Does anyone think that the iPod Apple Care is worth while? Thanks!

Thanks. You could say a little more about how you've found it worthwhile?

IPod Touch Apple Care

While I Was Jogging With My iPod Touch It Fell To The Ground And Now It Has A Crack In The Side Of The Screen.
I Have Apple Care I Was Wondering If It Would Cover My Problem. Also If I Brought My iPod To An Apple Retail Store, could i get a new one the same day.
Thanks!

I haven't used my iPod touch 4g in a while and now it won't turn on or connect to my computer to charge.

I haven't used my iPod touch 4g in a while and now it won't turn on or connect to my computer to charge. holding power+home isn't working either. i've had it plugged in for a while, but i'm pretty sure that's pointless if it won't even connect....help?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have an iPod Touch 3rd gen and while it is recognized by my laptop with Win 8.1, it won't sync with iTunes.

I have an iPod Touch 3rd gen and while it is recognized by my laptop with Win 8.1, it won't sync with iTunes. It worked fine while my laptop had Win 8 but after the update, it quit syncing. Strange though, I downloaded an app directly to my iPod and when I connected it to my laptop again (for recharging if nothing else), iTunes updated itself by including the new app. I also tried syncing wirelessly. Also unsuccessful. I'm about ready to change to an alternate to iTunes if I can't get this situation fixed. Anyone else have this problem and/or a solution?

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem

iPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it won't charge or be recognized in iTunes because it's completely dead; it's been dead for 3 days now. I've tried pressing home/sleep buttons for reset but nothing works, I've tried using different usb ports to charge it, but nothing seems to work. Please help asap. ...Thanks!(:

After charging the iPod for half an hour, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:

I lost my iPod touch 32 GB a month ago, and today I got a new iPod touch 64 GB. While syncing it with itunes, I got my music library, books and purchased items back, but I didn't get my photos and videos.How can I get my old photos back in my new iPod?

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

Is Apple Care worth it for me? Retina macbook - please help!

Hi everyone,
I'm new to Apple having just bought my first Macbook Pro Retina 13 last month and absolutely loving it!
My question is probably very similar to others but I'm finding contradicting answers everywhere - so is Apple Care worth it for me?
If it doesn't include accidental damage, and just software/hardware, then is there any need for me to purchase it in its first year? Or even 2nd year for that matter due to EU consumer laws?
What confuses me is that when I bought my macbook from the apple store, the employee told me a story of how a woman had just bought her retina macbook 2 months before hand & brought it in for repair as the screen had been damaged from her closing her macbook.. but she didn't have apple care so this cost her £800 to replace the screen - ouch!
But if she DID have applecare, how would this even be covered if it's only software & hardware and no accidental damage? Or are they just a bit more lenient when you have apple care?
Thanks!

Apple makes a profit from AppleCare; otherwise it wouldn't offer the service. On average, buyers lose money on it. Consider whether you can afford to be self-insured for the risk. Make sure you understand that it's a warranty extension and a support contract, not insurance against loss or damage.
If you choose to buy AppleCare, don't buy it at the same time as the Mac, and don't buy it from Apple. Get it from a reputable discounter such as LA Computer anytime before the one-year factory warranty expires.
An exception to the above rule is that if you buy an Apple display together with a Mac, you have to buy AppleCare at the same time in order to get coverage for both.

IPod touch apple logo screen blinking on and off

iPod touch apple logo screen blinking on and off, unresponsive to physical touch. Frozen without looking frozen.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

IPod touch won't charge while installed in vehicle through direct interface

Hello,
This just began happening about two weeks ago. The touch won't charge while installed in the car directly through the interface. I have tried three different set-ups so I know it is not the iPod cable or stereo. It seems to charge and hold said charge fine through wall plug or CP but while in the car it only seems to charge enough to continue playing and then when the car is off, it acts as though it is no longer connected and dies so when I start the car the next time, I have to wait for the unit to charge enough to play...
Oh and it is a 1st gen 8gb touch.
Is this the battery or a hardware issue with the touch itself?
Thanks for any help...
Nick

I have the same problem with my Audi and started when I installed the 3.0 update. Besides I can't use the Hi Fi Apple device, which I bought 3 years ago. I'm sure the update didn't take in considerations old interfaces and the HiFi.

IPod Touch Upgrade. Worth Cost? Risk?

