Should i buy new ipod?

i have
a very cracked ipod... i saw the new one and its boss. Its battery is in bad shape and loses charge quickly. I cant see the time on ethe top becasue of the crack. a lot of the inside parts are showing. It lags on games like blood and glory and subway surfers. Im wondering if a 5g is worth 300$ which is most of my money... Im only like 13 soooo...

It is up to you if you can afford it.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:

A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

  • Should I buy an ipod 5g?

    Should I buy an ipod 5g if i already have an 8GB Iphone 4, ipad mini, and an ipad air? Or should I wait for the ipod 6g? However i am very interested in the ipod portability, since it is very light and thin but still durable. Or maybe i shouldnt bother having ti devices with me all the time.

    IMO, I would skip the iPod and upgrade your iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5s. With carrier subsidized pricing, it is the same price as an iPod Touch 5g.

  • Should i buy he ipod universal dock

    should i buy he ipod universal dock, can anyone help me to decide. thanks

    Sorry Liam - yes, universal dock is fine, as you get the converter insert with the ipod.
    Interestingly, the guy in the shop I went to first (and various people at the mac expo I just went to) said that the 5g dock wasn't available yet. This, naturally, is rubbish - the universal dock fits it just fine.
    Sorry - was on my soapbox about the rubbish remote again...

  • Should I buy the iPod touch 5g if I already have an iPod touch 2g and an ipad 2

    Should I buy and iPod touch 5g when I already have an iPod touch 2g and an ipad 2

    Well it is up to you. But there is some changes between the ipod 4 and ipod 5. I own both ipods and I would recommend getting the ipod5. These are some of the differences.
    The ipod 5 has flash. It is very helpful especially if you like taking pictures at night.
    The ipod 5 has siri. I personally like Siri, but if you don't you could always go to Siri settings and turn it off. Siri can be  convinient in some cases. If you want to know the time in China or if you want to know the temperature in Hawaii.
    Also it works much faster!
    A ipod 5 comes in color
    It is similar to a iphone and the best part f it is that it is cheaper than a iphone!

  • Should I buy an iPod touch?

    I'm thinking about buying an iPod touch but I'm not sure if this is a good time to do this. Should I wait more for any new announcements or something like that?

    It depends on what you want to use the ipod for. I bought a touch to help me manage lists of things to do, my calendar when I am away from my desk and my mobile me account where I use the public folder. I've found the ipod to be very useful for all of these things . . . making my job easier. I've shopped the applications store and found inexpensive applications that I use everyday -- Todo being my favorite find.
    I can't seem to figure out the problem with sending / receiving emails. But, overall I am pleased with my purchase.

  • HT1414 Any way to update iOS 4.3 on ipod gen 2 so I can actually buy and use apps? Or did my parents just waste 150$ on somthing alot of middle class can't really afford (To buy new iPods... As this is expensive)

    My parents, like many middle class people, only make so much money. My old Ipod Nano broke, and my friend was thinking on giving me her Gen 4. My parents had 0 faith in my friend and went out and baught a used GEN2-- and two years of insurance. I cried from joy. As I don't have a phone, this is a great oppertunity to get a texting app and some other cool apps. Or so I thought. I stayed up for a long time last night trying to figure it all out. Sure, I had internet access, but not much else. It said it needed an update for it to be used with the apps, and from what i gathered, it was possible. I keep trying to figure out where to get the update... From what I've heard.. you have to update with them. no buts. My family doesn't have that kind of money, I'm lucky to get my paws on this. I'm worried they just wasted 150 dollars on nothing. Honestly, they make millions and millions of dollars. I don't think it could cost that much to update all the generations, more people would be on board then; not find out that they need to spend 300-400 dollars every time a new one comes out. but no, they need to make more new ipods/phones that arent even that much different.. maybe a bit bigger and with new updates, but honestly... I think that'd take more money than give. I really was exited, but I'm not so sure I should be anymore. What do I do?

    That version cannot be upgraded further if it's a 2G model. The 3G model can be upgraded to iOS 5.x.x. You can't have a 2G model because the maximum iOS version is 4.2.1.

  • Should i buy a ipod 3g

    Hy guys
    I always didnt like apple (i like't galaxy's etc more)
    But i really wanna heve an ipod now since i ♥ apple products  now
    But the thing is i dont wanna waste a lot of money
    Thats why i wanna buy an ipod 3generation.
    But i heard u cant download apps on it
    and i dont get the ioshd if i'm gonna buy it i wanna keep it atleast 2 years good(still downlaoding apps etc)
    so should i buy it?

    A real 3G iPod can only go to iOS 5.1.1. That currently works for most apps but some require iOS 6
    Many time one thinks then have a 3G iPod when they really have a 2G iPod. A 2G can only go to 4.1.2. Many app now require 4.3 or greater.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
    I myself would not get a  3G

  • If I buy new IPOD can I transfer music from my existing itunes library?

