I accidentally split water on my 3gs and immediately starts playing up!.

I accidentally poured water on my Iphone and now I keep getting a dialogue box on the screen ever so often which keeps saying "this accessory is not made to work with the iphone". The funny thing is, I haven't attached any accessory to it, not even the charging dock. I can hardly construct a 1 min text message let alone watching a full length video before this message comes up. It was never like this until the water spill.
If anyone has ever experienced this problem or if you know of any solution to it, can you please kindly help? Thank you.

I have been reading around the web and watching youtube user videos, hoping to find a fix. Apparently there is a sensor under the headphone jack which turns red or pink as proof of water damage. Like some few lucky people mine hasn't turned red because I didn't exactly drop it inside water. It was just an accidental spill on the screen. According to what I have read, if the sensor is still white, then it will be replaced.
My warranty does not terminate until September 2010. But there might be another problem. My iphone is not jail broken, but was purchased factory unlocked. Will this cause any problem for me?
I am hoping to get all the pointers I can before visiting an apple retail store over here in the UK. The apple Genius might call my bluff if am not well prepared. I've only got one chance at this.
So please keep the suggestions coming. I have turned my phone off to prevent further damage/short circuit.
Thanks.

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

  • I-tunes keeps on starting spontaneously and music starts playing. How do I prevent this on my Imac.?

    I-tunes keeps on starting spontaneously and music starts playing. Can anyone help me to solve this ?

    I did restart. Didn't do a rest. Is the rest back to factory settings? Last time I did this, I lost a lot of data. I'm using the Apple headphones that came with my phone. Is there a way to reset without jeopardizing data saved?

  • I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did).

    I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did). But I'd like to use iCloud with iPad.

    Hi Pete. The repair of disk permissions can help resolve  any application crashing or misbehaving.
    As for Lion and the two camps, I think that is a reasonable observation. In my office we have about a dozen Mac's and about one third of those Mac's had problems after updating from 10.6 to 10.7. The main problem for these Mac's was a loss of wifi stability. But for the other two-thirds, Lion was a smooth transition.
    Personally, my Lion experience was fine. But I did get a new i7 MacBook Pro with Lion already installed and only had to migrate my user data from a 10.6.8 TM backup.
    So I think that is a key for Lion's operational success. A clean install of Lion on a new Mac would not cause too many operational issues. But an installation, or more correctly, an update to Lion from SL increased the chances of failure for some users - especially when old software & plugins resided on the Mac. And I would say that they were the people that you saw at the Apple store.
    As for the "latest release of Lion fixed my problems" statement, my experience with these and other forums is that people mostly only go there to complain about the problems they are having. If they are having no problems then they either keep it to themselves or they try to help the users who are experiencing trouble...

  • I split water on my macbook, and the water is in my screen now, will it come out by its self or do i need to take it in?

    I spilt water on my macbook, and the water got in to the screen. Will it ever come out on it's own or do i need to do something?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You should take your Mac to an Apple Store. It's dangerous because the water can affect to its battery or damage the whole MacBook

  • Music and videos start playing fine but randomly stop and the volume bar disappears

    I have an iPhone 4S and run 6.1.3.  I start to play music or videos (youtube, ESPN, Netflix, any) and they start to play fine but then randomly stop.  The volume bar disappears as well.  But then it reappears and I can play it again.  When I do so it plays about 30 seconds, sometimes less, and pauses again.  I have to repeat the process.  Any idea how to fix or what might be causing the problem?

    Try a reset:
    - hold both the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
    - the iPhone will turn off(keep holding) but as soon as you see the apple logo appear release both buttons
    Also make sure none of the LCI have been set off especially the one in the charging dock of the iPhone. Read the article below for help in checking this:

  • Automatically connects to sync and will start playing music all the time even when not using sync

    My iPhone 4S will automatically start playing music as soon as I start my vehicle with sync.you can't hear it but on the screen it shows its playing even when listening to the radio

    Try resetting it if you can: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.  If you can't, try to connect it to iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your sync settings and click Restore to restore it.  If that doesn't work you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
    You can check in iTune to see if you have a backup.  They are listed in iTunes>Preferences>Devices.  However, the backup may not bring your contacts back as contacts are only backed up as necessary to preserve the recent call and call favorites lists.

  • Tryed to sync and update Iphone 3GS and it started as New phone HELP!

    I tryed to sync and update my Iphone 3GS to my macbook computer. In doing so, I think I pressed start as a new phone and now I dont have a phone please help!

    Go to iTunes/Settings/Devices and see if there is still a backup from the time before you synced the phone.
    If yes, use it to restore from: Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software
    If you're running TimeMachine as well, restore the iTunes backup folder, located here:
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

  • I have rented a movie on atv and it starts playing for 5 minutes then has been loading for over 12 hours, changed from hd to sd my internet speed seems ok, but running out of time to watch it. Any suggestions?

    I have rented a movie from itunes on my atv last night about 8pm.  started watching shortly thereafter, it stopped and said loading...it is still loading, now almost out of time to watch.  I read some suggestions about changing hd to sd in settings, and I did.  I admit I am so ignorant about all of this, but if anyone can offer something else, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, vic365

    I also had terrible issues with 2 Wire Gateway and my mid-2010 MacBook Pro.  We changed to WPA2 and that seems to have fixed the problem.  The AT&T tech support person, Phillipines, was extremely helpful.  She went through network settings with me.  One interesting step was going into my DNS tab (Network Preferences and then Advanced Button) and replacing my entries with these:
    68.94.156.1
    68.94.157.1
    It's been several days and I've only seen a few random packet drops.  Still charging along at full signal strength.

  • Why does my iPod make a bloo-bloo-bloop noise and then start playing random tracks from the library  instead of the playlist?

    This happened once before and seemed to sort itself but I was teaching my class and it kept doing it in the middle of tracks in the playlist. Should I restore and then reload everything?

    That sound is either shake to shuffle or a "Your-music-is-corrupt-error".
    I believe Apple has a support article on this issue. It means the iPod has encountered an error with your files. You will need to restore your iPod. If the trouble is persistent, there might be a problem with a singular file you will need correct this issue. If the problem still exists take it to an Apple store

  • Duplicate texts, and multiple songs playing at once

    This has happened a couple of times now. If I need to restart my phone for any reason, my phone resends old texts. I am not sure if my phone is defective or if there is maybe a setting I can change?
    And now a new problem. I was trying to listen to music through bluetooth, in my car and it started playing 2 songs at the same time.

  • I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

    I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. It spent time underwater, saltwater. I let it dry for a week, turned it on, the apple symbol came on, then it died. I need to retrieve my photos off it. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

    You're talking about the logic board. The two most likely things to get toasted, with water damage, are the battery(it shorts out), & the logic board. The worst water damage would be salt water. I'm afraid your logic board is toast.

  • Accidentally split 2 events, now "source clip missing" in my project, HELP!

    Ok, so I've been working for weeks on a project, and I accidentally split an event into 2 events. Dumb I know, but I was trying to split a single clip. Anyway, it split the event and made 2 new events. I tried to "undo" but for some reason it didn't work. Now alot of the clips say "source clip missing". I looked in the trash and found my missing original event folder, but it's empty cos all the videos are still in the event, but under the 2 new events. I tried to put the folder back into imovie, I re-merged the 2 split events and renamed it the original name (after someone on a forum suggested this) and nothing works. I am freaking out! It is crazy cos all the video is still there (at least I think it is). Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!!!

    Thank You Sameer. It worked. Now I can close this issue.
    Regards,