Reading various threads here, it appears that:
1. The upgrade is not without glitches.
2. It does not have flash support.
So having not upgraded yet and having a fully operational Ipod Touch with the January Update, should I risk it and subscibe to the upgrade and hope all works well after.
Since there is no Flash or Flash support, what is the benefit to the upgrade?
Thanks
Jeff

As someone who had their IPT bricked, and the replacement refurb. go south you'd think I'd say no. Apple made it right and my second replacement is going great guns. I think sooner than later you will want to upgrade. The applications now available, even at this stage, should have something you will want. Even without a full-time network connection like the phone some of the geographic locations/social networking applications are really very cool. The WPA Enterprise support now will let me get on our university wireless (I'll see for sure on Monday). This was worth the upgrade alone, for me at least.
Really, this reminds me of the days of the first Mac computer. Lots of little free applications, some decent, some pretty worthless, but fun none-the-less. It gives me the old thrill just like seeing the Happy Mac Face the first time. Join the fun I say.
I'd say you can wait for 2.01 if you want to wait for the bugs to come under control. Or, if you go now pre-book a MacGenius bar appointment and cancel it if you don't need it. Chances are it is going to work.
Just know there are going to be bugs similar to the original OS software until the next couple of updates come out. I've seen mine spontaneously re-boot a couple of times after playing SuperMonkey Ball and re-boot while I was using Safari...memory issues?

IPod touch through car stereo

I have my iPod Touch connected to my car (Audi) through Audi's MMI interface. Since the 2.0 update, I notice that every time I change track, I get a burst of the previous track before the next track starts. Not a major problem, but a step backwards in the smoothness of operation I was used to.
Also - anyone know how to search Contacts with the 2.0 update? I don't seem to get a search dialogue box like they show in the Apple website.

As of iPod Touch 2G (and iPhone 3G) charging has been changed from either USB or Firewire to USB only. This has rendered many accessories that use the Firewire pins, e.g. car-cradles like my IceLink FM and music-docks like my JCL On Stage II, unable to charge the device.
There are so-called "Charge Converters" on the market for some 30 dollar. I use the Ridax Mini converter (http://www.chargeconverter.com/shop/connector.htm?connipod.htm) in my car-cradle because it was the first small one, but there are many others now. It's great to have the screen on, with all controls at hand, without draining the battery.
Good luck.

Ipod touch giving electric shocks while charging

While charging the Ipod touch 4g i am receiving a small current behind the back of the ipod touch. Its been a yeasr or so that i have this device and it started a few days ago to give electirc shock..
I am little worried about the ipod touch getting spoiled. please suggest for the necessary precaution..

Take it (and the cable you use to charge it) to the Genius Bar at your nearest Apple store. Have them evaluate it, and they can let you know what your options/costs may be for repair or replacement.

Incorrect ipod Touch "Apple ID".

The "Apple ID" on my ipod touch does not match the "Apple ID" on my itunes account. When I sync the ipod it does not change the ID. This problem does not allow me to obtain Apps because the two ID's do not match.
One day while purchasing Apps Apple suggested that I change my ID to my email address and this started the whole mess.I cannot find any info on changing the ID on my touch.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Bob

From page 169 of the users guide:
Sign in using a different Apple ID: Choose Store, tap Sign Out, then tap Sign In."

Ipod Touch only syncs apps while next, older touch syncs everything fine

Hi all,
Weird issue here. Don't know if it's an iTunes or Touch issue, but think topic is ok for here.
Both me and my wife have an ipod touch which we sync via the same pc (same iTunes), what worked out fine up to now. We have our own playlists we sync with the touch by selecting them in the music tab. These settings are equal for both, configured correctly, so iTunes knows it has to sync the music playlists selected. This works fine, as before, for my iPod. However for my wife's it does not anymore. The overview tab of the touch in iTunes nicely shows how much data is present in the selected playlists (little over 6 GB) and as said, the music tab is set such that it should sync selected playlists. The strange thing happens when actually syncing. It starts, syncs the apps and stops saying syncing is completed. No music, while everything is set correctly and recognized as such judged by the overview of data per type (i.e. apps, photo's, music etc.) in the overview. The one difference of today compared to the last time, when all was fine, is that I updated the software on my wife's touch. What can cause this? Any ideas?
Help appreciated; I can't see why it works fine on mine (older version touch), settings are equal, shows correctly in iTunes, but does not act like it when syncing.
Hope someone has an idea.
Thanks,
BMC

I have a theory that it's tied to Snow Leapord and/or iTunes, probably something Apple did to disable Palm Pre phones from being able to sync with iTunes. I've never seen that confirmed though, so it might nto be. All I know is I've been having this problem for a long time. I just tried iTunes 9.2.1 on my Mac hoping Apple had finally fixed it, but alas they didn't.
The solution I found? Get a PC and find an old version of iTunes. You give up some of the newer so-called features, and you've got to deal with a Windows box for your library, but at least the iPod will sync.
