Got a replacement iphone 4 today. Could not recover contacts etc due to water damage. New phone won't let us make or receive calls until we hook up to itunes. Don't know what that means. Any help would be appreciated. Phone problem or Sprint problem?
Thanks!

If you have iTunes on your computer, plug the phone to the computer running iTunes. You will be guided by iTunes.
Download iTunes here (if you do not have it):

My old iphone was replaced today, due to faults. Now it will not allow me to use my credit card account for the appstore and itunes?

Please don't tell me to retry, or re check my information because it is all correct, it basically says u cannot use thi account due to it being connected to another device... which is my old fault iphone, at the apple store.

I have never before heard of cards being locked to a single device... but your case has shown me that it happens.
If I am getting it right you try to log in to your account and it asks for billing information, and when you enter your card details it tells you that the card cannot be used. If that is the case then I'm sorry to say that my only suggestion would be to contact iTunes support directly; the contact form can be found in here: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

'Device not optimised for iphone', repeatedly displayed. I have heard that it may be the device port in the bottom due to water damage.

Some people have been able to rectify this. I believe it to be a hardware issue as I have restored the phone and yet the problem remains. I have read elsewhere that this may be due to water damage in the port. I write because it seems some people have been able to fix this, by either cleaning the port or by 'placing the phone in a bowl of rice'. Conversely, some have had permanent damage.
I am a lorry driver, and while working outside, the heavens quite literally dropped their pants and soaked me. The phone was in my pocket, once i realised, I got my phone to a dry place. It did not seem to be wet, however I know these things can be very delicate.
To summarise, has anyone had this same problem? How did you get on? I have my phpne insured, however, I want to exhaust every avenue before hadning over my device to Vodafone for two weeks until they eventually realise that they cannot fix it and give me a new one. To make things worse I have just bought some Dr. Dre Beats headphones, they are now rather redundant.

If the clean dry toothbrush does not help the situation. Then clean the dock port with lint free cloth moistened with isopropyll alcohol very carefully. Especially clean the pins which are on top of the dock mid rib. It may take several cleanings to get the job done, if even possible at all. The isopropyll alcohol will clean corrosion if present. Isopropyll alcohol is the solvent of choice in all water damage repairs.

How much is the replacement price for a water damaged iPhone 5? Since iPhone 5 is no longer available

I know it was &229 before. But how much is the replacement price for a water damaged iPhone 5 now? Since iPhone 5 is no longer available and replaced by iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S. Could I pay a little more to replace an iPhone 5S?

A way around what?

My iPod touch isn't being recognized by my pc. The lock button on it won't work due to water damage, and a friend of mine fixed the problem by restoring it on his computer. How do I restore it without the lock button?

My iPod touch isn't being recognized by my pc. The lock button on it won't work due to water damage, and a friend of mine fixed the problem by restoring it on his computer. How do I restore it without the lock button?

first try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
next
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1937 My iphone 4s fell in salt water and not working. What can i do?

My iphone 4s fell in salt water and not working. What can i do? My location is Russia. Is it possible to send my device to apple-USA for repair?

No, you would have to send it to someone you know in the USA and have them take it to any AppleStore and do an out-of-warranty replacement for $199 USD. Apple will not accept a shipment from your and the warranty is not international.
You can take it to a 3rd party repair shop and have them open it and clean it. But you need to do it quicly saltwater will very quickly damage the components without that phone.

My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone.

My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone. Could any one help where exectly the memory chip (not RAM) resides in the phone. Is it on the motherboard or a seperate component in the phone?

The iPhone's internal components are soldered together. There is no way to recover data from your phone if it refuses to power up.

Policy is that you get the same model, size an color as a replacement. However, if you ask, the worst that can happen is that they will say no.

If you didn't enable find my iphone in icloud settings on your phone, then you can't do a lost mode or lock your phone.
I would assume you had a passcode on your phone to lock it. If you didn't then start changing your passwords.
Report the lost to your phone carrier - local authorities.

Sorry, there is nothing you can do.
FYI: Damage like that is not covered by warranty, & all Apple will offer you is an out of warranty replacement...cost, in the US, for an iPhone 4, is US $149.

Unlikely as you do not meet there requirements for unlocking.
Have your friend the provided the phone contact them. Based on your statements I am concluding he was or still is an AT&T customer, that is one of the requirements of getting the device unlocked.
