Is the iPod Touch the Apple Genius Bar workers given me a UK iPod Touch or does it not matter?

My family purchased an iPod Touch 4 from the USA from Best Buy and we came back to the UK and a week later we took it to Apple to check the battery fault and they gave us another iPod Touch which I think is a refurbished one. Anyways my question is that is the refurbished iPod Touch a UK iPod or a USA or does it not matter. Also is it safe to charge it through the wall with the iPhone USB apart or or would I need to plug it in the computer? Thanks and if it is confusing break down the question and answer it step by step because I asked a few there. Thanks.

Since there is no reason for a UK store to have Amercian market iPods, I think it's likely that you now have an iPod as sold in the UK, that is, an EU (European Union) iPod. (I may be wrong, but that's my guess.)
iPods sold within the EU have a Volume Limit on them that is not on non-EU iPods. EU iPods therefore have a slightly lower maximum volume than other markets. You could compensate for this by using a headphones amplifier if you prefer, but be careful not to damage your hearing by having it too loud!
iPods charge using 5 volts (from the USB outlet). So in the USA, the 110volts power outlet is changed to 5 volts from the USB outlet. In the UK, the 220 volts mains voltage is changed to 5 volts from the USB - the same 5 volts out. So yes, you can use a USB output from a wall-outlet charger.

  • Hi, i've just bought my first macbook pro, i just installed office mac and when i open the page i cannot see the minimise maximise and close buttons as it's hidden behind the apple menu bar, also when it's at full screen, those buttons do not appear

    Try to edit the size of the page using the sides of the page, or if you are desperate, force quit using command-Q. In full screen put your cursor on the top of the page, and the menu bar will appear. If it doesn't keep "pushing" it up until it does. Hope this helps!

  • As of February 1st all my notes on iPad disappeared, went to the Apple Genius Bar and they had no answers or help for me.  Any ideas? Thanks

    As of February 1 all my notes disappeared from my iPad, iPhone and iCloud. Went to Genius Bar and they had no answer for me.  Reset my iPad with a prior iCloud backup date, no luck getting my notes back.   Genius Bar and apple have no clue, any ideas.  Thanks

    Try Spotlight Search your notes.
    1. From any Home screen page of iPad, drag your finger down anywhere on the center of Home screen.
    2. Spotlight search will now appear and you can search for apps, texts, or any other content you'd like just as you did on previous versions of iOS.

  • Will the Apple Genius Bar take my MacBook Pro if the keys are messed up?

    I got my MacBook Pro a couple of weeks ago and its still under warrenty. A frew weeks ago, I got some weird yellow stuff on my keys. I tried to get the stuff out but i eventually broke the keys. Will apple now take my MacBook Pro?

    Yes, they will. But they will state that the problem was caused by misuse and not covered by warranty. Then they will offer to repair it The Official Way by replacing the entire topcase, to the tune of $700-$900 out of your pocket. Oh, WAIT! I'ts a Retina. Scratch that, think about $1500-$2000.
    If the "yellow stuff" did not trickle down into the guts of the Mac and it still works, note that replacement keycaps can be had at https://www.replacementlaptopkeys.com/
    And I will do my best to not imagine the nature of the yellow stuff and how it came to be spurted on the suffering keyboard.......

  • All of my photos are missing from time machine after Apple Genius Bar factory reset my macbook

    I backed up my MacBook to Time Machine so that the Apple Genius Bar could factory reset my MacBook. It was running slow and I wanted everything deleted, so I could add back just photos and music. When I tried to find the iPhoto Library pictures on the time machine they were missing. Has anyone else had this problem? I have lost all my photos since I got the computer in 2008.

    What I assume happened is they erased and installed the MacintoshHD partition which includes all accounts, files and OS X.
    You now have a new account or the same name, but it's actually different and can't access your files because they belong to the previous account.
    I think your supposed to use Migration Assistant in your Applications > Utilties folder, then transfer the account to the machine. You log into the account and can transfer files via the Dropbox to the new user account.
    Combine two+ Users Accounts on the same machine
    Once the files are transferred you can delete the old account.
    Next time if you just want certain files returned, use a normal external storage drive instead, then you can simply Get Info and "Ignore permissions on this volume" (aka external drive) return those certian files and do a #6 Repair Users Permissions to set the ownership to your new account.

  • Iphone5 visit to Apple Genius Bar after phone would not connect to network.  Now phone is stuck in network set-up menu.  Suggestions for next steps?

    I am experiencing the never-ending searching on my iphone5.  Looking for solution and wanted to share some advice.
    I traveled out of the cellular network on 5/24 and turned off my phone.  The phone was turned back on 5/25 when I returned to an area where the phone previously connected to the network.  When the phone began searching for the network I performed the recommended trouble shooting steps, power on/off, reset network.  Once home I took it to the Spring store then to the Apple store.  No connection success.  Although the phone could connect via wi-fi and everything else worked fine the phone would not connect to the cellular network leaving the phone and internet service unavailable. 
    I asked  the Apple Genius Bar if their efforts would still allow me to update my phone via the backup information on the icloud.  The answer was yes.  However after all their efforts my phone was returned locked in the set up menu and is continues to search for a network.  I can no longer access a wi-fi connection or other apps on the phone following the factory reset and connecting the phone to the cellular service that work on 5/24.  Any tips are welcome since my phone is currently a paperweight.  Thank you.
    DO NOT ATTEMPT A FACTORY RESET or attempt removing/adding your device to existing cellular service unless your phone is under warranty or you are prepared to purchase a new phone.

