Help... IPhone down the loo problem again

I dropped my iPhone down the loo yesterday which seems to happen to a lot of people.  I have read some of the other topics on here but I still have a question. It was down the loo for a mere second and I dried it off as best I could. It seemed to be fine and I even received a phone call on it and I was really relieved! I knew it needed charging as the battery was on red, but I have never left the battery to die I've always kept in on and charged. I had to pop out and took the phone with me, I received a phone call and a couple of texts and everything was fine. When I got back it started going funny. I didn't know if it was because it needed the charge though so plugged it in even though it had died. I then went to the forums and did all the rice stuff suggested and I haven't touched it since. It is currently residing in a bag of rice. But because I thought it was ok I had tried to turn it back on before putting it in rice and all I kept getting was a silver apple sign on a black screen and I have no idea what that means.  I know from reading discussions that I should have turned it off and left it but like I said I thought it was fine because it carried on working after the incident....... Please help! Any thoughts? The battery is probably dead but do I dare plug it in? And what about the silver apple? Any help gratefully received, I feel lost without it!! :)

You need to find an Apple authorized Service Center and have it checked out. Very likely that running it prior to completely drying it out fried something (other than the battery).

  • Every time I sync my iPhone with iPhoto I end up getting duplicate photos on my iPhone. The other problem is that I can not delete the dups on my iPhone.   Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

    Every time I sync my iPhone with iPhoto I end up getting duplicate photos on my iPhone. The other problem is that I can not delete the dups on my iPhone.   Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

    Mike whether I create a folder within the Pictures Folder that iTunes uses to sync photographs or just copy them into the main folder the result is the same, I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
    The User Manual for iOS5 states ...
    You can create, rename, and delete albums on iPhone to help you organize your photos and videos.
    Create a album: When viewing albums, tap Edit, then tap Add. Select photos to add to the new album, then tap Done. Note: Albums created on iPhone aren’t synced back to your computer.
    Rename an album Tap Edit, then select an album.
    Rearrange albums Tap Edit, then drag up or down.
    Delete an album Tap Edit, then tap the delete sign.
    Yes I can Add a new Album, but cannot delete an album already created. The delete sign does not appear.
    In iTunes the only folder that I can see listed is the man one into which iTunes stores pictures, which I have named iPhone Photos.
    When I look on my PC this iPhone Photos folder contains another folder named iPod Photo Cache and a multitude of folders created by iTunes, the named F00, F01,F02 etc etc. and a Photo Database file.
    Now whether I create a seperate folder within iPhone Photos to store my favourite photos in, or just copy them all into the iPhone Photos folder without being encased within another folder, or create a folder inside the iPod Photo Cache folder the result is the same ...
    I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
    I am going around in ever decreasing circles here and getting nowhere fast!! 

  • My Iphone Has a Restart Problem Again and Again wot To do?

    MY Iphone Has a restart problem again and again wot to do please tell me

    Basics from the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  If you go through ALL of those steps and you still have issues, you need to get your phone checked out by Apple.

  • The same problem again with HP Simple Pass fingerprint reader after upfrading from Firefox 4 to Firefox 5. I have already installed HPSimPlePass 7.0.74.0 to fix the problem after upgrading to Firefox 4.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 with a fingerprint reader. I had the same problem as many other people when upgrading to Firefox 4, : I couldn't use the HP Simple Pass to enter a website needing a username and password by just swiping my fingerprint. I fixed the problem by downloading the new HPSimPlePass 7.0.74.0. This fixed the problem and I was very happy. Since upgrading to Firefox 5 I have the same problem again, but I already have the new version of HP Simple Pass. How can this be fixed so that I can use this fingerprint scan feature again, or where can I download Firefox 4 again?

  • HI ,We would like to ask you to help us with the following problem

    We would like to ask you to help us with the following problem. As usual we tried to post unmatched received advance payment which is subject to output VAT via transaction SM35. Normally we post the payment to account 501020 (Advances Received from Operating Activities), we generate output VAT by clicking on u201CSimulate Taxu201D. Then we simulate the document and four lines are automatically generated (please see the attached scan of such document posted recently):

    19           501020 (Advances Received from Operating Activities)
    50           400000 (Output Tax (Sales Tax Payable))
    40           405033 (Customer Advances VAT)
    However when we tried to post it today it is not possible and an error message u201CTax clearing account 405033 may not have open item managementu201D appears u2013 please see the scanned printscreen. This did not happen in the past.

  • I have the same problem again, firefox not displaying yahoo main page properly

    I had this same problem about two months ago and someone on here told me what to do. Unfortunately I did not write it down so I don't remember. I've tried, tools-options - advance - general - unchecked use hardware acceleration when available...it did not work. Yahoo main page looks perfect on IE, on Firefox it's a mess. Someone please help.

    This is what you can do and it will work. I found the info I had used the last time I had the same problem.
    "Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache. Note: This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to. To clear cache and cookies do the following:"

    From the details list, check Cache and Cookies and uncheck everything else.
    Now click the Clear now button.

  • New iPhone, love the loo and features, but "crap" for some people...

