  • My ipod shuffle went though the washer and dryer, Can I fix It?

    My ipod shuffle went though the washer and dryer,the music works when I put my earbuds in but none of the buttons work on the ipod, I can still hear my music good but is my ipod pretty much done or there is a way I can fix it?

    It's likely that the iPod's contact with moisture and soap has short circuited some of its internal components. Water and soap don't mix well with small electronics.
    At this point, there really isn't much you can do other than start saving for a new one.

    i try to charge my ipod 4th generation but can not see the battary been charge and also cannot connect to itunes on my computer

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

  • Hi. The buttons and wheel of my iPod 4th generation do not work. The hold button resets the iPod, and the shuffle shake works. The music plays by shuffling but I can't access albums etc due to the buttons and wheel not working.

    Did you restore from backup?
    Next would be to restore to factory settings/new iPod since maybe you have some corruption in the backup

    As RG said, Apple replaces defective or damaged iPods; they don't fix yours. The Genius Bar is the technical support counter at Apple's retail stores. If you don't have an Apple Store in your area, you will need to call Apple support and arrange service:

  • IPod nano 6th gen went through washer and dryer

    HELP!!  iPod nano 6th generation made the trip through the washer and dryer. I put it in a bowl of rice for several days, and it appears not to work. But when I plug it into iTunes it recognizes it, but the screen is blank. 
    What can I do???
    It was a replacement for my 2nd gen nano that experienced battery issues, so it's not under warranty at all. Is it possible to replace the screen or is it cashed out??

    Update!
    When I plug it into iTunes it's recgonized by iTunes. However the tough screen is totally black.
    Is there a way to get that replaced or is it totally hosed.

    My wife bought me a new one.  It shows up on  my computer (windows vista), but Itunes doesn't recognize it.
    How do I get Itunes to recognize it.  I spent a lot of time recording my old cassetes and don't want to start all over again.  I just want to get back to where I was.

  • My iPod shuffle went through the washer and dryer. The little light turns on but no music comes through any headphones. ???

    What to do??
    Okay so I found my iPod had gone through the washer and dryer. It was perfectly dry. I tried to turn it on, and nothing. But I thought maybe it's just dead. So I plugged it in, let it charge...when I tried to turn it on, the little light went green. I thought hurray!! But I put in the earbuds and heard nothing except some random "Battery level 75 percent." On my sister's earbuds. On my earbuds, which went through the washer too, nothing.
    What to do???

    It's likely that your iPod is toast.  It does not play well with water and soap.

  • IPod takes a trip through the washer and dryer

    My 14 year old son left his iPod nano (3rd Gen.) in his jeans pocket and it ended going through the washer and dryer. It now doesn't work. I think it's a definate goner, but he insists I find out whether it is fixable.
    Anyone want to take a shot at this one?

    Most likely the battery is shot from that cycle. It MIGHT be fixable with a new battery, but it may not be worth it.
    http://www.iresq.com/ipod/ will evaluate iPods for only $9 and let you know what it will cost to repair...
    http://www.iresq.com/ipod/detail.php?prodID=P010935
    basically you ship it on your dime. They check it out and contact you with the repair estimate. If you decline, they ship the iPod back and you owe nothing more. They keep the $9 of course.
    No first hand experience with these guys, but it might be worth the $9 to determine what the repair will cost.
    Good luck,

  • My iPod Touch 4G went through the washer and dryer. What should I do?

    My iPod Touch went through the washer and dryer. The battery was working, so I turned it on, and surprisingly, the Apple logo showed up, but there were bubbles in the screen. Upon seeing this, I immediately turned it off, and placed it in a bowl of rice. What are some other ways that I can fix the device, either by by taking it to Apple, or another repair specialist?
    Help needed ASAP!!!

    Put rice and your iPod in a zipline bag (no air). Change the rice daily. Leave it there for about a week. Try opening your iPod. If it doesn't work, take it in for replacement.

    Get a new phone, either by buying the latest model or getting an OOW replacement and you will receive one like the one you have now.

  • HT5616 i have an ipod 4th generation nano with one apple id. and i created another id for my iphone 4. I bought some songs on itunes and loaded them on my phone. But now i am not able to retrieve them to transfer to my library. I can see them, but they ar

    when i try to retrieve the songs into my library it says that my computer is connected with another apple id and that i have to wait 90 days. Do I have to wait to be able to retrieve my songs that I purchased? Do I have to wait all the time when I purchase songs from itunes? Its driving me crazy that I bought these songs and are not able to listen to them on my other apple products. Such as my ipod nano 4th generation, and my iphone 4. Your help is appreciated, thank you.

    Hey renie1515,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    When you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
    Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
    Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • I have an old ipod that got put through the washer. I want to restore it but i already have a new ipod. How can i restore my old ipod without losing all of my new itunes songs?

    I accidently put my old 2nd generation Ipod nano through the washer a few years ago. Well after that it would no longer work do to water damage. After a while i got a new Ipod (the same type) and was able to get new songs to put on it and what not. Well i was playing around with the one i washed opne day and found that i could still restore it on iTunes. However, it wont let me restore it without losing all of my music and what not that i got for the new one. I would like to continue to use the old one, but I am afraid of losing all of my current stuff. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can restore the old and keep the new? I am in desperate need.

    Well, two thoughts.
    The battery has completely discharged and will take overnight to recharge, so don't expect much in an hour.
    The battery has deep discharged and is now dead. It will never recharge and should be replaced.
    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.
    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.
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone 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. Start with Google to search for these.
    The flat fee for a battery exchange is, I believe, $99.00 USD.
