Ipod case becoming seperated between white and metal seam..what to do

I have had a video ipod for 4 months now and am noticing that in the upper right corner by the headphone jack the case is loose and the whole upper and right half of the ipod comes loose. I can see inside the ipod and i am worried about further damage being caused because of this defect. What should my next course of action be? There is not an apple store within 100 miles and I obviously want to protect my 400 dollar investment

Why don't you give apple a call...

They will say that you are out of your 90 days worth of free phone calls or whatever, but quickly say what is happening and if you should send it in.
If they won't listen, then you may want to send it in...

  • When I turn on my ipod touch the screen goes white and stays white.

    When I turn on my ipod touch the screen goes white and stays white.  It plays but all I see on the screen is white.  I cannot change anything.

    It iTunes is asking to enter the passcode then:
    - A data recovery company may be able to help
    - Restore the iPhone from the backup of the iPod. You can then get the data off and then retore the iPhone from the backup of the iPhone.

  • I think a pin inside my ipod has become a bit loose and now my iPod wont charge

    Hello There
    other the past weeks my iPod has become very unreliable at charging. it was not until today that i considered looking into the charging port! for weeks ive just been blowing in it! a few of the pins inside my ipod charging port (i think 2-3) have become a bit... loose and some seem wonky. i take a great amount of care with my iPod and will apple be able to service it? thanks
    Pete

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    If not covered by warranty
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 Gb 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • Gap between glass and metal band.

    I have a really thin gaps between the glass and metal band in the upper front and back right corner, and was wondering if anyone else has noticed small gaps between the glass and metal band anywhere on their phone. ive had nothing but crappy customer service at both apple stores near me, but was eventually told by the "genius" that i could come back with another appointment before the 30 days and swap for a new retail phone in the box.
    The only thing that worries me is getting a whole new phone with more different problems then the one i have with only the gap issue. The "genius" also told me that im the first one that has had this issue, yet ive seen threads about a month or so ago with people saying they had the same issue. so as an update, has anyone noticed this now?

    ya, but this isnt the first time ive had bad customer service with apple. Granted it was a different apple store, but about 3 days after i bought the phone i made an appointment, and took it in for the same separation issue. This time the guy seemed almost clueless as he had to ask his co workers questions i was asking him. Thankfully a manager overheard the situation and informed him that it was an issue that needed to be taken care of. So the guy goes to the back, comes out with a phone from the black box (At the time i had no clue of how the black boxes worked), and i ask if it was a new or refurbished phone, and he assured me it was a new one.
    So after inspecting the phone i noticed another gap in the glass and told the worker and he replies with "its not that bad, i dont think yours was that bad either". after seeing the same issue and getting his response, i decided to just keep mine and make a different appointment at another store (Today). Oh, might I add that after we leave the store, my girlfriend tells me that as i picked up the phone to inspect it, the guy rolls his eyes. Just experiences like these leave a biter taste in my mouth. its sad that a couple experiences from non corporate workers would make me start to dislike a company.

  • After installing itunes every icon on my screen becomes an itunes icon and no matter what you hit only the itunes page appears.

    I have a Dell 570 PC.  I use internet explorer and Yahoo.  When I finish installing iTunes every icon on my screen becomes an iTunes icon. No matter what icon I hit only the iTunes page appears.  Help

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Your MacBook already comes with iTunes. What iTunes is telling you is probably to update it to the most recent version, so open  > Software Update, and install the most recent iTunes version, in this case, 11.0.4.
    Enjoy your new MacBook Pro

  • What is the difference between AXIEM and EMSIght? What are the advantages of AXIEM over EMSight if any?

