My ipod touch 4 got droped in the water now it dont charge and the cpu aint reconizing it
what do i do
Other users have reported that placing the iPod in a bag of uncooked rice for several days dries it out enough to become useable again. No guarantees but there's no risk and it might be worth trying.
If that doesn't do it, yeah getting a new iPod is the way to go.
Best of luck.

I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7, and wanted to transfer my music from my old laptop onto it. Itunes on my new laptop would only let me transfer purchases, and not music that I got from CDs. So, seeing as I didn't have any sort of storage device handy to back up my old itunes library onto, I decided to just transfer my music straight from my ipod touch to my new laptop. I had done this many times before both for myself and for friends, so I was familiar with the process. What you do is you make sure that hidden files can be viewed, and you select "manually manage music..etc" in itunes so your device shows up as its own drive in My Computer. Then you click on that and you should find your music folders. Unfortunately, because my computer recognizes my iPod touch as a digital camera, the folders only had my pictures, and none of my music. I tried to update the driver and change it to usbaapl, the Apple Mobile Device USB driver. However, my device manager keeps saying: "The best driver software is already installed" or something like that. The driver Windows automatically installs is MTP USB device. I've tried uninstalling it but as soon as I plug my ipod back in it just re-installs the wrong driver again. So, is there any fix to this problem or will I just have to go invest in a flash drive to transfer my music?
Startng wth the iPhone and iPod Touch, Apple stopped supportng "disc mode" (and that's why your iPod Touch isn't "Aplle format" or "Windows format"). You access the musc, apps, calendars, etc. through iTunes, and you access the photos through the camera interface.
Windows is not "installing the wrong driver" you are just assuming that the device operates in a way that the newer devices no longer support. There are some 3rd party aps that will allow you to sync music from your iPod to your PC, but I have never used them so I can't tell you how well they work. I do seem to recall that XPlay2 was one of the names that supposedly supported doing that though... -
When the battery gets fully charged, and the charger is still connected to the iPad, does the iPad use power from the battery or does it use the charger?
Install Battery Doctor and see Battery Status or Charging

Ok so I just had bought a new iPod touch 4th generation from an apple store just at the end of last year and until now, it has been working awesome! But just today, I have it plugged up into a wall outlet and it says it was charging for a while but I kept an eye on it and every time I looked at the screen, I could tell the life of the battery had not gone up at all. I have tried resetting it by pressing the home and lock buttons but when I turn it back on and plug it in, the green part of the battery still has not gone up while it has been plugged up for at least an hour ! Do it need to take it to the apple store and ask them why it is doing this or can I do something about it that will actually make it charge? It is worrying me and I would like for the problem to be fixed as soon as possible.
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

my ipod is frozen..i have an image of itunes and the power cord on the ipod screen
What happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes on the computer?

This is very frustrating. Like three months ago my ipod touch, 5th generation, just turns off out of no where. It will be charged and working fine but then the screen goes completely black and I can't turn it on. But then after like a day or so it turns back on and works until it decides to shut off again. And the cycle repeats. I'm scared its going to break for good.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still reoccurs, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

The battery icon says "Not Charging" and the light on the charger isn't lighting up either?
I fell while my macbook was in my bag. It was already dead but when I went to put the charger in it wouldn't light up. To my surprise it still turned on but it said "(Not Charging)". I unplugged it multiple times and reset the PRAM and everything and it's still the same. It's as if I always need my macbook to be plugged in for it to work and not charge at all. Is it the internal battery? What else could I possibly do to resolve the issue?

joeThe following user tip is worth checking through:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device -
My sister's iPod Touch got water in it. The screen is white and it won't turn off. There's water in the camera and it looks like there's actually droplets in the screen. I tried plugging it into the computer but iTunes wouldn't respond to it. My sister tried putting the iPod in rice (some remedy she heard of) but that just made it worse...
Do not turn on or charge until dry. Dry by placing the iPod in a sealed container of uncooked rice for at least as week and change the rice daily. Then
- Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the article again.
- If still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
It "got worse" since it takes some time for the water to have an effect. The iPod may or may not work after it is dry. -
I dropped my ipod touch 3 generation into some water. I let it dry off completely befor turning it back on. Now it shows me the itunes logo and the usb cord picture. I restored my ipod, and now it won't connect to itunes or my computer. What should I do?
Hey
Does it charge when connected, if not you may have broken it..
You can always try an apple Genius at an Apple Store,

My ipod touch got stolen and i didnt download the trackking app i really need it back it has all my music and information on it.. What should i do? Can i use another ipod to download the app and find it on someone elses? Please help
No app is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order
