Ipod classic got wet

My water bottle leaked on the way to the gym and ipod after sitting in sun on my dashboard, worked and now all I have his a Green charger on screen and says charged and won't move. Makes a slight beeping noise when I try to control it..however, nothing else...Any suggestions or is it toast?

The best advice I can give you is to leave it in a warm dry place for a day or so. I've read that placing it in a bowl and covering with uncooked rice aids in the drying process. Don't try to use it or plug it in. If it still does not work after a couple of days, it is probably toast. Also, I would not leave it on a sunny dashboard - the extreme heat in a sunny car can do as much damage as the water.

Most likely, water damage.
You can try putting your iPod in a tupperware, half filled (maybe half inch) with rice grains, close the cover for about a week.
If you have done this, as soon as it got wet, higher chances of success, now looks like the water moisture is getting to the LCD screen.
Then you can always bring it to Apple Genius bar, for a an overhaul. (may cost you half the price of a new iPod classic.)

Ipod classic got wet several months ago.

It now displays a red X. Is it dead or is there something else I can do? (plugging in to computer doesn't do anything.)

See here: iPod Displays a Red "X" Icon
Note that is often a sign of a hardware failure, usually the iPod's hard disk.

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:

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.

Ok so yeah my ipod classic got corrupted and it said that I have to plug it into iTunes to restore it and when I do that iTunes says that it is unable to restore the iPod. So i tried it on both my macs and both the iTunes say the same thing!! Please help??

Hi THEAnswer-78,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like iTunes is giving the message that the iPod is corrupt. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Yes, it's likely that the iPod's hard drive is damaged and is in need of replacement.

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 mini got wet..is there any hopes for it? HELP PLEASE

My ipod got wet by mistake. Is there any way that it could survive? Or and i better of just getting a new ipod.
Also after is was wet( i didn't know) i plugges it into the charger and started 2 smell smoke. It didn't catch on fire but the bottom of both the charger and the ipod mini got somewhat burnt.
HELP!

In my opinion you made a big mistake by trying to turn on the iPod by plugging it into the charger without letting it dry out first. You should have left it somewhere warm and dry for at least 4 or 5 days to ensure it completely dried out before attempting to turn it on or plugging it into a charger.
To be honest, I think you need another one!

Ipod Mini got wet!

Hello,
I should tell you all what happend, I was carrying my dog threw a stream, the water was about up to my belly button, (I had no choice.) I'm walking threw the water and get out. My brother goes, "You do know you have your ipod in there right!" I quickly open up the backpack and unfourtunatly the ipod was at the bottom of the backpack getting it wet, along with my Razar,(phone)I looked at my ipod and I guess it restarted all settings and somehow got put to spanish, I changed the setting, and so I didn't fry my mini cuase it had water in it, I reset all settings and turned it off and rapped it up in my jacket.
I hiked back to camp and sat the ipod in the sun for about six hours. I didn't put the ipod in the sun till like two hours from when I got back.
I finally got home two days later and I immediatly plug in my ipod into the plugin in the wall. It has that folder with the exlamation mark. And I searched it up...It didn't make any since, I have a windows comp and evreything.
I unplugged it and put it into my computer, it confirmed with the plugin sound but didn't pop up in itunes, I then uplugged my ipod and the "Do not disconnect," sign pops up. I then left out my ipod so the battry could die so the "do not disconnect" sign can go away.
I came home to today, the sign was gone, I hooked it back up to the wall plugin and there is the folder again!
What do I do now!

I just hooked in my mini and It keeps making the sound a Windows computer makes whenever you plug it in, or unplug it, it keeps making these noises, "Do do" "de do"
then it says "Do not disconnect" then it switches to the apple and goes to the folder with an exlamation mark. Then a window appears and says "What do you want to do with this programm." But there is nothing there?!? whats going on?