    I am wondering what the differences are between AXIEM and EMSight. Are they application related? Is one better than the other one? Please explain.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    AWR considers AXIEM the most powerful planar EM simulator around.   AXIEM is the focus of continual research and improvement while EMSight is only worked on if serious deficiencies are found.  Here is a summary of the differences:
    Meshing
    EMSight must mesh the grid nearest to the conductors using rectangles.  This causes the mesh to have more mesh elements when there are small and large geometries.  The grid must be small enough to capture the small geometry but then causes the large geometries to be over meshed.   Additionally, angled or curved structures causes meshing inefficiencies.
    AXIEM meshes the shapes, rather than a grid.  Additionally, the mesh can be rectangle or triangle.   This allows for a much more efficient mesh.   Typically AXIEM will have a much more efficient
    AXIEM contains the ability to process shapes to clean up geometries that cause mesh inefficiencies.  EMSight does not contain this capability. 
    AXIEM can mesh shapes as thick metal, EMSight cannot and user's must make approximations when  thick metal will change coupling (loss is accounted for properly with metal thickness)
    Ports
    Ports are mostly similar but the parasitics due on AXIEM ports are less.  Additionally, AXIEM doesn't have a side wall, so the effects of not moving the reference plane from the edge of the line are much less in AXIEM.  
    Ports can be added at most any location in geometry with AXIEM.  For EMSight, ports are usually only added on the outside of the geometry and have limitations to reference planes per side of the enclosure.  
    Solvers
    EMSight does not have a low frequency solver.  It will go low in frequency and then extrapolate to DC.  This usually works okay, but you must be aware of if the extrapolation is accurate.  AXIEM has both a low and high frequency solver so will do much better at lower frequencies an usually much better at DC.   
    EMSight's solver scales O(n)^2 for memory and O(n)^3 for time.   It does have a special algorithm to break up the memory issue, but the time issue is the killer.  AXIEM has a direct solver which scales similarly and an iterative solver which will scale O(nlogn).   Said another way, AXIEM can solve much large problems that EMSight.   
    More of AXIEM's processes are multithreaded than EMSight.  
    Enclosure
    EMSight is inside a perfect conductor sidewall.   This works well if you circuit is in the same cavity.  If not, you must know the rules of them on how far to space shapes from the sidewalls as well as how far to extend the port deembedding reference planes.   AXIEM does not have this enclosure.   AXIEM does not currently have a good way to simulate a perfect conductor sidewall.  
    I am sure I missed some aspects of the tools.   From AWR's perspective AXIEM is the tool of choice except in a few rare circumstances were EMSight might be needed. 

  • Suddenly my entire screen now has little dots on it that flash back and forth between pink and blue. What's up?

    I was online (on Facebook) when suddenly my coputer screen developed these little dots--uniform across it not just in a browser window--and they started flashing back and forth between blue and pink. The computer froze up and I had to reboot. It hasn't gone away and it's terribly annoying. What should I try to do?

    It may be a problem with your video electronics - possibly heat related. Shutdown the PB & leave it overnight. Then startup & see if the dots appear.

  • Ipod classic not connect the computer and not load, what do I do?

    Help me please!

    Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB port on your PC?  Preferably a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC and not a USB port on the front or via USB hub.
    With the iPod still connected to your PC, try a hard reset.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, see this article for more troubleshooting suggestions.

  • T420: Button in between "volume" and "ThinkVant​age" -what does this do?

    I can't figure out what the button in between "volume" and "ThinkVantage" on my T420 does.  I've never seen the symbol before, it looks like a diagonal rectangle with a circle at the top.  It has to be important if it got its own key, but nothing happens when you press it as far as I can tell.  I feel like I'm asking Mr. Obvious from Bob and Tom...
    This is what the key looks like.

  • MBP constantly switching between charging and fully charged, what's wrong?

    My MBP is constantly switching between charging and fully charged. The mag safe connector flashes orange for a bit and back to green. The same goes for the status in the tool bar. Originally I thought it was the mag safe so I switched it up to my backup mag safe. I was fine for about a day until the same problem appeared. Any thoughts?

    If your MBP is one of the early 2007 models then most likely it has the same battery problem that others have had, as did mine. Look at the support page on apple.com for info on these issues.

  • IPhone 5 - gap between display and metal frame

    Hello, I have an iPhone 5 black and I found out that on top between metal frame and display is a gap where I can fit a paper. Is it okay? What should I do?

    Have the same issue & plan to send to Apple to replace/repair. Was wondering if you know by chance how long this fix will take?
    (Tried to reopen my support case to ask Apple directly but it keeps failing to open)
    Thanks.

  • Ipod 5th generation screen is white and black

    I can't see my music selections or any memu items (i.e. music, artists, song names, albums, etc). The screen is white on the left 3rd and grey/blackish on the right 3rd. I can hear music out of the headphones so I know that is working, but can't see the display. Any thoughts?

    I do not understand. Does the iPod work OK?
