Can an ipod touch be repaired after being dropped in water?

It is inevitable that someiPods will have liquids spilt on them, that they will be thrown accidentally into the washer, or that they will somehow be found in the swimming pool at the end of a party. If you are one of the millions who own an iPod and it somehow gets wet,There are several ways to get it working again.

These might work for you (hopefully ) or if they don't they may prevent it from happening again.

1.First, no matter how your iPod became wet, there are some things that you can do to minimize the damage. The first is to turn the iPod off if it happens to be turned on. For most electronic devices, it is when electricity flows through wet components that damage occurs. The good news about most iPods is that they are ruggedly built, and there is very little space for water to collect. If you spilt some coffee or water on your iPod, shut it off and wipe it quickly before the liquid has a chance to penetrate.

2.

Now that your iPod has been turned off, the immediate danger is over. You can now start the drying process. Generally speaking, you should allow the device to dry for at least 24 hours. However, if the device got wet in the rain for a short time, a couple of hours should do the trick. For devices that became absolutely soaked - submerged in a pool or deposited in your washing machine - you should first wait a day before turning on the unit. If the unit does not work or works partially, there are three options to get it working again. They include the following:

  • Exchange it or have it repaired by Apple.
  • Try to repair it on your own.
  • Send it to a specialist who fixes iPods damaged by water.

Repair Your Water-Damaged iPod on Your Own

Because your warranty does not cover water damage, you can try to fix the unit by opening it up and trying to dry it out completely. One way to totally dry out your iPod is the Rice Method. Although it is not guaranteed to work, it's well worth a shot.

The Rice Method

Take apart your iPod as best you can. This means opening it up, removing the battery, and gently wiping the parts with a cotton swab and alcohol. Once all the parts have been separated, put them in a plastic bag with dry, uncooked rice. Leave these items in the dry rice for about 24 to 48 hours. It is also a good idea to keep the bag in a dry, warm environment. Once the time has elapsed, put your iPod back together and see if it works.

good luck.

Does an apple iPod Touch 8GB have a built in camera?

The hard drive capacity of the iPod does not tell anything about the iPod, except its hard drive capacity.

There are numerous generations for all of the types of iPods available, so please be more specific.

The fifth generation iPod Nano has a video camera, and the fourth generation iPod Touch has a video camera and regular camera.

How do you transfer music from iTunes to iPod touch. I have new ipod touch but when i am connecting my ipod to my laptop which has iTunes and songs stored in that. i dont know how to proceed?

First of all, you have to make sure that ipod has been registered on the itunes. If you don't have itunes you need to download it off the apple website.(www.apple.com) Once that is downloaded register your ipod touch on the itunes. Then plug your ipod into the laptop. Go to the page that has the ipod icon next to it. On the button there is a button that either says sync of apply. Click either. Wait for it to download and say it's done. Un-plug your ipod and see if the music appeared under the icon. That is all there is to it!!! :)

Can you play Internet games on your ipod touch?

The iPod touch is capable of playing some web-based games.

In February 2008, Apple is releasing the SDK (software development kit) for the iPhone and iPod touch, and presumably there will be some third party games (and other applications) developed for the iPhone / iPod touch platform afterwards.

or you can jailbrake it and install games from installer which i suggest because its free except it makes your internet and youtube stop working

Of course you can play games on your iPod touch just like the iPhone games, also the new iPhone 3G games released by Apple recently.

How to put the games onto your iPod touch is the key for most users.

And one free iPod touch games on the same site:

Yes you can play games on a iPod touch. You can buy games from apple. They sell games that are compatible with a iPod touch. I'm getting a 32 gig iPod touch. So, if you're going to get games on a iPod touch i suggest you get the largest memory you can afford. The largest memory so far for a iPod touch is 32 gig. That can get a little expensive. You can always go on safari and play games. I think you can even get onto runescape.

Which is better Kindle or Kindle touch?

I'm not going to be really scientific her, but a Kindle touch has only two buttons, one on the bottom to turn on/off, and one in the center of the bottom surrounding plastic. Meanwhile, regular Kindles have either 4 buttons, one on bottom to turn on/off, one in center of the bottom plastic, and 2 right beside that center button so you can scroll pages, etc. Other versions of the Kindle (and Nook) have keyboards that take up about 3 inches of the bottom plastic (this causes the screen to be smaller) that have numbers and letters on it. I recommend the Kindle touch because it is more convenient and is only about $30-40 more.

How many books can a 64GB iPad hold?

Some books, such as those that are text only, are less than a megabyte. So, >64000 of those books would fit. Other books with many graphics, like some textbooks, can be much larger. So, the answer depends on the kind of books you will be storing. Even with a large variety of books, you could probably fit thousands of books, if you didn't have the space filled with movies and music too.

How many songs can a 8 megabytes hold?

80 MB is not a lot. Considering an average CD-R holds 700MB? in MP3 format an average CD-R would hold arounfd 150 average sized songs. So I'd be surprised if you got more than 15 songs in MP3 format. If the songs are in WAV format, which is the normal format of a CD then you are looking at a lot less than 15.

Is a silicon case better or a hard case for an iPod touch?

It depends on your preference. The silicon cases are better if you just want to cover the iPod Touch so you don't accidentally let go of the iPod. The hard cases are better for those who are clumsy and will drop their iPods.

I would recommend the Silicon Case, because the case is easy to take off and is pretty flexible.

I recomend a Pelican case, they are watertight and covered by a lifetime warranty and come in many colors and sizes, yeah if you drop your ipod a lot a hard case like a Pelican is great.
