Is my Ipod Nano(1st Gen) an affected Ipod Nano that is eligible for the Replacement Program ?

My Ipod Nano (1st Gen) was produced in 2006 during week 06 of February.
It states here:http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano_replacement/
that "Affected iPod nanos were sold between September 2005 and December 2006."
I don't recall which year I brought mine...
If I send it in and there is nothing wrong with it, I will be charged diagnostic fees and such. I want to make sure it IS indeed an affected nano before I send it in to avoid the fees and the hassle.
Thank you in advance for your help !

It should be included unless you already had the battery replaced by them for some reason. They won't ship you the box unless the serial number matches a recalled model and they won't charge you if something is wrong, they will just ship it back to you. You will get a 6th generation nano in silver, not a 1st gen.

  • Ipod touch 1st gen - to current ipod touch

    Just got a new ipod touch. Not sure what generation it is, but it's the newest one available through the apple store and 32GB.
    My car doesn't have an auxilliary unit and my ipod touch 1st generation had to be professionally wired to play through my stereo. The cord comes through my glove box and plugs right into my ipod. It seems that the new ipod touch uses a new, smaller plug which is not compatible with the old setup. I'm wondering if there's an adapater I can buy to plug into the new ipod touch that will allow me to use the old Auxilliary plug.
    Thanks for any info/advice. I hope my question was easy to understand.

  • Can I still ship my nano in for the replacement program?

    So I applied for the first generation ipod nano replacement program back in November and received the box a couple of days later.  I wasn't convinced about sending it in right away because I wanted to see what the replacement was going to be.  I have finally decided that I want to send back my nano, and I still have the box, but it says that you were supposed to send back the box within ten days of receiving it to avoid the order being cancelled.  If I send in the box now, will I still be able to get my replacement ipod? Thanks for your help!

    You will need to contact Apple to ask about getting a box sent to you so that you can return your Nano.

  • Hi so my ipad is stuck in recovery mode.  Once I connected to itunes to install the ios 8 software it says that its eligible for the request build and I tried the sudo nano command and that didn't work either. Please help thanks!

    Ipad mini stuck in recovery mode.
    My itunes is up-to-date.
    Sudo nano command is not working.

    yes i am sure. This are the exact words... "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to use is full. (Removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space". i tried some options, hard reset, redsnow, tinyumbrella but still it's stuck.

  • IPod Nano 1st Gen Replacement Program Problem

    I recently sent my iPod Nano 1st Gen off for the replacement program.
    I wanted to make sure I would be receiving a refurbished 1st Gen back, not one of the latest gens, so I called Apple Care to confirm this.
    I'm really fond of the 1st Gen and would like to keep it as a collectors item, plus mine was in relatively good condition as well (And absolutely love the scroll wheel).
    The woman I spoke to at Apple Care assured me that I would receive a refurbished 1st Gen iPod Nano, she was very clear on this.
    I sent off and just received a box in the mail with replacement. To my dismay, they replaced it with a 6th GEN.
    I don't want to sound ungrateful, and I do appreciate Apple keeping up customer service even for old Apple products.
    But I specifically asked if a 1st gen would be returned to me, which was not the case.
    I called Apple care again today, and they said they didn't have the stock and provided me with whatever they could.
    Had I been told there was a chance I wouldn't receive a refurbished 1st gen in return, I wouldn't have sent it off in the first place.
    Can't be too upset with Apple, but not particularly happy. Any advice would be appreciated.

    I just sent a request for the shipping materials today, and if I get back a refurbished 1st generation nano, I'll be more than happy to trade it for your 6th generation

  • Ipod Nano 1st Gen Recall

    So i requested a Ipod Nano 1st gen replacement because i have one for the replacement program. How long does it take for the New ipod to arrive? If you did the replacement how long did it take?

    I got email today from Apple telling me that my replacement Nano its on the way. They gave me a serial number for new model. I checked online and its a 1st gen Nano, not newer version what some people were hoping for. To be honest I love 1st gen design, and if I get another 5 years out of it with new battery then happy times. 

  • Hi I was just wondering, if my iPod nano's serial number says that it is eligible, but its screen is not working, am I still eligibile for the iPod nano 1st gen replacement?

    Yes. They'll still replace your iPod. Several users have indicated that they have returned damaged iPods and were still given a replacement iPod.

    Thank you deggie to answer me . You know, I don't know much of computers and of technology but when I bought that ipod back when  they came out 2005 I was able to download music from my CDs and from Youtube to itunes then transfer to my ipod and back and forth to itunes .  Then if I had changed of computer I was able to transfer to that new computer.Why I'm not able to do it ? There is a program(Sharepod) that allow to do that but it cost $35.00 but I thought that was free or it is because that now I have to buy from itunes only?

  • Ipod nano (1st gen) not charging/not showing up on computer or itunes

    I recieved a 2GB ipod nano (1st gen) as a gift back in December 2005. It's worked fine until recently. Yesterday, I tried to charge my ipod. However, when I connected my ipod to my power adapter to charge it nothing happened. The charging symbol didn't even show on the screen. So then I tried plugging it in to my laptop computer. Same result: nothing happened and worse still, it didn't even show up on My Computer or in iTunes. I then tried connecting it to our regular computer. Same result as the laptop and still no charging icon. I tried my 2nd generation nano thinking that maybe something was wrong with the USB cable or with the power adapter but it worked fine with everything. I also tried another cable. But still nothing worked. I've tried the 5 R's thing but it didn't work. I even tried leaving my ipod alone for awhile to no result. Finally I tried putting it into Disk Mode and that's where it is now. I've tried to run through the steps again with this but it didn't work. So now it's in Disk Mode and it needs to be charged but I don't know how to do it. I'm starting to think that I just need to get the battery replaced. Unless someone else has a fix that will work?? Please help!!

    It sounds like the port or cable is having a problem. First try a different cable.
    If the cable doesn't fix things then try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit) then see if the iPod will show up.

  • IPod Nano 1st Gen not connecting to my computer

    My friend's iPod Nano 1st Gen won't connect to my computer (i have previsily added songs to it since last month) and now my iTunes won't show that ipod on my devices lists (I did NOT update iTunes because of the problems other people were getting)..... it will charge on my computer but WON'T sync....... WHATS UP WITH THAT???
    THANKS IN ADVANCE TO THOSE THAT HELP.

    Could be any number of reasons.  One of them just may be your refusal to update iTunes.  Just because others are having issues does not mean you'll have them!
