Buying an iPod touch anywhere other than through Apple...

Does anyone have any thoughts (positive or negative) about buying an iPod touch through a 3rd party retailer such as a Wal-Mart, Staples, Best Buy, etc?
I really the thoughts and input.

I dont think there is to much of a difference except maybe a few days on return policy and the price may be a bit different depending on where you get it. I have owned 3 i-pods and have never bought any of them directly from apple. I have no problems with any of them. You will still have all the products features and your warranty from apple will still be exactly the same unless you purchase an extended warranty

  • I'm new to ipod touch, 4g and my question is how can i download a contact list other than through facebook etc.

    I'm new to ipod touch, 4g. My questions is how can I download a contact list other than through facebook or yahoo or gmail?

    You can sync the iPod's Contacts app with some other contact programs/mail accounts.
    Just where do you want to get/sync the contacts?

  • My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    I would try in oreder:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    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.
    - Restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • I am planning to buy an Ipod touch here in saudi but the facetime application is unenabled, if i bought here and bring it to other country, can i enabled the facetime?

    i am planning to buy an Ipod touch here in saudi but the facetime application is unenabled, if i bought here and bring it to other country (open country), can i enabled the facetime?

    The only way you're going to get facetime is if you purchase your device is a country that hasn't banned its use. However, I'm not sure if it'll even work if you do that. As in the program is disabled on the server level....for example I can bring my US device into Saudi but Facetime will not work until I get outside of the country's borders.
    Skype is a program that's often mentioned as a work around for that country's ban on Facetime. (I know it exists for iPad, not sure if there's an iPod version)

  • Can you give me some reasons about why I need to buy an iPod touch 5.Although I have the iPhone ,iPod nano, iPad ,MacBook pro,I think the iPod touch 5 is so attractive that I can't help buying it at once.If I have it,what I can do with it,can you tell me?

    All I can say is that I REALLY like my Touch 4th gen because I have all sorts of capabilities in a small form: e-mail, web browsing, news, weather, books, magazines, etc. etc.  Plus lots and lots of apps out there, including so many free ones.  I use the Cloud a lot so it's great to have everything sync'd to my MacBookPro (e-mail, Evernote, Pocket, etc.)
    It would be easier, though, to do some of this, especially magazines, on the iPad mini, but, again, I love the small size of the Touch. 
    As for the 5th gen instead of the 4th, the fifth has Siri and the 3D feature in maps, which are great.  And I'm sure it's a lot faster in iOS 6 than the 4th gen.  And cool colors! 
    Don't know if this helps . . .

  • To buy an iPod touch in the USA

    Hi,
    I may buy an iPod touch in the USA to use it in France, but I wonder, will I be able to update it in France?(if a new update is available). And by the way, what's about the warranty?
    Thank you very much.

    Good day, I know someone who purchased an iPod from the Apple Store in the US while on vacation then they needed to take it in to the Apple Store for warranty support and the Apple store in the UK said that the warranty is still covered even though it was purchased in the US.
    They said they only difference between the two models was that due to a law in Europe of the UK the volume limit was restricted and the max volume level was less than what the North American model has for the max volume level. Obviously this isn't that big of a deal so they replaced the iPod for him covered under the warranty.
    And yes you will be able to update it using iTunes just fine.
    Hope that helps, Cheers!

  • Can I sync ipod touch with more than one PC?

    Hi all
    I'll go and buy a ipod touch 4G tomorrow or Thursday down my Apple store.
    My problem is my home desktop PC that I normally use to sync music and apps is currently in pieces waiting for some new parts. So I'll use an old windows XP laptop to active the ipod touch when I get it.
    My question is if I active the ipod with the laptop, can I also sync it with my desktop PC later on?
    Or another way to ask the same question: is the ipod touch restricted to one computer or one itune account?
    Thanks for your help guys and girls.

    Thanks, one more question if you don't mind. If I activate the ipod through itune software installed on a remote hard drive and copy the itune folder from the hard drive to my PC later on. Do you still think the ipod which sync with contents on my PC?

  • Buying a Ipod touch

    Hi, i am wanting to buy an ipod touch which one would you reccomend and can you tell me a bit on how they are a like to live with

    I have the 32GB iPod Touch and I absolutely love it. I have not experienced any of the bugs that some have written about on these boards. Of course, you should consider a number of things before investing in this incredible device.
    First, of course, is price: the family of Touches is very expensive when you consider the limited amount of memory that you get in each model, compared to other iPod models. If you are looking for the most bang for your buck, then look to the iPod Classic because you can get an incredibe amount of storage on those devices and you can still listen to your favorite music and watch vids, etc.on a familiar looking iPod.
    Of course, if you want the Touch for its Wi-Fi abilities, please note (as others have said above), you must have access to Wi-Fi connections and/or hot spots where you can get online for free. I must admit, I love the ability to access the internet and my emails from anywhere (provided that I have access to a Wi-Fi connection). If you do not have access to Wi-Fi and/or hot spots, then this may be an impractical investment for you.
    Lastly, how much data do you intend to store on your device, being ever mindful that your library of music, pics and videos may expand in the future. For me, the 8 GB and 16 GB Touches were simply impractical because I didn't want to spend all that money on a very cool device if I couldn't store all of my data on it. When the 32GB version came out, I jumped all over it because that fits my needs just fine. The price is pretty steep, but if you can fit it into your budget and the Touch really suits your needs, then I absolutely recommend it.
    If you have owned any iPod in the past, the biggest adjustment is getting used to accessing your music without the familiar click wheel. That felt weird for a couple of days, but I quickly adjusted and became accustomed to the Touch's interface. It really, truly is an incredible machine! I wholeheartedly endorse getting one if you can make it work for your needs and your budget.
    Read these boards for more input on the iPod Touch and its pros and cons. I found these boards very helpful in making my decision. Good luck!

  • Should I buy the iPod touch 5g if I already have an iPod touch 2g and an ipad 2

    Should I buy and iPod touch 5g when I already have an iPod touch 2g and an ipad 2

    Well it is up to you. But there is some changes between the ipod 4 and ipod 5. I own both ipods and I would recommend getting the ipod5. These are some of the differences.
    The ipod 5 has flash. It is very helpful especially if you like taking pictures at night.
    The ipod 5 has siri. I personally like Siri, but if you don't you could always go to Siri settings and turn it off. Siri can be  convinient in some cases. If you want to know the time in China or if you want to know the temperature in Hawaii.
    Also it works much faster!
    A ipod 5 comes in color
    It is similar to a iphone and the best part f it is that it is cheaper than a iphone!

    You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right?  If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
