Battery/iPod replacement help!

I have had my 4th generation ipod nano for over two years. Recently, my iPod had gotten to the point where it won't do anything (it's completely dead) unless it's hooked up to a continuous power source. If i take my ipod to a local apple store, can they look at my ipod there and do the ipod "replacement program" (i guess you could say) in-store? Or would i need to mail my ipod in with the $59??

You gotta figure in a few years, there will be 16g Nano's, making a 2 or 4g obsolete.
That said, if you can buy a $20 replacement battery, and are handy with a soldering iron, why not replace the Nano battery? I just replaced the battery in my Gen 1 Mini. $24, and I should get almost double the battery life. Took me 10 minutes.

  • IPod Touch 4g Battery Problem Plz Help

    I will plug my iPod touch in before I go to bed each night and it has been working fine since Ive had it shipped to me about a year now. But the past two nights I plug it in and in the morning it says 20% battery remaining. When I plug it in it says it's charging with the battery charging icon and everything. So I tried plugging it in to my computer USB and it worked and got past 20% but I have never seen it at 100% ever since two nights ago. My other iOS devices like my iPad charge perfectly fine on the same wall charger I use with my iPod. Is something wrong with my iPod touch 4th generation battery! Plz help Thanks for reading.

    Sorry to hear that.
    If you set it up "as new" without using the latest backup afterwards and the battery life did not get better, you'll have to get it serviced or make an appointment at your next Apple Store. Maybe your battery is damaged.

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer

  • All of my playlists made on my Ipod touch 3rd gen keep disappearing when I sync it to itunes. Drivng me crazy. All software up to date on both itunes and Ipod. Help please.

    I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.

    That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.

    A liquid damaged iPhone 4 can be replaced by Apple for $149.
    By the way... and electrical short can be dangerous, creating a fire or explosion hazard. You can see the short that's affecting the flash... It's the short you may not see that's affecting the battery and/or charging circuitry that's the problem.
    Get it replaced.

  • Is it possible to have an ipod replaced if it doesn't work anymore?

    my mom gave my boyfriend her old ipod, but a long time after that, the ipod didn't work anymore. it might have to do with the internal battery or it might have to be replaced. is it possible to have an ipod replaced after it is broken? can an internal battery be fixed?

    It comes with a one year warranty, during that year you can choose to buy the applecare extended warranty.
    If outside that timeframe then see

    Take it into Apple and explain the situation and see what they can do

  • Fedex delivery iPod replacement

    I've seen other posts by people complaining about this but I haven't found one with a solution so I'm starting a new discussion. FedEx tried to deliver my ipod replacement three times during the holidays while I was out of town. I called FedEx and they said they would try a fourth time but never did. Now FedEx says that it is pending recipient directions. Has anyone solved this problem and been able to change the delivery address? Who did you contact at Apple and/or FedEx? Thank you!

    FedEx has a bad reputation delivering to residential addresses, at least in my area.  They do not require a signature on delivery, unless the sender requests one.  Apple usually does, which means that if no one is home, then FedEx won't just leave the package on your doorstep.  Signature requirement is a good thing since FedEx normally doesn't require one and the reason FedEx has a bad reputation in my area is that they will just leave the package on the doorstep, not caring if it gets stolen, and also not helping you if it's delivered to the wrong address.  (e.g.: "Yes, the driver said he delivered to the correct address."  But my neighbor actually walked half a block to deliver the package to me.  And since there's no signature "There's nothing more (that FedEx) can do for you, sir." )
    When this happened to my cousin a few days ago, FexEx left a notice on the door with delivery options, one of which was to call the delivery office and pick up there.  I do not know if that option is available in all areas.
    All I can suggest is you call FedEx's and Apple's main customer support numbers and see what can be done.  Have your order number and tracking numbers and whatever info available.  If the status is that FedEx is waiting for instructions from the sender (Apple) because of an undeliverable address (i.e.: no one home) then you're probably going to have to tell Apple where to deliver to.  Because of the poor delivery by FedEx to my area, if the sender forces me to use FedEx, I have my stuff sent to my work address, since the receptionist is willing to sign for me.

  • The FIOS O.N.T. Battery Backup Replacement Problem

    I ordered the suggested replacement for the BBU the GT12080HG and turns out our battery in the ONT has an extra set of wires out the top connecting above the battery; the replacement does not have these. The number of our battery is the PX12072 that the 12080 replaces but I'm wondering about that extra set of wires. Any help appreciated.

    That is great to hear/read, but can you provide more details so that if other users have the same issue they can get it fixed.
    Please and thanks.

  • How can I get an ipod replacement dock on my Ilive it188b or have it repaired?

    The ipod dock on my Ilive  it188b stopped working and doesn't play or charge my compatible ipod which works on my other stereo. Everything else on the stereo works fine. I contacted the company and they would not sell me a replacement dock because of their agreement with Apple. How can I get an ipod replacement dock on my Ilive it188b or have it repaired? I have checked locally, and the electronics hospital reapair place will not work on it. Is my only option to try and sell it on craigslist or ebay?

  • MY 8 month old might have corrupted my ipod.  HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My 8 month old son corroded my USB cable by chewing on the ipod connector. Not realizing this, I come in, plug in my ipod, and get an error that the USB cable is corrupted. I unplug ipod and look at the cable. The part that goes into the ipod is green and crusty...definitely corroded. SO, i go buy a new cable: Dynex dock cable from Best Buy. Just plugged it in, and nothing happened, except my pc is charging my ipod. But no communication from the computer to the ipod. Nothing in windows, or itunes. My ipod still works fine in any other playback dock, it just doesn't allow data transfers from pc to ipod. HELP!!! Is my ipod f'd???????

    If you dare you could try cleaning the connector on the ipod - I would try some denatured alcohol on a tiny bit of clean cloth over the end of a really small screwdriver or knife. Carefully wipe both sides of the male connector blade that you can see in the connector port.
    You could also try simply plugging /unplugging the cable many times - the wiping action may clean the crud off. Blow on the connectors or use compressed air while you are doing it for good measure.
    If you are near an Apple store you could take it to them and have them try it with an Apple brand cable - that may have a better chance of making good contact.
    Good luck. I knew baby spit was nasty but I didn't think it was actually corrosive!
