My ipod is 4g and only a few weeks old and it broke, will the replace/repair it for free?
my ipod is 4g and only a few weeks old, and i dropped it a week after and got a tiny crack and it worked fine. then two weeks later(yesterday) it fell off of this planter and when i picked it up i expected if to be all cracked and shattered, but it was in great shape, then in the car i tried to use it, adn it was off. so i tried turning it on, resetting it, connecting it to power, and everything. it wont be detected in itunes either, so i dont know what happened. will they replace it since its only a few weeks old? and i looked at my service and support coverage and it said that the warranty is still active, and on the support-repair-pricing page in small print it reads:
Warranty service for eligible repairs is available at no charge for twelve months from the date of purchase.
so willl they fix/replace it? pllease help asap
The warranty also excludes:
(d) to damage caused by accident,
abuse, misuse, liquid contact, fire, earthquake or other external
cause;
That is your case.

Why does time capsule go missing from the network. The green light is lit at all times. I am unable to use the software the only thing I can do is power cycle time capsule, by unplugging and plugging the mains back in.
My time capsule is only a few weeks old, any ideas?
I am new to apple products very impressed with iPhone 5, I pad, iMac. Really not sure about time capsule!
ThanksAn external drive is much more reliable.. the issue has to do with network connection and loss of something.. although I am sorry I cannot tell you exactly what. The computer is still connected, still works on internet but has actually lost the hard disk.. lost and cannot find it without a restart.
If you want to try a few changes it can help.
1. If you are connected by ethernet make sure wireless is off in the imac.. having only one network connection is better than two.
2. Redo the TC setup with all short names.. no spaces.. pure alphanumeric. Apple has these long names with spaces and characters like apostrophe by default but they are not a help.
3. If the TC is the main router then reduce the dhcp lease time.. make it 20min.. that keeps everything refreshed and up to date.
None of those fix it but they may help stretch out the interval. -
I dropped my ipod touch and its shattered in the corner but there are multiple cracks along the whole screen everything works perfectly but I was wondering if the Apple Store in Brent Cross, London, would be willing to swap it or change it at no expense. Does anyone know about this store from experience or.....? It looks ugly now and I hate it please help and reply, for everyone living in North London going though the same problem or maybe will do in the future.
Thankyou that information was very helpful. And I was aware that the one year limited warranty does not cover accidental damage but it turned out that specific store did take back my iPod touch and covered the cost. Due to the fact my iPod wasn't even a year old. Although if it were to happen again I would have to pay about £130 to cover the cost. Apple Customer Service is amazing and they treat the customers really well.

I updated to an iphone5 and only a few of my photos came in from the photostream how ever all of the are still on my iPad?! How do I get the rest of the photos over to my iphone5?!
First of all, photo stream only saves up to 1000 photos and up to 30 days before they are deleted. The only thing you can do at this point is to sync the photos from the ipad to a computer and then sync to the iphone 5.

I still have my guarantee, could i go to a apple store to replace the screen for free?
No, accidental damage is not covered by the warranty
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
The following will void the remainder of the warranty
A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

Please help - only a few months old and it shut down
I had 8 explorer windows open. (When ever that happens explorer sometimes flickers and the shuts down.) So it began, the a window popped up "Explorer is shutting down" Then the computer shut down. When i turned it back on it would go to recovery but would restart itself only to go back to recovery. So I found recovery disc and now its erasing everything.
I had a lot of work saved on this computer. I know it will all be erased, but more improtantly - why did this happen and how can I fix it? It was plugged in when it happened.Which computer? Which Windows? Which Explorer?

I've paired by iPad with my Nokia phone. Bluetooth is turned on on both items, but when I try to send a photo from my phone to my iPad, I get a message on my phone saying "it's not supported by the other device". Is there a fault on my iPad? Or have I not set something up properly? I'm at my wit's end, as I'd like to upload photos while I'm on holiday.
Sorted! Apparently iPad is just not geared up for Bluetooth except for keyboard and headsets!

