Ahhh the old wet ipod

I had to walk in the rain the other day and when I opened my backpack, my IPOD was sitting in about an inch of water. It has a rubber case but there are openings (screen, USB, headphones etc). I let it dry for a couple of days and then plugged it into my computer. It turned on and charged up and I got excited. After charging, I tried using it. The buttons do not work. None of them, including the click wheel. The menu button does not turn it on, BUT it will turn on if I hold the menu and select buttons for the ipod reset. I just did the ipod restore and udpate, no luck. All of my music was intact, even though it's gone now due to the restore.
I am reading now that you should let it dry for a week and do not turn it on before then. Is there a chance my buttons got fried because it was turned on too soon? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
George

  • I need to add my new ipod to itunes. it will only show the old dead ipod. i want to keep the music, but get rid of the info of the old dead ipod and add my new one and its info. please help.

    Hello,
    I need to add my new ipod to itunes.
    itunes will only show the old, dead ipod that my niece had given me secondhand.
    I just got a new one and want to put in it's serial number, etc. but keep the music.
    Please help, I've been going around in circles online for hours. I don't want to merely change the name of the old ipod, which is the only info I can find.
    Thanks.

    "In addition, I would like to get all of the music files that are already on my ipod on to my new computer"
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
    If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
    There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.
    Once the music from your iPod is in your new iTunes library, you can go about adding new music as you did previously.

  • Can i use my old IPOD dock with the new G5 IPOD?

    Can i use my old IPOD dock with the new G5 IPOD?

    That's really good to know. I thought because it was a different thickness you wouldn't be able to, and the dock adaptor that comes with the new iPods doesn't fit into the old Photo dock.
    Do you know if you can use the charger that came with the old Photo iPods? You can plug straight into the power socket, but the cable that goes into the charger from the iPod is the firewire cable, so I was thinking maybe it wouldn't work, and I don't want to try it in case I short out my iPod or something!

  • I just got a warranty replacement for my touch gen4.I didn't do anykind of backup other than my usal sync with itunes.  WHat do I have to do to get itunes to sync everything back like the old one?  I was planning for a repair not a replacement.

    I didn't do any kind of backup other than my usal sync with itunes.  What do I have to do to get itunes to sync everything back like the old one?  I was planning for a repair not a replacement.  I'm afraid to plug the new one in to my pc until I know what I need to do.

    You can restore from the backup of the old one.

  • From old PC ipod to new IPT and Macbook Pro

    I have and old ipod whose itunes is on my parents old PC. I recently got a new macbook and ipod touch and now I need to get all of my songs from the old PC ipod to the new ipod touch via the new macbook. How is this possible!?

    You have multiple options:
    1. Put the Library on portable hard drive
    2. Burn the library to DVD(s)
    3. Use a big memory stick
    4. Set iTunes to not sync, plug in your old iPod and set it for disk mode. Copy the files to your iTunes library.
    5. Google Pod to Mac and download the freeware program that will copy your files from your iPod to the Mac.

  • How to sync icloud with itunes have two different id's on ipod and password won't work for one of them not even the old one

Should I put it back in?
    Any help would be great!

    Let me clarify if needed... the id I'm talking about is the email address...
    Thanks again

  • I sign into my new itunes account on my ipod touch but it still says I am logged in on the old one!!

    So, my friend and I shared an username and such. But he deleted his account and forgot to tell me. I made a new account with a different friend and his is verified and such. I logged onto my itunes store account thing on my ipod in the settings. I even logged onto it on my laptop in Itunes!  I went to the Itunes store app on my touch and I scrolled to the bottome and it looks as though I am logged in on the new account....beow the email it says "Terms & Conditions...." so I was thinking the "..." was because something was left undone. But anyways,  when I go to the app store on my touch and try to update my apps the little window pops up and asks for my password..I looked at the email and it still has the old accounts email! How?! Why?! HELP.

  • I am losing a hard drive on another computer so I have downloaded all music to my ipod nano, when I sync the nano to my new computer and new itunes software it won't pick up the music from the old computer what do I do to successfully sync?

    I am losing a hard drive on an old computer so I performed a sync of all music from the old computer to my ipod nano.  Now when I sync my ipod nano to my new computer/Itunes all music will not upload to new computer/software.  What am I doing wrong?

      I’ve never needed to do that and am fairly new to using itunes but try doing this. Go to, “Store,” in the itunes menu and select, “Authorize this computer.” Enter apple id and see if that works. I heard that method is used to transfer purchased media to a new computer but I don’t know if it works for regular stored media. Please let me know if that works.

