I washed my mom's ipod nano.

It's the touchscreen one. It was dried in the dryer and we have it in rice right now. How long should I leave it? Will it be okay? am I screwed?

You are quite probably screwed, but leave it in rice in a warm place for at least 3 days, at least that's how long they say to leave a wet cellphone.

I accidentally washed my 6th generation iPod nano. It will turn on still but now it has a computer screen setup on the screen, is there a way I can get it back to normal?

I accidentally washed my 6th generation iPod nano. It will turn on still but now it has a computer screen setup on the screen, is there a way I can get it back to normal? I can plug it into my computer and it works and I've click the restore button that comes under the nano's summary when it's plugged in. Any type of help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Take your iPod Nano back to the Apple Store. Let them see what you are seeing. Only this time............
Prior to leaving the Apple Store: ***Make sure you have the store staff power the iPod Nano up and demonstrate that it is indeed working properly to your satisfaction.***

Mom's iPod nano won't sync with my itunes?

I've got my ipod and iphone syncing to my computer's itunes fine, but when I plug my mom's ipod nano (5th or 6th gen) into my computer it won't sync my music onto it. No error message, just every time I unplug it there is no new music. She's got some music that came on the ipod already so I'm not sure if I need to delete that or what to make it sync with my itunes. Itunes recognizes it and I can see what's on it, it just won't sync. Thanks!

Hi Charlie,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If your iPod nano isn't actually completing its sync, I would put it through this troubleshooting assistant:

Try syncing again after each suggested step.

"washed-out" effect on ipod nano 5g

i'm not sure how many people have noticed this, but the ipod nano seems to have a few contrast problems with the video camera. for example, when you enter the effects menu, and select normal again, when the video fits the screen again you will see that the contrast in the video camera seems to weaken a bit. point your camera at any room with a light on, go into effects, and select normal again, and you will see that the contrast reduces when the video fits the screen. when the video fits the screen and you notice that the black colors are washed out and the color isn't as saturated, this is the problem i am talking about. however, if you choose the bulge video effect, there is no contrast loss whatsoever when the effect is selected. this contrast loss problem seems to only be occuring on the normal and motion blur video modes, so i was asking if anyone else is experiencing this same problem?

Hello there,
According to the iPod's minimum requirements, which can be found in the document below, you need a USB 2.0 port in order to sync or charge your 4th generation iPod nano.

Hope this helps.

Help, my ex-wife washed my daughter's ipod nano

My ex-wife washed my daughter's ipod in the washing machine. I can't get it to do much of anything. when i plug it in to my computer the apple comes up, which gave me hope. then the icon with the exclamation mark comes up and then it shuts off. i am trying to charge it, but it shows to be dead.... any ideas?

eject before disconnecting
Always drag the iPod icon on the Desktop to the Recyle Bin before removing the iPod from the computer, or in iTunes menu bar click Controls / Eject (name of iPod)

I think I washed and dried my iPod nano?

I won't know for sure until I get home later today, but I'm afraid I may have left my iPod in my pants pocket when I washed and dried them last night. Is all hope lost? Am I going to need to replace my iPod?

It's possible. Dryers can get pretty hot, depending on the setting you had it on.
Always check your pockets before putting clothes in the wash.

ITunes displays -48 error message when syncing iPod Nano on Windows XP

My girlfriend's mom's iPod Nano ran out of charge while jogging so she decided to charge it on her daughter's iHome. The next day she went to use her iPod but it was totally empty of all music and files. When she tried to sync it to iTunes, she received an eror message stating, "An unknown error has occurred (-48)" from iTunes and a Windows message stating that some iPod folder/file was corrupted.
If anyone receives such a message, I was able to correct it by:
-Plugging in your iPod to your PC
-Ignore the error messages
-Go to My Computer
-Find your iPod's drive letter (ie. G:)
-Right-click on it and select Properties
-Go to Tools Tab >Error-checking and select Check Now
You should be able to sync your iPod as before. I do not claim to be an expert so be warned that it may not work for you. Good luck!

Hey ermides,
Thanks for the question. The following resource provides information if you are receiving a -50 error message when syncing:

Copy the music from Nano to computer by:

My 4th generation iPod nano was washed, screen is super dim, how can I fix this?

