How to I fix a phone that fell into water?
My phone fell into water is there any hope of saving it?? Suggestions are also welcome.
You can try placing the phone in a ziplock bag filled with rice for two to three days. The rice absorbs the water. But if the water has damaged the iPhone then Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

How could i fix my ipod mini drop into water?
please help how could i fix my ipod mini dropped into the water.
There is no "true" fix for liquid damage. It has been suggested by many to put your device into dry rice for about 3-4 days without trying to do anything on it....do not even power it on. Once a device has liquid damage, it is just a matter of time before it has a failure.

You can try ifixit.com. But most likely all it's good for now is recycling. Don't put it in the trash.

How do I fix a phone that was dropped in water
I dropped my Iphone 4 in water i retrieved it in seconds and put it in rice. Is there any thing else I can do to dry it out and what is the chance that it will work?
Remove the battery from the device. This is critical, and do it as soon as possible, even if you are not going to follow this technique, this is your best chance for device survival.
Find a container slightly larger than the device that will hold liquid.
Remove battery covers and other compartments so you can be sure to get into all areas of the device.
Place the device in the container and fill with Isopropyl alcohol (80% or greater) completely submerging the device. Jiggle the container around a bit to make sure the alcohol gets in there well. You may need to weight your device to keep it submerged. I would suggest a 5 minute period of soaking, you can vary the time based on your results and optionally repeat this step if you are not successful.
Remove the device and put it somewhere to dry for a few hours. Q-tips and a hair dryer are helpful to speed up the process. BE ABSOLUTELY SURE THE DEVICE IS 100% DRY.
Reassemble your device and hopefully you are good to go.
NOTE: all you're doing with the alcohol is helping to get the phone dry. The alcohol mixed with the minute amounts of water in the phone will evaporate more quickly than the water would by itself. The point is to get the phone dry. You could also just skip the alcohol and disassemble as much of the phone as possible and use a hair dryer.
Moisture in itself will not damage electronics if they are powered off and there is no power supply connected. What you are hoping for is that during the brief period of time when the phone was still powered on with the battery connected and it was exposed to water/moisture that a short did not occur damaging the circuitry. There is a good chance this did not happen if you pulled out the battery quickly.

I can't trasfer music from my library in itunes to my iphone 3GS. A black ring with a line through it comes up when i try to move music onto my iphone from itunes. How can I fix this so that I can load my phone with music?
How are you trying to transfer it and what are your setting on iTunes. I'm not on a computer that has iTunes at the moment so I'm going from memory and similar issue. If iTunes is set to sync music then I don't think you can select and drag, if set to manual manage music then you can. Also make sure you are dragging to music on the iPhone.
Hope this helps -

When I disconnect my iphone 3gs(iOS) from computer, the device disappears from my itunes. This prevents me from doing a wireless sync. how do i fix it so that my device stays on itunes without having to plug it in all the time?
it worked the first few times i did it but the next day after i closed out of itunes once, the device only appears when i plug in my phone.Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings. Be sure to turn it off.
You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account. You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account. (have restrictions turned off) That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices. Then sign in using the new ID. -

how do i fix my iphone that does not do anythig
With the very limited information you have given, I would try a reset - hold the power button and the home button until you see the apple logo then release. Or, restore as a new device in iTunes. What does and does not your phone do?
