IPod 5 replacement

So, I have an iPod 5th gen and the screen is broken. What do I need to do to get a new one from Apple? (Besides paying the Repair Price). Do I need to exchange it exactly where I bought it or have the receipt? THANKS A LOT.

No receipt needed and you don't need to go exactly where you bought it. Make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store.

  • New ipod to replace stolen one, current iTunes, PC laptop - not happy! Help

    Okay so here is my problem - I'll try and describe what I've done as best I can. I've been through all the Apple help and can't see any error message info like the one I've had.
    Recently got new 30gB black iPod to replace a stolen one. As they only come with USB chargers I decided to charge mine on my work PC computer which does not have any iPod/iTunes software (this is where I think it started to go wrong...)
    I then plugged it into my laptop with iTunes already installed from previous iPod. Error message came up on laptop saying iPod recognised, but there may be a problem with the new hardware and it may not work properly. Then the icon disappears and I can't access the iPod through anything - not seen in iTunes, My Computer - nowhere. Hmm...
    Incidentally my wireless internet at home is down and I can't get online on my laptop (which might also be part of the problem).
    However, I plugged the new iPod into a colleague's work computer with iTunes installed, it recognised my iPod, and I was able to register it online and give it a name. Tried it back on my laptop again to update my iTunes library and nothing. Incidentally I have got the latest iPod update on my laptop but seeing is it's not recognising it in the first place other than saying there's a problem, I can't do anything with it.
    I've tried putting the iPod into disk mode when attached to the laptop but it says Ok to disconnect, there's no other change in the screen. And I don't see a folder with an ! nor a sad face so all in all I'm totally stumped.
    Has anyone ever experienced anything like this before? I'm really worried about totally uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling because I don't have an external storage drive yet and I'm frightened I'll lose all my music.
    Please please please can anyone help? thanks x

    hiya!
    interesting. was the previous ipod also a video? the videos and nanos have more features, and that seems to make them a bit more sensitive to a slightly flaky USB connection than some other models.
    let's check to see if this is an issue for you:
    iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB
    ... i've also seen the Toshiba treatment work on a Dell (note that the video probably won't charge off the Dell if you try this).
    iPod not recognized correctly on Toshiba laptop
    keep us posted.

  • I have over 16,000 songs in my iTunes library so I manually manage the music on all my devices. I bought a new iPod to replace an older one. I'd like to transfer all 900 songs to my new device without having to handpick each song. Is there a way to do it?

    I have over 16,000 songs in my iTunes library so I manually manage the music on all my devices. I bought a new iPod to replace an older one. I'd like to transfer all 900 songs to my new device without having to handpick each song from my music library. Is there a way to do it?

    No. I have quite a few more 16,000, so I don't manually manage. Making playlists for each device makes things much easier to organize. You can create regular lists of essential tracks and smart playlists to automatically catch new content, top rated, most played etc. If you'd done it this way all along configuring a new or restored device would be the work of moments.

  • My new iPod nano replacement isn't syncing with all my songs...

    Like the title say, my new iPod nano replacement isn't syncing with a number of my songs. They aparently aren't the correct format, however they range from imported CDs to purchased music from iTunes... They all appear to be the same 'kind'. Infact, it looks like none of my library has synced. What could be causing this? (The library worked on two different iPod touchs and the 1st gen iPod nano)
         Thanks guys!
    -- I had an idea shortly after posting this to restore it to factory settings... It seems to have fixed it.

    Theis is the iPod touch forum. I requested moderator move your post to the Nano forum.
    BTW, my 7G Nano synces fine with my WIn 8 PC.

  • How do i get a shipping box for out-of-warranty ipod battery replacement?

    i have signed up online to have my ipod battery replaced. the pod is out of warranty. the email reply only tells me to pack it well because apple won't deal with it if it is damaged in shipment. the only instructions i have found in my search at the apple site seem to deal with apple automatically sending the shipping package for in-warranty pods.
    can anyone help?
    thank you in advance,

    Usually, it takes about a week from the moment you
    request the box till you have the iPod back.
    gee, apple acknowledged my request for a replacement on 0905, but i don't have a box yet.
    i called my apple store, and they also said that apple would send me a box.
    i just noticed that you said "from the moment you request the box." how do i request a box? i have only "ordered" the replacement battery -- apple terms it an "apple product replacement request."
    i guess i am impatient, but i'm beginning to feel that i am in the middle of a kafka novel.
    chris, can you think of anything else?
    thanks.

