I'm so screwed....What are my options?

My iPhone fell out of my pocket tonight and almost completely flushed down the toilet....I got it out and now it's buried inside a bowl of rice inside a ziploc baggie BUT....
There are no other phones available right now. It's only been a few hours but I feel sooo lost without it. Its my alarm clock, I listen to it to fall asleep at night, and actually...I'm on vacation and I'm now without my contacts or anything.
What are my options? I'm not a rule breaker so I don't want to get a unlocked one...too scared of "the man". LOL
Any other ideas out there?
WWYD?

Is there an AT&T store around? AT&T will sell you a new, standard, bottom of the barrel cell phone for $40.00 that you can return for a full refund within 30 days (plus, there's no activation fee). Apparently, AT&T has a plan in place for those that are without a cell phone b/c of repair issues. I'd just let them know that Apple is currently fixing your iPhone and that they're out of stock and could not give you a loaner iPhone while yours is being repaired. It's worth a shot. Plus, if you're a good customer (been with them for a while, always pay your bill on time, etc.), they should help you out... Hope this helps .

  • I have an old Imac G4 from 2003. I haven't used it in years, but I would like to start. What are my options for getting it up to date? Is it even worth the trouble/cost? I was hoping to at least get it running Snow leopard, if not Lion. Options?

    I have an old Imac G4 from 2003. I would like to start using it again, however it is so out of date and runs too slowly. What are my options to update it? I really don't want to invest a ton of money - I might as well get a new one, so if there are any reasonable ways to get it to run Snow Leopard or even Lion, please help. I've also considered using a mac mini? Is that worth it either? I'm not sure which way to go here. I don't want to trash it, I feel like it can be a great computer if updated.

    Presumably it is running tiger 10.4.11?
    It may be able to run Leopard 10.5:

    But that is as far as the old PPC Macs can go, and Leopard can cost up to $200 on Amazon.

  • What are the options if one iPad was stolen last week and Apple created a bug which the burglar can turn off "Find My Phone"?

    Last week, my gf was stolen and lost her iPad. I thought that everything was lost because "Find My Phone" didn't manage to track the iPad location so the police could do something.
    Today, I ended up reading this article (http://9to5mac.com/2014/04/03/ios-7-bug-allows-anyone-to-disable-find-my-iphone- and-bypass-activation-lock-without-a-password/) which tells me that the iOS 7.1 presents a bug where someone can deactivate the "Find My Phone" function without the password.
    What are the options here so I can rehave the stolen iPad, which Apple helped the burglar to keep it or even sell it?
    Appreciate your cooperation

    Apple didn't "help the burgler" do anything. Did she have a passcode on the device? If so, the thief would not have been able to access any of the functions needed to disable Find My Phone. Also, if the device doesn't show up in iCloud's Find My Phone, it may be that it is simply turned off, or not connected to a network.

  • What are some options, in case someone has stolen my device

    I need help, my iPod has been stolen, what are some options u recommend me to do, I have tried to located with "find my phone app" but it only tells me is offline, responds as soon as possible

    Not really much
    lost/stolen                                      
    No app is required.                                               
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If off-line/not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

    My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pocket and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed? It is pretty frustrating, it fell from about 3 feet out of my pocket and now looks like it was beaten by a hammer.

    That's where I would begin, too, with
    Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
    First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

  • I am running out of space on my imac.  what are my options?

    I have had my imac for a few years that came with 500 GB of hard drive space.  I am down to about 94 GB and I'm starting to get nervous that I won't have space pretty soon.  I also have a new 2 TB time machine and don't know if that will help me at all.  What are my options to get more space available to me?  The majority of my files are movies, pictures, and music. 

    you could move some things that you don't access on a regular basis to an external hard drvive.  You can also download omnidiscsweeper and see if it finds anything you don't need.  Read this too: http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html

  • I still have 1 year left on my contract, what are my options to upgrade?

    I have an iPhone 5S that I purchased last October. I still have 1 year left to go before I am out of the contract. I really want the new iPhone 6 Plus, mostly because of the bigger screen. What are my options? I read you can trade-in an iPhone 5S and get $300 credit or it will go towards the purchase of a new phone (iPhone 6 Plus) + 2 year contract. Is this possible? If not, what are my options for ditching this phone? Can you ditch the phone itself (and upgrade it) while still keeping the contract you are currently under? Maybe I can turn in my phone for the credit towards the new phone, and still be 1 year into the contract?
    Sorry I find all the upgrade info confusing

    In short the only option you have is trade in your 5s for the $300 gift card and the buy the 6+ for $749.99 if you're getting the 16GB model, you won't be able to get the discounted pricing for that phone unless you add a line to your account or you're eligible for an upgrade which as you have said you're not.