  • My husband and I have upgraded our phones (iPhone 4s and iPhone 5) to the iPhone 5s.  We have given 2 of our kids the "old" phones and want to set them up as an iPod touch.  Both kids have email and need to be able to text (iMessage).

    My husband and I have upgraded our phones (iPhone 4s and iPhone 5) to the iPhone 5s.  We have given 2 of our kids the "old" phones and want to set them up as an iPod touch.  Both kids have email and need to be able to text (iMessage).
    I have read multiple posts on how to do this and I am still confused.
    Apple ID/ICoud:
    We want to be able to monitor what they do, but do not want their devices linked to our emails/contacts/etc...  Each kid has their own email account.  So, from what I have read the best way to do this is to use our family Apple ID, but set them up with a separate iCloud account?  Is this correct?
    Reset/Restore/DFU:
    To start fresh we have done multiple factory resets.  I did one that someone said was a DFU and a plan ol' factory reset, etc...  Not sure the difference.  However, when I do that I get the "hello" screen and am able to start setting the phone up anew.  However, when I go to set the phone up as an iPod I end with the same result.
    So, here is what I am doing (tell me what I am doing wrong):
    Hello Screen
    Asks me to select language and selecting:  English
    Select Your Country or Region:  United States
    Choose a Wi-Fi Network:  select my home wi-fi network
    Enter password:  entered my home wi-fi network password
    Activiate iPhone - wants me to enter Apple ID and Passwordsays that this iphone is currently linked to an Apple ID (k*******@gmail.com).  Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone.
    Location Services - I have enabled location services
    Set Up iPhone
    Set Up as New iPhone
    Apple ID
    Options are to sign in with your Apple ID or Create a Free Apple ID
    Or I could "skip this step"
    I signed in with my Apple ID
    Terms and Conditions - Agree
    iCloud - I can select either to use iCloud or Don't Use iCloud - I selected use iCloud
    Find My iPhone - I can select either to use find my iPhone or to not - I selected use find my iphone
    Once I do this it says iMessage and FaceTime and shows the following:
    my email
    my other child's cell phone number
    and my husband's work phone number
    This is where things do not make sense.  I only want the phone set up with the current child's email address.  Where did I go wrong?

    There are a number of Apple services: iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game center, Find My iPad, etc.
    Now, to share apps, music and books you need to have the same Apple ID:
    iPad's Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Your purchasing Apple ID.
    For the other service, your wife should have her own Apple ID.
    All she needs is a valid e-mail address, apply Apple ID below:

  • How do i move ipod nano content to a new Windows computer?  My old computer died and when i try to sync to itunes on my new Windows computer, it says it will erase what's on the ipod.  I can't seem to de-authorize the old computer (it's been recycled).

    how do i move ipod nano music to a new Windows 7 computer?  My old computer died and when i try to sync to itunes on my new Windows computer, it says it will erase what's on the ipod.  I can't seem to de-authorize the old computer (it's been recycled).  Does this mean I have to start all over and read in my CD's into itunes?  seems very inflexible/inelegant...

  • How can I transfer my old music files to my new iPod using a different computer from that used on the old iPod?

  • Can you transfer pictures from an old ipod touch to a new ipod touch without having the old ipod touch or the photos in Iphoto?

    I somewhat recently got a new ipod touch after my screen cracked and the people at an Apple store said it would be cheaper to buy a new device completely.  I followed everything they said about backing up my old device and when I went to pick up the new one, the store took the old one away.
    Up until just a few days ago I did not realize Iphoto could hold pictures from your ipods.  Mine never did it automatically, nor did anything ever seem to have the option to do.  It just so happened that two days ago I was browsing the web when I noticed a website gave instructions on how to transfer photos.  So I tried it and it worked for my new ipod while all the new photos.
    But I was wondering if I could somehow get the old photos back from Itunes or my computer somewhere and transfer them into Iphoto or my new device.  I was hoping that maybe if I could "back up" my old stuff onto my new ipod for a few moments it would show I have the old photos and I could transfer them into Iphoto and then restore the ipod touch back to what I have it currently.
    If it helps, I'm pretty sure the old ipod touch I had was a 3gen as my new one I noticed was skinnier.  As I said, I do not have the old touch anymore but I have the data in Devices on my Itunes if that makes a difference.  Both my data for my old one and new one are in the Devices section of Itunes.

  • My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new itunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted when i sync it to my new account?

    My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new i tunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted whin i sync it to itunes after purchasing new music?

    I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
    What is the way to actually contact Apple?
    I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . .
