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 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.

My iPod went through the washing machine. Can it be saved? What should I do?

My iPod went through the washing machine. Can it be saved? What should I do?

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.

Connecting IPOD Nano to Windows ME machine

Can anyone tell me how to make the new IPOD nano that my Mother got for Christmas work with their Windows ME machine.
Windows ME will not download Itunes. Isn't there some other way to get music onto the Nano.
They tried to get help from a dealer but he told them they were out of luck.
They don't live near me and I am doing all my troubleshooting by phone.
If there is another program that they could use that is simple to install on their machine that would be great.
Thanks for the help.

iTunes for Windows was first introduced for Windows 2000 so there isn't a version that works natively with either 98 or ME. You could have a look at XPlay, Anapod or Ephpod which will work with Windows 98/ME. However XPlay and Anapod are commercial programs so you might consider it worth the extra expense to upgrade to XP (which you may find at a discount price now that Vista is out) if the computer will run it. You also need to check that those programs will work with the latest iPods which have had changes made to the software. Staying with 98/ME, you may also require drivers, there is a link in the Anapod page to suitable iPod/USB drivers:
XPlay 2
Anapod Explorer Windows 98/ME Support
EphPod

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.

Ipod nano has been washed

My "wonderful" 12 yr old son left his ipod nano in his jeans pocket (in a leather case) and it got washed! It turns on when plugged into the pc and works normal, but when he unplugs it from the pc it turns off. Is the stupid thing salvagible or does he have to suck it up and get over spending his own hard-earned money on junk?
ipod nano 2nd generation Windows XP

Can you help me, please?
My daughter's iPod fell in a water bowl and now it
is frozen.She tried plugging it to the computer to
charge it and then she pressed menu and center at
the same time and all it does is light up the screen
for a few seconds. Just a white screen. Then it goes
off.
It's out of warranty.
Someone suggested to open it and use a hair dryer at
low speed to dry it. We don't know how to open the
iPod.
Can you help?
IF it's out of warranty it must be a 1st Gen nano.

Ipod nano keep crashing my machine

Hello everyone,
I currently installed the new update 06-28 for my ipod nano, I guess I didn't disconnect my ipod properly (i.e. safely remove hardware before I unplug it). So now when I turn on the ipod itself, I have lost all the songs/photos however in the memory section it shows I have used 1.3gb. When I try to connect my ipod to my pc, it just want to crash every window I open (i.e. When I open "my computer" it just freezes, same thing applies to different windows. Then it jumps to a black screen) So I've followed the 5 R's rule suggested from apple. I tried using the ipod updater to restore my ipod, but when it was initializing, the ipod updater window freezes. The itunes does not recongize my ipod at all. Everytime i turn my ipod on, it starts off with the select language page. And therefore I wonder did I do some serious damage to my ipod? I have reintalled the newest itunes and ipod updater too, but still doesn't solve the problem.
Totally frustrated, any help will be appreicated. Thanks
Ray

Hello again,
Disconnect your iPod from computer.
Try resetting it (hold menu and center down together for 6 seconds), then put it into disk mode. Connect your iPod back to your computer and see if things work.
See if this might help...
Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or Quicktime software in Windows
Also, something else you can do is what has helped a lot for some when they're having iPod Updater recognition problems; you might wanna do, if it might fix your problem.
Pick up your iPod, hold it over a carpeted surface, with the play/pause vertically facing the ground. Then drop it at waist-height.

Nano through the washing machine

MY nanon went through the washing machine. The wheel is non-responsive and the screen keeps flipping through different screens. Does warranty cover this?

Does warranty cover this?
No. It's almost inconceivable that it will work again and Apple will never agree to replace it free of charge under the warranty.
Your house insurance might cover it though??

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 Touch Went Through washing Machine

So my ipod touch went through the wassh but not the dryer. I know, it was really stupid. So, i put my ipodd in a bag of rice for a week and it seemed to absorb all the water out of the screen. The ipod looks like it is in perfect condition.
however, It only turns on if it is plugged in with an old ipod cable, going through firewire. As soon as i unplug it, it turns off. for a while, it connected to my itunes but ever since i reset it, it hasn't. Another problem is when i go to general setting it says i have "No WI-FI"
I don't have extended warranty. is it time to say goodbye to it or is there anything i can do?

Warranty does not cover damage, only defects. Putting it through the wash cycle is not a defect.
Time for a new IPT, most likely. Some credit cards offer damage coverage, perhaps home owners/renters insurance (although the deductible is likely higher than the value of the IPT).

My ipod went through the washing machine!

Ok, i have a 1GB shuffle and not realizing it was still in my pants, it went through the wash and dryer. Is there anyway to salvage it?

A friend of mine has a son who left his Nano in his pants that went through the wash and dryer. After sitting around for a few days it came back to life. They life in a dry desert community, so other parts of the world you may need to wait longer.
Hope it comes back for you,
Patrick
