Trading in iPod nano question

Sorry if this has been answered, but I was just wondering if it's possible to trade in my newly bought iPod nano(third generation) 4gb silver model and get a discount for buying the new iPod touch(8 or 16gb...doesn't matter). But if I could get the 16gb at the same discount price as the 8 I'd get that, otherwise what prices would I be charged for the trade-in?

Since you purchased at Best Buy, you cannot return it to Apple.
Apple does not do "trade-ins".
If you purchased it an an Apple store (or anywhere), you could simply return it within the stores return period.
In the case of Apple, they accept returns within 14 days. If you are simply returning it, you will be charged, usually a 15% restocking fee.
Apple stores will accept old iPods (purchased anywhere) for 10% off a new iPod.
This is to give you a reason to recycle the iPod instead of tossing it in the trash.
...how can I trust your answers?

You can go to the Apple store and ask.

  • Basic ipod-nano questions - help !

    Hi
    i dont know what fifith generation ipod refers to....BUT
    i want to get one of the new 8bg ipod nanos.
    3 basic questions:
    1. I'm really confused about the current relationship between ipods & encripted/ copy protected mp3's. I don't buy from itunes (yet) - i just want to use my current mp3 collection for now.
    Can i just drag & drop these onto the ipod without any hassle ???
    2. How many songs/mp3s does 8gb actually hold in terms of time/numbers ?
    3. I'm on a three year old emac with OS X 3.9 - Is this an issue or can i just expect to connect up & get on with it. ( I'm fire-wire & only USB 1. on this machine.)
    thanks someone....
    d

    A Fifth Generation iPod refers to the 30GB, 60GB or 80GB iPod with video.
    1. If your current MP3s were not purchased from some other online store and are not copy protected they'll work with your iPod
    2. Around 2000 depending on song length and file format. The advertised song capacity of iPod is based on 4 minute songs encoded in AAC (MP4)format at a bit rate of 128 kbps. Longer songs and songs encoded at a higher bitrate or in uncompressed formats take up more space. You'll get a similar number if you MP3 are that bit rate or lower, the figures are pretty approximate.
    3. You won't be able to use Firewire to update, only to charge. USB 1.1 will be signigicantly slower that USB 2 but if you can live with that should work ok.

  • Ipod nano questions

    Okay, I am very new to this ipod era. My 11 year old son is just getting in to it. I bought him an ipod nano for christmas. I thought it would be great if I added some songs and games to it for him. This way it would be ready when he un-wraps it. I downloaded some songs from itunes without any trouble. I tryed to get a few songs off of his CD's and wound up putting the whole album on the ipod. How can I get songs off? and.... how do I do it properly (just to add a perticular song or two)? Another question is can I get (buy) games from itunes for ipod nano? Someone told me that you can't for the nano.
    I would appreciate any help that I can get. Thanks in advance.

    delete the song(s) from itues and re-sync the ipod.. it will take the songs off the ipod.
    you should be able to return it if you just restore the ipod to factory settings, package it back up and return it.
    I think the nano (not positive) has games like snake and such.. but the games you buy from itunes you cant put on the nano.

  • 1st generation ipod nano question

    Hey everyone,
    i have a what i believe is a 1st generation ipod nano ( it's blue )(??) and i had it connected with itunes on another laptop ( windows based ). That laptop died and i recently purchased a new MacBook. So i tried to connect my ipod to the Macbook today but i can't seem to get it to work, i have purcahsed a bunch of songs through itunes that are on the MacBook and i'd like to add them into my ipod.
    Is this possible? or because i used my ipod for an older computer am i not able to put the existing songs on my ipod into my MacBook and vice versa, MacBook songs onto the old ipod???
    Any help you can give would be great...
    Thanks!

    I have an actual 1st generation ipod and am having a similar problem. I had a windows based laptop, which my nano worked on. When I bought my iMac in December '07, I reformatted my ipod to use with my mac. After restoring my ipod, I added some songs and used it for a few days before I got a message telling me that I must restore my ipod. I don't know why the message appeared, but I connected my ipod and restored it again. After that, however, my Mac no longer recognized my ipod in Disk Utility, iTunes, or Finder. I've tried using other Macs, no luck, Windows computers (which actually recognize that something is connected, but it doesn't know what), but nothing seems to work. My ipod turns on fine, I can do everything except add/remove music. It will charge if I plug it in, the entire menu system works. I've done the all the tests in Diagnostic mode and everything seems to be fine, but it still doesn't work. >.<
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • More Mac OS 10.2 and iPod nano questions

