Ipod touch 4g dock and lcd repair/replacement costs

I have recently broke my ipod's lcd screen in a unneccesary attempt to repair the dock connector. I am concerned that it may have voided my warranty, and I haven't taken it apart fully. I have found out the answer to why my ipod stopped syncing about 2 months ago and has recently been unable to charge because I attempted to get the metal prongs back in place, which may have also voided my warranty. I bought my ipod touch in April 2012 and it broke in December to the point where it is unusable. My budget is pretty flat and i'm wondering how much the repair cost would be and if I should consider buying a new ipod touch or getting the one I have now repaired. I cannot find any place where I can get it repaired at a discount price, and I'm also wondering if I can get my ipod repaired at no charge since it is still less than a year old.

I am replacing my ipod touch today. I backed up the apps into itunes and they now sit in itunes>library>apps. How can I transfer them to the new ipod touch? Everytime I attempt to move the apps, i get a red circle w/ line thru it and I can't do anything. They were purchased by the same user ID as the computer uses, although the computer is new also? any thoughts? Thanks

Sync the apps to the iPod via iTunes. Make sure that the apps are chaec to syc and the proler boxes checked in the Apps pane for the iPod in iTunes.

I had an ipod touch 4th gen and used the apple universal dock to play music through my stereo. I just got a 5th generation and a lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit the universal dock. Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

That is the adapter I purchased from Apple which does not fit in the Apple Universal cradle (which apparently is no longer universal). However, I just created my own solution. The cradle holds the dock connector at a slight angle so the adapter, which has a straight bottom edge, will not slide down far enough to make a connection. Since the adapter has a plastic case, I used my Swiss Army knife to whittle it down to fit. It's a no-tech solution, and free!

My ipod touch was stolen and i need the serial number but i dont have the paper work on it or the box so how do i get it

my ipod touch was stolen and i need the serial number but i dont have the paper work or the box, so how do i get the serial number?

If you registered it, Apple can help you. Give them a call.
Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

She has had it for about 6 months and this is the first time we have plugged it into the computer since then. I can not exit out of itunes either.

If you still have the problem after retoring the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod then The iPod is likely defective and replacement is required. You can make an appoinment at the Genius Bar of an APple store or take it back to BestBuy if within warranty

I have an ipod touch (4th gen) and just bought a clock/charger/player. It says I need ios 4.3. I keep getting a message saying I can download 6.? but it will wipe out everything on my ipod. Is there a way to get the ios without wiping out my files?

There is no supported method to "downgrade" iOS on any device. If you update, you will get the latest iOS for your device, which will be iOS 6.1.3. You cannot go backwards to iOS 4.3
If you have never backed up in either iCloud or iTunes, then upgrading to iOS 6.1.3 will involve restoring your device as part of the upgrade. Without a backup to restore from, you will loose everything that is on it.
You should first connect to iTunes with your computer, sync your device without upgrading and create an up to date backup of everything. Then use the upgrade option in iTunes to update your iOS.
However, if the dock device strictly requires iOS 4.3, it will not work, as you cannot downgrade iOS. There simply is no mechanism from Apple to do that.

IPod Touch 4G Dock Connector

Is is possible to use the new Touch 4G dock connector with Bose Sounddock Speaker systems? I can't get it to connect to my Bose Sounddock 10 or Portable. The dock connector seems way too tight, I'm not used to having to force any iPod to get it connected. Currently, I can only connect the Touch to things using the USB cable. Is there a trick that I'm missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd hate to have to return this but if I can't use it with my speakers then back to Apple the two of them I bought go.

Hi, please help me, you seem to be the only solution for my problem in the whole internet... I am having the same issue with my brand new iPod Touch 4th gen. And as you said, I noticed that annoying ¿plastic? in the iPod's connector dock. So, how did you manage to move that piece apart of its place? I'm trying with some sort of needles, but I did not succeed. Once I move it, should I place the iPod in the dock and leave it there all night? It comes to my mind, that if i do this, its probable that then, maybe, the dock will fit with no problems. Please help me, I'm kind of desperate.
PS: Sorry if my english is a little bit rusty, im from Argentina.

Ipod touch 4g dock adapter

I have recently purchased an ipod touch 4g. I currently use a universal dock and would like to use it properly with my new ipod touch. I have looked at the "Official" ipod touch 4g adapter and it doesnt seem to fit very well. I am wondering if there is a dock that will better support the ipod touch 4g? Perhaps the adapter from the 2g touch? If anyone has any insight it would be much appreciated

The Apple Universal Dock works for many generations of iPod Touch's.
If you purchased one of these newer models it should have come with the correct dock adpater.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC746LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MjAyNDIwNTA
The only thing you need to change is the adapter for the correct iPod Touch.
#16 dock adapter is for the 2nd and 3rd generation model.
#20 dock adapter is for the 4th generation model.
If you don't have the #20 dock adapter, they are available from Apple here:
