!help!water got in clickwheel stoped working!help!

my friend was using my ipod and some soda got spilled on it so i wiped it down with a wet cloth and now my clickwheel wont work someone help

Sorry to say, but your iPod is probably not going to survive.
If soda got inside, if/when it dries out there will probably be some pretty messy deposits of sugar and residue left on components of the iPod. Not good.
If you're lucky, and only water got inside, you might have a little more hope.
Leave the iPod alone... turned off... for a while. At least a week.
DON'T TOUCH IT OR CONNECT IT TO A COMPUTER.
Leave it alone and let it dry out by itself.
If, after a week or so, you think it's fully dried out, then try turning it on. Hopefully you'll get lucky.
If the battery is dead.. try charging it with an AC adapter. I wouldn't risk charging it with the computer after this. Something might short out and possibly damage your USB port on the computer.
I realize that my advice leans more towards the overly cautious side.

    Place the iPod in a sealed container with a desiccant for a week. Uncooked rice works. Change the desiccant every day or so for a week.
    Do not charge or turn on the iPod until dry. Then try:
    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.

  • ClickWheel Not working .. need help

    My 30G Ipod Photo clickwheel stoped working yesterday. I`ve had it for 17 months. All the key buttons work ( Play , Back , forward , Menu and select) But it does not scroll down. Its like the Touch sensitive just stopped. It would not do a soft reset so I wore the Batt down and it reset its self. Same deal it didnt work. Now I just did a Restore and still nada.
    Anyone have any suggestions for me? or am I just gonna have to suck it up and try and get a new Ipod?
    Thanks

    Alright, mine works a little now. Jessica, try scrolling while pushing down on the buttons. Mine worked like that. Had to kind of force it a little. It got a better after sitting on the cradle for a while. Anyone out there with this issue, don't waste your time and effort with the restore function. This is pure hardware baby. Let me know if you can scroll while pressing down to see if we have the same issue.

    my i phone 4 is water damaged and it is working but network not shown so please help me

    A replacement iPhone is usually a refurbished iPhone that has received new battery and case and repair of anything that may have been faulty.  The refurbished iPhone is indistinguishable from a new iPhone.  A number of the regulars on here prefer the refurbished Aplle products because they have been so thoroughly tested.
    A replacement iPhone is identical to the original, same color, capacity, and so on.

  • Please help. just got my jabra halo, worked fine with my iphone4 but can't use it on my macbook pro. it always prompts " the devise does not have the necessary service

    please help. just got my jabra halo, worked fine with my iphone4 but can't use it on my macbook pro. it always prompts " the devise does not have the necessary service

    Found these instructions here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15388885#15388885
    I found an answer that worked for me. I am using an iMac.
    (1) Sign out of the iTunes store
    (2) Open a NEW account with a new Apple ID
    (3) Go through the sign up process and then go to the ACCOUNT INFORMATION page
    (4) Go to RECOMENDATIONS & PING POSTING
    (5) Turn on Genius there
    Once the Genius updates, you can sign out and then sign in under your original Apple ID or the e-mail address you use for the iTunes store. All my store credit was there and now Genius worked.
    Rather odd but I actually like the Genius at times except when it can't deal with some of my lesser known bands that I listen to.
    Worked for me.

  • So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone won't stay on unless connected to mains... Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly. HELP

    So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone  shut down and now won't stay on unless connected to mains... Claims its at 100% battery but thats impossible as it was at 30% before it shut down randomly.
    Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly.
    Turns off as soon as removed from usb ... wont stay on connected to laptop!
    HELP!

    The iPhone includes a one year warranty. If an Apple store is not nearby, you can call AppleCare and handle an exchange under warranty over the phone. The exchange will be shipped to your door - someone must sign for the delivery so if no one will be at home, have it delivered where you work. You use the same box to return the existing iPhone back to Apple. Return shipping label and tape to reveal the box incuded - call the carrier with number incuded when the box is ready to be picked up. AppleCare will request a credit card in the event the existing iPhone is not returned within 10 days after the exchange under warranty is received.
    Hardware can fail - it happens, which is why there is a one year warranty.

