My Ipod nano ended up in the washer! HELP PLS!

Unfortunately nobody told me, so I tried to turn it on, plug it in, and nothing happens.  Is there anything I can do? could it be fixed?

Plugging it in may have been the end of it. You can place it in raw rice (needs to be raw, color doesn't matter) for 4 - 5 days in a cool, dry place.
If it doesn't work make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and do an out-of-warranty replacement.

  • Ipod Nano ends workout in the middle of a run

    My nano ends a workout without me pressing any buttons in the middle of a run. Can anyone help???

    Make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning there is no silver still showing from the headphone's plug.  You should hear a sort of popping/clicking noise when you have fully seated the headphones.  If that isn't the case, make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris.

  • IPod takes a trip through the washer and dryer

    My 14 year old son left his iPod nano (3rd Gen.) in his jeans pocket and it ended going through the washer and dryer. It now doesn't work. I think it's a definate goner, but he insists I find out whether it is fixable.
    Anyone want to take a shot at this one?

    Most likely the battery is shot from that cycle. It MIGHT be fixable with a new battery, but it may not be worth it.
    http://www.iresq.com/ipod/ will evaluate iPods for only $9 and let you know what it will cost to repair...
    http://www.iresq.com/ipod/detail.php?prodID=P010935
    basically you ship it on your dime. They check it out and contact you with the repair estimate. If you decline, they ship the iPod back and you owe nothing more. They keep the $9 of course.
    No first hand experience with these guys, but it might be worth the $9 to determine what the repair will cost.
    Good luck,
    Patrick

  • IPod nano 6th gen went through washer and dryer

    HELP!!  iPod nano 6th generation made the trip through the washer and dryer. I put it in a bowl of rice for several days, and it appears not to work. But when I plug it into iTunes it recognizes it, but the screen is blank. 
    What can I do???
    It was a replacement for my 2nd gen nano that experienced battery issues, so it's not under warranty at all. Is it possible to replace the screen or is it cashed out??

    Update!
    When I plug it into iTunes it's recgonized by iTunes. However the tough screen is totally black.
    Is there a way to get that replaced or is it totally hosed.

  • ITunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video. Any thoughts on why not?

    iTunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video.
    I'm using 2 PCs, each with video files (.MP4) on their respective hard drives, and also one external drive with other video files on that I move between the two devices.
    iTunes on one PC will (sometimes!) let me add video content from the external hard drive, which is clearly iTunes-compatible, because I can then copy it over to my iPod Nano. On the other PC, I couldn't load that same video from the external hard drive. But if I copied that same video on to the PC's internal hard drive first, then iTunes would let me import it. That was yesterday - now iTunes is refusing to load any files from the internal or external hard drive(s).
    Any thoughts or suggestions, please?

    So I tried copying the files from the external hard drive to a USB drive. I could import the video files from the USB drive!
    So then I tried importing the same files on to my PC's internal hard drive again. I could import the video files from the internal hard drive!
    So then I tried to import the very same files that failed to load on the very same PC previously. I could now import them!
    I still can't import from the external hard drive directly, though.
    I really don't think I like the process of importing things into iTunes very much... any suggestions on what's causing any of this behaviour would be very interesting.

  • Ipod nano 7g plays on the dock adapter but there is no sound

    Hi, posting on behalf of a parent.  Recently bought the ipod nano 7g and bought the lightning 30 pin adaper.  When plugged into the stereo the ipod plays as the song timer advances but there is no sound coming through.  Any suggestions what to try.  I did advise buying a new adapter in case it is faulty.

    Check with the manufacturer of the stereo to see if their device is compatible with the adaptor.

  • My iPod Nano is stuck on the Apple logo

    My iPod Nano is stuck on the Apple logo. I have reset and restored it multiple times to no avail. When I slide my finger of the scroll wheel I can hear the clicking meaning that it's actually navigating the menus behind that logo, it even plays music. It can enter disk mode and diagnostic mode fine as well. I can't turn it of though, it just get a little darker when the Play button is held. It's a 5G Nano.
    What can I do to fix this?

    If you have an Apple Store, near you, make an appointment to take it to them. If it's not a hardware failure, they may be able to help.
    Regards.

  • If I trade-in my old iPod nano in-store for the discount, will it apply to something that is already on sale?

    I want to trade in my old iPod nano (2nd gen) for the in-store discount, and then buy a new iPod touch. If the Touch is already on sale, will the trade-in discount apply ON TOP of the sale price?

    I see no disclaimer on the Apple site that says you can't combine today's sale price with other other discounts. However, you have to ask Apple for sure.

    No, you have to send the iPod into Apple in exchange for a 6G Nano. See this page for more information.

  • My new iPod nano does not get the battery life that is advertised

    Help me my iPod nano does not get the battery life that is advertised

    Which battery life are you referring to? Apple's website states the iPod Nano 6th Gen will get "up to 24 hours of music playback when fully charged". There are going to be a lot of things that can change that. Are you using the stopwatch or the count down timer a lot? Are you using the FM radio a lot? Any accessories that you are using with the iPod? These will all have an effect on your battery life.
