Is Apple going to replace Scratched Nano's?

I like many others have just purchased an iPod Nano, and it already has scratches on it after only a few days.
Obviously this is a production fault relating to inferior materials!
Is Apple going to refund or replace Nano's suffering from this fault, as it is a manufacturing fault in my eyes!

    How much does Apple charge to replace ipod nano 3G Battery?

    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.

  • Ipod nano 2nd gen, 5 years old, has short battery life. Can the battery be replaced? If not, does apple have a replacement program? how much?

    Details:
    5 year old 2nd Gen Ipod nano only works for an hour the most. Battery may be approaching end of life.
    Can this still be replaced? if not, what are my options? Does apple have a replacement program?

    Just would like to share with you, my experience with a friend's Nano with a smiliar problem
    The battery level could be too low to boot up the OS of the iPod, which even may corrupted (if you see a folder icon).
    The best way to fix it, is to connect it with different device other than your PC as it is likely not get charge at all, e.g.
    1. car charger
    2. ac charger
    3. ipod speaker dock system
    4. using firewire cable
    5. with a Mac computer
    The key is to charge the battery level up to the minimum for you to put your Nano into disk mode

    once you see the "tick" mark, connect it with a computer, and try to do a Restore for your iPod. In case you still do not manage to get your iPod to be recognized by a PC, I am afraid you have to connect it with a Mac, very likely it will allow you to do a Restore as I did last night

  • I responded to a request to update my computer yesterday and now cant use Reunion 8! Is Apple going to fix this problem?

    I am unable to use Reunion 8 since yesterday when I responded to a request to update my computer! Now it will start to open and then quit. The makers of Reunion tell me it has affected a lot of users. Is Apple going to fix this "security" update? All of my genealogy info is in that program! I have backed it up on a disc but not since May 2011.

    I've outlined the restore proceedure here, it covers a lot of bases and explains what is going to occur so please don't be intimidated it's a LOT easier that it appears.
    Take your time and comprehend the steps involved and you'll be backup up like before in short order.
    Security Update 2012-001 Bricks Rosetta programs
    Restore method.
    #1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
    Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
    Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
    #2 Try Restoring from a TimeMachine or hold option bootable clone
    If you have TimeMachine drive, or a hold the option key bootable clone use that to erase and restore from before the Security Update occured.
    Obviously if you didn't make a recent backup before the update, your going to have to skip to Step #3.
    Note: A TM restore can take a awfully long time, a clone restore takes under 2 hours in most cases.
    If you don't know how to restore from TM drive
    http://pondini.org/OSX/Home.html
    #3 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
    If no recent TM or bootable clone then:
    Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk and Permissions  (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
    Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway)  or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
    Note: If Disk Uitlity can't repair the drive, then come back to seek further assistance and make sure you have a copy of your data off the machine.
    #4 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001
    Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
    #5 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
    When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason.
    If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.
    https://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
    Note: For most users likley Step #3 and #4 is likley all that is needed to be done.
    That's it really.

    Unverified hacks
    Note: You may see a "hack" for this issue floating around, it has had mixed results as people's software is different.
    You may want to try it, but it's at your own risk. It has worked fast for some and not at all for others, hopefully over time it will work for all.
    The above methods I outline are Apple approved restore methods + based upon experience here and not a quick fix, but are sure to work as Apple recommends such steps themselves.
    If at any time you feel this is beyond your capability, please seek local Mac/PC professional assistance before you lose your data.
    In fact my steps above are very simple, you might want to have a family member or friend perfrom the proceedure in about a hour or two.
    If you don't have any backup, please maintain at least a TM drive, just hook up a new blank external drive and TM will ask you to make a backup, takes some time so let it work.
    If your a bit more skilled, a option bootable clone is much superior than TM drive.
    Good Luck

  • How much does Apple charge to replace a hard drive?

    I have a Macbook I bought in the Summer of 2008 (not sure the model, etc.) I know it was the smallest memory (a.k.a. cheapest model) if that helps at all.  I got a screen with a flashing folder/question mark this morning and everything I've read points to a hard drive failure.  I did all the troubleshooting that Apple has on the website and nothing worked.  I'm going to take it to the Apple store within the next week, but I was wondering how much Apple would charge to replace the drive.  For the record... I'm NOT tech savvy at all, and I am not going to replace it myself... I know it's cheaper, etc. but it's not worth it to me.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

    The brand of hard drive isn't that important to me. They're pretty much all the same. As to size, whatever you think you might need. Look at the ones at Newegg.com. A large hard drive doesn't cost that much more than a small one.
    Since your old hard drive died you'll need to start fresh after you've installed the new drive.
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Start up from the installer disk (hold down the C key or hold down the Option key after you hear the chime) When you get to the Install screen select Disk Utility under Utilities on the top menu.
    2. After Disk Utility loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.Click on the Erase tab and set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) and click Erase
    3. After it has erased click on the Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window.
    4. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    5. Quit Disk Utility and install the Mac OS

  • Apple iPod Battery Replacement Program Experiences.

