What can I do if I microwave my iPhone?

I made the idiotic decision of microwaving my iPhone 5 - only for four seconds, but nonetheless it has caused my phone to lose its wifi and phone service... it only shows "No Service" in the top left corner and I don't know what to do. I feel like a complete idiot for believing these stupid Internet rumors and my phone is literally my only working device. I don't know if I could afford a replacement or how to fix this. Please, can anybody at all help me?

I agree with Tim. Never underestimate the extent of human stupidity.
"What do you mean I shouldn't charge my phone in the bathroom while taking a steamy hot shower?"
"I flushed my phone down the toilet. A couple of days later, it washed back up. Can you fix it?"
"Show me where it in the owners manual it says that you shouldn't expose the phone to water. If you can't, then it's under warranty." To that one, I pointed out the owners manual doesn't say don't run over it with a car but that doesn't mean that the manufacturer will honor the warranty if you do.

    Hi everyone, I had this problem but none of the solutions above worked. What happened with me, and with others in other forums, is that a particular thread or message was causing the problem. I'd go to open the message and all I'd get was a white screen with the blue bar at the top. So, I went into contacts, pressed 'send message' to a contact whose message wasn't causing the problem, then I pressed back to messages. You then swipe to the left on the thread that's causing the problem, and delete it. Sadly this means you will lose all that person's messages, but you can try opening it from there and deleting it on the thread. Didn't work for me though. Hope that helps! It was the only thing that worked for me after about three days of total frustration and resetting!

    what can i send my pictures from my iphone to my computor

    Hello binhajj,
    It sounds like you are trying to transfer photos from your iPhone to your computer.  There are several ways you can do this.
    First, you can directly connect your iPhone to your computer using your USB cable to import photos.  The following article outlines the steps to import photos using this method:
    iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
    Alternatively, you can set up iCloud on your iPhone and your computer, and use My Photo Stream to import the photos automatically: 
    What do I need to use My Photo Stream?
    To use My Photo Stream you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Apple TV Software Update 5.0 or later
    PC with Windows 7 or later and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
    For complete iCloud setup instructions, visit How to set up iCloud.
    How do I turn on My Photo Stream?
    After your devices are up-to-date and you have set up your iCloud account, it’s easy to turn on My Photo Stream on any of your devices:
    iOS devices: Go to Settings > iCloud > Photos (Photo Stream in iOS 6), then turn on My Photo Stream.
    Mac: Go to System Preferences > iCloud, then select the checkbox for Photos (or Photo Stream). Click the Options button and verify that the My Photo Stream checkbox is selected. Open the application you want to use with Photo Stream (iPhoto or Aperture) and confirm that My Photo Stream is turned on in that application. You can also adjust your My Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.
    PC: Open the iCloud Control Panel for Windows and select the checkbox for Photos (Photo Stream in iCloud Control Panel 2.x). You can click the Options button to verify that My Photo Stream is enabled and adjust the settings. Be sure to click Apply when done.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    Lastly, if you are just wanting to transfer a few photos, you can use the steps in the following resource to email the photos from yourself to yourself so that you can access them on your computer:

  • HT1766 Hi! I upgrade my iPhone 5 from ios 7.1 to 7.1.1. When it finished I wanted to restore with my backup but iTunes says that it can't because incompatible or corrupted. What can I do then to restore my iPhone?

    Hi!
    I upgrade my iPhone 5 from ios 7.1 to 7.1.1.
    When it finished I wanted to restore with my backup but iTunes says that it can't because incompatible or corrupted.
    What can I do then to restore my iPhone?

    Backups are only used for restoring iPhones via iTunes.
    If you desire to go about another method for extracting data from a backup, use google to find out how (if possible) to make that happen.

  • I wanted to reset all settings in my phone, but it requires passcode. I forgot it, unfortunately. What can I do? I am using iphone 5s.

    I can't add video on instagram. It always fails. I read on the web that i shoul reset all settings. So I wanted to reset all settings. But it requires passcode. I forgot that passcode. What can I do? Is it possible to change that passcode?

    To change the passcode if you have forgotten it the only option is to Restore your iPhone to Factory settings by connecting it to iTunes on your computer. And you can try the below steps to Reset your iPhone settings without need of any passcode.
    Reset ( No Data will be lost )
    First Make sure the Battery of your iPhone is Charged and then press and Hold the On/Off switch (On top  of your iPhone) and the Home Button (Button at the bottom of your iPhone screen). Hold both the keys simultaneously for atleast 10 to 15 seconds and you should see an Apple Logo coming up on your screen, once you see the Apple logo you can then release both On/Off switch and Home button and wait for your iPhone's Home screen.
    After your iPhone is Reset try to do what you were trying and see if it works or else you will have to Backup your iPhone and then Restore your iPhone to fix your issue as Restoring device fixes many of the issues

  • What can i do to fix my broken iphone 5 screen

    My iphone 5 screen is broken/cracked.  what can I do? i do not have insurance and wanted to know what options I have to repair it.

    Here you go:
    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 5
    $229
    iPhone 4S
    $199
    iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
                     iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
    $149
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. 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-authorization 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.
         Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare service contract coverage, whichever is longer. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details

  • TS3991 What can i do it through find my iPhone?

    If my iPhone has been stolen and i don't want the people that took my iPhone to see the contents of the phone. what can i do to erase the data on the phone? Like through "find my iPhone"? What can i do to erase or completely lock my iPhone without me touching the phone

    If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in Settings>icloud), and if the device's batteries still have a charge, the device is not turned off and has not been reset and is connected to wifi, then you can try to track it and lock it.  Using a computer, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page.  On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account.
    If the device is listed as "offline", then one of the requirements listed above is not met (like being connected to wifi, or if the device was stolen and the thief reset it).
    AND, always use a passcode that must be used when a user first opens the device.  It may seem like a pain at first, but you get used to it.

    > Plug your iPhone in
    > Go to iTunes.
    > Go to the summary page
    > Tick this computer then go to back up now.
    > Once done, to make sure your phone has backed up properly go to the top left thing and a drop down menu appears click preferences, then devices and it should come up with your iphone device and a time stamp.
    > Go back to the summary page click restore back up (it will most likely ask for you to turn off find my iphone, do that) then click restore back up again.
    > Wait for it to do its thing, your phone is fully back to how it works but with imessage enabled through your phone number and not through your apple ID
