So i dropped my Ipod touch in water. It still works but the backlight is out.Can it be saved. this was a week ago

I just want to know can it be fixed

It is thoroughly dry? Did you dry it in rice?
If after it is dry have yu tried restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod?
I would say it can be fixed. However, it might not be worth it if the logic board is the cause. A backligh replacement is not that expensive.

I dropped my iphone 4s in water and everything works but the backlight. I have heard rumors that I can take my damaged iPhone into an apple store and trade it in for a new phone and pay the difference. Is this true?

Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange at a discounted price off the full retail sales price.

My home button just stopped working, the white mark isn't red so it isn't water damaged. could i replace the phone for free? i just got this phone a week ago

No water damage will show up to Apple you have voided any warranty you may have

he menu button of the ipod touch (4th generation) is not working and the service center of ipod is asking us to pay for the fixation of the said item even though it's still on warranty. this is the case number 215866894. And the service center said that they don't cover that center part of the ipod so they're asking us money before they can fix it. We bought the ipod last december 8, 2010 and we brought it to the service center last april, 2011 here in the philippines. And until now they're not fixing it because they're asking us to pay half the price of the item which is 8,040 pesos..

As advised, you need to call Apple about this.

No one here works for Apple (no one who will reply, anyway) so there's nothing anyone here can do to help you with this issue.
Good luck.

I have a ipad2, ipad3, and iPod touch that had location service working and now none of them can use location service. I have tried so many recommended tweaks but none have helped. So frustrating! Can anyone help ?

Sounds like it's hardware issue. The iPhone warranty is based in the original country of purchase. Since it was bought in Korea you will need to ship the phone to someone you know in Korea to be taken in and then they will have to ship it back to you. The cost of shipping will be at your expense.

I cracked my screen for my touch, it still works but the cracked is big and annoying . I'm still under warranty, will they fix it still?

It works fine. Some of my album covers are mixed up though, not sure its because of the fall. help me

It is very unlikely that Apple with replace your iPod under warranty since the warranty covers manufacturing and design defects. A crack screen is usually not caused by a defect. You can alway make an appointment at ter Genius Bar of an Apple store and ask.

If I buy an iPod from USA will it still work in the UK?

If I buy an iPod touch in USA will it work in the UK?

As stedman says, it will work. A note of caution though.
First of all, the price you see listed in the Amercan online store and in the store itself does not include sales tax, which will be added when you pay for it. (Prices shown in the UK physical and online stores are inclusive of VAT {sales tax} and we pay the price shown.)
Then, when you bring it back into the UK, you must declare it at customs and it will be subject to import duty. I have no idea how much that is. If you manage to buy one online, (and that won't be from an Apple source, because they won't allow you to do so) then once again, when it comes into the UK it will be subject to taxation. In fact, not only you will find that it import duty is added, but the shipper will add their chanrge as well, since they (the shipper) will be collecting the tax from you to hand on to the government.
So if you are intending to buy in the USA in order to save money, be warned that you probably won't.

I dropped my iphone and the screen has blue lines on it. Siri still works but the screen doesn't but the screen isn't cracked or shattered. What should I do?

Bring your phone and $199 to the Apple store for an out of warranty exchange of your phone. You clearly broke it when you dropped it.

My sister's iPod touch got water in it. Now the screen is white and won't turn on. It looks like there's water in the front camera and in the screen.

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 just stepped up from my trusty 4gig generation ipod to an 8gb ipod touch. I have many questions but the most important is how can I get my music from the old one to the new ipod since it took me over a week to download all my CDs onto my last computer

is anyone here?

Are these tracks that are on your old iPod still in your iTunes library? If so, just configure them to sync to your iPod Touch.
Otherwise you'll need to copy everything from the old iPod to your PC and into iTunes first. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I cant download games on my iPod Touch 4G, there is no games in the app store, what can I do to fix this?

.

Try restting the iPOd. It cures many ills and nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

Were there apps in the App store before?
What country's store are you using?

I have created another iTunes library (so I have 1 for an ipod touch and 1 for an iPad), but the apps from the iPad appear in both libraries. How can I stop this so teh 2 libraries are completely separate please?

You don't need two separate libraries to manage two devices.
I suspect the reason that the apps are appearing in both libraries is that you have enabled automatic downloads in iTunes and automatic syncing of apps so that all your purchases end up in both libraries, defeating your original aim.
Why not use a single library and make playlists for the media content you want on each device? Disable Settings > Store > Automatic Downloads > Apps on each device, then connect each device in turn and turn off Automatically Sync Apps on the Apps page.
You can now manage your devices independently, while only having to manage the content of one iTunes library, instead of two.

After restoring my ipod touch multiple times it still goes to the connect to itunes screen, freezes then goes to a white screen

Ok so i have restored my iPod touch multiple times the restore is "successful" my iPod touch 2g goes to the connect to iTunes screen then it just freezes. After about one minute it goes to a white screen until it dies. Any ideas?

If it does it after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod then yo have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
