Ensure that the device is switched off and any cables that were connected are removed. The device should also not be turned on till the water damage on the ipod has been repaired. The buttons should also not be pressed either.
Next, remove the SIM card and gently wipe with a dry cloth or paper towel. It is then necessary to dry the device itself. For this, use a hair dryer on a low setting and blow the hot air onto the iPod to get rid of any excess moisture. A high setting blowing out very hot air can damage the device. Not advised!
Then, place a small cup full of rice into a plastic bag and then put the device into the bag. The rice should now soak up and additional moisture left in the device. Keep the bag partially open to allow the humidity to escape.
Usually 24 hours is enough, however, if there is still moisture present, add more rice and leave it again.
This should have removed virtually all of the water from the device and once the SIM card has been refitted, should be back to good working order.
If all the advice above fails, take it to the nearest Apple store where they will be able to advise you further.