So a few months ago, I accidentally left my blue 4th generation iPod nano in my pant pocket. My clothes were set to wash with the iPod in my pants. I'd completely forgot about it being in there. After finding out what had happened, I let the iPod soak in a jar of rice for about a month. I took it out to see if anything had worked but it wouldn't turn on.
Thinking it might need a charge, I plugged it in and found that it turns on only while it's plugged in and instantly turns off when unplugged. I also noticed that the screen is extremely dim, even when put on full brightness. It's as if I turned the brightness all the way down, even though I'm putting it all the way up. I also tried connecting it to iTunes to try to see what I could find. The attempt was unsuccesful as the iPod went unrecognized on iTunes v10.5.
I'm not sure what else I could do to fix this. Has anything similar to this happened to you before?
Also, I have a 4th generation iPod touch and iPhone 4. I honestly don't need this iPod at all, but it'd still be nice to get it fixed for extra use.
Thanks for any help in advance!

I would recommend taking it in to your local Apple Store to see what the people at the Genius Bar can do for you.

I accidentally washed my iPod nano. Is there any hope for it?

I stuck my iPod nano in my pocket, and yes, forgot to take it out before my sister washed our clothes. Right after it got washed, I plugged it in to my computer, and it did turn on, just with a little distortion on the screen. It has been about a month now though, and the iPod won't turn on at all, even when it is plugged in. But iTunes recongizes that the iPod is plugged in.
Is there any hope for my iPod, or would it be better just to save for a new one?

I think that when you turned it on after it was washed, that was the end. If it's been a month and won't turn on, I would assume it probably won't ever. Start saving your money. Apple has refurbished models that carry the same warranty as new units and they are $50 less. Check these out:

My ipod nano was clipped to a tee-shirt and run through the wash cycle. Is there any hope for it working again. It won't turn on or appear to take a charge.

My ipod nano was clipped to a teeshirt and ran through the wash/rinse cycle. It doesn't turn on or take a charge. Any chance of it working again?

Does the warranty for the iPod nano 7 cover a washing machine accident?

About a week ago, I left my almost new ipod nano 7 in one of my jeans pockets. My sister thought the jeans were dirty and did not hesitate or check the pockets before throwing them in the washing machine. I later got a call from her that she had found my new ipod in the washer (DUH) and it would not turn on. I tried everything and finally realized it was not salvageable. I was wondering if the one-year warranty cover accidents such as this. Please help!

The limited warranty doesn't. AppleCare+ does but must have been bought prior to the accident.

IPod nano 6th gen went through washer and dryer

HELP!! iPod nano 6th generation made the trip through the washer and dryer. I put it in a bowl of rice for several days, and it appears not to work. But when I plug it into iTunes it recognizes it, but the screen is blank.
What can I do???
It was a replacement for my 2nd gen nano that experienced battery issues, so it's not under warranty at all. Is it possible to replace the screen or is it cashed out??

Update!
When I plug it into iTunes it's recgonized by iTunes. However the tough screen is totally black.
Is there a way to get that replaced or is it totally hosed.

IPOD Nano 4th Gen still plays but has black screen after being washed

A few months ago my mother washed my iPOD Nano 4th Gen by accident - we had it in a bag of rice for a long time. After a while it refused to start up so we put in a drawer and hoped it would "magically" fix itself.
Few months later... it works (plays music, can select menus..)!
But the screen is black, lol.
I have tried restoring it in iTunes, also resetting the Nano repeatedly with the buttons and fiddling with the hold button, but none of it works... Could the backlight be shot after being damaged in the wash? Is it possible for Apple to restore it even though my warrenty is now gone?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Your problem isn't covered by warranty, so you will get a refurbished iPod. See how much it will cost > http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipod

We have washed our Ipod nano! What can we do?

Hi,
We put our Ipod nano in the washing machince last night and as you can imagine it got washed! I have put it in a bed of rice to help it dry out. What can we do?
Best regards
James

So if you plug it into iTunes you can use it perfectly fine? But as soon as you unplug it stays on for a second and then goes off?
