In a curious iPod warrenty situation

I have a broken iPod that broke when it was under warrenty. I ordered the box to send it away to be fixed, but before I could send it I moved. I lost the box in the move long enough for my warrently to run out. I've since recovered it but the box has been damaged considerably. Thank god for the foam interior casing, my crap iPod is still in one piece. Now, since I ordered the box under the warrenty period do I have any sort of argument going for me to get another box and a freshy iPod? It was only working for 1 month!
-Sad

I'm in a similar situation. My nano screen cracked after 5 months of use, but i'm just now, 11 months after the warranty was purchased becuase although the iPod plays music, not being able to see my songs has become very inconveniancing. I am wondering what to do if my warranty ran out. My suggestion is to look and see if anywhere where apple sent you something to see if it has an Apple case number on it, to show that you started the long, ardous struggle to get a new iPod while it was still under warranty.

  • Apple Offices Messed Up My Ipod!! Please Help

    please can someone help me.
    I recenly took my ipod in for repair at my nearest apple offices. I was told that they cannt do anything with it as it has a large dent in the back of it and apple wont replace it due to the warrenty. But when i took it into them it was in perfect physical condition (except ofcourse the reason i took it there in the first place, which was the 'sad ipod' icon situation). Please can anyone help me as to how i can repair or replace my ipod.
    All replies greatly appreciated.

    Kayleigh,
    Bring it back your iPod to the shop and ask them to do the followin for you in order to fix the Sad iPon icon - hope that they will do it as they did a large dent in the back of your iPod.
    During the past month, I discovered a way to fix te Sad iPod icon situation, unless the HD of the iPod is damaged, but your need a Mac to fix the PC formatted iPod and vince verse. A sad Icon iPod would not get mount from the orginal computer, but interesting it is likely to get mount by connecting with a different kind of compueter i.e. Mac-Pc or Pc-Mac. I understand a lot of people do not believe of what I said. But ask the Apple's guy to do for you, as you do not have a Mac to fix it - it is really the case that I managed to fix some iPods in this way, following are the steps
    For iPod formatted with PC - and to be fixed with a Mac
    Put the iPod in Disk Mode then plug it with a Mac computer. It would got mount (few attempts please), the iPod will pop up on the Mac's desktop as a HD, go to Utility and open the Disk Utility, (you will able to see your iPod there), click your iPod, go to Tab of ERASE. choose the volume format of MS-DOS file system then click the button ERASE. Once it has being completed, reject your iPod and plug it with a Window PC, a window will pop up and indicate that it can't read your iPod and open the iPod Updater file, and do the RESTORE back in PC version

  • My Ipod Doesn't Work!!!!

    Apple really has a fantastic way of screwing their customers. It's amazing a company with this type of customer support can stay in business. Just got off the phone with technical support, after my second ipod in the last 6 months has broken for no reason. I asked them, is this normal? He responds "ya, ipods are build to have a life of about a year. Really? 300 bucks for at best a years worth of use? Good deal. Here is the best part. If you are under warrenty you have to pay $40 to ship? Have you ever heard of something that weights under a pound costing $40 to ship? Here's an even better thing about apples repair service. They send you a refurbished unit that inherits the old Ipods warrenty. Pretty brillant. They build an Ipod to break just before your warrenty expires. You spend $40 to get a new unit. But you only have a matter of weeks before that warrenty expires, and then guess what happens? You guessed it, your Ipod breaks again for no reason. What do they suggest? You can pay $265 to get that repaired, or you can spend $300 for a new Ipod. Great deal either way wouldn't you say? There website says award winning service. They must hand out their own awards. Like best service and support for screwing your customers. And of course they don't have an email option so you can send your complaints, because their mailbox would fill up to quickly to ever get a response. Cheers to Ipod for building garbage products, having horrible service, and yet still managing to sell millions of products. I wish I knew how they did it!