  • Iphone 5 touch screen has stoped working all of a sudden, help?

    iphone 5 touch screen has stoped working all of a sudden, help?

    Hello there, shankate1993.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting issues with touchscreen response on your iOS device:
    If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond to touch - Apple Support
    Fix your touchscreen
    Make sure your hands are clean and dry, then try these steps:
    If you have a case or screen protector on your device, try removing it.
    Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
    Unplug your device.
    Restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
    If your touchscreen still doesn't respond like it should, contact Apple Support or take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • My phone won't turn on. I have tried the Power button   home button several times and even held it for over 3 minutes.. When I plug it in it still won't respond to itunes PLEASE HELP!! A little water got in it but it was like a drop or two..

    My Iphone 4g, won't turn on, I have tried the power button + home button several times and held them for over 3 minutes. It won't even respond to Itunes and I can't restore it because of that. A little water got into it before it completely shut off but it was like little drops.. Please HELPP.
    I also have tried  to put it in rice and left it there for 9 hours and it still doesn't work

    A drop or two of water may have been enough to cook it. If it was bad enough to prompt you to put it in a bag of rice, then I'd venture to guess it was more than a drop or two.
    Try putting it back in the bag of rice and leave it there for several days.
    If that doesn't fix it, then you're more than likely looking at paying for an out of warranty replacement.
    Water and delicate electronics don't generally get along well.

    they same issue has happened with me too. while using camera of my z1,the phone got hot and restarted. so i let it under tap water. next thing i knew screen backlight started flickering. the front screen panel got buldged out. clearly showing that it was not properly sealed. this is my refubrished set that i recieved 2 months ago. camera lens started showing water vapours on it.the backlight of phone not working now.
    i contacted sony care and told everything. but they showed me that water has logged inside as red indicators under flap were triggered.

  • Macbook Keyboard Partially stoped working

    i went to the apple store yesterday and the genius told me they didn't know what was wrong with it and to reinstall leopard. only problem is i don't have my second dvd that came with my computer to install all the ilife08 stuff and i dont have the office 08 cd that was provided by my school. so when i got home i plug in my external hard drive which i use for time machine, pop in the disk and do a full restore to 3-7-08 after about 2 hours of it restoring it finally was finished, leopard boots up and finally everything works! so i go to bed. wake up this morning, go to class and i'm using my laptop in class to take notes in word. all of the sudden when i go to type another sentence the keyboard once again dies! i wasn't doing anything on my computer besides word. i believe the only other application i had running was little snich. so now i'm not sure why in gods name this has happened to me 2 times. the mac genius told me it wasn't a hardware problem and most likely software. what could be wrong????
    thanks SOOO much in advanced if anyone can help me

    I can only be of limited help, but I use Little Snitch and it's never given me any problems.
    It's possible that some application is hijacking the keyboard input, but that seems to bizarre. It could be hardware, since the cable that connects the keyboard to the laptop is directly under the keyboard and it could be shorting out intermittently.

  • My computers hard drive has stoped working, how can I retrieve my Itunes library from my computer?

    My computers hard drive has stoped working. How can I retrieve my itunes library? My back ups were on this hard drive as well.
    When I brought my computer to be fixed they said they would retrieve photos and music and documents but loose my programs. That being said I am not sure if I will recover my music from itunes because it may fall under the program category. I support itunes by purchasing from itunes, but now i am in a position where i may loose years of purchassing music and it has me feeling a little bit sick to be honest...the stress this is causing is really big. DÙoes anyone have any experience with this type of problem?
    Help is appreciated, thank you.

    If the data is recoverable from the drive then they should have recovered the entire iTunes folder which includes the library database. Restore this into the <User's Music> folder of a replacement system, install iTunes, and it should be as before.
    See also  Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Even if you don't have one there should be some useful links...
