Cost of repairing ipod classic

My 160 gb Ipod classic will no longer store music, etc. -- seems to be dead. It does power up, but it tells me that even
after a sync, that it's holding nothing. I suspect that the hard drive died. Can this still be repaired and how would I get
it to Apple? Local Apple store?
Thanks,
Bob

Cost to repair ipod touch screen

My iPod touch screen cracked a few months ago and has worked fine ever since, but now part of my screen has been cut off (the left side is blurred out). Now my screen won't respond to anyone's touch and can no longer be used. What's the cost to get it fixed and how long will it take to fix it and get it back to me?

Will apple repair my ipod classic 80g with video?

I got my ipod classic 80g in 2006. I used it for a couple years and was very satisfied. It was in a backpack that was tossed carelessly, and then stopped working. The screen does not display anything except for some black lines. The physical casing is not broken however. When I plug it into a computer, I can hear the harddrive spinning, but itunes won't recognize it, and it won't show up as a device on my computer. I have waited so long to inquire about a repair because I have replaced it a couple of times with other ipods. I would really like to have this one repaired as I don't have an ipod curretently. And, instead of buying a new ipod classic, I would like to have this one repaired. I read that it would cost $129 to repair this ipod.
I would like to know however, if I spend $129 will apple repair my ipod for sure? If it is deemed unrepairable, will I get a replacement? Or will they refund my money?
Thanks for reading and giving your time.

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.
And it will cost $129 according to this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&viewlocale=en_US&geo=United_St ates&product=ipod&select=REPAIR_PRICING

My ipod classic is not recognised by itunes any more and gives a message, this disc cannot be repaired by this computer. Works well in all other ways, anyone else have this problem?

after my most recent update, my ipod classic will no longer sync with itunes, and I get a warning message that"this disc cannot be repaired by this computer", anyone else have something similar? The ipod plays well otherwise, I just can't sync or load new music

You may refer to this tutorial, it's about how to fix iTunes sync problem with iPod. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

How much will it cost to repair the headphone jack on my iPod video?

I have no warranty but the part is like $6 on amazon so it cant be much. I love this iPod and I have used it every day since it came out. I would hate for it to go to waste.

The cost for repair depends on where you have it repaired, whether that be Apple or a third party repair company. Apple charges a flat rate.

How do i get my ipod classic 120gb (2008) repaired via the Apple Support (also in german)

Hey Guys!
I have a question about the Repairingprogram of apple. I have here an ipod classic 120gb 2008 model and i want to know how much is it to get it repaired from Apple.
The Problem is, my ipod came in contact with shower Gel and the display is broken and I think also the HDD. (its always restarting till the battery is empty)
The Support Sites don't say anything about the Repairing Price in Europe (Austria) and I don't want to pay money for the telephone support to call this Company for a Information what i already know.
I hope, you guys can help me.
Thanks.
PS: Sorry for my bad english, i had my last Conversation in 2005.
Now in German:
Hey Leute!
Ich würde gerne wissen was Apple für die Reparatur bzw. den Austausch des Ipod Classic 120 GB (2008) in Österreich verlangt, da mir Duschgel in den iPod kam und das Display bzw. die HDD kaputt ist (das Ding startet sich andauernd neu). Die Apple Support Seite ist zwar schön und gut, aber sehr uninformativ und es sieht auch so aus als würde Apple für eine Information am Telefon Geld verlangen, unsympathisch.
Danke für die rasche Antwort.
MFG

Start on this page: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do. Although it begins with warranty, once it has determined that your iPod is not covered by warranty, you should be able to follow steps through finding Apple authorised service providers, local to you, who will be able to help you.

Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for the price listed here:

Hee is one third-party place. I do not see a listing for accelormeter replacement. I would suspect that they would replace the logic board which is expensive but not listed.

My Ipod classic has started to play mono only through the headphones. I have tried different headphones with the same outcome. Is the device repairable or better to upgrade?

Hey Grimeymouse,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPod classic is only playing sound in mono when using multiple headphones.
Since you've likely isolated this behavior to the iPod by trying multiple headphones, see this advice from the "The headphones don't work" section of the iPod troubleshooting basics and service FAQ:
If the issue appears to be with the iPod, try resetting it. If that doesn't work, then restore iPod with the latest iPod software using iTunes 7 or later.
All the best,
Jeremy

My home button is not workingit seems to be indented into the iPod itself. would Apple fix that? if so, what is the approximated cost of repair?

