to the shuffle, replacing its current content. Going forward, any library changes that are related to the Music tab settings sync automatically when you connect the shuffle, or when you click Sync. So, if there is a playlist with your shuffle's songs, you can just update that playlist (add and remove songs) whenever you want; iTunes automatically updates the shuffle with the same changes at the next opportunity.

When I try to turn on my old ipod nano it will flash and then go black again. only when its hooked up to the computer. whats wrong with it and how do I make it work?

Ok. My brother has an old Ipod nano. It's the tall one with the tiny screen. Anyway, he tried to turn it on one day and it just flashed white and then went black again. We tried everything we could and it still wont work. Now it wont flash unless it is plugged up to the computer. How do I fix it so it will work again?

Have you checked the volume button? It might be physically stuck. To determine whether a hardware repair is needed, you need to follow these steps:
1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
After that: test the device to see whether the issue is solved.
2. If the issue is not solved, you should backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup.
If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
Good luck

My iPod display is completely blank but I can still unlock it and hear the click. I know where most of the icons are so I can put on music sometimes. Is there anything I can do?

If still a problem you have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is inorder.

It sounds like the LifeProof case may have leaked. Did you pay for the Waterproof protection? If so, you can file a claim with lifeproof, pay the deductable, and get a replacement.
If you didn't purchase the Waterproof guarantee, if you have Applecare Plus, $79.00 will get you a replacement. If you don't have AppleCare Plus, then this is a $269.00 replacement lesson.

I dropped my phone in water and put in rice for 3 days and plugged it into my computer but it keeps flashing the Apple logo and a no charge sign. It also is not connecting to my computer and it does not say "Amelia's iPhone" in iTunes

I'm sorry to learn that you are not able to make/receive calls chelseabee! (ticket number removed) results indicate that there is no issues with the network or account provisioning. Since you have already done a hard reset http://vz.to/1gBkSJc (as per your post), I recommend exploring replacement options. If your phone is within the one year manufacturers' warranty we can provide a Certified Like New replacement http://vz.to/uyYF0o as long as no physical/liquid damage exist. If your phone has sustained physical/water damage and you have insurance, you can submit a claim to the insurance company online at this link http://bit.ly/07CrqPK

My daughter has dropped her phone in the pool and placed it in rice for two days as suggested it still won't work! Any ideas??

My daughter dropped her phone in our pool and put it in a bag of rice for 2 days as suggested but still not working! Any ideas??

Go to the local Apple store and purchase a refurbished replacement.
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 5s. 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.
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. Start with Google to search for these.
