My ipod got wet and half works

my ipod got wet and still turns on but doesn't work when i plug it into my laptop

Put your iPod in a Zip-Lock bag with Silica Gel Packets. Let it sit overnight (or two) and the Silica Gel will pull the moisture from the iPod, it's internal parts, and dry it out. Simply air drying does not remove moisture from the components. You'll find Silica Gel in with all new electronics, Tvs, Phones, etc. for a reason.
Just google Silica Gel Packets and you will find a number of vendors selling!

My iphone4 got wet and was working right after but I shut off and have in bowl of rice by dehumidifier. But now it only turns on when plugged in. If I take to an Apple store will they be able to tell me if it's salvageable ?

Apple will not attempt to salvage it. They will offer you a replacement iPhone 4 for $149.

MY IPOD GOT WET AND NOW IT WON'T TURN ON! D8

Help! My iPod was in my bag and my water bottle leaked all over everything and I had not discovered my iPod was wet until I got home. D8

I've heard a lot of different theories on how to revive water-damaged iPods. You should search the forums--you will most likely get hundreds of similar posts. Methods I can think of off of the top of my head are:
1. Put in a warm bowl of rice in a warm spot
2. Put on a sunny windowsill for several hours
3. (probably don't try unless you're totally desperate) put in a warm oven on a towel with the door open for a very short time
These are only a few options... if you use the search option you will find many, many more.

My ipod got wet and now it keeps turning on and off.

i got my ipod wet and now it doesn't even have enough power to charge. it just keeps turning on and off

- Yes. Restoring the iPod erases the iPod.
- Try a reset to:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restoring
- Next try DFU mode

- If you can't turn it off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.

Help My ipod got wet and won't turn on

Recently an accident happened where water was spilled onto my brand new ipod chromatic, I have no idea what to do and let it sit out to dry. Does anyone know if it wil work afterwards or something I can do to help/ fix it?

Water is bad. At least when it comes to anything that runs on electricity.
If you tried to turn it on immediately after it getting wet, you are probably in trouble. Everyones first instinct is to turn something on after they drop it in water or get it wet and that is the LAST thing you want to do at that point!
If you get any device wet, DO NOT TURN IT ON! You need to let is sit and dry out before you try to turn it on.
As for your specific case. Try letting it dry out completely, then try turning it on. Put it somewhere dry and warm for a day or two.
If it still does not work, you may be out of luck.

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

My ipod got wet and I can't shut it off

I'm drying out my iPod, which got exposed to water (not completely submerged) about 3 hours ago. Don't even ask—it's a long stupid story involving an impossible line at the DMV in midtown NYC and a water bottle that wasn't as secure as it should have been.
The problem is, I can't shut the device off at this point... and everything I've read online suggests that it should be shut off prior to the drying out process to avoid permanent damage. I've already seen a big red X with a "contact support" alert come up on the screen. Is there anything else I can do or simply wait for it to dry enough to power it down?
Thanks.

Since you can't switch it off.
Put it in a dry place for a week (a rice box is a good idea) and try to use a hair air-blower (warm but not hot) to dry it.

Ipod shuffle WET AND NOT WORKING

DELL INSPIRON Windows XP MY SON JUMPED IN THE POOL WITH HIS IPOD SHUFFLE. WE LET IT DRY OUT AND THE COMPUTER RECOGNIZES IT AND UPDATES IT BUT WHEN WE DISCONNECT IT THE LIGHTS WONT EVEN COME ON,
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?

WHATEVER you do, do NOT put it in the oven, even with the door open and it at its lowest setting. i heard of someone who did that, and they totally killed their ipod. made me laugh out loud
yah, i agree with them-- please dont shout out the whole post. if you want to make a point, only use caps on single words. see 1st line for example.
and, this is a nano discussion board. not a shuffle. unless, youre really desperate, and put it on every discussion board concerning ipods. these last 2 paragraphs is not important.

My ipod got wet and now the screen does not respond to touch

i droped my ipod touch in some water and used the rice method to save it but now now it will turn on but it won't respond when i try to touch it. any ideas

Try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod. If yu still have the problem then it appears that the water damaged your iPod and service is required.

Blah Blah... Was it your friends fualt??? Still not covered in Waranty
Put it in a powl of rice to dry it...

My macpro buckled and broke up a year ago. A month ago got wet and I dried it near a heater. It froze and the mouse can not click the connection through. After three weeks I plugged in readjusted the date and it worked for about 20 minutes.. any idea?

My laptop macbook pro fell with me out of a truck and buckled last June 2012. It still worked although bent and open. A month ago it got wet and stop working and I dried it near a heater and it worked. The battery is dead. Then it froze on the screen the mouse can not grab the attention of the screen when it clicks. The track pad no longer responds and has buckled more. Then after three weeks of not touching it I plugged it in reset the date and connected and it worked. I began to back up my material and then it froze again.

Though the MBP may be disfigured, there is a real possibility that the HDD is still functional. Take it out of the MBP and place it in an enclosure and connect it to another Mac. You may be able to recover all of your data.
Ciao.

Greetings Socs4bill,
It seems your iPod has been exposed to liquid and is not operating properly. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your iPod needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.
