  • The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on...  What is wrong?  Can photos and data be retrieved?

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem  due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup

  • WHAT IS UP WITH THE IPODS BATTERY?

    I am on my 3rd Ipod, and every 2 god **** months my Ipod has its battery BROKEN. I have treated this one like an angel, but now it only last 9 hours at most on standby. Now I have to get a 4TH one.

    Seems odd that you are going through so many iPods.  Are you storing it in an oven or something?  Make sure you don't store it in your car, etc, where temperatures can get high.

    my ipod has broken. a friend has given me her ipod. but how do i get to use as mine. i can erase her songs and i have mine all on my pc in itunes. help me please friends??

    It appears that something happened to yur computer/iTunes files.  It happens sometimes.  To recovery:
    - Import the old music into the current iTunes library
    - Make sure all the apps are also in the library
    - If in the USA and therplaces where iCloud has benn released you can redownload most iTunes puchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - You can always redownload apps at no additional cost as long as you are singned into the same iTunes account the originally purchased them.
    - After all the suff in in the iTunes library, make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes. 
    - Restore the iPod from backup and restore as necessary.

  • Do You Know Your iPod Battery May Fall Under Warranty Replacement?

    I have the extended warranty on my iPod Touch. My batter life was horrible... without wifi just playing music getting just over 3 hours. I also had a bad MBP battery. Called up AppleCare and got case numbers for both after diagnosis. Was taking a long drive to an Apple Store with Genus appt the next day...
    My name was called and my Genus re-ran the MBP battery check finding it at fault and went to replace it... I said that I was having an issue with the Touch battery as well. He said "You know that the battery is NOT covered under warranty!". I said NO, if a battery is faulty that it is covered under warranty. I told him that it was THE reason that I purchased the warranty... He argued with me about it and I just couldnt believe my ears... I said that all he had to do was go to the Apple site and find the Touch battery warranty description... He started printing out the MBP battery replacement agreement and we had another video test to run on the MBP... he went in the back to get a DVD.
    As I sat there I started hearing all the genus say to every customer with a iPod battery issue say that battery replacement cost blah blah blah... no one was asked if they had a warranty or that if the battery was found to be faulty the battery replacement would be covered. One guy came in with his son saying the iPod was a Christmas present and the battery was only getting blah blah hours... Again, he was told that a battery replacement would cost $$$. It was surely under warranty but he was still charged! ***?
    My Genus comes back and runs the video test with a Howdy Doody DVD, UGH... anyways... he goes back to return the DVD and comes back with something in his hand, unwraps a Touch and tosses it my way. I asked him what was up? He says that the original Touch battery is not replaceable so here was a new one. I said OK... thinking, why was he giving me one after arguing with me about the battery NOT being under warranty???
    So, I guess it pays off to know your warranty with Apple products as the Genus wont offer the facts. Maybe this was just at the Cleveland OH Apple Store. So, wondering if you know that your iPod battery may fall under warranty and if this is a national fraud by Genus?
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB591LL/A#overview "3. Service coverage is available for battery depletion of 50 percent or more from original specification."

    According to this page -> http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipod
    Will the data on my iPod be preserved?
    No. You will receive a replacement iPod that will not contain any of your data, songs, etc. Before you submit your iPod for service, it is your responsibility to keep a separate backup copy of the data stored on your iPod and reinstall that data. Please do not send any accessories with your iPod as they will not be returned.
    Attention iPod touch customers: Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data using iCloud or iTunes. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPod touch and does not offer any data transfer service.
    Following service your replacement iPod touch may have a newer operating system (iOS) version and you will need to restore your data using the method used to back it up (iCloud or iTunes). As a result, you may also need to update your App Store applications to ensure compatibility with the newer iOS. If you experience a problem with an application purchased from the App Store, check iTunes to see if an update is available or contact the application vendor directly.

  • Where can i get my ipod battery changed

    where can i get my ipod battery changed

    Apple does not replace batteries.  Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished 4 gen iPod with a new battery for $79 (free if it is still under warranty). Or google for replace iPod battery to find a local store or online shop that will replace the battery in your existing iPod for less. You can even buy a battery on line for $10-20 and do the replacement yourself if you are up to it.

  • My ipod is broken in where you would put the usb cable into the ipod

    Any Apple store or an AASP will repair it for a fee!  If you want DIY instructions try the iPod Repair Tutorials and the YouTube "How To" tutorial websites. 

  • IPOD BATTERY

    Recently, just after the year period of course, my 4th gen ipod battery drained really fast. I got a replacement battery that is supposed to be better, but it still drains fast. It doesnt drain quite as fast, but if left unplugged overnight, I can not turn it on in the morning. I have checked the clock and the alarm, nothing is turning it on. I have tried reseting it and I have made sure that it is up to date on the software. What can I do? Does anyone know of anything else that could be wrong with it?

    did you charge the new battery for at least 3 hours when you just replaced it?? and you may also try to restore your ipod and update to the latest software

  • How do i get a shipping box for out-of-warranty ipod battery replacement?

    i have signed up online to have my ipod battery replaced. the pod is out of warranty. the email reply only tells me to pack it well because apple won't deal with it if it is damaged in shipment. the only instructions i have found in my search at the apple site seem to deal with apple automatically sending the shipping package for in-warranty pods.
    can anyone help?
    thank you in advance,

    Usually, it takes about a week from the moment you
    request the box till you have the iPod back.
    gee, apple acknowledged my request for a replacement on 0905, but i don't have a box yet.
    i called my apple store, and they also said that apple would send me a box.
    i just noticed that you said "from the moment you request the box." how do i request a box? i have only "ordered" the replacement battery -- apple terms it an "apple product replacement request."
    i guess i am impatient, but i'm beginning to feel that i am in the middle of a kafka novel.
    chris, can you think of anything else?
    thanks.

  • IPod battery charging

    I've had my 5th Gen iPod for a month or so now and love it! However, I wanted to know what is the best way to keep the battery in optimum condition. The way I use my iPod at the moment is to run it during the day and then plug it into the Mac at night, so I have only ever used a little bit of the battery. Is it best to completely run the battery down between charges? Will 'micro charging' degrade the battery faster.
    I ask this because the consensus of opinion with mobile phone batteries for example is to occasionally run them until completely flat and then fully recharge. Is this the same with the iPod battery?

    Here's some essential reading on the iPod battery that will probably answer your questions. The "iPod battery unplugged" site is especially good.

  • Apple iPod Battery Service

    The Apple iPod Battery replacement program what does it cover?
    Does it cover
    Completely dead iPod batteries,
    iPod batteries that don't hold a full charge
    or something else not mentioned.

    The only iPod battery replacement programme I know of is the out of warranty one where they will replace an out of warrant iPod with a battery problem with a new iPod for about AU$99 aprox and I'm pretty sure it will cover all the problems you specified earlier.
    It might be a good idea to take it to an AASP rather than sending it directly to Apple as they may fix it and send you the bill if it doesn't qualify (but I'm sure it does I just don't want you to end up with a big bill because of me)
    I'm sorry about my earlier post maybe i should read the articles thoroughly before i refer them :/
