  • Will Apple replace my Ipod Touch 5g, Even if its over a year old?

    I have an iPod touch 5g, which i bought in January of 2013. This iPod has been malfunctioning for a couple of days now. I connect it to a power source since it indicates its low on battery. When I do, it turns on, however, it will not charge much and the battery will continue to be red on the top right hand corner of the screen. I have an app which helps indicate around how much battery the iPod has. This app says that the iPod never charges past 15% and if i disconnect it, it shuts down. If the problem is in the battery, and it's a hardware problem, will Apple replace my iPod? Can they still do it? It is over a year old, but after all, i paid for a product that would last longer than a year and a half, didn't I?

    You no longer have warranty coverage. Whatever Apple will do you will have to pay for it since it is out of warranty.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • IPhone unlocked by carrier, will Apple replace with an unlocked phone in the event of a warranty replacement?

    Hi there.
    I use an iPhone with the Canadian provider, Fido.  I purchased the phone from Fido and signed up for a 3 year contract in order to recieve the phone at the reduced price.  I understand that Fido performs a carrier lock on the phone when you sign up in this way so that the phone can only be used on the Fido network. 
    At the moment I am in the process of cancelling my contract with Fido and switching over to another provider in Canada.  After doing some research, I found out that Fido offers a service where they will unlock your phone from their network when you finish your contract, for a fee.  Since I am cancelling my contract and paying the early cancellation penalty, my contract will be satisfied and I will be eligible for the unlock service.   My plan is to have my iPhone unlocked by Fido so that I can use the phone with my new provider. 
    My question is this: If I have my phone legitimately unlocked by my provider, will Apple send me an unlocked phone in the event that their is a hardware failure covered under warranty, and I need a replacement iPhone?  All my previous replacement iPhones have been, to my knowledge, locked by Apple back onto my provider before they are sent to me.  But, it would be awfully annoying if a replacement phone came to me locked onto an old network that I no longer use.
    Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    Are you sure about this? I thought so too, but when I received my replacement iPhone 6, it was locked again.
    I bought a carrier locked iPhone. Then it was replaced with another carrier iPhone. This second phone (first replacement) was then unlocked. Later the unlocked iPhone was replaced with a third phone (second replacement). To my disappointment the second iPhone replacement is locked.
    The Authorized Service center said that Apple made a mistake and should unlock it remotely ASAP. Apple Support however, says that iPhones are replaced with specifications of the originally initially purchased iPhone. If the original was unlocked, they would replace it with unlocked, but if it was locked then replaced with a locked and then unlocked by carrier. The carrier should be contacted again to unlock future replacements. I know it sounds ridiculous and illogical.
    If an iPhone has been unlocked (obviously by a carrier), why would you replace it with a locked iPhone and ask the customer to contact his carrier and request another unlock for the replacement iPhone? So inefficient and could be a problem if the carrier allows only one unlock per year per line like most do, or if you are no longer a customer of that carrier.
    Interestingly I found the following on Apple's "Hardware Warranty". Retrieved from: https://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/ios-warranty-document-us.html):
    "Following warranty service your Apple Product or a replacement device will be returned to you as your Apple Product was configured when originally purchased, subject to applicable updates.”
    What I understand from this is that replacements will be configured exactly as the originally purchased including any updates made to it. I believe unlock is considered an update.
    Apple Support argues that the second device was unlocked (updated), but the original (initial / first) device was not unlocked. Therefore, I should deal with my old carrier to unlock this one.
    How insanely ridiculous is that???

  • My iPod touch is faulty. it is less than 2 years old.  Will apple replace it even if its not within warranty?

    Ipod touch issues include faulty home button, and only half a day battery life.  It is less than 2 years old but no extended warranty.  I have heard Apple will replace??

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price as an out-of-warrany replacement. They do not fix yours.

  • Will Apple replace my iPad 3rd Gen?

    I bought my iPad 3rd generation on launch day along with Apple Care +. I was wondering which iPad I would get if I were to get a replacement device(because Apple doesn't sell the 3rd gen iPad anymore.). Thanks!

    If it is replaced under warranty, it would be the same generation, capacity and size as your existing unit.

  • Will Apple replace my damaged headphone even if the warrenty had expired?

    Will Apple replace my damaged headphone if the warrenty has expired?

    Warranty is there to replace something that failed due to manufacturing defects
    "Damage" is not covered by warranty (unless caused by, or at, manufacturing time).
    So the answer is "no".

  • I am having problems downloading an app on my itouch 4th gen app store

    I am having problems with downloading an app on my itouch 4th gen app store. When I go to the certain app, the price isn't highlighted as if it isn't compatible with my itouch 4th gen even though it says it is and it fits all the critera. Would downloading the certain app on the computer app store instead of my itouch work or should I try something else?

  • Will apple replace ur phone if its under warranty

    Will apple replace ur iPhone 4 for free if its still under warranty

    Yes, as long as you have not dropped it in water or damaged it yourself, it has been known for genius to help if you are honest and have caused damage but dont bet on it. If its a phone fault which cant be fixed, then yes they will after checking the phone out for water ingress etc. If you have Applecare+ you get one free exchange for accidental damage in the US I think.

  • Need wifi passcode on itouch 4th gen

    Can I put a passcode no the wifi on/off of a itouch  4th gen?
    It is not under Restrictions, so I don't know how to do this.

    No, that is not a feature of iOS.  You can passcode lock the entire device, and whatever specific features are listed in the restricitons settings.  Thats it though.

    Good day!
    I already used the 30 day trials on my MacBook at home, so now I need to get free trials on my PC at home.
    You could also pay for the program if you use it, educational pricing is available.
    As far as I can tell the three formats (psd, ai, indd) should open in the corresponding versions of the respective programs on either platform.
    Fonts can of course be an issue.
    What exactly was the »trouble«?

  • Will apple replace a 4th gen cracked screen for free?

    Will apple replace a 4th generation iPod touch with a cracked screen for free?

    No. A cracked screen is defined as accidental damage and accidental damage is not covered by the warranty. IIRC, the out of warranty fee is $99 for an iPod 4.

  • My Itouch 4th Gen. screen has cracked. Will having warranty make a difference for the repair price?

    The bottom half of my itouch 4th Gen. has cracked. Everything is still working fine, it's just the screen that is damaged. I have a warranty for my itouch and i was wondering if the repair price would be any different. Also where do i take it for repair? Do i just drop by my local apple store, and give it to them to repair it? How long will it take for repair? or will they just replace it?

    No. Warranty covers workmanship and material only. In order to cover damage you need insurance.

  • Itouch 4th gen white screen after replacement

    after changing cracked screen on a itouch 4th gen white screen is displayed

    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 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. However, they may refuse to even look at tit since you worked on the iPod yourself. It could be that you broke a ribbon cable of did some other damage when replacing the screen, the screen was defective or there was other damage besides the screen, like the logic board.
