Trading in broken iPod Touch for new one

I left my my 4th generation iPod touch on outside on a cold day and water condensation got inside. My iPod is fully functional except there's a white streak that runs from top to bottom on the left side of the screen. I went to the Apple Store and one of the employees informed me that I can do some sort of trade off for a new ipod? I don't quite recall what he said but I believe I would get some sort of discount. If anyone knows the answer or other options I might have, I would highly appreciate. Thanks!

Apple will only give you a 10% recycling discount if you turn in an old iPod when you purchase a new one. Better off selling it yourself.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB one and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.

Exchanging old ipod touch for new one

Hi
I'm kind of new on this forum, just made this account so be easy one me thx
kk, so the problem is th i bought an itouch on July 24th and i was wondering if I could exchange it and pay a little extra to get the itouch with a camera on it. Do you think it's possible?
I erased all the apps and songs i downloaded and it looks brand new

Apple won't exchange it, if that's what you mean. If you bought it from an Apple Store, they give you fourteen days to return a product, and after that, it's yours, and you're long beyond that time. If you bought from a dealer, you can ask the dealer, but I don't know any that would accept a return this long after purchase.
Sorry, but you'll probably have to sell your iPod if you want money to put toward the new model.
Regards.

Replaceing previous iPod touch with new one...how to Sync?

Hi, Received a new iPod Touch for Christmas to replace my 2nd Gen version that had run out of memory capacity. My question is...how do I get all of my iTunes library that's on my PC onto the new iPod touch? I want to keep my current iTunes account, just move everything onto the new device? Is it as simple as just plugging it in and naming it the same as the old device? I'm assuming the new serial number will supercede the previous..will that render my previous device useless? I'd still like to keep it for use in the car.

Thanks, do I have to have a archived back-up (i.e. DVD's) of my itunes to do the recovery, or is there an archive on the hard-drive that's hidden?
every time you synced your old iPod, iTunes should have made a backup. all you have to do is plug in the new gadget and follow on-screen instructions.

ITunes not recognizing original IPod touch after new one installed

I tried to set up new IPod touch but itunes wouldn't recognize it. Downloaded latest version of itunes. Was able to set up new IPod touch but now old touch not being recognized by itunes. Went through the troubleshooting guide with no positive results. Old (unreconized) touch is fully charged. Restarted computer. Restarted itunes. Changes usb ports. Nothing working. Any ideas?

Hi Jim,
Thank you for your reply to my posting about iTunes not recognizing my iPod Touch after upgrading to Leopard.
iPods & Finder. Some other postings incorrectly lead me to believe that the iPod would show up in the "Finder". Thanks for setting me straight on this.
iTunes Not Recognizing iPod Touch. Prior to your posting, I had already read the article you referenced (to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service per article "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747").
Prior to your posting, I had also read other articles in various "Apple Discussions" (forums) that suggested this recognition problem could be resolved by uninstalling/re-installing iTunes 8.0.2. Some implied that you could just re-install iTunes 8.0.2 right over the currently installed one without bothering to uninstall it.
Based on those postings, I "gambled" last night and simply downloaded and re-installed iTunes 8.0.2 (without uninstalling it first). I noticed during the installation that the Apple Mobile Device agent you referenced was also re-installed. Well, my gamble paid off! After the installation (and a reboot?), iTunes onces again RECOGNIZED my iPod Touch.

Transfer playlists from old ipod touch to new one?

My daughter downloaded music directly to her ipod touch and made a bunch of different playlists directly on the touch. She just bought a new touch and would like to transfer the music and playlists from the one touch to the new one. Is there any way to do this?

After reading several help menus and some discussions here, I was able to solve the problem for the most part. For those who may have the same question:
Backing up your ipod will not back up music and videos and playlists associated with them in the backup. It will, however, add all that music to your itunes library, but you are stuck re-creating all of your playlists. After searching, I found that senuti (itunes backwards) will do the job. You can download a free trial, or, if you have more than 1000 things to transfer, you can purchase it for $18.99. You can then move music, videos and any playlists that you created on your ipod onto your computer's itunes and then just transfer those onto the new itunes. It worked really slick for me.
My only remaining issue was that the backup does not save folders that you may have sorted your apps into. My daughter had over 200 apps that were all nicely sorted - now she has to recreate all of those folders. Does anyone have any quick tips for this - or know how to get itunes to save that folder configuration for apps?

Trade in 1st Generation of Ipod Touch for new generation of Ipod Touch?

Is there a policy on trading in my Ipod I have now and having it upgraded to the new Ipod touch? I got it for Christmas 2007 and do they do a trade in when a new model comes out? Especially if the newer bigger model is cheaper than what I paid for mine.
Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Not to be rude but there are many other topics on this subject.
Sadly, Apple does not have any kind of upgrade system.

Returning Broken iPod Classic for new Product

I have a defective 30GB iPod classic. I bought a new one, but still have the old one. Will Apple take the old one as part of a trade in for a new product?

As part of a recycling program they will give you 10% off towards the purchase a an iPod at an Apple Store.
Or you can sell it for parts.

I have the 2nd gen touch and want the 4th gen.

Sell yours, buy a new one. Apple will only buy your old one at a nominal price for their recycling program. They will provide you with a gift card.

Can a broken ipod touch be traded in for a discount on an ipad or just a new ipod?

I have a broken IPOD Touch, I had taken it to the apple store to see if it could be fixed and it cannot, they offered me a discount on a new one. At the time I did not have the money. I am now in the market for an IPAD and was wondering if they would give me a discount on an ipad or just an ipod?
Thanks...

I don't think the two are interchangeable like that. You're lucky to get a discount on the iPod. However, that's up to the store/Apple.
Get whatever fits your needs.

My charger broke so I gave my sister the charger, and my iPod touch for proof. She took it to the apple store and traded it for an iPhone 5c. I was wondering if apple can do something for me so I could get my ipod back?

I have no idea what you meant by giving your sister your "iPod touch for proof". Proof of what?
The only way she could have traded it was recycling it for 10% off the cost of a new device but the Apple Store doesn't do this as far as I know for iPhones. You could take the receipt for your iPhone to the Apple Store and show it to the manager but you really need to solve this within your family.
