I was thrown in the pool with my phone in my pocket. I was in the pool for a minute or two. I got out dried it off and stuck it in rice. Is there any hope for my hope? If not, is there a way to fix it?

What a colossally bad idea! To anyone reading this thread DO NOT DO THIS!!! Once anyone other than an Apple Authorized Service Provider (and that doesn't automatically mean your carrier, just FYI) opens up the device, then ALL options from Apple are gone, permanently.

I have not had any experience in getting any devices repaired so I'm not sure which store to resort to. An official Apple store should more than likely get you what you need, but I'm guessing it's probably more expensive. (if any cost for your situation)
I hope you get your problem resolved.

I dropped my phone down the toilet and before I switched it off I sent a text. I have left it to dry out for the last 48hiurs. Is there any hope for my iPhone 5c?

Probably not. First of all, 48 hours is not enough. 5-7 days is better. Secondly, if you did not turn it off the very instant you retrieved it, it probably did worse damage. Even if it powers on, it's very unlikely it will function 100%.

Is there any hope for a Nano 6th gen that went through the washing machine?

Is there any hope for a Nano 6th Gen that went through the washing machine? All of the devices contents are showing up in iTunes when connected but the device itself is not working.

Hello kpratta,
There is some hope. I have heard of someone putting the ipod in a bag of dry rice and putting the bag in a dark place for a 4-5 days. After that they used this:
www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
This has the best chance. The rice absorbs any liquid in the ipod.
Hope this helps.

Is there any hope that my ipod will be okay? and if not could it be repaired? How much is it to repair? One more question what will happen to my photos, is there a way i could atleast get my photos?!? Please please please help!!!!!! please!!!

Hey Posada143, You can still try the rice thing, but do not expect much, as roaminggnome has stated. The rice only works if you do it ASAP and leave the iPod off-- do not attempt use, turn on or charge until it is completely dried out. This is probably academic at this point but remember this for the next time: The drying can take 10 days. You put the uncooked rice and iPod in a sealed bag, change the rice every couple of days. This creates a low humidity environment and draws the moisture out of the iPod, but it takes time. Turn your iPod on to earlier, and you run the risk of shorting out, damaging the components inside. Even if done correctly it can spotty. If you do get the iPod to work (and this may require Resetting, Restoring or attempting to place it in DFU recover mode) the first thing you do is make backups, because you never know how long it will continue to work. As for your pictures, if you can't get your iPod to work, you can try data retrieval companies, however; there is no guaranty it will work and it tends to be very expensive. In the future get in the habit of as making backups, because you just don't know. And invest in and use a water tight case. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

My ipad was dropped. The screen is frozen on. How broke is it?

My I pad was dropped. Now the screen is frozen on.....In fact, the battery life still says 70%, but it was dropped over 6 hours ago. How broke is my device?

Possible "fix" that has worked for some users. Turm the iPad over and slap it hard on the back. You may have to do this numerous times.

Ipod Touch 5th Generation 32 Gb was dropped into toilet 3 days ago, has been sitting and occasionally tried to be turned on. Any way to save it?

3 days agoI dropped it in the toilet and then immediately dried it off. I tried to plug it in to my computer to back it up but no go. For the first ten minutes I tried turning it on and off but it would not work. I decided to let it sit and hoped it would work eventually. Now it does nothing. 2 days ago it would make sounds on the lock screen but wouldn't show anything on the screen and when it was connected to my computer at this time my computer said it was malfunctioned. Is there anyway possible to save it now? Or can I send it to Apple to have it fixed for a fee? If I do will it still have all the memory, data, songs, and apps? Sorry for all the questions any information will be helpful.

Place it in a sealed container with uncooked rice for 5 days or so and change the rice periodically.
Then as necessary:
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.
- Try another cable
- 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.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $19 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

My ipad wants me to restore it. Is there any hope for me getting back the data before this happened?

So I went to turn on the ipad2, and there is an icon telling me to connect it with my MacBook to restore it. It worked fine the night before. Anyway, is there any way to get back what was on it. I am mostlry concerned with photographs. I am ashamed to say that I did not back it up as often as I should have.

