Ipod in washing machine! Help!

I just found my ipod in a shirt i washed in the washing machine. I didn't try to start ist yet, because it is still a bit wet and a friend told me he ruined his one by trying if it was still working before it was totally dry. what should i do?

Put it in a baggie with raw rice or new silica gel packets, put the baggie in a cool, dry place and wait 4 - 5 days.

  • Ipod 4th gen went into washing machine Help?

    My son's ipod was in his jeans pocket and I put into the washing machine - not in there long - what can I do?

    Do not try to turn it on or charge it.  That would likely kill it.
    Let it dry for a week or so, then try it.

  • Nano and washing machine --help!

    So, my daughter sent her ipod nano through the washing machine and it now filled with water. Obviously this is something Apple won't deal with directly, so I appeal to cyberspace. Any ideas on what can be done? How do I open the ipod to dry it out? My 1 year warrantee being voided at this point is not much of a concern. Any and all ideas are welcome. Thanks.

    just let it sit for about 2 to 3 weeks it may dry out but it is probably damaged beyond use

  • IPod Nano + Washing Machine = Death?

    I went to my Grandmothers house for the weekend. I took a shower, but I forgot to take the iPod Nano I recieved not even 1 month prior to todays disaster. My Grandmother picked up my pants and threw them into the washer(No Dryer). After a long wash, she popped open the door and my headphones followed. She dug though the clothing in panic and found my iPod Nano soaking and not responding to any buttons pressed. Is my little music playing companion dead, or is there still hope left?

    Do not attempt to charge or operate a wet iPod!! Doing so can permanently damage your iPod. Electricity and water do not play nice together!
    Set the iPod aside and allow it to dry for several days (a week). Make sure that the iPod is completely dry before you attempt to turn it on. If it works then, and charges properly, consider yourself to be exceptionally lucky. If it doesn't, and does not appear to take a charge, then your iPod has been damaged. You may be able to get it repared by a third party service such as iPodResQ

  • Help, my sons iPod went through the washing machine

    What do we do?

    Hey Bubbybalootoo, you can try the rice thing, but after going through a wash, don't expect much. (Just telling you up front-- so you don't get to excited). Leave it off, do not attempt to use or charge until you dry it out! Place the iPod in a sealed bag of uncooked rice for at least 10 days, (yes; a week and a half). Change the rice every couple of days. After 10 days attempt to turn it on, you may need to charge it. When you do attempt to charge watch the iPod closely, if you note is getting hot, or starts to make crackling sounds or starts to smoke or smell like something is burning UNPLUG IT IMMEDIATELY!! Means something has shorted out. If all appears to charge OK then charge it for 30 minutes keeping a close eye on it. Then attempt to turn on. You may need to Reset or Restore to new or try going into DFU recovery mode. And nothing may work, water is very for electronic devices, as you well know. This is a long shot, but for a couple of bucks of rice worth a try. If nothing works, contact Apple about purchasing an out of warranty refurbished iPod. Will be cheaper then buying new. Apple's warranty does not cover water damage, it is considered abusive use. If you attempted to turn on the iPod before drying it out, then the damage is definitely done, save your rice and buy a new iPod. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

  • Ipod nano in a washing machine

    is there any hope for a 6th generation nano that went through the wash machine??

             Oh boy. Check this article (check the rice method, i've heard it works [sometimes]) for help! If doesn't work, then try rapping the ipod in a towel and letting it set in sun all day!

  • Yesterday i accidenttly Washed my ipod touch in the washing machine!!! What do i do??

    Yesterday, i accidently washed my iPod touch in the washing machine!!! help me!!

    Do not turn on or charge until it is dry. To dry place the iPod in a sealed container with a desiccant (uncooked rice works) for a week and change it daily.  The try:

    It may or may not work OK afterwards.

  • What do I do when my ipod goes through the washing machine?

    my ipod shuffle went through the washing machine, earbuds and all.Can someone tell me how to properly dry it out or care for it?

    When electronics get emersed in liquid, it's not the actual water that causes them to break (although if you spilled something like coke with a bunch of sugar, the sugar would stay in the device even after the liquid of the coke dissolved). What breaks the device is if either it was on when it was emersed in water, or if you turn it on before all the water can evaporate. If so, the water will conduct the electricity between the wires and short circuit the device. If you weren't thick enough to try and turn your device on immediately after you took it out of the washing machine, then it should be fine if you just let the water evaporate. Another technique (to make the water evaporate faster and, on rare occassions, to save a device if you've turned if on while there was still water in it) is to put the device in rice and let it sit overnight. Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • My ipod in the washing machine

    leave it on the heater for a few more days, if that doesnt work your nano is probably messed...you probably gotta go buy another one.

  • IPod put through the Washing Machine

    Well, I put my month old 60 GB iPod through the washing machine this past sunday and as one would assume, I'm having problems with it. As far as it stands right now, when I plug it into my computer it will occosionally alternate between a sign that it's charging or a battery with an exclamation mark. The majority of the time, however, it shows nothing. Also, there was one instance that I connected it to my computer and the apple emblem came up... and stayed up, even after I disconnected it for a few hours. Given all of that information, does anybody have any suggestions or have anything to say to offer me a glimmer of hope that my mistake may be reversed? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    My uncle has had his phone fall in a coffee mug and he managed to revive it but that was becuse he has had this happen befor. I think that you might have already screwed it up forever but it is still worth giving this a shot.
    Let the iPod completely dry out. Dont touch if for like a week or somthing and then it should be ready. Plug it in and if it doesent work its never going to work again. If you get a connection with you computer then you can restore it and it might save it.
    good luck man.

  • 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.

  • Ipod In a Washing Machine

    Hey guys..A few days back, my ipod went with my pants into my washing machine....its all dried up now....and i can plug it into my computer..everything is fine till that moment i plug it out...it ask me to charge...i left it for one full day and the battery is still empty...and i notice when i plug it in, the battery icon doesn't have a lighting but a plug..and in my itunes...it doesn't show that my ipod is charging...please help me guys..

    How long did you let it dry before you tried to turn it on/charge it?
    If you have restored it and it still will not hold a charge you will probably need to have the battery replaced. You can send it to a 3rd party, such as http://www.iresq.com, or buy a battery from a site such as http://www.ipodjuice.com and do it yourself, or Google for more similar businesses.
