Leave it in the rice for at least a day and change the rice every other day or so. The rice and iPod should be in a sealed container.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $149. They do not fix yours.

  • My iPod Touch 3G is in DFU Mode and I can't get it out of it,how do i do this?

    A few days ago i got my iPod into DFU mode and i can't get out of it.I've tried installing the new iOS but that hasn't worked and it wouldn't restore in iTunes.Please Help!

    How did you get your iPod into DFU? I can't get mine into it and I have a 3G. And to get out of it I know you have to press and hold the Home and Power button together till you see it start up.

  • Is there any way to get my photos and videos off a ipod touch 5th gen that went through the was and does not work anymore?

    My ipod touch 5th gen went through the wash the other day while it was on and it came out not working at all. I was wondering if there was a way to get any of my photos and videos off of it so i could put them on my computer. Anything will do, from do it yourself methods to companies that will do it for you.

    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore another iPod, iPad or iPhone from that backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:
    Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting photos (only) from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - A data recovery company can likely get them off the iPod. Be prepared to pay alot. Google for iPhone data recovery

  • My iPod 5th gen touch won't turn on after running out of battery and then being charged for several hours

    I was using my ipod touch 5th gen, when it ran out of battery. I wasn't able to charge it all night because the lighting adapter plug broke, and so this battery sign and the lighting charger sign kept popping up telling me to charge it. It ran like that all night and when I woke up it wouldn't turn on at all. I tried plugging it into a few different computers to charge it, and after several hours it still won't turn on. I tried plugging it into my computer with iTunes up, but it still would not charge and my computer would not recognize that it was there. Anyone want to give me some tips?
    Thanks

    Not Charge

  • I recently dropped my ipod in water and i placed it into rice for 3 days. Then when i try and connect it to the computer it shows the no battery screen with just the lightning bolt. and when i try to restore it the screen flashes then resest

    Then when i try and connect it to the computer it shows the no battery screen with just the lightning bolt. and when i try to restore it the screen flashes then resest to the no battery screen and i get error 1602. Do you know what is wrong with it? do you think its just the battery cause i can replace that for cheap or do you think the circuts are fried?

    No. It sounds like the water destroyed the component inside the iPod.
    About your only choice now it to take it to Apple and pay for a replacement.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • HT204053 My daughter has a phone on my account how can I get her messages to come to my iPad with a different number but all under my name.

    My daughter has a iPhone five under my account how can I get her messages to come to my iPad? Under my number?

    This can happen when you both share the same Apple ID for iMessage.  You can continue to share the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores, but you should use separate IDs for iMessage and FaceTime.
    To fix this, on one of the phones, to go Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID.  Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • Can't get scanner to show up in CS5... Twain & 32-bit mode didn't work!

    I have an Epson Perfection 2400 scanner and Snow Leopard with CS5. I installed the optional plugins for CS5 that included the Twain plugin which is in the Import-Export plugin folder. I also set Photoshop CS5 to open in 32-bit mode and it still will not show the scanner.
    The scanner shows up in the System Preferences under Printers & Fax and I can scan from there. I would really like to be able to scan out of Photoshop. Please help if you can! Thank you.

    …just fyi... we have an Epson Perfection V350 Photo that is on another computer using the same hardware (Intel-Based Mac, Snow Leopard, CS5) and it does show up in Photoshop after installing the Twain driver and opening Photoshop in 32-bit mode…
    Assuming you did install the scanner driver on this other machine, you may need to trash your Photoshop's preferences by holding down Command+Option+Shift as you launch Photoshop, then checking the appropriate box in the ensuing dialog box.

    No, what all those forums messages advise is to forget about scanning from inside Photoshop.  I'm pretty sure that's what Christoph Pfaffenbichler was implying.
    Stand-alone scanning utilities like VueScan and $ilverfa$t or your scanner's own stand-alone scanning software do a better job and they don't tie up Photoshop while you scan.

  • My Ipod Touch 5th generation got wet and I put it in some rice for a day now I can hear the sound of it charging but it is nothing is appearing, ehat should I do?

    I already troed reseting it and no avail, what should I do

    Did you try drying for at least 7 to 10 days in a sealed bag? Changing the rice daily? Do not use turn on OR attempt to charge until you get it dried out! A day or 2 will not dry an iPod out, and even if you do get it dry, it's no guarantee that it will work, but a couple of bucks of rice is a lot cheaper than a new iPod. If you dried it for a week and charged it for at least 30 minutes and tried resetting and still no joy you could try restoring it, just to say you did, but it does not look good. Your most likely looking at a new iPod or a refurbished one from Apple, water damage is not covered by the standard warranty. Hope this helps, Good luck.

  • How can I get "Read Out Loud" to read a calander properly for the blind?

    I create a monthly newsletter for a place that has a traditional calendar along with it.  One of the people this newsletter goes to is blind and uses a screen reader to read it out loud.  I also discovered Adobe Reader can also do this.  Unfortunately, both methods do not seem to understand how a calendar is read.  Each day on the calendar has several events written into each.  So when it reads, it goes from left to right with first reading the numbers of the day, then reading the first line of events all the way across, then second, third, etc... the will read the next row of day numbers along with the events, etc...  Of course I want it to read the single day number with the events next, then the next day number and events, etc...  I use InDesign to create everything if that helps at all.  Is there any way to create this PDF so a reader will read it properly?

    Hi,
    Acrobat's ROL, while I find it very useful, is limited.
    After all, it is not a "AT" caliber text reader.
    It "reads" PDF page content left to right --- period.
    It has no recognition of the logical hierarchy or structure of a PDF's content.
    Consequently, what you've described is pretty much all you get.
    For AT (JAWS, Windows Eyes, NVDA, etc.) to "work" a PDF properly the PDF must come from an authoring application that supports Tag management for the Tagged output PDF.
    The authoring file content must be mastered in a manner that supports a Tagged output PDF that complies with ISO 32000-1:2008 (The ISO Standard for PDF).
    (Available via: http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/leonardr/adobe-posts-free-iso-32000  )
    This is particularly true for tables.
    Typically, "calendars" available for MS Word, other word processors or page layout applications usage are "layout" tables and as such will not provide an accessible table in a Tagged PDF.
    A calendar, built as a data table such that it had a header row with header cells, a table body with data rows of data cells, etc,. could be the source content for a correctly built <Table> in PDF.
    Such a table can be processed by AT (via appropriate keyboard commands) to permit understanding of the "who-what-why-..." of the table.
    With an appropriate table description, you'd have an AT "usable" calender.
    The calendar could be mastered in MS Word.
    Conversion to PDF via Adobe PDFMaker or Office 2007's Save-As to PDF (with accessibility option selected) result in well-formed Tagged PDF.
    n.b., Regardless of which may be used - be sure you've processed all available updates (Adobe's or Microsoft's) - it makes a difference.
    From viewing InDesign/Accessibility eSeminars provided by Adobe I believe you can master tables the will be well-formed <Table> & child elements with InDesign. Until InDesign / FrameMaker get a make over <TH> Scope will still have to be done manually with Acrobat Pro.
    If you have complex tables that warrent use of ID and Header you will want to use Acrobat 9 as the task is easier with it.

  • My MacBook Pro crashed and  need the files on my hard drive, but I only have a Windows PC. How can I get then out?

    Hi H,
    The first MBP was produced in 2006, so you either don't have a MBP or it's from 2006 or later.
    You have no backup?
    What "crashed?"
    If the HD is good, you can put it in an external enclosure and access it with a Mac from there.
