How long is a replacement ipod covered

My 4th Gen 40 GB ipod's HD died last Sept. I had apple care and it was replaced. The replacement drive died a month ago. I went to the apple site and was told it was out of warranty. I sent the ipod to a 3rd party co. and they said it again was the hard drive and it would be $170 to fix.
Question for anybody in the know is- how long are these replacement ipods under apple care good for? My apple care ran out at the end of oct 06.
***** the original lasted almost 2 years and the replacement lasted less than 5 months.
thanks!
Mike

It's either the remaining life of the existing warranty, or 90 days - whichever is longer.
Cheers!

    Thanks for answer, anyone else had the "pleasure" of doing screen replacement in store? I'm looking to replace it in London.

  • How long does apple hold ipod for

    ok... i sent in my ipod away in the empty box yesterday, its not a specialized one and how long will apple take to ship it back, and also if its gonna be the same color... or if its new or refurbished

    The length of time Apple takes to return it to you will depend on what's wrong with it, and how busy they are. Wherever possible they will replace your iPod with one of the same colour, and as the mini is no longer manufactured, it's likely to be a refurbished iPod.

  • How long does express replacement take for an Iphone 4s??

    My iPhone 4s broke today, and I called for an express replacement for it. They charged $30 for it, and put the order in.
    The representative failed to mention what I'm supposed to do and how long it would take for my new iphone to come in. I also failed to ask him these questions, I dont know why..
    So how long will it take for my new iPhone to come in, and what do I do with my current broken iPhone once the new one does come in?

    Instead of waiting here for a response, why don't you just call them back and ask?

  • How long does product replacement pending for iPhone 4S take????

    You will need to contact Apple support, or the service center to which you sent/gave the iPhone, and ask them. We're just fellow users here and would have no idea as to status.

  • How long does the average iPod touch last?

    Not the battery, I mean the actuall iPod. How long does the average one last before it dies? How many hours?

    Judging from this support site, the average iPod lasts until it falls into a toilet.
    Each of my first, second, and third generation iPod Touch models are still working flawlessly. That's thousands of hours. Like Macs, they typically become functionally obsolete before any particular hardware failure ends their life.

  • How long will apple replace chipped cases?

    I have an '08 white macbook with the 2.4 GHz chip.   Well over time (like every other macbook) the palmrest has chipped.    I've never really worried about it but my daughter is starting to use the computer a lot and I'm a little worried that A. she could spill a drop or two of water on it and it could get through the crack into the case and ruin the computer.   Or B. that she'll cut up her hands/wrists on it.
    Like I said its never been a big deal.  Somewhat annoying and of course I'd prefer to have it fixed.  
    The machine is out of apple care warranty. Didn't buy the extended apple care in the first place.   
    Will Apple still repair this or am I too late?

    They will still repair it but you'll have to pay the full price. I forgot how much but it could be around $400 to $600. And when I worked for Apple I know that they order the parts first then call you to bring in the computer when the parts arrives instead they keep the computer for the entire process. They should only keep it for 1 or 2 days, but check with them as every Apple Store has different amount of clients that needs support.
