Buying An ipod From Ebay

I am considering buying a "Brand New, Still Sealed 60GB Video ipod in Black" from ebay.co.uk. In the item desciption it states that this ipod has been imported from France.
2 questions:
1. Are all ipod's universal? i.e. would this ipod function correctly in the UK with UK ipod accessories such as the AV Cable and Universal Dock even though I would have bought it from France?
2. Would this ipod still be covered by Apple's 1 year warranty even though I had bought it from ebay?
Hope someone can help me as it would be much appreciated.
Happy Christmas to you all!!!!!!!!

1. Yes, all iPods and accessories are "universal" and will work on any computer anywhere provided that computer meets the specified requirements.
2. Yes. Even if another person had previously registered the iPod themselves, the iPod warranty is transferred to the person buying it. If it's still sealed in the box, chances are it's never been registered and you would be able to do that on the initial set up procedure.

Buying an iPod from Thailand

I'm an American currently teaching in English in Thailand. My iPod just broke & I am looking into buying an iPod Nano from the iPod Online Store in Thailand. Are there any differences in the model if I buy the iPod from Thailand? I just want to make sure that it will be the same product with the same cords/features/language as if I were to buy it in the United States. Thank you.

Whats the difference in buying an ipod from apple retail store rather than buying it from Walmart?

Whats the difference in buying an iPod touch from apple retail store rather than from walmart

Some retailers, such as Best Buy, offer a much more robust warranty - even covering accidental damage. Or other retailers may offer bonuses - such as free case or store gift card as an incentive. The orginal Apple 1 year warranty against manufacturer's defects applies no matter where it's sold.
I bought both my touch and my iPad from Best Buy and have no issues with it. (the closest apple store was over an hour away)
I think the only warning I'd offer is for a person buying a used device second hand is to make sure it's from a reputable retailer and that hte device is unlocked and ready to use.

I want to buy AppleCare Protection from Ebay, model #?

I want to save money and buy my protection plan through Ebay, but I see where they have model numbers for the protection plan, I have a brand new Imac so does it matter what AppleCare Protection Plan I buy from Ebay............... Do certain model number protection plans only give you the extended warranty on certain Imacs? Thanks for any help!

I wouldn't fool around with Applecare from eBay. (I saved a lot of money buying it from eBay, and it worked out. But it isn't worth the anxiety.) Doesn't look like much of a saving from the list price right now and it might be risky. AFAIK, iMac Applecare is all the same. Apple may be tightening up on eBay Applecare.
Check these out. They may be beating any of the top rated sellers' prices on eBay.

If I buy an iPod from USA will it still work in the UK?

If I buy an iPod touch in USA will it work in the UK?

As stedman says, it will work. A note of caution though.
First of all, the price you see listed in the Amercan online store and in the store itself does not include sales tax, which will be added when you pay for it. (Prices shown in the UK physical and online stores are inclusive of VAT {sales tax} and we pay the price shown.)
Then, when you bring it back into the UK, you must declare it at customs and it will be subject to import duty. I have no idea how much that is. If you manage to buy one online, (and that won't be from an Apple source, because they won't allow you to do so) then once again, when it comes into the UK it will be subject to taxation. In fact, not only you will find that it import duty is added, but the shipper will add their chanrge as well, since they (the shipper) will be collecting the tax from you to hand on to the government.
So if you are intending to buy in the USA in order to save money, be warned that you probably won't.

Safe to buy AC adaptors from Ebay for Satellite M105-s3041?

Hi,
I have just lost my ac-power adaptor for my Satellite M105-s3041 computer.
I want to get a replacement but I bought my computer in the US and am not sure a replacement would have a UK 3-pin plug.
Also similarly to another guy on here I wonder if it is safe to byuy adaptors from e-bay as I don't want to shell out so much money for a replacement adaptor.
Do any of you have experience with 2-bay replacements?
I also don't know which adaptor would be correct for my model,
Hope you can help,
Chris

