Yesterday my Ipad got wet. It has been acting flaky since it happened. Will it improve if I let it dry out?
I'm feeling rather dumb since it happened. I had my IPad in an Otter Box to protect it. Didn't realize it was in the same bag with my water bottle. Apparently my bottle cap was loose and consequently, did its damage. I haven't attempted to charge it yet. The screen gets jittery and I can't use the keyboard. I'm trying to be patient but I'm worried it may have been permanently damaged. Any help?? Thanks.
I would NOT plug it in right now. Power it down, cover it with dry rice and let it sit for a few days...the rice will pull moisture out of the device. If you've already been using it it may recover, or the damage may already be done. HOwever if you plug it in right now you run the risk of any of that moisture causing the electricity to arc adn fry something inside.

My MBP has been acting odd since installing N wireless update.
Since installing the N wireless protocol on my MBP my machine has been acting weird. It fails to see wireless networks, the system preferences fails to open at times. OSX freezes, Force quit doesn't actually quit the programs after they have frozen. Basically its so bad i am thinking about re-formatting my machine and starting again, (its only a week old)
Am I the only one who has this?Well..that is a bummer....
I did notice something else, don't know if it makes sense or not, but if the mac crashes while connected to my Airport Express at home, the Airport Express stops responding and all of the clients that are connected to it stop getting access to the Internet until I unplug it and plug it back in.
When the issue first arose, I thought it was a problem with the AP express, but since it happens even more frequently when using other routers, I know that is not the issue. Besides, everything was fine until I installed the Wireless-N update. I wonder if there is any way to remove the update?
I'll keep playing with it, but hopefully they find a solution soon. Being that our problem is exactly the same, I would be surprised if no one else is having this issue as well.

Hi,
I work for Dr Pod, an iPod repair company. This sounds to be that the hard drive is dying in the iPod. As it is an older iPod it is out of its one year warranty, the iPod won't be repaired for free by Apple, and you'd need to consider wether it'd be better to have the iPod repaired by an iPod repair company such as my own, or to purchase a new one from Apple.
If you did choose to purchase a new iPod from Apple, then they do provide 10% off the cost of a new iPod if you exchange in your old one. I'm not sure if this applies to faulty ones though (I have heard of some people being turned away for having a faulty device).
Hope this helps,

My iPhone 4 has been acting weird since the update to iOS 5.1.1
I charged it to 100% yesterday morning and by the time I went to bed it was at 13%. I didn't do anything I don't normally do. A few games, email, check weather, sports scores; a couple hours of use.
Then this morning I was texting a buddy that's in town and when I got a response my screen just flashed on then off really quick and it make a weird static noise instead of the bell when I went to unlock the phone to read the message. Just before this I changed the volume of the ringer in settings because it sounded really high.
Has anyone else experienced anything weird since updating? I'm trying a reboot and will watch it for a while. Might be time to take it in and have it checked out.hi Allan,
Can't make or receive any calls. When making a call, you see the thing dialing but no tone, it rings at he other end however. When somebody trying to call me, it does not ring at my end. If you try to end the call, the phone page will just freeze, when you exit the phone page to go try the MP3 player for example, and come back, the phone is still trying to end the previous call. I tried resetting the network settings, turn the phone off and on , no difference at all. It's easter Sunday, everything is closed here in Montreal. -

I have an ipad that has been 'locked up' since 10 a.m. cent. time this morning! I cannot do anything to get it to shut off or reset. What do I need to do?
First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

My iPad Air wi-fi has been stolen.
Hello Apple lovers,
My iPad Air Wi-fi has been stolen. I have only the serial number.
My question is:
is there possibility to get the IMEI number if you know only the serial number?
Thanks in advance dears...Put iPad in Lost Mode
If you can’t find your device, use Lost Mode right away to lock it with a passcode, display a custom message on the screen, and keep track of its location.

Safari's website says that its browser is for PC & Mac. When ever i'm on the bookmarks site of safari or searching the web it has been freezing up since yesterday when i upgraded it the the newer version 5.1. and when i tried to reinstall or uninstall it it tells me there is already an installation in progress when actually there is no installation in progress. And i can't reinstall it or uninstall it sucessfully. Please help i like Safari. i've made it my default browser, but since i uploaded it to the newer version it has been acting very weird.
I'd like to know what the problem is cause all the prior versions of Safari have worked with no problems. Version 5.1 is the only version that seems to be having a problem with Winndows 7 even though Safari's browser says its for PC & Mac also when i go to the installation page of Safari it even lists Windows 7 has a operating system that Safari can be on.Agree with you but Apple people do not hear our claims...

Last week my iPhone 5 would only be down 5-10% in 24 hours. I mostly text and e-mail. After the 6.1 update yesterday it has been 20 hours since the last charge and it is down 60%. Something is up
Sounds like all the settings that you may have adjusted to save power (screen brightness etc etc) have been defaulted back to factory.
If you jump into all the settings and turn off what you dont need and turn down what you do need it will be the same as before.
Worked for me
