Is it better to get an ipod repaired or just buy new? Want the most cost effective solution.

I have an Ipod Classic and a Nano that have issues. The Classic headphone jack does not work. The Nano only show the white Apple screen. These belong to my daughter who is very hard on her electronics.she is a runner and a gym rat. Would it be worth is to have them repaired or just to replace. she has a birthday and Christmas coming up. Will the Apple store people be able to give me a reasonable answer without pressuring me into buying?
Thanks for the advice.

Cost of repair is going to depend on whether you have Apple do the repair or a third party service. Here is a list of Apple repair costs for the different generations and models of iPods.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
Note that Apple doesn't actually fix the device, but instead does an out of warranty exchange for an iPod of the same model, capacity, and generation for a flat fee.
For third party service pricing, you'll need to do some of your own research. Just Google "iPod repair" and you should get back a plethora of results to work through. From there you can decide whether to go the repair or replacement route.

What is the most cost effective way to have a broken screen repaired?

What is the most cost effective way to have a broken screen repaired?

One thing to bear in mind, if your iPad is still under any sort of warranty, using any unauthorized repair place may void that.
So you may find less expensive places that are non-authorized, but once you use them, Apple disowns your device and if you have any warranty left, it'll be void.

I Need to know where i can get my iPod repair.

i Need to know where i can get my iPod repair , Because it doesn't show the display it just has a white screen.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Create an iCloud backup before sending it in for repair. Also consider making a second backup on your computer using iTunes (connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your iPod in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now. Also go to File>Devices>Transfer purchases). If you have photo stream photos that you want to save, save them to your camera roll before backing up and they will be backed up too.
When you get it back from repair, restore the backup as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766. Your iPod should then look just as it does now.

I need to get my iPod to no longer be associated with the original i store account. My husband set it up through his account but now I have my own account. I don't want to go through his every time I want to make a change. how do I make this change?

I am trying to stop using my I-pod under my husband's I-Tune account. It was set up under his account and the only way I can use it under my account is to erase all of the songs my husband loaded on for me. I had heard there is a duration that I-Pods are locked into to one account only, and I am trying to discover how I can use my account without having to erase everything on the I-Pod. I know it sounds confusing but that's the way I-tunes have set it up. thanks for asking.

How do I get an iPod touch to turn on other than the normal way. It has been dropped and all I can get is a blank screen. Have tried holding the HOME button down for 30 sec. but that didn't work.

How does one get an iPod nano to turn on other than the "normal" way? This one has been dropped and all I can get is a blank screen. I have tried holding down the HOME button to restart it but no go. When I connect it to my computer, I am told to enter the PASSCODE which I cannot do as there is no touchpad.

David ..
Your topic refers to an iPod touch
Then you say: How does one get an iPod nano to turn on ......
If it's an iPod touch, try a reset.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, whether it's an iPod nano or touch, it probably needs service > Apple - Support - Service Answer Center

Sounds like there is some discrepancies in the tagging in iTunes. See this page for more information.

Repair camera or buy new?

During a holiday trip to Italy, my trusty old Panasonic NV-DS38 PAL mini-DV camera broke down. It's from 2001 and it seems as it's the tape mechanims. It seems as it can't pull the tape out of the cartridge. Yes, I tried cleaning it and I tried several different tapes.
Now, how much better is a 2007 model compared to a 2001 model?
Or, in other words, should I repair it or buy new?
It must be a miniDV camera as I have loads of tapes. I have no need for HDV as I don't have a blu-ray burner or player and I don't have a HD-TV.
My camera has 15x optical zoom that I like.
It has digital picture stabilization (that doesn't work when zooming or panning).
It has analog in- and output.
I also have a wide angle adapter that's really useful indoors.
It also has decent low light capability.
So, what is your opinion?

What about low light capability on 1-CCD vs 3-CCD? Which is best?
there's no generic answer on that, cause:
it depends on optics of camera and of size of ccd.. you should use guides as camcorderinfo.com, which provide indepth info on that.. some camcorders shout '3cdd!' but with small chips.. = due to the process of 'splitting' the incoming light, some show noticable 'noise' under low light conditions.. so, a good 1ccd could offer better pic quality than a cheapo 3ccd ...
so, if 3ccd, then 'full size' ccd... as the Pana gs400 I mentioned above ...
if you do not need analog-in, there's a very wide range of products... I like to 'touch' such devices, wether my fingers find all knobs&switches... when I bought my Sony (I like Sony, excellent quality, Zeiss opttics, Stamina battery management etc) , the other competitor was a very small Panasonic.. would be my 'shirt pocket' camcorder... finally too small for my hands..
and, it depends on your needs of 'manual control', some devices offer a 'focus ring' as on old film cameras, other allow settings only on touchscreens... free white balance?
do you need ext. mic input?
If I had to buy a new one, I would look only for optics, lenses + full size 3 ccd...
... and, after winning the lottery, that HiDef AVCHD HDD-JVC thingie..

