Nano won't play using the battery, but ok on external power.  Got washed in the washing machine.

I washed my nano with my jeans in the washing machine.  It still works when I use external power, but not on the battery.  I've charaged it, but it doesn't hold the charge.   Sugggestions?

The battery is dead, permanantly pretty much.
I had this happen to an old nano, 2nd gen or 3rd i forgot which it was.
Anyway i went in a lake with it, after that it would no longer work on the battery, but would with external power.
I spent a good while looking for a solution but couldn't find a fix or any suggestions other than replacing the ipod battery, or the ipod itself.
I did keep it though and just kept it on a ipod player speaker device though. Maybe now theres a trick to fix it or something but i highly doubt it.

  • My iPod was updating to iOS 6 and i shut it off during the update because it was taking too long and now my screen in baby blue i've tried to drain the battery but when i plugged it in to charge the blue screen came back on.I dont know what to do

    My iPod was updating to iOS 6 and i shut it off during the update because it was taking too long and now my screen in baby blue i've tried to drain the battery but when i plugged it in to charge the blue screen came back on.I dont know what to do

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Webcasts won't play in Admin account but OK in others

    An odd one this. Tried to view the latest Keynote 05-09-07 but using my main (admin) account I get the 'bad address' error message.
    However, if I switch users to one of my other accounts on the same computer the webcast plays first time with no problems. What's going on?
    I've done a 'repair permissions' restarted, etc, changed the transport settings to HTTP/80 but has had no effect whatsoever. Any ideas?

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • Please HELP! iPod Nano won't play songs

    I just got my iPod nano yesterday and absolutely loved it. I took some of my friendssongs from his PC. Then I tryed using ipod agent to put them into itunes. It said that there was an error. Now when I chose a song the song will come up, it won't play, but instead go to the next song and same thing happens. Now itunes won't even recongiz or pop up when it is plugged in

    The iPod is designed to sync to one computer as it copies the music to a special file for the iPod OS and software to play.
    You can enable "disk mode" and use that to transfer any file back and forth, but the iPod won't play music files stored in the "disk mode" portion you set in iTunes Preferences with the ipod plugged in.
    Basically the software you used to transfer the music out of the "special file" back into iTunes is not authorized, it's a "hack". So Apple routinely disables the hacks because of agreements to protect the music from piracy.
    Another thing is the music you got from your friend may indeed by ACC/"Fairplay" copy protected music bought from the iTunes Music Store, unless your computer is one of the five authorized, it won't play.
    Also because you hooked your iPod to your friends PC, the "ownership" might have changed and Apple may have employed something that your iPod is no longer recognized as yours.
    What you probably have to do is use the iPod software to "reset" your iPod, clear out everything in the process and just hook it to your computer.
    If you want to transfer uncopy protected, non-copy righted "free" music to your computer from another computer, enable the iPod's "disk mode" and set a size to balance between the music in your "special file" and the needs of what you intend to transfer.
    Once you get home, transfer the music files into your iTunes, then you can copy them to the "special file" so the iPod can play them.
    It's a bit complicated, but's it's designed to prevent mass theft of music (so the artists will provide their music online) and keep the benefit of syncing/playlists in line.

