I have water damage, only issue is i can't swipe to open.

last night i dropped my phone in a tub of water. not the smartest thing i've ever done. i quickly put it into a bag of rice, it was still on and still funcionning. i was still getting notifications and texts, my sound still works when alarms play. There is damage to th escreen itself with water inside of it. I dont think my wifi is working for my phone though. It also says my earphones are still plugged in, which they aren't! Is it possible to get something inside replaced or do something that can fix my phone??

You should have immediately turned it off. By leaving it on, you probably fried the electronics inside. It's doubtful that anything can be done now. Take it to a Genius Bar (make an appointment first) to get an out of warranty replacement for around $269 (I believe) or maybe get your upgrade with your carrier.

When pressing Ctrl+f to find something in a page the Find box remains open until I close it, in ALL tabs I have in the firefox window. How can I make firefox open the Find box ONLY in the tab I am in?

Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows. 
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
Another possibility is to use:

Should I have water damage repaired?

So I went to the apple store to ask them something about my iphone, and the guy said it has water damage on the top sensor , but not the bottom. However, my phone works fine, and he even said the battery and everything seems to be running normally. My question is this... should I get it repaired? I found a website that fixes water damage for $40, but my phone is running fine, battery and all... so should I bother?

Why would you do anything?
If the "water damage" is not causing issues, leave it alone.
If you allow anyone other than Apple to open/repair/replace the device, you void any possible warranty.
Is it worth $40 to repair supposed water damage and lose any potential warranty you might have?

Water Damaged 2009 2.53 MBP- Can working HD be installed in an Indentical or Same gen MBP?

So my june 2009 2.53 macbook pro suffered a water spill and has not turned on in over a week. I accepted my loss but read that i could actually take out the hardrive and recover some lost data. HD works, as it's now an external in an enclosure. I haven't deleted or added anything to it. I just bought a 2.66 MBP (Same june 2009 gen) and i'm wondering if i could just install my old HD into the 2.66 without any problems? Anyone have any experience with this?

Don't bother doing that. Just use the external drive as a "clone", and use migration assistant to transfer anything important your "new" MBP, whatever the version. In fact, get a more modern one, if you can afford it. Remember, with water damage, you don't know if your HDD really was saved. It could be damaged, with failure imminent or just at the moment you need it.

Water Damaged Ipod and Dead Computer - Can I get my playslists back?

My Ipod was recently water damaged and I have not been able to switch it on since then, I tried the rice method with no success. I even opened it as I was past my warrantee to see if I could let it dry but nothing. I was planning on buying a new Ipod this month but in the meantime the motherboard of my computer died and I was told I'd be better off buying a new laptop.
The computer repair shop said they would be able to back up the contents of my computer but were unsure whether my playlists would still be there. Is there anyway I can get my playlists, music and most importantly song ratings off my backed up music on my external hard drive?
Please tell me there is a solution, I have spent years classifying over 60g of music
I'm not sure I can handle losing my laptop, my Ipod and my song ratings in less than a month....
Thanks!!!!

Tell the people who are backing up your computer to copy your entire iTunes Folder (NOT iTunes Music folder) to a different drive then copy that file to the new computer after installing iTunes.

Will a something show up on my screen if I have water damage?

My phone was face down in the snow, and it happened to be dead. It had been in the snow for about 40 min before I found it. Right now its charging, because it was dead and it is taking longer that usual. How long does it usually take for the phone to turn back on, and if there is what damage will there even be something on the screen?

All the documents you store in the Documents folder are not stored in iCloud. In order to upload them to iCloud, open Pages (or any iWork application) and drag the document to the iCloud window.
However, that will remove the document from the Documents folder. If you want to keep the document in both places, you need to make a copy of the document on a different folder on your Mac, so you will have the same file twice. Then, upload one of them to iCloud

Hi guys. Water damaged Iphone 3GS, works great, can charge on the wall plug and the usb cable on the PC, but neither the computer nor Itunes can detect it. Also I can pass and receive phone calls, but I can't hear anything. What are my options?

I did try DFU, restarts, try other computers, etc. But nothing. Should i buy a new battery?
P.S: I'm sorry for my english ^^

Obvously your phone does not "work great" . It is damaged. Your option is to buy a new phone or get an out of warranty exchange at an Apple store.

IPod Classic won't turn on due to water damage, is there somewhere I can take it to recover the music files on it since they're not saved on my computer?

Please help, will lose thousands of songs if I can't save music files or turn on iPod, it's an iPod Classic Video.

If I'm reading your post correctly, you mean your iPod is not waking up from sleep properly? If your iPod's controls aren't functioning correctly, a software restore on your iPod is the recommended course of action, though doing so will wipe the contents of the iPod and requires a resync to your library.
Could you elaborate further on what the exact problem is, when it happens, what you're doing as a result, etc? Does it still play music when it's asleep? Does it wake up when plugged in to your computer or dock? All of this information can help us pinpoint the problem and offer a better solution.

If I have a folder within a folder how can I keep both open at the same time?

I now have IOS 10.10.1 on my iMac and can no longer open a file within a file and have the main file remain open along with the inner file. I used to be able to do this in Lion.

