Spill Cleaning
And, don't think that just because it was two teaspoons and not a glassful that there is a difference.
Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
Do
Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
Note what was spilled on your Mac.
Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
Don't
Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).
Do not put in a bag of rice in as much as rice will get into the ports and optical drive and do further damage.

  • I want to hand on my water damaged and not working iPhone are the notes that were on the handset accessible to anyone who can get the handset working again?

    It's possible, I suppose.   Unlikely, but possible.   Someone would have to be extremely driven to fix your broken phone specifically to look at your notes though.

  • I have an Itel based iMac on which I created a Wifi network using Airport. My iPhone5 uses the Wifi on my iMac and still works.My problem is that I can't remember the Wifi password and it is not in my Keychain.

    Read the router's user manual on how to change your password.
    If you are going to select another password, make sure it's one that you will NEVER forget AND no one else can figure it out.  Print it out & keep in a safe place.  A place that ONLY you know about AND never forget.

  • If i dropped my ipod in water would it still work???

    if i dropped my ipod in water would it still work ????????

    There are a couple of solutions to that. Most involve silica gel. Silica can be found in little packets at shoe stores and such, it absorbs water and moisture. If you set your iTouch in a bowl of it, and let it sit for 3 days, you may get it back to working.

  • Can my water damaged iPhone still be replaced under warranty if it had a problem before the water damage?

    My iPhone 5 is still under a year old and it fell in the toilet for a few seconds about 3 days ago.
    I know the apple warranty doesn't cover water damage. The liquid damage indicator in the SIM slot hasn't turned red.
    Around March this year I noticed that some faint spots appeared in my photos taken by the rear camera and I've read that this type of damage could get you an instant replacement of your iPhone, I just never got around to taking it to the apple store. I have those photos saved so I can prove that this problem happened a while ago.
    I've had my now water damaged iPhone in a rice bag for three days, however I have been charging it a little to turn it on every so often to check on it. It seems to be getting better, but the screen is still "fuzzy" and the touch is a bit "jumpy" and not as responsive as before. So I'm worried I might have damaged the screen or motherboard or something and I don't know what to do?
    If I go into the apple store and tell them about the camera problem from before would they give me a new iPhone? or will they not accept it because of the water damage?
    I really can't afford a new iPhone or a refurbished one even, so what's the best thing to do?
    thanks in advance.

    No.  Your warranty is void due to the water damage
    You can buy a replacement for $229

  • How can i erase a hard drive on a water damaged mac?

    Hey guys sorry if this is a simple question im not real computer savvy when it comes to hardware and that but anyways. MY macbook pro got water damaged recently and i got a new one and was wanting to sell my damaged one as any funds that can help to recover the cost of the purchase would be great.
    So my question, is there a way it is possible to have the hard drive erased before i sell it as it has work documents, photos etc on it. It was only the logic board that was damaged with the water so it wont turn on and what not but the hard drive itself is intact...Any help would be great thanks!

    Often when a MBP has been baptized the HDD is still intact.  If the damaged MBP can be turned on you might try target disk mode:
    https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661
    If that will not work, then take out the HDD and place it in an enclosure.  Connect it to your new Mac and then use Disk Utility>Erase.
    Ciao.

  • Water damage speaker doesnt work for music/ videos

    I was on the shower and a bit of water hit my iphone 4s specifically on the ear speaker, though it is still working ear speaker is not and cannot play music/ videos using the speaker, but I can use the speaker when talking to someone on the other line, its either that or I use and earphones.  What do I need to do?

    Put it in a container with rice, close it and pray hard that the damage isn't permanent. I know someone who had a similar situation, got lucky and their phone works perfectly. I also know another person whose phone was permanently damage.
    Also, remember it is never good for your phone to be in places like that, it can be damaged not just by accidental splashing but also by steam and overall humidity.  In short, iPhones and shower rooms don't mix.

  • Dropped phone in water and it still works.

    I dropped my phone in water for 2 seconds and it still works but should i keep it in rice just in case or can i continue using it

    Water and electronics don't mix.
    Usually when there is water damage, you power off the phone and let it sit in a bag of uncooked rice fro at least 4 to 5 days.
    The water damage is what is wrong with your phone.
    You can get an out of warranty iphone at the Apple store.

  • Deleting personal files on a water damaged mac?

