I dropped my iPhone 4S in the toilet. I dried it and shook out as much water as I could. I removed the SD card and put everything in a bowl of rice. It is still in there and everything appears to be working normally, but it won't shut off and the camera light stays on. I've tried the restart thing where you press and hold the pwr button and the home button. What should I do?

I have an ipod touch that continues to have a black screen with the white apple on it. It won't shut off and is completely frozen. This happened when we tried to restore it last night. Help please!!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 and now it keeps just shutting off and coming back on?
I updated my iphones 3gs to ios 5 and now it just randomly shuts off and on. whats wrong with it?
don't ask me why this worked, but it did for me last night. In iTunes, where your device shows up on the left side, I double clicked on it. It then allows you to change the name like you can for changing file/folder names. I changed 1 letter on the name of the ipod and hit enter. I then right clicked on the new ipod name and chose restore from backup. My choices for backup was the original name of the ipod only and not the name i had just changed it to. I told it to go ahead and backup from the old name figuring I would get the same results, but not the case. It restored it with all app, music and pictures with one exception...all of the settings, email setup and information within the apps was lost. Atleast that an easier fix than starting all over. Hope this will work for you guys too with the same issue.

TS1574 optic digital port can't be shut off and the sound of speakers not working! what to do?
optic digital port can't be shut off and the sound of speakers not working! what to do?
this happened after taking out the head-phones. Now even after pressing CMD+ALT+P+R when booting - the sound of booting appeares BUT after the desktop is ready the sound doesn't work and sound buttons show the sign "circle with crossed line"If there is a red light visible in the audio output port, the switch id stuck. Insert the earphone jack a few times. If that fails to trip the switch, try a toothpick or similar device and jiggle it inside the port. If that fails, try a shot or two of compressed air. If still no success, go to a repair facility.

My ipad is stuck inbetween on and off. The screen is black with the white apple in the middle of the screen. It won't turn off and won't come completely on. Anyone know what is wrong?
See if this lets the iPad start up.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
Imac shut off and the fan is really loud...
I have an iMac 27" i7, 16 gb ram. The screen randomly shut off and the fan became really loud. Tried turning it off and back on, but still did the same thing. Tried resetting the PRAM, heard the chimes, but then did the same thing. Is it overheated?

Check it. Install an app like iStat Pro to check the temperature, and post it here. There are different temperatures (CPU, hard drive, graphic...). If you want, just take a screenshot of the widget (holding Command, Shift and 4 keys, and selecting the widget) and upload it here, pressing the photo icon at the top of the reply box.
Apart, you should run an Apple Hardware Test extended test, to check if there's any problem with the iMac > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509 If, after running it, it shows an error, copy it here, because the Mac has got a hardware issue -
^Hi. yesterday, after trying to study on my iphone 4, i accidentally clicked okay on something that poped up while flipping through notecards. it told me that it was "updating", i had my phone updated to ios7 but not 7.0.2.. i tried to shut if off to see if it would stop the update, because i didnt want it to do that. after a few minutes i turned it back on and it was still updating. it then shut off and a screen poped up telling me to plug my phone into iturnes. itunes recognized my phone and said it was in recovery mode and i would have to restore it. i have tried to restore it three times and nothing has happened. it will go all the way through the restore process, say it is finished, and then nothing will happen. my phone will not stay in DFU mode, i have tried for 20 minutes to get it to. i have even uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. i dont know what to do and i have been without a phone for alomost 24 hours. how do i get my phone back to normal? can i fix it or could at&t replace it? or do i have to take it to an apple store? Please help me.
Has your phone been jailbroken in the past? If yes, this could be a reason for not being able to finish the restore process.
If not, did you try to restore it on a different computer?

Torch won't turn off and back camera won't work after dropping it in a pool. What can I do?
I put it in rice as soon as I got back, and left it for 36 hours as instructed by a website and friends. Ever since dropping it the torch hasn't turned off and the bac camera won't work.
Water and electronics do not mix well. Your device may not ever work properly again, and probably needs to be replaced. Unless you have the AppleCare Protection Plan Plus, then it will cost $199 USD to replace an iPhone 4S.
The rice trick works best if you leave it for at least 4-5 days, not 1.5 days. But even that is no guarantee. -
My boyfriend and I both have iphone4's and we both did the 7.3 update this morning. My phone is still working properly but his just shut off after he'd taken a call and now he can't get it to turn back on. Coincidence? He's not dropped it or gotten it wet and he literally had just hung up from talking to me when it stopped working.
Anyone else having issues? Thoughts?
Thanks!NO, but he can try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
