Shuffle in the washing machine

My shuffle got put in the washing machine by mistake. It was totally dead when it came out...is there any hope? Is there anything I can do to help revive it?

Yeah..Put it in the dryer.
I know others were thinking this so I just decided to say it.
Buy a new one. Sorry to hear that Michael.

What do I do when my ipod goes through the washing machine?

my ipod shuffle went through the washing machine, earbuds and all.Can someone tell me how to properly dry it out or care for it?

When electronics get emersed in liquid, it's not the actual water that causes them to break (although if you spilled something like coke with a bunch of sugar, the sugar would stay in the device even after the liquid of the coke dissolved). What breaks the device is if either it was on when it was emersed in water, or if you turn it on before all the water can evaporate. If so, the water will conduct the electricity between the wires and short circuit the device. If you weren't thick enough to try and turn your device on immediately after you took it out of the washing machine, then it should be fine if you just let the water evaporate. Another technique (to make the water evaporate faster and, on rare occassions, to save a device if you've turned if on while there was still water in it) is to put the device in rice and let it sit overnight. Hope this helps.

I thought I would be the luckiest person alive when my iPod suffered the same fate, and then resurrected. - but you were also lucky.
I can now see why Apple can get away with charging a little extra.
MY IPOD SURVIVED THE WASHING MACHINE!!!
they should put this in an ad or something.

My iPod 5th gen touch went through the washing machine. It still works but it has water in the screen and I can't get it out. I put it in uncooked rice for a day but it didn't work. And suggestions??

Leave it in the rice for at least a day and change the rice every other day or so. The rice and iPod should be in a sealed container.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $149. They do not fix yours.

Is there any hope for a Nano 6th gen that went through the washing machine?

Is there any hope for a Nano 6th Gen that went through the washing machine? All of the devices contents are showing up in iTunes when connected but the device itself is not working.

Hello kpratta,
There is some hope. I have heard of someone putting the ipod in a bag of dry rice and putting the bag in a dark place for a 4-5 days. After that they used this:

This has the best chance. The rice absorbs any liquid in the ipod.
Hope this helps.

Desperate to recover photos from an iPhone5 that has been through the washing machine

My iPhone5 has gone through the washing machine and I am desperate to recover my photos. Am I better off leaving it in rice for a week and trying it, or immediately taking it to my service provider to try and get it repaired?

Thanks for your responses. It wasn’t in a waterproof case, just a rubber one. I have insurance, so I am not concerned about my handset, just the photos. It is currently sitting in a container of rice, and I was thinking about taking it apart and putting it back in the rice opened up to try and better dry it out? Then I was thinking of leaving it for a few days and eventually connecting it to my Mac to power it up and hopefully quickly access my photos - what do you think? I am just concerned if I take it straight to my service provider before at least trying this, the data is as good as gone - going off all of the insurance claim disclaimers regarding loss of data during repair!
Thanks in advance!

Is theree anything i can do for my daughter ipod touch, it got washed in the washing machine. she has had it for less than 1 year

Hi, can I get an ipod touch fixed after it was washed in the washing machine?

You might want to check your household contents insurance as well, as this might cover accidental damage, even if the credit cards don't.
Also, if there were purchased items on the iPod, many policies now cover downloaded content as well (up to a limit of course).

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 Iphone 4 has been put in the washing machine by accident - help!

My Iphone 4 has been put in the washing machine by accident - is there any way it can be saved!!

Most likely it has suffered hardware damage in which case you'll need to take or send to Apple and pay for replacement, either under your AppleCare+ plan if you purchased the plan or by paying Apple's standard out-of-warranty replacement charge:

Yesterday i accidenttly Washed my ipod touch in the washing machine!!! What do i do??

Yesterday, i accidently washed my iPod touch in the washing machine!!! help me!!

Do not turn on or charge until it is dry. To dry place the iPod in a sealed container with a desiccant (uncooked rice works) for a week and change it daily. The try:

It may or may not work OK afterwards.

Earpods in the washing machine! Help!

Recently I got my earpods , however I forgot to take out from my pants and left it in the washing machine about 5 mins before I realise it. The right side is abit soft in volume and left side was ok. How to save my earpods back to original sound quality?

if just for music then any 3.5mm minijack headset in the world would work they have been used since 1980's or something so there should be a few out there
if you need the vol and mic and the likes you will likely need to buy need ones
and hope that the doesnt feel right right is a real thing and not just you

IPod put through the Washing Machine

Well, I put my month old 60 GB iPod through the washing machine this past sunday and as one would assume, I'm having problems with it. As far as it stands right now, when I plug it into my computer it will occosionally alternate between a sign that it's charging or a battery with an exclamation mark. The majority of the time, however, it shows nothing. Also, there was one instance that I connected it to my computer and the apple emblem came up... and stayed up, even after I disconnected it for a few hours. Given all of that information, does anybody have any suggestions or have anything to say to offer me a glimmer of hope that my mistake may be reversed? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

My uncle has had his phone fall in a coffee mug and he managed to revive it but that was becuse he has had this happen befor. I think that you might have already screwed it up forever but it is still worth giving this a shot.
Let the iPod completely dry out. Dont touch if for like a week or somthing and then it should be ready. Plug it in and if it doesent work its never going to work again. If you get a connection with you computer then you can restore it and it might save it.
good luck man.

Forgetting ipod in the washing-machine =__=!

I forgot my ipod nano in the washing-machine.
At first it couldn't be turned on.
After i had plugged it with the charger , it was active.
But when i unplugged it , the light & words slowly disappeard & the nano turned off .
What can i do now ? Please help ! thanks a lot

Leave your iPod to dry out naturally for a week or so. Don't plug it in to any power sources (computer, charger etc.) in the meantime. After that charge it up and with a bit of luck it may come back to life again.
