Touch got wet,water bottle leaked.it's in some dried rice..what to do now?

I had my touch with me in my backpack, my water bottle must have leaked, and so the ipod must have been in contact with water for about 8 hours, as I was going through my day. It looked like just the screen had gotten wet so I tried to turn it on...but it didn't work.
when I got home I left it in a warm place, and the next day placed it in a bag of rice. it has been in the rice for about a day and a half, the screen doesn't seem to have water in it and the white dot in the headphone jack is still white.
should I try to connect it to my macbook now? or should I leave it for a bit? how do I know if it's dry and do you think it will survive?
thank you for your help!

you should never turn on your ipod after getting it wet, that will only make things worse.
I would modify that to say "you should never turn on your ipod after getting it wet, that MIGHT make things worse."
The headphone jack will not stop being white.
Actually, the white patch at the end of the headphone jack WILL turn pink if it contacts water and all that is needed to see it is a flashlight. It sounds like the original poster may be lucky and no water got into the headphone jack.

My IPOD touch got wet and now only shows a white screen. How to fix?

My IPOD touch got wet (it was not submerged in water, just rained on) and now only shows a white screen. How can I fix this? I already dried it in rice, and reinstalled it on ITUNES.

unless you have apple care which even that probably doesnt cover water damage. youre gonna need to buy a new screen. probably set you back $60 something. look up ipod touch 4g lcd screen in google and look for sites like amazon or something. unless you wanna have apple charge you like 100 bucks for it or probably more

IPod Touch got wet, died. I need my notes...

My iPod Touch got wet and it's gone. I can get to the screen (albeit dim) that shows the slider to unlock it but the touchscreen is unresponsive. The computer won't recognize it.
My main problem is I have some very important notes that I need.
Does anyone know how to get the notes from the backup file "data.syncdb"?

This might help:

To restore app data, the apps have to be in the iTunes library of the computer on which you do the restore. The iPod ackup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

Then
Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

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

I pod touch got wet and screen wont respond

My daughters Ipod touch got some sports drink on it. we immediately put it in rice over night and then sat it in the sun the next day. It will sync to Itunes, the screen comes up in full color but it wont respond other than putting it to sleep and turning it on and off. Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

First off, it should have remained in the rice for a few days. And sitting it in the sun could have damaged the device. Put it back in the bag of rice, but my bet is its cooked.

HELP! iPhone 5S got wet, still working, was not backed up to iCloud. What to do???

Details: Dropped my iPhone 5S (which was in case, but not a waterproof case) into the bathtub where it was fully submerged for maybe 1-1.5 seconds, I grabbed it right away and got it out. I immediately shook out all of the water and ran to grab a bag of rice to put it in. As I went to put it in rice, I remembered that my iCloud was full and hadn't been backing up the phone, and I'm terrified that I might lose everything, especially my photos. I know, my fault for not having it backed up, I've just been putting it off. Everything seems to be working fine, aside from the fact that it's only got about 10% battery life (phone was almost dead when it was dropped in the water). Since the phone was still working, I quickly purchased additional iCloud storage and began a manual backup without plugging the phone in (I'm afraid I will fry it if I plug it in since there may be water still inside of it). Currently the phone is on, manually backing up, sitting in a bag of rice. I know that the phone may die because there wasn't much battery life left, but I'm praying that it is backing up my photos. I know that most of what I read said to turn the phone off before putting it in rice, but I am honestly more concerned with saving all of the photos at this point.
Is there something else that I should be doing? I keep wanting to check it to see if it is still backing up, but don't want to waste what is left of the battery.
Any advice would be amazing!

To add the same content from the iPhone 4 backup, you can only backup and restore using the original Apple ID (iCloud) and password account.
Content cannot be transferred from one Apple ID to another and accounts cannot be merged as noted here.