    I recently had some 8mm film transferred to DVD. I am trying to edit the film clips using Premier Elements 4.0. so I can reburn the films on a single BluRay disc. Some of the film clips copy into the project but others don't. I tried copying the VOB filed onto my hard drive and then changing the file extensions on the VOB files to MPEG but this was no help. Some of the VOB files contain numerous film clips but my software does not appear to be able to recognize them as such. I need to know if replacing my old Premier Elements with the new Version 13 would solve this problem or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    What do you have now.....
    What computer operating system do you have?
    We can go into the finer points of source and your intentions, but for now it would appear that you are using SD 4:3 source media to get to a HD 16:9 result. Lots to discuss in this regard.
    What was given to you on the DVD disc? DVD-VIDEO 4:3 or something else?
    If DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, you should expect to find on the disc a folder named VIDEO_TS. That is your target for your video files.
    If you were given a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, then all you want from it are the video files, specifically
    VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, and so on through that series until possibly getting to
    VTS_02_1.VOB, and so on. How many files you have beyond the VTS_01_1.VOB file will depend on the size of the DVD-VIDEO.
    Does the above scenario apply to you?
    The alternative might be someone giving a DVD disc (data disc) which contains just the VTS files mentioned which were copied from
    the VIDEO_TS Folder. So, you do not get the whole VIDEO_TS Folder, just the essential video files. Does this scenario apply to you.
    I see no need to replace your Premiere Elements 4 with a later version unless you have a huge project and need a later version that will be a 64 bit application running specifically on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer.
    Consider...Premiere Elements 4 and if you have DVD-VIDEO on DVD....
    1. Place the DVD disc in the burner tray
    2. Open Premiere Elements 4 and set the project preset for NTSC DV Standard (assuming you are working in a NTSC setup)
    3. Go to
    Get Media
    "DVD, Digital Camera, Mobile Phone, Hard Drive Camcorder, Card Reader"
    "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" and its Advanced dialog.
    Set the Source in the latter dialog for the drive which has your DVD disc inserted in its tray
    You should see your VTS_01_1.VOB thumbnail in the "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" Advanced dialog.
    With this VOB selected, click on Get Media to get the file from there into the project.
    Should work fine.
    Complications may be involved if the people who processed your footage gave you something other what is described above.
    Please review and consider, and then we can plan our project strategy accordingly.
    Thank you.

  • Hi, I've been playing Smurf's village for a year now and just last week, i tried to get into the app but it keeps rejecting and goes back to the main page.  Is there any reason for this?  I've been updating the app everytime and now it's not letting me in

    Reset the device, restart the device, try downloading any other app.
    All of these are basic steps that could have been found by a simple search of the forums as a resolution for the issue.

  • HT5022 I'm trying to add a "new client" to my wireless network using Airport Utility, but I can't find that option in the new version.  I've downloaded all available updates of the OS and the utility..  Help!

    I'm trying to add my HP wireless printer as a "new client" to my wireless network using Airport Utility, but I can't find that option in the new version.  I've downloaded all available updates of the OS and the utility..  Help!

    Why would you need to ADD a new Client. Unless the APE sytem is completely different then any other Wireless router the printer should get an IP address from the router. That is IF the printer is setup to get an IP from the LAN DHCP server.
    Now you may want to make that IP it does get a Staticly assign IP address so it never changes, which will screw up printing if it does change. But i don't know if you can do that with APE routers.

    No phone can send photos via SMS. You would need MMS (or iMessage or a 3rd party app such as WhatsApp). SMS messages are limited to 160 characters of text only.

  • HT202667 Hi, I created my Apple ID using my iPhone but noticed I made a grammatical error in the email address.

    Hi, I created my Apple ID using my iPhone but noticed I made a grammatical error in the email address. Using my PC, I managed to edit my email address however this change is not reflected on my iPhone. What do I need to do to see the change there? Thanks.

    Hi mari285,
    To show the reflected name, make sure to sign out of your current Apple ID and then sign in with the new one. You can do that in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and tap the Apple ID name and a prompt will come up with multiple option and one of them is Sign Out. Then tap it again to sign in with the correct spelling to get you going.
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

    My iPhone 3 is not seen on iTunes when I connect it. It is also showing low battery but is not even charging and continously showing the Apple logo... What should I do? Thanks in advance, Jahnavi...

    Jahnavi,
    two things to be looked upon in this case. First thing is about the battery. Once the battery has enough charge in it we can try a force restore on the phone to re-install the iOS.
    > Try a hard reset of the phone (Press and hold the HOME button and the Sleep/Wake button until the phone restarts and comes up with Apple logo). After trying this step, try charging the phone and see if the battery holds the charge.
    > Once battery has enough charge in it then we can force it to DFO mode and perform restore. For restore refer to this link.