Shuffle dead - only a few weeks old
I had the earlier one I think 512 Meg and the volume kept sticking on loud. Went to buy headphones and realized a new ipod wasn't much more so went and got the 2Gig.
Been lovin it. Today I charged it up, left for the gym and noticed it wouldn't play. No light - nothing. Came home, plugged it in cradle, it lit up, showed up yellow stayed on for awhile then went off.
I can't get iTunes to find it to save my life. I tried another iPod to see if it was iTunes and that one is fine.
Any ideas?
thanksI'm guessing you're right. I know someone at the Apple Store (he was on vacation for quite awhile) and he just replaced it even though it was beyond 14 days because there was never a problem till around 25 days.
thanks -
I have an ipod Classic 80G. It is a few years old and hasnt been used for a while. I have just tried to sync it to my new Mac and it says theat thei ipod is synced with another itunes account!!!
It was orriganally managed through my old pc but as far as i am aware the itunes account is the same. If i sync with my mac it will remove all that is in the Classsic and replace it with current itunes!
How can i get round this ?Hi Becki ..
You need to "authorize" the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.
More details here > iOS: Syncing with iTunes -
I can not sync my iPhone after restoring it - my computer only gives me the restore (again and again and again) option. I have no music and only a few aps now on my iPhone. Any tips before I go to the genius bar?
If you restored as new, without using a backup, and still only get an option to restore, there is a hardware problem or the phone was previously hacked (jailbroken, downgraded iOS, unauthorized unlock). Your only option is to take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