IPod touch got wet, can not restore with iTunes

I have a first generation 16 GB iPod touch that wicked up water over night from a glass surface. I didn't notice the water until morning when I picked up the iPod. I tried to turn it on but it was dead.
I dried it out using a desk lamp until moisture was no longer visible under the screen. I connected the computer and the dead battery/charging icon appeared.
Once the iPod received a few minutes of charge the display changed to 'Connect to I-tunes". I open iTunes and it displays that "an iPod in recovery mode has been detected" and to restore the device. I press restore and iTunes downloads and extracts the software, but either of the following errors occur...
1. I-tunes tries to communicate and say's 'waiting for iPod', at which time the iPod has the apple logo and the spinning circle. This continues until the iPod is disconnected, and then iTunes says "the iPod could not be restored, an unknown error has occurred (9)".
2. When iPod is in DFU mode and I open iTunes, It recognizes an iPod in recovery mode and sends commands to the iPod for recovery, iTunes then waits for the iPod and it's display stays black. When the iPod is disconnected iTunes says "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again. An unknown error has occurred (1601). When disconnected and reconnected the computed makes the usb device connected but iTunes doesn't see the device until iTunes is restarted.
3. I 'shift' click the restore after iTunes recognizes an iPod in recovery mode. I point iTunes to "iPod1,11.1.1_3A110arestore.jpsw" (which is the version it came with) and it almost immediately gives me an error, "The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (20)".
Since I am getting prompts on the iPod, I am hopeful to start a restore somehow... Is this asking too much ? Is there another way to start a restore ? Or is this something that can be fixed by sending it in for repair ?
Thanks Kindly

If it was just plain water it may eventually work again. But..... you broke several rules for trying to save wet equipment: you should never use heat in an attempt to dry and you should never try to charge it or connect it to your computer.
Slow drying out may be accomplished but putting your touch in a jar with silica gel packs (if you can find them) or plain white rice (NOT 'minute rice'). Then wait!!! several days.
Or is this something that can be fixed by sending it in for repair ?
Your touch has built-in moisture indicators (one is the white patch at the end of the headphone jack). If your touch shows signs of moisture, you will not be covered by the Apple warranty.
Have a little patience and with luck it will work again.

My iPod touch got wet and I used the rice method to save it.

After 3 days, I plugged it back in and it worked. But the problem is that the home and lock buttons don't work anymore. What can I do? It charges just fine but iTunes cannot detect it seems... So I can't backup my songs and all, which ***** considering the fact that I have over 1k of memories in there.
Does anybody have a suggestion? I don't mind paying for repairs at Apple, but I definitely want to get my songs.
The touch-screen works just fine although it has white stripes on it now.

- It doesn't, no. It feels like something is preventing full movement.
- No I didn't, but what do you mean by cycling the switches?
- I think it is, but there were sort of pale stripes in the back of the screen. Would that be water by any chance?
- Dammit what a shame, is it not possible to extract the iPod's HDD or memory stick (whatever it contains) and recover the songs?

My ipod touch got wet and won't turn on can it be repaired

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:

HT1438 ipod touch got wet and won't work

My daughter dropped her ipod in the toilet...nice...now it won't work properly even after we dried it off and put the ipod in rice overnight.
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

Overnight probably don't do any good. Let it dry in rice for three or four days at least. Then try the iPod again. If it will fails, it's almost certainly damaged and you'll have to take or send it to Apple and pay their out-of-warranty replacement charge.
Regards.

My ipod touch got wet and wont turn on please help i dont want to loose all my stuff stored in it, my ipod touch got wet and wont turn on please help i dont want to loose all my stuff stored in it

please help i beg of you

The link that Ingo posted makes sense.
I once accidentally left my iPhone in the washing machine for a full 48 minute spin cycle.
It didnt work for a few days, but after about a week when it dried it started working again ----> That was 4 years ago!

Ipod touch got wet and froze on the battery symbol. I forced a shut down and wasnt responsive. tried turning it on and it wouldnt. Later on white screen appeared followed by the apple logo

i spilled a pop on my ipod and it froze up. the screen was loced on the battery symbol sign and i forced a shut down. It tunred off and wont turn on. Later a white screen popped up and after the apple logo popped up and dissapeared. I have tried to connect it to my computer and it said that the iphone(itunes read it as such) was in recovery mode. How do I get this thing to work again?

Leave the iPod off and place it in a container with dry rice to absorb moisture. Let it thoroughly dry.
Realistically, the chances of it working correctly again are slim, especially if the pop was sugared.

My iphone 5 fell and got wet. it works fine but does not charge right. What do I do?

help me please i dont know how to fix it.
my lock button is broken so i can't shut it off or restart it.

Odds are pretty good you have hardware damage. You need to locate an authorized Service Cneter, but more than likely you are in need of a new phone.
