Iphone4 Water damage..Does rice really work and for how long?

I dropped my iphone in a jaccuzi, and it shockingly worked after but thirty minutes later it stopped on me.
Its been in rice for one whole day now, Ill keep it in there for longer, but if it doesnt turn back on what can i do?
I dont have insurance............

It worked immediately after for thirty minutes?
It's fried.  It's not the water that does the damage, it's the short circuiting that the water causes, which *might* be avoided by immediately powering down the phone and not switching it on again until enough time has been allowed for the thing to dry out, usually several days.
I don't even allow my phone to share a tabletop with a coffee.  A jaccuzi?

  • Does my new mac pro retina come with antivirus. And, for how long

    does my new mac pro retina come with antivirus? And, for how long?

    Yes it does.
    It's called OS X Lion - fully updated.
    There are no known viruses for MAC OS.
    Your current OS is your best protection
    If however, you want to feel more secured, download ClamX AV and do a scan once a week to give you peace of mind.
    Good luck

  • What and for how long additional OR separate benefits I receive after buying Apple Care?

    I bought a MBA 13" in India (home) last month.
    I wanted to know about Apple Care / Extended warranty that is available for sth like ~15K (INR).
    Can you please give me a detail as in what do I get with this for my Mac and for how long?
    Can I buy this before the day my current/default warranty expires or shall I have to buy this within some stipulated period from the day of purchase of my Mac?
    What is already available for my Mac as of now and for how long? Shall anything be added to warranty or care that is available with my Mac as of now? Shall be added right from the day I buy it or it will happen so after my current warranty/care gets used up i.e. after completion or 1 year or for whatever period MBAs comes with care/warranty. So, these extended warranty simply increases the number of years on my protection plan or gives additional cookies?
    If I buy an iPhone5 then shall I have to purchase separate apple care for that? Or is it available for all my Apple products? Or if not then are there such plans that I can buy to cover all or many of my apple products and are cheaper as a combined purchase?
    Within that period if let's say my Keypad fails screen goes kaput then Apple will either fix it/replace it or it will ask for extra money if it needs replacement? Or will ask for extra money even if it was not accidental damage (my fault)? I read sth about accidental damage with AppleCare purchase - it adds to the first year also or only during the next two years (or next 3 years - not sure how long it holds).
    Shall I have to buy it offline or i can buy it online too? What if I buy from another country (online/offline) if it's available for cheap over there?
    I see some deals on such packages on eBay - mostly on USA eBay, and have read posts people buying it but they were mostly from USA/EU. Can I buy one of those? Shall they be valid for my product(s)?
    By the way, does Apple provide an email support with those plans because I couldn't find one email address for Apple support.

  • What SQL Server Agent jobs are currently running and for how long

    Is there a way to tell what SQL Server Agent jobs are currently running and for how long?  View history isn't working in my case because it's only showing completed jobs.  John Schroeder

     You can use the "Job Activity Monitor" for doing this.  Do the following steps. It will open up the Job Activity Monitor.
    1.    In Object Explorer, connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine, and then expand that instance.
    2.    Expand SQL Server Agent.
    3.    Right-click Job Activity Monitor and click View Job Activity.
    4.    In the Job Activity Monitor, you can view details about each job that is defined for this server.
    In Job Activity Monitor page, we have column called Status. It will indicate whether job is executing or idle. Last Run column will give you the last invocation time of this job.
    Use the following link for further reference.

  • Sandbox is down during this week, why and for how long?

    I'm trying to test if the IAPs are working correctly on the project I'm working on, as I kept receiving from Xcode an error which says "cannot connect to the itunes store" and error code 2 I did some research and it looks like sandbox is down according to this link http://www.websitedown.info/sandbox.itunes.apple.com .
    Does anyone know why is down and for how long? Any other way to test IAPs in case sandbox is down?
    thanks.

    We are also unable to test IAP. The error is "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". Plus, it sometimes offers to sign in to already signed out account, instead to confirm password for currently signed in account. We have tested previosly working IAP code, and it reports the error now as well.

    I'm going to be out of the country for a few weeks.  I have an iPhone 4s.  Can I put an unavailable message as a response to text messages so people who are texting me will know that I am unavailable and for how long?

    No. Sorry. Check with your carrier. Perhaps they offer such a service.

    I'll generously double that offer. That brings the bidding up to 1¢.

  • Is it going to be possible for me to keep Firefox 3? How and for how long?

    I don't like the way Firefox 4 looks and works. Hate it. I don't want to have to deal with it, so I always tell it no when it tells me to switch from the latest version of 3, but today it switched over to 4 on it's own.
    Don't try to convince me that Firefox 4 is better, I just want to use the one I've been using.

    Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop.
    Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to '''Mozilla Firefox''' and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
    Then reboot and delete the folder called '''Mozilla Firefox '''at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
    Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.
    After you complete the installation, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update those where necessary.
    However, before you go that route, here are a few tips to make FF4 look like the previous version.
    * Right click a blank part of the tab bar and click "Tabs on top" to remove the checkmark. Tabs will subsequently reappear below the search bar.
    * Repeat the same steps, but click the top one called "Menu bar". This will reinstate the text links at the top.
    * To rearrange the layout, repeat the same steps again and choose "Customize". A panel will open and while that remains onscreen, you can move elements like toolbars, buttons etc around and place them anywhere you wish. You can also drag anything you don't like into that panel and add anything you want by dragging it out of there.
    * To replace the status bar at the foot of the page, install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
    Firefox 3.6.17 will be supported for a while yet, but will eventually fall by the wayside.

  • Why is the Apple Mac Developer portal down, and for how long?

    I cannot access the Mac Developer resources this morning.
    With a company as advannced as Apple, I would expect them to be able to roll out web updates
    seamlessly.
    I don't like being out in the cold.
    I want to download the Mavericks Beta.

    iTC reports finally arrived today - you can it's check daily status here.
    But again....unannounced outages are not new, so unless you get an email from Apple warning of same, there isn't much to do besides checking here and/or pounding on the backend yourself.

    how do you connect your photoshop elements on your computer to your account online? and how do you create a customized url? how does the gallery work and how do you access it? i have trouble signing in on my program from my computer to connect to the online photoshop, and I really want to create my own customized url and post photos to my gallery and share them with the world, family, and friends, but i need help because i can't figure how to do any of this, would really appreciate feedback and assistance, thanks, - claire conlon

    To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry.  If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

  • Why does Adobe sendnow work and the newest and greatest Adobe Send does not work?

    Why does Adobe sendnow work and the newest and greatest Adobe Send does not work? I wasted about 8 hours on trying to get Adobe Send to upload 269 files that amounted to 469MB. When it did not work I made a zip file and after a lot of wasted run time that did not work. The first situation gives little indication of when a file is loaded compared to Adobe SendNow. In both cases with Send it failed with a message like only the first 50 can be loaded. When I went and looked none of them had been loaded. With the zip file (I wanted to hide the individual files so they would not be counted) it appeared to work but very slowly and finally said it was done and I went and looked and it had done anything for oever 2 hours except a false "I'm runninng" indication.
    Thus, I took a chance with Adobe SendNow and it works great. It never gave me a limit on the amount of files nor on the size of the complete job. It shows me one file at a time when it has finished with the file uploading it. SendNow has never given me any problems.
    Why woiuld you want to change the program from SendNow to Send without the newest program being the best, fastest, user friendly program of the two? It just doesn't make sense to me. I suggest that Adobe keep SendNow working until Send is fixed. I would also suggest that SendNow and how it looks be kept, called Send, then modify Send one thing at a time until you get it to the point you need it to be for Acrobat. I have heard nothing good and now I have experienced it that Send is a piece of junk. I wasted most of my work day on giving Adobe the benefit of the doubt to find out I made a very bad decision to trust Adobe to make good decisions on the transfer of a function to another place .... both Adobe's responsibility.without making it painless for your customers that totally rely on you. Don't throw away customer confidence as it is very hard to get it back.

    Funny how you answer to "troll". (What's your handle on AT&T forums?)
    Yep! Verizon living up to it's contractual obligations by not releasing updates. Caveat emptor!
    I think there are some reasonable expectations here to keep customer's happy. When one carrier offers upgrades there is an expectation the same will happen across all the carriers. We have seen that except Big Red.
    Verizon could have said the update is in MS court months ago and stilled the voice of the disgruntled, or at least redirected it, but instead chose to be silent. Not for market share but for partial blame I think.
    We will have to agree to disagree since you only see Terms & Conditions and I, see customer satisfaction.

  • HT3939 if I purchased iPhone 5 GSM A1429, then I tried to use CDMA SIM card inside the same phone, does it'll work and provide me signals ???

    Hi All,
    Regarding iPhone 5, at the latest model, if I bought an unlocked one from UK Apple Store,  iPhone 5 GSM   A1429, then I tried to use CDMA SIM card inside the same phone, does it'll work and provide me signals or not. ??
    Thanks for your answering.

    The answer is complicated. None of the major carriers offer PAYG service in the US, but if you buy a contract-free phone for full price you can get a plan that can be canceled at any time from any of the major carriers (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile). There are smaller resellers that offer PAYG service (StraightTalk, for example), but they are hard to deal with.
    The most liberal is the GSM carrier T-Mobile. They have "unbundled" the phone from the service, so if you bring your own phone or pay full price for a phone the monthly cost will be lower.
    The other 3 will charge you the same monthly cost whether you pay full price for the phone or get a subsidized phone.
    Verizon iPhone 5 series phones are unlocked out of the box for international use (thanks to a condition the FCC imposed on Verizon when they were allowed to buy a substantial chunk of spectrum). They are the only phones sold in the US that will work on LTE bands in the UK and Europe.
    Sprint is not a good choice, because they give you a hard time if you want to unlock your phone.
    AT&T phones are locked, but they will unlock the phone if you pay full price or pay off your early termination fee. However, they will only work on GSM in the UK, not on LTE (4G).