    Sounds like a data issue on the iPhone. What does the carrier say? Sometimes hardware issues can cause the device to show 'searching' continuously.
    Basically, if you restore in iTunes, and the service is not activating after calling Sprint, you may be looking at a hardware replacement of the device.

  • TS4088 I have changed the logic board in Apple genius bar

    I have changed the logic board in Apple genius bar after updated to 10.6.8. Updated to 10.7.2 but now way BSOD never solved except after changing the logic board.
    Can I update to 10.8.3 or as I read in the communities, the BSOD will return again? If it happens, I guess Apple will not change it to me again.

    I am also on my forth hard drive on the same model.
    When I unpacked the computer, the hard drive did not include OS X either. Actually, it was completely blank. Did not even have a partition table! I have also had random problems with the machine not charging.
    I have replaced the drive myself with an SSD after figuring the Apple Certified technicians were incompetent. Now even the SSD is starting to fail
    I have bought an HP laptop and setup Ubuntu on it. Hope it turns out better than my previous four various Mac models. All have had various repeating hardware issues that Apple Certified technicians have been unable or unwilling to correct.

  • I can't remember my password even with hint. It was reset at the Boston Genius Bar when some work was done.. Didn't realize this til I got home and now. It's been 6 months since I was there.  Suggestions? Thanks....mmh

    Assuming you have Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks, restart and hold the Command and R keys.  When the reboot has completed, click Utilities on the menu bar if the utilities window has not automatically opened.  Click Terminal.  When the Terminal window has opened, type exactly the following:
    resetpassword
    and press Enter.
    When the Reset Password Window opens, select the internal storage, the user, and type a new password twice.  Do not enter a hint.  Click Save.
    Accept the next window that opens, and back at the Reset Password window click the lower right button to accept the reset of the user's home directory permissions.
    Click the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart and you will now have a new password.

    My iPhoto Library (version 8.1.2) is 280GB (greater than 50% of my 500GB total storage memory on my iMac.  It was too large for me to drag it to a new hard drive so the Apple geniuses did it for me.  However they did not delete the Library from my iMac (that's my responsibility).  I dragged it to Trash and when it started to move I clicked over to the new hard drive to confirm it had indeed been copied.  I became nervous when I didn't see among the few files on this otherwise empty new hard drive anything that resembled a 280GB Library so I cancelled the migration to trash.
    How can I be sure that my iphoto has been copied and that all my "metadata" survived in tact?

    the new backup drive
    I thought the new drive would be your data drive to host the iPhoto library. Do you also use it for TimeMachine backups?
    I am unable to search either in email as well as Finder.  I AM able to search within iPhoto though, thankfully
    Spotlight may still be busy rebuildig its index.
    You could try to rebuild the Spotlight Index, if you do see no progress:
    Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes
    I hope, other frequent posters will drop in. I have not used iPhoto 8.x in long time.

  • Is anyone else having the finish rub off of the keys on their macbook? I've had mine for about 6 months and several keys look like the finish is wearing through. I went to the local genius bar today and the techs said they'd never seen this before.

    Some people have seen their aluminum uni-body discoloring due to body oils.  Go figure.
    Normally putting anything over the keys/aluminum will hurt heat disspation, but you may need to use keyboard covers.
    Or save up $500/year for new keyboards.
    Neither is supposed to be a sarcastic answer.  Either one could end up being the solution.
    Good luck with it.

  • Why did the Apple 'genius' tell my my bulging battery was normal?

    Why did the Apple 'genius' tell my my bulging battery was normal

    The battery has a cycle count of 101 and is listed in good condition and @ 2 years old.  The 'genius' said it was 'normal' and NOT defective.  And was probably because I left it plugged in most of the time.
    I remined him how the lithium ion battery and its associated charging system are supposed to be very sophisticated and are reported to not overcharge the battery and to extend its life. I also cited where I had read that the swelling usually occurrs when a battery does not ventilate properly,
    I asked him why the five other Apple laptops I owned for years never had that 'normal' condition.
    I pretty much got the dumb deer-in-the headlights stare.

  • Will Apple Genius Bar run Diagnostic tests on my computer or do I need to set up a special appointment?

    I got my Mac OSX with Lion about 9 months ago. Two months after I bought it, it crashed. Apple gave no direct explanation and ended up wiping the computer. Two months after that it happended again. That time they gave me a knew hard drive but they still didn't give me an explanation. Then recenty it crashed (kernal panicked) after I downloaded the thunderbolt application. That time apple was able to restore everything.
    Unfortunately, my computer is now showing many of the same symptoms (slow loading, safari freezing, applications needing to be forced quit...etc) as it did before it crashed the first two times. I should mention that when I say "crashed" I mean my computer wouldn't turn on again. Now I am afraid to turn my computer off or even let it go to sleep. I know this isn't good for it but I don't know what else to do.
    So my question is, will Apple Genius Bar run some diagnostic tests for me or give me a special lesson? Or do I need to pay for a special lesson? I just want a trained person to run some diagnostics and go through the basics of updating, shutting down, and restarting my computer with me. That way if anything goes wrong they see it first hand.
    One more thing, could it be something I am doing. I have downloaded Flash Player but only from the Flash website. But I have heard Flash/Mac problems. Or is there anything else I could be doing or downloading?

    With Apple you Always Need to Make an Appointment. Otherwise they will turn you away. Even if the place is empty.
