What are my options considering my phone is pretty much dead?

So today I was carrying my MacBook and my iPhone through my bathroom while txting at the same time. A little slip of the hand and next thing I know my iPhone is in the toilette and I am scrambling to get it out. A few hours later and my phone has gone from originally just not having sound coming from the external speakers to being completely unfunctional. My contract doesn't end until early February, and considering they won't just give me another iPhone 3G, what are my options as far as having to buy a new phone? Would I keep the same contract (I don't want to be locked in for another 2 years with the 3G)? Should I look into going ahead and upgrading to the new iPhone 4? If so, what would I have to pay as far as a termination fee is concerned?
I know its a lot of questions, but any help is appreciated.
Thanks

My iPhone 3G was "damaged" (result = the wifi stopped working) and out of warranty. When I went to the Apple store, they said they had a "hardware replacement program" and it would cost me 229$. That was only a month ago, so I am waiting to see what happens here(Canada) in terms of the 4. Perhaps, there is something similar in your area.

What are the options if one iPad was stolen last week and Apple created a bug which the burglar can turn off "Find My Phone"?

Last week, my gf was stolen and lost her iPad. I thought that everything was lost because "Find My Phone" didn't manage to track the iPad location so the police could do something.
Today, I ended up reading this article (http://9to5mac.com/2014/04/03/ios-7-bug-allows-anyone-to-disable-find-my-iphone- and-bypass-activation-lock-without-a-password/) which tells me that the iOS 7.1 presents a bug where someone can deactivate the "Find My Phone" function without the password.
What are the options here so I can rehave the stolen iPad, which Apple helped the burglar to keep it or even sell it?
Appreciate your cooperation

Apple didn't "help the burgler" do anything. Did she have a passcode on the device? If so, the thief would not have been able to access any of the functions needed to disable Find My Phone. Also, if the device doesn't show up in iCloud's Find My Phone, it may be that it is simply turned off, or not connected to a network.

Buying New Phone but Contract can't yet what are my options???

Okay I dropped my phone in some water and had to find a replacement it is a razor but being it was given to me there are issues with it... The phone changes settings on its own and I can't access VM called Verizon and they can't help with changing it and the one that is in the phone is unknown. Talke with Verizon and then Tech Support and they did nothing and said they have no way to know what it is did a master reset and so on.
So here is my question being the contract the phone is under does not allow new phones till December and I can't extend the contract being it is a business phone what are my options? From what I learned buying just a phone from Verizon is a costly one, and if you buy one from an online source the two I got where prepay only and not able to be used on an existing contract.
If I take my replacement used phone to a Verizon Store can they get the Pin number out of? I know they are there to sell you a new phone and want you to extend your contract . The cost of a "NEW" Phone is in the hundereds of dollars when you get it for next to nothing when you sign a contract.
Is there any good place I can get a "New Phone and reactivate it as a replacement and know what the pins are being the one I have now though used Verizon can't not hop[ena dn since it turns off the ringer now and then I miss calls and get vms I can get.
Any suggestions or just go and buy a new phone whatever the best cost is and be done with this???
ANy information on what I can do seems that Verzion can only help so far via the phone and going to a store from what I have experienced and heard is requiring an contract extension and then you get a new phone for a better price. Which again I can not do.
Just looking for some good information on wat the options are???

Thanks, Looks like I am stuck with the current phone even though no one at Verizon can assist me in getting the pin for the vm feature. As for ebay I contacted 2 sellers that stated their phones were good to be used on Contract the first one I got I called attempted to activate it and they told me it could only be used as a "PrePaid" Phone. I had to return it and the seller want me to end the transaction as if his listing was valid even though it stated could be used on a existing contract. Being he was also in Michigan I got it within a few days but then had to return it. Seems many list their phones like this but when you contact them and ask they kind of side step it and the auction ends. This seller had good feedback maybe because some don't leave any because of the same issue. I looked at whast the phones are listed at an 300 + unless you sign an additional 2 years which I can't do being it is a company phone and paying twice is also not worth it using it as a prepaid phone for 6 months...
Looks like they got you anyway so I will just have to continue getting vms and no access and hope the phone lasts until they can get new ones...
Sad fact is there should be a better way to get a replacement phone. Since I don't know any Verizon Dealers when I had another carrier the guy was great he would do anything including rebuild a doa phone with parts he collected as people upgrade but at Verizon they just want you to "upgrade" and "extend" the contract Which I am not the admin person to make that decision
Guess you have to know someone and I don't...
Such is life these days...At least for me....

HT201210 I was in the middle of installing the new update using the wifi at a local restaurant when I lost the wifi signal and my iPhone shut down, and now I can't get into the phone. I only get the iTunes logo with the cable pic. What are my options now?

Your only option is to connect your iPhone to your computer via USB (as the diagram indicates) and restore using iTunes.

You will have to see if it's eligible for out of warranty serivce
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/contact/
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
iPhone model
Out-of-Warranty Service
iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
$199
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if you arrange service online or by calling Apple Technical Support. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.
When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorisation for the maximum service fee listed above. This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.

I have an old Imac G4 from 2003. I haven't used it in years, but I would like to start. What are my options for getting it up to date? Is it even worth the trouble/cost? I was hoping to at least get it running Snow leopard, if not Lion. Options?

I have an old Imac G4 from 2003. I would like to start using it again, however it is so out of date and runs too slowly. What are my options to update it? I really don't want to invest a ton of money - I might as well get a new one, so if there are any reasonable ways to get it to run Snow Leopard or even Lion, please help. I've also considered using a mac mini? Is that worth it either? I'm not sure which way to go here. I don't want to trash it, I feel like it can be a great computer if updated.

