Hello i dropped my ipod in the toilet (clean water). Once i took it out of the toilet i pressed the home button and within a second it shut off! :( I quickly dried it with a towel and accidently pressed the top button! D: and put it immediatly into a bag of rice. 3-4 hours passes and i tried to turn it on nothing happened. I honestly tjougjt it would be dry...stupidly! and now its on the rice and has been in there for an hour since the last time i triwd turnong it on. Is there any hope that my ipod will be okay? and if not could it be repaired? How much is it to repair? One more question what will happen to my photos, is there a way i could atleast get my photos?!? Please please please help!!!!!! please!!!
Hey Posada143, You can still try the rice thing, but do not expect much, as roaminggnome has stated. The rice only works if you do it ASAP and leave the iPod off-- do not attempt use, turn on or charge until it is completely dried out. This is probably academic at this point but remember this for the next time: The drying can take 10 days. You put the uncooked rice and iPod in a sealed bag, change the rice every couple of days. This creates a low humidity environment and draws the moisture out of the iPod, but it takes time. Turn your iPod on to earlier, and you run the risk of shorting out, damaging the components inside. Even if done correctly it can spotty. If you do get the iPod to work (and this may require Resetting, Restoring or attempting to place it in DFU recover mode) the first thing you do is make backups, because you never know how long it will continue to work. As for your pictures, if you can't get your iPod to work, you can try data retrieval companies, however; there is no guaranty it will work and it tends to be very expensive. In the future get in the habit of as making backups, because you just don't know. And invest in and use a water tight case. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

I installed IOUSB family log release osx 10.5.6 on my mac osx 10.5.8. I am trying to log an rfid reader on the usb. Sadly on restart the usb is no longer working. Happily Windows is still running OK. Is there a way to get my usb back working? And is there a way to navigate in Windows to the file I installed and remove it? Any help appreciated.

Yes, it does. Right to where I am supposed to log in, but since the USB is not working (either mouse or keyboard), I'm stuck. I have to shut down and restart and boot into windows. -
my mac book is not working so i can no longer use my mac to back up my note in my phone and unfortunately i dont have outlook on my pc is there a way to get all my old notes from my 3gs to my 4s iphone?
Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, try this a few times if necessary. If still problem, you may have to just Restore your iPhone to get it working. In the future sync your iPhone with iTunes routinely and when it contains important data, iCloud when set correctly will do this for you continuously.

Is there a way of getting all my songs from my iPod to my itunes, not just the purchased ones?
Basically, our computer crashed not long ago, and since then we have had all the stuff from our old computer taken and put on the admin of a our new computer. However, my music files seem to have disappeared, including the ones that were in Windows Media Player that were also on my iPod (a nano). I connected my iPod to iTunes after downloading it from the Apple website, but only the songs I have purchased from iTunes Store have been transfered to the iTunes library. Is there a way I can retrieve all the other non-Apple files from my iPod to the iTunes library, thus making it safe to sync them both without fear of losing more songs?
Thank you!!We can't recommend a product, but we can point you to the direction of iLounge which they will know what currenty works to bring all your files off your iDevice back into iTunes.
I also have some recovery options and advice here:
Recovery options:
A: If Windows isn't booting:
You need to boot the computer from a "recovery disk or USB" that has a operating system on it and a graphical user interface to transfer files from your boot drive to a external drive.
I suggest using the Easy USB Installer to install Ubuntu 10.10 onto a 2-4 GB USB key.
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
or
burn a ISO of Ubuntu 10.10 or PartedMagic to a cd-r with ImgBurn or Win 7 right click and burn
You can use Disk Utility in OS X to select the ISO and burn to cd/dvd as well.
Once you have it installed, consult this page for your BIOS boot key to hold to get into the BIOS.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/biosaccess_pc.htm
Plug the USB into the back (if possible) of the computer, connect the external drive and enter the BIOS, set the USB (or CD) as first boot and SAVE.
Boot off the USB/CD and "Try Ubuntu/Run from disk" DON'T INSTALL. (Parted Magic loads into RAM and ejects CD)
Once in, go under the menu Places > Computer and transfer your files to the external drive just like you would in Windows, drag and drop.
(If using Parted Magic double click on the Mount Drive left icon twice, use the two GUI windows to transfer files to external drive, unmount drives, log out/quit in the lower left corner menu option)
B: If the computer hardware isn't working, but the drive might still work:
You'll have to remove the power cord and manually extract the hard drive. This might result in some damage.
There is a powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter for sale online for $20 that you can take that internal hard drive and use it like a external drive to access your files from another Windows machine.
C: If your iTunes content is deleted...
It might be recoverable if it hasn't been overwritten yet by fresh data. Undelete software works by reading the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, not what the OS says.
You need to use undelete software pre-installed before the iTunes content was deleted, or while on a bootable cd/USB and a external drive to transfer the recovered files.
You can also install undelete type software on a new machine and USE STEP B above to "undelete" the files and recover them directly to the new computer.
You can't install undelete software or recover files to the same drive your attempting to recover from or it overwrites the deleted data.
D: If the hard drive doesn't work and...
The data isn't worth spending $2000-$3000 in a ATTEMPT at platter dissection recovery, then your finished
If the data on the drive was encrypted, data recovery efforts may be futile, unless it's a encypted file and you transfer it successfuly and have the password to de-crypt it.
E: If you have a "iDevice" with any content
It can be synced back into iTunes, check at iLounge what third party software works reliably now and for your version.
Once you log into your iTunes account, you can sync ONLY iTunes purchased content back from a iDevice
Third party software can recover just about all the items on a iDevice, regardless of it's origin. (can't recommend such software here)
F: If any of the above is too hard, or the data is of "critical importance"
Then seek professional computer or forensic level recovery services.
Get help from someone who has done this sort of thing repeatly and can almost guaranty 100% results.
There is Linux software that can "rip" all data off a iOS device if that level of attention is needed, seek a professional service.
Hope this helps in your data recovery efforts.
Please, backup your data, it's the only thing us IT professionals can't recover. -
Is there a way to get all the lengends in individual lines
Hi,
This is the first time am using JFreechart. If we have multiple line grpahs then each will have individual grpahs and corresponding legends. These lengends depeneding on their string length are displayed one after other in same line or in the next line. Is there a way to force JFreeChart to draw each lengends in new line?
Please advice.
Thanks

Is there a way to get all of my old safari history back?
I have a iPod touch 4g and I have recently restored iPod touch and it deleted all of my safari history that had some important things on it . So I am wondering if there is a way to get the history back.
I sounds like you restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. In iTunes on yur computer go to iTunes Preferences. click on he Ddvices tab. If the date of the backup file indicate that it it has the history you can restore from that backup.

Is there a way to get all my Applestore swap receipts for my iPhone?
Hello I relly need all my receipts from my swaps at the Applestore. I have exchanged my Phone 3 times due to not functioning siytem and now my provider does not belive that it is still the iPhone I got for my contract. They say unless I can not prove that my original Phone has been swaped by an official Apple retailer they can not do anything so now I need all my receipts to prove that I just swaped it at the apple store.
Thanks for any help
VincYou will have to go to the Apple store where you did the exhanges, or call AppleCare. There is NO email support.

Is there a way to get all new tabs to open to the right of all extant tabs?
I just upgraded from to 3.6.10 and now when I open a tab by right-clicking on a link in a current tab, the new tab opens somewhere other than the far right end of all the tabs I have open.
I want all new tabs to open to the right of the tabs I already have open, just like they used to with the previous version of Firefox I was using.Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''
Double-click that preference to change the value to '''false'''
