I dropped my iPod touch 4 in my pool a week ago. It's been sitting in rice for about a week. It still won't turn on, what do I do?

What to do?

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 daughter dropped her iPod Touch and cracked her screen...do the Apply Stores repair this and for how much?

My daughter dropped her iPod Touch on cement and shattered the screen. It still works, but I am afraid it won't for long. I do not want to attempt a repair myself...does the Apply Store do this type of replacement/repair and for how much? I spent over $300 on this thing and I'm not buying another one. Thanks.

The home owner's policy may so give it a shoot.
The apple warranty which only covers material defects does not cover abuse which is what Apple will classiy dropping it as.

I dropped my iPod Touch in a puddle on a camping trip and I sent it to the Pod Drop. I just want to get the pix of my family(I have no copies of them) from the device.Do pix from the iPod Touch save in iTunes when it Syncs? If so how do I find them?

I dropped my iPod Touch in a puddle on a camping trip and I sent it to the Pod Drop. I told them that I am only concerned about getting the photos of my family and friends from the device. I know that all of the songs are saved in iTunes on my computer. They told me that they were not able to retrieve the pictures from my device. I recently sync'ed my iPod Touch before it broke. Do the photos that I save on my iPod Touch save to iTunes or to my computer when I sync the device? If so, how do I retrieve those pictures from iTunes or from my computer?
Also, if I buy a new iPod Touch how can I transfer my songs from iTunes to the new device?
Thanks!
Luke

Photos taken by and saved to the iPod are included in the backup that iTunes makes evetime you sync or if do a manual or iCloud backup.
Per the following the backup includes:
iTunes: About iOS backups
Camera Roll (Photos, screenshots, images saved, and videos taken. Videos greater than 2 GB are backed up with iOS 4.0 and later.)
Note: For devices without a camera, Camera Roll is called Saved Photos.
Thus if you backed up after the photos were taken yuo can restore an iDevice from that backup

The other day I dropped my ipod touch and the screen cracked and my warranty is up how do I get it fixed. Do I buy a screen and bring it to Apple to repair od do I have to repair it. Please help me

Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair". Some places also will sell parts and instructions for doing the repair yourself, but the connectors and parts are delicate and it's easy to cause further damage, so attempt this only if you are confident in your skills.
Regards.

I dropped my ipod touch and now it wont charge

I dropped my ipod touch and now it wont charge. When I plug it in to charge it just keeps going off and on.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I was in Aussie last month and dropped my iPod Touch (4th Gen) on the road. The screen was cracked on the top left-hand corner. The screen got fixed but the wireless stopped working. Can I still get it fixed under my warranty? (bought last July)

I was in Aussie last month and dropped my iPod Touch (4th Gen) on the road. The screen was cracked on the top left-hand corner (where the wireless area is). The screen got fixed but the wireless stopped working. So I am wireless-less... I bought it last July and its still under warranty, but can I still claim a repair on it?

No because it was physical damage

I dropped my iPod touch 4 generation on my kitchen tile and it shattered, like chunks of the screen are coming off. But everything works and I've had it for a 1 ½ years now. I don't have the extended warranty or anything but can I get it replaced somehow

They can fix it at the Apple Store. I wish you could get it fixed for free, but the warranty doesn't cover accidents like this . It sounds like you understand this, I just want to make sure you know.

I dropped my ipod touch and the screen cracked, I have no money what do i do?

Hi guys, I dropped my ipod touch yesterday and the screen cracked, It still works but barely
I have no money so cant buy a new ipod or get a repair for that matter
What can and should i do?

All you can do is live with the cracked screen. A screen replacement costs money.

I literally JUST dropped my iPod touch 4g 8gb it cracked the screen

I can still see but there is a big crack going from bottoms to top with smaller cracks. Is there any way I can get a new free one? It fell out of my sweatshirt pocket

Buttbubblebuster,
I think that it depends on how long you have had your iPod. I dropped my iPod touch (also 4th generation and 8GB) and there were major screen cracks. I got it last September and the drop was last month. I got a refurbished model for $99.
Hope this helps,
O.C.
P.S. Make sure to buy a good case. I recommend the Griffin Survivor Case for iPod touch.
