Dropped ipod black

hi, this is what happen... i was having a bbq... i know, i know, bbq in fall, hey i love bbq... anyways i have logitech mm50 and i was playing music on it... put it on the table, my nephew knock it down... first that fell is my black 60gb ipod video... then the mm50 fell... since i cannot use a case to use it on the mm50, my ipod is not protected, only an invisible shield on it...
yeah invisible shield is great at protecting my ipod from scratches, but not from bumps... well, worst of luck, it fell exactly on the corner where it is not protected by the invisible shield... it fell on a rough floor, so it did not just scratch it, but it took a small part of my ipod... this is on the top right corner, on the black side...
now my questions
1. is there a way to make this look better? the way it look is like when you slide your ipod on a rough floor and it took a small piece of it
2. will this be a factor when my ipod is broken and i want to send it in for a repair? because i read somewhere that apple don't want to fix the ipod when there is a cosmetical damage.
3. i have the Best Buy extended warranty, will this void it since there is a cosmetic damage to it?
thanks

I don't believe It will matter to Best Buy, they will probably give you another one, but don't quote me on that.

You should placed the soaked iPod in a sealed container of dry rice for about a week while changing out the rice daily. Do NOT attempt to power it on before then.
If you have already, there is a good chance it could have fried some of the iPod's internal components.

Slideshow Image Drops To Black

Hey all - I have one pesky slideshow image that always seems to drop to black, and for the life of me, I can't figure out what the problem is. I've deleted it from the slideshow and re-inserted it, and the problem persists. The transition and image are fine on Adobe's preview window, but the image briefly drops out on DVD players before reappearing.
Do you think deselecting "random pan and zoom" for this image may alleviate the problem, or could the picture itself be a problem? If that's the case, I'll just have to replace it with a less desirable one.
Thanks for your help.

Dave,
Size and format do not seem a problem.
I know you have replaced it one time, but can you go back to the original image and Save_As a PSD from Photoshop, or other? Since your problem is related to this one image, I'd try several other versions of it.
I do agree about using the NLE for slide shows, but the feature exists, and should be useful.
Good luck and let us know if any variation of this image changes things,

Dropped Ipod Touch...

Is a dropped ipod touch(cracked screen) covered under warranty? I am thinking no. If not, where is best place get replaced? Apple vs. 3rd Party?

It your touch shows such damage (dents) it will not be repaired under the Apple warranty. Sorry.

Dropped IPOD in water now what?

Place the iPod in a sealed container of uncooked rice for a week and change the rice daily. The see if it works. If not Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:

dropped iPod in water. How do i fix?

FIrst, as to the response above....once you open those guts you void any and all of your warranty. SO know that before you to ripping into your device.
Second, an iPod isn't like a laptop inside, it's not simple modular bits that you can take apart and reassemble. The screen itself can be a complex device and if you don't get things exactly right, you will break it.
I would not recommend doing what Nan suggested unless you are very skilled with electronics and willing to accept all the consequences....for example, if you tear into it and it doesnt work, your chances of being eligible for an out of warranty replacement are greatly diminished if not gone all together.

Problem charging iPod Black 60GB VIDEO

I put my iPod to charge from the wall as always. After a while as usual the charge green icon appear in my iPod, but when I try to play my music my iPod said LOW POWER BATTERY and something else that I couldn't read 'cause the iPod shut off. I put it to charge [for 6 hrs] in the PC [Windows XP] and the 'Very Low battery' monochrome icon appears. You can browser through the iPod content but as soon as I push the play button it turn off saying the low battery messege. The thing is that when you are browsering through the battery icon shows fully charge. If I have the iPod charging from the wall, I can listen to the music, if I have the iPod charging from the PC the monochrome icon will appear and I can't update, sync ect. The charger works because my sister charged her iPod [Black 30GB VIDEO] and the sync cable works 'cause she updated her iPod software, since she uses the laptop to sync.

If your iPod only works correctly when connected to external power, then it's very likely that the battery has died on your iPod. You cannot overcharge the battery has the other poster has suggested.
The monochrome non animated battery icon you see when you connect the iPod to the computer means that the battery is discharged.
There are things you can try here.
My iPod won't turn on.
iPod battery doesn't charge.
If nothing helps, you should send the iPod for service.

Dropped iPod...screen is white.

Hi.. I have a third gen touch and i was playing music in the shower and it dropped from a high distance and fell into the water. I quickly picked it up and set it aside. After finishing up in the shower i immediatley put it in rice. I tried to turn the screen on and all I saw was white. The screen was white, but lit. I held it up to my ear to see if there was any music playing and i heard a faint buzzing sound... What do i do? the screen is just black now and the buzzing is still going... Help! I cannot afford a new one,,

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.

