The best way to fix water damage on an ipod is to act quickly.
Firstly, remove the SIM card and turn the device off and remove any cables. Use a paper towel or microfiber cloth to dry any water from the card. Next, use a hairdryer on a low setting to remove any moisture that has entered the iPod. It must be on a low setting as hot air can cause more damage to the electronics.
A good idea is to use rice to remove any further moisture from the ipod. Place the ipod in a bag and add a handful of rice. The rice will pick up any additional moisture that has entered deep inside the phone. Keep the bag partially open to allow the humidity to escape.
The device should be left in the rice bag for as long as possible. Usually 24 hours is enough, however, if there is still moisture present, add more rice and leave it again.
Most of the water should now have been removed from the device and will now be safe to replace the SIM card and turn it on. Things are usually back to normal, however, if not then your nearest Apple store will be able to help you further.

∙ 12y agoiPods can get water damage. They are similar to iPhones in that they are sensitive to moisture and contain a liquid water damage component within the device.
iPods like iPhones have a liquid contact indicator which activates when it comes into direct contact with a liquid. Usually this is water. It is located in the bottom of the headphone jack on the iPod.
It should be noted that a high humidity or large temperature change should not trigger the indicators. Apple's products are designed to work with specific environmental requirements as described by Apple.

Will apple cover water damage?
Apple's policy on water damage is clear. If an iPod or iPhone has been in contact with a liquid, the repair for this type of water damage is not covered by the Apple 1 Year Warranty or even the Apple Care protection Plan. Any iPod's or iPhone that were built after 2006 have a built in water damage indicator which shows whether a liquid has indeed been in contact with the device. If there has been water damage in a phone, it is possible to repair it and eliminate the water using simple, step-by-step methods that have been proven to work.

What must one do when an iPod is damaged by water?
When an iPod is damaged by water, one should first start by attempting to remove the iPod from water. The person should next attempt to dry off as much water from the outside of the iPod. Next, one should attempt to dry water that is inside iPod with hair dryer or with a heat-source. If these steps do not save the iPod from permanent water damage, one should bring the iPod to an Apple store and ask for help. If the Apple store tells you that the iPod needs to have a part replaced you can let them fix it or bring it to a local repair shop.

Is the iPod touch 4g waterproof?
I am 99.9% sure that the ipod touch 4g is not water proof. It may be able to resist minor water damage (a few rain drops or maybe a fall into a very super shallow puddle), but if you submerge it in water, I am pretty sure you will have problems with it later on. I am not for sure, but I am guessing this. My camera has survived minor water damage so I'm sure apple created something resistant to a few rain drops. My ipod touch is coming soon in the mail, but I would not purposely put it into the water . . . water hazzard waiting to happen =S
