  • How much do apple charge to replace lock buttons? iPod touch 4g

    My brother has dropped his iPod touch and it landed on the lock button, the button no longer works. Does anyone know how much apple charge to replace it?

    Apple will exchange his unit for an alike iPod, they don't actually repair yours.  The following link will provide the information you need.  Click on repair pricing, then click on expand all.

  • Reboot/restart ipod touch with broken power button

    I dont think my ipod touch is broken but it wont turn on, the power button has always been broken and it cant be repaired. Is there a program or something i can download to completelty restart my ipod, I dont care about my apps or anything. I just want it to work

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    Instead of using the puttons to place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                         
    RecBoot tip
    For MAC or PC       
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I've heard of iPhones being cloud locked but you can still use them as a regular iPod touch, that's what my sister does at least. But what happens if an iPod is like that?

    I was looking at this iPod 5 on Ebay earlier and in the description it said iCloud locked. I've heard of iPhones being cloud locked but you can still use them as a regular iPod touch, that's what my sister does. But what does it mean when an iPod is cloud locked? Can I not do certain things? I would just like to know this in case I decide to buy. Thanks.

  • What would apple do if my ipod touch is broken and is still under warranty?

    What would apple do if my ipod touch is broken and is still under warranty?

    It depends on how it was broken. Apple are very strict when it comes to enforcing warrantys so unless the damage was a result of a manufacturing error then you have little chance of having your device replaced or serviced without having to pay a fee.
    The warranty states that Apple do not cover;
    damage resulting from accident - ie. accidentally dropping it
    liquid damage
    disassembly
    unauthorised service - ie. trying to fix the hardware yourself
    unauthorised modifications - ie. "jailbreaking"

  • My lock button on my phone is broken and my iphone won't turn on, what should I do? I really need help because i don't know what to do.

    My lock button on my iphone is broken and my iphone turned off somehow and won't turn on now. What do I do?

    Without the sleep/wake button, the only chance to turn it on is to connect it to the charger. You may have to wait for the battery to go completely dead. The only other choice would be to take the device to the Genius Bar for replacement.

  • My Home switch button wont respond on my ipod touch 4th generation what should i do?

    My Home switch on my Ipod touch wont respond what should i do?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with defect cables

    - Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

    If you get it to charge then:

  • Can we lock a stolen IPOD touch?

    can we lock a stolen IPOD touch from our other devices

    No app on the iPod is required.                            
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
