Late-Model iPod; New from Amazon: Warranty / AppleCare Possible?

Hi there,
Amazon seems to have a few 32GB and 64GB iPod touch 3rd Generation (iOS 5.1.1 models) available as brand-new sealed units. If this is purchased brand-new from Amazon, would it be possible to contact Apple and to get AppleCare for it, and register it for a one-year warranty? They are much cheaper than 32 and 64GB newer-gen touches and just for Facebook / Music its PERFECT at the price point!
Let me know what you think!
Thanks.

Enter the iPod's serial number here and see what it returned.
If it shows as warranty expired then no, otherwise I would say yes, I would then contact Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE

If I get a new iPod touch from Amazon, will it have the new apps?

If I order a new iPod touch from Amazon.com today will it have the new apps? Or will Apple recgonize its new and download them for me for free? Just wondering because I don't want to buy a new one and then get stuck without the apps. Thanks

I'm in the same boat. I have $300 in Amazon gift cards for buying an iPod touch, but found this statement on the product page:
"Does not ship with the latest announced new software applications for the Touch. Software upgrades are available via iTunes for $20"
The 16GB Touch sells for $358.99, which is 2% lower than it was the day before the Keynote. I have a feeling Amazon may have a glut of them before the announcement and will wait to see if Apple even sells them to Amazon for resell.

Just bought 4th Gen.iPod shuffle from Amazon. My computer (Windows 7) wont recognise device, neither does iTunes. Have reinstalled iTunes, and nothing seems to work, Anyone have any ideas.

Just bough 4th Generation iPod Shuffle from Amazon - comp;uter doesnt recognmise device, neither does iTunes. I have re-installed iTunes, re-started Computer but nothing seems to work. I have a 2nd generation iPod shuffle and that is recognised by computer. Anyone have any suggestions - I am at my wits end.

There is a USB printer connected to the back port of the PC. The mouse and keyboard are both PS/2.
I did attempt to reinstall the USB root drivers. After uninstalling iTunes and all the other apple software packages included, I uninstalled everything USB in Device Manager, then rebooted the PC to let Windows reinstall it all.
Reinstalling the OS -might- fix the issue, but if that were the case, it's most likely just a software conflict that can easily be fixed if I can manage to narrow the specific conflicts down. I've already essentially disabled everything with MSCONFIG except for Apple stuff, so I'm at a loss as to where to go. I've attempted the 5 Rs and all that as well, none of it seems to do the trick. I also cleared the temp folder multiple times (once per each iTunes uninstall / reinstall following the support site directions of uninstalling all the extra apple software) as well as attempted restarts of the Apple services.
One oddity I would like to point out is that if I attempt to restart the iPod service through services.msc, it will not restart. It throws the error message of "the service failed to respond in a timely fashion" or whatever. I instead have to use the windows Task Manager to manually kill the iPod process in the processes list.
I just now removed the USB printer and plugged the shuffle into the same port, but I receive the same error message in iTunes about the iPod being corrupted and it needing a restore. If I push restore, the software gets stuck in an endless loop. There are no other USB devices attached to this computer, the motherboard drivers are fully up to date from nVidia's website, and other USB devices clearly function just fine (USB memory sticks, USB printer, etc). If I use the Diagnostics option under Help in iTunes, it will claim there is no iPod connected, and, again, the iPod still does not show up in Windows Explorer under My Computer as an attached device, nor does it show up in Disk Management as a mounted partition.

How can i get a new iPod touch from the warranty it has if i lost it?

i have lost my ipod touch 5g, but i do have warranty. i just dont know how to do it online.

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

I bought an iPad 2 2nd Generation new from Amazon August 2013. It has no sound. Apple support says it is over 5 years old. What can I do?.

Apple Support states this iPad is over 5 years old and they can't advise me. What do I do to get sound out of it?

I presume you mean that you purchased the iPad in August of 2012, since August 2013 hasn't arrived yet. The iPad 2 was only introduced in March of 2011 and is still sold by Apple, so it's most certainly not over five years old. Apple Support apparently and mistakenly thought you were talking about a 2nd-generation iPod touch. The iPad 2 is still eligible for support from Apple. You can confirm warranty here:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
Presuming you've checked the Sounds settings and turned up the volume button and tried multiple apps, try the earphones (or any set of headphones) and see if those work. If they do, the iPad may have a stuck contact in the headphone jack. Inserting and removing the headphones a couple of times may help.
If you get no sound even with headphones, try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you try restoring from a backup and that doesn't fix the problem, try restoring to factory settings and synching your apps. You'll lose the app data and settings, but if the problem is due to a corrupt cache or settings file, that should cure it.
If none of that helps, make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple support again and make sure they understand that you're talking about an iPad.
Regards.

Trying to install Elements 12 on a Mac and it says the serial number is invalid. Just purchased this new from Amazon. What gives???

@Does anyone know how to actually call a real person at Adobe for help? This is frustrating to purchase a product and not be able to even use it.

I do not know of a phone number that I can recommend, but here is one for chat for the area you are having a problem.

Ipod Switch from Windows to Mac: Possible?

