Exchanged my broken ipod video for a nano

I purchased a 2GB white ipod nano a month or so ago. then i saw they released a video ipod. well of course i had to have it. so i returned my nano and bought one of the first video ipods in white 30GB. well a few days later i started hearing weird noises from the hard drive. like a clunking screetching. i immediately knew the hard drive was failing. took it to the apple store to have a mac genius look at it and of course it was a bad hard drive. they obviously let me exchange it for another.....but instead of getting another video ipod i got another 4GB white nano. i just feel like the nano is more durable (at least the insides are) and will last alot longer. also it will be skip free. and after holding both in my hand the nano just fits alot better. the new video ipod is thin but it is wide and is more akward to use with one hand than the nano is. i know there are some of you that bought a nano and now want a video ipod, and i am hear to say be happy with the nano. it is a very nice music player.

another interesting thing is that my nano has been in my pocket all day and does not have a scratch on it. not even a hair. looks right out of the box. could apple have finally fixed the problem? is this the end of the nanos that scratch so easly???? my first nano scratched like it was made out of candy.

  • Traded a video for a nano

    Yesterday morning I had traded my iPod video for a nano and I cannot sync it in iTunes, I have a feeling that it's becuase it doesn't have the right firmware, but if you could provide a link to a download or some other help please. Thank you in advance.

    Try with the iPod in forced disk mode.

  • Can I get music off of a broken iPod Video, 30GB?

    This isn't detrimental, I have an iPhone as well as an iPod touch and have all the music I need. But I found my broken iPod video today, and it hasn't worked for a few years. I dropped it about three and a half years ago, cracked the screen, and ever since it's been fudged up. If I plug it in, it'll try and start up, then shut itself down, so it's *trying* to work.
    I'm simply curious to see what music was on there, so it's not a big deal if it's not possible. I know I had over three thousand songs on there, and they're all bound to be terrible, but it's fun and also horrifying to look back on my previous taste in music.
    If anybody has any solutions, or ideas, let me know, but like I said, not in a panic, not taking it to be repaired or anything.
    I'm not sure if it's called the iPod classic, by the way, but this is the iPod I'm talking about. http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/ipod-2-091206.jpg
    I don't think the iPod's coming up on my computer. I just plugged it in, and this is my old crappy computer since my PC decided to crap out, but there's no sign of it being recognized so I'm assuming it's probably a lost cause, but oh well.

    The only suggestion I have is to try and force the iPod into Disk Mode.

  • Is there an exstension for ipod video to the nano

    I got the nano so it could play video but a very nice person told me no theres ipod video so i was wondering if you can get an exstension to the nano to play video
    thank you

    You could try and return your Nano and get a 6 generation ipod (with video capabilities) if you really want video playback. Apple only accepts returns within 14 days most others withing 30 days.

  • Do 5th Gen iPod video & 3rd Gen Nano have exactly the same dock connector?

    Its just I have a 5th Gen, and have just bought the wife a 3rd Nano.
    I have a speaker dock that I use for my iPod Video, can she use it with her new nano?
    Also just bought a iPod clock alarm, it states it supports iPod video, but only says Nano (no gen description) so is this going to be the same connector to?
    I know I will need a dock plastic adapter thing, which you get it the box of the Nano so am ok there
    cheers

    ah I see, so physically they are the same, and wil lfit, but it may be a different matter if they actually work
    Ive just put it on a speaker dock I have, and it works fine, wil try it on a iPod dock clock alarm I have as well soon
    cheers, I just didt want to push it too hard on incase it was actually a physical different size

  • Would Ipod Video hurt the Nano sells?

    I ask this because Apple released the Nano not long ago, and now, they are releasing the Ipod Video.
    Lots of people seems to be jumping in into the Ipod Video and wanting to sell their Nano.
    What I am wondernig is, do you think Ipod Video is a successer to the Ipod Nano? Or are they in a seperate market that attracts different people?

    Yea. I guess you guys are right. Apple does know what they are doing.
    I would much rather have the Nano too. I never carry all my musics with me. I just carry the ones that i like the most and 4 G is more than enough for that. And I would never watch video on that thing. LOL that is what my labtop and TV is for.
    Nano is perfect for me cause itz soo small and convienent.
    Ipod Video, although smaller than the previous Ipod, is still very chunky compare to the Nano.

