Is there any way to get touch screen working for unit that got wet?

i recently had my ipod touch fall in water for a few seconds, and since then my touch screen will light up dimly, but is unresponsive.  the unit works for sync on my computer, as well as playing on my bose sound dock.  only the touch screen seems affected

If the liquid damage has occurred recently you should try to dry it completely before attempting to use it. Have you tried putting the iPod Touch into a bag/bowl of uncooked white rice? That would help to pull all the remaining liquid out of the iPod.
If, after that the iPod's screen is still not responsive then it's something you may need to have repaired or replaced.

  • Is there any way to get my screen repaired for free?

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.

  • Is there any way to get a replacement iPod for one that was stolen?

    My iPod was stolen and sold to someone, is there anyway to get a replacement one from apple? I've had it for only about 7 or 8 months. If it's still under protection or whatever can it get replaced or anything? I tried looking it up but couldn't find anything. Anyone know?

    Your iPod comes with a 1 year warranty which covers manufacturers defects. Unless you bought some sort of insurance specifically for your iPod or it's covered under your renter's/homeowner's insurance, they only way you're going to get a new one is to buy one. Sorry.
    Best of luck.

  • HT1349 Is there any way to get face time application for iPad that I bought from UAE?

  • Hello, is there any way of having a reboot disk for lion that I'm downloading, like the one I have with snow leopard ?

    Hello, is there any way of having a reboot disk for lion that I'm downloading, like the one I have with snow leopard ?

    Once the Lion download is complete quit the installer and follow these directions. The file you need to make a boot disk disappears after you install Lion.

    However, the Lion installation includes a recovery partition. It won't be of help if your entire HD dies but is very handy otherwise. This Knowledge Base article has a lot of good information about Lion's recovery partition.

  • Is there any way to get the appStore link for my application

    Hi everyone , i am developing an app which has a feature of sharing its appstore link with the friends through mail,so that they can see my appplication in appstore and buy it directly on click of a button. For that i need to use the app store link of my application for sending it . is there any way to get that and using it dynamically in my app immediately after releasing it.

    Your best bet would be to create a web page of your own for the app. Design that page so that it uses 'META REFRESH' to redirect the visitor straight to the App Store link.
    That way you can hard-wire your own web page address into your app.
    This has the advantage that it can work well even before you've noticed that your app has arrived on the App Store. Create a real web page, describing the app and telling people to search for it in the App Store by name - then replace it with the auto-redirect page when you've discovered your application's App Store address.

  • Is there any way to get rid of the audio message that I have unlimited minutes when I make a call? I want that 10 seconds of my life back :)

    When I make a call I get an audio message that I have unlimited minutes and then dial the number. Is there any way to get rid of that message? Because I really want to get back those 10 seconds back, Ha, Ha, not!

    Whoever thought this new search box GUI was a good idea was mistaken IMHO.
    I've used the method shown above to return it to the old constant icon/text display with instantly available drop down of my alternative chosen search engines. All back to how it was in the previous version. Yay!
    Displaying the chosen default search engine icon/text in the search box just seems a better and more sensible GUI feature to me than needing to hover over the box to show the same information (minus icon) . As for having to start entering search terms before the other search engine options become available - that is just plain ill conceived design.
    The old design is more user friendly and should be the default setting but if some users want the new GUI for the search box why not include that under Tools > Options?

  • Is there any way of getting Facetime to work with windows?

    I've just used Facetime for the first time and it worked like a dream. Is there any way Facetime can be used to phone someone with a PC using
    Windows?

    No, FaceTime uses a proprietary communications protocol that is incapatable with Windows.

  • Is there ANY way to get a signed certificate for a cert created by JSSE?

    We have tried to send Verisign certificates generated using JSSE, but they complain that the certificates are corrupted. After several conversations with them, we believe that the problem may be that not only do they require the key algorithm to be RSA, but they also require that the signature algorithm be SHA1. Well, when you specify RSA as the key algorithm, the keytool defaults to MD5withRSA as the signature algorithm.
    If you try to override that default by using -sigalg and telling it to us SHA1withDSA (which they claim they can accept) then you get this error:
    keytool error: java.security.InvalidKeyException: No installed provider supports
    this key: sun.security.rsa.RSAPrivateCrtKeyImpl
    So, is there a way to use JSSE to generate a certificate that can be signed by a CA (in this case Verisign)?
    THANK YOU!

    try using keytool as follows: keytool -keyalg
    RSA -sigalg SHA1WithRSA <the rest of the
    options...>
    I think that might be correct as someone else suggested doing that too in the security forum.
    I'll post back if it turns out to be the correct solution.

  • Is there any way of getting split screen function in firefox 4

    Being able to split screen was a very helpful feature in the previous version of firefox, however, it is not available in version 4. Is there any other way of getting this tool?

    Firefox has never had a built-in option to split the screen, such a feature is added by an extension. The only one that I know of that is compatible with Firefox 4 is Split Pannel - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/split-pannel

  • Is there any way to get a glass cover for my high res anti glare display?

    This may sound silly but I wasn't expecting the high res anti glare macbook pro to not have a glass cover over it. to many this might not be an issue, but I need to be able to use a digital drawing pen over top the surface of my monitor. My previous macbook was the first of the unibodies from 2008 and that works fine. But I guess I should have gone with the hi res glossy. So are there any solid screen protectors available or am I going to have to see about returning this computer. :|

    Why don't you instead just use a piece of rounded edge glass in the rare times when your doing that?
    Your one of the very few that has to actually draw on their screen, most use a drawing pad Walcom tablet, iPad or import a scan or image into Adobe Illustrator rather than hold their hand up to the screen for hours.
    Don't you know you can command shift 3 or 4 to snapshot a image of anything on the screen? SnapZ Pro X will record video?
    Seems to me your doing things the wrong way.
    The anti-glare MacBook Pro is awesome when you take it to various places and can still see the screen and can't adust the enviroment to suit.

  • Is there any way to get all "Explicit content" for iTunes Match?

    I am not sure if there is a way to get all explicit content on iTunes match.  It is really annoying when i want to hear a song and it is the clean version.  Any help?

    Guess you have your answer.  Maybe next time you'll read the User Guide and use the phone as recommended so this doesn't happen again.

  • Is there any way to get Siri to work via wifi through a proxy?

    I work in a school that has wifi with Internet accessible through a proxy. With my previous iPhone 3GS, I was able to get online, access the app store.. In fact, do everything on wifi except receive and send email. Now, with the 4s, I have to add Siri to that list. It works fine everywhere else (on 3G or wifi) but no joy at work. Any ideas? I do have access to the school server so if there's a sneaky server side change to make, I can :)

    We were having the same problem here at the School I work at.  By looking at some traffic logs and doing some internal testing, it appears Siri attempts to make a direct connection to the outside network using HTTPS (port 443), without using any of the proxy settings you may have configured on the Wifi network.
    We've reported it as a bug to Apple but haven't heard anything back yet.
    To get around it in the meantime you'll have to punch a hole in your firewall to allow Siri traffic through.
    Currently Siri appears to contact IP address 17.174.4.14 over port 443.  The IP address may change in the future, but that will at least get you up and going for now.  We went ahead and opened the entire 17.174.4.0/24 network, as the entire block of addressess is owned by Apple.
    Again, there is no gaurentee that this will not change in the future and break again.
    Good luck!
