1 year warranty
1 year warranty
A friend and I got identical ipod nano’s at Christmas 2005. I look after my ipod nano as if it were my child. In the 5months I have had it, it has not a single scratch is to be seen on the surface. My friend does not take as much care as me and his is very battered and worn.
However, yesterday I sat down on the sofa with my ipod wrapped up in my pocket. The headphones must have pushed down on the screen. This cracked the screen indelibly.
I understand that ipod products have a 1 year warranty so I should be able to get a repair or replacement due to the cause of the problem not being an “accident” but due to the poor manufacture of the screen.
So, the problem is: What do I do to get a repair/replacement/refund?
I search the website? – Can’t find what to do.
I email the local apple store – no reply.
My A-level exams are in a few weeks, and this should be the least of my worries so a quick resolution is imperative.
What am I to do?
I was going to buy an apple laptop because I like the look of them but if the poor service from apple and fragility of my ipod nano is anything to go by, I don’t think I will make the same mistake again. Then again, if I can get a rapid resolution I might think again.
Thanks,
Ian Woodrow.

"According to Macworld, Apple said that they have tracked down the problem of broken screens.
“This is a real but minor issue involving a vendor quality problem in a small number of units,” Apple’s Senior Vice President of Worldwide Product Marketing Phil Schiller told MacCentral. “In fact, this issue has affected less than 1/10 of 1 percent of the total iPod nano units that we’ve shipped. It is not a design issue.”
Schiller said that if customers find they have this problem, all they have to do is contact AppleCare and their iPod will be replaced.

Not just me being "careless", I should get a repair under my 1 year warranty.

IF it is a manufacturing defect and you bought the device from Apple or an authorized Apple retailer, then take it into Apple.

I've had my iPhone 4 for just under a year now and a couple weeks ago the lock button broke. At first, it was just difficult to press down and now it's just completely stuck. I've been using the assistive touch but it's kind of a hassle. I still have a few days left of my one year warranty, so if I went to the Apple Store would they fix/replace my phone for free or would I have to pay? Also, I was having issues with my speakers previously so I went to get it fixed and they said my phone has water damage and I would need to pay to fix it. Will the water damage effect them fixing my lock button too or is it different? Any advice/guidence is greatly appreciated!
If there is water damage then they will likely conclude that your issues are a result of that and you will have to pay.
But don't ask us, ask them. We're users and this have no idea what Apple will say in your case. -
I have a cracked iPhone 6 screen. I just bought the phone, but not AppleCare. If I get my iphone screen replaced through apple how much do I pay and would it void my one year warranty with Apple?
To replace your phone's screen costs $109US and I don't see why having Apple replace the screen would void your warranty.

My ipad mini has not been functioning properly as of late and it is making me worry. What could be causing this problem? Are such changes covered by the one year warranty?
If there is a hardware problem that is causing the lack of touch screen sensitivity, it would be covered by the warranty as long as the problem was not caused by accidental damage - like dropping the iPad, getting it wet, letting it get too cold, too hot ...something like that.
See if this helps. Close all of the apps in the recents tray and then reboot your iPad.
Tap the home button first. Then double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
my screen broke and i can no longer see whats happening ive had my phone for 4 months and im under 1 year warranty im sure. they said it would cost me 200$ to replace the phone at the apple store
Apple's one year limited warranty covers hardware... not physical damage!

TS1713 Does my 1-year warranty cover the replacement of a damaged Magsafe adaptor?
The cord on my 85W Magsafe adaptor has been damaged. Does my 1-year warranty cover the replacement of the adaptor?
The cord directly connected to the adaptor was starting to rip off, and so my mother used electrical tape to fix it. The tape ended up melting, somehow causing the cord to rip off, but not completely. The charger works to an extent - it's very on and off. However, I still would like to replace it for a new one. Will I still be able to replace it? With warranty covering it?

