Iphone 3GS won't hold a charge, won't leave the recovery screen and the screen itself is very dim. Is there an easy way to fix this?

I left my phone out in the rain and it got wet, the water got inside the phone and you could visibly see water in the screen. Inside the phone the hardware was a little wet but not soaking. None of the water dectors have been tripped. I have to leave my iphone plugged in otherwise it won't turn on. When it is turned on I can barely see anything other than the recovery screen. On top of that, when I try to restore iOS 6.1.2  I get "unknown error code (1611)." The battery is proberly dead right?

No one on this forum knows anything?

    Hello AlexCornejo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The screen you're seeing on your iPhone indicates it is in recovery mode.  Now since the device is not appearing in iTunes on your PC, first follow the steps in this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    After following those steps, you should be able to restore your iPhone.
    Take care,
    Alex H.

    I have a new iphone and cannot delete the backup from icloud.  It says that it is in use.  I have read some of the other threads and it only seems to be haphazard solutions. Is there a definite way to fix this? I am not able to change icloud accounts.

  • I have a new computer and want to sync my Iphone and Ipad2 to the new computer, is there an easy way to do this?

    I have a new computer and want to sync my Iphone and Ipad2 to the new computer (PC) instead of the old one, is there an easy way to do this?

    Extract from one of our senior participant.
    Syncing with new computer
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

  • I can't activate my iphone because my cousin's account was hacked. Is there any other way to fix this?

    my aunt got my cousin a new iphone, so she gave me my cousin's old iphone. I reset the the phone she gave me so i can set it up for my own use now. The problem is that i need the account of my cousin in order to activate the phone, the bad news is that her account was hacked. Is there any other way that i can activate this account and put it on my list of devices? So that if i want to reset it, i'll just use my account to activate it.
    P.S.
    i Do have a proof that this phone was given to me by my aunt and she is the one who bought it for my cousin.

    Your cousin needs to contact Apple and ask to speak to someone in account security to get the Apple ID back under his/her control.
    If your aunt has original proof of purchase for the phone, she can bring that, along with the phone, to an Apple store or call Apple and they may be able to assist.

  • Does anyone have Skype for iPhone 3gs OS 4.1? I just really wanna have tht app and the skype available on itunes doesnt work on my OS, and I dont wanna upgrade it either because I have read a lot of reviews saying OS 5 makes their iphone slower. :(

    Please..I would appreciate your help guys. Thanks!!

    In iTunes on your Computer, Download The Skype App normally.
    Then on your iPhone, go to the App Store App,  Under Updates->Purchased.
    Look for Skype there, and tap the Cloud icon to initiate the download. It will tell you its not compatible, but offer a compatible version for download.
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X

  • My IPhone 3GS suddenly shows no possibility to select wifi options, not turning on nor off like it doesn´t have a wifi dievice inside, how to fix this?

    Just suddenlly the phone started to show like no wifi device were on it, not possible to turn it on nor off and cannot select any options, also not connecting to 3G service even I have it.
    Do someone has face this or knows how to fix it?}

    If the repair shop was not apple certified repair shop then Apple will not replace/ or touch that device with a ten foot pole sadly. I'd follow Rudegar's advise and try anthoer repair shop as sadly it sounds like you got jipped by the original owner. Always verify your infomation through the company before you hand over the money!

  • My ipad 2 won't hold a charge after installing ios 7

    I use the authentic Apple charger and my ipad 2 won't hold a charge after installing ios 7. What is the fix for this miserable wasteful upgrade that made all of our iPads unusable ! I Shut off location, turned off  brightness, shut down and  took off apps.  WHAT NOW for my iPad ?

    Batteries eventually fail, and it sounds like that's happened with your iPad. You'll need to take or send it Apple to get the battery replaced. See:

  • Is there an easy way to transfer contacts from iphone to another phone?

    My company will no longer support/pay for my iphone and I need to transfer my contacts out of my iphone and into a new phone, is there any easy way to do this or am I stuck with writing my contacts down and re0entering them into a new phone?

    You should be syncing your contact to your computer.
    You can probably find a way to get the contacts from your computer to your new phone.

  • Is there no easy way to change the computer that an iPhone is synched with?

    I have my iPhone 4 synched to an old Power Mac.  I just bought a new Macbook and want to transfer my iPhone info to this new computer so I can synch and update software from this new computer.  I am getting rid of the Power Mac.  Is there no easy way to do this?  I can't seem to figure it out.  I don't want to lose my info or iTunes library.  Apple is usually so intuitive, but this seems to be incredible complicated.  Any ideas?

    This link says "If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so".  I don't understand.  Isn't it ALL synched to my iPhone?  Isn't that why it's ON my iPhone?  This is absurdly confusing.

  • Iphone 5 random reboot. Any way to fix this?

  • IPhone 4s battery suddenly drained and won't hold a charge

    This afternoon the battery on my iPhone 4s suddenly began to show that my battery was drained, then shut off completely and won't charge. I've tried holding down the home button for longer than a minute and I've tried holding down the home button and the power button at the same time but it still won't turn on. I've also tried leaving the phone to charge without touching it. This is my second replacement phone (which means it's my third iPhone 4s) and I only got it in October. It's hard to believe that it's the battery when it's relatively new, but I know that's a possibility. Anyone have any suggestions of what else I should try before I go into the Apple store yet again for a phone issue?

    Ok, thanks for that info. Well I know this probably isn't what your going to want to hear, not that it's necassarily bad advice. I would suggest taking your phone into your nearest Apple Store, make an appointment with the Genius Bar first (it will just make things go smoother). The overheating/dying battery thing is a known problem. They'll either send your phone into get fixed, or you'll get a new phone. Just make sure to do a backup (in iTunes) first, as that way you'll have the most recent info to sync to should they replace your phone.
    You can also call 1(800)MY-IPHONE. see if they have any ideas, but I think you'll find they'll reccomend the same thing.
