My macbook air got wet and now it doesn't have any sound

My macbook air just got a little wet but then air was coming out of it and now it works and i can use it but sound doesnt come out of it. Should i bring it in ? Is there anything that Apple can do to bring the sound back ?

Leave it turned off. Leave it unplgeed from the wall.
Take it into Genius Bar for a repair estimate (estimates are free). Water damage is not covered by warranty, so the repair bill may be small or may be large. Genius Bar will know far beter than any users in this forum just guessing.
Good luck.

My MacBook Pro got wet and I lost all of my childs photos from the day she was born. Is there anyway I could get these pictures back from my iCloud? I actually care more for getting the photos back than I do my laptop. Please help! Thank you!

Welcome to the Apple community khnkOliver.
I assume these photos, or at least not all of them weren't in photo stream.
You should be able to recover your photos from a back up.

- 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.

My macbook pro got wet and the battery light is still on but my macbook won't turn on. What's the problem?

My mabook pro got wet the other night, the battery light still works but my macbook won't turn on and should i just wait for it to completely dry up? Or what should i do to solve this problem?

Just face facts - if water (or any other liquid) reached you logic board or any other electronic components, you're going to be the victim of corrosion.
Eventually, you'll need to have the logic board replaced. There are liquid sensors all over your MBP and the techs can tell if these have been activated. I wouldn't turn the computer on at all - if it were me, I would take it to your local Apple Store/AASP and get an estimate for repair. Rice & other desiccates may 'dry up' the liquid, but it won't undo the damage already done.

My MacBook Pro got wet and I need help?

We just had a different air conditioner installed above my computer desk. Even though my MacBook Pro was not on top of the desk it still got wet. It soaked through the desk straight on to the pullout computer shelf onto my laptop. We soaked it in rice for a week. We just pulled it out and nothing. The light on the battery won't even light up. Any suggestions?? Is there somewhere I can go for a miracle fix (I'm in Salt Lake City, UT) or am I totally screwed???

The only thing you can do is take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar or Apple Authorized Service Provider for diagnostics to see what damage the water did. There is nothing more a user can do than you have already tried.
Note: it is not a good idea to publish hardware serial numbers on an open, public forum.

HT4623 how to fix a iphone 4 that got wet and won't swipe to get in

I need help my iphone got wet. it still works but i can't swipe to get in. I can still recieve messages and stuff. I put it in rice for 2 days but i still have this problem. How should i fix this??

The damage has probably already been done since you powered it on after getting wet but... turn it off and put it in a bag of rice for 5-7 days. It might work after that.

Help My ipod got wet and won't turn on

Recently an accident happened where water was spilled onto my brand new ipod chromatic, I have no idea what to do and let it sit out to dry. Does anyone know if it wil work afterwards or something I can do to help/ fix it?

Water is bad. At least when it comes to anything that runs on electricity.
If you tried to turn it on immediately after it getting wet, you are probably in trouble. Everyones first instinct is to turn something on after they drop it in water or get it wet and that is the LAST thing you want to do at that point!
If you get any device wet, DO NOT TURN IT ON! You need to let is sit and dry out before you try to turn it on.
As for your specific case. Try letting it dry out completely, then try turning it on. Put it somewhere dry and warm for a day or two.
If it still does not work, you may be out of luck.

My iphone got wet and won't turn on

Yesterday, my iphone 4 fell into water .... it was completely submerged for about 10 seconds before I could remove it. It worked for about 5 minutes after it happened, but then it shut off and won't turn on. Now it's sitting in a pot of dry rice (people told me to put it in rice because it dries stuff out). Is there anything I can do? will it work again?? Am I doomed??

Your phone is fried. You can get an out of warranty replacement at an Apple Store.

MacBook Air shut off and will not start.

