It can be fixed by Apple, some authorized Apple repair shops, or third-party repair shops.
Apple actually replaces your iPod with a refurbished iPod and the price will depend on what model you have. Others will repair your iPod and the prices tend to be lower.

  • The screen on my iPod has cracked / shattered.  Is this something that can this be fixed or do I need to get a new iPod?

    The screen on my iPod has cracked / shattered.  Is this something that can this be fixed or do I need to get a new iPod?  Everthing still works just the glass is shattered at the bottom and cracks are running up through the screen.

    I have been able to trick my ipod into letting me in but I still can't get the touchscreen to work this is extremely annoying and I was wondering if i should just get a new ipod or what?

    You need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection
    Try:
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one?

    I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one? If it could be fixed, how much would it cost?

    If it is still under warranty you can call the 800 number to apple and enter the serial number and it will tell you if it is under warranty or not if not its like $30 basically for them to help or something like that it said today when i called...
    Or take it to a genius bar if you have one near?
    Or further explain what setting you are needing fixed back and im sure someone here can help you for free!

    Now it keeps saying that it is restored but there is still no music or video on it. And a new error is coming up that says "We could not complete your iTunes store request.The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

  • I need to add my new ipod to itunes. it will only show the old dead ipod. i want to keep the music, but get rid of the info of the old dead ipod and add my new one and its info. please help.

    Hello,
    I need to add my new ipod to itunes.
    itunes will only show the old, dead ipod that my niece had given me secondhand.
    I just got a new one and want to put in it's serial number, etc. but keep the music.
    Please help, I've been going around in circles online for hours. I don't want to merely change the name of the old ipod, which is the only info I can find.
    Thanks.

    "In addition, I would like to get all of the music files that are already on my ipod on to my new computer"
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
    If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
    There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.
    Once the music from your iPod is in your new iTunes library, you can go about adding new music as you did previously.

  • My ipod is smashed and i need to get a new screen, my ipod is currently black, when i get my screen fixed would i be able to change it into a white one?

    My ipod is smashed and i need to get a new screen, my ipod is currently black, when i get my screen fixed would i be able to change it into a white one? and if so how much would it cost?

    First: Apple does not replace screens or repair mobile devices in any way. They will replace the device.
    Second: No. You will get the same model you had before.

  • Hi, i want to know how the recycle process works do you have to have the earpods and itunes disk and do you get a new ipod of your choice or a new one that you traded.Is it completely free.

    hi is the recycle process free?
    DO YOU NEED TO HAVE THE EARPODS AND THE ITUNES DISK TO PART TAKE IN IT OR JUST THE IPOD?
    DO YOU GET A NEW IPOD OF YOUR CHOICE EG.IF I HAVE A IPOD CLASSIC AND I WANT A IPOD TOUCH 5TH GENERATION OR DO I GET THE SAME IPOD CLASSIC BUT NEW.

    Please don't write all in caps. It's consider to be "shouting", and is more difficult to read.
    As to your question, an Apple Store will give you 10% off of the purchase price on any new iPod when you recycle an old one (the iPod shuffle not included). They do not need the earphones nor any of the disks or packaging.
    Regards.

  • Do any one know how much it is to get the new ipod touch with the camera if you trade in your old ipod touch?

    Sounds like you need a new battery.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm.  Apple will replace the battery for $79.  A third-party place like the folloing may be less expensive.  Google for more places.

    You can also replace it yourself if you are so inclined.  For parts and instruction:

  • How do I get the new iPod to work with iTunes

    I recently purchased a new iPod--I think it's the "Shuffle," whichever one retails for $150. When I plugged it into my iMac, it said I needed to install iTunes 10 to run it. When I checked for updates, it said that iTunes 9.xyz (whatever came after the 9) was the latest version.
    How do I get this new iPod to work. As you can tell, I am not much of a gadget junkie, and I'm a bit of a technology incompetent, which is why I purchased the Mac to begin with. I have an iMac, have no idea what operating system I am using--whatever came with it when I purchased it in November, 2008.
    TIA!

    Okay, I just looked and I do have 10.411. How do I upgrade to get the new iPod to work, and how much does the new operating system cost?

  • Getting a new iPod Touch to work

    Hello,
    I can't get my new iPod Touch to work, and I would appreciate help!
    I bought an iPod Touch today. I turned it on and the Apple logo appeared, and then instructions to connect the iPod to a computer appeared on the screen. The screen was very dark and I could hardly see what was on it. I connected the iPod to my MacBook Pro. iTunes started and said that the connected iPod was in recovery mode and that I needed to restore it to factory settings before I could use it. At this point, the screen of the iPod was blank. iTunes could not detect the version of the software, the iPod's capacity or its serial number. I tried to restore the iPod but iTunes gave me an error message saying that an error happened. At this point, the iPod was completely unresponsive, and the only thing that I could do was restarting by holding the home and power buttons.
    The iPod has been connected to my computer for an hour now, and the situation is still the same. Any idea of what's wrong?
    Thanks in advance.

    I got mine last week and it started up right away after pressing the home button. then I plugged it into my iMac and set it up. So your situation does not sound normal. I would try:If iPod touch won’t turn on, or if the display freezes or doesn’t respond
    Â iPod touch may need charging. See “Charging the Battery” on page 22.
    Â Press and hold the Home button for at least six seconds, until the application you
    were using quits.
    Â If that doesn’t work, turn off iPod touch and turn it on again. Press and hold the
    Sleep/Wake button on top of iPod touch for a few seconds until a red slider appears,
    and then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple
    logo appears.
    Â If that doesn’t work, reset iPod touch. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button
    and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Need to get a new printer.

    My PSC 2210 is really acting up and I need to get a new HP.  Is there an "all in one"  that does a decent job with color slides?  I really don't want to buy two units and will only have to copy the slides one time then I will be done.   A fax is not mandatory but will use it if there is an "all in one" that will do the slides.  My printing needs are simple, personal black and white letter, some color, copy letters and some photos.  The PSC 2210 filled all my needs except for not being able to do the slides. 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    By color slides do you mean you want to scan 35mm slides or that you want to print overhead transparencies?  Scanning 35mm slides requires a backlight adapter, referred to by HP as a Transparency Media Adapter (TMA).  As listed here this feature does not seem to be offered on the recent HP all-in-one units, it is available in some specialized photo scanners.

    How am i ment to use "find my i phone" when my iphone has not yet got icloud on it. What a waste of an app. Now need to get a new phone.

    Easy... you install the Find My iPhone app >  http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
    You can use that app without iCloud and you don't need a new iPhone.
