I shattered the screen on my iPod touch 4th gen. Can I get it replaced and what is the price?

The screen is completely shattered. I was told that Apple will replace/repair for free. Does anyone know if this is true?

Unless you purchased the optional AppleCare+ warranty,
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for a n64 GB 4G and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.

  • I broke the screen on my ipod touch 4th gen and im trying to do a backup on the data but it says i need to enter a passcode on my ipod but the screen dosent work so what can i do

    hey i broke the screen on my ipod touch 4th Gen and im trying to do a backup on the data but it says I need to enter a passcode on my ipod but the screen dosent work so what can I do.

    You can't backup the iPod t iTunes then. You will have to use an existing iTunes backup.
    If iCloud backup is turned on and the iPod is still working (not disabled), the iPod will automatically backup daily if an internet connection is available and the iPod is connected to a charging source.

  • Can i get a free replacement for the screen of my ipod touch 4th gen if i go to apple store even though i bought my ipod in futureshop?

    I just drop my ipod touch 4th gen and the screen was crashed.. I am wondering if a get a free replacement in the apple store even though i bought my ipod in futureshop?

    Dropping your iPod s not coverd by the warranty. You'll have to pay for the refurbished device:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
    Out-of-Warranty Service: If your iPod requires service for any other hardware failure that is determined by Apple to be repairable, Apple will service your iPod for the Out-of-Warranty Repair Service fee.
    If you want to set up your iPod for the Out-of-warranty service, we recommend that you take your iPod to a local Apple Retail Store. Alternatively, you can contact Apple Technical Support.
    For more details, please refer to the Repair Pricing tab on the left.

  • Will Apple still replace the screen on my iPod Touch 4th gen.?

    I dropped my iPod and completely cracked the whole front of my iPod. I got it a Target a month ago and I lost my receipt. Will Apple still replace it?

    @lllaass I just cracked the screen on my Ipod touch 8gb 4th gen which i just bought wednesday from Target. However, I have one of those military grade portective films over it. Was that supposed to protect it? Not sure, but I also have another issue. I live an hour away from the nearest apple store and I don't want to make an appointment at the Genius bar and still have to pay. Should I just take my chances and schedule one? Or are there other places that might be able to replace it for cheaper? 

  • Line on the screen of my ipod touch 4th gen. Starts left of the screen as a blue (bright backgr) or red (dark backgr) line becoming white halfway and going across screen. Any ideas/solutions?

    I have an irritating line on the screen of my 4th gen ipod touch going left to right. It starts out as a blue line (with bright backgroung) or red line (with dark background). Switching backrounds will also switch the color of the line. Sometimes it stops halfway the screen. Sometimes the blue/red line becomes white somewhere halfway the screen and continuing as a white line to the other side of the screen. It mostly starts out as a normal screen and when using the blue/red line appears and when using some more the white part appears.Mostly in the beginning the line starts flickering and becomes more steady after a while.
    I have searched on the internet but can only find info on some pixels acting weird (stuck/frozen/dead pixels). This is a whole line of pixels not doing what they are supposed to do.
    Anyone an idea what this could be and how to solve it?
    Thanks,

    Did you ever fix this? My daughters is the same. Treated with tender loving care, we reset to factory and it disappeared but was back again after 2 or 3 days. Still in warranty so going to take to the genius bar, however a bit concerned that because it belongs to an 11 year old they are going to assume she's damaged it.

  • Can I fix the screen on my iPod touch 4th gen?

    The screen is basically spiderwebbed and I know that you can affordability replace yourself or get an expert to replace the screens on second and third gens. But can it be done with a 4th gen. and if so how much would it cost?

    - To fix yourself see:

    It says where to get parts.
    - Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.

    the white screen on my ipod touch 4th gen is white with some skiny colored lines can someone help please

    - Try:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.
    - If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • TS4062 My daughter's ipod touch 4th Gen cannot sync over wi-fi and cannot be seen in the devices section of itunes for windows.

    My daughter's ipod touch 4th Gen cannot sync over wi-fi and cannot be seen in the devices section of itunes for windows.  I have gone through all steps of the troubleshooting guide.  All of our other ios devices are wi-fi sync-ing fine.   Can anyone help?
    Not sure how long this has been a problem.  Kids are young and I manually manage most things but recently having music synced is an issue.  All software has been kept up to date.

  • What is the highest ios an ipod touch 3rd gen can do up to?

    what is the highest ios an ipod touch 3rd gen can do up to?

    Like Ralph Landry1 said
    No one can predict the life span of a particular device, there are too many variables to consider.  Such as, how well it is treated, how it is charged, used in a case, exposure to heat and cold, and on and on.  If you treat it well, it should last for years.
    iPod Touch has a 1 year warrenty, but with the AppleCare Protection Plan, you can extend it to 2 years. Even out-of -warrenty, its still useful. And please follow through what Ralph Landry1 said.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
