Ipod Touch - new out of the box - 3 years old

I was given a new 1st gen Touch (16gb) almost 3 years ago but never opened it (lost track of it when we moved, then just stayed with my nano). Opened it tonight, plugged it into the USB port of my PowerBook, but it was just kind of sitting there. Did a reset and iTunes 7.7.1 tried to work with it but then says the Touch is defective. Is this just a battery issue? Can a new Lithium-Ion battery sit for three years then charge up like normal? Should an overnight charge do it? thank you.

As this is the first time using the iPod Touch I would charge it overnight and if it functions I would upgrade it to iOS3. You can do so here:

You will need at least iTunes 8.2 for iOS 3.0.x.
All batteries have a shelf life. At least give it a go.

K430-31092SU new out of the box has no audio.

K430-31092SU new out of the box has no audio. The real ports for audio (green port on back) headphones and microphone (black and pink ports front or back) when a device is plugged in it does not pop up on the task bar. Under the Manage Audio Devices > Sounds, the level meter indicates sound is playing but nothing comes through the speakers or headphones. The video graphics card is connected to a ViewSonic 1080P LED monitor with built in speakers via the HDMI cable. Sound comes through the monitor speakers when selected but cannot get any sound from the green audio port internal to the motherboard. Tried unplugging the HDMI cable connected the VGA, same results, no sound from the speakers.
Tech support remotes in and does everything I have already done with settings and drivers so they determine that the motherboard has a hardware failure and the machine will have to be returned. The tech was very easy to communicate with and I was given a case number to talk to the After Purchase Department and they say it will take 4-5 business days for them to contact me to start the process of returning the PC. WHAT? Start the process!
Every third day I have called Lenovo and every time they say it will be 4-5 days for someone to contact me. The last time I called they told me someone would call that day. Needless to say I have not heard from anyone.
Will reply later as to when I get instructions on returning the defective K430 and get a replacement. The Lenovo experience so far has been extremely disappointing.

I always wanted a lenovo and got one couple years ago and was very disappointed at their battery. For a netbook they wanted 178 bucks - still do. They are looking heavily to their bottom line in my mind. I bought a desktop shortly after and had pains plus but it wasn't all their fault. I just bought an all in one and it will definitely be the last unless I seem them turn around soon. This board is full of people with problems and no solutions.
Mine, the touch screen is incompatible with windows 8 yet lenovo was pushing upgrading to windows 8. Not wise in my mind but that is the way they are functioning right now. I called about another problem and was told three times someone would call within the day - never happened.
I must say the older two are great machines after I got them running smoothly though little to no help from lenovo.

Any idea when we will see units new out of the box without a scratch on iPhone 5?

Any idea when we will see units new out of the box without a scratch? I was out at Apple to pick up my iPhone 5 in black on Oct 12th. I opened the box in front of an Apple technician and there was a scratch on the edge. So I told her I didn't want a scratched iPhone. So she returned and brought out another phone. Well, she couldn't get it to a accept the new iPhone because there's a 24hr waiting period when you make a return. This is Verizon's policy, but of course we didn't find out until 2.5hrs later.
So she says you'll have to return but we will hold this phone for you. I was disappointed after being there for a total of 3.5hrs and no iPhone. I returned on Saturday hoping the next iPhone didn't have a scratch. I opened the box and there was a scratch! I live 40 minutes from these store, so it's not close.
I have an iPhone 4 that's in excellent condition! I don't want a new iPhone 5 with a scratch, unless its a scratch caused by me.

Ipad wont turn on? It is brand new out of the box!

ipad wont turn on? It is brand new out of the box! What should i do?

You are holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad in the upper right corner - and waiting until the Apple logo appears?
You could try charging the iPad as well.

Trouble with log in after my brand new, out of the box computer, sleeps.

I'm having trouble logging in after my computer sleeps, I cannot directly do so even though my user account option is displayed. I have to "choose another user" and re-choose my user account. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know if it can be fixed?
Info: Computer is brand new, out of the box today. There are 4 other accounts set up on the computer.

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

HT1212 My daughter's ipod touch is disabled for the next 43 years. Any hints on what she may have done to cuase this and how to fix it?

My daughter's ipod touch is disabled for the next 43 years. Any hints on how to fix this? I have followed the steps listed on the apple website to p lace it into recovery mode, but the ipod is now "stuck" on the connect to itunes part. Thanks!

Sounds like a case of entering an incorrect passcode over and over. Only fix is to follow the instructions in that article you reference, HT1212, and it may take a couple tries to get it to work right.

Does anyone know when do the latest iPod Touch ship out in the US?

I pre-ordered the latest iPod touch (blue) and it's been close to a month now. Still no word from Apple on when they're going to release it for shipping here in the US. Does anyone know when in October is it going to be released?

I know the pain of waiting. I waited 2 months for a liquid-cooled PowerMac G5 after they were introduced. They had issues with leaks.
I read there are quality control issues with the new iPhone 5. Some new units out of the box have nick and scratches in them. They are probably trying to rectify that for iPods too, and that may be slowing production.

