Old ipod no warranty

I have an old 3rd generation ipod touch that has been damaged. No warranty left. Is it worth it to take it to an Apple store to see if if can be fixed?
thanks

Likely not. What is "damaged"?
If a hardware problem
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

TS1369 i have just registered my new ipod but it doesnt appear in the menu for me to update it with the new music but it has put music into my old ipod....do i need to create a new apple i.d for my new ipod and create a second itunes app??

Hi,
O already have a really old ipod and just had a new one which i have registed today but when i have downloaded the itunes app onto my new laptop i cannot see the new ipod in the menu to update the music i have just purchsed.
Furthermore it seems to have put the new album into my old itunes so once i connect my old ipod i assume it will want to put it on there. I bought a new one as my old ipod is only 4gb and there is no space on it.
Can someone help please?

Registering an iPod or any other iDevice for warranty and support has nothing to do with the device appearing in iTunes. For what silly reason would you expect that to occur????
Honestly, it sounds like you have no clue how to use iTunes or sync media to the devices. Might be a good idea to read the User's Guide for the iPod to understand how to use it.

My bran new 4 day old IPod Touch 32GB just slipped onto my table and the glass on front has cracked bad - how do I get this fixed?

Hello
My New 4 day old IPod Touch 32 GB just slipped onto my kitchen table and the glass cracked - is it still under any warranty and how much will it cost to repair?

Accidental damage is not covered under the limited manufacturer's warranty, which is a year from the purchase date.
If you live near an Apple store, make an appointment.

What to do with old Ipod 4

Apple gave me back my broken Ipod 4 that they replaced with a new one for a price. I am just wondering what I can do with it now?

Anything yo want. Sell for parts.
I am surprised since Apple exchanges an old iPod for a refurbished one as an out-or-warranty replacement.

Does "restore from the back up of" transfer ALL data (pictures,songs,apps) from the old ipod?

I have recently got a new ipod touch 4th generation from my apple warranty and I am currently setting my new ipod up through itunes. I have come across the stage where it say "Restore from the backup of (my old ipods name)" and was wondering whether this would transfer all the data (pictures, songs, apps etc) from my old ipod to my new ipod? Thank-you

Just for clarification, the apps themselves, music and photos synced to the iPod have to be on your computer to be preent on your iPod after restoring from backup. The backup does not contain those items, then are always synced from the computer,

My two month old iPod Touch 5th Generation has a faulty earphone socket

Hi guys,
I have a two month old iPod Touch 5th Generation which has developed a faulty earphone socket. When I plug in my earphones, the music is distorted if I have the volume over halfway. I also use it to supply all the background music for church every week and I am struggling to get a good mix with it turned down so as not to distort. The situation is that it was a gift to me and the person who purchased it in January no longer resides in the UK and now cannot find the original receipt. However, someone did tell me that as soon as I switched on the iPod and setup the Wi-Fi and GPS, it sent information to Apple??
Question's are, is that true? Will Apple repair it without the original receipt?

I have checked the warranty details online as you suggested and it says it is under warranty until the 7th January 2015. I then tried to explain what the problem was, but it kept asking me to enter my telephone number but as this is a USA website, it did not recognise my telephone number, also that the stores that I could take it into were all in the USA. Have tried to see if there is an UK option on the site, but as yet, no Joy.

I set up a new iTunes account when i got an iPhone. how can i merge my old account with the new one? I am trying to update my old iPod on my new computer via my old iTunes account.

2-3 old ipod touch is no longer syncing to itunes library, which was recently moved to new laptop.

Recently moved my library of music, audiobooks, and podcasts to new laptop with Windows 8, at which time I upgraded my itunes software as well. My 2-3 year old ipod touch is no longer syncing properly. Audiobooks and podcasts are fine (after much effort), but all of two songs out of an extensive music library are the only ones syncing. I see them in my library on the new computer and have managed to sync them to my iphone 5 as well. Ipod touch appears to have ample file storage space left. What gives? Is the i-pod touch already useless with the latest Itunes software? Operator error? Hardware problem? I don't know what to think. Have been using ipods for years without this issue.

Salut, et un accueil chaleureux aux forums!

How do I return my iPhone 4 back to the way it was after I accidentally backed it up with my old iPod's information, and now all my contacts, messages, and photos are all gone?

So I went to plug my iPhone into my computer, automatically pulling up iTunes/iTunes Store. I notice that the computer isn't recognizing my iPhone, so I look at my phone and see that it is asking me if I want to trust this computer so I click yes. Then on the computer on iTunes it asks me if I want to save it as a new device (which I should've done) or save it as a previous device (and showed the names of other devices) and I picked the save as previous device under my old iPod, thinking that it would just save it and not mess with anything (mind you, I have never backed this iPhone up before)... So I wait for it to finish saving, and when it is I realize my phone looks nothing the same as it was when it was my iPhone a few minutes ago (except all the apps I hade downloaded unto the actual iPhone) and now looked like my old iPod. It deleted all of my contacts (except ones synced from Facebook), photos (but had all the photos from my old iPod), and deleted every message I had had with someone. I know I made a mistake, and I honestly don't know if this is something that can even be fixed... But I need to at least try.! So if someone could help, I would appreciate you a lot!

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

HT1296 how do I get the music and shows off of my old ipod to my computer then off the computer to my new ipod touch?

I want to move all of my music and videos to my new ipod touch via my computer, so how do I do this ? I currently have my songs on my old ipod classic.

First:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
The sync to the new iPod
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
or
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad

How do I select which bluetooth speakers to play out of? My iPod connects to both kitchen and living room speakers. My old iPod had a selection icon on the now playing screen, but my new one doesn't.

Hi,
Our setup
A new iPod Touch 5 with iOS 8.3.
Living room speakers that use a Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter.
Kitchen speakers that use an AmazonBasics Bluetooth 4.0 Audio Receiver.
The iPod connects to both but always wants to play to the kitchen. To play in the living room, we have to unplug the power to the kitchen speakers. Bluetooth settings screen doesn't let you select between Bluetooth connections. All I seem to be able to do is forget the connection.
We also have an old iPod Touch (not sure of the generation, but it has iOS 6.1.6). On that one, there is a little icon on the now playing screen that would open a little pull-down menu to let you select which Bluetooth connection to use for playing audio.
I don't see the "select output" icon on the new now playing screen
Jimmy
PS the iPod seems very aggressive in connecting. I hear the living room speakers activate when my wife gets out of the car in the driveway. Then as she comes into the living room, the sound switches to the kitchen.

Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

Itunes wont show my devices except my 6 year old ipod nano?

Iv tried reinstalling itunes, checking my drivers were up to date, buying a new usb cabel "from an apple store" and YES iv made sure my iphone/ipad is unlocked and hit trust this computer. i have an iphone 4s, iphone 4 and i also just bought an ipad air yesterday and that wont even show up in itunes!
after trying everything i could think of i found my old ipod nano and for some reason that shows up!
im running windows 8.1
i have the latest itunes
my laptop is an alienware 14.
can someone help me or do i just have to wait for the next itunes update to see if that works.

If it's an old enough nano, then it won't be using Apple Mobile Device Support to connect to iTunes. So, that suggests the problem may be with your Apple Mobile Device Support.
So let's try swapping your AMDS out.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
If the uninstall/reinstall goes through okay, do you now get recognition with your other devices?

I have an old ipod that i have not used in a very long time, ive had it on a charger now for over an hour and i still cnnot get my ipod to turn on, how can i fix my problem, i just downloaded the new version of itunes aswell, so i know its not my itunes.

i have an old ipod touch that i have not used in a very long time, and im having trouble gettign it to turn on. ive had it on a charger for over an hour now and still nothing hs changed. i just updated my itunes to the current version they haev so i know its not an itunes problem its rather a problem with the old ipod touch itself. im leaving for deployment soon and im trying to get this fixed without having to send it in. If anyone has any ideas on how to get this thing turned on it would be greatly appreciated.

Well, two thoughts.
The battery has completely discharged and will take overnight to recharge, so don't expect much in an hour.
The battery has deep discharged and is now dead. It will never recharge and should be replaced.
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.
The flat fee for a battery exchange is, I believe, $99.00 USD.

Are you sure you have a 4g/3g iPod? If you don't have a camera, it's definitely not 4G. If it has no camera and is 8 or 16 Gb it is a 2G and can't go beyond 4.2.1.

I just bought an iPhone and it seemed to be working well until I went to sync it to my computer and it synced under my old ipod. Now when I go to text it sends as my email and I can't change it to my phone number or anything. How can I fix this?

Pretty much what the title says but if for some reason it doesn't...
I just got an iPhone 4 today and it was working well until I went to hook it up to my computer and it asked me if I wanted to set it up as a new phone or back up all my stuff from my old ipod.
I accidentally clicked that and it had pretty much ruined my phone, deleted all contacts everything. I then did a reset through itunes and now when I send a text message it sends as my email instead of my phone number.
I've gone to settings->messages and turned off and on imessage and didn't fix it.
How do I fix this?

Yeah, you fried the phone big time.
Go into iMessage settings and set the Caller ID to your phone number.
