IPod nano (generation 4) got washed...

My iPod nano (generation 4) got washed in the washing machine. Is there any way I can "fix" it or at least make it better so I don't have to buy a new one? And if there isn't a way, does the warranty still work if the iPod was washed?
Thanks in advance.

Well from personal experience after accidentally swimming in my pool with my ipod in my pocket I have to say apple has made a resilient peice of technology. After realizing the Ipod was in my pocket I shook all the water from it that I could and used a hair dryer on medium to dry it further. Finally I placed it in a window seal and left it there for 24 hours. When I came back to it I connected it to my computer and after a few seconds to my suprise the apple screen came up and it worked just as good as the day I got it. Dunno if you'll have the same luck but I think the key is to try to get it as dry as possible before trying to get it working.

  • My ipod Nano generation 7 shuts down unexpectedly while using the NIKE  app, has anyone experienced this problem?

    My ipod Nano generation 7 shuts down unexpectedly while using the NIKE  app, has anyone experienced this problem?

    This is not a problem I have only had with 7th gen. iPod.  I have had this problem with the 5th gen.  It goes back a few years.  Nike and Apple are aware of this.  Nothing has been done.  It appears that when the iPod voice commences (whether to update you on the status of your run) and you touch a button to prompt a mileage update or song change yourself (or even brush the device wrong when taking off a jacket), the operating system overloads and cannot sort it out.  It then shuts down and reboots.  Your mileage is lost.  So sorry.  Have a nice day.
    Love the other aspects of running with a nano (small and light weight).  I can keep it high and dry and out of the way.  Like the software.  Use it almost everyday.  Hate the unknown dropped runs.  I have logged over 2,000 miles with these devices.  Today I lost another 3 miles - probably the 30-40th time it has happened.  Frustration is somewhere between time for another device to time for another system - Map My Run indeed!
    This probably occurs with my iPod once or twice a month.  Went to the Apple Store - three times.  The first time was maybe two years ago and they first tried some magic dust and then on the second visit, they swapped out my nano - it was a bit flimsy.  The problem returned.  I then upgraded.  The problem returned.  The third time they did a reset and it seemed to help.  Then, it returned.  But to download an older software version, verify the fidelity of the UBS cable, jump from computer to computer, make a trip to the Apple store, and perform so many two steps on one leg just to get what we paid for seems . . .  well, lame.  And, Apple told us the thingy would work using all the different computers and software (Vista, Nike, etc. etc.).   
    Oh, one other thing.  The Apple Store told me to complain to Nike.  Nike said their software is fine.  This is like dealing with General Motors or the government - but, worse.  Not my problem man.  See the guy over there.  Got it.
    I note that no one from Apple is jumping in the chain here with a fix.  So much for customer exuberance.  Generally like Apple.  We have about 20 Apple devices in our family (desktops, portables, phones, pods, tablets) and are lining up for the watches . . .  but, maybe Apple is an idea who time has come and gone, . . . like the wind.

    Thanks KT, after following your advice the iPod nano and the two cameras are now visible in iTunes or iPhoto and also in Finder.
    The cameras continue to work consistently with iPhoto but since trying to complete a 'Restore' with the iPod nano I've had a string of error messages and it is now no longer useable. I'll be posting for help on this in the iPod discussion forum.

  • Can't download Itunes for Ipod Nano generation 3

    I have just purchased an Ipod Nano generation 3. I have AOl dial-up and run on Windows Vista operating system. I can't download newest verison of Itunes because of Dial-up. What can I do? Can I get another early verison that supports both dial-up and Windows Vista?

    It will work with dial-up but it will take much, much longer to download anything from the iTunes store.

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod nano generation 4 and 5 use the same case?

    Does anybody know if the iPod Nano generation 4 and 5 use the same case? Thanks.
    I'm looking for a neoprene case if possible. . but using with motorcycle so need the
    case to have a back swivel clip for belt....and be secure.
    I've tried ipod touches, but the clickwheel is easiest to operate and not have to look
    down at it.

    Make sure you install the 1.1 update in itunes. There was some sort of fix for this in that update.

  • 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 generation 6 not supported by BMW 525 2009

    I recently bought a Nano generation 6. I connected it with my BMW 525 2009 but got the message that the Nano is not supported. I have an older model iPod (60 GB) that works fine with the same BMW. Are there more users having this problem and does anybody have a solution?

    3GS is still sold officially and new. iPad first generation isn't. Android is even worse about things like this.
    PLEASE don't branch this into twenty different threads, and keep it in the two that already exist.

  • Would  it be more expensive to replace the screen on my iPod nano generation 6 or purchase a new one?

    Today I dropped my sixth generation iPod nano which cracked the screen, and my "Apple Care" has runout. Would I be better off purchasing a new iPod or having the screen replaced by a Springboard Apple Specialist.

    AppleCare does not apply to accidents, so it would not have helped.
    You can get an Apple Certified Refurb iPod nano (8GB) for $99, which has the same one-year warranty as a new one.  And it looks new.  You'll have to get a quote from your repair specialist and decide if it's an economical repair.