For me it looks like the Satellite M105-s3041 is a US notebook series.
I checked the Toshiba US page and found this page:
[Satellite M105-S3041 Detailed Product Specification|http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_outFrm.jsp?moid=1364114&rpn=PSMA0U&ct=DS&soi d=1420312]
You need a 15V - 5A AC Adapter with 50-60Hz frequency (Universal) input.
The PA2521U-2ACA Toshiba 90W Global AC Adapter would be compatible also...
You are asking if its safe to use an AC adaptor from Ebay;
Well, usually you should use the compatible and supported parts.
But I think you could also use another part but its important that an 3rd party AC adaptor would support the same specification like the Toshiba AC adaptor.
Then everything should work ok

Most likely, but there is only one way to find out . Note that you will probably get a refurbished iPod not a brand new one.

Used IPod device from EBAY

I just purchased an IPod from EBAY. The previous user didn't delete anything. I want to sync the device with my own music and keep some of the previous users tunes, but my computer will not recongize the device at all. Now what?

It's not good news I'm afraid. The folder and ! is never a good sign.
Have a look here.
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation point after disconnecting.
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation point when you turn it on.
Also, there is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod and folder ! icon.
The Sad iPod/folder ! icon.
If it were me, I would be contacting the seller about this issue.

Buy Apple product from another store

If I buy Ipod touch 5 from Best buy, can i bring it in to the nearest Apple store for a "personal setup'?

I'm not sure why you would think it's reasonable to ask one company to help you with something you bought from another company, especially when you could buy it from the second company to begin with. Not only that, but what "personal setup" do you require that you cannot do for yourself?
After all,
Install iTunes onto your compter (download iTunes from the Apple site)
Import your music into your iTunes Library
Unpack the iPod
Plug the iPod into your computer and wait for iTunes to see it and perform a Sync.
Disconnect the iPod.
Enjoy
If you have specific issues with importing your music (for example), then this forum is the place to ask, not an Apple store.
If you're that desperate, and have no friends who could help you, then buy the iPod from an Apple store. You will of course, have to take your computer into the store for this to be of any use to you. And I'd book an appointment with the store first, because if you simply turn up while they're busy...

If I buy an ipod off of ebay, can i also buy long warrenty from apple?

I'm not sure if anyone knows the answer to this, but it seems hard to get answers from apple...
If I buy an ipod off of ebay, can i also buy an extended warrenty from apple?

It depends on when the iPod was originally purchased by its original owner.
The Applecare Protection Plan can only be purchased within 1 year of the original purchase date.
Since you are posting in the 5th Gen iPod forum... I'll assume you are looking to purchase a 5th Gen ipod.
If so, then you can buy the APP, since all 5th Gen iPods would be less than 1 year old at this point. They were released late 2005.

Ipod mini from ebay. not showing up on usb, no default disc plz help!

hi there,
i recently bought an ipod mini from ebay.com. The ipod is in good running condition and works great with the songs i have on it that i got from my friends computer. The only problem is that i cannot get songs from my computer to my ipod mini because it doesnt show up when i connect it to my usb port. I never installed the disc that comes with original ipod's because mine did not come with one since i got it off ebay. Do i have to have the installation disc that comes with ipod's that you buy from the store installed on my computer to be able to use my ipod mini?? Or is there something i can download from the net for windows that would solve my problem? Pleas help!
-Thanks,
Jimmy

I am amazed, that after reinstalling iTunes 9.2.1 on MacOS 10.4 after removing the kernel extension and the package receipt everything works as expected.
before reinstalling, the iPod touch neither did load, nor showed up in System Profiler.
So – problem solved, back to normal …
many thanks
Michael

I have an ipod touch.But i want to buy a ipod shuffel.Can i sync my music from the touch to the shuffel and if so how?

I have a ipod touch but want to buy a ipod shuffel. can i sync my music from the touch to the shuffel and how? but if i cant how do i buy music from itunes on the shuffel?

You can't go directly from the Touch to the Shuffle, but if you can get the music into your itunes library on your computer, you'll be able to sync that music to the Shuffle no problem. Follow the steps in this article to transfer any music you've purchased on your iPod into the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848

You can redownload most iTunes purchases directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise you will have to sync from your iTunes library.
