Can apple fix a broken button on my ipod

I have a 4th Generation iPod touch that I have had for a little over 2 years now and the home button seems to be pushed in to far. I can still use the button but it is very difficult and I have to apply a lot of pressure. I was wondering if apple can repair this type of damage. Since this iPod is not very old, I would really like to refrain from having to buy a new one. Also, if apple can do this type of repair, I would like to know if I would have to go into an apple store for it to get fixed. The closest apple store is an hour away from where I live and I am a busy person and not sure when I could find time to personally deliver it. Could I possible mail to the apple store? However, I do live near a "Peach Mac" store but I am not sure if they do repairs. Thanks so much for your time and I'm looking forward to getting some answers.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for a 64 GB 4G and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.

    They will not fix it. What they do is replace rather then fix.
    After Apple has examined it, they will determine if it is covered by warranty or not. If it is not, you will have to pay for the replacement.

  • HT2188 How can I fix the home button on my iPod touch?

    I have a 4th generation iPod touch that is about almost 2 years old. I've never dropped it on a hard surface like concrete or hardwood floors, just a few times on my carpet. It's never been scratched, never had water damage or anything like that. It's in pretty good condition, and runs pretty smoothly, except my home button doesn't work!
    I know several people with the same iPod who have similar problems - their home button doesn't work. When I'm in an app, like the Music app, and I hit the home button to get back to my home screen, it doesn't work.
    I've looked it up on the internet - I've seen several videos on YouTube (like turning the iPod off, entering an original app like Weather or Notes and then holding the lock button down until the "slide to power off" button came up, and then holding the home button down until it went away to 'calibrate' the home button, and locking my iPod and then clicking the lock screen and home button at the same time - which worked for me a few times, but after like a day or two, the button stopped working) and I've also Googled it and heard that rubbing alcohol on a q-tip would clean any gunk out from underneath the home button. I've never tried the alcohol one out of fear that I'd really ruin the button.
    I've also read that there might be dust under there or gunk that should be cleaned by a professional...
    But my dad says that it's too tight of an area around the button for anything to get lodged under there. I am currently updating the iPod to iO5 or whatever the new update is to see if it makes any difference.
    I'm just trying this forum as a last result to see if there is anyone out there with a similar problem that has fixed it themselves to quell the problem permanently. If not, then I suppose I'll be forced to take it to the Apple Store and see if they can fix it.
    I did have the 1 year warranty, but alas, I did not start having these problems until recently.

    Can you or do yo have either an iCloud or iTunes backup of your iPod? The backup included apps data and photos/videos in your Camera Roll album.
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:        
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    I broke my iPod 5 screen last week, the whole screen is cracked.The front camera is kinda broken.The back of the iPod is pefectly fine and the home button is fine too. I got my iPod like a year and half ago, so the warrant is over. People said Apple doesnt repair devices, they exchange for it.I dont think u can exchange my iPod. I got my iPod from a Apple store. Can Apple fix my iPod?, how much will it cost? Respond ASAP. Or name some places to repair it?

    Really.  You cannot exchange a 32 gb for a 16 gb at all.
    Sorry.
    The Canada Proce happens to be $149.  You can look this up yourself.

  • The home button on my iPad has became faulty, it works sometimes although you have to press it really hard. Can Apple fix this for me?

    The home button on my iPad has became faulty, it works sometimes although you have to press it really hard. Can Apple fix this for me?

    They might be able to. If it's an iPad 2 then it is still within the warranty period, so as long as it's due to accidental damage it might be fixed/replaced free of charge. Have you tried contacting Apple ? I don't know what country you are in, and whether you are near an Apple store, but you could try looking on this page for your service options.
    Before you do that you could try a reset and see if it that helps : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons (assuming that it works) for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I have a Ipod Touch the 4th generation and i have a two year warranty plan, my Ipod screen is cracked and the middle button doesn't work to good , can apple fix it ?

    Can apple fix my Ipod ?

    probably not because it is cracked, mine started separating at the top for no reason, not one crack or scratch anywhere just separting and opening up, I mailed it in to apple and they sent it back saying because we opened it up that voided the warranty.  I sent it in because it opened up, duh, fought with them for a week on the phone, they sent me a coupon for a discount of a new ipod woo hoo, I will not by another apple product ever.

    Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
    The warranty will apply to the country of purchase. And if there is a problem needing repair you have to return it to the country of purchase.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th, Air
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