Hi, I'm new here. If this has been asked, I couldn't find it.
I just bought a Macbook Pro; first Apple computer I've owned.
My iTunes library is on my IBM. Is it possible to get my songs into my Apple and then reformat the iPod and reload them?
thanks.
Regards,
Mark

You can use your iPod which will work on your Mac, there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. I use Senuti but have a look at the others and go with whichever you prefer.
Senuti Mac Only
iPodRip Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
iPod.iTunes Mac Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
Another way of course would be to network the two computers and copy over your iTunes folder. There is a good general guide to switching from Windows to Mac at the following link that touches on moving music as well How to Move to a Mac - Get your stuff from your PC to your new Mac
There are also these guides:
How to move music between authorised computers
Moving your iTunes Music Folder This is written around moving to another drive on your computer but should adaptable for moving to another computer ok and also Networking with a Windows PC
Don't forget by the way if you have purchased any tracks from the iTunes Music Store to deauthorise your old PC if you are disposing of it so you don't use up your 5 allowances How to move music between authorised computers

Questions: Late Model and Flash based iPod utilities

In the past I found it somewhat cumbersome to have to fully Restore iPods in order to repair their function.
So in order to keep my 3rd Gen. iPods in good shape I routinely needed to run
third-party disk repair utilities which have kept the iPods in fine running shape.
I notice that not much is available anymore in the way of an iPod utility, and for the Flash-Memory based iPods there seems to be none available.
Do the later model iPods no longer need maintenance?
Is there a utility that can repair and maintain a Flash Memory based drive
with out having to resort to erasing and restoring?
(i.e. do flash based drives never get directory errors?)
Thanks in advance for any referrals

Belated thanks for the reply
I have been a bit ill, and not computing, lately.
It is my understanding that Restore function erases the iPod.
I find it more desireable to repair the 'pods without having
to lose all files.
Also, it seems to me that running a repair routine is a rather short time frame
(i.e. the time, only, that it takes to rebuild or repair the directory)
This seems not to be significantly more time that it would take to load
a couple-of-dozen songs.
Thanks again and sorry for the delay

MacBook and Applecare from Amazon

Hi,
I hope we have someone who has bought MBPro (or any Apple computer)from Amazon. I just cannot resist the deal from Amazon for MBP with $150 Rebate (new ones on back order). Question - If I buy this from Amazon, and buy Applecare (discounted at $299) how does that work. i.e. With being back ordered, MBP would arrive later than the warranty. Is there a timeframe that the warranty needs to be activated?
Also, if there is a problem, do you return it to Amazon or Apple?
Thanks,

Apple doesn't care where you buy AppleCare from as long as you buy the AppleCare product that matches your computer. (If you have an iMac you buy AppleCare for iMacs, etc) What you get is a little box with a hardware diagnostics disk in it and a leaflet with a registration number. You go online to Apple's website and register AppleCare to your computer. A few weeks later you'll get a confirmation letter from Apple.
Just to ease your mind here, while I work for an Apple reseller and get an employee discount, I am almost always able to find AppleCare at a lower price at eBay or other reseller. If you buy from an eBay dealer, just be sure you are dealing with a reputable supplier. I've never had any trouble registering AppleCare for my notebooks nor have I had any trouble getting warranty repairs.

Stolen ipod, new ipod, same warranty?

My ipod touch was stolen last week, pretty lame but i've moved on. I'm thinking of buying a new ipod touch from a friend. I have bought warranty for my last ipod, and was wondering if it's possible to transfer that warranty to the new ipod?

No.
Applecare follows the ipod, not the person.
Sorry.

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new itunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted when i sync it to my new account?

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new i tunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted whin i sync it to itunes after purchasing new music?

I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
What is the way to actually contact Apple?
I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . .

So I just bought a used MacBook from Amazon with OSX 10.5.8. I am trying to install new software and operating system, but I don't have the passwords to the Users set up in the computer. What do I do?

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.

I just ordered an iPad 4 32gb from Amazon but sold by a store called iPadShop. In the customer reviews there were several reports of this store selling used and refurbished iPads as new. How can i verify mine is new and not used when it arrives.?

Ok, first time here, so forgive me if Im repeating the question. I just ordered a NEW iPad 4 32gb from Amazon, but is actually being sold by a seller called "iPadShop". Although this seller got a high approval rating of 4.9 there were several reports of customers receiving used and refurbished iPads but sold as new. Once I receive mine how can I verify it is new. Also, even the ones that were new were purchased by this seller and then resold, which shortened the life of the 1 year warranty offered by Apple..?

If you just ordered it, I suggest you cancel your order as soon as possible. If you can't contact Amazon, call your credit card company and cancel payment on that. Why go through worrying about the ipad you are paying for as new? If it's to save money, then that can be defeated if you get a used or refurbished ipad with a less than full one year warranty. You'll be dealing with the ipad shop's return policy which could mean that once you open it, it's yours, unlike when you buy from Apple you have a full 14 days to return it even if you've opened it.
I looked at Amazon and did not see a price difference. If cost led you to buy from Amazon, what are you saving?
I suggest you buy it directly from Apple. If cost is an issue, consider buying a refurbished ipad from the Apple online Refurbished store. I would not buy a refurbished anything from anywhere but the Apple online refurb store.
The ipad 4 32 gb is $499.00 refurbished - a savings of $100.00 vs. a new one. We bought two ipads last year and one as a gift this year and they have been great!
All ipads sold in the Apple refurb store come with new front and back covers, a brand new battery, a full one year warranty, and in case it matters, come in a new white Apple box like all ipads do. Earphones and charger are also included. You can also get the new Apple Care +, which insures up to three breakages (damaged glass, water damage, etc.) in two years.
Hope this helps.

If I purchase an iPod touch from somewhere other than Apple, can I buy and put an AppleCare plan on it?

I want to purchase an iPod touch from Target, but I think that the AppleCare warranty plan is better than the one that Target offers.

So if I purchase the AppleCare plan right now to go along with my iPod, do I just go through the AppleCare registration process to get everything set up?

I am trying to use itunes, it will not open at all, have uninstalled and downloaded new software and 64bit for windows. i have an old ipod nano from about 5 years ago. anything i can do, even to view my purchases and watch/listen to music etc?
