My iPod touch is faulty. it is less than 2 years old.  Will apple replace it even if its not within warranty?

Ipod touch issues include faulty home button, and only half a day battery life.  It is less than 2 years old but no extended warranty.  I have heard Apple will replace??

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price as an out-of-warrany replacement. They do not fix yours.

  • HT201263 my ipod touch 4th gen isnt work after a long time with 0 percent battery power.Then its not working. computer doesnt respond to my ipod .only black screen is appearing it even not wake up after reset it what can i do please help me

    my ipod touch 4th gen isnt work after a long time with 0 percent battery power.Then its not working. computer doesnt respond to my ipod .only black screen is appearing it even not wake up after reset it what can i do please help me

    After being connected to a charging source overnight try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

  • Does anyone know why my iPod Touch 5G battery drains in less than 4 hours?

    Hello fellow Apple users. I am having battery issues with my iPod Touch 5G. It's only 6 months old and already the battery is draining quickly. It used to last me around 9-10 hours on a single, full charge (on iOS 6) Playing with games didn't affect the battery very much, so I'm assuming there's a battery bug with iOS 7? If not, may I please hear your suggestions?

    You may want to poke around in notifications. There's a ton of stuff defaulted to on that you may not need. As well as background app refresh and background app update. When those are on your iPad regularly reaches out to get more info and that can affect your battery.

  • Ipod Touch - new out of the box - 3 years old

    I was given a new 1st gen Touch (16gb) almost 3 years ago but never opened it (lost track of it when we moved, then just stayed with my nano). Opened it tonight, plugged it into the USB port of my PowerBook, but it was just kind of sitting there. Did a reset and iTunes 7.7.1 tried to work with it but then says the Touch is defective. Is this just a battery issue? Can a new Lithium-Ion battery sit for three years then charge up like normal? Should an overnight charge do it? thank you.

    As this is the first time using the iPod Touch I would charge it overnight and if it functions I would upgrade it to iOS3. You can do so here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052
    You will need at least iTunes 8.2 for iOS 3.0.x.
    All batteries have a shelf life. At least give it a go.

  • Is 8GB enough for ipod touch. Want to buy for 10 year old, Is 8GB enough for ipod touch. Want to buy for 10 year old

    Want to buy I pod touch for a 10 year old.  Is 8 GB enough?

    The 8 GB model only has a little over 6 GB available to the user.  Video take up a lot of storage space and the 4G iPod has a video comerai.  Some other users have postd that they wished that they have purchased the 32 GB model since ther are running out of room.  I purchased a 32 GB model.

  • My iPad charger has once again inevitably ripped at the end. It's been less than a year, so will apple replace it for free?

    My first iPad charger was handled with some roughness, so as such I never argued when I was told I had to pay to replace it when it tore. However, now the the second one tore in less than 6 months, and I found a number of other people with this problem, I wondered if apple would replace it free. My new cable was handled with care and I even added an old pen spring to avoid this happening again.

    There's only one way to find out what Apple might do in your case. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
    I will say though that I've had two iPads and an iPhone and my wife also has an iPhone. Total use time is 6-7 years and we've never had a cable tear or fail.

  • Battery is less than year old. Not holding a charge. Now what?

    I Bought a new battery less than a year a go since the original wasn't holding a charge. The new one is doing the same thing. Now what do I do?

    Did you buy a battery directly from Apple or a cheap third party knock off? Experience has taught me that you get what you pay for. Buy a better battery and follow the tips here for maximizing it's life.

  • Iphone 4s less than year old att, want work, blue and white lines black screen

    I have a iphone 4s with ATT, not even a year old.  I dropped phone and now the screen is black with blue and white lines.  I have attempted to reset the phone with no success.  Is this a matter I can resolve with ATT or do I have to drive to genuis bar to get resolved?

    It's probable that the iPhone has suffered hardware damage, and I don't believe an AT&T Store can do anything for you on such issues. You'll need to take or send your iPhone to Apple and pay their out-of-warranty service charge to get the iPhone replaced.
    Regards.

  • Will apple replace my 2 gn ipod thats out of warenty

    my ipod tuch 2 gn tuch screan broke and so did the glass will they replace it even know its out of warenty

    Hi,
    Apple does not have an iPhone replacement service, but they do have display repair service. So you may arrange the display repair for $149,99, send them your iPhone, and they will send make a like for like change. You may receive:
    -the best case - the new iPhone 2G, (of course not retail box, no charger or other accesories, you will receive just phone sealed in tape, in a small white box).
    - the worst case - the new iPhone 3G, 3GS or 4 (the same no retail box, etc.).
    If you are lucky, you will receive the iPhone 2G which is more than $500 worth on eBay.
    Regards,
    Oleg.

  • I have a 2nd or 3rd generation iPod touch. Recently, it doesn't recognize headphones and will only play music through it's speakers. I've tried cleaning the area where you plug in the headphones but this has not helped. What should I do?

    My ipod touch (2nd or 3rd generation) won't recognize headphones anymore! I have'nt gotten it wet or dropped it. I've tried cleaning out the plug where you plug the headphones in. I've had no luck. Is this fixable or is it time to trash this iPod?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • HT3965 I got what appears to be a reconditioned (pre-owned) iPod Touch 4 for Christmas.  How can I change the Apple ID on tis device so I can use it with my iTunes Acct and Wi-Fi network?  Thanks.

    I received what appears to be a reconditioned iPod Touch 4th for Christmas.  How do I change the Apple ID on the device to my ID so I can use my iTunes account?  Thanks for any help/

    It would probably be best to attach the iPod to a computer and restore it. This way you'll know it's wiped clean. Then, when you start up the iPod it will ask you for your Apple ID.
