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.

Dropped iphone4 in water! What to do ?

Dropped iphone4 in water! What to do?

I have read that putting the phone into a bag of rice for 3 days often helps as the rice slowly absorbs the moisture from within the phone.

I used the location app to find my daughters ipod with my ipad mini. App worked great, but now I can't use my ipad, can't get rid of the alerte "ipod located". Now what do I do

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

If you did this recently put it in rice to absorb the water. Uhm if not, try to take it to an Apple store and give them a sob story ahha, maybe they'll give you a break. Good luck (:

Dropped ipod in water a few weeks ago

when i dropped it in water i stucked out the water and dried it out right away. but now it's starting to click on random apps, typing in random words and trying to send emails without me even touching it. i was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem and found a solution or has gotten it repair because i would like to know the price to fix it.

If throughly dry, try restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still a problem you very likely have a hardware problem. Maybe a digitizer problem or maybe more.

Ipod fell into a puddle of water, now what?

Ok, I was getting out of the car and my ipod fell out of my pocket and onto a puddle of water. I picked out the ipod out of the water and I drained water out of the bottom and my screen had that foggy look. Has this happen to anyone and if so what did you do? Should I leave it alone for it to dry out and then turn it on? Or should I go ahead and send it to Apple to have them fix it?
Thanks on any info.

Dropping your ipod in a puddle of water while getting out of the car is considered accidental damage and is not covered under either the ipods one year limited hardware warranty as well as the and extended warranty you have purchased (i.e applecare) if you send the ipod into apple they will do tests on it to determin weither are damage has been done to it. when they open the case if they see any water damage they will NOT fix it. example: i bought a motorolla razer had it two weeks and while i was in the kitchen cooking dinner my brother accidentally spilled orange juice on it while getting a drink. it ***** i know, but making sure you take care of your electronics is your own responsibility on apple's. try ipodresq.com i heard they were good.
good luck

You should dry for a total of a week and peridically change the rice

IPod touch dropped in the water, now sound doesn't play anymore, except ringtones

Hi,
An acquaintance of mine fell in the water, with his iPod touch still in his pocket. After getting out of the water, his iPod touch seemed to work fine, except the speaker; no music or other sounds play, except ringtones and notification sounds. Does this fall under the warranty, and what should he do?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
- Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Unhappy Ipod screen. Now What????

I've tried resetting this thing, can't get the check mark. Haven't been able to reset it. Any ideas on what to do next?

What does this picture on my iPod mean?

IPod Mini crashed - now what do or can I do?

Seems like my iPod Mini has crashed.
It seems like it tries to boot up but I just hear what seems like the disk spining, stoping, spining, stopping, like a stuck record. Not sure if something is fried or not. I was charging before this happened and it seemed to get pretty hot.
Looks like the product is obsolete and it is not possible to get it fixed. Not sure if putting in a new drive and battery would fix it.
It was a great product. What should I do with it? What does the community recommend?
Throw it away? How do I properly dispose of it?

There are still several 3rd party repair centers out there who can repair the device for you. Or if you are up for the challenge, you can still purchase replacement parts for pretty cheap from several sites including Amazon and eBay.
As for recycling, there are also several options. One of them is Apple.

Personally, I would go for the repair option, because it's always fun reviving an older piece of hardware. But sometimes it best to just let something go and properly dispose of it.

I dropped Ipod touch in toilet. what do I do?

I Immediately grabbed it out of the toilet and it was on when I got it out it just flickered off. Got a towel dried it and put it in rice and didnt touch it.

Change the rice daily for a week.
Then 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 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.

Hi. I just upgraded from 1st gen iPod mini to 5th gen 30gb video. Here's the scenario:
--Library on home computer synched successfully on the new iPod.
--Library of music purchased from iTunes on my work computer won't synch onto the new iPod.
How do I get music that I purchased on my work computer onto my new iPod?
Thanks.

160 GB iPod Filling up - Now what?

I had the bright idea to load my CD collection on iPods to get rid of the bulk - but with only the discs for Adams - Bach, I have more than 10.000 "songs" (each track counts as one) and the iPod will surely be full long before I complete through Mozart, much less start on Opera, Country & Western, Christmas or Pop.
I wouldn't mind having another iPod or two for the lyrical and non-classical music, but I can't figure out how to split the "library" item "Music" into two or three folders, each with its own iPod, e.g., "Classical" - "Opera" - "Modern" . . .
Anyone found a way to do this?

With an iPod connected, click the iPod name and then the Music tab, and you will see that "Sync Music" has an option for "Selected playlists..."
After you have sorted the music you want into playlists, this option lets you put it onto that iPod.
If you have multiple iPods, each is managed independently by the same method.

Dropped itouch in water how to fix

i dropped ipod in water and now it wont turn on and when i plug it in to an accesssory it has no volume and wont change date etc can this be fixed

Since you attempted to turn it on while it was still wet, the damage is probably done.
You can put in a zip lock bag with dry uncooked white rice for a week and then try again.
If it still does work, take it Apple and they will replace it. They will charge you for the replacemetn.
