My iPod is out of Warranty? Um...Why?

Hey all, I checked on the online support center here on the Apple website for the first time. I put my serial number and pressed submit, at the bottom of the screen there was a window that says "Current Warranty Status" or something and right under it, it said "Out of warranty"....Um, I purchased this iPod on the 26th of December last year why is it already out of warranty? This is the one time I really need help from Apple and now it says it's out of warranty? Why? Should I just give the tech support team a call?

Hi,
If you provide proof of purchase (reciepts) that state the date of purchase, then you should still be eligable for technical support and/or warranty claims - as the Apple warranty *begins from the date of purchase.* - So you have 4 days.
+"Apple Computer, Inc. ("Apple") warrants this hardware product against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of ONE (1) YEAR from the date of original retail purchase."+
My suggestion is buy an AppleCare plan if you are still found to be in warranty, and get the extra year of tech support.
Kind regards,
Peter.

    Can I still download iPod software updates?
    Yes, assuming they're compatible with that iPod model. iOS 4 can't be used on the original iPod touch.

    This only affects how long Apple will freely provide technical support, repairs to, or replacement of the device.

  • IPod replacement - out of warranty

    My iPod isn't under the one year warranty anymore. I received it free from freeipods.com. I want to do an online service request and send it in to apple, but I have no idea how much a replacement will cost. Does anyone have an estimate?
    And if I get a new one back, does it come with a one year warranty?

    From the iPod Support FAQ:
    "My iPod warranty has expired. What are my service options?
    Apple offers two service options for iPods that are no longer within warranty. If your iPod, iPod photo, U2 iPod or iPod mini requires service only because the battery’s ability to hold an electrical charge has diminished, Apple will replace your iPod for a service fee of $59, plus $6.95 shipping.
    If you own an iPod, iPod photo, or U2 iPod and it requires service for any other issue, Apple will replace your iPod for a service fee of $249, plus $6.95 shipping. iPod mini customers can receive out of warranty service for $199, plus $6.95 shipping and handling. iPod nano customers can receive out of warranty service for $199 (2 GB model) and $249 (4 GB model), plus $6.95 shipping and handling.
    All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax. Replacement iPods may be new, used or refurbished. Service may not be available if your iPod has been damaged due to accident or abuse. Please review Apple’s Repair Terms and Conditions for further details. "
    ===========================
    The repair terms say that the replacement iPod will be guaranteed for 90 days. So if the problem is more than just a battery, you may well prefer to put the money toward a new iPod.

  • Can I get my broken ipod touch (out of warranty) replaced at an apple store?

    I plugged my ipod touch in to charge last night, the power went off and my ipod fried. I've tried holding the menu and lock button a number of times, but it won't turn on. I can replace it online, but I was wondering if I could visit an apple store and get it replaced there and then for the same price? The warranty has expired.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    You'll have to pay for the replacement, see this article about it:

  • My iPod 5 32bytes ios 8 no longer works and is out of warranty, how much money would it cost for me to exchange it to apple for a new one?

    My iPod 5th generation iOS 8 32bytes is not bringing me to my home screen and is unresponsive, and gives me the constant apple logo each time I try to turn it on. My iPod is out of warranty, so I was wondering how much money would it cost for me to return my iPod back to Apple for a new one?

    Apple does not have a trade-in program. You can either try and restore your iPod, or you can try and sell it yourself. In some locations, Apple does provide for a recycling program, but the amount provided for devices is quite low.

  • Broken Lock Switch, iPod out of Warranty???

    Okay, here's the dilemma... The lock button on my iPod touch 4th gen recently stopped working, but my iPod is out of warranty. The lock button seems to actually be stuck in the iPod, and doesn't click or anything when I try to press it. It is actually jammed into my iPod. Since I didnt drop the device, and this was obviously a defect, will apple replace this for no cost even though I am out of warranty? Thanks in advance!

