IPod from 2006 just started melting while charging HELP

My sister and I both got iPods around the same time in 2006-2007, about 6 months apart. Neither of us had a warranty on ours after these incidents. She started to notice damage to her iPod about a year and a half after having it, took it to a Genius Bar in Minneapolis - said that charging it melted through the click wheel. They replaced it, no checking, no questions asked regardless of having no warranty. Mine (same model) also was having issues. Before it melted, I noticed it kept telling me there was an error and that it was corrupt. I restored it dozens of times to say the least, and waited in Indianapolis out of state for +40 minutes before they checked it, told me TO RESTORE IT, and couldn't do anything about it because they plugged it in and said it was probably an internal error.
Then 6 months later it started to burn while I charged it (while still being corrupted every other time I'd plug it in to iTunes) and there is now a crack that was not there before, on the screen. So everything is messed up, there is not an Apple store less than 4 hours away and I do not have the money to send it in to tell me it needs replacing.
Is there any way they would deny me to have it replaced unlike they did for my sister? I haven't been able to bring it in since then because of location and it is SO FRUSTRATING, because it is 3 years old, yes. But the fact that my sister had no warranty and they didn't even have to plug it in and replaced it, while mine says it has an infinite-long corruption and no one does squat.... Will telling them my sister's was replaced with a new one free off her warranty do anything? Because I am afraid they won't even replace it after 3 years and all of a sudden charging it just burns straight through the plastic... Anyone help?!

Try another Cable.
Are you charging from the mains..?

I am getting interference on my Ipod touch on music that I sync from down loaded CDs to ITunes on my PC. The music is clear when I play it on my PC but has the interference on the Ipod. This just started recently. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I am getting interference (scratching sound) on my Ipod touch on music that I sync from downloaded CDs to ITunes on my PC. The music is clear when I play it on my PC but has the interference on the Ipod. This just started recently. Any thoughts?

Thank you so much for the reply. I does not appear to be the headphones because I get the same interference sound from my Ihome radio when I dock by Ipod on it as well as when I connect the Ipod to the radio connection in the car. I have isolated the issue to the Ipod because these same tunes play without interference on my PC so something is happening in the sync process.
More thoughts?

Hi, this is amit from india. just started using iphone 4s. i am observing that when an incoming call comes, the phone smtimes shows two virtual buttons of red and green color so as to attend or reject the call. but smtimes it just shows green button with a slider to attend the call and there is no red button to reject the call. is it a bug or some setting?

Because it behaves differently depending on whether the phone is locked (in standby) or unlocked (in use) when the call comes in.

Just got iPod from servicing... refuses to charge

been attempting to charge my new (to me) iPod from the service center, (just got it today -_-) and nothing is working. USB 2, firewire, AC outlet, nothing is doing it. It just lingers at the first power bar and nothing else. Any ideas? I hate the idea of sending THIS one back to get another one... I've tried resetting over a dozen times, as well as reloading.

Same problem! It had been working fine but like I said in my previous post right now it's not charging and the battery suddenly ran down. Can anybody help? I mean last time eventually it started working again. But I am not sure why?
I bought it in Best Buy but now I've moved to France so I am pretty much screwed to get a replacement I think...

Why did my black macbook 2006 just shut off while gaming. it wont turn back on and the battery shows no charge when indeed it was charging

Black macbook just shut down while playing warcraft 3. It wont turn back on and has no charge on the battery ( it was charging just fine). Any ideas?

This can be caused by faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take the iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

IPod touch dropped on the ground while charging and now won't charge

Long story short, my wife was charging her iPod touch, one of our kids walked by and knocked the iPod to the ground and yanked the cord that was connected and now the iPod won't charge. If we wiggle the portion of the cord that's attached to the iPod (not the USB connected to the mac) it will make the sound like it is connected and then disconnects. We have found that if we sit the iPod a certain way sometimes it will charge but not 100% of the time. It almost seems like it is losing the connection in the cord but we have tried 3 different cords. Any suggestions on ways to make a tighter connection (think sticking the pencil in the old school Nintendo to keep your game cartridge to connect)?

Worste case, Apple shoud exchange yours for this price:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
This place does not mentions a dock connector replacement but you can call and ask them.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
You can Google fo others.
I would first make and appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to verify/determine the cause of the problem.

I have a click wheel iPod from 2006 and want a new armband for it. Where can I order one that I can be certain is the correct size? OR, how can I tell if the ones I see online will fit this older model?

