Is there anything I can do for my iPod Classic that got washed with a load of laundry?

Is there anything I can do for an iPod Classic that got washed with a load of laundry? Sincerely appreciate any feedback

John,
Needless to say, one would expect water damage as a result of a washer to be extensive.  That doesn't necessarily mean you have no chance of repair however.  I've seen and heard of a couple of do-it-yourself fixes and, if none of those help, you can always try sending it for repair.
At home, I recommend trying...
Leave the iPod in a bowl of uncooked (raw) rice.  Supposedly, the rice often absorbs the moisture in the surrounding area and, sometimes, from an electronic part.  Leave it for at least 24-48 hours.
Leave the iPod in the sunlight for several hours.  When doing this, make certain to avoid direct sunlight as it may damage the unit.
If all else fails, consider contacting a repair center.  Local is better but, if you have to ship it, contact them and explain your situation before you invest in shipping costs.

    If you created an album containing some of your photo stream photos, this will not be shared using photo stream.  If you want to share a subset of your photos, create a shared photo stream and share it with your wife, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99.

  • Is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    Hey bishopcheen,
    Great question! Apple has announced that these features are coming in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite. For more information, check out the “Messages” section of this page:
    Apple - OS X Yosemite - Apps
    http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/apps/
    Messages gives you so many ways to start a conversation. When your iPhone is nearby, you can send a text message from your Mac to groups of friends, even if they use SMS. Or send a photo of your epic karaoke birthday party, then follow it up with a Soundbite audio clip of your encore performance. With Messages, it’s not just what you say, it’s however you want to say it.
    Now every message on your iPhone appears on your Mac.
    Messages on your Mac has always been a great way to stay in touch. But friends without iMessage couldn’t be part of the conversation. Well, now they can be. All the SMS and MMS messages you receive on your iPhone now appear on your Mac. So you can text any friend without picking up your iPhone. And the conversation stays up to date across all your devices.
    iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are coming this fall. I hope you are as excited as I am!
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Can I connect my iPod classic or universal dock with optical

    Can I connect my iPod classic or universal dock with optical?

    Well, no... not at least with the Apple docks.
    Optical Audio is also called S/PDIF. It is a purely digital signal designed for specific kinds of home theater and HIFI systems.
    The iPod classic does not have such a connection... that being said,  HOWEVER  
    There are some iPod docks that use S/PDIF out.

  • How can I find my iPod touch that got lost ? But I don't have the Find my Phone app .

    How can I find my iPod touch that got lost ? But I don't have the Find my Phone app .
    Please , help me ..

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • Is there anything i can do if my ipod touch is not showing up on  find my ipod ?

    i have the app but yet my ipod is not showing up is there anything i can do?

    OK, I'm gonna assume that you and Little Bo Peep have something in common..
    Here are the facts:
    1.  You have to have the device turned on and it must be connected to WiFi.
    2.  You have to have iCloud and Location Services enabled on the device.
    3.  If someone found or stole the device and then restored it to factory settings, you cannot use Find My iPod/iPhone to find the device, EVER.
    4.  You cannot turn the device on, or enable iCoud or enable Location Services remotely.
    5.  Apple does not have a magic wand or a self-aware computer that can find your device.

  • What do I need to buy in order for my iPod Classic 160GB to connect with my blue tooth speaker

    What do I need to buy in order for my IPod Classic 160 GB to connect with my blue tooth Ultimate Ears Boom speaker?

    Upgrading RAM and your HD will give you some performance gains, but depending on what you are doing, it may not be enough. Your best friend will always be processor speed. This has a direct relation to how many cores and the speed of the RAM.
    However, if you are unable to spring for a new computer, then the options of running more RAM and a biggger, faster HD should ruduce some bottle necks.
    Here is a site where you can check out what your computer can handle http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade They have some charts comparing speed gains with various components.
    Are you using the track freeze option to manage the track count and subsequent demands on your machine?

