HT4993 How do I know if my Iphone has water damage?

I dropped my iphone in the toilet tonight but it seems to be fine do I just keep using it?

If it were my iPhone, I'd leave it in the rice for a few days. If it fails anyway, at least you would know you took all reasonable precautions to dry it out.
It's probably OK but ask yourself how you'd feel if it were to stop working right now - you'd wish you dried it out a bit longer, right?

    Hey Cherielly,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Since you are having an issue with syncing to a different apple id. You may want to make sure you are signing in with the correct apple id.

    If you have a 4S and AppleCare+, it reduces your cost for a replacement to $49. Otherwise, no.

  • HT3302 my iphone has water damage what will it cost me to repair it?

    I have had a terrible week with sick babies and twisted ankels and to top it off my iphone was knocked off the couch into a cup of water:-( I know it has water damage and am just wondering what it will cost me to have it fixed or replaced?

    I'm presuming you do not have AppleCare+, which provides accidental damage coverage, on the iPhone. Apple does not repair iPhones, but will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
    There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to do a repair for less. Do a web search for "iPhone repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPhone serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further warranty will be void.<
    Regards.

  • My iphone has water damage and it couldnt take anymore and turned off and wont turn back on. What do i do?

    My iphone 4 has water damage and it has taken its toll and turned itself off and wont turn back on. I have tried everything, restoring, charging, restoring through itunes and taking it in for repair at an independant retailer. I really need my iphone so i was wondering where the best place to repair it is and if i can take it to apple, how much it would cost?

    There is no such thing as an Apple authorized repair facility or technician.  Since Apple replaces iOS devices and does not repair them in-house, they've never offered any iOS device repair training or certification.  Likewise, there is no system of distribution of OEM parts, since there are no authorized repair centers to use them.  Any parts are used, 3rd party recycled or outright stolen/black market.
    So, anywhere you take it other than Apple is a situation of you pay your money and you take your chances (and you have no one to turn to if it fails, other then the person or place that failed to fix it for you).
    Your optimal option would be to take it to Apple, pay the out of warranty repair fee and swap it for a fully factory refurbished unit (which will have a new screen, new battery and a min. 90 day warranty).
    However, if it has been taken apart by someone else already for past private repair attempts, then Apple will not allow an out of warranty replacement.
    The out of warranty replacement fees are available for each country under the iPhone support links, e.g. in the USA - http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipho ne

  • My iPhone has water damage

    My phone has water damage how do I go about fixing it

    As soon as a phone is exposed to water-it needs to be turned off. It should be placed in a bag of rice or kitty litter for a week to ten days.
    If it does not power on after that or shows signs of damage-it has to be written off. The water has caused damage, shorting out components.

  • My iphone has water damage . what can i do ?

    my iphone 5s has water damage from a pool and my phone is connected with tmobile i would ike to kno what would be my best option because i dont have any money to replace my phone

    There is only one trick people sometimes succeed with, place the iPhone in a zip-lock bag with uncooked rice and close the bag and let it sit for at least a week to ten days.  If it starts up, fine...but after immersion in a pool it is not likely to do so.
    Out of warranty replacement of an iPhone 5s is $269 in the US.

  • How do I know if my iphone has successfully been backed up to my iTunes? I plugged it in and it said it backed up and I did a sync, but when I am looking through the summary page and I am not sure that all of my data got backed up. Please help!!

    I have never backed up my iphone to my itunes because I always used the cloud. However, a few months ago, my wifi disk in my phone burned out so the Apple Store told me to back up everything to my itunes. I am going today to get the iphone 6 so I connected my phone (iphone 4S) to my itunes and I backed up and synced. However, when I look throughout the summary page and click in different areas (Photos, Movies), I don't see any of my data -- it is still asking me to Sync from iPhoto or to sync from another location. By backing up & syncing my phone, did all of my data get saved? Or do I still need to do more steps?
    Sorry for the long winded question, I am just so nervous to get a new phone and plug it in to be restored and not have any of my pictures, videos or contacts, etc. Any help would be so so appreciated!

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
    Sync Contacts:
    Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
    Sync Calendars:

  • How can I get a refund for a storage upgrade? I've purchased the storage upgrade earlier today but realized it doesn't add icloud storage space.  I want to know how to get a refund without calling apple because my iPhone has water damage.

    Because of the water damage, my iPhone doesn't work.

    You can try this - don't know if it will work, but it's worth a shot:

  • How do I know when my iPhone has successfully been unlocked

    been waiting 2 weeks for my iPhone to unlock, I was told it appears in iTunes that it has.. Can anyone tell me where it tells me when it has?

    Possible activation error causes:
    1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
    2. Your phone is jailbroken.
    3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
    4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
    For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
    For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.
    Note that if the iPhone was jailbroken to unlock it prior to "legal" unlocking the unlock will fail. There is no solution in this situation.

  • My Iphone has water damage and will not hold a charge.

    About 5 weeks ago, I got my iPhone 4s wet. It was not completely submerged in water and had a phone cover on it at the time. I put it in a bag of rice for about 3 weeks and it is now fully functional. The buttons, sound, camera, touch screen, etc... it works the way it did before. The only way the phone will turn on is if I connect it to the charger, but it will only stay on for a few mins before a red line appears across the screen and fades out then will power itself up again. If i leave it connected to the charger it will keep doing this over and over again. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or have it repaired?

    I would not have it repaired.  I would take it to Apple and get an out-of-warranty replacement.  I believe it's $199 for the 4S.