    Thank you for saving me the time to post my thoughts.
    iPods have some nice features, but Ill take less features to have something that is reliable and consistent. My iPod works like a charm for 3 weeks and is worthless until I scour the internet just to find a solution for something that honestly....NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED.
    Either Apple has mediocre production lines, or they are making garbage hardware so that one has to RE-purchase an iPod. Well, hopefully they would go with something other than an iPod. But, who knows. All I know is that I wish I had the $$ to spend so that I could either A)speak with Apple support over the telephone or B)replace my iPod (with something different).
    Its such a shame too, because I hear great things from Apple computer owners/users.

  • IPod folder structure and content doesn't match iTunes Library structure

    My iTunes Library has the following folders:
    Music
    Podcasts
    Audiobooks
    As expected, the Podcasts folder contains podcasts I have subscribed to, and the Audiobooks folder contains Audiobooks I purchased. So far, so good.
    However, in addition to CDs I imported, the Music folder also contains files originating from manual audio recordings I made via TotalRecorder.
    This is confusing enough, but in the iPod the situation is even more confusing, i.e. everything comes under Music, which has the following subfolders (among others): Albums, Songs, Podcasts, Audiobooks.
    The Podcasts and Audiobooks folders seem OK, but the Albums folder seems to contain not only the CDs, but also all the podcasts.
    And the only place I can find my manual recordings is under Songs.
    Any suggestions for bringing some order into this apparent chaos?
    Ideally I would like to be able to create a new folder called, say, Recordings, in my iTunes Library, and I would like my top level folders in my iTunes Library to match those on the iPod.
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions/comments.

    Which model of iPod do you have? I have a 160GB Classic (this forum) which _does not_ show Podcasts under the Music folder, and apparently does not have an option to do so. However, I also have a 5th generation 30GB video iPod, which does show Podcasts under the Music folder. Straight away, you'll notice that different modles behave differently, so we need to know.
    So, that's the first thing to sort out.
    Then, on your manual recordings, did you add all the relevant artist information to the file (i.e. the MP3 tags) when you created them? If not, that will be why they only show up in songs, (but there may be another cause too!). You can fill in any missing information by highlighting the song and clicking on *File/Get Info* and adding the info then.
    In the long term, the probably answer to your manual files is to give them their own genre and then search for them that way.

  • My iPod mini will just shut down..

    There are times I'll be listening to my iPod and it'll come on and say "No battery power left" and shut down, but yet there is about half of the battery power left. Then it struggles coming back on, but I eventually get it back on and it works just fine for 30 minutes or so until it does it again.
    Does anyone know what is wrong with it?

    Your situation sounds eerily similar to mine, and since I'm pretty attached to my iPod, this situation is kind of distressing for me, even though, to my knowledge, it's not too serious.
    Do you know how to reset your iPod? I do this to temporarily get mine working again. What you do is, once the iPod shuts off, you toggle the Hold switch on the top (turn it on and off) and then push down the Menu and select buttons (select button is in the center of the touch wheel) simultaneously. You have to hold them until an Apple logo displays on the screen. Then you take your fingers off and wait until you get a regular screen.
    You can do this either manually or automatically. If you try to reset by plugging in to a computer's USB port or power adapter, you may have to reset your time, date, and custom information. However, if you do it the way I described without plugging it in, you will retain more of your data (but it's always a good idea to check to see if anything's missing). Either way, your song data will stay, unless, of course, you plug the iPod into the computer with your iTunes database and you've altered the database's contents since your last upload.
    Really, it's much easier than it sounds--but as far as I know, it's only a temporary fix. If I find a way to stop this permanently, I'll let you know--and please do the same for me if you find anything.
    Thanx, and I hope this helps.

  • I can't Plug My iPod to my PC. Please Help!!!

