Does the Apple store fix ipods?

Do Apple stores fix Ipods or do I have to mail it to Apple? I don't have a warranty and my ipod is kinda old. I'm kind of apprehensive to mail my Ipod somewhere. Do they give you a estmate or do they do the work and charge you?
Thanks.

No, they wouldn't fix it at an Apple store. You could send it in but out of warranty service from Apple is very very expensive. Quite frankly it would be more cost effective to buy a new iPod.
You could try a 3rd party site such as iPodResQ.com

  • Will the apple store fix my keyboard area for a third time?

    I have an early 2008 white macbook and about a year after I got it the edges of the keyboard area (right where the magnets from the screen part close on top of) started chipping off. It tends to catch against my hands or arms and then rip more off of it. I brought it to the apple store and they told me that I just needed to be really careful when closing and opening the laptop because the magnets can put stress on that area and start making it break. They replaced the whole keyboard and all was well.
    I was really careful, just like they said to be, for another year or more and it started breaking off again. I left it for a while because I didn't think they would fix it for me again, but then my touchpad wouldn't let me click anymore (the button wouldn't even press down) so I brought it in again. They said the battery started inflating or something and they replaced the battery and the keyboard again for me.
    Now the keyboard area is chipping again. I'm curious, do you think that they would replace it for again a third time or is this wishful thinking?

    How much does the apple store charge to replace the keyboard/trackpad assembly?

  • Why does the Apple store carry  iKlear cleaning solution in stores?

    I noticed that the manual with my MacBook Pro just recommends dampening the cloth with water in order to clean the screen. Then why does the Apple store and website promote iKlear cleaning solution for the screen (rhetorical question) ? Is this product safe or not for cleaning the screen? Thanks.

    They carry it because they're a store, and like any store, anything that boost the margins is great to have on the shelf. It's the same reason any store sells really expensive accessories.
    I've always used water as the manual recommends. But iKlear is safe and I'm not necessarily against it. It may be good for unusual or stubborn stains that water can't dissolve. But for everyday cleaning, the question is whether you would prefer to clean your screen for free, or by paying for an expensive chemical.
    I've never bought a screen protector for my iPhone either, and it's been totally fine.

  • If i dont have apple care will the apple store fix my phone for free? i cannot use headphones because the port is messed up..

    My headphone port is messed up, I cant use headphones.. Will the apple store fix it for me for free or will they charge me to do so? I dont think i have apple care?

    If you dont have AppleCare but you are still within your Apple 1 year limited warranty then hardware service is free as long as the issue was not caused by physical or liquid damage.

  • Does the Apple Store still recycle iPad 2 now?

    Does the Apple Store still recycle iPad 2 and iPhone 4 now? And how much could I get from it to buy a new iPad or iPhone?

    Yes if they are in working order. You will have to ask at the Apple Store to find out the amount.

  • Does the Apple store give you the Verizon upgrade discount, Does the Apple store give you the Verizon upgrade discount

    Does the Apple Store give you the Verizon upgrade discount/

    Absolutely not. I've confirmed this both with an brick-and-mortar Apple Store employee by phone and via chat with an online Apple Store representative. Instead, they will tell you that 'some people have called Verizon after buying the phone at the Apple Store and received the discount as a credit toward their bill. Verizon, however, flatly denies this is the case and refuses to transfer the upgrade discount to a bill. Verizon claims that you can receive the upgrade discount only by purchasing an iPhone from a Verizon corporate store or from their website.

  • I just bought ipod 5 on ebay and the seller did not know passcode can the apple store fix this problem

    i just bought a ipod on ebay and seller does not know passcode if i go to the apple store can they fix my problem?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    The previous owner still has to remove the device from their account in order for you to activate the iPod.

  • Does the Apple store repair the iPod touch 5 (32Gb) with a cracked screen under the year warranty? (I know they charge money)

    So my iPod touch 5th gen 32 Gb got cracked at the top (works) and is still under the year warranty (http://i.imgur.com/j83atSI.png)
    I ordered it online through Apple.com and I have never been to the Apple store so I don't know the process of what I do when i get there (with an appointment i Know)
    Well also do they even repair cracked screens (minor)?  (http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&viewlocale=en_US&geo=United_St ates&product=ipod&select=REPAIR_PRICING) is that information correct

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • What does the Apple Store do with our old iPhones?

