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?

  • 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 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:

    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.)

    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.

  • 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

  • IPod touch got wet, can not restore with iTunes

    I have a first generation 16 GB iPod touch that wicked up water over night from a glass surface. I didn't notice the water until morning when I picked up the iPod. I tried to turn it on but it was dead.
    I dried it out using a desk lamp until moisture was no longer visible under the screen. I connected the computer and the dead battery/charging icon appeared.
    Once the iPod received a few minutes of charge the display changed to 'Connect to I-tunes". I open iTunes and it displays that "an iPod in recovery mode has been detected" and to restore the device. I press restore and iTunes downloads and extracts the software, but either of the following errors occur...
    1. I-tunes tries to communicate and say's 'waiting for iPod', at which time the iPod has the apple logo and the spinning circle. This continues until the iPod is disconnected, and then iTunes says "the iPod could not be restored, an unknown error has occurred (9)".
    2. When iPod is in DFU mode and I open iTunes, It recognizes an iPod in recovery mode and sends commands to the iPod for recovery, iTunes then waits for the iPod and it's display stays black. When the iPod is disconnected iTunes says "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again. An unknown error has occurred (1601). When disconnected and reconnected the computed makes the usb device connected but iTunes doesn't see the device until iTunes is restarted.
    3. I 'shift' click the restore after iTunes recognizes an iPod in recovery mode. I point iTunes to "iPod1,11.1.1_3A110arestore.jpsw" (which is the version it came with) and it almost immediately gives me an error, "The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (20)".
    Since I am getting prompts on the iPod, I am hopeful to start a restore somehow... Is this asking too much ? Is there another way to start a restore ? Or is this something that can be fixed by sending it in for repair ?
    Thanks Kindly

    If it was just plain water it may eventually work again. But..... you broke several rules for trying to save wet equipment: you should never use heat in an attempt to dry and you should never try to charge it or connect it to your computer.
    Slow drying out may be accomplished but putting your touch in a jar with silica gel packs (if you can find them) or plain white rice (NOT 'minute rice'). Then wait!!! several days.
    Or is this something that can be fixed by sending it in for repair ?
    Your touch has built-in moisture indicators (one is the white patch at the end of the headphone jack). If your touch shows signs of moisture, you will not be covered by the Apple warranty.
    Have a little patience and with luck it will work again.

  • My ipod touch got wet and won't turn on can it be repaired

    My iPod touch was out in the rain and now it won't turn on. Can it be repaired?

    yeah it should be able to get fixed one is an costly way
    and one free which you can do on your on which will on cost you a few pounds
    ok first the colstly way ipod/ifone repair web sites will fix wet ipod/ifones but they can charge anything from £39.99 to £79.99 to fix some with have an free post and pack service with royal mail and some will have u pay for this this will cost u £19.95
    ok the free way you will need two soft dry cloths and some where warm first lay one of the cloths down put the ipod/ifone face up lcd faceing up, now but the 2nd cloth over the top of it and leave it alone for 3-5 days after this try powering up ipod via its power button if it powers up and and buttons work it should be able to charge up
    now its the same with the ifone but you need to take the back off and take out both battery and sim leave the back off and cover leave for the same time 3-5 days

  • Accident with IPod; it got wet

    I accidentally let the Ipod get wet yesterday and though it looked alright at the time after I'd dried it, this morning there's a strange icon on it and it's not being recognised by ITunes. The icon is a flashing battery outline with a black bolt of lightning on the end of it: does this mean the battery has died? Can't do anything with it.
    IPod 60GB    

    That sounds like the charging icon. However I think you should let it dry out for another day or so before attempting to use it: iPod: About the battery charge status icon

  • My iPod touch got wet and I used the rice method to save it.

    After 3 days, I plugged it back in and it worked. But the problem is that the home and lock buttons don't work anymore. What can I do? It charges just fine but iTunes cannot detect it seems... So I can't backup my songs and all, which ***** considering the fact that I have over 1k of memories in there.
    Does anybody have a suggestion? I don't mind paying for repairs at Apple, but I definitely want to get my songs.
    The touch-screen works just fine although it has white stripes on it now.

    - It doesn't, no. It feels like something is preventing full movement.
    - No I didn't, but what do you mean by cycling the switches?
    - I think it is, but there were sort of pale stripes in the back of the screen. Would that be water by any chance?
    - Dammit what a shame, is it not possible to extract the iPod's HDD or memory stick (whatever it contains) and recover the songs?

  • HT1438 ipod touch got wet and won't work

    My daughter dropped her ipod in the toilet...nice...now it won't work properly even after we dried it off and put the ipod in rice overnight.
    Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

    Overnight probably don't do any good. Let it dry in rice for three or four days at least. Then try the iPod again. If it will fails, it's almost certainly damaged and you'll have to take or send it to Apple and pay their out-of-warranty replacement charge.
    Regards.

  • My ipod touch got wet 5 days ago and it will not turn on.

    My computer does not recognise that my ipod touch is connected.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs

    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit
