Does the extended warrenty cover stolen ipods?

Hello. Someone stole my iPod touch 4 generation. I was wondering if my extended warrenty covered stolen?

A stolen iPod is most definitely NOT a warranty issue.
Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • What exactly does the extended warrenty cover?

    my silver nano, its...dying. the battery is dying and i just bought it in october. if its off for at least 10 minutes i can't turn it on unless i plug it in to the computer...but sometimes i'm not near one, and its getting frustrating.
    would the extended warrenty grant me a new ipod nano, or just fix the one i have? could i get a different color?

    apple's standard warranty says...
    If a hardware defect arises and a valid claim is received by Apple within the Warranty Period, at its option and to the extent permitted by law, Apple will either (1) repair the product at no charge, using new or refurbished replacement parts, (2) exchange the product with a product that is new or which has been manufactured from new or serviceable used parts and is at least functionally equivalent to the original product, or (3) refund the purchase price of the product.
    if apple accepts that there is a fault then it is almost guaranteed that you'll be sent either your own, repaired, ipod, or have it replaced with one of the same model/colour, that replacement might be new or it might be refurbished
    you can't use the warranty process to change colour/model, but apple can if it wants

    I know that probably sounds like a dumb question but I have to ask.

    No. Anything which does is an insurance policy, not a warranty.

  • HT3302 Does the extended apple care cover water damage to the iphone?

    Does the extended apple care cover water damage to the iphone?

    If you have AppleCare+, Apple will replace the iPhone for the "deductable", which in the US is $49. If you have the standard AppleCare plan, then accidental damage is not covered and you will have to pay Apple's out-of-warranty price for replacement. See:

    be careful with it
    and why do you want to change the colour
    personally i much prefer the white as it is the original i-pod colour
    out of intrest does anyone know why you can get black as well
    anyone know the reason they introduced it?
    just wondering
    ps there is a way of changing your ipod but it does void the warranty and can go wrong i suggest you dont my bro did it with his 4thgen but only when he had bought a 5thgen so if it broke he had the new one
    it turned out fine but does void the warranty and any dust that gets into the inside can be fatal
    ADVISE AGAINST IT
    cant you get a black case or something?
    like a protective sleeve of some kind

  • Does the apple warrenty start again when apple replace your products

    Hi All
    When apple replace your products like my iphone 5 does the 12 month warrenty start again? as the replacement I have is giving me an electric shock in my ear when on the phone and my phone is on charge

    An item replaced under warranty will have the balance of the original warranty or 90 days, whichever is longer.

  • How does the extended life battery (TV08) work? Does it kick in once the primary battery is dead?

    I just received my extended life battery.  Following the "instructions", I was able to attach it to the bottom of my laptop.
    I left it charging overnight.
    Today, I unplugged my AC adapter and ran on battery.  After a couple of hours, my primary battery completely discharged.  I was expecting the extended life battery to "kick-in".  It did not.  My computer completely shut-down.
    My question is, am I missing something on how to use this extended life battery or do I have a defective battery.
    My laptop is a Probook 6455b.
    Thank you.

    I have an elitebook 6930p & am trying to use it with the TV08 battery as well.  The battery seems to work with the laptop, but makes a buzzing noise when in use (this does not happen with just the TD06 battery or when plugged into the docking station)
    I called tech support & they told me the battery (being 14v) would overheat with the laptop.   Everything I can find on HP's site says the TV08 would be the correct extended battery for the laptiop.... does anyone know what the issue might be (with the buzzing, or which battery should be used)?
    According to your service manual the tv08 (534063-291) is only for use on japan model 6930p elitebooks, chapter 3 page 28.

  • Why does the App Store on my iPod kick me out when I try to search for an app?

    The App Store on my iPod touch keeps kicking me out when I try to search for an app or when I go to genius. I updated to ios6 today and this hasn't happened before. What can I do?

    I have the same problem on my iPod Touch 4 (IOS6).  My iPhone 4S (IOS6) works fine.  But the App Store crashes when I hit the Genius bar in App Store.  Apparently other folks are having this same problem.  I've rebooted, but that doesn't help.
