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.

  • I recently updated my ipod to ios8 and now it won't turn on !please help me!!!!!!!!

    I seriously need my ipod to work but since I downloaded ios8 a day ago it won't turn back on.

    - 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 another cable              
    - 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.

  • My iPod touch screen got wet and now it won't register any touch.

    I had just gotten out of the ocean and when I went to check my texts, my hair dripped a bunch of water onto my iPod's screen. I wiped it off, but when I tried to scroll through my inbox it didn't register. I was able to get it to turn off, but it took a while to get it to register.

    Place the iPod in a sealed container of uncooked rice for five days or so to dry the iPod. Then try resetting and restoring the iPod.
    One concern is that even if it works for awhile the salt water may cause corrosion of interns and cause the iPod to not work later.

  • 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.

  • My iPod got shampood and now it won't connect to my Mac. Ideas?

    The big problem is that ever since the shampoo, the iPod won't recognize the connector cable. It keeps asking for USB cable even though that's what it has. the iPod still plays perfectly and will charge when connected to the computer, it just won't connect the music... HELP!!

    Do a search for iPod repair companies. Some of them will give you a quote on what it will cost to repair your ipod. This would probably be cheaper than Apple repairing it.

    If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost under your warranty.

  • I haven't used my iPod touch 4g in a while and now it won't turn on or connect to my computer to charge.

    I haven't used my iPod touch 4g in a while and now it won't turn on or connect to my computer to charge. holding power+home isn't working either. i've had it plugged in for a while, but i'm pretty sure that's pointless if it won't even connect....help?

  • As I downloaded new software upgrade in my iPod nano 7 th gen and also new iTunes upgrade then all data on my iPod got erased and now when I am trying to sync it again then sync button is disabled on the windows screen . Kindly help

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

    iPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it won't charge or be recognized in iTunes because it's completely dead; it's been dead for 3 days now. I've tried pressing home/sleep buttons for reset but nothing works, I've tried using different usb ports to charge it, but nothing seems to work. Please help asap. ...Thanks!(:

    After charging the iPod for half an hour, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

    Seriously?  If your phone's not working, bring it to Apple for evaluation.

  • 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!
