Apple recycling program

does that program they offer apply to the ipod touch?
because i have an old ipod mini lying around thought id put it towards that and get a %10 discount, does any one know if it matters if the ipod is broken?

hey!
The Apple Recycling Program was not iPod specific.It was merely Apple encouraging people to not throw away an Electrical device which contained batteries,LCD screens and other possible pollutants which are environmentally unfriendly if disposed of incorrectly.
The scheme was still running before the Touch so I can't see why they would not give you the 10% discount.
Cheers,
John

Restore old PowerBook G4 before/for Apple Recycle Program.

I have an old PowerBook G4 I need to send to Apple for its recycling program. But it's still got all of my stuff inside it I've just transferred it to my new MacBook. I need to wipe everything out before I can send it like erase the disk and restore its orginal settings. I know I should own the Lion dvd to be able to do this BUT thing is I have NO cd/dvd in the box. There's everything else as I purchased my MacBook in an Apple Store BUT there is NO such thing as a cd/dvd. Can I do the process in some other way or am I forced to bring the old computer to an Apple Store? Thank you.

You can hook up your Powerbook in target disk mode to your MacBook Pro, and erase the hard drive from there. You'll need a firewire cable to attach the two systems. Boot the Powerbook while holding the T key down. A firewire symbol will be moving around the screen, hook up the firewire cable between the two system, and your Powerbook will now appear as another disk drive to your MBP. Bring up Disk Utility on the MBP and erase the Powerbook hard drive, recommend a secure erase which writes zero's to the hard drive. If it's going to be recycled, I don't know why you need do anything else but clear the hard drive.

Recycle program

Hey apple users! This is my situation, I live outside US and in my country there are no apple authorised sellers. I´m planning to visit your lovely country on january-february 2014. My questions are because i have an ipod touch, an ipod shuffle, an ipod classic and a macbook pro 13´ (all working perfectly fine). How can get into the recycling progrmam? i`ve been reading but I cannot figure out the things I should do. Do I have to take all my apple products to an apple store and the staff will guide me? I hope I can get some discount on a new macbook! Thank you very much!

For the MacBook Pro:
http://www.apple.com/recycling/gift-card/
For the iPods see:
Apple - Recycling Program for iPod and Mobile Phones
You only get a 10% discount if you purchase a new iPod. The 10% apple if you turn in one or more iPods., not 10% for each turned-in iPod.

Apple's iPod recycling program apply to iPhone

My 4th generation iPod finally died on me and I'm thinking of using this as my excuse to replace it with an iPhone. I'm wondering if the iPod recycling program (http://www.apple.com/environment/recycling/), w/ it's 10% rebate on the purchase of a new iPod, might apply to an iPhone purchase...?

The words you quoted in your intial post
"Bring your old iPod to an Apple Retail Store and receive a 10 percent discount on the purchase of a new iPod.* "
sat it all. Turn in an old iPod (except Shuffle) and get a discount on a new iPod.

Apple's iPhone Recycle Program

If I take advantage of Apple's recycle program and exchange my iPhone 4 for an Apple Store gift card, can I then use that card towards a new iPhone in the same transaction (covering any additional cost of course)?

You can use the card to purchase a new iPhone but it will be a separate transaction.

