My iPod shuffle went through the washer and dryer. The little light turns on but no music comes through any headphones. ???

What to do??
Okay so I found my iPod had gone through the washer and dryer. It was perfectly dry. I tried to turn it on, and nothing. But I thought maybe it's just dead. So I plugged it in, let it charge...when I tried to turn it on, the little light went green. I thought hurray!! But I put in the earbuds and heard nothing except some random "Battery level 75 percent." On my sister's earbuds. On my earbuds, which went through the washer too, nothing.
What to do???

It's likely that your iPod is toast.  It does not play well with water and soap.

  • My ipod shuffle went though the washer and dryer, Can I fix It?

    My ipod shuffle went though the washer and dryer,the music works when I put my earbuds in but none of the buttons work on the ipod, I can still hear my music good but is my ipod pretty much done or there is a way I can fix it?

    It's likely that the iPod's contact with moisture and soap has short circuited some of its internal components. Water and soap don't mix well with small electronics.
    At this point, there really isn't much you can do other than start saving for a new one.

  • My macbook pro screen went black and won't display back to the normal screen. When I turn it on I can hear the computer starting up and the keyboard light turn on but the screen stays black. What can I do? Help please!

    Please help! I can't get my screen to turn back on. It just stays black when I turn it on. Is there anything I can do to reboot it or am I just out of luck
    Thanks!

    Did you buy the Applecare extended warranty? If not then you will need to pay for whatever repairs need to be done.
    You will need to take the system to an Apple store Genius Bar for a check up.

  • Please help me with my iPods when connected to the computer is turned on but after disconnecting the computer will not start

    help

    Thanks for your reply, but I've already done that and the Column Browser options are completely grayed out.  I've taken a screen shot and hope I can paste it in here.  You'll see I have the sidebar open.  That's the way I prefer to deal with iTunes.
    This happened after I updated to iTunes 11.0.4.  Perhaps that changed the setting options. I think I had the Column Browser option prior to that, but I just got a new iPod and I was busy loading stuff, so not completely sure if it worked before the update.  But I think I would have noticed, because it bugs me so much not to have the option.

  • My MBP won't turn on. The charger light goes green but then dims out before it goes out again

    My MBP suddenly stopped working when I came back to it. I tried charging it with a couple of different chargers and different sockets. The charger light turns green but then slowly dims down before it turns off.
    I tried all key combinations for starting up - holding the power key for long, Cmd+Opt+P+R with power button, Cmd+R with power button, but none of them work. The laptop won't turn on.
    What could be wrong?

    If you are still under warranty call Apple Care. Make sure you get a case number as all repairs have an additional 90 days of warranty. 

  • My iPod Touch 4G went through the washer and dryer. What should I do?

    My iPod Touch went through the washer and dryer. The battery was working, so I turned it on, and surprisingly, the Apple logo showed up, but there were bubbles in the screen. Upon seeing this, I immediately turned it off, and placed it in a bowl of rice. What are some other ways that I can fix the device, either by by taking it to Apple, or another repair specialist?
    Help needed ASAP!!!

    Put rice and your iPod in a zipline bag (no air). Change the rice daily. Leave it there for about a week. Try opening your iPod. If it doesn't work, take it in for replacement.

  • Daughter's IPod Touch went through the washer!  Any hope?  What to do?

    Her new IPod Touch went through the washer. Can anything be done to salvage it?

    Do not turn it on. Put it in rice for 1 - 2 weeks. Take it out, and attempt to turn it on. If it says to plug it in, you can jump up and down. Plug it in, and charge it. If it works, yay!
    Did you know, if the metal inside was a metal that didn't rust, and no electricity was going through the circut boards, you could wash your iPod as many times as you wanted. Just when you want to use it again, make sure it's dry.

  • IPod nano went through the wash

    I plugged it up to iTunes and it recognized it. It would play the music off of it to. I guesnthe displaynis faulty because of how IT DOESNT TURN ON

  • Daughter's iPod touch went through the washer. Do i need to take the back off somehow before I try putting it in rice?

    Daughter's iPod touch went through the washer. Do i need to take the back off somehow before I try putting it in rice?

    No. Just put it in rice as is.
    You may have success in getting it to boot after using the rice technique, but it will sincerely doubtfully never fully function again.

  • 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. 

  • 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 Touch Went Through washing Machine

    So my ipod touch went through the wassh but not the dryer. I know, it was really stupid. So, i put my ipodd in a bag of rice for a week and it seemed to absorb all the water out of the screen. The ipod looks like it is in perfect condition.
    however, It only turns on if it is plugged in with an old ipod cable, going through firewire. As soon as i unplug it, it turns off. for a while, it connected to my itunes but ever since i reset it, it hasn't. Another problem is when i go to general setting it says i have "No WI-FI"
    I don't have extended warranty. is it time to say goodbye to it or is there anything i can do?

    Warranty does not cover damage, only defects. Putting it through the wash cycle is not a defect.
    Time for a new IPT, most likely. Some credit cards offer damage coverage, perhaps home owners/renters insurance (although the deductible is likely higher than the value of the IPT).

  • Shuffle went thru the wash!

    Help...
    After going through the washer and dryer, It won't hold a charge. It appears on itunes, and it will play from there. Can I replace the battery? and How?

    Make sure it is dried out.......? but the dryer my guess cooked your battery dry !
    On a side note my son sent his nano through the washer and dryer at college and it still works.
    I am betting you have a hotter dryer. When I first got mine I lost it about 1 week after I bought it. I didn't let any laundry get done until I found it. The Shuffle turned out to be hidden in a bag in my truck console, after that point I decided to always use the Lanyard so that it doesn't get missed from it's small size

  • So i connected my ipod shuffle to my apple computer and the status light on my ipod shuffle shows that it is charging but when i look for it on the pc dock or in itunes it doesn't show it at all.... so what do I do???

    If you have not already, I would shut down (power off) your computer.  Do this to Reset your shuffle

    Start up computer.  Run iTunes.  Connect shuffle.
    If you have added a new USB device recently (since the last time it worked properly), you may want to try disconnecting it to see if that makes any difference.

  • I have an older model of the ipod shuffle, we forgot the itunes log in and pass so we created a new one. My question is how to i get that music that is on the shuffle on the computer?

    I have an older model of the ipod shuffle, we forgot the itunes login and pass so we created a new one. My question is how do we transfer that music that is on the shuffle to the computer? It will not let me do anything... The music titles are all dulled out, the only thing i can do is listen to them but I cannot do anything else.
    Please help thanks!

    You do not.  Content is permanently tied to the Apple ID that it was acquired with.
    Sign out of the computer with the new Apple ID.  STOP using the new Apple ID.
    Sign in with the original Apple ID that the content was acquired with.