  • Reformat 60g ipod video for windows

    I would like to reformat a recently purchased ipod already mac formatted (and loaded with files) to windows. The idea would be to use the ipod and itunes with both pc and mac.
    I haven't purchased any songs from itunes and plan to use my existing music as mp3s rather than m4p or m4a on the ipod.
    I have an external hard drive (formatted fat32) which can be used to back up music/video files which reside on the mac computer (and are also present on the ipod), transfer them over to the pc, then back onto the ipod again after formatting.
    I've read that apple does not officially support a windows formatted ipod to be used on a mac. I've also read that using an ipod formatted fat32 on a mac slows down read/write in itunes, etc, but not sure if that also applies to the latest ipod video units.
    Can someone verify this? I would like to be able to use the ipod on both platforms.
    Can I just format the ipod with windows into fat32, or do I have to use the apple software to do this?
    Would using the ipod like this be more trouble than it is worth?
    dell   Windows XP  

    Thank you Niel.
    I have an old winme computer that I've been using to format my external hard drives to FAT32 and have had success for 200g and 300gb drives which xp and mac then recognize, but there probably is some advantage in using Apple's refomating software for the ipod, so I will use that.
    The ipod will be used on both xp and mac. I came across a post regarding using one of the older ipods formated in FAT32 and how that file system slowed certain functions with the mac as opposed to HFS formatted ipod and was wondering if anybody has experienced this with the ipod video.
    When using ipod with both xp and mac, are there any other issues to be concerned with, like syncing with itunes, etc?

  • What format do videos for the Nano have to be in?

    I have videos that are already in MP4 format that will not upload to the 7th gen nano. They are not high def cause they were taken with a phone ... is there a converter out there that I DON'T have to pay for. This is ridiculous that the kid such an amazing gift and they can't use it due to all the proprietary #$%@& you have to go through just so they can use it.

    All of the encoding parameters supported by the 5G iPod are on the tech specs on the Apple site:
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/specs.html
    See the row "Video Support" about midway down the page.
    On the Mac, I've been using Handbrake to encode videos to MP4 for the iPod, works great. There's an article or blog entry somewhere with all the details, but unfortunately I don't have it handy.

  • I heard a rumor that apple fixes a broken ipod screen for free is it true?

    I broke my ipod screen and heard that apple would fix it if you take it to there store is it true?

    Sometimes the genius at the Genius at the Genius Bar of an Apple store with do that. However, almost always Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price since a broken screen is not covered by the warranty.

  • Exchanging my 2G iPod Touch for the latest Generation.

    I now have an iPod Touch 2G. Its been a year since I got it. I would like to buy the latest generation (4G or the 5G if it comes out). Would they take my iPod Touch as an exchange? If yes, for how much would they take it approximately?

    Apple will not take your iPod Touch 2G, I recommend selling it via a service like eBay.
    5G will probably come out in the Fall with iOS 5. (don't flame me, but it's true)

  • Trading in broken iPod Touch for new one

    I left my my 4th generation iPod touch on outside on a cold day and water condensation got inside. My iPod is fully functional except there's a white streak that runs from top to bottom on the left side of the screen. I went to the Apple Store and one of the employees informed me that I can do some sort of trade off for a new ipod? I don't quite recall what he said but I believe I would get some sort of discount. If anyone knows the answer or other options I might have, I would highly appreciate. Thanks!

    Apple will only give you a 10% recycling discount if you turn in an old iPod when you purchase a new one. Better off selling it yourself.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB one and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.

  • Broken iPod Video Screen!!! :-(

    So my screen is broken! Will apple cover it or do I have to pay to get it repaired?
    I think i might have sat on it to make it break or something else might of happened.

    I leave for a trip tomorrow to Disneyland in Anaheim. What is the closest store to there if you think i Can get it replaced.

    Follow this link to see where the closest location is.

    Broken screen seems to never be covered by Apple. Termed misuse and will be out of your pocket. Cost to repair accounts for close to half if not more the total cost of the IPOD.

  • Returning Broken iPod Classic for new Product

    I have a defective 30GB iPod classic. I bought a new one, but still have the old one. Will Apple take the old one as part of a trade in for a new product?

    As part of a recycling program they will give you 10% off towards the purchase a an iPod at an Apple Store.
    Or you can sell it for parts.

  • The motherboard on my computer is broken. Can I part exchange my broken Mac Pro for a new computer?

    I was hoping to fix my computer but it seems that it will be costly to fix the motherboard.
    I am hoping to confirm whether it is the best solution to get a another computer and the cost is not a large difference or whether I could part exchange my old one?

    Apple accepts old equipment for recycling. The amount you'll get for it is minimal.