    The mobile phone is a brilliant thing, as I have seen the demo movie... (Well it is unsubtitled, so I just ingore the man who is waffling about the phone, as I just watch the visual item focusing on the iPhone)
    It looks really good, eg, the movie, emai, sms, etc, but it becomes a "crap" item, as the Deaf people would like it to have the vibrate alert...
    So I dont know if it got vibrate options on this mobile phone???
    Also the mobile seems doesn't have the similar fast texting option on the iPhone, like the Nokia Mobile phone which it have the predicable text system, which I use it all the time... But on the iPhone there is a full qwerty keyboard...
    So I wondered if it have a option to let me to change the qwerty keyboard to the mobile phone handset keyboard, like number 3 for def and number 4 for ghi, umber 5 for jkl and so go on
    It looks really good and I would like to own one, but there is some disavantages as mentioned above for me...
    Is there anyone else who have the similar problem as myself?

    Really, I did not know that this iPhone have a vibrate alert, as it was not mentioned on the Apple website, Thanks for answering my question, THANKS!!!!
    Also thanks for telling me that the keyboard which it have the dictionary and automatically saves which it will memorize the words that I use the most often.
    thanks for answering my questions...
    So my mind have changed towards this iPhone... I might get one for myself...!
    thanks.

  • I dropped my iPhone down the toilet! 4s

    I dropped my phone down the toilet after a night out!
    In the morning after, I found my phone on the floor where it had been drying out over night.
    Since this it has been in a bag of rice for 32 hours but still no sign of life.
    The top one button had already broken so to switch the phone on it needed to be put on charge or plugged into the computer but both these things haven't sprung the phone into life!
    I have heard a red mark should be seen in the charger point to state water damage but I can't see this.
    Does this mean there is hope for it to start working again?
    And is there anyway to get my information, picture, ect of the phone if it is completely broken?

    Your data from the device may have been automatically backed up to icloud. If after 72 hours in the rice the device still does not respond - I'm hoping you have backed up your data to icloud.
    Good luck.

  • My baby just dropped my iPhone 4 down the loo it wont turn on can I grt my pics off it ?

  • Please help me resolve the many problems with my airport extreme

    Dear Community,
    My Apple Airport Extreme has never worked properly out of the box and I do not understand why. I must be doing something wrong. It is replacing a series of Linksys products which integrated with several Linux and Windows machines, and they worked flawlessly.
    Problem (1):
    Extreme crashes/reboots every now and then, especially when I try to send a lot of data from one machine to another. I assume that I am sending too much data then, and would like to know how I can slow down my data transmission so as to not hurt the Extreme.
    Problem (2):
    Airport Extreme when restarting either on its own or through the software refuses to let previously connected clients reconnect. The problem is probably because of of Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Linux. This causes major networking issues as each individual machine must have its network layer restarted or be rebooted. So I would like to know what I can do to work around these problems in the operating systems.
    Problem (3):
    Airport Utility after a spontaneous dropping of all connections by the Extreme is unable to find "any base stations within range" (it is connected to the base station by Ethernet). Base station and computer were both power cycled, problem remains. Perhaps my ethernet cable is too long and this has made the base station "out of range?"
    Problem (4):
    Apple claimed that I would be able to use a USB 2.0 disk on the Extreme to do backups. When I plug in the USB disk as advertised, the transfer rate is 12% of its transfer rate when plugged into any other hardware. Please let me know which configuration options I need to set on the disk in order to obtain full data transfer rates that will allow me to back up several networked machines in a reasonable timeframe (i.e. less than 3 days).
    Problem (5):
    Please describe to me how to connect to the router with a web browser. Every other router I have worked with allows me to connect with a web browser, and since the Apple software refuses to connect to the base station I am no longer able to configure it as I do not own a shorter ethernet cable that will bring the base station within range of the computer. Since the apple software does not take any obvious arguments that allow me to specify the IP address of the base station, my only conclusion is that I am supposed to use a web browser which will take an IP address to connect. However, when I do this, I get a "page load error." I am confused, because I was told this is an extreme unit, so I thought it had at least industry standard features, therefore I must be the one doing something wrong.
    Your assistance is much appreciated.

    Problems 1 through 4 are the topic of many (often long) past discussions in this forum. Though I hate to say it, I have yet to see anything that comes close to a "solution" for the problems you describe. Sometimes, Problem #3 results from radio interference which might be alleviated by changing the default channel the base station transmits on.
    Unlike every non-Apple router on the market, Apple's Airport Base Station must be configured using Apple's own "Airport Utility" software application. It is not possible to configure an Airport Base Station using a web browser.
    Regrettably, in your case it sounds like you would be better off continuing to use your previous Linksys wireless router.

