Is my ipod worth anything?

I have an ipod touch. I believe it's a first generation. There's really nothing wrong with it, just a few scratches. I hardly ever use it anymore since I have an iPhone. Is there any way I could make a profit from it?

It's clearly worth something, and if it's working correctly you certainly could sell it. Even if it wasn't working some people buy for parts, though obviously they don't pay much. You can look on eBay for the sale prices for iPods of your same vintage and capacity and get an idea of what you might ask for it. You can confirm what model you have here:

  • When I plug my ipod in I am able to add song to it but the tab that says "on this ipod" no longer shows up so I cannot remove things from my ipod or anything like that. How do I change this weird setting?

    When I plug my ipod in I am able to add song to it but the tab that says "on this ipod" no longer shows up so I cannot remove things from my ipod or anything like that. How do I change this weird setting? On other computers this shows up fine so it is clearly a problem with itunes and not my ipod.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • Is my 40 GB non video IPOD worth replacing battery?

    I bought my first Mac when Panther came out. Thus my first Ipod was dated to whenever that is. I have a firewire connection and a charger stand and I spent a whole bunch on peripherals to add photos, do voice recording, etc. I saw in Scott Kelby's Doing Cool Things with your IPOD book, that batteries eventually need replacement. He compares bringing to Apple Store with sending out to two online vendors. I have not yet upgraded to a video IPOD, but have been happy with books on tape and audio notes, music withthis old ipod. Unfortunately, other concerns left it in the charger with my Mac sleeping and Scott tells me Use it or Lose it. I want to replace this battery unless you all tell me it is a dead horse. I am about to buy an IPod touch for myself and a Nano for my student daughter. The granddaughter and son all fight over the Nano they already have . It is the reall slim one. I cannot see on About my Mac what the serial number or model is on this IPOD. Is it sane to replace battery for use by me for listening to books on tape. ??Are these on line replacement places better for older IPODS than Apple store for cost? Any advice appreciated. Out of date in San Diego. PS I spend about 8 hours on laptop surfing or using web sites for tranining (NAPP,Lynda.com). It is awkward to always be attached to laptop. Have it linked to my HDMI TV. Which helps but I have to control stop/pause/play with scroll bar thumb two fingers, etc. Please any help if if is ok to put money into this IPOD.

    If it's a 40GB non-video iPod with a color screen, it is an +iPod photo+ (aka +iPod with color display+ ), which is a 4th gen iPod. If it has a monochrome display and a click wheel, it is an earlier 4th gen iPod. If it has a touch wheel and 4 round touch buttons, it is a 3rd gen iPod.
    Replacing the battery yourself is not that difficult on any of the above mentioned iPods. The hardest part is opening the case, which is actually not that hard if you do it properly.
    You can buy replacement batteries for lest than $10, including the shipping and the plastic tools.
    [For example, if the iPod is a 4th gen.|http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-for-APPLE-Ipod-20GB-20-GB-MP3-Player-4th-Gen-4 GW0QQitemZ400038705242QQcmdZViewItemQQptZOther_MP3_Player_Accessories?hash=item40 0038705242&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&trkparms=72%3A1234%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1% 7C294%3A50]
    (I don't know anything about this particular seller.)
    There are online guides, such as this one
    http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Browse/iPod_Original
    and there are probably video guides on YouTube.
    Although the battery may be weak and not hold a charge, does the iPod otherwise work properly. If so, it is certainly worth less than $10 to replace the battery. However, if you have to pay more than $60 to get it replaced, then it may not be worth it compared to the price for a new or refurb (on Apple's Special Deals page) iPod.

  • Is nike+ipod worth it??

    Hi im a high school football and baseball player and i just got a new pair of the nike+ shox and i just sold my psp i was going to use that money on a ipod nano and the nike+ kit but im having some second thoughts can anyone help me out and tell me if its really worth it?

    This is a relative question. I've owned all of the present and past iPod incarnations....I struggled with the original and present hard drive design iPods since running with them was largely ineffective and led to problems with their functioning. The iPod shuffle was nice for jogging, but the lack of a display or other advanced functions left me cold. The Nano by itself is a great item....perfect for running and flashy enough for daily use without the large capacity or video. I can store all the tunes I want to run and for most weekends out....I wouldn't ditch my 60 gig iPod Video, but it's a different animal for me. The Nike+ kit is very useful for me as a casual runner and for my general use needs. Is it an earthshattering product??? Not yet...it's been out a whopping 14 days....it's got some kinks and Nike is certainly new at handling this technology (especially considering it's a cooperative endeavor with Apple). For $29 it's certainly worth it to me. The Nano...an awesome product....So...the answer for me is clearly "YES" it's worth it. Don't buy both items if you think the Nike + system will change your life...you'll be disappointed. It's a great little accessory. It'll lead to better accessories with more training functions (yeah...us early adopters get to test the products at our own expense so more patient folks can get a better finished product next year).
    Good luck,

    I like the news of the new movie download feature, but it is worth it on that iPod screen?

    The discussion terms of use state: "Feedback about new feature requests or product enhancements are welcome too." So, not all topics have to relate to technical problems. I would imagine that a discussion about using an Apple product for its advertised purpose is OK.
    If you have a desire to watch movies on your iPod and you're the law abiding sort, then yes, it is worth it. If you're an unscrupulous type who would rather buy the DVD and copy on to his/her i|Pod, or you just don't watch videos on your iPod, then no, it probably isn't worth it.
    In the end, only you can answer the question of whether it is worth it or not; everyone is different.

  • Suddenly, I can't charge my 5g iPod using anything other than my CPU!