    I fear there is something wrong with my current ipod. It will not allow me to update from my existing library.
    Question:
    If I just go out and buy a brand new ipod, will I be able to plug in to my computer, and then transfer all the music that is currently in my itunes library?
    Thank you for your reply.

    so long as your ipod updater software and itunes meet the minimum system requirements for the ipod, it would be fine. (attractive beast downloads precisely the same music as mauve, from the same library. back in the day, all i had to do was upgrade my ipod software first.)

  • Should i buy the ipod 5g if I have an ipod 2g?

    i dont know what do, my ipod 2g it works very well but... i don't.. to many updates coming with the new ipod touch 5g...

    thanks you both, I think I'm going to buy the 5g, it's way much better than my old ipod 2g

  • How long should my brand new iPod Touch 4g be taking to update to 5.1.1.?

    I got a new iPod Touch 4g today and it came with 4.3.3, and with 5.1.1 out, I figured I should update it to that. So, I told it to update. And I know it said it'd take a while, but it's been about 5 hours now and the progress bar under the apple on the iPod isn't even a fourth full yet. And it hasn't moved in at least 4 hours.
    I'm just wondering if this is supposed to take this long or if there's possibly something wrong and how I can go about fixing it if there is.
    Thank you!

    It is taking too long. Stop the restore. Force close iTunes if necessary. Disconnect the iPod and reboot the computer.
    Then connect the iPod to the computer and restore from backup. You may have to place the iPod in Recovery mode to allow the restore.

  • Should i buy the ipod 4g or the ipod 5 16gb

    i really like everything from the ipod 5 16 gb with it does not have a camera and that's kinda sad
    But if i buy the ipod 4g will it still update to the new ios version ?

    I'll just keep writing in English as this is an American forum and I want others who have the same question to be able to understand what's written here.
    Sorry, I didn't notice that the 16GB low-cost version of the iPod touch is actually quite different from the others.
    For the regular iPod touch, there are a 32GB and a 64GB option, respectively at €319 and €419 if you buy it from the Apple site.
    There is a 16GB version as well, but this one is quite different. As you mentioned, this one does not have the camera with flash on the back. It does have the 720p front-facing camera. It looks similar to the 32 and 64-GB versions, but has some little differences in the design, like black buttons instead of polished aluminium.
    It really depends on your opinion, if you want a larger screen (better if you watch many films and videos) and the faster A5-chip (for graphic intensive games) and the iOS 7 update that come with the 5th generation iPods, or if you want a camera on the back and an option for 8GB of storage (and a mirror on the back).
    I personally think you'd be better off if you buy a 4th generation iPod, because you get a camera (not very high quality but it's fun to take pictures when you have it with you. The video quality on it is quite good) and because other than the storage there is no difference between 64GB models and 8GB models, so you won't have a cheaper, lower quality product.
    I myself have an iPod touch 4g 8GB and I'm very satisfied with it. I won't upgrade to another until this one breaks.
    If you have any more questions, please ask them and I'll try to answer them as best as I can.

  • Should I buy the iPod touch 5g

    Help should i get the iPod touch 5g

    I have a iPod touch 4th gen and a 5th gen:
    If you use your ipod alot or you play lots of games on it i would recommend paying the extra money for the 5th generation BECAUSE:
    • the screen is SUPERB! (The same used on the iphone 5)
    • the camera is WAY better,also has a led flash which is really bright,(you can use it as a torch as well)
    • its a lot faster loading and playing games.
    If you only use your ipod for music and social networking dont bother,because you really wont notice the difference.
    I HOPE I HELPED! 

  • Want to buy new iPod-should I wait???

    I'm trying to decide between buying a new 5g iPod, either the 30 GB or 60 GB version. I am reading about the problems people are experiencing with the new firmware update and song skipping and the like and am wondering if I should wait a bit until Apple fixes some of these problems.
    Could people share their overall experience with the iPod and whether it is wiser to get the 30 GB or 60 GB version? I was leaning toward the 60 GB iPod. What about experiences with video playback?
    Any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated!!

    Hi Sandy
    I didn't have any issues with the update at all. I was very wary as I do use the video feature a lot but I had no problems with it.
    I never used the TV show category so I can't comment on that really. There aren't any TV shows on the UK iTMS so I have yet to see if that would cause a problem. In all honesty I probably wouldn't buy them from there anyway. I much prefer to rip my own and so far there are no problems...

  • Can't update to ios7 on ipod touch 4th generation on this ipod. had facetime but now it requires ios7 so i have it no more and used it a lot with family. would have to buy new ipod. apple should not take away the capabilities you have already paid for

    found out i can't update ipod touch 4th generation to ios7 which is now required to use facetime. have used facetime for several years with family now can't use. Apple should not take away the capabilities you already have paid for!!

    No correct, you do not need iOS for FaceTime. You only needed to update to iOS 6.1.6.