Apple Reuse and Recycling Program

I'm not sure where this should live. Its not a question more of a warning.
I recently took advantage of the Apple Reuse and Recycle Program in the UK to recycle three iPhones and obtain some vouchers in return. The Apple Partner for this service in the UK is 'BrightStar'. I used the on-line website and within days the return packs from BrightStar arrived. Enclosed was a flatpack box and a returns label. I packaged up the iPhones as instructed by BrightStar's own documentation, affixed the postage label and took the three packets to the Post Office, to be sure I obtained a 'Certificate of Posting' from the clerk.
Within a couple of days, emails started to arrive saying that the iPhones had been received by BrightStar, however only for two and not three. A day passed and more emails arrived with the Money off Vouchers for the two iPhones but not the third. I left it a day and contacted them via email and received the reply to say that they had not received the third iPhone. Ok.. its got lost.
So I then ask BrightStar, what now happens? Did they have insurance to cover the loss in the postage that they had arranged? No.. they don't pay for any kind of insurance in the postage that they themselves arrange. BrightStar then informed me that it is up to the customer to take out extra insurance or arrange 'Special Delivery' when they take the packages to the Post Office. However, this is not stated in the packaging instructions. So foolishly I have assumed that their pre-paid postage included insurance for the items.
So no iPhone, no voucher . I know its not Apples fault but what really annoys me is the attitude of BrightStar, their Recycling Partner, basically washing their hands of the whole affair, even though they had arranged all of the postage and packaging. Apple really do need to have a word with these people, I expect Apples Partners to be of the same standard as the Apple Organisation.
So people be warned. If you use BrightStar's service make sure you insure your package when you take your pre-paid packet to the Post Office, otherwise if it gets lost, you like me will be out of pocket.
I don't know who to take this up with within Apple, I can find any kind of contact for this kind of issue.

You might try contacting the Customer Support folks and see if they can give you a number for customer relations: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201232
In the US, the user has the option of taking the devices to an Apple store where the transaction is handled by the Apple staff, sounds like a significantly better option. But, thanks for the warning about buyer-beware - the need to protect yourself anytime a valuable device is sent through the post or any shipping organization.

Will apple credit to my account gift card for recycling program

will apple credit to my account gift card for recycling program

If you mean the program Apple runs with partner companies to send in some computers and iOS devices, you will get an Apple Store gift card for the value. I don't know what you mean by "credit to your account", but this program has nothing to do with the iTunes Store. Apple explains the program, at least as it's constitued in the US, here:

If that doesn't answer your question, please post back and clarify.

Do not use Recycling Program - sell an old phone yourself

This program is absolutely a scam. I wish I'd done my due diligence and read this board before I sent my phone in. I had an iPhone 4s and I just upgraded my phone - only because they had a promotion in March to upgrade to the 5c for free. Otherwise, my 4s 16GB phone worked just fine. The phone had been kept in a case with a screen cover the entire time I owned it. It was pristine. So I logged on and got an estimate for 200.00. I figured that anywhere between 100 and 200 dollars would be a fair price for a phone in such good condition. So when I received and activated my new iPhone 5c, I backed up all of the 5GB of apps and data on my 4s, then I removed find my iPhone, and reset the phone to the factory settings. "Hello" was streaming across the screen, just like the phone was brand new.
A few days later I received the envelope to return the phone to Verizon. Yesterday I logged on to see the status and it read "phone will not power up". That is an absolute lie, unless Verizon did something to damage the phone. The phone was in perfect working condition when I sent it to them. I called customer service. I got bumped from person to person. Finally I asked for a supervisor. The gal that came on the phone "Courtney", was rude and not very helpful. She did say that she was escalating my complaint. When I asked her who her supervisor was, she said, "I don't have one". I asked who do you report to? Her reply was "No one." I said, you are not the CEO, you have a boss, what is their name and contact information? She refused to give it to me and then put me on hold - for almost 10 minutes. Another lady who was nice but not helpful, came on the line and claimed to be her supervisor. She also claimed that someone from customer service would be contacting me. Nothing.
Today I get my voucher for 36.00. That is a completely unfair amount for a 16GB iPhone 4s that was in perfect working condition. Obviously after reading all of these posts, the standard Verizon response is "The phone will not power up". Because of Verizon's lack of customer service, unwillingness to discuss the matter, and general lack of cooperation from their recycling program department - this seems like a major scam to screw people over.
We have been loyal Verizon customers since their first merger with GTE. We spend quite a bit with this company on domestic and international service. After major customer service problems earlier this year, I almost left. When I asked them to deactivate our account they suddenly became super customer service oriented. Now that I've upgraded one of our phones and we are in a contract, they are back to their old lack of customer care. Shame on me for getting sucked back in. I have no problem paying the fee to break our contract, and I am currently shopping other wireless providers.
Regarding their recycling program - I have filed a complaint with the BBB, and as others have done, I will start investigating class action. It seems that there are many of us in the same boat.

