My iPod 5 was dropped in a small puddle of water and I put it in rice I've already checked for rust and there's nothing. Now when I charge my iPod it just turns very hot and doesn't power on. Someone help please!

iPod won't turn on after water damage just turns hot and that's it

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
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:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • I jumped into a swimming pool, did a few lengths and then realised that my iPod was in my pocket!!! I have tried putting it in rice but it still won't turn on or anything! Could I get it fixed anywhere?

    I jumped into a swimming pool, did a few lengths and then realised that my iPod was in my pocket!!! I have tried putting it in rice but it still won't turn on or anything! Could I get it fixed anywhere? Or is there another trick to recover it?

    If it is dry (in rice for a week and changing the rice every day or so)
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 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.

  • The latest .key I created is huge,  .... Finder shows it as 5GB.  Other .key of similar slide total are about 300-500MB.  There is nothing different about this one.  It is just .jpg files (photos) and text.  No movies, no audio.  Why so big??

    iMac.  2.4GHz.  Core 2 Duo.  2GB SDRAM.  OS - 10.9.5.   Keynote - 6.2.2 v.1878. 
    I just completed a keynote slide show.  The Finder indicates it is 5.25GB.  It is 200 slides, no movies, no audio of any kind, no special transitions.  It is just photos and some added text explanations.  The individual photos are each 5-6MB, with about 190 photos total.  I have other previous .key's about the size in terms of the number of photos and they are showing in the Finder as taking up 300-500MB.  There is nothing different with this one particular presentation.  I usually organize and store my photos using .key after a trip.  Photos are downloaded into iPhoto (7.1.5) and then I build a keynote presentation by copying the photos as .jpg's out of iPhoto and into Keynote, with text as notes on or under each photo.  Something changed with the latest keynote in terms of file size.  But I can't determined why it required 5.25GB of disc space while other .key's of the approximate same size and content are only taking 10% of that amount.  Anyone have an idea what is going on with keynote is this particular instance???  I know I could compress it, but I want to understand why the last time I used keynote the file size was so huge.    Thanks for the help. 

    Some additional information.  In looking at the package contents info, under the DATA Folder there are several entries for each slide/photo in the .key presentation.  There is a long list of contents that shows each image as:
        pasted-image-1234.png
    and a second list right below that identifies each image again in the .key as:
        pasted-image-small-1234.png
    Both of these lists show image files of 15-25MB for each photo, even though the original .jpg photo was 4-6MB.  They list/show all of the images in the .key, but DO NOT show the added text.  So it appears the package contents indicates two separate .png files for each photo in the .key, but the file size for each is 3-5 times greater than the original .jpg that was copy/pasted from iPhoto.  And for some reason there are two copies of each. 
    There is also a list for the two following image/data files:
        pasted-image-small-small-1234.png
        st12-1234.png
    Both of these lists show a file size of 100-200KB for each image, and again show all of the images in the.key.
    Only the st-xx-xxxx.png list of images also show the added text. 
    Again it appears when I created the Keynote presentation by copy/paste images from iPhoto, Keynote stored multiple copies of each image as .png file several times larger than the original .jpg.   The completed Keynote slide show is so large is almost impossible to work with.  The system is so slow that routine commands are not completed, e.g., trying to "save as" into a .pdf never finishes and I have to "force quit". 
    Still trying to determine why this occurred with the 6.2.2 version.  Any chance I can delete all but the st-xx-xxxx image list and get back to a normal file size??

  • HT201401 When last charging my iphone 5 it got really hot, and then the screen went black. Now my phone wont turn on, register when i plug it into the computer, reset, or charge.

    Plugging it into the wall-nothing.
    Using a different cord- nothing.

  • When recharging my "new ipad" the transformer gets very hot and it takes 12hrs or more to achieve 100%. Anyone else having this problem? The transformer gets so hot i am afraid it will melt or syart a fire.

    When recharging the transformer gets extremely hot , so hot i am afraid it will melt down. It takes almost 20 hrs to reach 100%. Any ideas?

    This is very unusual.
    If you are using cable that came with your iPad than I suggest going to the nearest Apple Store. This does not seem to be a software issue so I can not help you with that

  • My chat and private messaging is not working, i can still see everyone who is online but nothing happens when i click on them, I have shut down everything and started over, and still nothing, what do I do?

    i can not chat or private message, i can post to others. what do i do

    Your UserAgent string in Firefox is probably messed up by another program that you installed. <br />
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
    type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.'' <br />
    Filter = '''general.useragent.''' <br />
    Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset'''''. <br />
    Then restart Firefox
    Once that is fixed, see if chat and private messaging are still giving you a problem.

  • My macbook pro was on sleep mode, and when i opened it again, it wouldn't come off the black screen. It is very hot and also doesn't respond to the power button...

    My macbook pro was "asleep". I opened it later, and the screen wouldn't change from black.. The bottom of the laptop is very hot and making a hissing/whirring sound. I tried hitting the power button to turn it off, but the conditions just stayed the same. It doesn't respond to the power button, and the screen just stays black. How do i fix this?!

    I will go to the Apple store.  I just thought I would throw it out there to see if anyone had a solution.  They repaired this macbook before twice.  The last time they replaced several things to fix the screen.  I just threw out the question to see if someone could save me the trip to the store. 
    I was curious if the new programs (like lego games) can cause the computer to run to a point to blank the screen.
    And curious if there are other things I can try to get the screen up and running.

  • My iPod touch 4G keeps getting very hot and the apps keep crashing

    My iPod Touch 4G has been getting very hot and the apps keep crashing. What can I do?

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart..  Reset..  Restore from Backup..  Restore as New...
    Try a Reset of the Touch... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Touch Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Touch On...

  • My ipod nano was working fine until i uploaded some new tunes today.  It sync properly and once disconnected it just switched off and would not even turn on.  I have put it on charge for a few hours but nothing happens, infact the charger is getting hot.

    The backlight burned out from getting it wet. You will have to replace the screen at a 3rd party shop, buy a screen and replace it yourself, or make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and do an out-of-warranty replacement for $199 USD.

    except this major point i must admit the quality is quite good , but a bick lack of quality control and a customer disapointed at the end.
    On the internet site it is not possible to send it back. So apple doesn't want to take in account that they mail sometimes fail, and want to satisfy their customer, because you have no other choice that accepting it.
    best regards

    Yes it is returnable.