Presumably it is running tiger 10.4.11?
It may be able to run Leopard 10.5:
Leopard system requirements:

But that is as far as the old PPC Macs can go, and Leopard can cost up to $200 on Amazon.

I'm so screwed....What are my options?

My iPhone fell out of my pocket tonight and almost completely flushed down the toilet....I got it out and now it's buried inside a bowl of rice inside a ziploc baggie BUT....
There are no other phones available right now. It's only been a few hours but I feel sooo lost without it. Its my alarm clock, I listen to it to fall asleep at night, and actually...I'm on vacation and I'm now without my contacts or anything.
What are my options? I'm not a rule breaker so I don't want to get a unlocked one...too scared of "the man". LOL
Any other ideas out there?
WWYD?

Is there an AT&T store around? AT&T will sell you a new, standard, bottom of the barrel cell phone for $40.00 that you can return for a full refund within 30 days (plus, there's no activation fee). Apparently, AT&T has a plan in place for those that are without a cell phone b/c of repair issues. I'd just let them know that Apple is currently fixing your iPhone and that they're out of stock and could not give you a loaner iPhone while yours is being repaired. It's worth a shot. Plus, if you're a good customer (been with them for a while, always pay your bill on time, etc.), they should help you out... Hope this helps .

What are some options, in case someone has stolen my device

I need help, my iPod has been stolen, what are some options u recommend me to do, I have tried to located with "find my phone app" but it only tells me is offline, responds as soon as possible

Not really much
lost/stolen
No app is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If off-line/not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
- iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number

I still have 1 year left on my contract, what are my options to upgrade?

I have an iPhone 5S that I purchased last October. I still have 1 year left to go before I am out of the contract. I really want the new iPhone 6 Plus, mostly because of the bigger screen. What are my options? I read you can trade-in an iPhone 5S and get $300 credit or it will go towards the purchase of a new phone (iPhone 6 Plus) + 2 year contract. Is this possible? If not, what are my options for ditching this phone? Can you ditch the phone itself (and upgrade it) while still keeping the contract you are currently under? Maybe I can turn in my phone for the credit towards the new phone, and still be 1 year into the contract?
Sorry I find all the upgrade info confusing

In short the only option you have is trade in your 5s for the $300 gift card and the buy the 6+ for $749.99 if you're getting the 16GB model, you won't be able to get the discounted pricing for that phone unless you add a line to your account or you're eligible for an upgrade which as you have said you're not.

I am an American living in France and I water damaged my iPhone4s what are my options?

I am living in Europe for 6 months and recently water damaged my iPhone and it will not turn on. What are my options and can i simply just take it to the nearest apple store?

Yes go to the Apple store.
There you will be able to purchase a new phone.
Try keeping the new one dry.

What are the settings in i phone 4s for connecting internet in mobile data ?

what are the settings in i phone 4s for connecting internet in mobile data ?

Did you ever get a reply to this. I have the same problem. I have the same problem when even when I reply to an email... no photo shows up in my new reply message. The only way I have figured out is to use the "forward" option.
But this still does not solve the problem when people email me back... I have no idea what photo they are speaking of. Instead of a photo... there is a <photo name of some sort>.
Let me know if you ever hear on this one.
Many thanks.

What are my options for a data plan + upgrade?

So my old phone (Samsung Intensity) broke today, and I'm looking to upgrade to a smartphone. I would prefer an iPhone, but really it's not that big of a deal if I get a Droid. I'm eligible for an upgrade currently. What are my options for a smartphone and a data plan? I'm looking for what's the cheapest option as far as this goes. People tell me an iPhone is free with an upgrade, and that the cost is $20 a month, but I just want to be sure.

Unless you have an old calling plan, you should be able to add a tiered data plan for your new smartphone (i.e., $30 for 2 GB). If you switched to the Share Everything plan, your monthly cost would be $40 line access + at least $50 for 1 GB data (includes unlimited minutes/texts and mobile hotspot, although the hotspot data usage comes out of your data plan), plus, of course, taxes/fees (and insurance, if applicable).
You can check pricing for phones via your on-line MyVerizon account if you click on the Upgrade button. If you are mainly interested in free phones (keep in mind that there's a $30 upgrade fee), there's the Nokia Lumia 822, Spectrum 2, Droid Razr M, iPhone 4, Galaxy Stellar, Marauder, Rhyme, and the Lucid. Several of those are 3G phones.

TS1702 I bought on Ebay Iphone 3G S Unlocked AT&T, but I need to work for Simple moble. I made mistake to purchased. What are my options.

Hi,
I purchased Iphone 3 GS 32mb, from Ebay it says unlocked AT& T. But I want use it for simplemoble. My carrier told to it should be GSM. How I can use it now.
What are my options.
I did update to IOS 6.1.3.

If it is unlocked you can use it on any GSM carrier. However, it is unlikely to be unlocked if purchased from eBay since most "unlocked" phones on eBay are scams.

Isync and nokia 6102i what are my options?

trying to sync to cell phone. found out can not use my cell and I sync. Now the really funny part......... I already deleted ALL the contacts from my cell phone. hehehehehe.... fact of my life. but i do have backup on pc. just hate to go backwards.
what are my options to get address book to sync to nokia 6102i.
thank you.

Hi there...
Ok, i will try to help. I think you are backed up using the address book and im fairly sure you can use isync to get the contacts back on to your phone. If you go into the address book and go to preferences and tick the synchronize with exchange box and then configure it. Then go to isync and try syncing devices...Im pretty sure this should work. Good Luck!!

Ipad does not use flash player. What are my options?

What are my options since ipad does not use flash player?

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
1. Puffin
2. SkyFire
3. Photon Flash
4. Browse2Go
5. Swifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."
