Does Apple offer battery replacement programs for older generation ipods?

Hi, I was wondering if they offer the service for a 5.5g 80gb ipod. If they do, would they replace it with another 5.5g 80gb ipod? If they don't, I will hate the company since I got my ipod for less than 2 years and the battery is almost completely dead.

I was wondering if they offer the service for a 5.5g 80gb ipod.
Yes they do have the service but it's far cheaper to go somewhere else (ipodresq.com or ipodjuice.com) or do it yoursself.
If you really want Apple to do it (~$60 vs. ~$20 DIY), go here -> https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
If they do, would they replace it with another 5.5g 80gb ipod?
No, they would replace your battery and send you the same iPod back.
If they don't, I will hate the company
What are you, 13?

They will give you 10% off a new one as reward for recycling your old one, but no direct up-trade.

Ipod nano 2nd gen, 5 years old, has short battery life. Can the battery be replaced? If not, does apple have a replacement program? how much?

Details:
5 year old 2nd Gen Ipod nano only works for an hour the most. Battery may be approaching end of life.
Can this still be replaced? if not, what are my options? Does apple have a replacement program?

Just would like to share with you, my experience with a friend's Nano with a smiliar problem
The battery level could be too low to boot up the OS of the iPod, which even may corrupted (if you see a folder icon).
The best way to fix it, is to connect it with different device other than your PC as it is likely not get charge at all, e.g.
1. car charger
2. ac charger
3. ipod speaker dock system
4. using firewire cable
5. with a Mac computer
The key is to charge the battery level up to the minimum for you to put your Nano into disk mode

once you see the "tick" mark, connect it with a computer, and try to do a Restore for your iPod. In case you still do not manage to get your iPod to be recognized by a PC, I am afraid you have to connect it with a Mac, very likely it will allow you to do a Restore as I did last night

Does Apple still sell replacement batteries for the white 13" MacBook?

Does Apple still sell replacement batteries for the white 13" MacBook?

You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

Does Apple offer any trade-in value for those of us early-adopters who bought the first version of ipad??? Are we forever stuck at OS 5.1 as OS 6 is not supported on the original Ipad?

Your only option is to sell the iPad and buy a new one.

Does Apple have an exchange program for broken I pod touch?

I've heard that Apple will accept a broken I pod and replace it for a charge, is that true?
If so, how do you do it?

If you destroy your iPod, nobody can be held responsible for that but you alone.

Apple iPod Battery Replacement Program Experiences.

Hello, as you all know apple offers the battery replacement program for 99 dollars (now sixty something dollars). For any of you that have tried it, can you please tell us all a little about how was your experience? did you get a better ipod or a worse one? a refurbished, used or new? scratched or perfect?
please leave a comment on how your experience was with Apple's battery replacement program even if it is a very small one.

I just received my refurbished iPod back yesterday. It looked like new! The engraving was on the back, just like the unit I sent in.
However, the reason I am on the forums today is that when I plugged it in to charge the new battery before synching, I received the familiar "battery with exclamation point" screen. So now I seem to have a clean, new or refurbished unit with the same old problem. Frustrating to say the least.

Is iPad 1 eligible for the battery replacement program?

Apple's battery replacement = different ipod?

Got a question about ipod battery replacement on Apple Care. Recently purchased two ipod classics, just before they were discontinued. The battery of one of them appears to be underperforming. I also have some older ipods that may need out-of-warranty battery replacement soon.
All my ipods are meticulous without a scratch.
Reading Apple’s article on ipod battery replacement, I am wondering. They call it battery replacement program but say 'No, you'll receive a replacement iPod that will not contain any of your data and songs.’
In other words: they give you another ipod - but there is no word whether it is a new one or somebody else’s. This sounds rather odd. What I try to avoid is getting a scratched up reconditioned replacement.
What do you get in the end?

In other words, their battery replacement program is really an ipod replacement program. So it is impossible to open up the ipod without damage. The program can then simply be used to get rid of your scratched up ipod.
Very strange indeed.
As to the battery of the classic purchased in Sept 2014: I am playing the same album on repeat at half volume. After 24h, there may be 15% battery left. Apple claims 40 hours and ilounge tested 58 hours.

12" battery replacment program--battery never arrived

Does anyone know how I can contact apple's battery replacement program to let them know my replacement battery never arrived? I am overseas and cannot use the 800 contact numbers.
Thank you

Go to the main Apple site, and use the drop down menu at the bottom of the page to change the country to the one you are currently residing in. Then click "Contact Us" and you should find a number to call.
Out of curiosity, how long did you wait? It took mine forever to reach me-maybe a month and a half.

Warranty/ battery replacement program settlement

I sent in a form last year for the battery replacement program for my ipod and have received no word back. Has anyone else ran into this?

Why don't you call the class action administrator. The phone number is listed in the papers you were given.

Update for 5th Generation ipod

Will Apple be releasing an update for 5th Generation ipod users to upgrade to the Operating System of the ipod Classic?

Yep, I can pretty much guarantee that Apple won't--even when Apple released the 5.5 Generation iPods they didn't give the original 5.0 generation iPods a search feature. And of course, neither the iPod touch nor iPhone have search for music either, which is rather odd...

My iphone 5 is eligible for battery replacement program but I have bought it from a mobile operator in Thailand (my place) since Dec 2012. Please advice whether I have to contact my operator or Apple Authorized Service Center. And any cost or free?
