Can Ipods swim?

I've been there and done that. NO, they do not survive. Welcome to the wonderful world of electronics.

Oh mighty fishie one, I'm afraid that - according to the roomie who WORKS for Apple and used to do call in repairs/dispaches and still works in the area - iPods don't swim! I'm afraid its a long wait till Christmas - tho I'm also not saying that it might not dry out, but it probably won't work right.

Leave it to relax and dry for a couple of days and it may be ok. My daughter had a phone which tried to escape down the loo a couple of times then tried a dive into the nappy bucket it still worked for a couple of months once it dried out.

a few months ago i forgot i had mine in my pocket and i washed it in the washer. i let it sit out on the table for a couple of days, plugged it in and to my wonderful surprised it worked just fine. so i think your daughter's ipod just might be ok

It's amazing how electronics are able to survive water. I'd say, just leave it out for a few days to dry really really well, and see what happens. I wouldn't set it in the sun (condensation issues) or charge it for a few days though.. just to make sure it's totally dry. Years ago, I had a cordless phone that survived a dunking in milk, thanks to Andrew. But I also have a niece who decided to share her milk with her "see and say" toy (there were farm animals on it). Sadly, that toy didn't "survive" the feeding.

I don't know about iPods, p1kef1sh, but my son dropped his mobile phone down the toilet about a year ago. He even took it to the repairer, but they said it was unsalvageable. Well, my husband put it on top of the hot water heater tank in the laundry, and my son tried it every couple of weeks. After three months, it came to life again - voila! I think the insides needed a slow drying out, that was all. Worth a try, if all else fails ...

I don't happen to know if it would survive or not but maybe after it dries out it will work. M sister in law had the misfortune to have to fish her cell phone out of the potty once and it still worked but she had to wait till it fully dried.

LOL well my son learned the hard way that NO they dont and can't....His iPod drowned recently in our pool while being trapped in my boys pocket.. Yep it is gonna be a long wait until Xmas....mind you his birthday is in Oct but even so

Oh my gosh... If you can take it apart and let it dry thoroughly I may or may not work pike, I have seen stranger things happen with electronics, so before you throw it out let is dry good for several days, put it in a sunny window it may take a good few days before all the components have dried good.

My iPod has gotten a little damp (rain and such) and been fine, but most electronic things don't react well to taking a dip. :) You might check the Apple website, because I'm sure your daughter isn't the first one to drop her iPod into water. :)

i don't think that comes with the features. i know it has lots of capability but taking to the water (or the toilet bowl) like a fish ain't one of them. I think your best hope is that it dries out quickly and is hardy enough not to have rusted in the interim. i know cameras definitely drown. i had the sorry experience of seeing one drown years ago.

i doubt...get it checked by a local ipod dealer....or browse the net to see whether somebody else has similar problem.most of them will since the ipod is so common.I have a ipod nano second gen which is without video.have dropped it,got wet in the rain etc etc etc.still it works like hell...still works perfectly.

I've never dropped mine in the toilet, but it did fall in the dog's water bowl once. Mine still works! They do make waterproof cases for them now too. You can buy them at the Apple Store. Truthfully I seldom use my actual IPOD anymore. I bought myself an IPOD shuffle and love it so much more than the regular IPOD. Easier to use, much smaller (the size of a matchbook) and it clips on my clothing. I wear mine doing housework, shopping, all sorts of things. And the great thing is they are so cheap! My family actually has 6 of them. My 68 year old Dad has three that we keep charged for him, because he wears them clipped to his shirt while he works every day. He doesn't know how to download, doesn't even own a computer, so we handle all that and all he has to do is enjoy. :)

At least mine cant swim, and i never take it into the bathroom .ipod is just the iopd ,i remember my first one was my brother give me , and now i've got 3

I seriously doubt it will ..... cos once water enters thats the end of that item. This is the problem with the electronic products...

My cellphone jumped into the hot tub last summer. It did the same thing as the iPod is doing, so I took out the battery, blew into all the connections, let it dry for a few minutes, and put it back together. It has worked just fine ever since.

I doubt that it will work again hehe. That is so sad but it would be great if you had warranty hehe.

Di you let it dry good. Sometimes when electronics get wet if you let them dry the come back like they were brand new. If that doesn't work then you have to wait for xmas. I know she is not happy about that.

My mobile survived several near drownings down the loo and one in a rock pool, so I guess the iPod will recover once ti dries out inside. What finally killed my mobile was being dropped in a pan of vinegar. That really fried it's innards. Tell your daughter to hold onto it tight next time she's making chutney!

Sounds like that ipod, needed a little cool down. Very Hot over there this summer. Try the manufacturer, customer service; they will tell you, if there is a way to repair it. or ¿What about using a hair blower, at low heat and not too close to it?