Wow...amazed that I wasn't the only one cause I thought it was a fluke that Verizon failed to follow through on the valued $200/each for two phones I sent in to recycle. BOTH phones were taken to an authorized dealer I've worked with for years. The manager there prepared BOTH of my phones to be sent in to recycling program and were valued at $200 each. I got an email saying one was $200...the other was $36. That one for $36 was in perfect condition. I called and was told the "FIND MY iPHONE" had not been deactivated. Interesting since I watched the manager prepare BOTH phones the same way before I mailed them. I've been told by TWO Verizon employees the same thing happened to them and there was such a thing as escalation. I escalated the request to be reviewed AFTER contacting Apple to be assured my phone was able to be used by them. I escalated it twice and was sent an email saying they would not give me the money nor would they return my phone (as I requested) so that I could sell it for what it was worth. You can not talk to a manager about these situations as they hide behind their computer screen and send emails to tell you they wont back up their word to give you what they agreed...and they wont back up their manager/ representative who prepared the phone...and they wont honor YEARS of being a faithful customer. Instead I feel I was lied to and taken advantage of....all for $136 in Verizon's pocket. I will be seriously considering changing carriers after this escapade...especially now that I'm seeing that this is an ongoing issue (that even employees told me they encountered). Unfortunate that good quality customer service has been ditched by Verizon Wireless...I thought they had more integrity than that. I would like to see a refund of $136 which is duly owed to me or my phone to be sent back in the same great condition so that I can get what its worth for it.

IPhone Reuse/Recycle program.

If you take your iPhone into an Apple retail store for the reuse/recycle program, do you get an Apple Store gift card in store, or do they just go through the process of sending it in for you and you still go through the same waiting process? Just wondering if it is worth it to take it into the store, or if I should just send it in myself.

Some Apple stores do on-site credit. Others do not. You'll need to find out from the local store what their specific programs are.

Recycling program

If I recycle my ipod in an Apple retail store, would I be able to use the 10% off online?

Probably no recycling program...however...
I was curious as to if the iPhones were still selling as well on eBay as they had been. I went on this morning and watched 4 different auctions, all for the used 8 gb iPhones that were NOT hacked or jailbroken and the final prices were: $275.52, $301.00, $312.25 and $320.00.
I didn't research any 4 gb, sorry. But it looks like people are still getting a really good price for the 8s. However, I would get them listed ASAP. Right now, not everyone is aware of the new version about to be released and that may be the reason for the prices not dropping on eBay.
Yeah, it's maybe not so nice to sell them to these people, when in a week or 2, the commerical for the new version will be on TV every commercial break, but if you want to make your money back, there's your chance!

Is there any recycling program for mac book batteries?

Is there a recycling program for the mac book batteries??

I believe that Apple will take them for you, but there are a number of other places that will recycle batteries no matter the source. Staples, for example... I just recently took them a box of 4 laptop computers, with batteries, one of them a smashed-up MacBook Pro (), and it was very easy. They recycle not just the batteries but the whole computer too. Call around to local office supply businesses and see who will take them.

Need clarification on the Recycling Program

Hi everyone, I just need some clarification on the iPod Recycling Program, as I have never done it before. I'm want to use the Recycling Program to get a discount on the iPod Touch 5g. Now my question is, and it's probably a stupid question, but if I bring in my four older iPods I have laying around does Apple give me a %10 discount on EACH of them, adding up to %40?

The first iPod had the firewire port on the top & the scroll wheel actually moved.
I guess my first iPod was a 3rd Generation:
