HT1438 ipod touch got wet and won't work

My daughter dropped her ipod in the toilet...nice...now it won't work properly even after we dried it off and put the ipod in rice overnight.
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

Overnight probably don't do any good. Let it dry in rice for three or four days at least. Then try the iPod again. If it will fails, it's almost certainly damaged and you'll have to take or send it to Apple and pay their out-of-warranty replacement charge.
Regards.

    - 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.

    and one free which you can do on your on which will on cost you a few pounds
    ok first the colstly way ipod/ifone repair web sites will fix wet ipod/ifones but they can charge anything from £39.99 to £79.99 to fix some with have an free post and pack service with royal mail and some will have u pay for this this will cost u £19.95
    ok the free way you will need two soft dry cloths and some where warm first lay one of the cloths down put the ipod/ifone face up lcd faceing up, now but the 2nd cloth over the top of it and leave it alone for 3-5 days after this try powering up ipod via its power button if it powers up and and buttons work it should be able to charge up

    my ipod touch got wet and now is broken - I purchased a new ipod touch and want to know how I get my purchased apps onto my new ipod touch

    To restore app data, the apps have to be in the iTunes library of the computer on which you do the restore. The iPod ackup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • My IPOD touch got wet and now only shows a white screen.  How to fix?

    My IPOD touch got wet (it was not submerged in water, just rained on) and now only shows a white screen.  How can I fix this?  I already dried it in rice, and reinstalled it on ITUNES.

    unless you have apple care which even that probably doesnt cover water damage. youre gonna need to buy a new screen. probably set you back $60 something. look up ipod touch 4g lcd screen in google and look for sites like amazon or something. unless you wanna have apple charge you like 100 bucks for it or probably more

  • My iPod touch got wet and I used the rice method to save it.

    After 3 days, I plugged it back in and it worked. But the problem is that the home and lock buttons don't work anymore. What can I do? It charges just fine but iTunes cannot detect it seems... So I can't backup my songs and all, which ***** considering the fact that I have over 1k of memories in there.
    Does anybody have a suggestion? I don't mind paying for repairs at Apple, but I definitely want to get my songs.
    The touch-screen works just fine although it has white stripes on it now.

    - It doesn't, no. It feels like something is preventing full movement.
    - No I didn't, but what do you mean by cycling the switches?
    - I think it is, but there were sort of pale stripes in the back of the screen. Would that be water by any chance?
    - Dammit what a shame, is it not possible to extract the iPod's HDD or memory stick (whatever it contains) and recover the songs?

  • Ipod touch got wet and froze on the battery symbol. I forced a shut down and wasnt responsive.  tried turning it on and it wouldnt. Later on white screen appeared followed by the apple logo

    i spilled a pop on my ipod and it froze up. the screen was loced on the battery symbol sign and i forced a shut down.  It tunred off and wont turn on.  Later a white screen popped up and after the apple logo popped up and dissapeared. I have tried to connect it to my computer and it said that the iphone(itunes read it as such) was in recovery mode. How do I get this thing to work again?

    Leave the iPod off and place it in a container with dry rice to absorb moisture. Let it thoroughly dry.
    Realistically, the chances of it working correctly again are slim, especially if the pop was sugared.

  • IPod Touch got wet, died. I need my notes...

    My iPod Touch got wet and it's gone. I can get to the screen (albeit dim) that shows the slider to unlock it but the touchscreen is unresponsive. The computer won't recognize it.
    My main problem is I have some very important notes that I need.
    Does anyone know how to get the notes from the backup file "data.syncdb"?

    This might help:

    No app is required.                                               
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

    my ipod touch got stolen and when i got it back it said ipod disabled connect to iTunes how do i get my information from notes, contacts, etc. and apps on it back while restarting it through iTunes?

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see the following. This will get the iPod like it was when the backup was made. This is you only possible way of getting your information back since when the iPod is in recovery mode (the screen show conect to iTunes) the iPod is already erased.
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