I have not had any experience in getting any devices repaired so I'm not sure which store to resort to. An official Apple store should more than likely get you what you need, but I'm guessing it's probably more expensive. (if any cost for your situation)
I hope you get your problem resolved.

Is there any hope for a water damaged ipad mini?

I accidentally spilled some water over my ipad mini. I think the water got into the ipad thru the earphone jack. If spent about two weeks trying to dry it out.
The excess moisture that was inside the screen has disappeared (after head and rice and all that sort of thing) but it will not switch on.
If I connect to the power, I can hear the audible beep that happens when you plug it in. If I leave it for a while, I can randomly hear Siri saying something like 'Siri cannot operate'(not too sure - I've always been too far away) and 'please connect to Internet'
This makes me feel there is something there but, I still can not turn it on.
Any help? Any hope?
Noreen

there may not be unfortunately.
The water itself doesn't damage the device, but the short circuits the water causes does the damage. Anecdotally, people have reported success drying their device out, but usually the key is to rice it and leave it until it's totally dry. And avoid any power that may cause those short circuits. Since you've turned it on and such what damage there was to do is probably already done.
Just guessing, from what you;'re saying, the wifi part and the backlight/screen light seems to be damaged even though part of the operating system works (since siri can tell you she needs the internet)
You may be to the point of hoping Apple can grant you an out of warranty replacement (they don't have to when it's user damage) or looking for a new device.

I've been out of the loop - is there any hope for my Audigy 2 in Vis

Are they going to eventually come out with drivers that will make my Audigy 2 ZS Plat Pro fully functional again, so I can use all the ports and features again? Or are they going with X-Fi only now?
It would be a shame if I spent over $300 for a soundcard that would not even work with future versions of Windows
edit: Also, I'm running the Mar 07 driver pack off Creative's site. If you guys have any recommendations for any unofficial driver packs or anything to unlock more ability out of my soundcard, that'd be great. Thanks!

Yes. There is.
Step 1: Follow these instructions > http://nomoregoatsoup.wordpress.com/...tall-problems/
I recommend the Manual instructions. Driver Sweeper might not get it all because Vista will try to hold on to those files for dear life.
Step 2: Download the latest Drivers from here > http://forums.creative.com/creativel...essage.id=2700
They are not official releases but its just as good, if not, better than anything Creative has put out on its own.

HT1688 Is there any hope for my Iphone 4 after being dropped in the toilet on Christmas

After getting my phone out of the toliet and drying it off..it appeared to be ok...three hours later, I tried to use it and it was off. I put it in rice immediately a few days later it hasn't made a difference. Yesterday, I bought a bag that is for cell emeregencies such as this, and this hasn't helped either. I haven't had a phone for four days...is it time to give up and try to find a new one or hope the drying bag helps? I don't want a new phone, I want to keep this one and hope I can revive it. I dont have insurance therefore, I am scared I will need to purchase a new phone.

I doubt that drying is the issue any longer. You can try putting it on a wall charger, let it charge for at least a half hour and then try to Reset it (hold down the power and home buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons) while it is still connected to power. It may take several tries. If it is working let it fully charge.

My ipod nano was clipped to a tee-shirt and run through the wash cycle. Is there any hope for it working again. It won't turn on or appear to take a charge.

My ipod nano was clipped to a teeshirt and ran through the wash/rinse cycle. It doesn't turn on or take a charge. Any chance of it working again?

iPod Repair Tutorials

My ipod went in the wash for 40 minutes and the screen was crushed. i immediatly put it in a baggie of brown rice. is there any hope for the hardware? (i know i need a new screen)

can it be saved? i know the rice thing has worked for other people but the bottom have of the screen is in basically small fragments so it probably got extra wet...

If you take or send it to Apple for the broken screen, they will replace your iPod (for a significant price) with an equivilant refurbished model. It doesn't matter what else is wrong with it.
