IPhone died, but came back: Now not backlit
Hello all,
So: I dropped my iPhone in some water (sigh), but after sitting in a bowl of uncooked rice for 3 days, it is now working again! Which is great.
But it's working with one major issue. The screen is now not backlit. When I turned it back on after its little rice bath, the phone booted up and it the screen was backlit for a couple seconds, then turned off. I can see everything on the phone and use it if I tilt it in the right light, but clearly that is not acceptable.
So what do you guys think? Should I let it sit for a few more days? Think the screen is hooped? Or maybe someone knows some sort of freaky screen/restore/button combo voodoo?
Anything input would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
bump.
Anyone? Anything?

i have moved from an iphone 4 to iphone 5 and have done a back up of my iphone 4 and restored this back up to the iphone 5, but the apps do not appear to have come across. Have I done something wrong? Please can someone tell me how to move my apps across?
After you Restore from backup, sync the iPhone.

When iOS 6.0 updating my iPhone and connecting my iPhone to iTunes the only option I have, is to restore my iPhone. But ufortunately, I did not back up my iPhone before the updating. Is there any way I can avoid the restoring process?
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

Hi, after updating my iphone since 2 weeks back now i am facing a battery problem i charce fully my iphone and by the end of the day my iphone shuts down it needs to be charged again and if i didi some calles it leaks after few hours. Please adivse me what to do.
I final piece for me in the jigsaw following on from this
http://www.care4pcs.co.uk/2012/10/how-to-be-happy-gmail-user-on-iphone-or.html
is to turn off wifi when you do not need it. When I leave the house I turn off wifi, because the majority of the times when my iPhone has got very hot and crashed is when I am away from home. I suspect that if the iPhone is in the vicinity of public wifi (wheather secure or not secure) it will try and connect, even if you have 'automatically join known networks' set to off. This is easy of course if you have an unlimited data contract for your iPhone. I may be wrong, but it is working for me. It makes sense for me because it is another way of reducing the work the processor (and battery) has to do and therefore reduces the chance of overheating.
Having said that, I never had this problem with my iPhone 4. I now have a 4S.
Try it. Hope it works for you. -
I just to have an iphone 4 but get damage, now I have an iphone 4s I sync but my info from old iphone dissapear please helppppp
If you're talking about photo stream, only photos added to the camera roll after turning on photo stream on your phone are uploaded. Photos in the camera roll before turning it on aren't.

I have an iPhone 4, but the computer does not not recognize, do not recharge the battery if it is off
Did you already try another USB cable or USB port?
Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?

ive restored my new iphone 5 from iphone 4 but the apps have not moved to my new iphone 5. how do i transfer them?
If you connect and select iP5 in computer iTunes, in Apps tab, make sure the apps you want are checked before you sync.
Or on iPhone > App Store > Updates > Purchases > tap the app icon to re-download them. -
I recently dropped my iphone 5 and it is now not turning on. will this be covered in the 1 year warranty and if not how much will it cost for a replacement ? thanks in advance
No accidental damage is not covered

my iphone 4 was backed up but my contacts did not move over to my iphone 4s anyone know how to get my contacts back
If you're using your phone as recommended, your contacts reside on your computer in Outlook, Address Book, or with a cloud service. Just synch your contacts to your phone from your computer or cloud service.

I recently got a new iphone from the apple store and i forgot to back up before getting one, so i backed up on the icloud for the first time, i had alot of photos ect so i chose to not back them up to save time when i was with my genius guy. But now all my photos are gone, obviously. But im just wondering if i could restore my iphone to the previous back up i had on my mac. Is this possible? I just want my photo stream back !
ThanksIf you are in the US then you should be able to download some or all of your films : re-downloading. If you are not in the US then have you not got them on your computer's iTunes and/or on a backup ?

"Press Menu to Watch Fios TV" logo-turned off but came back!
I hated that logo that would appear when I would turn my TV on that says "Press menu to watch Fios TV. Otherwise turn your TV off." I looked through all the settings and options and finally found out how to get rid of it. I don't remember where I found it but it had options for that logo to come on after certain time intervals or to never come on. So I changed it to never and it stopped coming on for awhile.
Unfortunately, now it's back! I found that option again, assuming it had somehow been changed but it was still set to never come on. So why is it coming on again? I wouldn't mind so much if it weren't for the fact that I tape some things on VHS. Ok, you can stop laughing now about the fact that I use VHS. I have my reasons though it's not worth taking the time to explain. Anyway, the problem is that if that logo is on while the VHS is taping, all it tapes is the logo, not the show I had programmed to tape.
Does anyone have any idea why this logo came back, even though the setting is still set to not have it appear and what I can do to fix this problem?
Thank you!

Solved!
Go to Solution.Depends on what model box you have.
But generally, look for screen saver.
Also, no real advantage to turn the box off.
Doesn't save any energy.

Iphone custom colors were syncing, now not
i've read all the posts about the workarounds, etc with syncing iphone/mobileme calendars and not being able to assign colors. however, the custom colors that i had created in ical were created properly on iphone. i had to reset iphone, and now they're in they're not syncing.
i've reset sync data, added blank calendars, etc, but regardless, it's not working now. i don't remember if there was something specific i did to keep my custom colors assigned last time around. any thoughts? thanks.Did you try to clear or bypass the cache ?
