Returning ipod in a different country?

I was given an Ipod classic as a gift about 2 and a half months ago. At the end of last week, while I was using it, it rebooted itself, loaded as far as the menu screen, and immediately rebooted itself, and has been doing the same thing since then (so, a good couple of days of continually rebooting - its plugged into the mains at the moment). If I run the battery down, as soon as I plug it into a source of power, it does the same thing, and my computer won't recognise it as it doesn't load up for long enough before rebooting.
Anyway, I tried to get an appointment at a Genius bar in London, but there are none available this week it seems. My problem is that on Sunday, I am leaving England to move to the Netherlands, and I'd like my ipod working before I go. Either I could just take it back to the store and get a replacement (I'm assuming I don't have to go through genius to do this, but they may send it off to check it and I may not get it back before I go, plus will lose the engraving on the back I guess, if they give me a straight swap). But the other option is, that I return it in the Netherlands, and ask them to send me a new one there (with engraving on - it's probably a bit silly, but it was a gift and I'd feel a bit of an idiot if I engraved a lovely message to myself!)
So, can you return ipods bought in one country to an apple shop in another country? Or does anyone have any better ideas?
Any advice would be massively helpful!
Thanks

As the iPod warranty is worldwide, you shouldn't have any problem filling out the service request when in Holland.
I've returned an iPod bought in the USA here in England and got a replacement (although it wasn't engraved).

Using an ipod in a different country!

I have a 3rd Generation ipod which i bought in the UK and i used a itunes with my PC, I am now living in Canada and have itunes on the PC i use here but i can not play my music through the PC or upload any music onto my ipod, any suggetions?

forgive me if I'm jumping to conclusions... but it sounds as though you are using 2 different PCs. 1 in the UK, 1 in Canada. If this is not the case then please disregard what I'm about to say.
In order to play music from an iPod on a computer other than the one used to put the music on, you'll need to set the iPod for manual update in iTunes preferences. This will allow access to the music on the iPod for the sake of playback.
Secondly, the iPod can only be updated from one computer or another. You're unable to update the iPod from the music library on two different computers without one erasing the other. If you want to get rid of the music on the iPod the iPod updater can be used to restore it back to factory settings, at which point you should be able to update it on the PC in Canada just fine.
Hope this helps,

Charging iPod in a different country

Does anybody know if I will need anything other than a standard plug-in converter to charge my 80GB Classic with the iPod USB Power Adapter from Canada when I go to mainland China?

No; you can just use the converter. Voltage switching is done by the USB power adapter.

Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back

Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back.
Im in u.s., was searching for app, was asked to change store, i did, tried downloading canadian app, was informed i had to purchase from u.s. store (is this true, even though it is a free download) then it left me there without instructions on how to return to u.s. store.
Now ipad is stuck in canadian store. How do i return to u.s. store?

You have to find an app that is only available in the US store.
If the problem is on an iPad, etc:
Go to a search engine (like google) on the iPad/iPhone Safari and type in abc app download. Then find find a link that says iTunes.apple.com/us/app/abc-player. Tap it, and it will access the App Store. Eventually, a box should pop up that asks you if you want to switch to the US store. Confirm that, and it should bring you back to the US store. You don't need to download the abc app.
If on a computer:
I haven't confirmed it yet, but I believe there is a flag icon at the bottom of the iTunes Store main page similar to the one at the bottom of this page that you can use to change your country.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

How can I gift an App to someone in a different country? How can I recall the gift I alreadt sent?

I gifted an App from the App store to my cousin. He is India and I am in Kuwait. He now got a message saying that the app can only be used in Kuwait. How can I gift an App to someone in a different country? How can I recall the gift I alreadt sent?
Cheers,

Are you asking about iOS apps? This is the Mac App Store forum, about issues with apps for Macs, not iOS devices. Mac apps cannot be gifted at this moment. I am asking the Hosts to move your question to the iTunes area.

