What do i do when i dropped my phone into the water and i cant get my phone to work again

what do i do when i dropped my phone into water and i cant get it to work again. i tried rice and left in the rice all night and it still wont work. so do i have ti get a new phone?

You make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and get an out of warranty replacement. Over night wasn't nearly long enough. Try more like 5 days to a week. But since you've tried to power it on while still damp, it's undoubtedly cooked now.

    i need help i drop my cell in the water and it show me no sim i buy a new sim. but the seim it show me no sim . what can i do?

        aredina, It's disheartening to learn that your phone was dropped. When a device is exposed to water, it's very common to receive error messages such as "No SIM". It sounds like the SIM card slot or copper readers may be damaged. Have you covered your phone with insurance http://vz.to/o9N7Nb? If so you can file a claim, here  http://bit.ly/07CrqPK. We're happy to examine your phone for you at any of our local stores http://bit.ly/3SdsA , as well.

    I guess your definition of "solved" is different from most...

    Hi there kburgee! Other can be anything from App Data (information saved from apps like game progress, or passwords) to or old messages that you haven't deleted! The absolute best way to clean up some space is to restore your iPhone.

  • I have an app in my app store that is requiring an update but I never purchased the app and when I click update, another apple ID pops up that is not mine.  Now i keep getting reminders to update the app and I cant get rid of it from the app store.  Help.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • I dropped my iPhone in the water and the touchscreen stopped working.

    I dropped my iPhone in the water and the touchscreen stopped working. After drying it out for a few days I had the LCD replaced, but the touchscreen is still not working. What do I do?

    Why don't you ask that question of the person who performed the uncertified service?

    Turn it off and put it in a bag of rice for 5-7 days.  You may get lucky.

    how do I get data off  my phone? when I plug phone into the wall and hold down the button i can get into photos and messages etc but when I plug into laptop it goes to recovery mode........therefore the data is not yet wiped? HELP! I got married last week on holidays and have not had a chance to save photos yet.

    Hello there stidhambr15,
    I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

  • HT1688 my phone just shut off and i cant get it back on, what do i do?

    my phone just shut off and i cant get it back on....what should i do?

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If nothing, Reset while connected to charger, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both button while on charger.

  • A iPhone 4S (currently in possession of it) was dropped into the ocean and we can get it into DFU and recovery mode, but we can't get it to go to the lock screen or home screen the phone just gets stuck on the apple symbol, how can I fix this?

    Hey, apparently this iPhone 4S was dropped into the ocean and the light for the camera and a light where the 3G/4G bar is are both glowing. The iPhone 4S, I assume, was on iOS 5.1.1 I need help getting off info from it WITHOUT RESTORING IT. I'm not sure if Apple has any third party apps that they are allowed to suggest to us or if I'm on my own on this one, but if you guys can help I would greatly apperciate it.
    Thanks!

    Those are definitely features of liquid damage. First step after completely drying the iPhone would be battery replacement. The camera circuitry and proximity sensor circuitry are surging because you are seeing these lights.
    New battery may get this booted back up so you can recover data, or even get the iPhone working again.

  • What do you do when you can't connect to the internet and you get this message XUl Runner after you click on the icon to open Mozilla? Then it says error platform'1.9.2.16 is not campatible wwith minVersion =1.9.2.17 maxVersion 1.9.2.17

    I can't get the internet to open and when you click on the icon to open firefox the above message is displayed and I don't know how to fix what is causing the error.

    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • When I plug my ipod into the USB and into my computer it doesn't show in itunes?

    The USB doesn't seem to have anything wrong with it and my ipod is also fairly new. I received it in December of 2011. I dropped it less than a week ago and it the screen is cracked but not completely. There is about an inch or so missing from my top right corner of the screen and after I dropped it, it still seemed to work properly it's just when i plug it into my computer it won't connect to itunes. It does charge on my ihome though. Does anybody know how i can fix this? Please and thank you!

    After a short time the iPod's screen should automatically go off? Does that happen?
    Cover the iPod with something so the screen light does not bother yuu
