Should i send my ipod for service?

I have some issues with my ipod atm.
-Ipod goes into (please use itunes to restore ipod...) after being switched on. It happens after being switched off after awhile.
-Freeze during playback. (At the now playing screen)
-Ipod freezes and needs reset when scrolling/browsing the ipod too fast.
I have tried the latest itunes to restore the ipod countless times but the problems above still persist.

Try uninstalling, then reinstalling the latest version of iTunes. after that, go to Apple Software Updater in your Programs list, and do all the updates you can, then restart your computer. Plug in your iPod, then try restoring it in "Disk Mode", to put it in Disk Mode, turn hold on and off, then hold the Menu+Select buttons simultaneously. When the Apple logo pops up (before the backlight turns on, now be quick!), hold Play+Pause simultaneously until your iPod looks like an old school iPod. Then plug it in and restore it using iTunes. Reply me the results when you are done.
Hope this helps!!

  • Should I send in iPod classic?

    Hi any/everybody,
    This concerns my iPod classic that I talked about in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1635031&tstart=0
    The solution helped my iPod, but it's still too slow. Should I really send it in for repair service? (Repair Service:https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do)
    **I already submitted for the repair service, but I can just keep the package Apple will send to me in a couple days to cancel everything.**
    **Its still covered by the limited warranty but I don't have the AppleCare Protection Plan.The limited warranty I have expires June 24,2009**
    I don't want to send it in and have to pay $100+ to learn there was no problem or its a problem I could've fixed myself.
    I usually don't use so many links, but you gotta do what you gotta do!
    You guys know the drill, any replies are welcomed and appreciated.
    THANKS!

    UPDATE
    I recieved Apple's box today. Fast service! Like I said before, I don't want to send it in and have to pay to learn it wasn't really broken. I'll describe my problem again just to be clear:
    The artwork of music and videos in the menus don't appear at first like they should. I see a gray square/white music note, then I feel a click in the actual iPod (not the click wheel) and the artwork appears soon after. Photos also take a while to load while I'm browsing them. I see only gray squares, then I feel the click from before, then the pictures appear.
    I have reset/restored my iPod many times and have even tried defrag, nothing works.
    Thanks!

  • Sending MacBoom Pro for Servicing.. any advice on back up?

    hi all,
    i'm about to send my machine in for servicing due to water damage. what is the best way for me to back up my system so i don't lose all my emails, appz and stuff?
    i've already backed up my docs and movies but what i really want is for my machine to be exactly as it is when i get it back should they decide to replace it under insurance. any suggestions? i've only got 40gb left of my external HDD. i have an ipod so i've backed up my music there. please help!

    Your owner's manual will have instructions for removing the hard drive if you have the MBP with the user replaceable hard drive.
    Here's something to consider. Do you have another Mac available to use? If so, consider doing this.
    Remove the hard drive from your MBP and place it in a firewire enclosure. Also purchase a new firewire backup hard drive, since it sounds like you need a new and bigger one anyway. (Firewire because it's a lot faster than USB.)
    Partition and format your new external drive, with one partition equal in size to your MBP's internal drive and any others that you may want. Then download Super Duper onto the other Mac:
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    You will now have your MBP drive in an enclosure, a new external drive, and another Mac with Super Duper on it.
    Mount both your MBP drive and the new external drive on the other Mac. Then you can use Super Duper to make an exact clone of your MBP's drive on the partition that is the same size as the MBP's drive on the external drive..
    Once you have your bootable clone, you can reinstall the hard drive back into your MBP and send it off. You will have an exact copy of your MBP's drive on your new external. When you get the MBP back, you can clone from the external back onto the MBP. Everything will be exactly as you left it. Even if your original drive is erased or replaced, all your stuff will be saved on the new external drive. just as it was.
    I know this sounds pretty involved, but I think it would be worth considering. A bootable clone is a really useful backup tool, and can be used in conjunction with other backup strategies.
    Good luck!

  • Sending a material for service outside the plant(Material having Material .

    Hi Every One
    i want send the material (Having material no.) out of the Plant for Service by creating Purchase order.(this is not a subcontracting Process)
    Can any one tell me the process or any alternative Process
    regards
    manju

    hi,
    Make new material with material type DIEN....this shd solve your problem....
    Since services cannot be stored, a material master record of this material type does not contain inventory data or inventory management data. No fields for gross weight, net weight or unit of weight are included in the basic data for a service, as are for other material types.
    Hope it helps...

