Oops! mine fell in water what should i do?

Can someone help me or intruct me on how to deal with a wet ipod nano?
Urgent

The short answer would be: Remove the battery, disconnect it from any other external power sources, blot dry what you can (and what you have access to) and wait several days for it to thoroughly dry before attempting to use it again. Blowing a fan over it might accelerate the evaporation.
A longer answer might be provided by someone who has more experience in dealing with wet iPods. But the stuff I quoted above is pretty much true for any electronics that get water inside them.

  • Iphone fell into water, what should I do?

    after a few minutes it says - no connection-

    Water damage... Dum Dum Dummmmm!  Hate to say it but since it was on when it went in and out of the water you're phone is probably fried or will be.  Not much you can do.  Once it dries completely you can try and sync it with a computer and backup your data to iTunes, but no promise this will work.
    If you have AppleCare+ and you're in the US you can buy a replacement for $49.  If not then you can purchase an out of warranty replacement iPhone 5 from Apple for $229.  A lot of money but its a lot better than paying $799 for a new iPhone 5.
    You might want to check with your carrier to see if you have insurance on your phone.

    Water and electronics don't mix well

  • My mac mini is running slow. what should I do?

    My mac mini is running slow. What should I do?

    Hello Kate,
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • My ipad mini broke the screem, what should i do??

    I have scream protection and today in morning my ipad fall down and broke all the scream, what should I do, should I go to apple??

    Apple does not repair iPads, but will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ on the iPad, the cost will be relatively minimal; $49 in the US. Otherwise, see the Service Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/service/faq/
    There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipad repair".  You can also look for parts and instructions and do the repair yourself. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPad serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform your own repair, you will get no further support from Apple.
    Regards.
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base, before you post a question.

  • Charger fell into glass of water what should i do now it wont work :(

    Please Suggest

    Seriously that is sound advice. You could save yourself a few dollars by taking it apart and drying it out but really cannot recommend that - throw it in the bin and buy yourself a new one. Its not worth risking it.

  • My ipad mini charger is broke what should i do

  • HT1531 My new dvd game is asking for a POWERPC processor, but I don't have it, cause mine is Intel. What should I do?

    Processor

    If your Mac is capable of running Snow Leopard (10.6.8), then install it on an external drive, or separate partition of the internal drive. Then you can boot to SL to run that game and any other PPC apps.
    If your Mac came with Lion, then you're pretty much stuck. Your options are to look for newer version of the game that is Intel native, purchase an older Mac that can run it if the company has no Mac Intel version, or install Windows 7 on a Boot Camp partition to run it as a Windows app.

    Is this a problem with an iPod or iPad? (You state iPod.)
    The problem could be with your router and internet connection. You can download several apps to check your speed.

  • Some water it fell to the hole where I can put my air plugs or air phones? And now the sound its not working. What should I do?

    What should I do when water fell on the hole where my air plugs goes and where I can hear some music?

    Best to take the iPhone to the Apple genius bar and have them ckeck it out...see if it can be cleaned and restored or needs replacement.  Water and electronics do not play well together.

  • 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 working on a file I created in Indesign CC 2014 and when I try to rearrange pages in the Pages menu or try to package the file, I get the spinning wheel for 20 mins. then it crashes. What should I do?

    Can anyone help? I started a 24 page document in Indesign CC 2014 and have been using the file off of a dropbox acct on my two machines (desktop and macbook pro). I need to rearrange some of the pages but when I try to drag and drop the pages in the Pages menu, I get the ominous spinning wheel...for about 20 mins at times. then It will just crash. The document doesn't have a tone of images. I've also tried to collect and package the file but get the same thing.
    What should I do?? Help!

    try the script at Adobe Community: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK.
    I'd also try moving the pages to a new file, though I suspect that will crash too. Divide and conquer might work -- tray one of your operations on half the document at a time, then repeat by dividing any piece that fails, and so on, until you isolate a page, then use the same method to isolate an object (though it's possible you have a corrupt page).

  • I have an ipod touch and i just bought a new laptop, because i lost mine. i try to sync the music in the itouch to my new laptop but it asks me if i want to delete all my music before syncing  what should i do?

    i have an ipod touch and i just bought a new laptop, because i lost mine which has all the data of my itouch. i try to sync the music in the itouch to my new laptop but it asks me if i want to delete all my music before syncing  what should i do?

    You should use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.
    The ipod will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase teh content from the ipod.

  • I plugged my ipod nano 6th gen in to the latest version of itunes today and as soon as i plugged it it it turned on automatically as it should when i came back to it 5 mins later, picked it up and it felt warm and it wouldnt turn on. what should i do?

    I have the same problem and can't seem to figure out what the problem is. I rebuilt my iTunes library and still my 6G nano crahes whenever I load an AAC tune onto it.  MP3s and podcasts all work fine, it's just the AACs... 
    Just *loading* an AAC song will cause the Nano 6G to reboot as soon as it disconnects from Itunes. It will then reboot a few times and then go into recovery mode. :-(
