Can i just have apple replace the earphone jack on my ipod classic 160gb; nothing else?

I really don't want to spend $150 on replacing a 10-20 dollar part. I just want them to replace the part, nothing else.

Apple doesn't actually repair iPod, but does an out of warranty exchange of it for a refurbished model of the same generation and capacity.
So if you want just the headphone jack fixed, you'll need to find a third party iPod repair service. Google "iPod headphone jack repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

  • My mac mini hard drive is failing. I am no longer under warranty. Do you know how much it cost to have Apple replace the hard drive? or How I can replace it myself?

    You can do it yourself. I did on my 2009 Mini

  • Will Apple replace the headphone jack?

    The headphone jack on my ipod classic work, but also doesn't work. I can still play music and listen to my music fine, but the headphone jack isn't working like it did a few months ago.

    If your phone is still under warranty, Apple will service your phone for free.
    Did you check the headphone port for any kind of debris or lint?
    Did you already try another set of headphones? Are you suing the headphones that came with the phone?
    Is the headphone jack plugged in fully into the headphone port?

  • I've just downloaded itunes 12 and when I connect my IPod classic 160gb, I tunes shows it'sP name briefly and then then ipod silhouette at the top left simply greys out and nothing else happens. Please advise.

    I've just downloaded itunes 12 onto my pc. When I connect my IPod classic 160gb, it's name shows up briefly before the ipod silhouette at the top left simply greys out and nothing happens.
    Please advise.

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

  • How much does it cost to have Apple replace the plastic casing?

    I'm planning to buy an Ex-Display MacBook from my local PCWorld but the casing has a pretty nasty scrape down the edge of the lid. I was wondering if anyone knew how much Apple would charge to replace the plastic casing of the lid? Otherwise the laptop is in perfect new condition!
    Many thanks.

    Apple will not replace the plastic on the lid. They only replace complete components, which means they would replace the entire screen assembly. Probably bout a $500 repair.

  • TS1372 How much is it to replace the hard drive in my iPod classic

    I've had my iPod classic for about three and a half years now and a few days ago it started to freak out on me. So when it stopped responding, I did the hard reset like I'd already done a million times before. Only this time, it said that I had to plug into iTunes to restore it. Long story short it didn't work and when I took it to Best Buy they said that the hard drive had failed. To get it repaired they also said that I would have to ship it to Kentucky. I live in New Mexico and I'm just wondering if anyone knows how much that costs and wether or not it's just a better idea to get a new one.

    Here is the Apple iPod repair price list, I think US$179
    For 3rd Party service, US$50 to US$130, Google for "IPOD CLASSIC REPAIR New Mexico", for one near your area.
    Good Luck!

  • How do i find out if my one year warrenty will cover replacing the earphone jack?

    Nomatter what I do only one earphone works with all headphones, when i put the headphones in another device both works. My wanenty does not expire until next febuary, but i keep trying to look and see if it is covered but i cannot find it in the text. I don't have any money so I have to deal with it if apple does not cover, but i really want to listen to my music peacefully again. Please help me.

    Unless the problem was caused by abuse or other accidental damage, Apple will exchange your in-warranty iPod with a refurbished one at no cost. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store for the exchange.

  • Ipod classic 160gb  won't sync past the 36 gigabyte point

    I recently had the headphone jack on my iPod Classic replaced, but when I got it back and tried to sync it on my computer (running Windows XP SP3) I began to encounter serious problems. When the sync reaches the 36 gigabyte mark (I can't say for sure if it always crashes at exactly the same point), the ipod will refuse to add any more music and I encounter one of three error messages, one about being unable to write itunesdb.old, one claiming the ipod is full and one claiming it encountered a crc error (alas I can't remember the exact wording of any of the three, I can get this information with some effort if it is really necessary). Furthermore, after this error occurs, the ipod causes the computer to behave sluggishly, with the 'my computer' folder frequently freezing when I attempt to open it. Also, when I attempt to eject the ipod it goes into a reset (but for some reason it will still play all music added before the last sync attempt perfectly).
    I have taken a number of steps to try and fix this problem, after the ipod would not sync with Winamp and the ml_ipod plugin, I installed the latest version of iTunes and encountered the same problem, I also tried restoring the ipod using iTunes a number of times. To ensure the problem was not corrupt files I ran the chdk utility on my hard drive, in addition I attempted to add files from different parts of my music library, tried adding the music letter by letter and tried syncing the ipod to my friend's music collection on his computer (running Vista and the latest Itunes)and encountered the same problem every time.
    Could someone please help me out diagnosing this problem?

    I bought my 160gb iPod clear in the knowlege that I had a 12 month warranty on hardware failure. No extended warranty or insurance. If I lose my iPod or damage it through carelessness I'll be cross with myself not Apple. I've had almost two years use out of it so far and when it does die, hopefully from natural causes, I'll still be cross but I reckon I'll have had my money's worth. Having been through a significant number and variety of portable cassette & CD players over 30 years it's lasted longer & been much more fun to own than any of those. To be honest it's survived quite a few falls and proved to be remarkably robust although my nice silicone sleeve may be an important factor in it's survival. Two of my kids have 5th gen iPods which have needed new headphone jacks (their wear & tear) and one's battery could do with replacing (age) but they've been good too.
    Hard drives can & do fail. A hard drive that is used while moving is probably going to have a shorter life-span than one that sits still. This article on the bathtub curve illustrates three classes of failure, early infant mortality, due, presumably to some manufacturing defect, random failures over time & failures due to wear & tear. User induced failure (dropping, drowning, baking in the sun etc.) are presumably random over time, although I guess we're all a little more protective/careful with a shiny new toy. Your warranty should have covered any early failure. Apple or your dealer probably offered an option for an extended warranty when you bought it which you, I presume, like me, declined on the basis that you didn't think it was good value for the money. With this in mind why do you think Apple should replace an out of warranty iPod? They've kept their end of the contract, presumably you've had 12 months of useage out of it for your warranty to have expired.
    Putting all that aside you say you have the same problem. What symptoms exactly? Have you looked at the SmartData for example? Have you conducted surface tests of both the iPod's drive & your source media? If your iPod's drive is damaged are you being honest with yourself over how roughly you've treated it?

    All you need is a plug adaptor, if required. Apple sells an adapter kit:

    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:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • MY hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes it says that I have to replace the old library (that is lost forever) with the new library to sync. I do not want to lose all the songs on my iPod! What can I do?

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    I solved it myself, after the "note" which came back from FF/Mozilla just as I finished my message, commenting on what it was that my system had , I wnnt back to check my plug-ins etc. I downloaded the latest Java, BOTH 32bit AND 64 bit versions and latest Firefox.
    Now all is working.
    Thanks,

  • Just bought a Macbook Pro. I want a clean install so won't use a Time Machine backup but how can I install the software I bought from Apple Store? can I just delete it from the old machine that is going to someone else?

    The new machine has Mavericks which is fine. And I will leave it as is. I don’t want anything from my old machine other than 2 apps that I will need on the new one. I want to be able to install those apps that I bought from the App Store onto my new computer. I assume Apple doesn’t want me to have the apps installed on 2 machines at the same time so I wonder if just uninstalling them from my old machine will release them for re-install on the new one.
