HT201406 Lost my iPhone in the toilet, touchscreen doesn't respond. What to do?
So i managed to drop my iPhone in the toilet..
Worked for a few moments, but then the touchscreen stopped responding, which lead to not being able to turn it off. The power button was half jammed from earlier that week, and in the desperation of flickin and clickin it got stuck. It later turned off due to empty battery.
It was a stessful day, and i only had time to put it in my pocket rolled inside some tissues and hope for the best.
Before bedtime i put it in a drying room. It was there till around 9am next morning. I had to turn it on (via charging it) because my train ticket was only available on the phones app. The phone turned on normally and wasnt icy cold or too hot, the push notifications popped up on the screen and the screen was lit up as it should. The only problem was (and still is) that the screen isn't responding to any touch. Siri is working and can do some tasks, but as you'll understand i need the screen aswell.
This occured 2 days ago, and the screen isn't functioning yet. The phone is dry like a desert, and everything else is as it should.
Any suggestions?
Probably Your Touch screen input is damaged. Visit nearest apple service centre and replace it.

I lost my iphone in the water I bought a new one 4S now I have 2 back ups in Icloud, the one for the new Iphne and the old Iphone where I have the most info I need. How I can download my old backup?
Welcome to the Apple community.
You cannot download a backup from iCloud, the only way to access it is to restore to the backup with your new phone, which you should have done when you first connected it. If you restore now, you will lose all the new information you have added to your new phone. -

Try the rice trick:

But I'm afraid you'll have to get it serviced:

I dropped my iPhone in the toilet?
So, I was in my bathroom just about to get in the shower while listening to music, being the clumsy person I am, I ended up dropping my iPhone in the toilet. I quickly gathered the iPhone, and placed it in rice. I waited 3 days, and if I plug it into my laptop, it turns on for about 10 seconds (only logo appears) then it shuts off. I was wondering if I visited the Apple Store, would they replace this? I have an iPhone 4.
Btw, I don't have a warranty.It was $99 with a contract heavily subsidised by the carrier.
Retail price for a new one without the carrier subsidy is $450. -
I dropped my iphone in the toilet what do i do??!!
help i droped my iphone in the toilet i dried it of sucked all the waer out and now its in a bag of rice help!!!!
Keep it in the bag of rice for 5 to 7 days and then see if it will power on. It may or may not be working. If not, you can get an out of warranty replacement if that is the case.

i have lost my iphone 5 the day before yesterday,and have tried many ways to find it, but in vain. i wandered if there are some useful solutions to such kinds of issues, because lots of people have similar terrible experiences. in china many people have lost ihones, which means you also expose all of your information you have saved in iphones. this is dangerous,because criminals can take advantage of those information. i think apple should talke more measures to stop the thieves from using apples so easily.
cuz me too same case I have also I lost all my photos 800pics

Can someone verify the following regarding Find My Phone:
I assume the lost device (iPhone) and the device (ipad) one uses to find the lost item must have identical Apple IDs , PWs as well as identical iCloud identification?Back now. Are you saying that you entered you iCloud ID and password in the Find My iPhone app (see photo below), and it said you don't have an iCloud account? Are you sure this is the ID for your iCloud account (check Settings>iCloud next to Account at the top on the device you are trying to track)?
Also, did you try using this ID and password on icloud.com on your computer to try to track it, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442? Did that work? -
My iphone 6's touchscreen sometimes not responding what can i do?
my iphone 6's touchscreen sometimes not responding what can i do?
User troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If after a restore as new, you are still experiencing a problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store or authorized Apple Service Provider to have the hardware checked depending on your location.

I can't open apps on my iPhone. The touch screen doesn't work. I have restored it already but it still won't work. What can I do.
If the touch screen is not having any response then you probably have a hardware failure. Take your phone to an Apple Store or authorised service provider to have it checked.

I got my iPhone 5 almost a month ago and updated its iOS but from there on I started having problems, the ph sometimes doesn't respond at all to the touch or apps start to open on their own very rapidly and this continues till it can go no further!
First steps in troubleshooting:
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Then reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss) -

Ipad2 touchscreen doesn't respond
Hello everybody,
I've had my new ipad2 for just one week. Now the touchscreen doesn't respond at all, even after pressing the home button and start button for 7 seconds and restarting again. Can anybody help me?I've had my N97 less than a month - everything was fine (even though it was a bit laggy) until Sunday when the touchscreen just stopped working. Tried rebooting, taking the battery & the sim out (& leaving them out), updated the firmware, did a hard reset, and . . . nothing worked.
Today after work I took off the clear crystal protective cover I put on on Friday & - hey presto! Touchscreen is back! I guess the cover was interfering with the proximity sensor (although why it worked for two full days & then suddenly stopped is anyone's guess).
Don't know if this helps anyone but I thought I'd share it anyway . . . (by the way, I've put the cover back on & it seems to be working fine)
