What you should have done is immediately turn the phone off, then put it in a ziploc bag of dried rice after you wiped all visible moisture off the phone. Leave it in the ziploc bag for 3 ~ 4 days, then turn it on & hope things work OK. It may be too late to try the dry rice trick now, but you can give it a shot if you like.
Apple does have an out of warranty replacement program, cost in the US is $199 for the 4S & $149 for other models.

I have a white scrren with the apps barely visible. Is there anything I can do to reset the screen?

Try the standard fixes to rule out a softetwae problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem i is likely a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

After updating my iPod 4 and my iPhone 3gs to 5.1 it keeps turning itself off whenever I'm trying to load a larger web-page, or doing some hard operations. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Here's the instructions if you have the discs.
Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274?viewlocale=en_US
Changing your administrator password
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh655.html
Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
2. wait for terminal show
3. release keys
4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
5. press enter
6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
7. press enter
8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
9. press enter
This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
   1. Reboot
   2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
   3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
          * mount -uw /
          * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
          * shutdown -h now
   4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!

Recently purchased a Canon T5i and now my Elements 11 will not work. Just purchased this program before I updated my camera. Is there anything I can do to get it to work?

How do I get my Canon T5i to work with Photoshop Elements 11? Do I need to update? I just purchased 11 just before 12 came out so am not that anxious to purchase the new one.

Hi Kathy,
If you do have the MAC App from the Apple store, you can always download the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to convert your CR2 file to DNG files. The DNG files can then be used by PSE 11.
DNG Converter 8.4

Alternatively, you could use the Canon software (DPP) to conver the raw files to TIF files and use them in PSE 11.

I am trying to install a Kodak printer, I did this before on my previous mac book pro (before it broke) and it was all fine, now it is saying that PowerPC applications are not supported and I cannot install it. Is there anything I can do or a reason?

I think I have iOS7 not entirely sure, definitley have Mavericks

Mac OS X incudes all drivers for Printers that work with that version of OS X . If one for your printer is not included then you'll need to buy a new printer.

My screen has cracked for no obvious reason, is there anything I can do?

The warrentry says this excluded, but i haven't misused or abused it at all, is there anything I can do?

Hello,
I suggest that you bring it to the nearest Apple Shop, and see what they say.
If they are going to charge you too high for the repairing or refuse to repair it , then you can try iPodResQ at your own risk

Some cases being reported, but I cant confirm it - they get the replacement from Apple!!!

After upgrading to 7.0.4 yesterday on my iPhone 4, there are still 7 apps that are waiting to download, including Facebook. Is there anything I can do? These are apps I use frequently. Thanks.

After upgrading to 7.0.4 yesterday on my iPhone 4, there are still 7 apps that are waiting to download, including Facebook. The phone was plugged in for 12 hours and it has had a Wi-Fi connection for most of the 24 hours. Is there anything I can do? These are apps I use frequently. Thanks.

this is not phone or OS problem . its only your router DNS transfer function problem
I have resolved the problem by myself. I just figured out that the problem due to the DNS transfer function in my router. If I set the iPhone 4S to use the DNS server as 192.168.1.1 which is also the ip address of my router it will have the problem until I set the DNS to some common DNS service, such as 8.8.8.8 from Google. I think it is the problem of compatibiliy between the iOS and the router.
GOTO SETTINGS>>WI-FI>>click on informatio button(i) of your network>> change DNS to 8.8.8.8>> return
all the best........

Can I use my iPhone in the rain?

Yesterday I was with a friend who has had their iPhone 4 (White, 16GB) for around a year and a half, and it happened to be raining and they used the phone without any worries. They told me that they use it in the rain without worry and they are yet to experience any water damage.
Would it be acceptable for me to use my black iPhone 5 16GB in the rain without worrying, or is my friend just lucky?

Of course you can use your iPhone in the rain but since devices are not waterproof, nobody in their right mind would recommend it. The risk is yours and an out-of-warranty repair might cost more than a few bucks.
I highly recommend you read this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3302
And some kind of a protective casing if you insist on using the device in the rain.
Live long and prosper!

Anything that was on the phone is already gone. You have no choice but to restore. If you were backing up and syncing the phone on a regular basis, you should be able to restore your backup with minimal data loss.

No. Return it and get your money back if still within the 30 day return window. All US iPhones are carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked.

I'm trying to use FaceTime but when I try to log in, the system tries to verify and gives me a number to call Apple to complete registration. Is there anything I can do?

I'm trying to use FaceTime from my IMac OS Version 10.8.5 but when I try to log in, the system tries to verify and gives me a number to call Apple to complete registration. Is there anything I can do?

There is no official public documentation of that alert as far as I know.
If you're trying to sign in to FaceTime, try to sign in to iMessage in the Messages application, or vice versa.
Otherwise, do as the alert directs. According to reports, you won't be charged for the support call if you select "Apple ID"—not the hardware model—as the product you're asking about, and cite the "customer code" in the alert as the "validation code" when you speak to the Apple representative.