    Question -- I have a water damaged iPhone and I am probably going to have to get it replaced at the Apple Store. It's basically bricked and won't turn on, but what happens when I swap it out? Do they try to fix the old one? Or just gut it for parts? I ask because I have private pictures and notes/passwords, etc. on there that I would worry about people having access to if they were able to get the phone working again.
    Once I switch my backed up data and port my number over to the new phone, would anyone still be able to access that stuff on the old one? Or if they did get it working again, would it go back to a restored version?

    I guess the real question is if the phone is recoverable, would my data still be on there? I'm worried about my pictures/notes being recovered? Or does that all port over to my new phone?

  • Does the apple store sell sim to thoes who what to use there phone as a i pod ?

    so i got the i phone 6 for christmas and i want to use it as an i pod and i dont have a sim cart and its a unlocked phone ... do u know if the apple store has a sim card just to acctivate stuff like this ? or where i could find a sim WITHOUT any plan ?
    ***i am not able to bypass the acctivation so i need help ! 
    please help

    Not to my knowledge. They do not have a supply of SIM cards. Do you have a cellular phone at all? Do you have a friend with one that has the same size SIM as the phone you have? You can use one of theirs. Why would someone get you an iPhone as opposed to an iPod if you do not have a cellular account?

  • Does the Apple Store offer a "tune up" service?

    My 2007 macbook pro has been acting goofy lately. Caps lock randomly comes on, the trackpad will just die on me, the backlight to the keyboard completley goes out, the battery is constantly stuck at 99%. Will the Apple store do some kind of tune up for me at a reasonable price? thanks in advance!!!!!

    You may want to discuss with your school what theyconsider 'community service". It usually means doing work that helps people or in some way betters the community: working at a soup kitchen, a volunteer literacy project, working with community groups that plant gardens or help maintain parks. Working for the one of the largest for profit companies in the world, particularly in a retail location, is usually not considered "community service".
    If you are interested in computers, you may look for a program in your community that helps teach people how to use computers or perhaps refurbishes computers for schools or other groups or individuals who can't afford new ones.
    Best of luck.

  • Does the apple store accept virtual visa cards.

    Ok so I couldn't find any section for the actual apple store so this was the closest catogery I could find.
    Anyway I got a visa gift card for my birthday and am thinking of ordering the new iphone. But this means I will have to add several more hundred euro onto the card. So I was wondering will the online store accept a virtual visa or will I just be wasting my money

    Thanks Carolyn,
    Thanks for your reply. I should have specified that I am in ireland, so the payments page is slightly different from the US one. The best equivalent I can find for ireland is
    http://store.apple.com/ie/help/payments/card_payment
    However there is nothing specified about virtual visas here. I found one virtual visa company (not the one I am looking at using) that states "Please notice Apple® does not support Virtual VISA® at iTunes®."
    https://bancore.com/pages/b2c/products/virtualvisa.do
    I know the apple store and itunes are different however if it does not work I will have €679 stuck on a virtual visa card that will essentually be of no use to me as it won't be possible to take it off again. There are no physical apple stores in Ireland so the only way to buy an iphone outside of a contract with a mobile phone provider is trough the online store.
    I tried ringing their sales line however the person on the other end of the phone did not sound like he had the slightest clue. He just said if the card works on any other online store that it will work with apple which is contrary to what the above virtual visa company say.
    Any help offsomeone who has either used or failed to use a virtual visa would be extremely appreciated.

  • HELP! ...I went to the apple store to get my iPhone replaced. When I left, happy & all, I realized I did not erase the data off of the iPhone I got replaced!! Does the apple store reset those iPhones so that information isn't stolen or tampered with?

    I didn't know you were supposed to delete your information when you might get your iPhone replaced...

    First, please understand we are not Apple employees on this forum, and we are not authorized to speak for Apple.
    Having said that, here are two thoughts:
    1.  Did you sign a form when you left your old iPhone with Apple?  You might consider reading that form.  It may help.
    2.  You might consider telephoning the Apple Store and ask them about resetting your old iPhone.
