Accidentally dropped my iPod Touch 2G in a puddle.

So today I was listening to music on my iPod Touch 2G when I accidentally was nudged by a person and that made me drop my iPod. It fell into a muddy puddle and now it no longer functions. I remember my music teacher saying that she traded her old iPod Touch because it wasn't functioning for a 5th gen one for $50. She said the person that serviced her didn't even ask her what was the problem and just immediately traded the old iPod as they no longer provided service for it. Would I be able to do the same thing and if not, how do I get my old iPod fixed?

Apple will give you a 10% recycling discount if you turn in an old iPod when you purchase a new one.

    They can fix it at the Apple Store. I wish you could get it fixed for free, but the warranty doesn't cover accidents like this . It sounds like you understand this, I just want to make sure you know.

    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.

  • I dropped my iPod Touch in a puddle on a camping trip and I sent it to the Pod Drop.  I just want to get the pix of my family(I have no copies of them) from the device.Do pix from the iPod Touch save in iTunes when it Syncs?  If so how do I find them?

    I dropped my iPod Touch in a puddle on a camping trip and I sent it to the Pod Drop.  I told them that I am only concerned about getting the photos of my family and friends from the device.  I know that all of the songs are saved in iTunes on my computer.  They told me that they were not able to retrieve the pictures from my device.  I recently sync'ed my iPod Touch before it broke.  Do the photos that I save on my iPod Touch save to iTunes or to my computer when I sync the device?  If so, how do I retrieve those pictures from iTunes or from my computer?
    Also, if I buy a new iPod Touch how can I transfer my songs from iTunes to the new device? 
    Thanks!
    Luke

    Photos taken by and saved to the iPod are included in the backup that iTunes makes evetime you sync or if do a manual or iCloud backup.
    Per the following the backup includes:
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    Camera Roll (Photos, screenshots, images saved, and videos taken. Videos greater than 2 GB are backed up with iOS 4.0 and later.)
    Note: For devices without a camera, Camera Roll is called Saved Photos.
    Thus if you backed up after the photos were taken yuo can restore an iDevice from that backup

  • The other day I dropped my iPod touch and the screen cracked and my warranty is up how do i get it fixed. Do I order an screen and have Apple repair it of do I have to

    The other day I dropped my ipod touch and the screen cracked and my warranty is up how do I get it fixed. Do I buy a screen and bring it to Apple to repair od do I have to repair it. Please help me

    Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair". Some places also will sell parts and instructions for doing the repair yourself, but the connectors and parts are delicate and it's easy to cause further damage, so attempt this only if you are confident in your skills.
    Regards.

  • I dropped my ipod touch and now it wont charge

    I dropped my ipod touch and now it wont charge. When I plug it in to charge it just keeps going off and on.

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - 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.

  • My daughter dropped her iPod Touch and cracked her screen...do the Apply Stores repair this and for how much?

    My daughter dropped her iPod Touch on cement and shattered the screen.  It still works, but I am afraid it won't for long.  I do not want to attempt a repair myself...does the Apply Store do this type of replacement/repair and for how much?  I spent over $300 on this thing and I'm not buying another one.  Thanks.

    The home owner's policy may so give it a shoot.
    The apple warranty which only covers material defects does not cover abuse which is what Apple will classiy dropping it as.

  • I was in Aussie last month and dropped my iPod Touch (4th Gen) on the road. The screen was cracked on the top left-hand corner. The screen got fixed but the wireless stopped working. Can I still get it fixed under my warranty? (bought last July)

    I was in Aussie last month and dropped my iPod Touch (4th Gen) on the road. The screen was cracked on the top left-hand corner (where the wireless area is). The screen got fixed but the wireless stopped working. So I am wireless-less... I bought it last July and its still under warranty, but can I still claim a repair on it?

    No because it was physical damage

  • I dropped my iPod touch 4 generation on my kitchen tile and it shattered, like chunks of the screen are coming off. But everything works and I've had it for a 1 ½ years now. I don't have the extended warranty or anything but can I get it replaced somehow

    I dropped my iPod touch 4 generation on my kitchen tile and it shattered, like chunks of the screen are coming off. But everything works and I’ve had it for a 1 ½ years now. I don’t have the extended warranty or anything but can I get it replaced somehow? if anyone knows anything please let me know. thank you!

    Depending on the extent of the damage, Apple may replace the iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:

    There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to repair the iPod for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPod serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further warranty will be void.
    Regards.

  • I literally JUST dropped my iPod touch 4g 8gb it cracked the screen

    I can still see but there is a big crack going from bottoms to top with smaller cracks. Is there any way I can get a new free one? It fell out of my sweatshirt pocket

    Buttbubblebuster,
    I think that it depends on how long you have had your iPod. I dropped my iPod touch (also 4th generation and 8GB) and there were major screen cracks. I got it last September and the drop was last month. I got a refurbished model for $99.
    Hope this helps,
    O.C.
    P.S. Make sure to buy a good case. I recommend the Griffin Survivor Case for iPod touch.

  • Henry dropped the Ipod touch and cracked the screen.  How can I get this fixed.

    Hi,
    Henry dropped his Ipod touch and cracked the screen and put in a passcode and now has forgotten his passcode.  Need to know how I can get the screen fixed and or if it is covered on the 1 year warranty?  How can I unlock the Ipod without the passcode?
    Any info would be greatly helpful!
    Lori Neumann

    Take to an Apple retailer. Such damage is not covered by your warranty.
    A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
    Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
    Connect your device to your computer.
    Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
    Select the Summary tab.
    Select the Restore option.
    When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not necessary to create another.
    Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up, you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
    When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple logo while starting up:
    After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or you see "iPhone is activated."
    The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
    If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
    Placing your device into recovery mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