  • I'm looking to supercharge my G4. What are my options?

    Hi, I'm the proud owner of a Power Mac G4 FW800, the dual 1.42GHz one. I just had the power supply repaired, and it runs wonderfully, other than it's starting to show its age. I'd like to know what I can do to maximize performance.
    Here are my slight problems:
    - Slower than desired file transfers
    - Extremely slow video rendering
    - iWork '09 complains about Core Image not being supported
    - Minecraft 1.5.2 not exactly playable (~4 FPS, at least 15 FPS desired)
    I also have the full CS4 Design Premium suite, and I'd like to get better performance out of that.
    My budget is around $200, what are my options? Thanks!

    Here is a picture of my MDD with the ATA133 RAID0 PCI card and a SATA PCI card.  For a high performance striped RAID, you want each drive on it's own cable, hardware RAIDs will only stripe together a pair of Masters and/or a pair of Slaves.  The ATA133 RAID0 card is probably the fastest performance you can get in the MDD with compatibility going back to OS 9.  Not sure if there exists a similar hardware RAID SATA card for MDDs.  But even a single SATA PCI  drive does pretty fast as well.  The on-board built-in ATA66 and ATA100 IDE interfaces in the MDD are much slower than these PCI card options.
    See how the pATA ribbon cables have to route over the video card and heat sink, very cluttered.  The SATA cable is much easier to work with.  Here I have two drives in the front bay and just one in the rear bay.  There are two cooling fans stuck to the heat sink to blow into the fins, these nest within the drive bracket in the rear bay when closed.
    I am planning to migrate my data to the SATA drive and put another one in the front bay, and remove the striped RAID PCI card and drives, leaving the rear bay empty.

  • If my hard drive disappears and is no longer running what are my options?

    this is a last resort. Dropped the MBP. it wouldn't boot up. wouldn't boot in any mode, did the resets in order. safe mode failed to work as did all the disk util recommendation. It finally booted off the install DVD. Hard drive icon there. Did an archive and install. I did all the disk util prior to  archive and install. permissions and disk checked out ok.
    Attached a USB external. started backing things up manually. SU came up and i did the combo update to 10.5.8
    Restarted MBP and the drive died, not even getting to login screen, onlly endless spinning at startup screen identical to problem after dropping it. installed Leopard on external. tried to set startup disk from internal. icon not there as if drive did not exist.
    After HD crash, ran diskutil in verbose mode, device not present when i used the name,
    note: this is the second external drive. i did the combo update on the external and it also died. couldn't see the icon. booted into single user mode. device no found. Again, safe mode failed to work as did all the disk util recommendation.
    at this time, the external is leopard 10.5, no update, firefox running with adobe flash update.
    1. SU combo update, never again. use the one from the Apple website in all future updates.
    2. physical inspection of inside revealed no loose connections, broken cables or wires.
    3. dropped the MBP on the side of the optical drive which i had to repair and reinstall. works fine now. PRAM battery in good order.
    4. looked at every discussion from every forum on here with varying results, all dead ends.
    if the drive isn't spinning or responding, is it dead or frozen? is $99 for diskwarrior the next step? Will it even see the internal drive, since no other freeware or shareware recovery apps have been able to see the internal HD.
    what are my options? i had no backups made, i have no firewire cable or drive, i didn't know about time machine, i absolutely must have the drive restored, or the data.

    diskwarrior manual:
    To build a graph for the directory of a disk, all of the following must be true:
    1)The disk must appear on the desktop.
    2)The disk must be an HFS (Mac OS Standard) or HFS Plus disk (Mac OS Extended).
    3)The disk must be locally attached.
    4)There must not be any detected hardware problems with the disk.
    disk does not appear on HD. therefore i have to assume there is physical damage to internal drive, pull it
    install a new one and send the old one to data recovery.
    this here concludes today's discussion on "*** were you thinking when you didn't have a back up"
    also, investing in Firewire drives and cables is selling out to proprietary mandates that Apple thought up as one more way to tie up its users to Apple theology. reason one i have refused to put the money out for it.
    guess the man wins.

  • I need to upgrade my MacBook late 2008, what are my options

    I need to upgrade my MacBook late 2008, what are my options. I have already upgraded RAM to 4 GB some 4 years ago. Also replaced HDD to 1TB, but ended up with a slower response. I am looking to switch the HDD again to speed up the performance. Any suggestions?
    I am open to upgrade the hardware, what options do I have?
    Motherboard?
    HDD?
    Anyway I can increase RAM from 4 GM to higher?
    Appreciate tips...

    It was a mistake on my part, I tried reinstalling the RAM chips... I love the speed now...