Some colors in the HP tri-color cartridges dry up and stop working only a few weeks after purchase
HP Deskjet 4180
Genuine HP Tri-Color #22 ink cartridge and Black #21 ink cartridge
Windows 7
Test printing from Photoshop, Windows Picture Viewer and GIMP.
Some colors in the HP tri-color cartridges dry up and stop working only a few weeks after purchase.
The experience that I'm having currently contradicts very good, accurate color from HP cartridges in the past from RGB images that I've printed successfully with this printer. I've previously got excellent color from the true HP ink cartridges on this Deskjet 4180 printer.
But today it is obvious that the yellow is not flowing from this cartridge that was installed only a few weeks ago. And my ink levels are at 50 percent, and they were even higher when I started today... see the screenshots below.
I'm printing from Photoshop, but for some tests I tried printing from two other applications today but I'm always getting these results that indicate that there is no yellow printing... this is much worse than just a bad color profile. I'm an experienced photo retoucher and I have a long history of dealing with inkjet printing in the work place with all kinds of printers.
I know that inks can dry up in their cartridges if they don't get printed with every few weeks and if the printer isn't maintained. I purchased these new cartridges only about three weeks ago and the first test prints and some prints two weeks ago came out perfect.
But today this is the result I'm getting... screenshots below show the original RGB image and an actual scan of the bad print results I'm getting, indicating that no yellow is flowing from the HP tri-color cartridge. And a screenshot of the ink level indicator panel is at the bottom.
Why is the yellow ink drying up and not flowing so quickly? How can I prevent this besides doing semi-weekly prints to keep the inks from drying up? I'm in a fairly humid climat, so dry air is not the problem. The contact points on the cartridge are clean.
Does HP guarantee their cartridges for this kind of thing?
Good color - original RGB image...
Bad color - actual scan of bad print with no yellow, below...
Ink levels after test printing...
Thanks for any help.
digiWell, here is the answer I was looking for, only arrived at by way of my own further investigation and experimentation.
It seems that no matter who I asked about this problem, I always got the same questions and answers.
For example, the people at the HP 800 number for consumer help, where it seemed I was not talking to someone who was actually familiar with the product, because they came to the conclusion that I need to buy a new HP printer... wow, isn't that a big surprise for an HP employee to say, "Just buy a new one!".
No one, and I mean no one, would seem to be able to listen to or understand what I wrote in my original question on this thread about how this printer prints fine when I first put in a new ink cartridge, and then just a few weeks later one or two of the colors seem to be dried up and they won't print.
And it seems that somewhere I read that you need to print a test maintenance print every month or so to keep the inks from drying up... but the inks seem to be drying up in less than three weeks now, even though I used to be able to go for months without doing a print and the inks would still be fine.
So when I was talking to someone in India, Malaysia or the Philippines at the HP 800 customer phone support number, after going through so much crap about whether this printer was still in warranty just to have a simple question answered you'd think I was trying to launch nuclear missiles and my launch codes weren't current.
And it was much the same situation to get on HP's "Live Chat" customer service on the net, and then they'd go through the same line of questions and answers as the support people on the HP 800 phone line...
Q: "Do you have dirty nozzles on your ink cartridges?"
A: "No, like I said in my original statement, I cleaned those and they weren't dirty to begin with."
Response: "Because you need to clean those every so often, you know."
Q: "Did you try cleaning the contacts on the cartridges?"
A: "Yes, like I said in my original statement, I already did that."
Response: "Because you need to clean those contacts every so often, you know."
Q: "Did you try putting in a new cartridge?"
A: "Yes, like I said in my original statement, this cartridge is nearly new and it shows a 90% ink level."
Response: "Because you need to put in new cartridges when the ink runs out, you know."
Q: "Did you do a test print?"
A: "Yes, like I said in my original statement, I did a test print and that's what is telling me that the yellow and magenta are not printing any longer."
Response: "Because that's how you can tell if any colors aren't printing, you know."
So is anyone else seeing a pattern here? It's not like I'm talking or live chatting with a real human being, but maybe an automated voice prompt system that only has an A, B, C or 1, 2, 3 type of response system that it's working from.
The people hear a answer, and regardless of what that question was in the troubleshooting category that they are in, they just have a stock response that seems to bypass what the customer's answer was, so it's like I'm talking or live chatting with a machine that is uttering its responses in a fixed pattern, regardless of what I'm saying.
HP customer service is like talking to someone who isn't listening, so often they ask their next question, but I just answered that question with my previous answer.
Like I said, the way it used to be, HP or even after market ink cartridges could sit for months without doing a maintenance print and I would still get a perfect print every time. And that's pretty typical for maybe an older person who isn't printing prints that often, but they just want to print one every few months or so, like my mom, with her HP printer, who I've been troubleshooting this problem for.
Or even with my own large format Epson printer or any of the pro level inkjet printers and even IRIS printers that I've used in the workplace over the course of the last 20 years... you could do a print every two months and there was no problem with dried up inks.
And I know somewhere in the past I read that the maintenance print that the instructions was recommending be printed only needed to be done every 4 to 6 weeks to keep the inks from drying up, although when I go through the entire full blown PDF instruction manual now I can't find ANYTHING about how often a maintenance print needs to be done... that's right, nothing!
But on Christmas eve I once again exchanged my last, dried up HP tri-color ink cartridge at a Walgreens store where my mom had purchased it months prior (and the guy was nice enough to exchange it even after 5 months) which was yet another HP tri-color ink cartridge that had at least two of it's colors dry up after only a few weeks. At that Walgreens they had been nice enough to replace three prior HP tri-color ink cartridges with the same problem in the last year, and before that three different after market, off brand tri-color ink cartridges from another store had dried up after only a few weeks.
So the guy at Walgreens told me that now with HP cartridges you need to do a maintenance test print EVERY WEEK in order to keep the inks from drying up... THAT'S EVERY WEEK YOU ARE NOW SUPPOSED TO DO A TEST PRINT FOR MAINTENANCE.
Now, you DO NOT need to do one of the test prints where it prints a photo of a pear, which uses quite a bit of ink, but you can just do one of the self test prints where you hold down on the CANCEL button and then press the COLOR COPY button and it prints a quick test page with just a little color and a lot of B&W text, and that's apparently enough.
And that seems to be enough to keep the ink cartridges from drying up, the way they seem to be otherwise doing so quickly now, as opposed to how HP and other brand ink cartridges used to.
And in fact, now after about a month, after doing weekly self test prints, the ink cartridges are still flowing well and they just did some full color prints quite nicely... ALERT THE MEDIA AND ANYONE WHO CONSIDERS THEMSELVES HP PRINTING EXPERTS!
So the questions I would ask myself are these...
First, why is it that NO ONE at HP customer service knew this, whether it be on the HP 800 phone support or on the HP "Live Chat" with people in India, Malaysia and the Philippines, or even here on the HP Help Forum with so-called EXPERTS from HP?
Second, how have the inks changed so that in the past, you didn't need to do maintenance prints every week, but maybe every two months at the most, in order to keep the inks from drying up, but now the inks dry up in a matter of less than two weeks unless a maintenance print is done once a week?
Have HP and other ink makers changed the formula of their inks so they dry up much faster, forcing people to buy new cartridges when the last ink cartridge is still at a 90% level with dried up ink?
And as a result, are people on the HP 800 customer phone support line and on HP "Live Chat" telling people that they need to buy a new printer, when in actuallity their ink cartridges are just drying up within a new record short period of time?
You tell me, HP experts. -
My iPod was stolen a long a few months ago and I've given up all hope in finding it. I have never purchased item on iTunes, and I think the iCloud might have been deleted. It doesn't show up in "My products" too and I tried Find My iPhone.
No. Apple won't do anything without a court order. Since it wasn't upgraded to iOS 7 before it was stolen then there's nothing you can do. You could file a police report with your serial number but there may be a small chance.