    I did a search and found that other people were able to get their iPod nanos to work using 10.2.8, so I decided to give it a try. How did you do this? When I plug it it in, the iPod just flashes "Do Not Connect" and when iTunes tries to open, I get this error message:
    "The iPod "iPod" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 7.0 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the lastest version of iTunes or install iTunes from the CD that came with your iPod."
    What do I do next to make it run with the USB 1.1 ports on OS X 10.2? I have iTunes 6.0.4.
    Please help! Thanks!
    p.s. I'm starting to get really irritated with Apple. Leopard was supposed to be released late 2006/early 2007. I got this iPod back in Nov last year as part of a promotion. Since I thought Leopard's release was right around the corner, I held out and tried to be patient. Then it was changed to spring 2007. And I thought, well, I've waited this long; another month or two won't kill me. Now it's October 2007??? WTH, man. If I knew it was going to be a full YEAR before I could have used my iPod, I would have just bought Tiger back then. Torture, I tell you.

    I didn't say all Nanos wouldn't work on the earlier system. What I was implying was YOUR Nano, which came out AFTER iTunes 7 was releases, has updated firmware that requires iTunes7.
    I had the same issue with my two video iPods. My 30GB was purchased back in the iTunes 6 days and worked fine on my computer. A year+ later my wife upgraded me to an 80GB (so she could also take possession of the 30GB) which came out after iTunes7. So when I plugged that one in, it refused to work with iTunes 6 and required iTunes 7.
    This is something Apple does with a lot of their hardware. For example, most Mac computers are ROM locked to only be able to run the Operating system they shipped with or higher. So you can not take my OS 10.3 eMac and try to load 10.2 onto it. It won't go. Same with the iPods. If the iPod came out when iTunes 6 was the release, they will work fine with iTunes 6 or iTunes 7, but if they came out after the release of iTunes 7, they tend to be locked to iTunes 7 or higher. This is why you often see the simultaneous release of a new version of iTunes when there is a major update or new release of an iPod model.

  • IPod Nano Question

    ok, I'm about to get a Nano but am very worried about the scratches. I've been searching about the scratches on this forum for the last hour and I've been wonddering now.
    If I use the iPod nano Tubes will my iPod Nano get scratched? Do the etubes cover the click wheel? If so how does that work?
    If I don't get the tubes before I get my nano will get so scratched up that it wont work? I'll be getting a white one so I'm hoping the scratches wont be that visible. I don't mind teh occasional scratch but I don't want it to break my iPod

    Im not sure if it was you or someone else i posted this to, interesting article, check it out,
    http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/nano.ars/3
    No...using the click wheel with no protection will not affect its performance...its an ipod like any other and was designed to be used without any protection, thats why they give it to you without a case or protection...
    I dont know about the circuit city warrany as I live in Canada...as for the apple warranty, if you ever have to give it to apple, you can simply ship it to them, so you dont have to be next to a apple store. The warranty is 1 year long.

  • Follow-up iPod nano question?

    Hi All,
    I have a 4G nano due in the mail and I have been preparing to use it with arch.  I had a previous basic question and got great answers. 
    My new question is related to its initial use.  I have read that many first use it with a Windows box so that iTunes converts the hfs file system to vfat.  A few others have indicted that they have enabled hfs support in the kernel and used the iPod out of the box.  Does anyone here have experience with the issue?  If keeping hfs is an option, which kernel modules are needed and are they available in the stock kernel?
    Thanks
    Kevin

    I have used a few ipods with linux, but i used them with windows first because it only took about 5min. for me to name my ipod and all that through iTunes, so i would reccomend doing it that way and then sync your music using gtkPod in linux..

  • Please help me with this 1st gen ipod Nano question!

    Unfortunately, my 1st gen Nano just died, most likely due to the heat in my car since I played it in there all the time. Now I have inherited an old 2nd gen Nano and would love to be able to transfer all the music from my dead 1st gen to this one. Is it possible without the computer that had all the music from my 1st gen? (the computer died long ago as well!) Is there a way to transfer the music from nano to nano without a computer? Or am I just out of luck...? Thank you for any help you can offer.

    Just so I understand, your Nano is dead, the computer you used to sync it is dead, and I assume you have no backup.
    Is that right?
    Anyway, you can't copy music directly from one Nano to another, dead or alive.
    See if this helps: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    I believe you will need to download all your iTunes purchases to a computer and sync it with the replacement Nano. You do not have to pay for previous iTunes Store purchases again.
    Launch iTunes on a computer.
    Click on iTunes Store on the left
    On the right you will see this
    Click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
    On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
    On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.
    To play what you download, you will need to "Authorize this Computer" for each computer you wish to authorize. This only has to be done once. There is a limit of five computers that you may authorize.

