My Iphone 4 has been put in the washing machine by accident - help!

My Iphone 4 has been put in the washing machine by accident - is there any way it can be saved!!

Most likely it has suffered hardware damage in which case you'll need to take or send to Apple and pay for replacement, either under your AppleCare+ plan if you purchased the plan or by paying Apple's standard out-of-warranty replacement charge:

  • Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password.  I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes.  Please help.

  • I cannot download nor update apps through Apps Store, error message states that app cannot be downloaded, to try again later, this has been happening for the  last five days. Help!

    I cannot download nor update apps through Apps Store, error message states that app cannot be downloaded, to try again later, this has been happening for the  last five days. Help!
    It started when tryung to update Twitter. Now the problem is with every app I try to update or download.

    I have this issue as well. The App Store icon indicates there are updates available but when I open the app a popup says it can't connect to the store and the screen remains white. I have tried a hard reset (power & home button) and several other suggestions I have found throughout the forums here without success.

  • IPod put through the Washing Machine

    Well, I put my month old 60 GB iPod through the washing machine this past sunday and as one would assume, I'm having problems with it. As far as it stands right now, when I plug it into my computer it will occosionally alternate between a sign that it's charging or a battery with an exclamation mark. The majority of the time, however, it shows nothing. Also, there was one instance that I connected it to my computer and the apple emblem came up... and stayed up, even after I disconnected it for a few hours. Given all of that information, does anybody have any suggestions or have anything to say to offer me a glimmer of hope that my mistake may be reversed? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    My uncle has had his phone fall in a coffee mug and he managed to revive it but that was becuse he has had this happen befor. I think that you might have already screwed it up forever but it is still worth giving this a shot.
    Let the iPod completely dry out. Dont touch if for like a week or somthing and then it should be ready. Plug it in and if it doesent work its never going to work again. If you get a connection with you computer then you can restore it and it might save it.
    good luck man.

  • My iPod got put tho the washing machine

    hiya everyone i jus wanted to say my mum washed my jeans with muy ipod shuffle in the pocket i left it on the radiator plugged it back into my pc at night then it started working again how amazing !!!!!!!!!

    I thought I would be the luckiest person alive when my iPod suffered the same fate, and then resurrected. - but you were also lucky.
    I can now see why Apple can get away with charging a little extra.
    MY IPOD SURVIVED THE WASHING MACHINE!!!
    they should put this in an ad or something.

  • My iphone has been toggling between the Apple logo(like its just been rebooted) and the home screen. I cant do anything to stop it. Batt still has some juice. It keeps beeping also, the same beep u hear everytime u plug in to charge.

    I have updated it to 4.3.3 abt 2 weeks ago. I have also tried rebooting it a few time but to no avail. You can email me at [email protected]
    Thanks!!!!

    Hi, did you ever solve this problem?
    My 1 year old -- ha! one month out of warranty -- iPhone 4 has been having a nearly identical problem over the past few days.
    It started by dying completely so I had the battery replaced, thinking it was simply battery issue.
    It then worked again for a moment but started doing exactly what you describe, going through a reset cycle (longer than 30 seconds but who's counting). And it felt quite warm.
    Did hard reset, plugged into wall charger and MBP USB but the new battery wouldn't even get a full charge (a whopping 92% after nearly two days). It would even lose battery when plugged in if I opened an app. And all the while plugged in, if I left the phone on, it would cycle through these resets. So I turned it off to try to charge it.
    Now suddenly, it's dead again. Totally black, and hard reset does nothing. Up until two days ago there was nothing wrong whatsoever with this phone! And I hadn't even installed a new app that could be the root of the issue. No idea whatsoever what caused this.
    Any help would be much appreciated!!

  • Since the new software update I am no longer able to syn my itunes playlist to my ipod nano.  Everything that has been put online since Nov 2014 is not helping, any suggestions?

    iTunes latest update has now stopped my ability to sync a specified playlist from my iTunes library to my ipod nano.
    All suggestions on line since Novemeber 2014 have not seemed similar to my nano - it is 16gb and very old, not sure what generation.
    The screen on this one is long an rectangle and not a touch screen.  A round disk that you run your thumb around has e menu, forward, backward and play/stop button, hope this helps you know which one I am referring to.
    Also any iTunes help for my device so far has not addressed and update and how to now use my device.

    Okay - let's cut to the chase...
    If the Menu Bar (File, Edit... Help) shown in my screenshot below is not visible, use CTRL+B to display it. Then click on Help/Check for Updates. If one is available, you will be able to select it at this time.
    Note the item at the bottom of the list; About iTunes. Selecting that will show you which version of iTunes you are using.
    An alternative method to display the Menu Bar is click on the box in the top left of your iTunes window...

  • My iPhone has been stuck in the apple logo loop

    I tried to restore the software using iTunes. It came up with the error " The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9). After talking with tech support they said that it was a hardware issue. Does anybody know what component i need to replace?

    See: Resolve iOS update and restore errors
    There are no user serviceable parts in an iPhone, and no legitimate source for replacement parts, as Apple does not sell them. Thus, any part you buy was scavenged from some other phone and may or may not work. There's also no way to identify which part might need replacing. Most likely it is the logic board, but there's no way to know for sure. Apple will replace the phone for $269 if out of warranty, free if in warranty.

    There are several ways. The two easiest are to click the Junk icon to turn it off or right click the message and select Mart As-Not Junk.

  • Can I sell an iPhone that has been through the washing machine?

    I have a 16 month old iPhone 5S that went through the washing machine. Screen busted and now it doesn't work. I was wondering if it was still sellable. Meaning, is there anyone out there that would buy such a phone and be able to use the parts?
    I'm not trying to dupe anyone, I'm going to be up front about the condition, but I wasn't sure if any part of the phone still had value in it's current state.
    Thanks for any help.

    Yes, you can sell it as "for parts or not working" (that's what eBay would have you list it as). But you'd probably only get $10-$20 for it. Also, although it's not working, do as much of this as you can: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.

  • I lost my phone 6 weeks ago, today I got an email saying "iPhone has been locked." does this mean someone has tried to power up my device. I had put the remote lock on the phone when I lost it. Today I sent 2 messages to the phone asking to call my phone

    Yes, this would seem the most likely reason to me.

  • My iPod 5th gen touch went through the washing machine. It still works but it has water in the screen and I can't get it out. I put it in uncooked rice for a day but it didn't work. And suggestions??

    Leave it in the rice for at least a day and change the rice every other day or so. The rice and iPod should be in a sealed container.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $149. They do not fix yours.
