If you put your iPod in the washing machine, there is still hope!!!

Hi washed my ipod (accidentally, of course) and I let it dry for almost 3 weeks... AND IT STILL WORKS!!! The secret? LET IT DRY!!!! do NOT try to turn it on... If you try to turn it on right away, you will burn the circuits and your iPod will be ruined! I just hope this is usefull to someone, Good Luck!!!

You can probably wait a couple of weeks to see if it drys up.. I don't think Apple can repare if for free but you can send it in and they will fix it for you but you will get a big fat bill!!! lol

    Leave it in the rice for at least a day and change the rice every other day or so. The rice and iPod should be in a sealed container.

  • What happens when you take your iPod into the apple store for battery replacement?

    I am taking mine in tomorrow. How do they decide if your battery is bad enough to get the iPod/battery replaced? What do they do with your iPod? Do they mess with the apps and data?? Do they search your history to see what you've done on it? HELP!

    By reading the following, Apple exchanges your iPod for a refurbished (includes new battery) iPod. Data is no preserved/restore to the replacement
    Apple - Support - iPod - Service FAQ
    Will the data on my iPod be preserved?
    No. You will receive a replacement iPod that will not contain any of your data, songs, or after-market personalizations. Before you submit your iPod for service, it is your responsibility to keep a separate backup copy of the data stored on your iPod and reinstall that data.
    Attention iPod touch customers: Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data using iCloud or iTunes. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPod touch and does not offer any data transfer service.
    Following service your replacement iPod touch may have a newer operating system (iOS) version and you will need to restore your data using the method used to back it up (iCloud or iTunes). As a result, you may also need to update your App Store applications to ensure compatibility with the newer iOS. If you experience a problem with an application purchased from the App Store, check iTunes to see if an update is available or contact the application vendor directly.
    However, I have heard in this forum that sometimes Apple will just replace the battery.
    If you are concerned I would do one fine sync/backup and then go to Settings>General>Reset>Ease aall content and settings.

  • Ipod And The Washing Machine.

    Hi everyone,
    This is my first time so here goes. On saturday my stupid husband has put my much loved, brand new ipod nano 2gb through the washing machine as he didn't check my coat pockets. It was ok to start with and was still working yesturday (Sunday). However I have gone to put it on this morning and it won't switch on. I have put it on charge but it is putting up the apple symbol then flashing the battery sign up and the going dead again. It is repeating this sequens every few seconds. Is there any way to either get the back off or to get it fixed?????????

    Hmm.. I would have taken the back off right away (when it was still wet). I have fixed many battery operated items by blowdrying it dry right away.. and I have seen (in discussions) someone who laundered their ipod and managed to get it working again by letting it airdry (with the back off). Your ipod may still have some water in it which is causing it to malfunction... although the poster above worried me slightly with the exploding story.
    Get some goggles on, and go for it, I say. It's either that or an ipod funeral. Good thing my ipod's prepared for the occasion... already dressed in black.

  • Forgetting ipod in the washing-machine =__=!

    I forgot my ipod nano in the washing-machine.
    At first it couldn't be turned on.
    After i had plugged it with the charger , it was active.
    But when i unplugged it , the light & words slowly disappeard & the nano turned off .
    What can i do now ? Please help ! thanks a lot

    Leave your iPod to dry out naturally for a week or so. Don't plug it in to any power sources (computer, charger etc.) in the meantime. After that charge it up and with a bit of luck it may come back to life again.

  • If you drop your ipod in the pool will the cameras ever work again

    I droped my iPod touch 4g in the pool and put it in rice. It works again but the cameras dont. I just was wondering if my cameras are able to be fixed? 

    If the iPod is now dry and if yo have the problem after restoring to factory settings/new iPod then there is hardware damage.

  • Can you connect your ipod to the tv like a tvo?

    can you just connect your ipod to your tv and record the shows that are on tv?

    No, not unless you can find a TV which will output in an iPod compatible format, a USB interface built in, and some sort of firmware to emulate iTunes and/or provide control of the iPod as a HD storage device.

  • What to do if you drop your Ipod and the top half of the screen is off and the ipod will no longer recognize your figure when you touch the screen

    So I dropped my Ipod on the floor and the top half of the Ipod came off and the screen will not recognize my figure when I try to swipe it to unlock the screen what do I do. But keep in mind that I have no money to fix it so how do I get it to work again?

    Likely because the drop broke something like the digitizer.
    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.
    - 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.