  • Plz help me with the font problem T_T

    Could you help me with this problem ?
    Here's my code :
    Font font = new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 12);
    Map fontAttributes = new HashMap();
    fontAttributes.put(TextAttribute.WEIGHT, TextAttribute.WEIGHT_ULTRABOLD);
    font = font.deriveFont(fontAttributes);I use this font in the graphics.drawString() method, but it seems like the text is drawn with PLAIN style, no effect of bold at all.
    If i change the WEIGHT_ULTRABOLD to WEIGHT_BOLD, it works, the text is drawn with BOLD style.
    I wonder what is wrong ? I really want the BOLD to be 'bolder', thicker ^.^
    Or is there any other approaches to this ?
    Helppp meeeee plzzzz

    I see the same thing.
    The API for TextAttribute describes WEIGHT_ULTRAWEIGHT as
    specifying "The heaviest predefined weight", but as you point out
    you get plain rather than bold.
    This bug (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4920831)
    describes the problem:
    "Fonts can be created using TextAttributes in a Map. Unlike the standard
    Font constructor, which just uses a boolean 'bold' bit in the style mask,
    the Map can provide a range of values for WEIGHT. In JDK 1.4.2 and 1.5,
    only the weight coresponding to WEIGHT_BOLD creates a bold font-- the
    rest are plain. At a minimum, all values for TextAttribute.WEIGHT that are
    greater than the value for WEIGHT_BOLD should also create a bold font.
    "Furthermore, different weights should (to a point) result in fonts that
    appear to be of different weights, even if there are no corresponding
    underlying fonts. Fonts of increasing weight should display with a
    corresponding increase in boldness.
    "Changes in weight should not necessarily cause a change in advance.
    Synthesized weight changes should impact advance minimally, if at all."
    The evaluation claims that "WEIGHT >= WEIGHT_BOLD will cause a
    Bold font", but I don't see it (compiled and ran basically your code
    with 1.5.0_04).

  • From yesterday, I have been facing the problems in my iphone and my wife iphone. The same problem, "cannot connect to itunes store". I have strong internet connection. I tried all the possible way I could like setting, general, date and time.....etc.

    I have proble of "cannot connect to itunes store. After I have updated the new software ios6, the problem arised in one of my mobile. In the second mobile, I didnot updated the software.Today in the morning, the problem ariesed in that mobile as well. I cannot open the itunes, don't have access to apple store . I tried to solve the problem like going to setting, general, Date and time, automatically off, keeping one year ahead date. I tried all the possible options I could get from the googel. How do I get rid of this problem?

    No - I have not tried other routers on my network.
    What I meant was I could use my itouch on other users wireless networks without any issues.
    I'll update the routers DNS to try  using Google's 8.8.8.8 instead of my ISP.
    Is the issue DNS performance using local ISP -or are there other possibel isues when using local isp DNS?

  • Help me solve the "ANSWER" problem.

    Hello, im new here, and im a new java student.
    i've written a program. however, the program asks the user a question, the user needs to answer either 1 or 2. i need the program to ask the question as long as the user doesnt enter 1 or 2. so if the user enters "2365" or "addasda" it will ask the question again.
    this is the main class:
    import java.util.Random;
    public class Game
         private String name;
         private String answer;
         private int numMarbles;
         private int marblesTaken;
         private int pcMarblesTaken;
         int exit;
         int exit2;
         public Game(String name)
              this.name = name;
         public String getName()
              return name;
         public boolean goodInput()
              //do
              //     if(exit==1)
              //          return true;
                   if(exit2 == 1 || exit2==2)
                        return true;
                        return false;
              //while(!goodInput());
    }This is the test class:
    import java.util.Random;
    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class GameTester
         public static void main (String [] args)
              Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
              int exit;
              do
                   System.out.print("what is your name: ");
                   String name = input.next();
                   Game howdy = new Game(name);          
                   int exit2;

                        System.out.println("Hello " + howdy.getName() + " Do you want to go first? (1)Yes, (2)No");
                        exit2 = input.nextInt();
                   while(howdy.goodInput());
                   System.out.println("You must enter either 1 for Yes or 2 for No");

                             while(numMarbles > 1)
                                  System.out.print("How many marbles you want to remove? ");
                                  int marblesTaken = input.nextInt();
                                  numMarbles = numMarbles - marblesTaken;
                                  System.out.println("the number of marbles left is " + numMarbles);

                                  System.out.println("It is now your turn");               
                        else
                             Random random = new Random();

                             System.out.println("the number of marbles is: " + numMarbles);
                             while(numMarbles > 1)
                                  int pcMarblesTaken = random.nextInt(numMarbles/2)+1;
                                  System.out.println("the computer has taken " + pcMarblesTaken + " marbles");

                                  numMarbles = numMarbles - marblesTaken;

                                  if (numMarbles==1)
                                       System.out.println(howdy.getName()+" You Win!!");
                                       break;
                                  System.out.println("It is now the computer's turn");
              System.out.print("Do you want to play again? (1)Yes, (2)No ");
              exit = input.nextInt();          
              while(exit==1);
              System.out.println("Thanks for playing with us!");               
    }     

    The question is.
    How do i make the program ask the question
    System.out.println("Hello " + howdy.getName() + " Do you want to go first? (1)Yes, (2)No");as long as the user enters the correct answer.
    so if they enter "adsdds" or "45" it will repeat the question again.