My iphone 5 has restored to an old backup after updating to ios 7 is there any way of getting my stuff back as this has now become the most recent back up?

also since the update it keeps resetting itself? i had a lot of stuff on there that i really wanted and alot of important info lost? please help!!

You might be able to remove the recent backup from the backups folder and the old one should be usable at that point
USE EXTREAME CAUTION WHEN ACCESS THE FILES AND DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

The screen of my MacBook Pro itself periodically switches the color. That is, with the usual colors, on some blue. What to do? Should be repaired, or you can figure out the most? HELP ME PLEASE!

LambChops1,
I’m using Mavericks, and it’s still possible to select text to drag and for cutting and pasting. Left-clicking and right-clicking is still possible, too.
Try opening the Trackpad pane of System Preferences, and select the Point & Click tab. To right-click, ensure that your “Secondary click” checkbox has been checked; the small print under “Secondary click” is a dropdown menu which allows you to select the form of right-clicking that you prefer. (For instance, mine is set to “Click in bottom right corner”.) For left-clicking, is your “Tap to click” checkbox checked, or unchecked? (Mine is unchecked, since I prefer pushing for left-clicking over tapping to do so.)

I keep getting a message on startup saying 'Do you want the application "KodakAiOBonjourAgent .app" to accept incoming network connections?' It says settings may be changed in the Firewall pane of Security? Doesn't matter what I click (Deny/Submit).

I keep getting a message on startup saying 'Do you want the application "KodakAiOBonjourAgent .app" to accept incoming network connections?' It says settings may be changed in the Firewall pane of Security but I don't see how. Doesn't matter what I click (Deny/Submit). The message still pops up on starup. I have a Kodak printer and am running Mavericks but I don't think it started when I upgraded.

Just fixed this on my machine, the easiest way to remove this pop-up assuming you are no longer needing that software to print is the following:
Open Finder
Go > Go To Folder...
Type In: "~/Library/Application Support"
Delete All Folders Named Kodak
Open System Preferences
Go to "Security & Privacy"
Click the lock and enter your admin password
Click the Firewall Tab
Go to "Firewall Options..."
Find KodakAiO
Right-click KodakAiOBonjourAgent or equivalent (I forget the exact name)
Click "Show in Finder"
Go Back to a folder and delete the Kodak Folder there.
Remove Kodak from Firewall Options by selecting it and clicking the " - " button the base of the list.
or
Open Finder
Go > Go To Folder...
Type In: "~/Library/Printers"
Delete All Folders Named Kodak
I'm going off memory, so If I forgot something let me know.

How do I get a refund for a book when I wanted the audio book? I bought both but only need the audio book. I don't even know how to use the book. The only reason that I bought it was it was cheaper and I thought that it was the audio book.

There are no refunds.

I have an epson xp600 and a mac book pro. Wireless printing is OK if I'm lucky for one time only then a 'failed to connect' message so I have to delete and re add the printer to get it working again (but just once!) then the same occurs. Why?

I am not certain this will fix your problem but I suggest you assign the printer a static IP address.
Using the printer's front panel, select Menu > Network > WLAN > TCP/IP > Boot method, and change it to "static". Provide a static IP address that is on your LAN's subnet.
For example, if you are using an AirPort Extreme, you might give it an IP address of 10.0.1.100. If you are using a Netgear or Linksys router that defaults to issuing 192.168.x.x addresses, you might give it an address of 192.168.1.100. That way, the printer will always "reside at the same address" on your network. If your router has the ability, you should reserve that address so that the router does not attempt to assign it to another DHCP device.
Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Scan, and delete your existing printer with the "–" (minus) button. Add it again, using the "+" (plus) button. In the window that appears, select the IP pane, and from the Protocol menu select "Line Printer Daemon (LPD)". In the Address field type the IP address you gave your printer.
If all goes well the "Pring Using" field will detect the printer at that address and automatically select the appropriate driver. You will see something similar to the following screenshot ("name" can be whatever you decide, and "location" is optional):
Click Add, then you can close System Preferences.
There are other possible reasons your printer is "not responding" which could include wireless interference from competing wireless networks, but try this "static IP" method first. It should mitigate the problem.