How to Purchase iTunes Music in a Different Country

Hi there,
I'm reading that you have to be in a country and you can only download music on that "home" country's site. My problem is that there is music available on iTunes in a different country that I would love to purchase but cannot because I'm not resident there. So... is there a solution to this? Problem is that what I'm looking for is extremely hard to find where I currently live, in fact it's impossible. Is the purchase dependent upon your credit card billing address? Just wondering if there's any kind of solution to the dilemma or whether this is all legal stuff causing the issue. I mean, I can go on-line and purchase an item in, say, Europe, charge it to my North American credit card with the appropriate currency conversion applied. So, why can this not be done in iTunes?
If there's a solution please let me know. Thanks!
L.

Sorry, but at this time there is no solution. It's due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders.
Is the purchase dependent upon your credit card billing address?
The billing address is primarily to verify your residence in your country.
? Just wondering if there's any kind of solution to the dilemma or whether this is all legal stuff causing the issue.
It is indeed "legal stuff" and there is, I'm sorry to say, no solution. From This Business of Music (10th Edition) (by M. William Krasilovsky and Sydney Shemel) (and thanks to the Mimico Kid for the reference) :
The difficulty of establishing workable business models for digital files (...) extends to where they are sold and where they are played. This is the issue of territoriality, and it is an illustration of how the Internet makes it necessary to reexamine basic assumptions that have been taken for granted (...).
(....) In the music business the primary problem is that copyrights are national and therefore specific rights are tied to national laws and the interpretations of national courts.
(.... T)hough we can one day hope to see the development of common standards with respect to copyright, the fact that the music business is building upon a history of nation-specific contractual relationships means that the goal of universal international standards is not, for the forseeable future, a practical one.
(...) Adding to the difficulty (...) the copyrights themselves may have been assigned to different companies in different territories. The best hope for a cleaner start and a simpler future is worldwide recognition that digital uses are in fact - and should be in law - totally new.
The content owners don't like cross-border sales of CDs either, but there's nothing they can do to stop such sales. They can, though, and do stop cross-border download sales, since if the download stores refuse, the rights holders won't license the tracks to that store.
So unless and until the record companies, et. al, all get together and agree to allow download stores to sell cross-border, there's absolutely nothing Apple or any other download store can do. They have to license for each country individually, and the holders of the rights for a given country may not with to grant such a license, and in some cases there is no one who holds the distribution rights for a given item in your country.

How can i move ipod onto a different icloud account pls

i want to move ipod onto a different icloud account without losing any info on my iphone which is on the same icloud account

You can only keep data of your calendar, contacts etc. on your device, if you decide to delete your iCloud account from your device. Just go to "Settings > iCloud" scroll down and press on "Delete Account", then choose the option to keep the data on your device. After that sign in with your other account and choose "Merge data".

Is there a way to download music I purchased in a different country?

I was recently living in the United States, I purchases most of my music while I was there. I have now moved to a different country and bought a new Mac and iPhone, I thought I would be able to download all of my music again with no problem but it's not showing up in my purchased history. Is there a way to re-download it?

As well as being tied to the account, all content is also tied to the country that it was downloaded in.
You have to be in a country to use its store - unless you move back to the US and have a US billing address on your account then you won't be able to potentially redownload them.
Have you not been keeping and maintaining a backup a copy of all your downloads/library ? Even if you hadn't moved countries you are not guaranteed to be able to redownload any item (you are only guaranteed one download of each item), any item could be removed from the store by the rights-holders at any time.

My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? Can I sync my ipod to a new computer if I allow all the songs to be erased?

My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? The ipod works fine and now i got a new computer. So it seems like my only options are leaving my ipod in a state where i cant add anymore songs or erasing all my songs and trying to use my ipod from my new computer. Can someone please inform me on how to have my ipod work from a different computer, even if i have to erase my songs. Thanks.

Yes, if you choose the Erase and Sync option (or restore your iPod) you will be allowed to sync your iPod with the new computer.
If you would like to save the content that's currently on your iPod, see this older thread from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to copy the content on an iPod back to your PC.

Can i sync my ipod on two different laptops?

My old lap died and I want to sync ipod to a different laptop that I use this a different ipod, ipad and iphone. I don't want to delete the contents of this ipod to do this. Any advice appreciated.

If you have a backup of your dead laptop's data, copy the contents of its iTunes Library into the iTunes Library of your "different" laptop.
Otherwise, you can take a look at tools like Senuti to transfer your media from your ipod to the "different" laptop. There are many other useful tools like Senuti; some work just as well and are even free.