    Dear Sirs,
    I have purchased an iPod 40 GB, serial No. JQ451JHPPQ7 in San Francisco in January 2005 and it does have a 2 Year Applecare Protection Plan for iPod.
    My iPod was working properly until today when I tried to connect it to my PC (Athlon 64 3000+) when, instead of the usual message, the computer recognized it as a removable drive only (not as an iPod) and it did not respond to any commands such as loading the contents with windows explorer or even removing the device from PC. Moreover , the computer also did not respond at all (hanged). However, My sister’s iPod (identical to mine) works properly and flawlessly with the same computer and ITUNES (both iPods do have the same software and have not been updated. The ITUNES software too was has not been updated. It is also interesting to note that my iPod works properly when it is not connected to the PC.
    I would appreciate it very much to advise me if there is anything that I should do to solve the problem.
    Thanking you in advance for your consideration, I remain,
    Sincerely yours,
    Mehrdad Pourfathi

    having the same problem. Ipod actually has somehow wiped all music off then somehow restored all 6910 songs. It has done this twice. The updater states that the ipod cannot be updated because ipod is busy with another application, but there are no other applications running. Itunes of course doesn't find the ipod. Windows recognizes the ipod as a removable drive, but I am unable to access it. What is going on. This is the second problem I have had with my ipod in the past two months. First ipod was replaced with the one year refurbished ipod warrenty. Any help would be appreciated

  • Apple iPod In-Ear Headphones

    Im leaning towards these earphones and I would like an opinion. There are many mixed reviews about this product and I think I can trust this forum. Is the bass quality good? Does it have a slight noise canceling effect? Please don't tell me to get other ear phones (shure, v-moda etc.) they are too expensive and in my opinon over-priced. I'm already spending ALOT on this new iPod (Warrenty + Case + new dock + soon to be new earphones = TOO MUCH MONEY)
    Oh and heres the link
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=DB1 04028&fnode=home/shopipod/ipod_accessories/shop_bytype/ipodtouch1&nplm=M9394G/C

    I like mine. I'm no audiophile but they sound good to me. They come in a Apple-esque case with space to store the earphone cable (about the same as the stock earphones) and the spare two of three sizes of earpiece to fit different ears. 
    They aren't very secure in the ears but I can and still use them for running. They do seal nicely when still and block out a good amount of ambient noise (I have to take them out to speak to someone). They seal better than my Phillips £35 of active-noise-cancelling 'phones. Perhaps my like for them is improved by the fact that I am typically sat still on night shift or at home when I use them and not on the move all that much. If you move around too much I can see they would get frustrating. To be honest they aren't worth the money Apple wants (£25) but I managed to get a new pair on ebay for £7 about a year ago and have used them nearly daily since.

  • Transfer of ownership/registration issues

    Can anyone advise on how to unravel the messy issue of transfer of ipod ownership, and problems with retaining music on the ipod while syncing with new itunes account.
    My partner wants to give me her ipod, and we want to work out how to register her ipod to me, and be able to sych to my itunes. But can we do that AND;
    1) retaining the music already on her ipod
    2) situation rather confused by the fact that she has 2 itunes accounts set up (long story, but we had our pc's stolen and rather than reactivate her old itunes account she set up another one!). So the ipod is synched to both her accounts
    3) she can't seem to have music from both accounts loaded onto the one ipod - is there anyway of doing that? She only gets the option of erasing what's already on the ipod and loading up the new account.
    4) what we were hoping was to load all the music from both her accounts, and then register it to me
    Any help, greatly appreciated!
    CT

    Thanks for your response Chris, but things don't seem quite as simple as you suggest (or perhaps I have't explained the problem properly!).
    Firstly, the ipod is already registered to her, but she no longer wishes to use it (therefore is prepared to hand over to me and 'close' her itunes).
    Second, you seem to suggest that there is no such thing as an "itunes account" - I'm confused! What I mean is we both have music loaded under seperate Apple id's (both burnt and purchased, on seperate computers). Her music is already loaded on the ipod. What I'd hoped to be able to do is sync to my itunes library, without deleting what's already on the ipod (while I realise I can't transfer what's on the ipod into my itunes library, I was hoping to be able to at least keep what's there on the device).
    It doesn't seem to be that simple. When I try to do this itunes warns me that to load my itunes it will delete everthing already existing on the ipod.
    It seems an "either/or" situation - we either keep whats on there, or sync to my library.