  • Ipod Nano - Movies and Wheel Questions

    1. I just purchased the 16GB Ipod Nano and within two weeks the wheel stopped working. I reset the software via iTunes and also by holding down the menu and select button. Nothing worked. Now I'm waiting for a replacement from the store as they were out of stock.
    Is this a common item and if so any idea on how to fix it?
    2. I'd like to watch movies from my PC to my TV. However, I don't have a newer TV with an RGB connection and don't want to pay the $100 or so for the converter box. What I'm going to do is purchase either the Component AV Cable or the Composite AV Cable. In my current TV, I only have the Video and L/R audio so unless I can convert Component to Composite, my only real choice is the Composite for my current TV.
    I'm looking at a new TV which does have both Component and Composite jacks. I was wondering when watching a movie from the Ipod Nano does it make that much of a difference between the Component and Composite cables? Since my new TV will also have and RGB connection, I'll be able to connect my computer directly.
    However, in the interim if I want to watch movies the only choice I have is the Composite cables. I just don't want to spend $50 now and $50 in the next six months. Granted the Composite also gives more flexibility to use on other older TVS.
    Based on the output from the Nano, is the Component cable that much better?
    Thanks
    Shawn

    I entered this question into the incorrect forum. Is it possible to move this question to the Ipod forums without asking the same question twice?

  • Questions for ipod nano 5g owners

    +Please can anybody convince me to get a 5g 16 gigs nano? I'm a bit scared to go for this new buy and sell my old 3g nano.+
    Would really appreciate if u guys can give me a feedback on these few questions. I don't intend to use the camera much at all and I don't want to play videos on it...still im a bit concerned about the battery.
    1) How is the battery quality? Experiencing any troubles?
    I do own a 3g ipod nano and the battery rocks, I can listen to some music for about 2 hours per day and go like that for a week or so. 4g ipod nano was a real lemon if compared to the 3g...wondering if the 5g is as good as the 3g or not.
    2) What about the flashy colours that have been used? Are they looking good? I honeslty really liked the satinated aluminium and the soft colouring of the 4g better.
    3) The clicking wheel is that rather thick? I do remember that the 4g nano had an incredible light clicking wheel when i was touching it it felt like it could broke if really pressed hard. 3g has not that issue, it feels very sturdy and compact.
    4) I also noticed that in many pic sonline there is a sort of a gap between the clicking wheel of the 5g and the cover of the ipod itself. Is that something that all the owners of the 5g have or there are only some bad manifactured ones out there?

    1. I haven't been able to test the battery power extensively due to the fact that I've been playing around with transferring videos from my iPod to my PC, and I just installed a hookup in my car so I could listen to it in there, and this hookup also charges the battery... BUT I did play Sudoku on it the other day while I was waiting for a pizza to cook. The timer had me clocked at 14 minutes after it was all said and done (I thought I was pausing it but it kept counting the time, and the screen never went idle). After I finished, I looked at the battery power and it had barely gone down at all, maybe a slight smidgen at most. With my 4th Gen, I could play a game of Sudoku for about 8-9 minutes and that could drain a full battery anywhere from a quarter to halfway down, so in comparison, 5th gen battery life is MUCH better then 4th gen, though I suspect I may have had a faulty battery in the old one...
    2. Personally, I love the new colors and casing on the new nano's. Very shiny.
    3. I played around with my 3rd, 4th and 5th gen to see what you ment about the click wheel. The 3rd gen is thicker, but with the 4th and 5th gen, you are dealing with a slimmer nano, so Apple most likely slimmed down the click wheel to compensate for room. My 4th gen held up well, I don't see why the 5th gen would be much different.
    4. I think any gaps you may have seen from pics might have been a trick of light and shadow. All Nanos have extremely tiny spaces between the click wheel and the casing if you look close enough. For the 5th gen, I think it might be the aluminum finish, and that the click wheel is raised ever so slightly on each side, that makes the gap on that nano seem larger then it really is.
    I hope this helps, but of course, this is only my version, I'm sure others will put there two cents in too.

