The other day I dropped my iPod touch and the screen cracked and my warranty is up how do i get it fixed. Do I order an screen and have Apple repair it of do I have to

The other day I dropped my ipod touch and the screen cracked and my warranty is up how do I get it fixed. Do I buy a screen and bring it to Apple to repair od do I have to repair it. Please help me

Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair". Some places also will sell parts and instructions for doing the repair yourself, but the connectors and parts are delicate and it's easy to cause further damage, so attempt this only if you are confident in your skills.
Regards.

  • I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1. How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?

    I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1.
    How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?
    In the appstore there are only the lat app versions, most of them are incompatible with my device.
    I know that previous versions of these apps were compatible with my ipod.
    Can all download them someway?
    thanks

    The problem is: I never had the compatible versions. But I want them, I'd buy them if I could.
    So I'm stuck with my Ipod, which can't be upgraded anymore to higher IOS versions, and with the appstore, that does not offer older versions; versions that have existed and still exist, perhaps in the recycle bin of some users, or somewhere in the appstore servers.
    I know, its a policy, just to sell more devices. Will not work with me. I'm not buying more Ipods

  • I dropped my ipod touch in the street and there is a large crack in the screen can i take it to the apple store and pay to have it fixed there or do i have to send it out?

    They can fix it at the Apple Store. I wish you could get it fixed for free, but the warranty doesn't cover accidents like this . It sounds like you understand this, I just want to make sure you know.

  • I literally JUST dropped my iPod touch 4g 8gb it cracked the screen

    I can still see but there is a big crack going from bottoms to top with smaller cracks. Is there any way I can get a new free one? It fell out of my sweatshirt pocket

    Buttbubblebuster,
    I think that it depends on how long you have had your iPod. I dropped my iPod touch (also 4th generation and 8GB) and there were major screen cracks. I got it last September and the drop was last month. I got a refurbished model for $99.
    Hope this helps,
    O.C.
    P.S. Make sure to buy a good case. I recommend the Griffin Survivor Case for iPod touch.

  • TS2771 I dropped my iPod touch in the ground and the screen turned blue and now it won't turn on what do I do

    I was walking and I dropped my iPod and I picked it up and it was blue so I tried turning it back on and it wouldn't what do I do any help

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I'm getting a new iPod touch 4G to replace my old 1st gen. pod.  How do I get iTunes to get rid of my old iPod and recognize the new iPod and can I sych the new pod and get all of the content on it from my old pod?

    Hi-
    Oops. looks like I hasked the whole question in the headline, but... How does this work?  When I connect my new pod to iTunes how do I get iTunes to recognize the new pod, disregard the old pod and transfer my content to my new pod?  Also, I have a G5 that runs 10.4.11 OS.  Will the new pod synch to this computer running this old software yet.  Apparently, I have to "climb the mountain" to find a copy of Leopard for G5 and I apparently cannot run Snow Leopard.  What are the needs or restrictions for synching a 4th Gen iPod touch?
    Thanks-
    DMitz

    The 4G iPod needs at least OSX 10.5.8 on a Mac. You are right that the G5 can't use OSX 10.6 or later. Apple will sell you a 10.5.8 disk but you have to call them since it is not listed in their on-line store.  Price is $129.
    For 4G specs:
    System requirements
    USB 2.0
    iTunes 10.1 or later6
    Mac: Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later
    Broadband Internet access required; fees may apply.

  • Hi, I have just got an ipod touch, I had an ipod classic for years, I have tried to put my itunes onto my ipod touch but only my purchased music is going onto it, how do I get my library onto it without using sharing?

    Hi I have just got an ipod touch, I have had a classic for years with no trouble.  I have tried to download my itunes library to my touch but only my purchased music transfers.  How do I transfer all my music without the home sharing as this at the moment seems to be the only way to see all of my library?

    You can set up more than one device on your computer, and iTunes will remember the settings for each of them:
    How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
    But you'll have to use your Apple ID to sync bought media to her device. Disable all other things you don't want to sync like photos, contacts, etc.

  • If I reset or restore my iPod touch will all my apps be deleted? If so how do i get the bought one back ???

    If i reset or restore my iPod touch will all my apps be deleted? If so what about the bought ones ?

    - A reset does not delete any media (apps, music etc) from the iPod.
    - A restore will delete apps, music and other media from the iPod.  If the media is in the iTunes library then a restore from backp will restore the media and after a restore to factory defaults/new iPod you can sync the media back to the iPod.
    - If not in the iTunes libray, you can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I just got a iphone 4 and it wont sync to my itunes. My itunes will sync with my ipod touch just fine but doesnt even reconize my iphone. How do i get my iphone to sync?

    Hey RavenDawn1002,
    If you have a Windows computer, you'll want to run through the steps in this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    If you have a Mac, then use this article instead:

    Have a good one,

  • Why doesn't the additional 500mb data I bought the other day not show up under usage on the app?

    I needed more data temporarily. The rep on the phone said she added it and deducted $5 from my balance. But when I check my usage on the app, it still says 2 GB. I called the phone number but can't figure out how to get through to a human.

  • Since upgrade to 3.6.7 the emoticons window on a forum I use always opens full screen, not as a small window. How can I get it to open as a small screen again.

    Since upgrading to 3.6.7, when I go to a forum I'm active on and click the emoticons icon in the reply box, the emoticons window opens full screen, and not as a small screen like it did before. I can click on the box to make it small again, but next time I open it, it's back to full screen. Ok, not a major problem, but really rather annoying. I've tried to find a way to get it back to opening the way it did before, but to no avail. Does anyone know how I can solve this little problem?
    == I upgraded to 3.6.7

    No-one got any ideas on this then? It's definitely a firefox problem, as when I open the forum page (mentioned in the OP) with Opera or Chrome, the emoticons window opens as a small window, same as FF used to before the upgrade.

  • I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. Please help

    I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.

    Disabled
    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.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    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:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