  • Currency problem on Task and Network

    Hello people,
    I don't know much about PS, I work with abap, but I'm curious about a situation thay's happening here.
    On a task, when we add a service (in the service add screen, the currency is fixed with one that's different from the Task) and we put a value that goes beyond the budget, the currency on the task is changed to the one on the services screen and is on a blocked field. This is normal?
    Other thing that I would like to confirm is if it's possible to change the currency field of a Network. It's being presented on a blocked field...
    Thanks!
    -h

    As suggested by AP, currency in services will be same as defined in network profile (check OPUU "Activities tab" for it.)
    i guess you can change currency of a network till it is not released.
    can you throw some more light on your first issue

  • IPhone Location Placement Way Off

    Greetings forum board,
    I drove to class this morning and when I went to use my phone to check in on Foursquare and it was placing me somewhere in Toronto, Canada.  Now while I'm sure Toronto is a lovely place, I'm actually in the south suburbs of Chicago.  Curious at the situation, I went to check other apps that use location services (google maps, regular maps, compass, etc.) and they are all placing me in Toronto.  Now as of last night this was not a problem.  I have tried restarting the phone, but to no avail.
    I know this was a situation that has happened before, but I was just curious if anyone else has been having this problem as well or if there's a solution I am overlooking?

  • Is this supposed to Happend To My iPad Mini

    Should I be concerned that my iPad Mini has like a burn in image of other apps that are not supposed to be there? Is this Normall

    I have a 30GB ipod Version 1.0 and model PA146LL. You answered my question about the slowness of the music loading onto my ipod. But when I plug in my ipod to charge it never says its fully chaged no matter how long I charge it and sometimes (after about an hour and a half) I unplug my ipod from the charger and its not fully charged. Other times when I am trying to turn it off it will not turn off. I hold down on the play button but nothing happens. I try to turn it off again and it will not turn off it takes about three or four times for it to actually turn off. That problem seems to come up a lot when I had just charged my battery. I want to send it in to get it fixed but when I read the ipod warrenty I realized that if they did not find a problem with it they would send me a fee of 100 dollars. I wanted to make sure that maybe these were common problems that you had to put up with or I have to send it in.

  • I'm considering buying airport express

    Hi guys/gals,
    I'm considering buying an airport express but have a few questions, I'd be grateful if anyone could help!
    Current situation is I have one of the new iMacs in my house currently not near a telephone socket at wall (hence my need to go wireless). I also have an iPod Hifi situated elsewhere in the house which I would like to be able to stream music to from my iMac. (The iPod Hifi just happens to be beside a telephone socket at the wall - if this is of any benefit??)
    My main concern is - does the airport express need another wireless router to access its signal or can it actually act as a router itself? if so, how do i connect to my internet connection?
    Am i correct in thinking I should plug the airport express in beside the hifi so as i can obviously run the audio cable to it and if the airport express does not need another router then I can just connect it to the telephone socket beside the hifi for the internet connection?
    I'm sorry if any of this is vague, any help would be appreciated!!
    Thanks in advance,
    Stephen

    I am using a Mac Pro with airport extreme card in it (the card was an option)- I suppose iMacs have this card built in as standard. If so go for it. (as to how to install the AE in your case check the manual - it's pretty straight forward)
    If you have a good hi-fi system (with a receiver having toslink connection) I strongly suggest you make use of the Airport Express toslink connector (you have to purchase the toslink cable (optical) cca 20 Euro if you do not have one already. The quality is unbelievable (use apple lossless codec for your files).
    I do not have a receiver but an external DAC (digital to analogue converter) connected to AE with the toslink cable. The DAC is connected to my hi-fi system by RCA cable.
    I just finished transfering my CD collection to an external MyBook 1TB USB 2 HDD (all files in Apple Lossless codec !) and believe me the quality is so good - I will probably never use my Hi-End DENON SACD player again...

