I got my ipod touch (4th generation) on March 20, 2012, and it fell out of my pocket when I jumped. Unfortunantly, the screen cracked very badly, and it has become a hazard, not only for the many cuts I have gotton on my fingers from the ipod screen's broken glass, but for what I type (because the screen is cracked so badly, I cannot see what I am doing). The ipod has become pointless to own in its condition. I would like to know how much the repair would be, where the best place to get it done is located, and how much future insurance would cost in the United States. Thank you for you time.
See "Repair Pricing."
No clue where you can purchase insurance but it's probably not worth the price. -
Hi. I have an ipod touch 4th generation, it's in perfectly good condition no cracks or anything. The issue is my ipod is locked and i'm not able to type in my passcode because the numeric keypad isn't working properly.For ex. when i hit 8 (which is the second number in my passcode) the number 5 type in. Also my home button isn't working. Hope that was specfic enough.. thanks!!

Cracked iPod Touch 4th generation screen-Help!
Hello.
In December, I bought an iPod Touch 4th generation. It is 16 GB. Yesterday, when trying to take a picture, I dropped my iPod and now the screen has many cracks. However, both cameras were not damaged, and the device seems to work fine. Also I have a screen protector on it.
First of all, I dont know if I should replace it, keep it, or get a new one.
On replacing: Can the screen actually be replaced? Or can the cracks be helped? And how much would it cost? Would Apple charge me for it? (there is an apple store about 40 mins away) Or should I just take it to one of those repair shops at the mall?
On keeping it: As I said, the device works fine, but there are many cracks.
On getting a new one: I do not have AppleCare, but it has been under a year, so would the warranty be violated? Or not, because it was my own mistake? Would Apple replace it? Also, I do not have enough iCloud storage, so if I got a new iDevice, my data would be lost. Wouldnt it?
Finally, on that last topic, can you buy iCloud storage with an iTunes card? And can I cancel it?
Please help me. Thank you.Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. They do not fix yours.

IPod touch 4th Generation not charging.
I have had my iPod touch 4th Generation for 3 weeks, after having to buy a new one because i was refused by anyone to have my old iPod 4th Generation fixed as its screen wouldn't work
Anyway, last night my iPod was charging fine when i went to sleep, but after i went to sleep it had obviously stopped charging during the night as it had red battery
I have tried charging it in the computer, docking station and a plug in the wall but neither of them work, i have even tried changing the USB cable and nothing will work
Any ideas of how to fix this? I've seen many complaints on here about it but no one knows how its happened to their iPod because it just happens
My iPod is now completely off because it wont charge and the battery is dead so i cant get onto my iPod to do anything
Help please?See the not charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Also look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bend or corroded contacts, foreign material and crack or broken plastic. -

How to unjam sleep/power button? iPod touch 4th generation
A few days ago, I was using my ipod touch 4th generation. It working fine. A minute later, I went to use it again, & for some reason my sleep/power button was jammed. I have to use immense pressure to make it go to sleep. Is there a way I could get it unjammed without opening my iPod? I don't want to risk it breaking it any further. I would take it to the Apple Store, but I don't have warranty on it anymore since I got it a little over a year ago when it first released. My screen is also cracked from last December. Will the Apple Store still fix the sleep/power button and maybe my screen without warranty? & how much will be? Individual or both? Much appreciated!
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.

How much does a standard screen repair on an iPod Touch 4th Generation cost? How can I get one?
I droped my black iPod Touch 4th Generation from 4 feet on tile floor. The whole screen shattered in a "spider web" crack, it's still usable and responds to touch and other than the crack is in working condition. I want to know how much would it cost (about) to send to Apple and get a new screen installed, and how can I do this and how long would it take? Thanks.

How do I find out my iPod touch 4th generation warranty information
I dropped my iPod touch 4th generation on the tar and cracked the screen. I am unaware if you need your warranty information to get it repaired. This is the first time it has ever Borlaug in the time frame of the warranty. If I do need it how do I find it, I have been on the site for about two hours and it is not telling me how to.
A broken screen is not covered by the warranty. Here is a list of out-of-warranty replacement pricing: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/ You do not need any information to get this price.

IPod Touch 4th Generation Won't Charge
Hi, I got my iPod touch 4th generation in January of 2011 and it has been working fine until now.
Let me explain ...
The other day my battery ran out on my iPod, so just as usual I went to plug it into the USB port on my computer. Nothing happened. I then tryed switching USB ports (I have 4). Nothing happened. I then tryed using my wall charger. Nothing happened. I tryed switching outlets. Yet again, nothing happened.
Frustrated I asked my friend if I could borrow her charger. I then proceeded to plug it in to my 4 USB ports, and my many plug outlets. Yet again, nothing happened. When I plug it into my computer, it does not reconize my iPod (Although, I believe it shouldn't since my iPod is dead.). I even tried leaving it plugged in for a few hours, and it still did absolutley nothing.
Now normally when my iPod dies, when I attempt to turn it on it shows a flashing low battery sign (http://ihackmyi.com/files/upload/b/2140-112810133913.jpg) and when I plug it in it shows a low battery sign, except with a symbol notifying me that it's charging (http://www.best-ipod-online.com/images/ipod-touch-troubleshooting-01.jpg). Except now when I attempt to turn it on, it does nothing. It just shows a pure, plain, black screen.
I am completely disapointed with my iPod, and any help at all would be appreciated. I do not wish to ship it away, I will only do that as a last resort.
Thank you,
