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.

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.

IPod nano repaired and no longer recognized how do I get it to sync again?
I had my ipod nano repaired, during which it was wiped clean. Now when I connect it to my computer it treats it as a new device and won't sync it with my ITUNES...how do I fix this so that it syncs again..please help
Go to Settings, and then turn iMessage and FaceTime on if they are off. If they are on, then turn them both off, restart the phone, then turn them back on.
Go back to Settings > iCloud. Whether the current or old email address is displayed there, try your current password. -
i have often heard (i still don't know if it's true...) that magnets are very dangerous near your computer or hard drives. i want to purchase an ipod case with a flip cover that contains magnets in it. has anyone had a problem with a case like this or is this sort of thing alright?
case with magnet button or whatever?
you should be fine, never had problems -
Just to let you know if you are in London the Agent 18 cases that seem so hard to get a hold of are in the Apple Store !
Unfortunately -
1.They are NOT on the upper floor with the other ipod cases
2.The staff on the upper floor will politely tell you they hv no cases for the 60 GB video ipod till end Dec.
Luckily, if you walk down to the ground level floor there are several of them hung on a freestanding display on the ground floor !
Way cheaper than ordering online as I paid £24.95 for my case , online with postage its more (around £33 I think )

I dropped iPod nano (4g and 5g) in water...what do I do ?
I dropped iPod nano (4g and 5g) in water...what do I do ?
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.

Why do some ipod cases have two holes on the top
Why do some ipod cases have an extra hole next to the camera hole?
The black and white iPhones are the same (except for the color). One hole is your ear speaker. Above it is the proximity sensor. It is not a hole in the glass front but a whole in the underlying material where the proximity sensor is located. You can see this hole with the white material, but it is hard to see with the black material, but it is still there.

Ipod Case with a magnet?
I recently purchased an ipod case but it has a magnet as a closure. I was just wondering if anyone knew if having a magnet that close to the ipod was bad for the hard drive. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't being paranoid. I wanted to e-mail apple directly but couldn't find an e-mail anywhere. If anyone knows an e-mail I could use to ask them this question, It would be great. Thanks
it really depends on how strong the battery is.
Test it out, the magnet wont cause any physical damage if it's going to do anything the worst it could do is corrupt some data at which point you'll restore your ipod and never use your case again

Dropped iPod in water, dropped iPod in water
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. -
