AppleCare for iPod Classic?

I'm in the market for an 80 gig iPod Classic and was wondering if it's worth the $60 for AppleCare. I have it on my MacBook Pro and it's come in handy for battery issues but am wondering if anyone can say if it's worth it for the iPod.
Thanks!

If you have minimum experience with troubleshooting an iPod, it very well may be worth it. The one thing you have to remember is that you only have the one free phone call for help with troubleshooting, after that you have to pay. I bought a 160GB right after the holidays & didn't buy AppleCare as I felt pretty comfortable due to helping on these boards for over 3 years that I could handle most common problems that the iPod might have.
AC did save my socks on my 2 1/2 year old G5 as I lost the HD about a month ago which was replaced at no charge with AC.

  • Question about buying Applecare for iPod online

    When I purchased my iMac I purchased Applecare from my dealer, getting the little red box to bring home, and later I registered the Applecare online successfully.
    Now I wish to purchase Applecare for a 5G iPod that is nearing it's 1 year anniversary. Because of timing I thought I would go to the online Apple store and purchase it that way. Proceeding through the steps, however, it looks like I can just order it online and have the little red box shipped to my home (for later online registration.) That worries me in case the package doesn't arrive in time to meet the requirement to do this within the first year.
    Is there no way to purchase online, pay with credit card, and be sent to the online registration area immediately, without waiting for the little red box? (My dealer is out of Applecare boxes at the moment.)

    Thanks again, Chuck
    I am still having trouble with this. First, I am in Canada so go to the equivalent Canadian Apple web site and it is laid out slightly differently.
    So I followed your steps to see how the US site differed and didn't see a "sale" graphic but instead a "save" graphic. (I assumed that's the one you meant) so I followed that path and indeed did find the Applecare for iPod link. I started to go through the steps there, but as far as I was going it looked exactly like what happens on my Canadian site where it ends up asking me for the shipping address and my Visa number and I get to chance to register directly.
    But the local dealer that I use, has some coming in this week and will hold one for me, which should be in time. If something happens to delay that shipment there are other dealers in town I can try as well.

  • Applications for ipod classic

    With the advent of ipod touch and ipad the applications and games are available only for these versions. Will itunes please consider selling applications and games for ipod classic users as well. I do not intend on upgrading to the other models for a while and wish I could still get applications for my ipod. Thank you for your consideration.

    There are apps! In iTunes, on the App Store heading, click the little down arrow for the drop down menu. Click on iPod Click Wheel Games.

  • Games for Ipod classic

    Hello, Anybody knows why there isn´t games for Ipod classic on itunes? last year I purchase Pacman game and now I don't find a link anymore.
    thanks

    I can never find them through the iTunes store in iTunes. But what I do is google "ipod classic games" and usually the first link is an Apple page, that will link your iTunes to the Classic games store. It's weird, but it's the only way I've found to get in. Now, if these games weren't all $4.99 I might actually get one or two. It's pretty criminal that games for the older-school iPod are 5 bucks, while the Touch has better games, some for $.99 and others for free.
    Apple should wise up and start discounting the Classic games. They'd make a killing.

  • Applecare for ipod touch

    worth getting an applecare for ipod touch?
    can i still use an unopened/unregistered Applecare for ipod (orange box) for the ipod touch?
    thanks a lot

    I disagree with Jordan. I think AppleCare well worth the cost. If the battery dies during the second year you own the iPod, the cost of replacing the battery out of warranty would more than cover the cost of AppleCare which covers the battery in iPods. AppleCare also provides you two full years of phone support should you have a question (the standard warranty provides 90 days of free support). Not to mention the cost of any other repairs (even if the warranty still applies, after 180 days you have to pay shipping if you have to send in your iPod, which you don't if you have AppleCare). So to my mind, it's cheap peace of mind.