    Hello, as you all know apple offers the battery replacement program for 99 dollars (now sixty something dollars). For any of you that have tried it, can you please tell us all a little about how was your experience? did you get a better ipod or a worse one? a refurbished, used or new? scratched or perfect?
    please leave a comment on how your experience was with Apple's battery replacement program even if it is a very small one.

    I just received my refurbished iPod back yesterday. It looked like new! The engraving was on the back, just like the unit I sent in.
    However, the reason I am on the forums today is that when I plugged it in to charge the new battery before synching, I received the familiar "battery with exclamation point" screen. So now I seem to have a clean, new or refurbished unit with the same old problem. Frustrating to say the least.

  • My daughters computer crashed along with her itunes library.  She can plug it into my computer so how do we create her account on my computer?  When we plug it in, it wants to replace her nano songs with my library.

  • Apple won't replace dead pixel?

    Hi,
    somebody told me that Apple will not replace your iPod if you have a dead pixel, you have to have a few dead pixels for them to replace it.
    Does anybody know if this is true, or had any experience with Apple Returns and Repairs with a dead pixel?
    Its just that I had a dead pixel on my iPod video, I sent it back to them, and now they sent me an email telling me that they couldn't find anything wrong with it and they are returning my original iPod back to me.
    So I don't know whether I should send it back to them again if they are just going to return it to me again.

    Thanks for your help dude.
    Think you just saved me some time sending it back again.
    Not that it will change anything but I want to moan anyway...
    on a tiny iPod screen a dead pixel is alot more obtrusive than one on a large Mac monitor.
    I guess I'll have to hope a few more pixels die on me before my warranty expires.

  • How will i know if apple denied warranty replacement

    Ive heard alot of horror stories that apple refuses to replace or fix phones ipads etc... under warranty and im just curious as to how i would know if my repair is going thru or if anyone knows what it would say on the repair status page ?? Im just curious bc i have been waiting a while without a phone and if anyone knows if they will email me saying your phone cannot be replaced etc... or if the repair status thingy will say something

    sherbear
    On that page ( I am showing you mine - where I have no pending issues ) there is a pane on the right side that has two 'Folder-Like' icons - when you click one, it will open up another detail of that topic showing all current activity. If they are grayed out like mine, that means you have nothing in that system.
    If you took your iPhone to the Genius Bar at the AppleStore, call the AppleStore and ask them your warranty question (they really should have told you up front, as they are very knowledgeable and helpful)

  • How much does apple charge to replace front glass/screen?

    So I have a cracked front glass. I am wondering how much Apple charges to replace it? I called the closet store and they said they cannot give prices over the phone that I would have to come in. Problem is, the store is 40 minutes away. There is a mall about 10 minutes away that charges $70 for front replacement.

    apple get you a new phone for 199$ they dont just fix screens. but warning going to any one else will void any warranty you have with apple

  • What's the best way to replace iPod Nano 1st Generation?

    I have two iPod Nano 1st Generations. One from 2005 and one from 2006. The one from 2005 just works when it feels like it. Sometimes it works and most of the time it doesn't. And the one from 2006 recently exploded when it was charging. A silver bag (I'm assuming the battery) expanded and ripped the iPod apart breaking the plastic around the scroller.
    Should I use that replacement program (I heard it didn't work for some) or can I just bring them to an Apple Store to replace them?

    See if either qualifes under the 1G Nano recall.

  • IMac froze while surfing web last night (color pinwheel), I forced quit and now when rebooting the fan and chime come on, the monitor stays on grey and the apple sign is replaced by a stop sign and I can't get past this, is there self fix? Never backed up

    iMac froze while surfing web last night (color pinwheel), I forced quit and now when rebooting the fan and chime come on, the monitor stays on grey and the apple sign is replaced by a stop sign and I can't get past this, is there self fix? Never backed up.
    The computer (top / back of monitor) gets really hot within minutes.

    How old is the iMac?
    With no backup, you have probably lost all your data.
    Sounds like serious hardware problem for which you are going to have to take it to Apple for an estimate of repairs.
