HELP PLEASE**Curve Fell In Toilet. Dried It Out & Worked Ok 1st Try But Won't On A Second Time.

Ok my curve fell into the toilet, i quickly grabbed it out nd took out batt ns sim. let it air dry for maybe 2 hours til i got home and was able to put it in uncooked rice. let it be for a day then put batt back in without SIM. it loaded up good nd seemed fine, so i decided to turn it off so i could put in my SIM. but when i put in the SIM then batt, no red LED light showed and phone wouldn't turn on? PLEASE HELP ME. IM DESPERATE! Should i let it dry out a few more days and try again? Has Anyone ever done that? Is my phone completely lost? or any way possibleto have it fixed?

Well, you did good up until the part of replacing the battery after only one night in the dry uncooked rice.
If it was immersed completely, you're going to need 3-5 days of drying if it is not already damaged too much from trying it after the first night.
Wet BlackBerrys are easily dried out. but patience is the key.
1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
4. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
*Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
*On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
*On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

    Hi.
    I had a similar problem myself. This is what helped me.
    I went to the App store app, scrolled to the bottom, logged out of the account, re logged in with my Apple ID.  Then went back to app updates. Once I put in my ID password all was fine.

  • Help, please.  My iMac sound has gone all stat·ick·y The Video won't play correctly or at all.  I have a Model Name:     iMac   Model Identifier:     iMac12,1   Processor Name:     Intel Core i5   Processor Speed:     2.7 GHz  I am running OSX 10.6.8

    So just to be clear on a few things:
    Should partitioning the hard drive not work is it undoable?
    Will this have any impact on doing a complete erase and reinstall and will that restore it back from the process?
    Is there a limited amount of space that makes this process ineffective?
    I have never had to do this sort of thing so I just want to be sure I don;t wind up in the dog house *)
    Thanks again

  • My ipad just won't let me enter my apple password on FaceTime or iMessage, it works fine on my iPhone, I have tried numerous things but nothing works, can anybody help please, will a bug fix sort this out when they finally make one

    My ipad just won't let me sign in with my apple password on FaceTime or iMessage since updating to ios7 it says check my network connection, even though my iPhone works fine with the same password, can anybody help please, I have tried numerous things but nothing  works.  Will I have to wait for a bug fix to sort this? I hear they are working on one a the minute, I hate ios7

    Try a Restart.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • I just purchased an ipod shuffle (4th gen.) and  I have been working trying to get it running for hours.  I have followed all manuals and tutorial help.  When I pull up my device manager, it shows an Ipod, but won't let me download the Usb driver.

    I just purchased and IPod Shuffle (4th gen.) and can't get it running.  I have gone through all of the help available.  It shows up in my device manager, but needs a USB driver.  It will find it online, but says an error has occurred and access is denied instead of installing.  I bought this for a last minute trip with teenagers and I have spent hours on this.  I am running Windows 7 and have tried disabling the firewall.
    Help, please.

  • Help please :( Curve 9300 track pad stopped working!

    Hello,
    I have a curve 9300 and the track pad has stopped working it lets me move around fine but when i click to open things nothing happends its just stopped working ive only had  the handset  around a month im wondering is there anyway to resolve the problem and get it working again or do i need to send it some where to get fixed?

    Hi and welcome to the forums Lotte !
    A couple of places for you to visit: Blackberry 101    Tips & Tricks
    Pull the battery out with the device ON. Wait about a minute and put the battery back in. Let the BB completely restart and see if that doesn't help. Clears out the memory and refreshes the BB; like rebooting your pc. 
    When you have anomalous behavior in your BB a battery pull often helps to clear it up too.
    Let us know ow it goes..Happy to have you here!

  • Help please! can't import CDs, Itunes stops working and shuts down:(

    Hi All, Itunes worked fine up until couple of days ago and now when I insert a CD to import it recognises the CD but when it starts importing, itunes stops working and shuts down immediately. What do I need to do? I read the discussions but couldn't find an answer, most questions were about burning a CD so your help will be highly appreciated...many thanks indeed

    Itunes worked fine up until couple of days ago and now when I insert a CD to import it recognises the CD but when it starts importing, itunes stops working and shuts down immediately.
    First we need to check your precise version number, elektra. In iTunes go "Help > About iTunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen.
    Do you see *iTunes 10.1.0.54* ? If so, we need to update you to version 10.1.0.56 . It probably wont appear for you in Apple Software Update if you already have a 10.1.0.54 already installed, so you'll need to download the installer from the Apple Website, as per the following document:
    [iTunes 10.1 for Windows: iTunes may stop working and need to quit while importing or syncing audio|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3591]

  • Help Please - How do I get Ovi Suite to work prope...

    After being warned NOT to download the Nokia software that came with my phone (ie Ovi Suite), I became desperate after a slight accident with said phone, rendered the screen virtually unreadable - so I thought I could use Ovi Suite to pull contacts and other required info off my 6710 and try to "upload" data to a loan phone and eventually to whatever new phone I end up with.
    Unfortunately, my advisors' advice seems to have been correct and I've had nothing but trouble for hours since downloading the latest version of Ovi from the Nokia website.
    It wont sync, or spends hours appearing to be trying without actually achieving anything.  I then tried to look for updates (thinking that may be the problem)... same deal... hours of cpu usage - but no results... I eventually, in all cases, have had to terminate the action and / or program to move on to other things that DO work (not within Ovi though!)....   I have since searched the Nokia site to find that there is no software update available for my phone and as far as I can see, I'm running most current version of Ovi (V 2.2.1.23).  
    Have I just wasted half a day and am I best off to just remove the software and cut my (time) losses or is there are reasonable fix or simple solution to the problem? 