  • IPod Battery Replacement Service Chan

    As of 7.8.05, Apple changed its iPod battery replacement service charge from $99 to $59.
    Darn.....now i feel some regret from getting a Zen Micro, seeing as how the only reason i bought it was cuz its battery was only $40.

    There is also a company named iPodResQ that for $64 will cover the cost of overnight shipping of your iPod, replacement of the battery and then overnight shipping back to you. This is well worth it. Having just bought an iPod one month ago, I don't plan on this service for at least two years or better. With this service you get your original back. If you opt to send it to Apple, they do NOT necessarily send you the same unit back.

  • IPod Nano Replacement UK Shipping?

    Hey guys, new to this forum / community,
    I was enquiring about my iPod Nano replacement, I shipped it on the 3rd so a Saturday by Royal Mail UK and I havent got a response yet, its been 4 business days and Im quite scared wonder if its been lost through the post. if it has been lost through post and I have proof of postage how would I go claiming it?
    but anyway How long does the shipping take from Royal Mail to their HQ (Your personal experience)
    Thanks

    Wouldn't worry. Apple have been overwhelmed by people sending in their nano's and they are behind schedule.
    I have been waiting for my box to arrive for about 3 weeks now!

  • Can my ipod be replaced if it is damaged

    Can my ipod be replaced if it is damaged

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price if not under warranty or it was accidentally damaged like from dropping it. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

  • I didn't receive my return box from Apple for the iPod Nano replacement as promised within 2 working days, did anyone else?

    I didn't receive my return box from Apple for the iPod Nano replacement as promised within 2 working days, did anyone else?

    UPDATE. Just spoke with an AppleCare representative, Apple has been inundated with requests for these iPod Nano replacements.  They have fallen behind with sending out the return boxes in the 2 days they promised.  I was told to wait an additional 2 days.  She also said they were very surprised so many people still have their 1st generation nanos...
    We have been an Apple family for years and trust they will do the right thing, they have always surprised us with their professional customer service and expect this situation to be the same.

  • Mini Ipod Battery Replacement Trouble

    Hey guys,
    I bought a ipod mini replacement battery from this site:
    http://store.l-f-l.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi?pg=prod&ref=EC003
    I installed it carefully and everything just like the directions told me to and it looked great. But the only problem is the sound does not work, it works when i place it on one of my ipod music players but you cannot hear anything with it by itself and the headphones, and i know it is not the headphones because i checked it to make sure...
    Does anyone know what is wrong or what I should do?
    Mini Ipod (1st generation)   Windows XP  

    1. You will get back an identical iPod (same generation, same engraving, same color).
    2. The new iPod will be blank, so you'll have to put the sngs onto it through iTunes, like getting a new iPod.
    I hope this helps!
    By the way, it is a lot easier to read your post if you type normally, not in one very long sentence.

  • I accidently gave the wrong address for the ipod nano replacement is there any way i can change it?

    I accidently gave the wrong address for the ipod nano replacement is there any way i can change it?

    The passcode is set on your phone, not by Apple.
    If you're in the US, check craigslist for people who fix screens.   Here in NY they go for about $80 and they come right to our office and do on the spot.

  • My daughter dropped her ipod touch 4g into water. We bought a new one 3 days ago which she has dropped. The screen has smashed! Can we use the good screen from the water damaged ipod to replace the broken one

    Can anyone help please? My daughter dropped her ipon touch 4g into water which resulted in it being ruined. We bought her a new one three days ago and she has just dropped it and cracked the screen!!!
    Cany anybody tell me, are we able to use the perfect screen from the water damaged ipod to replace the broken one on the new ipod or, would the water damage have ruined the screen too?
    Thanks in advance

    Your very best option would be to take it to an apple store and exchange it for an alike model which can be a refurbished, or new unit. The repair/exchange price is about 99USD.  http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&viewlocale=en_US&geo=United_St ates&product=ipod&select=REPAIR_PRICING
