😢PLEASE HELP!!! I dropped my ipod and I put it in rice for two days and it still wont turn on so I plugged it into the computer and itunes detected it but it cant sync cause I have a password on my ipod I was wondering if there was any way for me to unlock my ipod from online or should I just get it replaced?😢
iPod touch (4th generation), iOS 6.1
The recommended time to leave in rice is a week not a day
Since you have powered it up the damage is done now
Take it to Apple and purchase an out of warranty replacement
I would leave it is rice five days longer. Then thre:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
If it still does not work,
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.
However, if you previouslypurchased the AppleCare+ extended waranty and you purchased the iPod les than two year ago the exchange price is $29
i dropped my ipod in the sink will have to pay for a replacement?
