My Iphone has water damage and will not hold a charge.
About 5 weeks ago, I got my iPhone 4s wet. It was not completely submerged in water and had a phone cover on it at the time. I put it in a bag of rice for about 3 weeks and it is now fully functional. The buttons, sound, camera, touch screen, etc... it works the way it did before. The only way the phone will turn on is if I connect it to the charger, but it will only stay on for a few mins before a red line appears across the screen and fades out then will power itself up again. If i leave it connected to the charger it will keep doing this over and over again. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or have it repaired?
I would not have it repaired. I would take it to Apple and get an out-of-warranty replacement. I believe it's $199 for the 4S.

Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings. You might need to hold the buttons for as long as a minute.

HT3302 my iphone has water damage what will it cost me to repair it?
I have had a terrible week with sick babies and twisted ankels and to top it off my iphone was knocked off the couch into a cup of water:-( I know it has water damage and am just wondering what it will cost me to have it fixed or replaced?
I'm presuming you do not have AppleCare+, which provides accidental damage coverage, on the iPhone. Apple does not repair iPhones, but will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to do a repair for less. Do a web search for "iPhone repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPhone serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further warranty will be void.<

My iphone 4 has water damage and it has taken its toll and turned itself off and wont turn back on. I have tried everything, restoring, charging, restoring through itunes and taking it in for repair at an independant retailer. I really need my iphone so i was wondering where the best place to repair it is and if i can take it to apple, how much it would cost?
There is no such thing as an Apple authorized repair facility or technician. Since Apple replaces iOS devices and does not repair them in-house, they've never offered any iOS device repair training or certification. Likewise, there is no system of distribution of OEM parts, since there are no authorized repair centers to use them. Any parts are used, 3rd party recycled or outright stolen/black market.
So, anywhere you take it other than Apple is a situation of you pay your money and you take your chances (and you have no one to turn to if it fails, other then the person or place that failed to fix it for you).
Your optimal option would be to take it to Apple, pay the out of warranty repair fee and swap it for a fully factory refurbished unit (which will have a new screen, new battery and a min. 90 day warranty).
However, if it has been taken apart by someone else already for past private repair attempts, then Apple will not allow an out of warranty replacement.
The out of warranty replacement fees are available for each country under the iPhone support links, e.g. in the USA - http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipho ne -
My iPhone has switched off and will not turn back on
mmy iPhone 5c was working perfectly fine this morning whilst I have been in work. But when I left work and checked my phone in my pocket it had switched itself off and will not turn itself back on. I have tried to plug into charger but still not turning on
Hi Kate,
It must be very frustrating to be unable to use your iPhone since it won't even power on. Let's see if we can get things back up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Start with the section titled If your device still won't turn on or start up.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,

My iphone 4 has mild water damage. As a result, it will not sync with it's former XP computer with the cable. I deleted the phone's data in the troubleshooting process. I want to get it back by syncing over wifi, but I did not set up this capability before the damage occured.is there another way to initiate this feature ? I can tell that they are connecting in the cloud because an app I just downloaded on the phone is showing up in itunes on the computer.
You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.

My iPhone 4s has tured off and will not turn back on I have only had it a week it has been in the Otter box case the entire time. What do I do to get my phone back on??????
You can try to press the home button and power button and hold them for around 15-20 seconds. This will perform a soft reset similar to pulling the battery. If that doesn't help you may need to restore it.

Just read that someone had the same problem on 3gs and someone had replied to press the home button and power button at same time, so I tried this and within a few seconds my phone had switched itself back on.

Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes
Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes to do a restore. I have tried to do a reset using the sleep button and home key and all I get is a white band across the screen and then it boots into the main system but it is just a series of white lines going across the screen, how can I do a restore on this?
Hey dbwithers,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad after attempting to update to iOS 8. To isolate these issues, let’s try placing your iPad in recovery mode and attempting a restore with iTunes:
