My iPod Touch 2G fell in water for about 2 seconds and I can't find a solution that will work to fix it. What can I do?

What is a successful solution to fix my iPod Touch 2G?I do NOT have a warranty on it. It fell in water 2 days ago and it has been in a bag of rice since, but it won't work. It does show a water damaged screen, nothing else and no sound. I don't even know if it's on or off. Please help?

You should continue to dry it in rice for a week and change the rice daily.
All you can do is dry the iPod. Turning on the iPod before it is dry can can cause permanent damage.

I am trying to transfer files from my PowerBook G4 (OSX 10.4.11) to my new iMac (Mountain Lion). Migration assistant tells me I need to upgrade migration assistant on the G4, but I can't find a download that will work for anything older than OSX 10.5.

Yes, my PowerBook G4 is still trucking along. It is running OSX 10.4.11, but I just bought a new iMac that is running Mountain Lion. I just tried to use Migration Assistant. It told me to update Migration Assistant on the G4, but I can't find an update for anything earlier than 10.5. Is there a way to get my files transfered, or am I going to need to update the OS on my computer I was getting ready to retire?
Thanks!

You never know, someone might remember. What happens in detail when you try to use it, and HOW are you trying to use it?

Turn it off and stick it in a cup of rice for 1-2 days, making sure it is completely submerged in the rice. This will draw out the moisture.
Works like a charm.

Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.

I am trying to use an education program that needs Java applets to install and use and it will not use Safari. When I download IE from the web it will not install. How can I get a browser that will work on my MacAir for travel use of this program?

I am trying to use and education program that needs Java applets and it will not run on Safari. IE will not install from the web. How do I get a browser that will work to install so I can use this program when I travel.

Try using FireFox. IE will only run on a Mac if you run Windows on the Mac.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Help! I just installed the latest update on my IPhone 4 and now I can't access my podcasts. When I hit the podcast I on, the screen goes blank for a second and then opens to the home screen with all my icons. What happened?

Try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously you see the Apple logo and then release.

IPod Toch G.3 / Applications open for 3 seconds, and shut down automatically

Hello,
I have a customer on an iPod touch Gen. 3 / iOS 4.x with an issue running my own app iRuleThem. He wrote me that my App won't open or start. The screen turns black when he taps the icon and then remains black. According to this out-dated thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/8804168#8804168 there are/were others out there with the same bug on different universal third party apps. Comment: "They should work on the iPod Touch because they don't require an iPhone environment."
But the thread wasn't leading to any satisfying solution at all.
Have you self experienced such issues on other apps?
Was an update of the iPod Touch to iOS 5.0.1 of any help?

I could fix the issue. But I have to buy an iPod Touch to see behind the cause. Therefore I decide to keep other developers up-to-date to save their money :). But currently I'm falling in love with this device - G.4 rocks!
This information is very useful for iOS developers who wan't to support all iDevices. The way to go is building an universal app.
In the 'App.plist' configuration file you define the starting point with the 'Main nib file base name' Key. It leads to the UI's first window for all given platforms. There are 3 keys I have now in use to support iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. The iPhone 4 and the iPod Touch G.4 are nearly the same in hardware (resolution, processor, memory, ...) but they use different keys. Something I haven't expected properly :(.
- 'Main nib file base name (iPhone)'
..... is only meant for iPhone and doesn't execute on iPod Touch !
- 'Main nib file base name (iPad)'
..... is iPad only with other resolution
- 'Main nib file base name' - without any parentheses nothing like (iPod)
..... is used by iPod Touch or iPhone (not tested with iPhone --> I use this key only for the iPod Touch)
That's because the Touch was released after the iPhone. It's absolutely fine to could define another interface. When this key ('Main nib file base name' - without anything) in the configuration file is missing it won't execute the (iPhone) UI. That's was unpredictable for me so I was a little stressed during the last few days. It's now fine and and my update will reach soon the stores..

My iPod Touch 4th Gen Camera's screen turns black and nothing is visible, but on FaceTime, camera does work.Help?

When I open up the camera app on iPod Touch 4th Gen, the screen stays black and you are not able to take a picture/video. On the other hand when i'm FaceTiming someone, the front and back camera works fine. I went to the genius bar at the apple store and they restored my iPod and the camera was still not working but FaceTime still is working fine. Does anyone have any suggestions on why this might be happening or how I could get my iPod working like normal?

My Ipod touch recently fell into water, but once dried, it worked with seemingly little to no problems. Today, after working for at least an hour, the screen froze and is now not working, but the sounds are still functioning.

I accidentally dropped my Ipod into the lake, at the beach yesterday, but i caught it early and it wasn't too soaked... i wiped it off for the most part, and most of the buttons and the screen worked fine! i was shocked, and there were a few glitches with the camera and the slide button on the lock screen, but otherwise it was greatly intact! so i gave it a rest, put it in my purse, and picked it up fifteen minutes later, and it was working 100% normally again! when i got home a few hours later, i put it in rice for a few hours, taking it out every once and a while to check my notifications... it still seemed to be working perfectly, so i just set it down out of the rice, assuming the moisture was gone. this morning, again, everything was working normally, no glitches, UNTIL, i opened my instagram app, and the screen froze, and it seemed like it had two separate screens, and i held the Sleep button down until the screen went black... then i tried turning it back on, etc. and it still didn't work, and so i plugged it into the computer, holding down the sleep and home buttons, and itunes identified it as in recovery mode, and started updating. i tried again to press the sleep and home butttons, maybe pressing only the home button, because I heard the Siri noise, as well as the charging sound, but the screen was still black.... i checked my iTunes, and lo and behold, it had identified my iPod, and synced it to the computer, as if it were normally functioning. However, the screen is still not working, and Siri is not working either. The sounds may be the only thing that's functioning. Should i send it in?
