I don't have my iPod nano first generation because the battery exploded. How can I have it replaced in the recent iPod Nano Replacement Program?

I took the inflated iPod to the Apple Store where a genius said that the battery had expanded and it was no longer safe to use.  He said that sometimes happens with electronics and that I should dispose of it.  Although disappointed with that answer, I took it home where I then recycled it.  Anyway, now Apple is replacing this model of iPod Nano with the exact problem of problems with the battery.  However, I feel that it is a little late because the people who have already spent money replacing their exploded nanos have disposed of their first generations and cannot benefit from the program. 
Don't get me wrong, I have been extremely satisfied with Apple in the past and even in the present.  However, I am unable to contact Apple to get help with this problem since I don't have a serial number.  I'm frustrated!

Thanks!

  • My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..

    My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..
    So how do I create a separate I tunes on a PC which already has itunes... Or if not can I plug my iPad to the PC and use itunes on my iPad, and drag mp3s from a computer.
    I'm not sure what the equivalent of a desktop is on the iPad.. And I don't actually know how to use the icloud either...
    Can anyone start me off, given it have a iPad and use of a PC - not mine with existing iplayer
    I do have spotify soundcloud so I could potentially use these.. If there is a route of getting either mp3's etc to end up on my iPad or iPod.
    Kind Regards

  • Ipod nano 2nd gen, 5 years old, has short battery life. Can the battery be replaced? If not, does apple have a replacement program? how much?

    Details:
    5 year old 2nd Gen Ipod nano only works for an hour the most. Battery may be approaching end of life.
    Can this still be replaced? if not, what are my options? Does apple have a replacement program?

    Just would like to share with you, my experience with a friend's Nano with a smiliar problem
    The battery level could be too low to boot up the OS of the iPod, which even may corrupted (if you see a folder icon).
    The best way to fix it, is to connect it with different device other than your PC as it is likely not get charge at all, e.g.
    1. car charger
    2. ac charger
    3. ipod speaker dock system
    4. using firewire cable
    5. with a Mac computer
    The key is to charge the battery level up to the minimum for you to put your Nano into disk mode

    once you see the "tick" mark, connect it with a computer, and try to do a Restore for your iPod. In case you still do not manage to get your iPod to be recognized by a PC, I am afraid you have to connect it with a Mac, very likely it will allow you to do a Restore as I did last night

  • I'm from India and after update i can't turn off my 3G or i have the option to turn on/off LTE only. I don't want to be always on 3G because my battery is running out of life.

        I'm from India and after update i can't turn off my 3G or i have the option to turn on/off LTE only. I don't want to be always on 3G because my battery is running out of life.

    This is the same as what happened to customers in most of the rest of the world in a past release, and it's because carriers want to stop supporting older transport methods.
    There's nothing you can do about it other than complain to your carrier, as they're likely the ones who asked Apple to remove the option.

  • There are problems w/ my iPhone first generation w/ the new July updates.

    There are problems w/ my iPhone first generation w/ the new July updates. The phone runs slow now. Could not play certain songs on iPod. phone reset back to the home screen when I go to certain sites on the Internet. Use to be able to go on the Internet on the 7 train and the phone freezes sometimes.
    The thing that ***** is that if u don't have wi-fi u can't use the iTunes icon and utube is not clear. Utube ***** anyway. The thing that would make the phone offical is if the iPhone had cable tv.

    I hope someone can answer this one. My 1st gen was doing the exact same s*. and now it's completley dead. Even when you do a hard boot with both top and home buttons it gives you the apple of death. I've let it sit until the battery goes out.
    I'm a network analyst/engineer and I'm stumped. I've tried everything. I finally gave in and set up and appointment with a "genius." I have a feeling they're gonna have to replace it or something. It wont even register on a mac or win laptop to do a reset. I'm screwed.
    I expect to hear more about this issue. I almost thing the firmware might not be compatible with some of the hardware???
    might have to give in and buy a new one.....

    Your post is very confusing. It sounds like you want to run Windows 7 using Parallel's software. If so yes you need a full license of Windows 7 and will need to purchase it. Please follow the instructions in the manual you got when you bough Parallel's and if you have difficulty following them you can find support for their product on the Parallel's forums at:

    Just saw your post. Better late than never. You may want to
    consider GameBrix.com, where you can create Flash based, casual
    games using your web browser. No downloads are required. You can
    create a game from scratch using a library of images, sounds and
    game mechanics. You can also upload your own. The online script
    editor will allow you to view and edit the ActionScripts associated
    with each game mechanic. In short, a great way to ramp up on game
    design and build your own game without investing a lot of $
    upfront.
    BTW I am associated with GameBrix so any feedback is
    appreciated.

    Take it back to an Apple store genius bar and have techs check them...if defective they will replace.

    verify tthe issue is with the headset by trying them out in another device which use the std. 3.5mm minijack all computer does and mp3players and you name it
    if it's the headset then it's under the same warrenty rules as anything else and will be replaced in the same way you would an iphone or ipad

  • Why can I not update my iPad first generation to the latest software?

    Why can I not update my iPad first generation to the latest software?

    Which version of iOS is supported is a decision made by each
    individual software developer. If there is an app that is not available
    in iOS 5, contact the developer to see if they can provide a version
    compatible with your iOS.
    Perhaps one of these links may help:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • How can I stop iOS from opening a recently received message when I click on the messages app to compose an unrelated message to a different contact? I want to read it later, when I have time to reply, and I don't want to forget to go back to it.

    iPhone messages automatically open when I don't want them to
    One of my first ever flip phones had a wonderful function where you could choose a checkbox next to received messages to make them appear read or unread. This was very convenient for messages which you read, but don't have time to reply to immediately, and want to remember to come back to later.
    In contrast, the latest, greatest iPhone not only does not have this rudimentary message management function, but it goes one step further in the wrong direction. If there is just one received, unread message, and you click on the messages icon, the new message will automatically be opened. It is opened irrespective of whether you have time to read it right away, irrespective of if you simply wanted to compose a new message or go back to another already read message. It just opens the new one, and then you are in a position where you have to read it and respond to it right there, or risk forgetting about it and failing to reply to it altogether. I sometimes receive a lot of messages over a period of a few hours, so it is very easy to lose track of these half-read messages in the mayhem. I have missed countless messages because of this problem. Incidentally, if there is more than one received message, then the application doesn't automatically open any of them, which is much better, because you can at least choose when you want to open one of the unread messages. But ideally, you should be able to go through your list of received messages and check or uncheck them as read or unread at any time, so that you can easily find messages that still need to be replied to, or reconsidered.
    Does anybody have a solution to this problem? It strikes me as a simple data management solution that should be, but is not an option in the basic functionality of the app. Frustrating!

    Is this an IMAP account?
    If so, delete the messages in Mail from all folders and quit Mail.
    Go the the website and clear the messages from all folders there.
    Reopen Mail and verify the messages have been deleted for all folders.

  • HT1752 Hello. I have an iPod 5th Generationfor which I need a battery. How can I do this?

    how can i get a battery replaced for my iPod 5th generation?

    You have 3 different possible routes to go down.
    1. Send it to Apple and have them swap out the battery for a flat fee. See this page for more details.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipod
    2. Send into a third party service center who can do the same battery swap job for a little less.  Google for possibilities.
    3.  Purchase a replacement battery from an online dealer and swap it out yourself using the instructions over at http://www.ifixit.com/.
