IPod Touch 1st Gen, Broken, with Product Service Plan. HELP, asap!

So, back in May 2008, I bought an 8GB iPod Touch. 
Along with it, I bought a 5 year Product Service Plan.
Now, my iPod has had a lot of problems even after factory restoring. 
I really want to get it fixed before I leave on a trip next month. 
BUT, I'm unable to find the original receipt.
Is there a way that Best Buy has my receipt on file [a credit card was used] and verify that I was the original person who purchased the product?
Thanks!

Yep. They can either look up the receipt by your CC# or you telephone number. Or you can wait and a community connector should be able to assist you.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

  • Device cannot be found - iPOD Touch 1st Gen, PC with Vista

    An application prompted me to upgrade my iPOD Touch 1st Gen to 3.1.2 which I did. A problem occured during installation. The iPOD now locked to an image with an Itunes symbol and a cable. The iPOD resturns to this image also if i reset the device.
    Neither PC or iTunes find the device. Any recommendation?

  • IPod touch 1st Gen. Headphone jack...HELP!!!

    So I had my 1st Generation iPod touch for years now. I actually kind of lost a few years back and now I found it (under my bed all along)! If you didn't know the 1st gen. iPod touch doesn't have any speakers so to listen to music you have to listen through it from a headphone jack. So I tried listening to some a-ha but there was no sound. I couldn't hear a thing. I started twitching my headphones a little bit and the music came but it was all clutter. Finally, after several minutes of twithing and turning...I could hear the song but then my headphones moved a little and the sound became clutter again. After more intensive tries, I came to the conclusion that the headphones have to be in a VERY precise location for it to work properly. I also used the same headphones on my laptop and they were flawless. So...how do I fix this problem and is Apple going to help me on this or do I have to buy something to fix this? Please help because I had this thing for a long time now and I really don't want to throw it out.

    If cycling the  plug n the jack does not solve the problem
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. However, it is not worth it for a 1G iPod
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more. Agin, not worth it.

    Replace the jack yourself

  • Will ipod touch 4 gen work with windows vista service pack 1?

    Will ipod touch 4 gen work with vista service pack 1?

    All Apple says is:
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    Does it work/sync with SP1?
    Why not update to latest Vista?

  • IPod Touch (1st Gen.) Video Problem

    I am using my iPod Touch (1st Gen.) with my 15" Macbook Pro. When syncing, iTunes recognizes all my songs and they sync, but it does not sync my videos (one of which was bought from iTunes). All videos play through iTunes so that's not a problem. I selected all the videos and selected "Create iPod and iPhone Version." This cut down about a gig of size but still doesn't sync.
    I also tried selecting "Manually Manage Songs and Videos" and manually dragging the videos into the iPod area. This worked (so I thought). The iPod recognized the videos on the computer (diminished the correct amount of free space, etc.) but when I look at my iPod in the Videos section, there are none available. I rebooted the iPod, still no luck.
    I'm lost- anyone have any ideas? Here's some extra information if it helps:
    -Running 3.0 on the iPod
    -Mac OSX 10.5.7 on the Mac
    -iTunes 8
    -16 gig iTouch (10.99 GB Audio, 102.4 MB Apps, 161.8 MB Other, 1.08 GB Free, 2.33 GB Video [Supposedly])
    If you need any other information, I'd be happy to supply it (other than my social security number, etc. ;))

    Why don't you post this inquiry to the appropriate forum mate?

    I have bought my G1 touch two weeks before the G2 and now I'm left out. I have a nano from 2006 and I simply put the dongle in it and it's working fine. The nano doesn't have a bluetooth internal receiver, that's why you plug the dongle.
    It that is the only thing you need the receiver for, why doesn't the Nike+ Sport kit work with the iPhone?
    So I should plug simply the dongle in the touch G1 and with the latest firmware be able to do the thing.
    That may be your opinion but it's not the way it works.
    This is incredible. You know, this is what Microsoft was doing and now Apple is doing it !
    Microsoft had products that worked with the Sport kit? Didn't know that.

  • Ipod Touch 1st Gen - Home button not working

    Ipod Touch 1st Gen - Home button not working. Warranty over. I want to replace it with a new one. Grateful if anybody helps me to locate apple's authorized service centers in New Delhi. Also please let me know how much would it cost. Thanks in advance.

    See:

    Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
    You can also go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn on Assistive Touch It adds the Home button to the iPod's screen.
    Yes, if you get it fixes, the iPod will likely be erased. Apple will not repair your old iPod, they exchange it for a refurbished one and do not transfer data.

  • Help. I can't update iPod Touch 1st gen from ios 2.1.2 to 3.1.1; already paid for it.

    Hi all,
      I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
      I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one  seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
      I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
      Can anyone help? Please?!
    Thank you!!!
    P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.

    Yes, I have contacted them. They are who told me to try a few of the "fixes". They actually said they had never heard of this error, or any problems relating to his download. Also, when I was talking to them, they came here to this forum to find the answer...:/ This is why I am asking here. I was hoping someone had an idea I hadn't tried already.
    Thanks.

  • Trying to get my ipod touch (1st gen) to upgrade to ios 3.1.1

      Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
      “SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
      Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:

    Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

    P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.
