Upgrading from iPhone 5 to iPhone 6 Plus after Water Damage

My iPhone 5 fell in water back in October of 2014. I placed the phone in a bag of rice for 3 days
straight when it happened. It dried out fine and worked like nothing happened. Didn't matter I had
to upgrade to the iPhone 6 Plus anyways since it was released around that time. I decided to leave
my last existing backup on my computer (that I did before the phone dropped in water), and not backup
the phone after the water drop. Because the data could potentially be corrupt due to the oxidization of
components inside. Long story short I have the iPhone 6 plus now I got yesterday.
What I need to know:
My iPhone 5 still works but obviously it now doesn't have a working sim card. There are apps I wanted to
take snapshots of, or files I wanted to export from various places from after the water drop happened (which
I never backed up for reasons mentioned above. I already did a backup restore to the new iPhone 6 Plus from
the backup file made prior to the water drop. The iPhone 6 Plus is working flawlessly.
Can I use both phones at the same time with the apps going at the same time? Or will their be a weird
lockout conflict of sorts? Remember one phone has a working sim, but the apps will be the same as the
old phone and I don't want to use both at the same time if it will cause problems.

It won't cause problems to use both. Of course without a sim card in the iPhone 5 it will be just a glorified iPod touch now and will have no access to cellular networks, sms, etc. But it will at least work, and any apps that can run over wifi will continue to work as before.
You might find an app like iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com) useful for getting any remaining info off your iPhone 5 and onto your new iPhone 6 Plus.

How to fix iphone 5 lock button after water damage?

So earlier today I had dropped my iphone 5 into the toliet. Now I had just peed in the toliet.. and I grabbed the phone out asap. It was in there no longer then 2 seconds. I pulled it out, dried it off and it turned on. The only problem it had was the speakers didnt work but I found out that if you put a q tip in the headphone jack thatll fix it. So I fixed that and everything seemed to be working good. Then after about an hour I notice when I push the lock the response was delayed.. it took about 2 seconds after I hit the button for it to turn off. Then later it just totally stopped working. I cant turn on or off my iphone with using the power button on the top. Well I turned it off by going into the settings now I have it in rice. Anyone know how I can fix this? Will the rice work or is it just pretty much dead? what can I do? Thanks.

TMI (too much information - I don't want to know about your toilet activities and I guess neither does anyone else here)
you could (once the phone has dried out and you hav waited a few days and are game to turn it on) go to settings/general/accessibility and turn on assistive touch. A little button will appar on the screen and you can drag it around if it gets in the way. If you tap on the button then tap on device then hold the little padlock for a while it will turn the phone for you

Iphone 4s not charging after water damage and subsequent new battery

My phone got wet in my pocket during a rainstorm last week. After drying it out it appeared fine except that the battery won't charge. It does however appear that its charging, It makes the noise when connected to the charger and the battery icon has the charging symbol next to it. I've changed the battery and the problem persists. Do you think the charging circuits have been damaged? What should my next step be?

Unfortunately, your next step is to find a competent 3rd party repair shop or buy a new phone. Apple will not touch that one now that you opened it.
Apple does not sell iPhone parts including batteries. The only possible sources are stolen parts, salvaged parts, or counterfeit parts.
You are no longer eligible for the $199 out of warranty replacement.
Missed the part where he changed the battery.

If it does not respond when plugged to a computer running the latest version of iTunes, then it is indeed dead and no content will be recoverable.

My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone.

My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone. Could any one help where exectly the memory chip (not RAM) resides in the phone. Is it on the motherboard or a seperate component in the phone?

The iPhone's internal components are soldered together. There is no way to recover data from your phone if it refuses to power up.

I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. After a few weeks the HDD failed. New Leopard install reports: "insufficient memory". I need Tiger install disks so I can install

I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard.
After a few weeks the HDD failed. I bought a new disk, installed it and trued to install Leopard, but the install fails reporting "insufficient memory".
I assume the installation requires more memory than the OS actually needs to be able to run.
I need Tiger install CD/DVD so I can install Tiger first and then upgrade to Leopard.

Call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a reasonable fee, they will supply a replacement set of system discs (if available).
The discs will be for the original version of the OS that was pre-installed when the Mac was manufactured.
You need much more RAM than that.

Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion?

Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion? Or should I have done it before installing Lion?

I think you are missing my point.
For the last many editions of the creative suite they have each been completely independent. There is no "going over a previous version. Each version stands on its own and is a clean install — as long as you haven't installed that specific version before.
And "obsolete" is a pretty relative term. With products as complex as the creative suite there are often features (or even whole applications) that change between versions. Many people I know keep earlier versions around, just for that very reason.

Data recovery after water damage

Is it possible to recover data from an iPhone after water damage, regardless of whether the phone is salvagable?

Yes, depending on the amount of damage.

Putting cat litter in a bag of cat litter after water damage- will it help

If you put your iphone 5 in a bag of cat litter will it help more than rice after water damage? if so, what kind????

http://discussions.apple.com/message/22464453#22464453
It doesn't matter as you didn't let your phone sit in the bag of rice long enough.
You just may need to pony up and go to the Apple store and buy an out of warranty iphone 5.

MacBook Unibody A1342 no power after water damage to logic board

MacBook Unibody A1342 no power after water damage to logic board
Ive sustained damage to my logic board after water damage. Can anyone tell me if it can be repaired or what the parts which have fallen off do(looks like 2 tiny capacitors?) . Magsafe has green light and battery charges but machine shows no other life signs. any help would be most appreciated thanks

@CoccoBorg:
I need your help, please. I spilled wine on my mid 2009 unibody macbook pro, now when I power up I see Hard drive light On, I hear fan noise, but don't hear any startup Apple chime and nothing on display, I cleaned the logic board with 91% alcohol, but that didn't change anything. Before cleaning the logicboard, their were no signs of wine on the logicboard, but there was a lot of wine on the keyboard black sheet.
My guess is:
1. The keyboard might be causing this behaiour, I wan't to bypass the keyboard, can you please confirm if these are the right power pads on logicboard?
http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/106612/Where+are+the+power+pads
2. You mentioned something about fuses, where will I find them on logic board?
3. Any othe suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
