If/when it is dry
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer                            
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 16 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

    Thanks

    I do not understand what "it says in the windows connect to itunes" means?
    What is "it" and what is "windows"?
    Maybe:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

    you're going to have to check the version number again, there is no v11.04, the latest is v6.0.5

  • How do I keep the iPod Touch from people resetting it/putting it in DFU mode?

    I have iPod Touch 5th Gen. iOS 6.1.3 again.I'm having surgery this week.My question is How do I keep the iPod safe from people doing stuff like putting it in DFU mode,resetting my stuff,etc. because I don't want people to get on my stuff while I'm having 1 hour/30 minutes of surgery?
    Also,the surgery is just 1 hour/30 minutes.

    Besides locking in a safe or giving it to a trusted person, all you can do is use a complex screen-lock passcode to protect your personal information. Someone still can erase the iPod by placing in recovery mode and restoring via iTunes but they will have to enter your ID and password to use the erased iPod

  • I clicked block in youtube trying to disable an ad on the video, but now videos won't play at all. I checked my adblock plus preferences and youtube isn't listed as blocked. Help please!

    At youtube's home page, thumbnails for videos show up, but when I go to the video itself, it just shows up as a black rectangle. Videos embedded on other sites aren't working either.

  • I have two iPod videos and one iPod touch, 1st generation. The internal battery died in the iPod videos, and the memory in the iPod touch is too little to put all my songs on it. Can I get credit for any of these iPods or possible get a reconditioned iPod

    ?

    The only "credit" from Apple for used iPods is the Recycling Program, which gives you 10% off the purchase of a new iPod (at an Apple Store).
    There are third-party businesses, such as Gazelle.com. that pays for used iPods.
    Apple offers "certified" refurbs, with full warranty, at a reduced price

  • If i rent a movie through itunes, but do not transfer to ipad how can i download it to ipad without itunes and not be charged again?

    I rented a movie via itunes and downloaded it to itunes at the time of rental.  i was unable to transfer it to my ipad while connected to itunes due to a size constraint...i now have room on my ipad but am not near my itunes computer (2500 miles away), is it possible to download the movie directly from the iTunes Store to my ipad without having to rent it again and be charged a second time?
    please advise.
    thanks

    No, rentals are only allowed to be on 1 device at a time, so you would need to move it from the computer to the ipad. This applies to rentals from the computer, if rented on a device (ipad) it is only viewable on that ipad and cannot be transferred elsewhere.

  • HT201401 battery is not holding a charge i can see it going down with phone off and sitting on my desk, no apps are opened.

    My battery charge is not lasting.  No apps are being used or opened.  The phone is losing power without using it.  It is sitting on my desk not being used and is now reading 58%.  Fully charged at 100% this morning (8:00).  Help!!!!!!

    1. Plug phone into AC adaptor and charge for at least 30 minutes
    2. If not on, reset phone: press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
    If no reponse to above, there is hardware damage and you need to take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

  • Can the iPod Touch be a Phone?

    Hello-
    I am looking for a camera that can take HD videos.  I thought well, duh, what about the iPod Touch.  I read a post that some guy called his friend from his iPad Touch.  Is the iPod Touch a Phone too?  what carrier does it use?  Does the iPod Touch  have 3G,4G any type of wifi?  How does one get this hooked up?  Is it hard to get hooked up to the internet using the iPod Touch?
    thanks

    I am looking for a camera that can take HD videos....
    Just for awareness, the camera in the iPod Touch is less than one megapixel.  It does 720p video, but still photos are not the greatest.
    ...I read a post that some guy called his friend from his iPad Touch.  Is the iPod Touch a Phone too?...
    And also for awareness, there is a product which attaches to the iPod Touch to give you cellular voice capabilities and (slow) internet.  Since that product does require you to jailbreak your iPod Touch it can't be discussed further here.

    Hi Gammer576775!
    Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue with your iPod touch:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2771
    Will not power on, or will not turn on unless connected to power
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Connect the iPod touch to an Apple USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if the display turns on and…
    The home screen appears, the device should be working. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen: . Then disconnect the device from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears even after the iPod touch has charged for at least 20 minutes: See the "iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or low-battery image appears , continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPod touch did not turn on, reset it while connected to an Apple USB power adapter. If the display turns on, go to step 4.If the display remains black, go to the next step.
    Restore the device. Connect it to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes it and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPod touch. If the device doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring it, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPod touch resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring it did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • When will the pice go down for the iPod touch 5th generation

    When will the iPod touch 5th generation lower its price

    apple pretty much keeps their prices set where they are. Sometimes you may see 'old' models being discounted a bit after a new one is released...but that's not universal. Sometimes it doesn't happen.
    As to when there will be an iPod 6....only Apple knows. And they ain't tellin. (not to mention that speculation about apple stuff is a forbidden topic so nothing anyone here can do)

  • When will the ipod touch 5 become available in stores?

    When will the Ipod touch 5 become available to buy in stores? When will apple release the date?

    "When will the Ipod touch 5 become available to buy in stores? "
    Apple has announced October.  They have announced NOTHING else.
    "When will apple release the date?"
    there is no way to know wuch a thing.
