I thought I would be the luckiest person alive when my iPod suffered the same fate, and then resurrected. - but you were also lucky.
I can now see why Apple can get away with charging a little extra.
MY IPOD SURVIVED THE WASHING MACHINE!!!
they should put this in an ad or something.

  • My Iphone 4 has been put in the washing machine by accident - help!

    My Iphone 4 has been put in the washing machine by accident - is there any way it can be saved!!

    Most likely it has suffered hardware damage in which case you'll need to take or send to Apple and pay for replacement, either under your AppleCare+ plan if you purchased the plan or by paying Apple's standard out-of-warranty replacement charge:

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • My ipod nano went through the washing machine and I plugged it and it worked, now it kind of died.... help!?!

    I have it under a lamp right now and will place it in a bowl of rice in a couple of hours... Does anybody think it will work!?!? Or fixable in an apple store? I think I should also say that the sensor for nike+ was also plugged while it was in the washer...

    my went throough the washer machince and i did not use rice at all. my brother is using it right now.........but the screen is a little hard to see.  you should plug it back into the computer after yu take it out of the rice.

  • Shuffle in the washing machine

    My shuffle got put in the washing machine by mistake. It was totally dead when it came out...is there any hope? Is there anything I can do to help revive it?

    Yeah..Put it in the dryer.
    I know others were thinking this so I just decided to say it.
    Buy a new one. Sorry to hear that Michael.

  • What do I do when my ipod goes through the washing machine?

    my ipod shuffle went through the washing machine, earbuds and all.Can someone tell me how to properly dry it out or care for it?

    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.

  • Ipod And The Washing Machine.

    Hi everyone,
    This is my first time so here goes. On saturday my stupid husband has put my much loved, brand new ipod nano 2gb through the washing machine as he didn't check my coat pockets. It was ok to start with and was still working yesturday (Sunday). However I have gone to put it on this morning and it won't switch on. I have put it on charge but it is putting up the apple symbol then flashing the battery sign up and the going dead again. It is repeating this sequens every few seconds. Is there any way to either get the back off or to get it fixed?????????

    Hmm.. I would have taken the back off right away (when it was still wet). I have fixed many battery operated items by blowdrying it dry right away.. and I have seen (in discussions) someone who laundered their ipod and managed to get it working again by letting it airdry (with the back off). Your ipod may still have some water in it which is causing it to malfunction... although the poster above worried me slightly with the exploding story.
    Get some goggles on, and go for it, I say. It's either that or an ipod funeral. Good thing my ipod's prepared for the occasion... already dressed in black.

  • Ipod 4th gen went into washing machine Help?

    My son's ipod was in his jeans pocket and I put into the washing machine - not in there long - what can I do?

    Do not try to turn it on or charge it.  That would likely kill it.
    Let it dry for a week or so, then try it.

    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.
