I dropped my iphone 5 in the water, its dead and when I try to charge it the apple logo comes and goes, thats my only sign of life, I've done many after market repairs but what I want to know is if I should replace the ligntning port or the battery... or just buy a galaxy s5?
If you dropped it in water, and then plugged it in, you may very well have destroyed the battery and/or the logic board. Charging/plugging in to a power source is very damaging to wet electronic devices. There is not much you can do but replace the entire iPhone...and since you did repairs yourself Apple will not do an out-of-warranty replacement.
You can try replacing the battery, the lightning port is another issue, but I would not expect that iPhone to work again.

Any Help would be Appreciated !
Charge it over-night and try a reset the next morning.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

I have an IPod 2nd generation I bought from a pawn shop. It worked for a day but now when I try to charge it, it keeps switching back and forth from the large full screen icon of a low battery and a lighting bolt below to the blue screen with the apple symbol in the middle. I had it on charge all night but still dead.

what do I do when my macbook pro just shuts down and when I plug my charger in, it faintly blinks green and yellow and doesnt charge?
Hi aaliyafrommarkham,
In order to troubleshoot this, I would recommend that you start with an SMC reset. Information on this procedure can be found here:

I forgot the answers for the security questions and when I try to change them (My Apple ID -> Manage your account -> Password and Security) I'm asked to answer the exact questions I'm trying to change because I don't remember the answers. How can I do it?
Can't you try the email option instead?

my ipod won't turn on, when a try to charge and turn on, have a symbol of battery empty. so what can I do?

iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I can't boot my IMac. I loaded OSX and first mail then contacts start acting up.
I shut down and now the iMac won't boot. When I press the power botton it comes on, I see Apple logo, swirl and a bar which saw loading for a few seconds and then shuts it self off.
HELP!Try an SMC reset first, and if that doesn't help, follow up with a PRAM reset:

If you're still having problems try a 'Safe Boot' - restart holding down the shift key until you see a grey progress bar. Once booted restart as normal from the Apple menu.
If that doesn't work, boot into the Recovery HD, launch Disky Utility and check the Macintosh HD using the 'repair disk' option. If anything gets fixed click on repair disk again until you get a clean pass, then restart as normal from the Apple menu.
To start into the Recovery HD restart holding down Command + r

I have an iphone 4s that used to be jailbroken but I want to restore it (cause I want to update ios). It was stuck on a recovery loop but it died eventually. I plugged it up and waited 30 minutes but when I came back it was still black and wont turn on. I plugged it to my computer and it told me it is stuck in recovery mode and the only way to fix it is to restore it. So when it was only aproximently 95% done it said that the disk had a problem. When I try to restore it again it says the same message. What do I do!!!?
What disk had a problem, and what was the exact verbiage of the error? For a phone that has been jailbroken, it is very difficult to remove the jailbreak, so it may not work. Also, the discussion of jailbroken devices is not allowed here on the forum. You'll need the exact error to get help.

Please answer my question asap!! And when I fixed it the guy said there was nothing broken on the inside (didn't fix it at apple btw)
Take it back to whoever "fixed" it, or buy a new phone. Apple won't touch it now.