    I've had my 60gb iPod Video (5g) for nearly a year now. In that time, I've used 3 methods to charge my iPod: the compy, my Logitech MM50 speakers, and a little no-name battery pack with 4-AA batteries. It's worked perfectly for months that way.
    Now, suddenly, I can't charge using the speakers or battery pack anymore. I didn't change anything, I didn't do anything differently, it just suddenly won't charge unless I connect to my computer.
    Anyone know how to fix this problem? Or am I doomed to connecting to my computer? That would suck, considering that I rely on my speakers to charge it at home. Ideas?

    Have you tried restoring it with the iPod updater? If
    you have all your music on the computer, that's what
    I'd do.
    Failing that, I assume you've tried resetting it?
    My 30GB Video fails to charge on my ZipLinq adapter,
    but after unplugging the cable, and reseating it at
    both ends, it charges fine.
    I haven't restored it yet; that's my last resort method. I have tried resetting it, no deal.

  • First iPod (Nano) - anything I need to know??

    I just placed an order for a refurbished iPod Nano for my girlfriend for Christmas. I have never really held an iPod, much less owned or ordered one before.
    Is there anything I, or my girlfriend, needs to do to it straight out of the box? I know every time I buy a new computer I do a fresh OS install, calibrate the battery, etc. Any special procedures like these for the iPod Nano I need to know about?
    Thanks!

    Ah, thanks. I didn't even see that little link down there last night. Duh

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - On a computer with iTunes verion 11.1 sing into iTunes with your account and agree there. Then try another reset on the iPod
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Is my 3G iPod worth revitalizing?

    Here's my dilemma. I have a 3G iPod. It's in great condition and I love it. Recently, the battery has gotten wors and worse, but now it's at a point where it coesn't really hold a charge anymore. But,I'm wondering if holding a charge is its only problem. I often get a battry icon with a question mark. Hmmm...what does that mean? Also, I seem to notice that the settings often resets itself, but I don't know if that do to the lack of battery power. For example, when I plug in my iPod to a power source, say an outlet, the first thing that pops up on my screen is the language selection menu, and then as I dig further lots of my settings revert to factory settings like Shuffling is back to its default "No" shuffling. All my MP3s are still on my iPod, so I haven't lost any data. Is my dilemma, just a battery issue? If so, what are people's opinions about the 850 mhz Newertech battery offered at OWC (One World Computing)???
    Thanks!!!!

    Hi,
    Yeah. I think the battery is the culprit. When your battery runs down to the end, it makes the battery life even shorter, and you see the battery with the ? mark. I've accidently run down the battery (the same generation you have) several times, and I would see this icon. I think, I'm not 100% sure, but if you frequently run the battey to the end, then the iPod resets itself and goes onto sleep mode. (thats why the battery w/? mark appears; its meant to conserve the last few bits left to keep the custom settings active) If the battery is completely drained, there would be no more power to keep the clock running, and to keep the custom settings active. Again, I've been only using my iPod for 6 months, so I'm not definitely sure, but I can telly you that I've experienced similar problems. Can you remember the date of which your iPod was purchased on? If you're the original owner, and you bought your iPod before May 31, 2004, then you can participate in the Apple iPod Battery Settlement. Here's the URL, check it out and see if your iPod qualifies. http://www.appleipodsettlement.com/index.html If you aren't the original owner, then...forget it. But I think replacement batteries from other places are good deal, and I'm thinking of replacing my battery one day.
    Hope this helps

  • Water damaged iPod (worth a shot)

    My iPod after the bag it was in got absolutely SOAKED on a water ride at a theme park (I forgot it was in there). Tried putting it in rice, putting it in airing cupboard etc. It's quite difficult to open up, so does anyone else have any other ideas? It's been 4 days since it actually happened so guessing any water in there has dried by now.

    Try the sealed container with uncooked rice for a week and periodically change the rice.

  • Passport 25% off accessories email not worth anything to me!

    Absolutely loving the Passport after one week of ownership.  I'm a loyal BB user for years... my 5th now.. 9000, 9700, 9900, Q10, and now a Passport.
    Thanks Blackberry for the kind welcome to Blackberry emails and the seemingly wonderful offer of 25% off "ALL" Passport accessories, but when I tried to purchase the Passport sync pod and leather swivel holster... Surprise! Those aren't included in the offer... Only 8 or 9 Passport accessories are part of this promotion.  Wait, the email said ALL Passport accessories....  Oh right.... fine print...  it states that there are restrictions, sheesh! If there are restrictions, please don't use the word ALL, that's false or at the least, misleading advertising!
    And as nice as the leather swivel holster is... it's $169.99 here in Canada...  OMG!
    Nice to offer the discount and email me the offer, but so not cool with the choice of language in the email.  The only way to make me happy now is to offer the 25% off on two accessories (also in the fine print - limit of two accessories per customer)... any and all Passport accessories, as advertised.
    Thank you for reading.

    Another awesome promo!

  • Is my computer worth anything?

    My IMac Flat Panel G4 has finally died, no fan, no response. We think it's probably the logic board because we replaced the hard drive not long ago. I am having a hard time taking it out to the dumpster because I feel like something could be of use or it could be recycled. Any recommendations on what i should do?

    Apple will properly recycle any computer when you purchase a new Mac.
    http://www.apple.com/environment/recycling/
    Also, if you put it on eBay as a "for parts" iMac G4, you may get a buyer because the LCD and neck mechanism, which are probably working fine. You can re-use the hard drive yourself. If you added RAM, you may be able to sell the RAM separately.
    Make sure you have done some basic trouble-shooting. For "no response," you should try resetting the PMU.