    Connect the phone to PC using the USB Cable..(PC Suite Mode..)
    Open the OVI Suite..
    Give some time to get your phone recognised ..(An Icon with the Phone model should be visible in Bottom - Left window of OVI Suite..
    Goto Sync-->Sync Now and select the data you want to sync..
    You may also goto Tools-->Backup and select the data you want to back up..
    I am sorry if you have followed this already..

  • Some help please? Let's get Solaris 10 out there!

    I'm on eBay, I'm always on eBay, and the sheer amount of JAVA they spit out is amazing. Chokes the heck out of this Win2K OS.
    Anyone out there have better results with Solaris 10? I'm seriously considering putting a separate desktop together with Solaris - love it for my servers - but we may be able to get others into the act.
    Specifically I'm hoping others will give feedback as to how Solaris is dealing with eBay's code, especially if a few will be willing to post in the Technical forum on eBay's community forums.

    That was bizarre - I saw your post and wrote back..then mine dissapeared.
    In a nutshell, your automation and the regions in which it affects are always IN SYNC no matter what you do to the master bus and no matter how much 'in front' the playhead appears. Here is what I did to try to prove your case:
    1) Put a loop on a track - I used Classic Rock Beat #2
    2) Moused MUTES in front of every snare note. I zoomed in really good when I drew them in. On playback, there are no snare hits heard for the 4 bar loop.
    3) Inserted an Adlimiter with the lookahead set to 200ms on the master bus.
    4) Pressed play - the playhead was out of sync but the snare drums were still not heard. If the automation was read l earlier (due to the playhead state) then the snare hits would have been audible and the mutes would have been active at the wrong time.
    5) Repeated steps 3-4 an additional three times making the latency a whopping 800ms. NO snare hits audible.
    6) I even sent the loop track to a aux bus and put another adlimiter there with a 100ms lookahead. Again, no snares audible.
    7) No matter what or where (or how much!) I put the latency plugs, the automation of the track was dead on.
    Logic reads the audio (or midi or whatever) at the precise time it reads the automation. There are in sync. The entire audio stream is delayed compared to the playhead, that is true, but all audio/automation/etc are in sync.
    In your last post you said "ALL of your automation is out of time, as it is read when the playhead passes it, not by when the sound triggers"
    BOTH the audio and the automation is read when the playhead passes it. You just HEAR the audio later so it appears that the audio is being read at a different time (later). Try the scenario I wrote about and see if you don't have the same results.
    What am I missing?

  • Help please:    Newbie.   Just downloaded AE CC 2014.   How to use a camera while at the same time "previewing" a scene?

    When trying to preview a composition in 3d (like you see when people are doing tutorial videos), whenever I click on the preview  (whilst attempting to move the camera around in the scene to preview it), the preview stops  (due to clicking the mouse button).   
    In other words, I cannot play back a preview and manipulate the camera at the same time.   Again, in most tutorials I see online the "teacher" is manipulating the camera while also previewing the scene they are discussing.     I can't do this as every time I click the mouse to manipulate the camera, the preview stops due to the mouse click. 

    Hi Dave...
    I think I may be losing my mind....here it is 2am in the morning.   :  )     
    Your post made me double check what I was looking at, and I think I was wrong.    I was watching a Trapcode Particular video tutorial and perhaps all of the 3D particles in the scene gave me vertigo!    In any event, I think this case can be closed as quickly as it was opened. 
    Cheers

  • Guys, a little help please ???

    Guys, a little help please before i launch my new toys out of my pram   I've got the new apple TV, Ipad2, and IOS5 update. I'm trying to set up mirrorring , however, when i double click the home page and swipe, the only options it gives me are Ipad or Apple TV. The video shows that i should be able to simply click on mirrorring and whazam it appears on my TV... I can't get this option.... I've rebooted them (router, ipad 2 and Apple Tv) numerous times but still can't get it.......Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks

    Sounds as though the options you're getting are the standard Airplay output icons.
    Check current AppleTV software version in Settings>General>About
    Latest is 4.4.2 - there's a sticky at the top of the page about updating - if you're on 4.3 or lower just update from Settings.
    Maybe someone can confirm the video you mention is actually the correct way to invoke mirroring - link?
    (Yn anfodus heb iPad2 does dim syniad 'da fi os ydi'r Mirroring yn gweithio fel yn y fideo - oes linc i'r fideo, rhag ofn bod y fideo'n anghywir?)

  • HT1329 Hi All - My hard drive failed and I am trying to move all my music from my ipod to the new hard drive. I am operating on Win 7 64 bit. Can anyone help please?

    Hi All,
    My hard drive crashed and is no longer usable. I just installed a new drive however, I am not finding any way to export my recorded CD's from the Ipod touch to the new hard drive. Can anyone help please? I thought by enabling syc with Ipod woudl do it but to no avail.
    Thanks

    I used a 3rd party program called copytrans http://www.copytrans.net/ that is not free to move my library from my ipod to my itunes library when I had to start from scratch.  After that happened I started backing up my music that purchased from the itunes store to a dvd so I would always have it if things went south.  Now I always backup my purchased digital music to an optical disc just in case plus everythng else I have is on retail cd's so I can just rebuild my library from scratch again if I have to.  You should also regularly back up your itunes media folder to another disc so your entire library will be backed up just in case you should lose your program drive.