    I'm selling my water damaged MacBook Pro and was just wondering if anyone knew exact key files to delete as I've removed the hard drive and used a sata drive to extract and access the files. I'm more interested in any log ins and passwords such as key chain which might be accessible. Cheers

    If you plan on putting the drive back in then just use Disk Utility and erase and format the drive.
    Then physically re-install it into the water damaged system..  As noted above supply the original DVDs (if the system was shipped with 10.6 or earlier). If the system came with Lion or later the new owner, if they get it working, can use Internet recovery to install the OS.
    You will still need to  deauthorize the computer from iTunes see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420 for directions on how to deauthorize a computer that is no longer working.

  • Does the newest Mac still work with ten year old software?

    Super basic question from a completely techno-illiterate user.
    I'm getting a latest greatest laptop in the next couple days. The last Mac I bought was a PowerBook G4 which is currently running 10.4.10.
    Does the latest operating system (sorry I don't know the new names or version numbers) still permit all the usual software I've been using for a long while ... my old MS Office software and such? Or is the latest version some new breakthrough again (like OS9 to OSX) that requires buying new software again.
    Sorry for the idiot question. My last Mac is ten years old and I don't focus on technology at all. I just use the thing for basic chores and features and to browse the web.
    Short version: I don't have to re-buy a bunch of software again if I get a new Mac, do I...? All my old software that worked under OS 10.4.10 will still work under the newest operating system?
    -JOHN

    Your old software may or may not run. Depends on each application. Unfortunately, just because an app runs on a G4 with OS X 10.4.11 does not mean it will automatically run on Snow Leopard (10.6.x).
    You will need to check with each vendor; hopefully you don't have too many to check. If you can post a (hopefully short) list of the apps you have, and their version numbers, people here can probably tell you what will be ok or not on your new Mac.
    Regarding MS Office, I would not try to install or run the original Office X on a new, Snow Leopard Mac. Office Mac 2004 may run ok, but if you have to upgrade, get Office Mac 2008. If you buy Office 2008 now, you can get a free upgrade to Office 2011 when it comes out around the end of the year.

  • Spilled Water on iphone, still works but unsure what to do.

    Hi,
    So I had a glass of water in one hand and my iphone in the other and accidentally bumped into a table last night at work, I ended up dousing the hand that was holding my iphone with water. I immediately dried the phone off and took it out of it's case. It seemed like the screen was still working and I'm not sure how much of the phone got wet, but I powered it off and now it's at home sitting in a baggie of rice. How long should I keep it in the rice before I turn it on to see if everything still works?
    Thanks

    two days will do it for sure.  chances are its ok, usually they get fried from submerging not just a spill
    peace, Clyde

  • Does "find my mac" still work on a reinstalled macbook?

    hi there. i read in a post somewhere else that a (legally) sold and freshly reinstalled mac still was popping up in the find my mac dashboard of the original owner.
    does somebody here know if this is possible or even by design? can a activated "find my mac" agent restart itself somehow again, even on a newly installed/whiped mac? thanks!

    Have them disable it prior to selling.  Simple as that!
    Have you checked into Apple's refurbished Macbook Pros?  Something to think about.

  • Model BEFW11S4 wireless router just stopped working with Mac; still works with Windows

    I have the above model Linksys wireless router, hard connected to a Windows XP Pro desktop unit. I also have a Windows XP Home laptop. My wife has a Mac PowerBook laptop. On Thursday last week her laptop started having trouble connecting to Internet. Problem is intermittent--sometimes can get on and sometimes now. When on it might connect to a web site normally or sometimes takes a long (as in loooooong) time connecting. My XP Home laptop continues to connect quickly and will move from one URL to another easily; no problems. She took the PowerBook to Panera and got on the Internet with no trouble. She was on for at least a half hour and suffered no outage or slow-downs. Came back home; got the same problems as before. Only thing that has changed is a big snow on Thursday, same day as the trouble started. The relationship is probably non-existent, but it's the only thing different from Wednesday (when working well) to Thursday (when started having trouble). Any thoughts? I naturally welcome any responses. Thanks, Michael Plog

    Hello people. I'm having the same weird trouble: I'm having this BEFW11S4 to which I connect via another wireless AP and a switch a Windows XP PC and a MacBook Pro computer (both with Ethernet cable connected to the switch, to which the AP is connected). Both the above computers work seamlessly, but sometimes the other iMac I have in WLAN doesn't surf anymore. It can ping both MacBook Pro and Windows XP PC, but doesn't anymore ping the BEFW11S4. Wireless connection is crypted with WEP-64 bit key. When this is happening, also from the Windows XP PC I cannot get on the web interface of the BEFW11S4. It seems to be "locked" somehow. After unplugging the power and re-plugging it in, everything works again also on the iMac. Anybody managed to solve this issue? What version of Firware do you guys have? I have 1.50.13... regards.