Darpa,
I don't know if this is what your looking for but here you go.
To make it so that when you double click a folder it opens in a new window you have to turn off or hide the toolbar. To do so:
Open a Finder window > Select "View" from the menubar > select "Hide Toolbar"
Keyboard shortcut to do the same as above is ( Command ) ( Option ) ( T )
Now every folder you double click on will open in a new window.
It should remember that you elected to not have the Toolbar show and every time you open a new window it will be the same.
To change back Do the same except instead of "Hide Toolbar" it will say "Show Toolbar"
Hope that helps,
Weston

Iphone water damage without coming in contact with water or moisture

Hello, I am long time apple fan/user. I bought an iphone 3 months ago. I really love this phone. I took very good care of the phone carrying it around like a baby making sure nothing happened to it. I upgraded to 3.0 and then a day later I upgraded to the new version of facebook. The update was taking a long time to load so I decided to cut the phone off and restart it. Once I cut the phone off, it would only come on and show the apple logo and cut back off. I took the phone to my local apple store. The guy at the store took the phone in back and return saying, the phone had water damage and the only option I had was to purchase a new phone.
At no time have I dropped this phone in water, left in bathroom during a shower, carried in my pocket (I have case for belt), left in extreme temperatures, transport from cold/cool climate to hot, etc. How is it that I have water damage?
After posting this dilemma on FB, I received several responses saying they had the same diagnosis for their iphone. Is there something that can be done to better equip these phones for the elements? Can a plastic cover be design to cover the port for the charger and insides ( like other phones have that snap into port)? Please give feedback. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks,

Well I have a short story to tell. I had the exact problem with my 3G. I tried to download the latest 3.0 update and it did the Sync just fine but when it went to download the update the phone froze up and also locked up the computer. We tried to RESTORE the phone but all I ever got was a USB indicator and an iTunes logo on the screen. Finally I called Apple Support and they said to send in the phone or take it to an Apple Store to get it Restored. I choose to take it 40 miles to the Store and immediately they got out their little magnifier and looked in the ports and told me that the phone had been dropped in water---This phone has never been wet ! ---We asked for the manager and he had the same lame story that we had ruined the phone by getting it wet and the phone needed replaced but not under warranty as the warranty did not cover water damage. When I informed him that it was not water damaged and the problem occurred during a program update he basically called me a lier and said everybody tells them the same story. I asked the manager to at least try to reset the phone as I felt there was no water damage and he refused as he said it would ruin their computer. We called Apple support again and spent 2 hours on the phone as she had me remove and re-install iTunes and other settings to no avail and she told me to take the phone to an Apple store. A couple days later my girlfriend took the phone to an Apple store and sweet talked the Genius into RESTORING the phone without looking at the moisture indicators [both were pink] The phone restored perfectly and she was out the door in 15 minutes with a perfect working phone. We now are on record that we have an operational phone regardless of what color the moisture indicators are. This phone was a replacement for the original new one as it crapped out early after purchase and it probably had pink indicators when we got it. This is a great marketing scheme on Apples part to get current customers to purchase new phones and then use these same [faulty]phones for replacements for under warranty phones. This issue is rampid on the web it would behoove Apple to change their policy. At least they should install the indicators in a place that a sweat droplet will not trigger the indicators like other phones where they are in the battery compartment. I wasted way too much time on this issue and have placed an edict at my company not to purchase iphones anymore. i love the phone but do not have to live with Apples policy.

What are the sign to look for if you think the macbkpro has water damage???

I had a small amoung of water soak throught my case, were the water reached the corner of the top side were the back of the computer is when it is open and want to know what the signs of water damage are so that I can look for them, only about 3/2.5 inches was with water of this corner. Would I have probelems right away if it was water damage????help please

"only about 3/2.5 inches was with water of this corner.?
How much is that in plain speak?
Spill Cleaning
And, don't think that just because it was two teaspoons and not a glassful that there is a difference.
Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
Do
Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
Note what was spilled on your Mac.
Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
Don't
Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).
Do not put in a bag of rice in as much as rice will get into the ports and optical drive and do further damage.

How much does it cost to fix water damage to a brand new MacBook Pro?

I think I may have water damage to a very new MacBook Pro. After the incident, it was dried and taken directly to the computer store. The computer store is drying it more under special lamps for the next few days. They won't get to look at it for about six days so it will remain off until then. There is 2yr MacBook Care Warranty and the macbook is less than 2months old. If the sensor shows there is water damage- will the warranty be void? Will the 250 just spent for the warranty be lost? How much will it cost to fix damage if there is damage found? Thank you.

My understanding is that the Apple care for Mac is a 36 months care plan which covers internal manufactured service parts i.e. Failed logic board burst LCD screen or damaged battery .
Water/liquid damage falls under accidental damage so in this case your mac would not be covered.
Most Macs have a metal plate underneath the keyboard to stop water filtering through to the Logic board which are neck bracingly expensive to replace.
My advice would be to take your mac into an apple store so the technicians can identify what the liquid damage has effected from which they will be able to give you a quote as to how much its going to cost fix the issue or replace the part.

I have water damage, only issue is i can't swipe to open.