I have a late 2010 MacBook Air.
Unfortunately, I'm in a country without an Apple store or any kind of official Apple support (no phone number to call).
2 days ago, I plugged in a little USB modem device (wireless is rare here) and my laptop shut down suddenly. It refused to restart at all until I did an SMC reset and then it was working fine (including with the USB modem plugged in).
However, the next day, the same shut-down occurred (when I plugged in the modem again) and now SMC reset is not doing anything. I've held down the start button for a very long time and there aren't any signs of life. The light on the charger shows that it is charging when I plug it in.
Any suggestions?

Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Apparently the USB modem hardware is not compatible with your MBAir.

My ipod touch got wet and won't turn on can it be repaired

My iPod touch was out in the rain and now it won't turn on. Can it be repaired?

yeah it should be able to get fixed one is an costly way
and one free which you can do on your on which will on cost you a few pounds
ok first the colstly way ipod/ifone repair web sites will fix wet ipod/ifones but they can charge anything from £39.99 to £79.99 to fix some with have an free post and pack service with royal mail and some will have u pay for this this will cost u £19.95
ok the free way you will need two soft dry cloths and some where warm first lay one of the cloths down put the ipod/ifone face up lcd faceing up, now but the 2nd cloth over the top of it and leave it alone for 3-5 days after this try powering up ipod via its power button if it powers up and and buttons work it should be able to charge up
now its the same with the ifone but you need to take the back off and take out both battery and sim leave the back off and cover leave for the same time 3-5 days

HT1438 ipod touch got wet and won't work

My daughter dropped her ipod in the toilet...nice...now it won't work properly even after we dried it off and put the ipod in rice overnight.
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

Overnight probably don't do any good. Let it dry in rice for three or four days at least. Then try the iPod again. If it will fails, it's almost certainly damaged and you'll have to take or send it to Apple and pay their out-of-warranty replacement charge.
Regards.

Driod incredible 2 got wet and won't turn on...will I lose pictures?

Will I lose all of my pictures on my phone or will they be able to help at the store?

Hopefully you pulled the sd card out right away. The pictures should all be there. My daughter dropped her DINC2 in the water and we quickly pulled out the card, powered down, took out the battery, dried the parts and then placed all the parts in a container with uncooked rice and let it dry out for 48 hours. Her phone works fine and she didn't lose any pictures either.

MacBook shut itself down and won't start up again

I am painstakingly typing this on my iphone as my 2010 13"MacBook Pro won't give any sign of life appart from the battery indicator, which indicates that the battery is full. I brought it to the apple service centre here in Germany, who say that there is a power problem, the cause of which they can't identify, and that they would need to replace the logic board at a cost of well over 600 euro (guarantee only just ran out a few months ago). I am dithering whether to have it repaired as I only get a 90 day guarantee on the repair and apple allegedly don't know what caused the problem in the first place, or whether it could happen again. Has anybody else had this problem? Any advice?

I'm not sure what additional information I can give. The MacBook had always worked fine until now. It has on occasion heated it up a bit, but that seems to be common from what im reading.. I've never had any of the display problems that others in this community have had.
Unfortunately, prices tend to be a good bit higher here in Europe. I'm being charged over 400 euro for the logic board alone (more than USD 500). The third-party service providers I've seen so far seem to charge similar fees. Plus I've already paid for the diagnostic 65 euro, which gets offset against the final bill if I go ahead with the repair, so I wouldn't be saving much with a DIY job.
It's all very frustrating as it is; one of the main reasons I chose the macbook is that I thought I was getting something that was going to last. My big fear now is that I might end up throwing more money down the drain by having it fixed.

HT5219 I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display. Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ? I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged.

I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display (27'').
Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ?
I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged. Is this normal ?

I just got my ATD and late 2011 MBP up and running. I've not tried running without the power adapter from the ATD plugged in, but I just tried and didn't have any problems with the display not waking. You may want to take your query to the ATD forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/peripherals/thunderbolt_display - perhaps someone there has experienced a similar issue.
Good luck,
Clinton
