Can i get my cracked ipod screen replaced for free?

I don't have Apple care, but i read on apple's site that if you come in for a repair within a year of purchase that they'll give you the service charge for free. Is that correct? obviously i would pay for the screen still, but if i could save 150 bucks for service charge that would be nice. I've had it 5 months.

No, that is not correct, and I doubt very much you saw that anywhere on Apple's site. You must have misread. The warranty does not cover accidental damage.
As to repair, Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair".
Regards.

  • Can i get a new ipod touch battery for free?

    My battery life is horrible and i dont know why... i let it die and charge everynight....... i hope that makes sense to you. Is there a way i could figure out if my ipod is being defectiveor not..thanks.

    If the iPod is within warranty, not abused and defective, including the battery, then Apple will exchange your iPod with a refurbished one.  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to find out.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.  You can do the exchange at an Apple store.

    Is it possible to get my cracked screen replaced for free? Please help me on this one. I am new to apple products.
    Thanks

    A broken screen is not covered by the warranty. However, sometime the Genius at an Appe store will exchange it at no cost. Otherwise the exchange cost is:

  • Can I get my screen replaced for free?

    At a New Years Eve party I was riding my little cousins Green Machine bike thing and I turned a corner and I had my iphone 4 in my front pocket and I turned a corner and it slipped out and hit the concrete ground. It has a shatter place at the top left corner on the white part on the front then it continues down to the home button,and across the top of the screen. I didn't have my Otter Box on it but I put it on after that happened. It covers up the shatter on my screen but thats pretty much it. I've been seeing people on here that has been getting there's replaced for free, so I was wondering if I could get my screen replaced. I don't have the Apple Care thing but I know that I have the Apples Warranty until December 16, 2012. Does anyone know if that covers getting my screen replaced for free or anything? I reallly need a new screen, I just don't want to spend a fortune on it! Please help!!!

    Warranty does not cover accidental damage and I  would rate your chance of a free replacement as close to zero
    Nobody can stop  you asking but don't be offended when they refuse
    You will likely be charged for a refurb replacement which in US as an example is $199 for a 4S and $149 for all other iPhones

  • HT4528 Can I get a screen replacement for free if i'm still under warranty?

    Can I get a screen replacement for free if i'm still under warranty?

    Not if it was caused by accidental damage. You can make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and see if they do screen replacement. If they do it is $149, if they can't it is $229 for an out-of-warranty replacement. If you bought AppleCare + it is a $49 deductible.

  • Dropped my iphone 5. Can I get the screen replaced for free?

    Dropped my iphone 5. This is the replacement phone Apple gave me a month ago - the camera didn't work properly so they gave me this one. They told me it has a 90 day guarantee. Can I get the screen replaced for free?

    That is not a 90 day guaranrtee. It is a 90 warranty which only covers workmenship and materials not damage. So no. You are going to have to pay to get it replaced.

    Only on a new Mac.
    In simple terms, you either need:
    A qualifying 10.7 Mac purchased on June 11, 2012 to 10.8's release date, then you have 30 days afterwards to upgrade to 10.8 for free.
    Bought a qualifying new 10.7 Mac on or after the 10.8 release date which you then have 30 days to request a free 10.8 upgrade.

  • Can you get your cracked iPod Touch screen repaired if you colored the top of it with highlighters? If you can't, how do I remove the highlighter?

    I cracked my iPod Touch screen at the top where the front camera is and colored the cracks in with highlighter. I want to know if I can still get it repaired even if its colored in? If I can't, how do I remove the highlighter?

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.

  • HT1689 Purchased iBooks from iBookstore, can I get a copy from Kendle bookstore for free

    If I bought a from the iBookstore can I get a copy from the Kindle bookstore  if they are identical books but do not work on both apps

    Lol I get it know kinda, just was under the impression that the benefit of the digital book is that I can use it on multiple applications regardless of which company I buy the digital book from, because I've books only has limited fonts and text colors and stuff I think it would be nice to go to an app that has more tools, thanks for all the help guys you guys just another question  you guys know if you can change the font colors in the new iBooks, I know I did get the background and everything but you know it would be nice to have read bond or green font is easier to read read or something like that.

  • How can i get imovie on my macbook pro for free?

    i have a brand new macbook pro and i don't have ilife or iwork installed, does anyone know how i could get it without purchasing it?
    thanks

    Hello purple23
    When you open the Mac App Store for the first time, it should ask you to except the purchase for the bundled applications. For iwork, you will need to make sure that you are running OS X Mavericks and as long as your Mac was purchased after October 22, you should be able to download those apps for free.
    Alerts may occur when accepting bundled applications from the Mac App Store