  • Out of warranty sad iPod- what can i do?:,-(

    The past week or so my 4th gen 20gb iPod has been acting a bit crazy. It started out that sometimes the songs appered to skip, or just go to the next track mid song, play random snippets of songs etc- quite annoying to say the least. i reset it hoping it would just pull itself together but it didnt.
    so i moved on to trying to restore it, then the folder with the exclamation came up on the screen and when i tried to restore it it wouldnt work. i used disc utility to do a 'first aid' on it- it did show up in disc utility but not on the desktop or on itunes. the first aid showed 2 minor errors, can't remember what now, i just tried to do the first aid again but the ipod isnt showing up at all now.
    it just seems the more i use my ipod, the worse it gets.
    the worst thing of all is that its a month out of warranty. im a cash-strapped student that cant afford a new ipod so i desperatley want to get this one fixed. Does anyone have suggestions what i could do with it or any ideas how much an out of warranty repair would cost? i looked at the ipod service faq's and it said if you send in your ipod they will replace it but it will cost you nearly as much as a new ipod.
    its also making a clicking noise when the disk spins up, it spins and stops when it clicks. a friend of mine who is studying computer science thinks it has had a head crash (whatever that means...) and that its possible to get the hard disk replaced. does anyone know if this is posible? i live in dublin, ireland, does anyone know anywhere i could go for advice or to get it repaired? i would really appreciate any comments or suggestions, bus journeys are very boring without music!
    Aoife

    Thanks everyone for your advice, although i dont think im going to try chucking it off any sofas. unfortunatley there are no apple stores in ireland but im contacting the 3 apple authorised resellers in dublin. so far they have directed me to an ipod repairer in the uk - www.ukipodrepairs.co.uk, if anyone is interested. its gona cost me at least 125 pounds sterling (180 euro, 220 dollars) to get it fixed- i ain't made of money people!
    is it common for an ipod to go kaputt after just over a year? i feel very hard done by because i didn't do anything to it to make it stop working. could it be a manufacturing problem?

  • How do i get a shipping box for out-of-warranty ipod battery replacement?

    i have signed up online to have my ipod battery replaced. the pod is out of warranty. the email reply only tells me to pack it well because apple won't deal with it if it is damaged in shipment. the only instructions i have found in my search at the apple site seem to deal with apple automatically sending the shipping package for in-warranty pods.
    can anyone help?
    thank you in advance,

    Usually, it takes about a week from the moment you
    request the box till you have the iPod back.
    gee, apple acknowledged my request for a replacement on 0905, but i don't have a box yet.
    i called my apple store, and they also said that apple would send me a box.
    i just noticed that you said "from the moment you request the box." how do i request a box? i have only "ordered" the replacement battery -- apple terms it an "apple product replacement request."
    i guess i am impatient, but i'm beginning to feel that i am in the middle of a kafka novel.
    chris, can you think of anything else?
    thanks.

  • 'Dead' spot on ipod touch screen - 103 days out of warranty - any ideas?

    There is a section of the screen that is 'dead' and it is where the cancel & ok buttons are - this means that I can't play games properly and can't download apps etc as I can't touch ok. I went to the genius bar and they said it was 103 days out of warranty so buy a new one or live with it! Have done the 5 Rs, no joy so it is hardware. Surely it is reasonable to expect that a product doesn't break down in this way after just 18 months? Is there any consumer legislation that can help me get it fixed / replaced? Thanks for any help.

    I feel your pain. My 1st generation Touch lost Wi-Fi three weeks after the warranty expired. Apple said, "hardware failure" and told me they'd replace it with the same model for $129 or I could buy a new one. It cost $400 when new! I think it should last longer than a year and three weeks. I purchased the Touch on a credit card that has an extended warranty program. I'm working with the credit card company to replace the failed iPod.

  • How do I find out my iPod touch 4th generation warranty information

    I dropped my iPod touch 4th generation on the tar and cracked the screen. I am unaware if you need your warranty information to get it repaired. This is the first time it has ever Borlaug in the time frame of the warranty. If I do need it how do I find it, I have been on the site for about two hours and it is not telling me how to.

    A broken screen is not covered by the warranty.  Here is a list of out-of-warranty replacement pricing: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/ You do not need any information to get this price.