  • Apple iPod Nano replacement program - question

    Hello, Apple community,
    I have a question about the new replacement program of the iPod nano 1st gen.
    The program doesn't state whether or not you get a refund or a new iPod nano (the small squared once with touch screen).
    The program says that you'll get a replacement iPod Nano, but isn't very specific if it is the new generation.
    I apologise for any spelling mistakes and such.
    Thank you for any answer,
    Pool313

    Hi lindsayfromspencerport,
    I can say it is not a scam - Apple is definitely replacing the iPods.  Once I read the article and went to apple.com, that proved it.  Apple.com would never risk another class action lawsuit over this iPod.
    My First Generation iPod was given to me at work for being the winner of a give-away drawing and about a year or so ago it overheated and erased all the info on the iPod.  Now it will only charge and drain the battery.  It no longer allows me to store any thing on it.
    I am glad that Apple is doing this exchange.  I thought I was just out of luck and was glad I had not paid full price for it.  I love my Nano and used it constantly!!!
    Just send your's in using the box and label they send you and give them 6 weeks like the apple.com website says, Apple will make good on their product.  Millions of people don't stand in line and wait weeks/months for their new products to arrive for no reason, trust me.  Oh, by the way, I know this for sure.....I work for a wireless phone service that has been dealing with Apple for Yearsssssssssssss.....and every year the same thing.  People will give anything to get a product with that apple on it.

  • Questions in relation to iPod nano

    Hi,
    I have a few questions in relation the 5th generation iPod nano and I was hoping to find answers to them here.
    *Voice Memo*
    1. Are there any limitations imposed on the nano's voice memo functionality?
    For instance, does the nano record up to a predetermined number of minutes (say 30 minutes) or until the recording's file size reaches a particular threshold (say 100 MB)?
    Is this the case or are you only limited by how much free space you have on the device?
    2. Have people found the built-in mic to be a decent one or have they found themselves needing to purchase an external accessory to enhance the recording's audio quality.
    Radio
    This might be a silly questions, but Apple's website states that the latest nano has a built-in FM antenna. Does that mean you cannot get AM radio stations on the device?
    Thanks,
    Message was edited by: Infinite Lupe

    Hello Infinite Lupe,
    1. Are there any limitations imposed on the nano's voice memo functionality?
    Yes. Once the recording has reached the two mark the iPod automatically starts a new recording that again will go for two hours. However, this is limited as well to the amount of space remaining on your iPod as well. For more information see pages 74 - 76 of the iPod's *User Guide* which I provided below.
    2. Have people found the built-in mic to be a decent one or have they found themselves needing to purchase an external accessory to enhance the recording's audio quality.
    From my experiences the built-in microphone does just fine whether its being used for recording voice memos or videos.
    This might be a silly questions, but Apple's website states that the latest nano has a built-in FM antenna. Does that mean you cannot get AM radio stations on the device?
    Correct.

  • IPod Nano/Touch Cable Question

    Little curious question here...
    Is there much of a difference between the iPod USB cable that came with a 2nd Gen iPod Nano -- or on second thought I think this cable may have came with the 5th Gen iPod with Vid. Capabilities that I lost -- and the USB cable that comes with iPod Touch 16GB 2008 edition besides that the latter doesn't have the locking clips that need to be squeezed before disconnect?
    Both are attached to a QS2002 PM G4 DP 1GHz 768mb Ram built in USB 1.1 ports connected to a very old (1999 old) USB hub though the touch cable is connected to a A-A USB extension cable then to the hub.
    The reason for my question is just a few moments ago my brother handed me his iPod touch to be charged, I connected to the older iPod Cable and received no response from the iPod and the computer didn't acknowledge its connection. Thinking the cable I plugged the Nano in to the same port and no prob, Nano beeps iTunes pops up after a few secs with the standard warning "Connected to slower USB port, iPod runs slow etc..."
    I plug the Touch wire into the extension which is running from the hub attached to the back of the computer on top of cabinet (I was being lazy) and the iPod responds loads into iTunes as it should.
    So to rephrase my question is there a difference in the ipod cables bundled with the iPod Touches that the touches will only work when connected to that cable instead of an older cable?

    is there a difference in the ipod cables bundled with the iPod Touches that the touches will only work when connected to that cable instead of an older cable?
    Not that I'm aware of (other than the push-button release that you mentioned). I have charged and synced my IPT via the cable that came with it and with cables from a Nano (1st gen). I have also charged my IPT with a FireWire cable (with and without the dock) from an old 3rd gen iPod (newer iPods won't sync via FW, but will charge), and I use a Griffin PowerJolt (which pre-dates the IPT) in the car.
    Of course, that doesn't address what's happening in your case.