  • Set iPhone on a new PC without erasing current data

    I have recently bought a new PC and will need to transfer my iTunes database from the old PC to the new one. I know how to backup my current iTunes and how to copy it onto the new computer, but my issue is with making my iPhone recognize my new PC as its "home" computer, rather than the old one.
    The problem is that I manually manage my music on my iPhone and have painstakingly added the proper album art and grouped all albums as their proper collaborations directly on the iPhone. I know that when I move my library to the new PC, the iPhone will want to wipe itself clear and sync, but since the iTunes library does not have the same playlists or album art, I will have to start all over with adding the album art, recreating my playlists and re-categorizing all the albums.
    Is there a way to set up my iPhone to recognize the new PC and still retain all its current settings?
    I know that making my current iTunes library match the iPhone and then moving the database to the new PC could possibly work, but I would rather not have to spend the hours making iTunes match the iPhone, especially when that would change the information on the other iPods I have associated with my current PC.
    Many thanks!

    The answer is no, with a possible exception.
    If not, why would you need to re-add album artwork? This should remain with each song in your iTunes library.
    Since the iPhone does not support disk mode as with an iPod, this situation is a downside when manually managing music. The same would apply when restoring your iPhone with iTunes if needed or wanted.
    If you make use of iTunes playlists and sync instead of manually managing music, this situation would be avoided and the same when restoring your iPhone with iTunes if needed or wanted. Syncing provides more options and flexibility and avoids this problem compared to manually managing music.
    If you copy the iTunes folder on your old PC and all music imported into your iTunes library from another source besides the iTunes store is in your iTunes folder, and place the copy in the same location on your new PC with iTunes quit when doing so, you may be able to avoid this. I did with a new computer purchase, but I sync.

  • Iphone will not sync to new version of Itunes 7.7

    Installed update to itunes and am now at version 7.7
    tried to connect my current iphone to sync, it brings up the Iphoto app to sync pictures, but will not bring up itunes and make a connection.
    Install went fine, no errors of any kind.
    Anyone have similar issues

    Same Problem here with my iPhone and my 5th gen. iPod. But waiting didn't help. I tried my iPhone twice for more than 30 min., but it didn't show up. Curiously iPod and iPhone just don't show up in my main library I usually sync my iPhone with and I have all my music in. They do show up in my audiobook and film libraries and my library on my girlfriend's Windows machine.
    So here's my little work around: I created a new library with my podcasts I regularly listen to and my iPhone apps and set my iPhone to sync these apps. If I want to copy new music, podcasts or apps, I import it in this temporary library and copy it on my iPhone. This works best with the iPhone set to manually copying music and videos. Otherwise you would need all the music on your iphone to be in this temporary library, too.
    By the way, if you set this new temporary library to sync apps with your iPhone, iTunes warns you the apps on your iPhone will be deleted and replaced with those of the new library. If these apps are the same, they won't be replaced and the data of the apps (your setup, username/password, copied files or whatever) won't get lost.
    There's another point: This beach ball thing happened to me after I set my iPhone from automatic syncing of playlists and videos to manually copying music and videos. So here's my question for you:
    What are your iPhones set to???

    If user comment has the word 'Agree' in comment notification will be sent. I'm wondering if it is possible to address relationship object. Actually get status of incident for which this comment is created. So I can make autoanswer for closed incidents.

    Hi Sergey,
    I'm just curious about the situation when a user writes "disagree". It also like "%Agree%" in the case-incentive search. The one way is writing a custom workflow to get the required result. You can monitor an event 'new comment', filter that, get a source
    workitem, an affected user, and send a message. The easiest way is using SCORCH (just a piece of cake there).