If under warranty and the iPOd is defective, Apple will replace the iPod ant no cost. Otherwise they will excahnge the iPod for a refurbished one for a flat price depending upon the capacity, for a 4G it is $99, $149, or $199.

HT1420 I am unable to authorise my iPod Classic on my new harddrive. All previous hardrives over the years have crashed or been repaired and I never deuathorised the iPod at the time. Can you help me to authorise it please?

I am unable to authorise my iPod Classic on my new hard drive. All previous hard drives have crashed or been repaired and I never deauthorised the iPod at the time. Can you help me to authorise it please?

Hello zoefromoranmore,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
In order to deauthorize devices which you no longer have, you will have to use the deauthorize all command, found in the article below.
Deauthorize all computers
If need to deauthorize your computer but you can't access it, you need to deauthorize all computers. After you authorize 2 computers, you'll have the option to deauthorize all computers for your Apple ID. You can deauthorize all computers once per year.
Why should I deauthorize all of my computers?
To make sure that only you can play your content, or to free up authorizations used by your old computers. Here's when you should deauthorize all computers:
Your computer doesn't work anymore
You sold or gave away a computer and didn't deauthorize it first
What happens when I deauthorize all computers? Will I lose my content?
Just like deauthorizing a single computer, you won't delete anything if you choose to deauthorize all computers. You just won't be able to play content that you bought from iTunes on those computers until you reauthorize them. You need to have the computer to reauthorize it.
How do I deauthorize all of my computers?
Using one of your authorized computers, follow these steps:
Open your account in iTunes (you may need to sign in with your Apple ID). Or open iTunes, click Store > Sign In, and enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Deauthorize All.
The Deauthorize All button appears only if you have more than 2 authorized computers. If you don't see the Deauthorize All button, that means you only have one authorized computer.
I deauthorized all of my computers. What should I do now?
Reauthorize each computer that you want to use with iTunes. Go to Store > Authorize this computer and enter your Apple ID and password.
Deauthorize your computer using iTunes

Apple refuses to repair my iPod classic under warranty

We are a total Apple family who CURRENTLY own 5 Macbook Pro's, one iPad, one desktop Mac, three iPod classics, three iPods and 6 iPhones. Not to mention all of the Apple products we have owned in the past. How much more can we support your product? We have never had a dispute with Apple over service, but the decision to refuse to repair my ipod under warranty because of damage or misuse is absolutely inaccurate. What is my recourse for disputing this decision?

First of all, you are not talking to Apple here, this is a user-to-user forum.
Warranty is there to protect you from failures in the manufacturing process. It is not there to pay for problems you cause or create, even if it was accidental.
If Apple have determined that the fault with your iPod is due to misuse, or damage, by someone who had access to the iPod after they sold it to you, and not due to a fault in the manufacturing process, I'm not sure there's anything you can do. I supose you could contact Apple again, appealing their decision, but I wouldn't hold out much hope of that resolving the issue, because these things are usually clear cut.
It's not in Apple's interests to refuse you warranty if their product was not up to their own standard, so that suggests that their diagnosis was accurate.

How much does it costs tp repair a screen for ipod touch?

how much does it costs to repair the screen to my ipod touch 4th generation

By third party we mean a place that is not an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or Apple Authorized Distributor (AAD) - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434
I browsed the iFix web site. Nowhere does it specifically state they are an AASP and usually places that are will make that immediately obvious. Their FAQ mostly mentions how to set up a franchise and does not state that repairs made by them will not void any Apple warranty. Apple is very particular about anybody working on their devices and if they detect somebody else has worked on a device (even if they do a good job) they could refuse to even look at a device again (warranty or not) in their shop. I'm not passing judgement on other companies, I'm just observing this so the OP knows in advance.
http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipho ne
"An iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service may be eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service. For example, an iPhone that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is ineligible for warranty service but eligible for OOW service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications."
The underlined clause could be interpreted by Apple to be any sign of anybody else having worked on a device. This isn't just Apple. If somebody is going to warranty a service then they want to make sure they are not also covering anything that might have been caused by somebody else working on the device previously.