I have a click wheel iPod from '06 and want a new armband for it. Where can I order one that I can be certain will fit this very outdated model??

I lost equipment due to lightening strike several years ago, which also had old equipment and was not available. I gave insurance images and provided original receipts (my purchases were made on Apple.com), and Apple provided electronic copies of the receipts. You may want to contact Apple and check, if they can provide a copy. Insurance may depreciate the original value. I was offered residual value which i used to buy newer replacements, and provided the receipts for replacements back to insurance.

Well here is all that goes
As you said you were pretty new
I suspect the following error done by most of the novice programmers in JAVA
Where is the Greeter class ??
ok may be you must have defined it somewhere else
Mostly the Java Compiler hasnt found out your Greeting class
Try locating that " Greeter.java"
or mention it in an other file located in the same folder as "Newprog.java"
public class Newprog
     public static void main(String[] args)
          Greeter myObjectGreeter = new Greeter();
          myObjectGreeter.sayHello();

My brothers ipod touch has just gone off. someone please help me?

Frozen or unresponsive iPod touch
Try this first...
Turn the iPod Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the iPod On...

HT4623 My ringer and music volume is very low!! The problem just started today can someone help?

Can someone one help me, I just started having problems with my volume. My music and my ringtone are very low!

As a first step, do a hard reset by holding down Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo on the screen. If a red power slider appears on the screen, just ignore it and keep holding the buttons down until you see the Apple logo.

HELP NEEDED ASAP! My iPod mini won't start up or charge

My mini which i purchased about a little over a year ago, won't start up. When i restart (menu+select), apple logo comes up for 3 seconds, and it dissapears with small "click" noise, and mini repeats this forever.
When i shift hold button on and off, the out of battery icon shows up, but i can't charge with power adaptor/car adaptor/computer (the charging icon won't show, and it repeats apple logo dispay i described above). i left it charged for 4 hrs, but it still shows out of battery icon.
I even opened up mini, disconnected the battery, and reconnected the battery again, but it just keeps doing "reboot attempt."
I've researched, and i tried reboot literally like 50 times, but it keeps repeating the above. i can't restore neither since computer is not recognizing.
and yes, i tried the battery drain for 24 hrs, and recharging.
The problem occured when i was listening to mini in my car, connected to car adopter. It froze momentarily (just for like 5 seconds) and then it began to skip the sound here and there (like damaged CD).
So i rebooted, and it won't turn on eversince.
I have the latest iPod update, latest OS, and iMac G5.
I've run out of warranty so i don't wanna send in for repair.
Somebody please HELP!!!
(and yes i've already checked the links
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983 )

If your warranty is expired then they won't send you a new one. That's the point of having a warranty, once it expires then there's nothing Apple can do about it. They give iPods a grace period of 1 year to malfunction, if the iPod does happen to screw up and not a year old yet then Apple does replace the damaged iPod and sends the customer a refurbished one.
Since you have no warranty you can buy another MP3 player (from Apple or whatever other company you choose). Apple does not sell new minis any more, only refurbished ones which are cheaper than new ones actually.

My iPod Touch 5g Battery would drop while charging

My iPod Touch 5g 32GB's Battery (which I got last year, March 2014) would drop lately whenever I attempt to charge. I have been observing it closely for two days: It would be charging, it would be connected - but the battery percentage would be dropping (i.e. at one point it will be 95% in a few more minutes it would drop to 93%)
These are the things to take in consideration:
I use the Battery Doctor app
The battery drop would often occur when the cable somewhat disconnects and reconnects
iTunes would reveal a message that the "iPhone couldn't be recognized"
I would "soft-reset" the device (pressing down the power and home button till it shuts down and powers up again with the Apple logo) and I would notice that the Battery Doctor app's charging indicator would have a significant change: Let's say, when I shut the device down it was at 90%, when I open it up again it would be at 95%, In two cases (yesterday and today), the charging would go smoothly till it hits 100% after the "soft-reset".
I couldn't tell if the iPod Touch's battery has the problem or its just the cable.
Hoping anyone could give me suggestions.
Thanks!

As your device is about to leave the one year warranty period, get your device checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store.
You can also contact Appel Support, they can check the battery life online.
iPod touch - Contact Us - Apple Support
And you really don't need 3rd party apps to keep your battery in good shape. Just follow the advice from Apple:

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
