Does apple do exchanges on ipod touch? if so how much would it cost?, Does apple do exchanges on ipod touch? if so how much would it cost?

My brother has been locked out of his ipod touch and weve tried everything to get back into it. Is the apple store able to repair this? or are we able to exchange for a new one? If so what would be the cost?

Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
Apple does not do trade-ins. An exchange is only for a device that is no longer working - dead, for example. Not like yours which is probably fixable. Exchanges are only done for an exact same refurbished model, not a new one.

  • After updating to iOS 6 my iPod Touch 4th.Gen is virtually unusable ... does anyone know how to sue Apple since they gave no warning about iOS 6 being for iPad optimisation and a killer  for iPods ?

    After updating to iOS 6 my iPod Touch 4th.Gen is virtually unusable ... does anyone know how to sue Apple since they gave no warning about iOS 6 being for iPad optimisation and a killer for iPods ?  Before I throw away my iPod Touch does anyone know if Apple intends to rectify their obnoxious disregard for iPod users by issuing another 'upgrade' which will allow iPods to work without the constant system crashes that iOS 6 has caused ?

    Contact a lawyer if you want to sue.
    Otherwise try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    PLEASE HELP

    Only if you purchased the the optional AppleCare+ warranty. In that case the exchange price would be $29.Otherwise,
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

    Does anyone know the cost to repair a accelermeter on. iPod touch 3th gen

    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.

    Apple will most likely exchange it. The one you receive will be refurbished.

  • How much does it cost to fix cracked screen on iPod touch

    How much does it cost to replace cracked screen on my iPod touch 2nd gen? I have heard it is free in the apple store when it is the first time.

    Not free the first time.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. I doubt it is worth it for the old 2G

  • My 2nd Gen iPod Touch won't show up in iTunes but does appear in My Computer

    When I connect my 2nd Generation iPod touch to my laptop it will not appear in iTunes. It does, however, appear in my Computer.
    I have worked through all of the troubleshooting guides on the Apple Support section, and have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice.
    This message appears every time I plug my iPod in, and frequently whilst it is still plugged in charging:
    'MobileMe Service has stopped working.' This is a pop-up window produced by Windows, I know this is the 'service' that picks up an iPod's prescence but stopping and restarting the service does nothing. My iPod still won't show up.
    Please help, I am willing to faff around a bit. Might it be a problem with Windows itself? If so, how would I go about fixing it?
    Thanks in advance,
    P.S I have the latest version of iTunes, and the operating system of my iPod is 4.2.1.
    My version of Windows Vista is 32-bit.

    I have the same problem with my 2nd gen itouch.
    I've tried other computer and my childrens iPods work on my computer so not a windows problem.  I've tried reinstalling iTunes and resetting itouch as per apple support pages but nothing, it doesn't even show on my computer. Any help greatly appreciated :-)

  • When i scan my ipod from the application named find my ipod touch 4 it simply shows location unavailable while that of my cousin's ipod touch exactly shows the same location..... Why does that happen???

    When i scan my ipod from the application named find my ipod touch 4 it simply shows location unavailable while that of my cousin's ipod touch exactly shows the same location..... Why does that happen???

    When you go to the Google Maps app on the iPod does it correctly find your location? The iPod's locations service uses the location of the a nearby wifi router to locate te iPod.  However, not all routers are in Apple's database and as of yet nobody here knows of a way to add routers to the database.

    Hello I have just purchased a 2nd hand Ipod touch 4th Gen, I cannot seem to delete the Apple ID in the message settings of the previous owner?

    Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. Then setup the iPod with your account.
    If necessary, place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    If you still have the devices, import them to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then sync them to your current device.  If they are only stored in backups, the only way to access them is to restore the device to the entire backup.  Note: you can only restore photos in an iPhone backup to another iPhone, and from an iPad backup to another iPad.  If the backups are on your computer, you may be able to extract the photos from the backup using 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor.
