I've got a 7 year old 30gb video ipod and the headphone port no longer works! Please help :)

I've got a 7 year old 30gb video ipod and the headphone port no longer works.
I went to the Apple shop and they said it is now vintage and they can't fix my baby they offered me 10% to trade her in for a new model...
what else can I try to save her?  I've tried cleaning and wiggling and restoring. Everything looks and feels ok.

I've just found 'iPod Dock Connector Headphone Jack' on ebay it as an adapter that will connect my earphones via the wide ipod port better than 10% of something new

  • My 30GB video ipod keeps hanging up, im using mac osx (PLEASE HELP)

    i just got my ipod, a few weeks ago, it keep wanting to restore, and i ignored it for a week and when i connected it to my macbook the icons were black and white and it had to restore, so i did and i put all my music back on it, when i went to play a song it started, then it stoped, and there was a clicking noise coming from the ipod, ive tried the 5r's and they havent helped, my battery is completely full.
    please help

    You've done everything that's reasonable for an almost-new iPod. If I were in your position, I'd take advantage of the warranty. If you're in the U.S., call 800-275-2273.

  • A year ago I paid to update my Pages.  If I click on the doc on the desktop the old Pages opens up and I can't save my work. Help!

    A year ago I paid to update Pages to 4.1.  If I click on a Pages doc on the desktop the old Pages opens up and I can't save my work and so I lose what I do.  So for a year I have been remembering to open Pages using the icon on the bottom of the desktop and all is OK.  But when my work is being reviewed and resent to me, then I have problems with opening that file and saving those changes.  So I have been coping and pasting the resent work to me and putting it into a new doc.  
    So today wanting to fix this annoying problem and reading something on this forum I went into applications and moved a Pages something that was in Applications into the iwork 09 file.  A pop up box asked if I wanted to replace the old Pages with the newer version and I clicked Yes. 
    Now I can't open up any of my Pages work on the desktop.
    I have not shut down my laptop and restarted - would this solve the problem?
    I am not going to panic - just yet ... but can anybody help!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar       
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB one and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours. The cracked screen voids any warranty you had on the iPod.

  • My iPhone 4 is only 14 months old over dropped very well looke after, one day the lock button stops then the volume buttons, now the headphone port does not work and the battery lasts about 4 hours after full charge I still have a year left on my contract

    My phone is 2 months out of warranty, it's never been dropped or miss used yet the past week every day something has gone wrong with it. First the lock button stopped then the side volume buttons. Then the head phone port when I putt headphones in the phone turns the volume
    Down automatically and it won't turn up until I take my headphones back out. The battery lasts 4 hours max after a full charge and today I took my phone off the docking charger and all my music has gone! The phone is breaking down more and more everyday what is going on! I know people who have had there iPhones years an non of this happen! I still have a year left on my contract too!

    Who is your carrier and what is your coverage with them? If you are with say Verizon, and have Total Equipment Coverage or Extended Coverage, they will swap it out for you under Manufacturer Warrantee.

  • I just got a new system for my Mac OS and the internet sharing is not working.

    The "Sharing" in the System Preferences looks way different and has screen charing, scanner sharing, remote login, remote management, remote apple events, and bluetooth sharing with checks near it. I once connected to my laptop, but it said something like an IP address needed to be verified. I then put in an address and they gave me one but it's still not working. Please help! How do I connect the internet?

    Your text is not clear: you wish to connect to the internet, and you cannot do that? or you want to share your internet connection, to be used by other computers, and you do not know how to do this?
    The title of your thread indicates the latter (this is the meaning of share), but your text rather indicates the former situation.
    In order to share net, you must first mac connected to the net up and running, but I understand you did not get to that point, right?
    Please be clear.

  • I've got twin 12 year old boys and want to set I tunes accounts for them both, I need to be able to administer any purchases as they will need to use my bank account. How can I do this?

    I've got twin 12 year old boys and want to set I tunes accounts for them both, I need to be able to administer any purchases as they will need to use my bank account. How can I do this?

    What do you mean by administer?
    When you set up the account you have to enter a birthday and it has to results in being 13 years old or older.
    You can set a Restriction that hides the iTunes and App store and another one to prevent in-app purchases. See:

    Try the old two stand-by's first:

    Reset SMC.

    I've tried looking at my own itunes account but I cannot seem to find the allowance account, it says I currently have zero allowance accounts.
    All I want to do is change the assigned email address.

    Who is the email provider? Not all accounts can be set up as POP3

    You need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to sync the iPhone 5; this may require buying a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store. OS upgrades aren't covered by the warranty.

  • 1 year old 40 GB Ipod

    Hi,
    My daughter's 1 year and 1 month old 40 GB Ipod suddenly stopped working. You can hear the hard drive just spinning and spinning. There is a folder with an exclamation point on it. I can't restore the ipod (I have already reset it) because the computer won't recognize the ipod and the restore button is shadowed out.
    Does this sound like the Ipod is forever dead? She only had a 1 year warranty one it (go figure the one time we didn't buy an extended warranty on something) but figuring we already paid over $400.00 for this, we figured it would work for a while.
    Any ideas to fix this? I am willing to mail it in for repair but don't want to spend 250 to get it fixed.
    Thanks so much,
    Ellen

    You could start with this if you don't have an Apple Store nearby that you could take it in to.
