HT4528 dropped my phone in snow for a less than 5 sec, and now stuck on headphone mode. Currently have it in a bag with rice... any other suggestions'

I dropped my phone in snow for a few sec, and now I am stuck in headphones mode. Has anyone had success getting this fixed?

Snow = water ... water is the best "bad" thing for an iPhone because it evaporates and leaves little or nothing behind.
Keep it in rice for about a week to be safe.
If you have AppleCarePlus (not just AppleCare) you can pay $50 to get a new one if the rice does not work. Else you will pay about 50% of the iPhone cost for an "out of warranty" replacement.

Apple TV is continuous loop after accepting to download and install of the latest version of software ( sept 21) has been for several hours I have unplugged and hoped for some sort of reset or at least the chance to start the download again! Any other suggestions?

Does anyone know what i should do? it actually burnt the tip og the charger and was smoking I have no idea how the phone is still working. I do not want to buy a new phone.

Hi Sean,
If it fried the charger, then there is something seriously wrong with it. You need to take it to an Apple Store to have it looked at, and be prepared to be told that you will need to get a new phone. If you can't charge it, it will be useless to you in a matter of days anyway. Also, do not even try to hook it up to your computer....you will probably cause serious damage to the computer and be even worse off than you are now.
Sorry about your troubles. But for your own safety, you need to have the phone looked at! Don't wait - if you wait until it has no more charge left, then no one will be able to recharge it to look at it....
Cheers,
GB

After taking a dip in my vest pocket in the washing machine for about 10 minutes, my nearly new 5S spent 5 days in rice and silica gel packets. It definitely dried out, but there is damage to either the battery or the circuit board because it turns on, and I continuously get a blue screen and it reboots every five minutes for a half hour, and then miraculously, it stays on and works perfectly. But I wound up having to fork over $700 for a new 6+. because I couldn't stand the rebooting any longer. I had no insurance, but I do now, Apple insurance, not carrier ins.

Help?

Then the bottom of the support document states that if you do not have access to the device (which unfortunately because of the screen issue you do not) to contact Apple Care. That is what you need to do.

Go to settings >> iTunes and app stores. Tap on the appleid and change it yours. If you had downloaded any apps using your friend's id then you will need his/her password to update those apps. But you should be able to download any new apps using your id once you've have the change in settings.

I bought a new Iphone 4s, gave the older to my wife , made a new account for her, erased all data and now when i sync them they interfere with the other. Eg: if i delete an app ou buy one it appears on her phone, what shoul I do?

Dropped phone and stuck on headphone mode

Ok I dropped my iPhone while listening to pandora but I didn't have my headphones in. When it fell my speakers got a little wet and now I can't hear anything because my iPhone is stuck on headphone mode. Can anybody help me get off that mode????

If no change after inserting and removing your earbuds or headphones several times in a row, your iPhone has hardware damage from the drop and from getting wet.

I have had my iphone for less than 24hours, and its still saying "no Service" do i need to activate anything before i can make a call?

IPad wifi connection drops - have tried evereything - any other suggestions

Hi all,
I'm experiencing the connectivity issue with my iPad whereby randomly it will stop transmitting data (ie cant go on the Internet). The Wifi symbol is till shown, but there is no data throughput whatsoever. To fix, I have to turn off the wifi on the iPad and turn it on again.
There doesn't seem to be any consistency to when this happens. It isn't related to coming out of sleep or the type of apps I am running. sometimes it will happen in quick succession, other times it won't happen for a few hours or maybe until the next day.
There are two iPhones, a Mac mini and and Vista laptop on the same network and none of them experience this problem. The router is a Sky broadband wireless router. It is set to WPA security.
I have tried:
- upgrading to firmware 3.2.2 and doing a restore
- resetting network settings on iPad
- restarting router
- changing channel of router (have tried 4 different channels so far)
- switching router from mixed (b/g) mode to just g
- forgetting network and reconnecting on iPad
- moving closer to router
- disabling auto-brightness
- setting brightness to maximum
- changing DNS on iPad
I have also tried most tips on this page with no joy:
http://appletoolbox.com/2010/04/special-report-fixing-ipad-wi-fi-issues/
It just seems like nothing is going to work, and I am considering returning this to Apple in the hope of either a replacement or a fix. This problem is really annoying and clearly and issue with the iPad as many other devices have no problems. Even if a replacement router may fix this, clearly the iPad is at fault here.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? If not, what do you think will happen if I take this back to Apple? Perhaps I can get a guarantee that they'll swap it with the next-gen iPad when it comes out?
Looking forward to your advice, thanks for reading.

I don't have any real words of help except to say I went through something similar with an iMac. It would drop and pick up the wireless signal repeatedly but often sat there unable to connect. That was solved by something weird, like turning off the "show on screen" option for the airport wireless signal. I don't think you can alter that setting on the iPad though. My point is, if this was a problem out of the box I could see it being the iPad and that maybe getting a replacement unit would work (my wife recently bought a cheap B&N reader that would not access the wireless network, replaced it and everything worked). But if this is a problem that developed over time or just started out of the blue, then maybe it is a corrupted file or something that could be fixed with reinstalling the system. I know when you sync an iPod and iPhone with iTunes you have the option of wiping everything and reinstalling, so I am assuming it's an option for the iPad too. If you haven't tried reinstalling, perhaps that can be a next step.
Good luck!

HT1483 My ipod needed repairing, so I backed up the data into restore file. My ipod was swapped for a totally new ipod and now I am having difficulty reloading the restored data that I saved. I keep getting the corrupt or not compatible MSG??? Any Ideas

My IPOD needed repairing, so I backed up my personal data into a restore file. In the end my ipod was exchanged for a brand new one and now I am having difficulty with restoring all of my data that I saved.
While trying to restore through iTunes I keep gettingthe corrupt or not compatible error message. Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this issue?
Much Appreciated for any help!

You can not restorea a backup made with a newer version of iOS to a phone with an older version of iOS.
1400 photos stored on the phone? Do you not EVER extract them? The camera roll is intended to be temporary storage. Like the SD card in a digital camera. You should be extracting them to your computer on a regular basis.
Contacts should be synced to a compatible contact manager or cloud service. If you were not doing any of these things, guard your backups with your life and make sure your computer is being backed up on a regular basis, because you won't be able to get them back until you get a new phone with at least the same version of iOS that your 4 had.
There are 3rd party applications that say they can extract this information from a backup file, but I don't have personal experience with them.

TS3899 I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name. Now I have double contacts for everyone

I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name. Now I have double contacts for everyone with an email address!!! how do I UNDO? it says all CONTACTS WILL BE DELETED...when I go to turn CONTACTS to OFF.

Any contacts synced with the Yahoo account will be deleted from the phone if you turn it off. They will still be out there in Yahoo land, so if you turn it off and it deletes something you didn't want to, just turn it back on again.
It's extremely unclear what you did when you say " I only created contacts and typed in emails that I had for those contacts.....so I am still not sure how to UNdo what I did without deleting anything"
Undo WHAT, exactly? You said "I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name."
Just turn it off.