How do I start over and bring my MacBook Pro to a brand new out of the box state?

I have a MacBook Pro with Retinal Display purchased in June 2012. I have backed up once using Time Machine. How do I put it back to the brand new just purchased out of the box state? Any ideas? I have done this with windows computers, but never a Mac.

To restore your MacBook to factory settings, you have to use Internet Recovery. Follow the steps:
1. Press Command, Option and R keys while your Mac is starting, and open Disk Utility.
2. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
3. Close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. This can take hours because your computer has to download OS X from the App Store.
After restoring the computer to factory settings, open App Store > Purchases to download iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand

Brand new out of the box toshiba c640 wont start help me pls

Hi everyone I just bought a brand new toshiba c640 and straight from out of the box it just wont start. nothings happening.
when we tested it at the shop it was working but when i tried it at home nothing happened.
its just a blank screen. no sound at all.
when i press the power button the green light turns on and thats about it.
the screen is blank. no noise whatsoever from the hd
please help i just forked a lot of money for this and i bought this because i need it for a presentation tomorrow its 3am now and im very very frustrated

Try a proper system reset. Power off the laptop, unplug the AC from the unit, remove the battery, press and hold down the power button for 30 seconds, replace the battery and AC, power on, when you see the Toshiba logo, press the 'F2' key to enter theBIOS Setup, in setup press 'F9' to load setup defaults, press 'F10' to save and exit, and then to boot into Windows.
Please let us know what happens. Good luck.

New out of the box MacBook Pro with Caps Lock/Num Lock lit keys

I just set up my brand new MacBook Pro 15" laptop and, right out of the box, the Caps Lock and Num Lock keys were lit up. I didn't think anything of it, and transferred all my user files from my old PowerBook G4. Well, they 2 keys seem to be working in reverse. When Caps Lock is lit up green, all characters are in lower case. Same as Num Lock. Any advice? Do I have a lemon?
Thanks!

I've also had this problem twice over the past couple of weeks.
I have a theory that it has something to do with plugging in my USB mouse during the system boot. A reboot cured it both times though, and it's not gotten tot he point that it's annoying enough to investigate further.

My usb ports are not reading anything in plug in. new out of the box iMac

i just took my mac out of the box and the usb ports don't seem to be working. i plugged in a gopro and an external hard drive. neither will show up anywhere.
there is power going to them. what might be wrong?

Worth a shot. Whats the harm.
I'd not recommend it on a brand new Mac. That should be considered DOA. See this caution in this article:
an SMC reset should only be attempted after all other standard troubleshooting has been performed.

Will Apple replace my Ipod Touch 5g, Even if its over a year old?

I have an iPod touch 5g, which i bought in January of 2013. This iPod has been malfunctioning for a couple of days now. I connect it to a power source since it indicates its low on battery. When I do, it turns on, however, it will not charge much and the battery will continue to be red on the top right hand corner of the screen. I have an app which helps indicate around how much battery the iPod has. This app says that the iPod never charges past 15% and if i disconnect it, it shuts down. If the problem is in the battery, and it's a hardware problem, will Apple replace my iPod? Can they still do it? It is over a year old, but after all, i paid for a product that would last longer than a year and a half, didn't I?

You no longer have warranty coverage. Whatever Apple will do you will have to pay for it since it is out of warranty.
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:

iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

Is 8GB enough for ipod touch. Want to buy for 10 year old, Is 8GB enough for ipod touch. Want to buy for 10 year old

Want to buy I pod touch for a 10 year old. Is 8 GB enough?

The 8 GB model only has a little over 6 GB available to the user. Video take up a lot of storage space and the 4G iPod has a video comerai. Some other users have postd that they wished that they have purchased the 32 GB model since ther are running out of room. I purchased a 32 GB model.

New ipod came locked out of the box

Battery is very low, but charging. Could that be why the device shows locked?
Will resetting / reloading factory setting fix this lock situation so I can use the device?

Perhaps. Try it.
Try cycling the Hold switch a few times.
Where is it showing locked?

Shuffle NEW out of the box, iTunes doesn't recognize it

Just purchased a new shuffle. We have other assorted ipods - two Classics and a Touch. I've been syncing them for a couple of years, and they sync fine. When I plug this brand new shuffle 2G in, itunes just does not recognize that it is plugged in, so won't prompt me to name it, etc. Should I just return it? By looking at the boards, it looks like this may be somewhat common. It is plugged into a USB, with the short cable that was provided with it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Also, we have a new desktop computer that this is all happening with. It's a Toshiba All-in-one... The other ipods sync and are managed just fine on it. I don't use the laptop listed at the bottom of the questions I post, but cannot figure out how to change that in my profile. I'm not using a Toshiba SatA665 laptop. I'm using a Toshiba DX730 64-bit laptop with Windows 7. If that matters. Like I said, it works fine for managing other ipods.
