How can I replace a battery in an ipod touch 3rd generation

Battery life goes from 75% to 20% in the matter of moments, then jumps back up, then down, up, down and then goes dead.  Can I replace the battery or how much does it cost to get a new one installed?

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

  • Can I go to an Apple store to replace the battery of my iPod touch 4th Generation without a proof-purchase or if I brought it somewhere else?

    I have an iPod touch 4th Generation that needs battery replacement after 2 years of use. Can I go to an Apple Store in my area to get my battery replaced? I brought the iPod in another store. Do I need a proof-of-purchase or it is too late due to the way past of Apple's warranty or I can't due to not officially not purchasing the iPod touch at the Apple Store? I welcome your feedback. Thank you!

    Apple will replace your iPod with a refurbished one for $79 (USA) or you could do a Google search on "replace iPod battery" for a local or on line repair place that will replace the battery for less.  You can even find a replacement battery (same search) and replace it yourself if you're up to it.

  • TS2771 how can i get my speaker to my iPod touch 5th generation to work i cant hear with without using the ear phone's

    How can I get my speaker fixed I cant hear only when I use my ear phones

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - 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. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty or the iPod has been abused, Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • How can I reverse the camera on my ipod touch 4th generation?

    Hello,  information on my ipod touch 4th gen says it has a dual camera, but it doesn't provide a reverse function on the screen.  How do I reverse the camera so it doesn't take selfies forever?

    If it is a 16 GB 5G it only has a front camera (FaceTime).

    What happens when you connect the iPod to the computer and click on Update or check for update button?
    If it says yu have 4.2.1 and are up to date then you likely have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to 4.21. If yours is n 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G.  Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods.  A 32 GB can be either. To identify your iPod:
    Enter SN here:

    Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. You can extend your coverage to two years from the date of your iPad purchase with the AppleCare Protection Plan for iPad. During the plan’s coverage period, Apple will replace the battery if it drops below 50% of its original capacity. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $99, plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.

    Hi karafromnv,

  • My old computer crashed and deleted my iTunes media file with all my playlist. However, my iPod has the playlist I lost on the computer. How can I replace (reverse synch?) my iPod media information back onto my (now reinstalled) virgin iTunes media folder

    My old computer crashed and deleted my iTunes media file with all my playlist.However, my iPod has the playlist I lost on the computer. How can I replace (reverse synch?) my iPod media information back onto my (now reinstalled) virgin iTunes media folder?

    Yes it's possible to sync music back from a iPod back into iTunes that (I assume) wasn't purchased on the iTunes Store.
    Apple allows iTunes Store purchases on devices to be reversed back into iTunes, just not cd rips and stuff like that. For that it's a one way trip to the device from iTunes.
    I likely can't suggest such software here, but if you visit iLounge you can ask what is the latest software that works for your platform.
    Really it only takes a mere few minutes to backup your iTunes Library and stick in a few cd/dvd's or a external drive. iTunes even has a menu command for it to make it oh so simple. Please use it and backup all your data.
    Hard drives fail, computers burn up, thieves steal, stuff gets forgotten. Plan for something happening because it will.
    Good Luck