Does the one year warranty that comes with my phone cover the charging cord ?
I have an iphone 4S and the charging cord that came with the phone has stopped working. I was wondering if the one year warranty that i have for my phone covers the charging cord ?
if the cable is damaged you will need any way another one, so call Apple and ask for replacement and in case they recieve the Cable and they find out that it's covered they will bill you and then you will see that the deposit is less expensive then to buy new Cable

Good afternoon, I would like some information I have an ipod nano 6th generation and has the same one-year warranty is only 2 months of use, and it fell down and broke the glass of the display, I called technical assistance in Brazil and informed me that Brazil has no repair services for Apple, which was the basis of its price change in the exchange is not worth half the value of the product.
I wonder how I do to change this device without the expense of 50% for the same product is in warranty?
Thanks in advance.yes agree, plus a multinational seeing a product and has no technical assistance to do the maintenance then it's no use I buy a new product if it is damaged I will always be because it has no prejudice in this maintenance.
sorry but even more products coming from China to Brazil in technical assistance. -
Paid £120 for a replacement iPhone 3GS 16GB White around 6 months ago, ONLY TWO MONTHS afterwards it seemed to think it was stuck on a docking station, so I got another replacement as it was virtually unusable! Of course I got scammed, and was given a refurbished unit, instead of another new one, after paying £120 as a student for a new one to avoid any further issues! I CANNOT afford a new phone and I am FURIOUS that I may not have the years warranty I practically paid for by buying a new unit that only worked to its full functionality for 2 MONTHS, to get a replacement with only 90 days warranty, how is that right? NOT ONLY SHOULD I GET A BRAND NEW REPLACEMENT AGAIN BUT I SHOULD ALSO HAVE MY YEARS WARRANTY I AM MOST CERTAINLY ENTITLED TO!
Personally I think this is an outrage, and I believe I am entitled to the years warranty I paid for, and a replacement now as my 5-6 month iPhone's LCD has decided to completely pack in possibly costing me £30 for a new, none-genuine LCD that I would have to trust myself to replace.
I deserve my full warranty, I feel like I have been scammed by a huge company that couldn't care less whether their products reach the customer with the sales of goods act i'm mind at all.
I think this is an outrage, and hope to be reassured by somebody on here.
thank you for taking the time to read my post,
yours sincerely, Olly.thank you for your reply! I hope you are accurate in what you are saying, I have not voided my warranty in any way, the iPhone I paid for had a fault that meant, for some reason not only did it think it was constantly on a docking station, meaning the speakers nor the volume would work, but it would overheat when charging, this was nothing that I did to the iPhone.
so in that case I am still covered by the years warranty?
this is great if I am, although I thought all refurbished replacements only had a 90 day warranty. so if you need a replacement, you've only got 90 days for a component to break in order to get a replacement, which I think is unfair in every way as a refurbished replacement is even more likely to go wrong, not only that but it is more likely to go wrong in a smaller amount of time too! -
My iphone 5 is not charging properly. Recently the USB cable was emitting sparks on connecting it to my laptop.This has resulted in physical damage of the wire. Is it still eligible for replacement since it is under 1 year warranty?
Why not. The iPhone was also delivered with a charger to connect to the wall outlet, use it

I am not fromUK, but it happens that I'll be visiting UK in a couple of days( to Harrow) and would like to know if I can purchase it from stores other than from the apple for about the same price.

The bottom part of the screen is like bright it looks all weird i cant see annything in that part my ipod still has the 1 year warranty do u guys think i can get it fix for free or would i have to pay?
Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If you iPod is defective, within warranty and not abused, Apple will exchange it at no cost. -
I accisentally dropped my iphone on the ground causing damaged on the
corder edge of the phone. Can this still be repaired? My phone is still within the first year warranty. I hope to hear from you. Thank youThe standard iPhone warranty does not cover accidental damage. Apple will fix it, but they will charge the full repair cost.
The AppleCare+ warranty for the phone, which you can buy within 30 days of the iPhone purchase, does cover two incidents of accidental damage and repairs are charged at $75 I believe.
Your carrier warranty, if you have one, may cover accidental damage - check with them.
