Apple didn't even try to fix my ipod

Our iPod displayed the unhappy ipod symbol and didn't appear to charge anymore. The local genius bar told my husband that our iPod needed a new battery and to mail it in. We mailed it in.
A week later we received two conflicting messages from Apple: 1) an email saying that they couldn't find a problem with our ipod, it works fine, and that they had mailed it back, and 2) a form letter with a check box indicating that we had spilled something in the ipod, and it couldn't be fixed.
Both are clearly wrong. We never spilled anything in the ipod and it obviously doesn't work. Did they even open the package?

Really, no one here could possibly answer that question. However, I do know that most similar bits of consumer electronics have a Liquid Damage Indicator in them. It's often a piece of specially treated paper that changes color when exposed to moisture (starts out white, becomes pink, then red). Given that they opened your package and your iPod, that's how they would have determined liquid/moisture exposure.

  • I have followed the step-by-step instructions to try and fix my iPod mini, but nothing is working.  It continually turns itself off and on, and in and out of disk mode. How do I fix this? please help!

    I havent used my iPod Mini in about a year, but last time I was on it worked.  I have tried almost everything.

    Sounds like your battery is failing. If you have AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, you can still take to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

  • HT201270 Apple please fix this the dock connector in my car effects the airplay on my phone no matter what I try to fix it it always goes to play music on the dock connector in my car even when I do not ask it to! The iPhone selection is no choice.

    For the last 2 1/2 weeks Droid Incredible 2 has been doing the same thing....uninstalled countless apps, then even a factory resest.   Plugged it in last night at 40% power, it was charging.  Woke up this morning and once again completed dead. Apparently, this is happening to a great number of Incredible 2 owners.  Hope Verizon makes it right.

    Imac Snow Leopard .....While adding new fonts, somehow dumped necessary fonts from OS 10.6 library. now have only blank menus, dialog boxes, even apple support site. How to fix?

    Thanks again baltwo,
    Thank you all very much,
    Strangely enough even though I had gotten the " Install failed....Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer....The install could not copy the necessary support files"  I had left it on the screen and left the room for awhile. I walked back into my computer room a few minutes ago and the window on the screen stated that the SL OS 10.6.4 had successfully installed. I am now very carefully checking things out to make sure the fonts are where they should be. With the exception of some updating it appears all may be well.
    PS. Below is a note I was writing to Kurt (also assisting me) to try and detail what had happened. Added it in case it could be of any value to you
    Kurt,
    Thank you for response. following is series of events to my best recollection.
    I would typically not have been this stupid/ignorant but was doing this in a hurry with someone asking me questions...wasn't paying attn. to what I was doing
    • downloaded new fonts
    • opened downloaded fonts, clicked font icons to open and install them.
    • typed "fonts" in spotlight (with the intention of moving new fonts into font folder)The Spotlight results window revealed 5 or 6 font folders. I ignorantly started to try a clean up by installing all fonts into a single folder (not thinking about system fonts)
    Sometimes when you are moving a folder the window you moved it from will jump around..well this occurred and I mistakenly released the folder on the desk top. This caused a copy to be made. After some investigation I realized it was a copy of the required system fonts that were still located in the original "spotlight results" window.
    • I attempted to delete the copy..when I did an administrator password box appeared I entered the password and the result was both system font folders were deleted (the original & the desk top copy I erroneously made)
    • Now windows open but are blank with sometimes faded mini sized icons. If I click one of the mini icons i get a new blank window. I am unable to give any instruction, have total blank menus, dialog boxes, etc.
    I can open the some of the items that have icons in the apple dock at bottom of page in the

  • I dropped my iphone (not from a great height) and now it won't turn on however when I plug it in the white apple shows on my screen. My lock button has been broken for awhile so I can't even try switch it on!

    What can I do? I dropped my iphone (not from a great height) and now it won't turn on however when I plug it in the white apple shows on my screen. My lock button has been broken for awhile so I can't even try switch it on!

    Once you have a proven, working Charger... Charge the Device for a couple of hours. Then try to turn it on.
    If no joy...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    If the issue persists...
    Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • I have an 8 year old eMac G3. It will not start up. I need to erase it before putting it in recycling. Apple refuses to open the case and warns me that I will be shocked if I even try. They say no way to erase hard drive. They say use a hammer. Any ideas?

  • Does apple fix an ipod under warranty if the inside screen was slightly cracked even though you cant feel the crack because its on the inside.do they fix that????

    Does apple fix an ipod under warranty if the inside screen was slightly cracked even though you cant feel the crack because its on the inside.do they fix that????

    ONLY Apple could answer this.
    If they determine that the ipod is defective, then warranty will cover it.
    If they determine that it is damaged, then the warranty will not cover it.

    Hello!
    I recently just downloaded the 'Waze' app as a backup for my Garmin. I've read a few reviews that seem to rant and rave about how good the GPS app is. It is community driven and maps are constantly being updated by users. Plus it has a few other fun stuff in it (something similar to Gasbuddy where you can owe prices on the map). But like the person above me said, there is lots of useful free GPS apps in the App Store.
    Oh and I may be wrong but I remember reading an article about Google being slower about updating its maps system--ie no turn by turn voice, which many people have had complaints about.
    Happy Searching!
    Ps - if you switch I wouldn't go to Blackberry.

  • Have current Firefox on 3 computers. Get no response on all three even though different server involved. Firefox won't stay up long enough to try your fixes.

    "No response" occurs so frequently that Firefox is non-functioning. I have had to resort to using IE & Chrome. UGH! Typically, Firefox won't stay up long enough to try recommended fixes. Any suggestions?

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back soon.

  • Why is the backup encrypted when i didn't even check the box in itunes

    I downloaded the latest version of itunes, sync my iphone and then upgrade the software to ios 5.
    But when i try to restore my backups after the upgrade. It prompted for a password.
    My backup file states complete and encrypted when i didn't check the box for encryption.
    Any idea what is the default password for it?
    Has anyone encounter this situation before and any solutions available?

  • Why does my iPhone 5 take very grainy flash photographs in the dark will a hard reboot be safe to do to try to fix or is it a hardware issue?

    Why does my iPhone 5 take very grainy flash photographs in the dark will a hard reboot be safe to do to try to fix or is it a hardware issue?
    And By hard boot I mean holding the home and power button down at the same time for 10 seconds or whatever
    I see other people have these grainy flash photographs if you try to take a picture in darkness the picture comes out very dark and grainy I thought the software would ultimately fix this but it's been going on for over a year I usually take my photographs in daylight but I need this to be fixed
    If it is a hardware issue I hope Apple will replace my iPhone 5 because I was just waiting for one of the iOS updates to fix it I bought my phone in November 2012 its the iPhone 5
    Please help or advise if you can was this just a software or hardware issue I know Apple was aware of it but I was advised that iOS update would fix it but obviously not
    Is it safe to do a hard boot on my iPhone five by holding the power and home button at the same time for 10 or 20 seconds I saw someone said that fixed there's at least temporarily
    I'm typing this on my iPhone five right now why do the words go off to the left and right no matter if I hold the phone vertical or horizontal the words bleed off to left right so for me to proofread it I have to move my text left to right to proof read it
    Thank you

    The flash on a smartphone camera is tiny. It only lights up a very small area right in front of the camera. It won't light up the whole scene.
    Have you seen the size of the flash on a professional camera? Even they can't light a whole scene in the dark.
    Fact is, a smartphone camera is not capable of taking good photos in the dark, even with the flash.
    You'll need to buy and learn how to use a professional, dedicated SLR camera to be able to take good photos in the dark. It is not easy.