  • HT4528 It takes hours for my phone to charge, however, when i charge it, it dies out immediately. Should I bring it in for service?

    My phone takes hours to charge and when it does charge as soon as I take it out of the charger the phone dies out? What does that mean? Should I bring it in for a service?

    Most likely faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

  • My iPod touch is not showing up in iTunes and doesn't have the charging battery screen. Should I send it in for inspection?

    I need it so I can manage my storage. Can anybody help please? Or at lease give me advise?

    Try unplugging the USB from both ends (PC & iPod) and restarting iTunes. If that fails, restart the PC. Happens to me ALL THE TIME.

  • Sending it in for service question

    so i have to send my iphone 3G into apple because the headphone jack doesnt work. now the problem i have is i cant find out how to take everything on my phone and put it onto my computer (PC) so when i get my new one i can just transfer over my music songs pictures contacts apps ect. im sure its simple but id rather ask here than try it myself and mess it all up.
    Thanks,

    As already provided, iTunes creates and maintains a backup for your iPhone which includes data such as most iPhone setting, email account settings, SMS messages, notes, recent calls, call favorites, contact info, 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app, and photos available in your iPhone's Camera Roll.
    In regards to contact info, the iPhone is designed to be synced with the supported application on your computer. With Vista, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with the address book used by Windows Mail - the name change for Outlook Express with Vista. This address book is called Windows Contacts.
    All iTunes content and photos transferred from your computer should remain on your computer and must be re-transferred to a replacement iPhone. If you don't have Outlook 2003 or 2007 available, you will lost calendar events available on your iPhone.
    I suggest doing the following before sending your iPhone in for repair or exchange under warranty.
    Import any photos available in your iPhone's Camera Roll by your computer. If you aren't syncing contact info and calendar events with a supported application on your computer, do so. When syncing, your iPhone's backup will be updated as the very first step during the sync process.
    After you have done these steps - importing photos available in your iPhone's Camera Roll and syncing at least contact info with the supported application on your computer - you have Windows Contact available for this purpose, along with the sync process updating your iPhone's backup with iTunes, immediately before placing your iPhone in the box, go to Settings > General > Reset, and select Erase All Content and Settings. This is a secure erase option erasing all content and settings from your iPhone since your iPhone returned will likely not be returned to you and will end up becoming a refurbished iPhone.

  • Sending in iPAD for servicing

    Is there a way to mail in my iPAD WIFI for warranty replacement if it becomes faulty ?

    Right now my iPAD 16GB WIFI set is from USA, under the https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do url. i type in my serial no and selected a different country : Australia.
    It stated there is "service options available for this product in the location you've selected."
    Does this mean i can get my iPAD serviced in Australia from Apple Service centre?

  • Which value should I send for the field "business partner type " in DTW

    I need your help. I am trying to create a new business partner using DTW. Please let me know wich possible values should I send to DTW for the field "Business Partner Type" (this label appears on sap-bo when enteringa new BP).
    The database field name is OCRD.cmpprivate, so I tried to find the related field in the input file and I found "CompanyPrivate" is this the corresponding field for the "business partner type"?
    I have been trying with the following values but the DTW fails with the error "invalid item name in enum BoCardCompanyTypes":
    tYES
    tNO
    cCompany
    cPerson
    I
    C
    cI
    cC
    Thank you for your help
    Jorge Manzo

    Please note: I use DTW Version 88.1.7; API Version 8.81.319
    To set  CmpPrivate (it is exactly BoCardCompanyTypes) use following:
    cCompany - Card represent a company.
    cPrivate - Card represent a private person.
    To set CardType see Godon's replay.
    A lot of info you can find in "SAP Business One SDK - Help Center" docs.

  • Send in for Service

    My ipad will not accept my charger.  I constantly get the message "Charging not...with this accessory."  I've replaced the cord and adapter a few times.  In any event, I followed the online steps to send it in for service but each time I get to the page where it reads "Select the part you want to replace" I am unable to move forward as none of the hyperlinks on the page work.  Does anyone know how to get past this or how to send my ipad in for service without using the web site?

