Replacement Program: headphones required?

I joined to the iPod nano (1st generation) Replacement Program. Do I have to send to Apple headphones too? Unfortunately I do not have them anymore because they got broken long ago.
(I apologize if I did something wrong, this is my first message. And I apologize for my bad English too!)

Just type in your serial number to find out if your unit is eligible. They do not ask any questions about unit condition.

Subject: iPod nano (1st generation) Replacement Program
Dear iPod nano owner,
Apple has determined that, in very rare cases, the battery in the iPod nano (1st generation)may overheat and pose a safety risk. Affected iPod nanos were sold between September 2005 and December 2006.
This issue has been traced to a single battery supplier that produced batteries with a manufacturing defect. While the possibility of an incident is rare, the likelihood increases as the battery ages.
Apple recommends that you stop using your iPod nano (1st gen) and follow the process noted below to order a replacement unit, free of charge.
Note: This battery issue is specific to the iPod nano (1st gen) and does not affect any other iPod.
Replacement Process
You may order a replacement unit via the web. Click here to begin. (http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano_replacement/?cid=CDM-US-DM-P0010121-CON&cp =em--&sr=em)
Your iPod nano serial number will be checked to verify that it is eligible for this program. You will receive a replacement unit approximately 6 weeks after we receive your current iPod nano (1st gen).
If you have a personalized iPod nano, you will receive a non-personalized replacement. Make sure to use iTunes to back up any data on your current iPod nano before sending it in for a replacement unit.
Additional Information
Identifying an iPod nano (1st gen):
It has a black or white plastic front and a silver metal back - later iPod nano models have a metal front and back.
If you need assistance with placing an order, please visit an Apple Retail Store or anApple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) and bring your iPod nano with you for serial number validation.
Your replacement iPod product is warranted to be free from defects for 90 days from the date of service.
Thank you for participating in this program.
Sincerely,
Apple"

Ipod replacement program: headphones ' compatibility

Hello,
I partecipated to the IPod nano replacement program and Friday I received the new IPod (only the IPod, without headphones and the USB device): it's a 6G ipod nano touch. Little problem: the headphones of my old 1g ipod nano don't work with the new ipod. Is this problem common to other partecipants of the replacement programs?
Thank you in advance!
Max

The headphone jack on the 6th generation Nano is very tight when new. Push the one you have now firmly all the way in, make sure the white plastic on the headset jack is flush with the body of the Nano.

How does the Apple Headphones with Remote Replacement Program non-return fee work?

I have a pair of Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic that I purchased a year ago. According to the "Apple Headphones with Remote Replacement Program", http://www.apple.com/support/headphones/replacementprogram/, these headphones are also covered in the program. Currently, there are some issues with my headphone's remote, as it is extremely unresponsive. I don't know how Apple determines the headphone's purchase date, but their online service request page accepts my iPhone's serial number. Is there any way that i could ensure that Apple's willing to replace the headphones for free (E.g. mailing my current ones in first) because the non-return fee is basically its retail price. I do not live in the US so I can't go and exchange at an Apple Retail Store. Thanks in advance.

I would just bring them into your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and ask.

Apple's Adapter Replacement Program

Hello,
Im having trouble with my charger works sometimes and sometimes does not. I saw this article about Apple's Adapter Replacement Program (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4127).
I have an L type charger and bought my MBP in 2010. Am I eligible for this replacement?
Thanks

It's pretty clear here:
Resolution
Whether your product is in or out of warranty, you can take your adapter to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement if necessary. Pending the results of evaluation, you may or may not be eligible for a replacement adapter free of charge. Signs of accidental damage would negate any coverage. Be sure to bring in the computer used with the adapter; it is required to process potential adapter replacements.

Apple HDD replacement program Q's

Hi guys, sorry if my questions are quite trivial but I'm afraid of messing something up that will require multiple Apple store trips and or money. Long story short I finally decided I'm going to take my iMac to my nearest Apple store to be serviced under the HDD replacement program announced last year.
But I have a few questions about the whole process and how to make sure everything goes as smooth as possible.
1- I undesrtand I have to have a Time Machine back up or HDD Clone. Some people here actually recommend not to use the latest Time Machine back up, But instead doing so from a HDD Clone. Why?
2- I know I'll be erasing the old Drive before taking the iMac for service, what's the best way to do this?
3- Do I need to take my after market bought RAM before taking the Computer for service?
4- For those of you who have already gotten their machines serviced: do they return it with Mountain Lion already installed on it?
5- After getting the machine what will it be the best option, Use Set Up Assistant or Migration Assistant, and will I get accest to that by booting up while holding
the "C" key?

1. My preference is to use a clone. I made a fresh clone; the tech replaced the hard drive; we booted from the clone and cloned the system back - very fast process and your machine will be in the exact same state as it was before.
2. Boot from your new clone (or your install disk) and use Disk Utility to erase your drive (you can't erase the drive you're booted from).
3. No.
4. I had mine done at my home (compliments of Applecare) and instructed the tech to use one of my clones. I've heard differing reports - some say ML was installed, others said that they got it back with the original system. If you have a clone, it does not matter what they install - simply boot from the clone when you get it back, erase the drive, and clone your system back.
5. If you use the clone method, no Migration Assistant is needed.
Edit: If you have a clone on an external drive, you simply plug in the drive, hold the Option key at boot up and choose the clone to boot from. From there, launch CarbonCopyCloner and clone your system back.

