  • I dropped my iphone in water and the phone will not turn back on or charge...

    I dropped my iPhone in water and the phone will not turn back on or charge... I know its probably fried and I need it repaired but is there any possible way I would be able to save the information that was on it. Pictures or videos? Most of my pictures were saved on my i Cloud, but some information had not been uploaded like my videos.
    Does apple provide any sort of recovery services?
    Thanks

    - 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.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod touch will not turn on even after charging and holding buttons

    iPod touch 4th gen will not turn on. I have charged it on computer into a USB port for hours. I have held the SleepWake button together with the Home button for 10 sec, 20 sec, 30 sec, and 40 sec. I have tried releasing the SleepWake button first. I have tried disconnecting it from computer then repeating the sequence of buttons. I have tried different USB ports. I have tried reconnecting the iTouch while holding the buttons. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

  • My iphone will not turn back to main screen it is frozen and can not get to go back

    my iphone will not get out of a locked function.  The phone at the bottom where you usually slide to unlock in changing in Japanese, and other symbols.  As well as I can not see anything or turn the phone on when unplugged.  after the screen has done the Japanese thing it acts like it needs to be plugged into computer to download itunes and states that it needs itunes to be restored.  Once I plug it into computer it only shows apple screen.  Any help?

    Try forcing a reboot on your iPhone. Hold down the Home button and Sleep button simultaneously for about ten seconds. Ignore anything the phone does and do not release until the screen goes dark and you see the Apple symbol. If your iPhone still wants to connect to iTunes, do so and see what happens. If there is still a problem, click Restore on your iPhone's summary page in iTunes. First restore from backup to try and preserve your content, but if this fails, you may have to restore your iPhone as new and manually set it up again. Good luck!

  • Tour will not turn back on after period of inactivity

    Hello,
    My Tour will not turn on after about 2 weeks of inactivity. The battery was stored in it at appx 40% (I realize this was probably a mistake...).
    When plugged into the charger, the red light goes on for appx 10 secs, then turns off (whether battery is in or out).
    Several battery pulls have not made a difference.
    Phone has been plugged in for over an hour now, with no result.
    Tried putting the battery in with the phone plugged/unplugged.
    Plugging phone into PC USB tries to install the drivers (so it's def not fried)
    Thank you in advance for ANY help
    Wesley

    Yes I was going to suggest the same thing. Either place a friend's in your device or take it into your carrier's store to see if another battery does the trick

  • HELP Iphone will not turn back on

    Ok, I was messing with Facebook this morning and FB would not let me post anything. I would post and then it would go back to the app screen. I did this a total of 3 times and then decided to delete FB and then try and redownload it. Well phone started moving real slow so I shut it off. Held the top button and slid the slider over and it started to turn off. It didnt shut off for a while so I hit the home button and it just turned off. Now when I go to turn it back on the apple comes up for about 10-15 seconds and shuts off. I have tried holding both buttons down with no luck. Have tried everything, held both buttons down for 30 seconds, continuously hit the buttons while the apple is up etc.... Nothing works. I need help, what can I do to get my phone back up. I am lost without it!! I appreciate the help you guys can give me.

    Ok, now a new scenario. Someone told me that maybe the battery was dead to plug it and charge it. So at lunch I went to my car and started charging my phone. After charging it for about 15 minutes I held the top button and the home button for about 10 seconds. About 10 seconds in the phone clicks on the usb port cord and Itunes logo. What does this mean? Do I need to plug it into Itunes?

  • External Display will not turn back on after sleep

    Just bought a new MBP last week and gave my wife the MB. I typically attach to an external 24" display and run in closed clamshell mode. I have been doing it for quite some time with no issues. Now with the new MBP if the energy saver kicks in and turns off the display, and/or the energy saver puts the computer to sleep when I attempt to wake it up the display flashes then goes blank. There is no way to turn it back on. When I open the clamshell the internal display will only show some random pixels and a white line at the top of the screen. There is no way to correct it unless I shut down the machine.
    I am running with the Nvidia card, not the internal Nvidia. If I manually put the computer to sleep it will wake normally with no screen issues. It will also not act up if the external display is not connected.
    Any help or suggestions of a setting I might have wrong that would cause this?

    It is a Gateway FHD2400. Connected from mini display to HDMI. My previous MB was connected to the same monitor for the last year with 0 issues. It was connected mini dvi to VGA.
    The issue is strange because it only happens when the computer turns off the screen or sleep. When I put it in sleep it doesn't happen.

  • Airport will not turn back on after waking up, slow connections

    So...
    Occasionally when I wake my iMac (2.8 GHz aluminum running 10.5.5 and all other updates) up from being asleep my Airport turns off by itself. No matter how many times I click to turn it on it never comes back on. Logging out does nothing, relaunching Finder does nothing. The only way I have found to fix it is to shut down or restart it. Oh, I am connecting to an older b/g Airport Express.
    I assumed this was my only issue until I looked at all the reports of slow connection speeds. I realized that things can get very slow sometimes, but my connection bars in the little Airport icon never go down, they stay at a full signal.
    And I can't video chat in iChat. With anyone using anything. Go figure.

    For the time being I think I'm just going to plug my modem directly into the ethernet port. I can't stand that this ******** is happening with a brand new iMac when I just got done dealing with a fried iMac G5. Is Apple ever going to make another iMac that doesn't have something wrong with it?
    If anyone knows of any fixes or other helpful information I would greatly appreciate it.

  • First gen Macbook pro will not turn back on after grey screen of death

    Hi, i have a first generation Macbook Pro. As i was browsing the web, my computer all the sudden froze and the "grey screen of death" appeared and shut of my computer. After, it tried to restart, but it wont get past the CD rom  or hard drive noise it makes once you press the power button. I hear the noise fully cycle once, then it restarts the noise and keeps skipping. Once its done, the computer IS on, but the screen is black and I cannot do anything. Please help! Ive never dealt with thins kind of problem and Im sort of a noob with computers. Is the computer fried? It is after all 7 years old, and I use it daily.

    After the startup sound (be precise) after the sound press the shift Key until the apple appear.
    If that wont work. Try an SMC reset
    Then try a PRAM reset
    This procedures are on apple webpage