My iPod blacks out randomly

If I'm in an app, usually safari or another high-memory app, there's a chance that the screen will go black for a second before cutting out and going back to the home screen, which is incredibly annoying when I'm in the middle of something, as sometimes it doesn't save my progress (except for safari). Why is this happening and what can I do to stop it? Does it matter if I only have about 2 GB of memory left?

press home button twice and close all running backround apps
after all apps are closed hold the power button till u c the slide to power off
slide and shut down the ipod give it a few mins and turn it back on try the apps that where cutting out and c if they work any better
if there still blacking out u may need to restore ipod to a back up
or restore the ipod as new which is back to factory setting removeing everything from the ipod u downloaded to it

Dropped iPod, white screen 60gb model.

Hello,
First let me say I have done extensive research and have not found any viable solution to my problem. I dropped my iPod from about 5 feet off the ground. After I picked it up it had a white screen. I immediately tried to reset it, and it reset still with a white screen, but this time I could see all the menus. The only thing is, there is no text on any of the menus. I can scroll and get around through the choppy looking screens, I can even play music if I click enough buttons, but there is no text and the entire screen is choppy looking. You can even see the blue highlight showing which tab you are scrolling over, but alas there is no text to show which menus they are. On top of it, there are a lot of vertical lines in between the menu options. At reset, there are also 3 vertical transparent lines unequally spaced apart, all of which overlay the blank white screen.
I've tried resetting it a ton of times, letting the battery drain for 24 hours then turning it on, still didn't work.
The only thing I have not done is an attempt at restoring it. I am afraid if I restore it, it could screw it up even further to the point where I wont be able to use it at all.
Any advice is appreciated.

The same thing just happened to me about 15 minutes ago. I dropped my husband's Nano. It landed smack on it's 'back'. The screen is mainly white with blackish gray dots and streaks. I can't read anything but it plays.
Were you ever able to fix yours...or do I have to tell my husband that I broke his new ipod?

Dropped Ipod Mini only turns on when on hold

I dropped my Ipod Mini down the stairs of my two story house on accident. Now it wont turn on unless I have it on hold which isn't good because then I cant play any songs...because it's on hold and wont move. The instant I take it off of hold in turns off. It WILL however play songs on my Ipod Home but I can't choose what song I want to play. It will just start at the top of the songs and play A-Z. The only way I can get it to play songs on the Home is because I'm controling it from the home not the ipod...if that makes sense. So am I just S.O.L.? Should I just replace my ipod (oh ya and I've had it way past the warranty) or is there hope?

My goodness.. that's really unfortunate. But, with the drop and everything, it kind of sounds like a hardware problem rather than software. But I'm really not sure, so you might want to bring it to a store like circuit city or best buy or an apple store and ask about it.
I don't know, see what others here say before anything though, because you never know about those $50 per question policies they have at those stores.

5G iPod - Black or White?

I'm looking for some pros and cons here... iPod is all sleek and shiny. Which color holds up better, black or white? I've had two white iPods and am now thinking black is the way to go. Aside from having a white iMac, white earbuds, dock and cables... why have a black iPod... other than the "coolness factor?" Thoughts, anyone?

My son has the black nano and it shows scratches very
easily. Is there a scratch repair kit on the market?
Yes, a company called RadTech makes a product called Ice Cream, a polycarbonate/acrylic compound to remove surface scratches on iPods and other things like laptops, cell phones, PDAs, jewelry, etc. Here's the link:

I haven't tried it yet, but I might buy Ice Cream after my next iPod.

Dropped iPod case repair

My iPod decidet to get out of my pocket(breast pocket!:O) when i was jumping and hit the ground(gravity's fault! :D). It was a hard punch but it's still working. I've also got picture of it: http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/6029/img6793yc5.jpg
Bought it 1 month ago, and it's kind of anoyeing that it looks like that. You know that allkind of dust can get into my iPod from that crack there! :P Also know that warrant won't repair or do anything with it. I was intrested that is it possible to change that metal cover back there? I tryed to phush it to the right place but it won't stay there, where i want to.
A day after drop(today :P) bought new protective case for my iPod.
Actually there were 2 other things i like to mention(maybe it "has to be" like this).
1.Harddisk makes weird nose(not spinning sound)when i start a vide or songs
2.I can see backlight gleam where i shouldn't. It's about half cm from screen(it's 1/5" i guess :o))
Well... "things" happen. xD I still like Apple poducts!

To possibly help with your dust problem, because you are right you could definitely get things in there that shouldn't be in there. If you go to like a Target, Radio Shack basically anywhere that sells iPods and iPod equipment buy yourself a nice iPod case. The brand case I have is called "incase" its like a stretchy kinda nylon feeling case with a nice spin wheel cover, that might help keep dust out of it. If you search around there are lots of different kinds of cases out there you could get to put it in. As for replacing the metal cover, I don't know anything about that subject. Your hard drive making a weird noise could be from dropping it. Same with the backlight gleam.