Apple says small number of Apple TVs have WiFi issues, opens replacement program

I have an AppleTV 3rd generation with issues of connectivity when I use the Radio. Every 10 or 15 minutes disconnects from showing an error on the screen, I research on the internet and apparently there is a program to replace some devices due a known malfuncion with the WiFi.
I always blamed to my cheap router and the poor internet connection I had in my former country Argentina. Now i moved to Chile and i have a nice Cisco/Linksys router and the issue persists.
Please check the links below about the replacement program:
http://www.macworld.com/article/2034731/report-apple-replacing-some-third-gen-ap ple-tv-units-with-wi-fi-issues.html
http://9to5mac.com/2013/04/15/apple-says-small-number-of-apple-tvs-have-wifi-iss ues-opens-replacement-program/
I would like to know if this program exists and also if my device is under this program.
The serial number of my AppleTV is C0*****RHN.
<Edited by host>

That program was from over a year ago, it is no longer running. It still required proper troubleshooting to occur. It wouldn't have to do with an internet connection as this an issue with the local/wifi network, a cheap router will impact performance but there are other factors.
Using ethernet will help to see if there's a wifi issue. Get a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar, look for signal strength and noise.
If your network looks ok then I would take to Apple for testing, if it is found to be defective then they are usually good about replacement.

Your warranty on the iPod has expired, so this is what Apple say.
"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 with color display, 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, and it requires service for any other issue, Apple will replace your iPod for the service fee listed below, plus $6.95 shipping and handling.
iPod $249
iPod Nano & iPod Mini $189
iPod shuffle (1 GB) $89
iPod shuffle (512 MB) $59"
If it's just a battery replacement you require, there are cheaper options if you Google 'iPod mini batteries'.

My BT keyboard delete button now forward deletes rather than backspacing like it used to do. This happened after I got my iMac back from the hard drive replacement program. Any ideas how to return the keyboard to the default backspace?

The good news after my hard drive was replaced during Apple's Seagate replacement program -- all my data and settings reinstalled seamlessly through Time Machine and my external hard drive. Bad news? My BT keyboard will now only forward delete when I hit the delete key rather than backward delete. I find this so ironic since I hated this feature when I switched from PC to Mac, but now I'm totally used to it. I tried resetting the default under system preferences, but it didn't help. Otherwise, keyboard works perfectly. This is so strange. Anyone have any suggestions? Oh -- and now I see my arrows don't work either.

Has the NVidia GeForce 8600M GT logic board replacement program been extended by a year?

I have heard that the logic board replacement program for MacBooks Pro with the failed NVidia 8600M GT chip has been extended from 3 to 4 years after the date of original purchase. However, a local AASP had no knowledge of such an extension. Is this true? I have a MacBook Pro 17" 2.6GHz that was purchased in 2008.

when you took it in, it had been more than four years since your 2007 machine was originally sold, that's why you got the response you did.
Actually it was within the time frame, it felt like it was just last month, when it was like several months ago.
Just dragged the 15" recently out to see to use it for testing *cough* and low and behold it's worthless now.
The problem I have is I told them at the Genius Bar the video was going, but couldn't prove it as it was very rare it occured.
But they ran their little tests and gave me a load of crap, now it's dead. $2500 down the toilet.
I know what did it, Lion. Lion was the cause, it ran like a fine machine under Snow, fscking Lion, I'm glad I didn't put that POS on my new 17"

I sent in my iPod nano to the replacement program about two weeks back. However, I checked the status of the repair and it still says it has not been received yet. Is there any way to follow up on where the nano could be? I sent it via FedEx.

I sent in my iPod nano to the replacement program about two weeks back. However, I checked the status of the repair and it still says it has not been received yet. However, my boyfriend sent in his the same time I did and his repair status says repair being diagnosed. I still have the "receipt" of the package when they first sent it to me. I sent it via FedEx. Is there any way to follow up on where the nano could be or maybe find out if I can still get a replacement even though my nano might be lost in transit?

I sent it via FedEx.
Call FedEx. They will be able to track their own packages. They will let you know if your iPod Nano was delivered and to who!

My country is not listed in 1st generation iPod Nano replacement program

Hello;
When I first heard about the replacement program, there were no Apple stores in Turkey. So I couldn't get my replacement. Now we do have an Apple Store in İstanbul. Last week I went there with my 1st gen iPod nano and explained them the issue, showedthe e-mail apple has sent to me few years ago about the replacement program and asked if I can get a replacement here. They said they have no information on such issue. Turkey is also not listed on the online. What should I do to have my replecement?

I called AppleCare and they weren't much help.
Instead of calling Apple Care, call Apple Customer Relations (1-800) 275-2273. Wait for a human to come on the line and ask politely and firmly that you want to be transferred over to the Customer Relations department.

Hard Drive Replacement Program - Will Apple come to me?

Hello,
I have an imac 27" iMac with one of the affected hard drives. As you know these are not small machines and i'm concerned about transporting it to an Apple store.
As i have AppleCare, will I be able to arrange for an engineer to come out to me to replace the hard drive?
Regards
Scott

Wrong. If under AppleCare and, in least in the US, if you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. Additionally, others who don't have the AppleCare PP have had onsite service under the same conditions for the HD replacement. There's no need to haul it around if eligible. For the OP, call and ask for it.
