Washed :(
- My iPod was in my pants pocket & I forgot to take it out. Then my dad decided to do laundry WITHOUT checking the pockets of my pants. This is the second time I've had an iPod get washed. First it was my shuffle & now its my Nano. Is now in rice...hope it helps. :(

iPod and pool
- First, my iPod felt into the toilet (it was clean), so I went to the Apple Store and exchanged it for a new one. Three days with my new iPod and it fell into the pool. And I put it on a bowl of rice, and I left it there for this whole month, and it doesn't sync. It just says an error has occured (2009). I'm desesperate because if my mom sees my iPod not working, she's gonna have a heart atack, I JUST WANT MY IPOD BACK... there is my sad history ;(

Juice On My iPod
- Well, I had my iPod in my backpack and it wouldn't fit. Then my friend started to kick my backpack into my locker. Then I remembered I had juice in there. Then my backpack started to drip. Then yeeah... I came back a day later and I got my iPod and it had water on the screen . -.- What should I do?

yeah...great.
- So, I was fixing my hair and had my fourth generation iPod in my mouth... I had my nice rubber case on it, and had a good grip on it. So it fell out of my mouth and into the TOILET. It took me a second to react, and I grabbed it RIGHT away. I wiped it off with the towel VERY well in hope it would just turn on. I unlocked it and it was FINE. I clicked on something random (camera) and the screen went BLANK and turned off. I tried hopelessly to turn it on about ten times. I pushed EVERY button. So now, it's sitting in my living room in a BIG bag of white rice.. I'm REALLY hoping it works. It's literally my life and I'm ALWAYS on it. Please work! :/

Iphone 4 and rice
- Well, I just wanna say that rice is the best way, as I tried myself several times :D. Just don't turn on your phone and let it sleep in rice for some days. If it don't work well for you, well you tried the best and there was no other way. Good luck ;)

Cooler Mishap
- I have an AWFUL problem with losing things, forgetting about them, or getting them wet. Earlier today I lost my iPod and I was so overjoyed when it was found, although it was in an ice-cold cooler filled about half full with water. My iPod was in there for at least ah hour, probably 2+. My friend's mom found it in the bottom. It's currently sitting in rice. I didn't try to turn it on, so hopefully it will work.
- —Guest My Ipod got wet badd.
rip
- My iPod fell in the toilet (it was clean), does not turn on. I blow dried it, but when I connect it to my computer it comes out. But when I try to put it in recovery mode it does not let me.

texting in the tub
- Okay so I was texting and my Mom told me to take a shower but I still wanted to text and play games. I promised myself to be really careful. I droped it for like three seconds only. I dried it off right away and let it sit, then dried it off again and tried to shake out the water. I turned it off (I think). It's chilling in some rice. The touch part wont work very well and it's really dim. What if the rice doesn't work? Then what--HELP?!?!?

shower :/
- I wash washing my hair and shampoo got in my eyes and it was burning so I grabbed my towel but that had shampoo on it too and so it burned more, so I jumped out the shower runnning around and I grabbed a shirt and my aunt's iPod was on the shirt. I wiped my eyes and it flew into the shower. :/ It was working but the light was very dim, so then I blow dried it and now it wont cut on.
