15 mth applecare left, what for ?

my Ipod 4th g clickwheel (no color) 20Gig did not fall. I found the screen broken (not the outside glass which has no visible impact , but the LCD screen with an extensive black spot on the left lower corner).
I bought it last december along with an applecare coverage.
I call applecare, they sent me an ups box and the Ipod went for a trip to the centralized European repair center last week.
I received it back today without repair, with a polite letter saying that it is not covered neither by the warranty nor the applecare, and that they won't even repair it "because of the prohibited cost of the repair".
Of course, because I found the screen broken when I took it from my bag (inside its leather protection skin), I cannot be 100% sure there was no injury to the Ipod outside of my view.
Now I have an "unusable" 4g Ipod (it still works as an external hard drive, and the music player is still good, but "random") , with a 15 month applecare coverage left...
What would you do yourself in this situation ?

asked for the money back :
Ok they said, this will cost 25 Euros for opening the file, and the money back will calculated in deduction of the time since the date of purchase of the applecare : means, 10 months out 24. So from 65 Euros = 38 Euros - 25 Euros : 13 Euros (ridiculous)
No way to transfer the apple care to a new purchased ipod..
Remember, if you buy an applecare just before the one year warranty, you will pay full price (65 Euros). This may drive us to never buy an ipod apple care before the end of the warranty, or buy the applecare the day of the problem appears, except if this is a screen problem..

  • I have a 2010 Macbook Pro and am a very new user to Mac community. My Mac is just hanging and I am unable to shut it down or do anything at all.  I left it for 2.5 days hoping the battery will run flat but it is not working. Pls help! I am desperate. Tx

    I have a 2010 Macbook Pro and am a very new user to Mac community only started to use this PC a few weeks ago.
    My Mac is just hanging and I am unable to shut it down or do anything at all.  I left it for 2.5 days hoping the battery will run flat but it is not working. Pls help! I am desperate. Tx

    In order to resolve the issue if it occurs again, more info would be helpful as to what occurred prior to the "hang." One potential fix would be to try a Safe Boot:
    After the Mac is completely shut down, push the power button and immediately after the startup tone, hold down the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    There should be a message that says "SafeBoot." After the Mac is completely booted, try restarting and see if the issue is gone.

  • Friend left iPhone for Android. My iPhone insists on sending iMessage instead of text. Help

    So my friend that I text with occassionaly has left Apple for Android (i know right?). Anyway, we had a nice little iMessage session going but now that she has continued texting me from her android, my iPhone insists on replying via iMessage and will not switch to text. I've deleted the thread, deleted her as a contact, restarted my phone, typed in just her number for the text, but alas, it still tries to send it as an iMessage.
    solution? Anyone? Thanks 

    It doesn't affect what she sends you. What happens is that when you reply, iMessage checks Apple's servers and finds a device active with her phone number, so it tries to send it as an iMessage. iMessage is tied to the phone number as well as an e-mail address.
    Tell her to try this:
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Log in if not already logged in.
    Click on "edit products"
    Click on the "x" to the right of the product.

  • Tool bar gifs are not showing up when the application left idle for long.

    Hi,
    I have a Java application built with jdk sdk 1.4. This application was earlier on jdk 1.3 and very recently we moved to 1.4.
    The problem here is, tool bar gifs don't show up when the application is left idle for long or kept minimized for long. After I minimize and maximize, they show up. Also sometimes few are seen and few are not, and again as I said minimize and maximize, the rest(which were not showing up earlier) turn and therest don't.
    What could be the reason. This was not the case in jdk 1.3.
    Any help wil be highly appriciated.
    Thanx

    I have the same issue with 1.4.

  • Left Navigation for Subcommunities

    Hi,
    Can someone throw some light on this issue? I am trying to display subcommunities and the page links under them on the left nav for a specific community selected on the horizontal tabs.... How do i implement the expand/collapse functionality for the same?
    I am not able to identify what sub-community i clicked on previously, while i am rendering the left nav so that i expand the specific subcommunity to show its pages.
    thanks in advance

    I am not sure what you are trying to do here. What type of expand/collapse functionality are you looking for? Something like a dynamic expandable tree or the exaplandable/collapsable menu section in the left vertical navigation scheme.

