    Not good advice if the device is still in warranty. If you are going to make a recommendation for someone to use a 3rd Party Repair, then it is only ethical to provide the caveat that goes along with it.

    Hello everyone! Thanks for this long and fascinating thread. It seems to be the most active one around here so I thought I'd add my question to it rather than starting a new thread, and hopefully some of you experts will be able to offer some advice.

     

    I dropped my iphone 4s down the toilet last week. I didn't bother doing any of the stuff people usually recommend, like putting it in rice whatever, because it was already a bit smashed up and I have a new one on the way, arriving tomorrow. However, I just plugged it in on the offchance before throwing it away, and lo and behold it turns on as far as the flashing apple logo screen. Unfortunately itunes and image capture don't recognise it though.

     

    My questions are as follows:

    - Can I retrieve any data from the phone in the state it's in? I would like ideally to retrieve those contacts and photos which were added after my last backup to itunes.

    - Does my itunes backup include contacts? I read a thread where people were saying very adamantly that it does not. I don't use any other system of backing up my contacts.

     

    The stakes are fairly low for me, because I last backed up to itunes fairly recently, and I didn't have any particularly important photos on there. I also have a new phone on the way given to me by a family member, so either way this isn't going to involve spending lots of money on a new phone or worrying about warranties or anything. I guess the main thing is the contacts. Oh, and the other thing to note is that I live in North Africa. On one hand, IT services are pretty cheap here; on the other there are plenty of cowboys. I know people who've been blackmailed by IT repair guys who've taken photos from their phones, eek. Luckily I don't think I have anything on my phone that anyone could blackmail me with

     

    And yes, I know I'm one of those dumb people that doesn't operate a very careful backing up policy. That will be a priority when I set up my new iphone For now, I would love some advice on how feasible it might be to retrieve the contacts & pics from my old one.

     

    Thank you in advance!
