How can I tell if my "new" ipod is refurbished?

I was given an ipod as a gift, but now the giver suspects he may have been ripped off. It was not bought through Apple, but at a "reputable" place in NYC. However, it was not full price, which seems suspicious to both of us.
Is there a way to check online whether it's new or refurbished? Also, how do I know what gen it is, as it doesn't say on the back? Thanks.

You can check the serial number online. Go here and click on the link for your iPod type.

You should see a link over in the right column that says +Check your warranty status+. Enter your iPod's serial number. This may provide information on when the iPod was originally sold.

  • How can i tell what generation of ipod shuffle I have?

    We have various ipods and I need to know what generation of ipod shuffle we have.  How can if tell?

    This document about resetting the iPod shuffle shows a picture of the four types.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1655
    1st gen - It is white plastic and looks like a USB "thumb drive."  It as a full USB connector on it, so you don't need a cable to connect it to the computer.
    2nd gen - It is a clip-on design.  It has separate switches for setting playback order (shuffle or in order) and for turning ON/OFF.
    3rd gen - It is a narrow clip-on design, with no playback control buttons on the shuffle itself.  You use the "remote control" buttons on the ear buds cord.  It has the new VoiceOver feature.
    4th gen - Apple went back to the 2nd gen style, except smaller.  It has only one switch that is both for setting playback order (shuffle or in order) and turning ON/OFF, plus a small VoiceOver button (for using the VoiceOver feature introduced in 3rd gen)

  • How can I tell when the NEW firmware is available ?

    Although the firmware became available for the 'z2 tablet' very quickly - nothing has appeared for the phone (UK - SIM free).
    I have tried the update several times (with my PC) & am just told 'up to date'....
    I remember with the 'xperia s' I had to check a code (on a sticker inside the rear of the phone) to tell when it was available for me - how do I do this with the Z2 ?

    Unfortunately we are unable to confirm specific date for any particular firmware release due to the nature of the approval process.. For further information regarding the approval process please see here.

  • How can i tell if my new Apple TV is streaming using wireless N or G

    Ok i sold my 40G apple TV a few weeks back before the itunes update.. all worked great. Yesterday i purchased a new 16G apple TV and a new belkin N1 wirlessN router.
    So far i have had a few problems with syncing. After much searching here it looks like it is an issue with the new itunes build. Apple TV drops in and out of itunes etc.
    However when it is connected i found the streaming of movies and TV shows not much better than my old wireless G router. I was expecting much more. So as a shot in the dark is there a way to see the connection speed or transfer speed on the apple TV
    TIA
    henry

    Does your Mac have Wireless 802.11N? Both the router and the Mac must have N enabled to get the speed. ATV to Router will be at N speeds, but this does not matter if the bottleneck is between the Mac and the Router.
    Newer iMacs and MacBooks have N, If you bought before 2007, maybe not. Maybe check your system profiler to see which you have.
    For your initial sync, you may want to use an ethernet cable. See the Apple Knowledgebase article on how to do this. Once the initial sync is done, the incremental syncs should go pretty well with either g or n.
    I have n. My wife's Mac has g. She is able to stream video to the ATV with no problem. We are using the Airport Extreme, though, not the Belkin.

  • How can you tell from old/new?

    Thanks...

    If you look on the website, the old will have a number along with letter A. The new will have a number with a B.
    So according to BestBuys website, they have the iPods with the new Apps.

    Hi justlewis. I understand you want to determine when Windows 8.1 was originally activated. This will show you when it expires, but I am not certain how long it takes to expire:

  • How can I tell if my macbook pro has been restored to factory settings?

    I just bought I brand new macbook pro (15,4 inch) from an official apple store... but I'm thinking that it may be used (it was a bit dirty when I opened it, but it has no scratches).
    I tried with coconut battery, but it went ok, the battery is new. However they might have changed it.
    Is there a way to know if the mac was restored to factory settings?
    ... if not, is there any other way to know if is a used laptop?
    Thanks,

    cycle count says 1... wich correspond to the initial battery discharge I just did. That's why I think they may have changed the battery.
    Serial number is C02FHFG0DF8V... how can you tell if this correspond to a refurbished unit?
    It has all the "official" envelops of a brand new mac... the thing is that I found small dust specks all over the interior of the box and in the accesories (not on the notebook itself).
    According to coconut "Age of your Mac" is 11 weeks.
    That's why I thought the only way I could knew for sure if they used it before (maybe for showcasing at the store) was finding out if it was restored to factory settings. (Also I bought it in an official apple store).