  • I have an iPad2 and I can't delete some apps I downloaded that I don't want.  I can get the apps lto wiggle, but there is no X in the upper left corner for deletion.  Any help is much appreciated.

    I have an iPad2 and I can't delete some apps I was downloading but froze.  I can get the apps to wiggle, but there is no X in the upper left corner for deletion. I have tried re-setting and didn't work. Help will be appreciated.

    See if anything here helps.
    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
    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 - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • Why is it accessing A: drive if left running for sometime?

    If the studio is left running for a while , it seems to miss the project folder and start looking at A: drive - Are the volumes dismounted automagically or is it a feature known in the early release?

    Other that large is corrupt data. Normally, a restore from backup fixes things.
    So, I discovered something new about iTunes today. The "Restore from backup" context menu option that appears when you click your iOS device in the Devices tree on the left of iTunes, is different from the "Restore" button that you get on the Summary tab for your device.
    "Restore from backup" just does an restore from backup. Whereas the Restore button does a restore and then restore from backup. Make sense? Hmm.
    This distinctly different functionality is not clear to the user, indeed the advice I was given above was to "Restore from backup", which in this instance is not what is needed to clear out the "Other" data.
    In summary, to fix my problem I:
    - performed a complete Backup (from iOS Device context menu)
    - performed a Restore (clicked Restore button on Summary tab)
    - after device is reset with latest iOS software, chose latest backup
    My other data shrank to 0.2Gb, and as an added bonus another 1.4 GB of other space was freed up from Apps and Video, even though I can't find anything missing, so I suspect there was other non-"Other" data that was cleared out by this procedure.

  • When I check my iCloud backup it says it has never backed up and when I try to back manually it gives a message of " estimating back up time" and doesn't back up even after having left it for many hours?

    When I check my iCloud backup it says it has never backed up and when I try to back manually it gives a message of " estimating back up time" and doesn't back up even after having left it for many hours?

    Yes I have tried that last weekend ad this weekend. I have tried wi fi at different times of the day too; in case it is speed issue. I have tried selecting only backing up limited content and not every thing per what other users suggest.
    It's maybe either the router is lousy or there is something wrong with my software or hardware.
    Appreciate your thoughts
    Thanks!!

  • My iphone 4 turn of i left it for a while and tried to turn it back on the load up screen with the apple icon came up and after a few seconds went of again and the iphone turned back of again, HELP?

    Try this  - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • 3g-six months left - what if battery begins to die?

    hi - i have six months left on my 3g contract - won't be buying myself out or upgrading in Jan - chances are a new iphone will be available august/september next year
    so i plan to wait another year and get the best possible deal - any ideas if my battery will see out that long - how much is do apple charge to replace the battery?
    you see my concern here!?
    dc/uk

    Think about buying an extra year AppleCare Protection Plan for the phone http://www.apple.com/support/products/applecareiphone.html
    or wait and replace the batterie when needed
    I extended my AppleCare, which covers the batterie as well
    iPhone Owners
    Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. You can extend your coverage to two years from the date of your iPhone purchase with the AppleCare Protection Plan for iPhone. During the plan’s coverage period, Apple will replace the battery if it drops below 50% of its original capacity. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $79, plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.

    The HUD Inspector in Full Screen View seems to position at the right margin of the image as a default(?)  If I toggle the button in the top right of the HUD it 'unlocks' and I can drag it to where I prefer -- at the left margin; (for over a decade) my dock has resided at the right margin so all my slider manipulation over countless editing sessions in Aperture has been ingrained to work at the left margin -- but, the vast majority of the time, the HUD overlaps the image I am editing in this 'unlocked' mode. 
    Every occasionally I enter Full Screen View and it positions on the left margin *without* superimposition...(!) My great joy is modulated into aggravation, however, should my tracking cursor drift all the way 'out of bounds' -- to call in the hidden pane of adjacent images sequenced in the library... This dramatically shrinks the Full Screen display and re-locks the HUD; if I toggle the switch to re-xpand the image it re-positions at the right margin!!!!  I SOOoooooo wish I knew how to control the default 'locked' margin of the HUD in Full Screen View...

    Drag it over to the Left. Then lock it there.