  • How can I update my iPod classic that will not mount on iMac computer?

    I can't update my iPod classic from my iTunes on my iMac computer with OSX 10.9.  It will not mount or be recognized by iTunes version 12.1.
    I plug it into the USB port and it charges, gives the "Do not disconnect" symbol but the computer does not recognize or mount the iPod at all.  I haven't been able to update the music for years. I have four other devices associated with my Apple ID for automatic downloads. Is it too antiquated to upload any of my music from my computer to it anymore?

    Ahh! The plot thickens!
    I went thru the console and read the error logs. It appears that the .ipsw file does load.....I think. It's been years since I spoke computer....
    Here is what I got after double clicking the .ipsw file and iTunes opened:

  • I have a 5 year old Imac. it does not pick up the wireless internet signal in the same location that my new laptop does. Is there anything I can do to it to fix that?

    I have a five year old Imc that does not pick up a wireless signal in the same area that my laptop does - is that just because it is old? Is there a card widget I could add to the IMac?

    Hello,
    Do any black bars show on the Airport icon at all?

  • HT201269 can i transfer my iPod playlist that was synched with some else's Mac account to my PC & new iTunes account?

    Here's my problem (and take into account I am not technically savvy). I use my iPod nano every day and have an extensive playlist, but my iPod nano is synched with a friend's Mac and under her account, and she has moved out of the area I live in. I downloaded iTunes for Window (7) onto my PC and opened my own account. How do I transfer my playlist from my iPod nano under my friend's Mac account (and there's no way to contact her) to my PC and my own iTunes account? I was told to first "unsynch" my iPod from her Mac using Senuti or Export on my PC, but I cannot find a free version of either program, and don't want to download a free program from a website that may be unreliable. From there, I'm totally lost. So, I basically want to know if this can be done, because I have to hire a technician at my local Apple store to do this whole process for me (I'm terrified of losing my playlist) and want to keep the costs down (they charge $40 per half hour and money is tight for me). I also want to back up my playlist, and looked into creating a Cloud account, but it says to synch my iPod with Cloud first, and I don't dare to try that on my own, so I guess I'll have to pay for the techs to do it. Is there another way to store my playlist, such as a flash drive? Still, I don't dare to touch anything on my iPod without face-to-face technical support. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!

    This is not legal.
    The music purchased with your friends account or owned by your friend does not belong to you and she has no legal right to distribute it to you.

  • My screen has cracked for no obvious reason, is there anything I can do?

    The warrentry says this excluded, but i haven't misused or abused it at all, is there anything I can do?

    Hello,
    I suggest that you bring it to the nearest Apple Shop, and see what they say.
    If they are going to charge you too high for the repairing or refuse to repair it , then you can try iPodResQ at your own risk

    Some cases being reported, but I cant confirm it - they get the replacement from Apple!!!

  • Every time I close my Macbook Air and then go to use it again. My wifi is not connected, I have to go to the network diagnostics and basically find my network and reconnect every time. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    worksafe's link with the KeyChain fix is good.
    This usually happens when KeyChain has two entries for the same WiFi network.
    If repair did not work you can follow the manual steps:
    Disconnect WiFi
    Open KeyChain from Applications / Utilities and find your WiFi network entry(ies) and delete all of them.
    Connect to your WiFi again.

  • I tried to instal lion but my iMac says "install fail because hard drive is damaged and can't be repaired" and my only option is to restart and it immediately tries to download it again, won't let me back to any other screen.  Is there anything I can do?

    I am trying to install Lion and I keep getting a fail message that says "Mac OS X could not be installed because the disk Hard Drive is damaged and can't be repaired". It only gives me the option to restart to try again but fails every time, an no other option.   Is there anything I can do?

    I'll guess that you're upgrading from Snow Leopard? You should be able to start using your original install dvd by inserting the disc and restarting while holding the C key. Run Disk Utility from your install disc  and try to repair the drive. Then try the upgrade again.