  • Send in for service procedure

    i have sucessfully received a service tag number and have been requested to send device in for service
    what is the procedure do i take it to apple
    or do they send me out a box
    thanks

    I think this depends if it's personal or business/education. If it's a personal device I believe you would just take it to the Apple store for repair. If this is business/education device they send you a box to ship the device in.

  • Sad Face on IPod for no apparent reason.

    I didn't drop my Ipod, I didn't do anything close to it, for it to give me the sad face. My Ipod was working fine, when it froze for no reason, so I tried resetting it, and I got the sad face all of the sudden. I tried resetting it again and the apple logo appeared and then the sad face, I did it repeated times ad nothing. Then I connected it to my computer and it didn't recognized my Ipod either so I couldn’t restore it, and then I got this battery like icon with a light bolt on it like it needed to be charged, so I got it on the AC power adapter and it didn't want to charge, it kept restarting itself back to the sad face. (First the apple logo appeared and then the sad face. I got this Ipod on August 05, I really don't want to send it to service, please help me, I’m really sad, I take good care of my things, and it makes me sad that I only have it for this short period of time and it won't work. My dad it's going to get really mad.
    I have the Ipod photo of 60G.
    I tried also to get it on disk mode, and nothing, it just kept going to the apple logo then the sad face.

    I have to mention that I am not a techician, I may not understand the reason behind, I could be wrong and my suggestion may not work in your case. But, I must say that all the suggestions I made are basically from my past experienece fixing more than 10 iPods (from my friends and family members). I do not and have no intention to make a suggestion purely from what I heard and read (otherwise I would indicate). These have been tested and proved to work in my cases. I also have to deal with iPod problems such as:-
    1. Sad iPod
    2. Folder with exclamation mark
    3. iPod failed to be recognized by the computer
    4. broken iPod with 'clicking' sound
    I can simply post a link from the apple article - which would suggest you to do a Reset and Restore actions, however, most of the users would agree with me that the iPod with the aforementioned problems would not able to get mounted with the computer. In that case, how could you do a Restore. Should I just suggest the user to send their iPods for repair?
    I have tried myself with different ways, and I discovered a trick to solve the above problems. First, we must understand what is the problem behind - in my opinion, the problem mainly caused by the head of HD of the iPod getting stuck at a certain point and unable to read the sector properly. If an iPod is an external Hard Disk, how are you going to fix it, I believe that all of us would suggest one to do a Reformat. Right, but unfortunately, the iPod could not be mounted, so what next? I find an interesting way - when the iPod is formatted in PC and connected with a Mac computer, it will "Force" mount, then why not do a Restore there. And once it has been completed, re-connect it with your original PC, and this time with the iPod being formatted to a different format, a window will pop up, indicating that it cant read the iPod and ask whether you would like to do a reformat. Then open the iPod updater and click Restore (back to PC version). Again, interestingly, it works the other way as well i.e. Mac's iPod fixed with a Window based PC.

  • I took my computer in for service just before the warranty expired now I have one question and can't get any help. The sound buttons on my keyboard no longer work

    I installed the new Mavericks update on my MacBook Pro when it was released and offered free of charge. After that my computer started crashing on a regular basis, upon the realization that my warranty was due to expire at the end of the year I took my computer in to the Apple Store in Green Hills Mall about 5 days before Christmas. To anyone not familiar with Green Hills in Nashville TN the traffic is horrendous at all times let alone 5 days before Christmas. They had to send it off for service and it was shipped back to me on Christmas Eve. Through the holidays I haven't used it much. I usually just use it at work between customers and most of the time just leave it here. Friday evening I played videos with no problems, when I came back in on Monday and played a video the sound had decreased dramatically and the volume control keys on my keyboard would not work. I don't know if they were working before because I don't remember if I used them or not since Monday was the first time the volume was so low. Now my warranty is expired and I am very poor ( The I have a job, a roof over my head and food to eat but a negative balance in checking account and bills still to pay kind of poor) so I am hoping that someone out there knows what's causing this and how to fix it.

    Mavericks has had a lot of compatability issues and are slowly being fixed.  This is why I haven't upgraded yet.
    Either downgrade back to Mountain Lion or just wait for a software fix.
