What to check for on an iPod 4th gen?

I plan to buy a used iPod 4th gen from a guy. I was wondering if anyone could give me pointers and tips about what to check for to make sure the iPod is working fine and is legit. Thanks.

- You can look here to help determine if it was stolen. Not 100%,
Online Stolen Property Database | Online Lost & Found Database | Stolen Lost & Found Online
- Enter the SN here and see if it says anything strange like the SN does not exist.
Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
- Make sure it works, all buttons work. it connects to wifi. Screen is not cracked.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod (Settings>iCloud)  before it was stolen and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and and go to FIndMyiPhone.

  • What should i do if my ipod 4th gen. is stuck on the apple boot logo

    I was respringing my ipod and when it was booting up it never got past the boot logo. I tried reseting it on itunes but just got erorr 21. what is that anyway

    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • What can i do if my ipod 4th gen got wet?

    please help!! i dropped it in the toilet on accident!!!

    Do not attempt to turn it on for a few days.
    Leave it in a warm, dry, but not hot environment. Some people report success by putting the iPod in a bag of uncooked rice in a warm, dry, but not hot enviroment. Slipping the iPod in a nice clean dry sock first will keep little rice crumbs from getting caught in the headphone jack.
    The rice allegedly absorbs the moisture.
    Normally, you could cook and consume the rice after it does its magic, but in your situation I would advise against that.
    Give it a good four, five days, then cross your fingers and hope it turns on.

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.

  • I replaced the hard drive to a 30gig on my Ipod 4th gen. click wheel but it is still not recognized on my computer or in itunes......I get an error message with a folder and "!"....what can I do to fix??

    I replaced the hard drive to a 30gig on my Ipod 4th gen. click wheel but it is still not recognized on my computer or in itunes......I get an error message with a folder and "!"....what can I do to fix??

    Have you recharge the battery for at least 2 hours, or just leave it connected for 4 hours?
    (When you replaced the Hardisk, you should also replace the battery.)
    Some other iPod SSD sites, says that you may have to format the CF in FAT32, as Mac dont read NTFS drive so if Windows is the 1st PC that your CF is connected, it may be formatted to NTFS.
    You can try erasing the CF using Disk Utilty, so that Mac can recognise it. (but not Windows)
    Have a nice day!

  • My ipod 4th gen went onto a blank white screen and turned off. what should i do?

    My iPod 4th gen was dead so I charged it, the apple sign appeared and stayed on the screen for about 10 minutes then went onto a blank white screen and turned off. Now I can't charge it and it has already happened multiple times. what should I do? I also don't know which iOS operating system it is, does that matter?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod 4th gen screen lifting and black spot, what do I do?

    Ok so like 2 months ago my iPod 4th gen screen started lifting. I was like woah I have to get that fixed but the weird part was that I had never dropped it. Also after a while it started getting a black spot right next to where it was lifting. I ignored it at first because it was small but then it started getting bigger. My case has kept it together but to clean it I have to take it off and when I snapped it back on the corner where it was lifting cracked. I don't know if this was something like they didn't put on the screen right but I don't wanna have to pay so much to fix something that they did if it was their fault. Help please what do I do
    Would the warranty cover this?

    If the iPod was not abused it is covered by the warranty.
