I dropped my iphone in the toilet. it doesnt work, doesnt charge,doesnt reset or connect to itunes. aside from crying, what can i do?

i dont want to go to the apple store because i'm lazy. so any help?

There's nothing really to do. If it is that unresponsive, it is almost assuredly fried beyond recovery. All you can do is...go to an Apple store (sorry, there's nothing anyone can do about the lazy thing)... pay the $199 (in the USA at least) out of warranty replacement fee and get another one.

I dropped my iPhone in the toilet?

So, I was in my bathroom just about to get in the shower while listening to music, being the clumsy person I am, I ended up dropping my iPhone in the toilet. I quickly gathered the iPhone, and placed it in rice. I waited 3 days, and if I plug it into my laptop, it turns on for about 10 seconds (only logo appears) then it shuts off. I was wondering if I visited the Apple Store, would they replace this? I have an iPhone 4.
Btw, I don't have a warranty.

It was $99 with a contract heavily subsidised by the carrier.
Retail price for a new one without the carrier subsidy is $450.

I dropped my iPhone in the toilet. I pulled it out right away, dried it with the hair dryer, and put it in a plastic bag with rice. Is there anything else I should do?

Once in water you will always have issues. I would replace it. Your homeowners insurance may cover it.

I dropped my iphone in the toilet what do i do??!!

help i droped my iphone in the toilet i dried it of sucked all the waer out and now its in a bag of rice help!!!!

Keep it in the bag of rice for 5 to 7 days and then see if it will power on. It may or may not be working. If not, you can get an out of warranty replacement if that is the case.

I dropped my iPhone down the toilet! 4s

I dropped my phone down the toilet after a night out!
In the morning after, I found my phone on the floor where it had been drying out over night.
Since this it has been in a bag of rice for 32 hours but still no sign of life.
The top one button had already broken so to switch the phone on it needed to be put on charge or plugged into the computer but both these things haven't sprung the phone into life!
I have heard a red mark should be seen in the charger point to state water damage but I can't see this.
Does this mean there is hope for it to start working again?
And is there anyway to get my information, picture, ect of the phone if it is completely broken?

Your data from the device may have been automatically backed up to icloud. If after 72 hours in the rice the device still does not respond - I'm hoping you have backed up your data to icloud.
Good luck.

I have dropped my iphone in the toilet

I have dropped my iphone 4s in the toilet and was not able to turn it off i was not able to get home for about an hour to put it in the rice. i finally did and now the light on the back is on but the rest of the phone will not turn on it is still currently sitting in rice but i am really worried because all the other incidents i have read say that the phone has to be turned off but i didnt do it (didnt know i had to ) , so does this mean that my iphone will now not work at all ? is it time for me eo say goodbye ?

Bid your iPhone the Big Adios, make an appointment with an Apple Genius, and purchase a replacement refurbished handset.

Dropped my iphone in the toilet.

It was in there for a second, but it turned itself off. But there is still a little red light on at the top of the screen. I've vaccummed it to draw out any excess water and put it in rice in a warm place. Is there any hope for me?!

I would use Silica Gel packets... not rice if possible as rice grains have that fine white powder that will get all in the phone... wrap it well in something else then put it in rice if you can't get Silica Gel to use... let it dry in there for a while... the longer the better chance of recovery... as stated don't plug in or try to turn on during the dry period...
if all else fails and it won't work again, then your only option is to get a new phone... Apple does have a water damage out of warranty program to replace the damaged phone...

Drop my iphone in the toilet and now is in recovery mode, if i restore will i lose my pictures?

i need help

Don't turn a water soaked electronic device on. Pack it immediately in rice and wait until it is completely dry. Even if it works initially components may corrode and eventually fail. There are "Bags" you can buy to restore a water soaked cell phone (one time bags, or multi-use bags). If you don't have one of these bags, then rice is the best thing I know of. Obviously if you can get the phone to your service provider or an Apple Store that would be your best solution.

I dropped my phone in the toilet, everything still works, including WiFi, except...

I cannot make or recieve calls or texts. A screen popped up saying I had to restore my iPhone at apple.com/support. But, I can't figure out how to do this. The top bar on my phone just says "Searching..." Like I said, everything else still works fine (it's taking a much longer to charge up than usual, but, hey, I dropped the thing in the toilet.) I have kept it in dry rice for about 6 hours hoping maybe that would help.

Most likely, your immediate use of it after being wet has caused irreparable damage. Turn it off and put it in a bag of rice for 5-7 days. It might work after that.

I just dropped my iphone and the power botton stopped working and the screen went black i allready tried to connect it to the computer and nothing what can i do

my iphone fell on the floor and the power botton wont work and also the screen went black i already tried to reset it throun itunes but the phone did not connect and i dont know what to do

You can take it to Apple and get replaced as long as you pay for the replacement.

HT4623 Over the last few days, I cannot update my apps or connect to iTunes using my iPad. Can anyone help with this?

Over the last few days, I cannot load the updates for my iPs apps or download any books via iTunes as it will not allow me to connect to the iTunes store.

Hi susieq2014,
When troubleshooting iTunes Store connection issues, the following articles provide the best information:
First, try signing out of your account in Settings > iTunes & App Store. Once signed out, go ahead and sign back in.
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
If the above did not resolve your issue, refer to the following:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
- Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
- Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
- Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
- Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guidefor your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
- Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
- Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
- If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

I dropped my iphone in the toilet and follwed the instructions to put it in a bag of rice and wait it out. but this morning it came back on because of an alarm after only about 10 hours. How screwed am I that it won't com back on?

They said it could short ciruit if I turned it on too soon. How bad will it be?

Bad

The rice trick needs several days if it now will not work
