Months ago, I posted information about iPodExtract. It’s a great way to pull music off of your iPod if you have somehow lost your music library on your PC. The only problem is that it doesn’t work with many newer devices such as my 3rd generation iPod Nano.
Luckily I discovered a new method to save my precious music files. Music Rescue completely blew me away with the ease of use. When you install it, it detects your iPod automatically. You can then choose the folder you wish to extract the music to. Here’s the kicker. You’re files are rescued and restored to where you won’t know the difference. They will be in their original format as if they never were lost from your iTunes library.
I have only had a chance to play with the PC/Windows version, but there is a Mac version as well that I am sure is just as robust.

So you decided to jump into the pool with your iPod on? Maybe your were listening to it while doing your business, then got up and it slid right into the toilet? Well, there is still hope for your iPod. Give your iPod the best chance with these tips:
Do not attempt to turn your iPod back on right away
It’s not so much the water that damages electronics, but the short that can happen if you power them on when they are still wet. Keep it off until you know it’s totally dry.
Remove all peripherals from the device
Take the case off, headphones and any other items that might be attached to your iPod.
Use a vacuum
Take then handheld part of a vacuum cleaner and run it around the device. Try to get as much of the water out of it as possible. DO NOT use an item like a blow dryer. That will only force air into other areas of your iPod and may cause more damage.
Leave the device in a well ventilated area
Place the device face up in an area where the water will evaporate out of it. What I like to do is put it in front of a low running fan. Leave it there for at least 3 days, longer if it’s really saturated.
