I updated my iPod to iOS6 now it won't work in my car...HELP!?!?

I did the latest update, everything seemed fine, then went and plugged connected it to my car (2012 Maxima) hit play tried to move to the next song and all of a sudden it didn't work. Then I plugged in an iPod that wasn't updated and it worked just fine. HELP!?!?

You can try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is 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 settings/new iPod.
However, sometimes an iOS update breakes compatibility with car systems. I would also contact the car manufacturer.

I dropped my iPod Touch and now it won't come on without it being connected to a charger but it won't charge either...

So I was in the bathroom, cleaning my iPod case, and I accidentally dropped my unprotected iPod Touch from about two or three feet up.
I picked it up and tried to turn it on, but it would not work.
I freaked out and went to my charger in my room and connected my iPod to it, and soon the Apple logo came on and it turned on.
I was relieved, but the time was set to the wrong time, so I set the time to the right one, and took the charger out.
As soon as I pulled the connecting cable thing out, my ipod went black and wouldn't turn on again.
It's not charging either, as the symbol on the battery up in the upper right corner doesn't have the lightning symbol, but the symbol that looks like the part of something that uses electricity that you plug into the concent (or whatever that is called)
And when I connect it to the computer, the apple logo comes on, then goes black, then comes on and keeps on doing that, and it will not show on iTunes.
I have tried pressing the home and off buttons for 10 seconds to reset it, and turned it on and off... but my iPod just will not charge OR turn on without being connected to the charger.
Are there any more things I could try, or will I have to go to Apple and get it fixed??

I would not waste any more time. If a reset did not fix it, and given what you describe, it sure sounds like a hardware issue.
The bad news is that accidental damage is not covered under warranty, so you may have to pay for an out of warranty exchange.
Do you have a recent backup to restore from if you end up with a refurbished exchange unit? If not, ask the Apple folks to try and recover and transfer what is on there now at least, before you surrender the damaged one to them.

Dropped iphone4 in water and now camera won't work. help?

i dropped my iphone4 in the sink and it wouldn't work for three days. magically it turned on last night after i plugged it in the charger (i know your not supposed to do that but obviously it worked) but anyways everything is working exactly as it should except my camera is completely messed up. if i press the app for my camera it wont even open the camera at all. so what do i do? i know the apple protection plan does not cover water damage but my phone is working just not the camera. would that be covered? i just need some answers before i call my phone company tomorow

Accidental damage is not covered under the warranty in any shape, form, or fashion.
Having the iPhone powered on and trying to make it work while there is any internal moisture is what causes damage.

My husband dropped his phone in water now it won't turn but when you switch the lock button the side it vibrates and we have been charging it and it's getting warm?? is there any way to retreive the information on without turning it on? Is their a memory

I really need help with this question. Can someone please shed some light on this subject.

Let it dry thoroughly in a very dry environment for a couple of days and then try to charge it for more than 15 minutes. Then try to power it on again. I did the same and after two days my phone turned on and although I could not make calls or use data, and the screen was erratic, I was able to connect to iTunes with my Mac and do a backup of both contacts and stuff like photos, settings, etc. afterwards I was able to restore my new iPhone from the backup and I got almost everything back including notes.

My iOS used to update before I reset my ipod 3g, but now it won't. Help?

Before I had reset my iPod completely, it was working perfectly with the IOS updating well, but after I rest it, it went back to the lowest iOS possible, and it will not let me update again since there is no sign that I should update. And now I can't download anything because everything is iOS 4.3 or higher. And I'm selling this iPod soon, to a friend and I really don't want it to not let her download music from her iTunes account like it did to me, and I also want it to actually update when I reset it again for her.
What's wrong with it? And I cant go to a Apple Store and get it troubleshooted since I don't have enough money.
It also will not let me download any music onto it.

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
You also said: "It also will not let me download any music onto it." What happens when you try to sync music to the iPod?

I updated my ipod touch and now it won't work but itunes says everything is fine. What should I do?

I was updating my itouch that I got in September to the IOS 5 and everything went fine until the end of the update when it was creating a new back-up of the information on the itouch. When I saw that it didn't work and it told me to restore the previous bakc-up I tried that, but nothing happened. Itunes was doing a lot of work but my ipod touch didn't show that anything was happening. My ipod touch wants me to go back through the set up and when it gets to the part where you can restore a previous back-up I tell it to do that. The problem then is that it tells you to connect it to itunes and I do but the itouch doesn't seem to realize that it is plugged into itunes. Then I try to restore the old back-up form itunes and it immeadiately pops up saying htat it can't because of error: ipod (-50).

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 another cable
- 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.

- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

You broke it, you will need to get it serviced or replaced. The drop voided your warranty so you would have to do an out-of-warranty replacement with Apple.
Please don't type in headline style, i.e. capitalizing every word.

Okay well i dropped my ipod in water saturday night and i was wondering if apple would be able to give me a replacement on my ipod4g

okay well i dropped my ipod in water on saturday and was wondering if apple would be able to give a replacement?

The Apple warranty does not cover accidental damage. The ipod has a liquid contact indicator installed in it, so they will know that your device was "dunked". So, you will have to pay the repair price to have it replaced. The following link should give you the amount you will need to pay for your model of ipod.

If i dropped my ipod in water would it still work???

if i dropped my ipod in water would it still work ????????

There are a couple of solutions to that. Most involve silica gel. Silica can be found in little packets at shoe stores and such, it absorbs water and moisture. If you set your iTouch in a bowl of it, and let it sit for 3 days, you may get it back to working.
