Will the retail Apple Store replace/repair my iPod

Do I have to send in my broken iPod to Apple, or can I simply take it to my local Apple store for repair?
Thanks

Many people have posted here that they got their iPod exchanged at a store. I think (but don't know) that it would depend on how old the iPod is.
As to whether the replaced iPod would be a new or refurbished one, I would think (again, I don't know) it would be new as the Apple stores don't carry refurbs as far as I know.
The only people who can give a you a definitive answer to your questions of course are the folks at the Apple store.

Will my nearest Apple store replace my iPod 3rd Gen battery and if so roughly how much will it cost?

Really as the subject says. I don't really want to spend my time travelling to the nearest shop (as I will end up drooling and possibly broke when I come out) but want to know if I did go how much would it cost

See the iPod Owners section in this Apple support document for pricing and other information regarding a battery replacement for your iPod.

Will the Chermside apple store have a midnight launch for the ipad 3?

Does anyone know if the Chermisde or Robina store in Queensland will be offering a midnight launch of the iPad 3?
I would love to go and line up and wait for the launch and buy one in person, rather than waiting for it to arrive in the post.

You'd stand a better chance of a good answer if you phoned them....

Can employees at apple store replace and fix ipod touch 4th generation dock connecter

No.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

Contour Showcase for iPhone: is it at retail Apple Store?

Hello fellow iPhone owners,
I'm looking to purchase a Contour Showcase for iPhone with my rebate and was wondering if anyone has seen it in the retail Apple Stores yet?

Thanks Crazybernie. I plan on calling the Rancho Cucamonga (CA) Apple Store to see if they have it. Might drive down tommorrow to pick one up along with a green Shuffle.

Apple Store Education Discounts and iPod 5G

Does anyone know if the retail Apple Stores offer the online education discounts? I asked my wife who's a teacher for a video iPod for X-mas, and was wondering if she can get the discount at the retail store as another purchase option. Thanks.
Mike.

Michael, here in Australia, or at least in the shop I went to in Canberra, they definitely told me that they could not offer me educational discount on the iPod or its accessories, or any other iPod-related hardware, such as the Nano for example. No problem if you buy online though, you will get the educational discount - obviously -since they advertise it.
Having said that, you might find that some Apple stores will offer you education discount on the iPod. The return policy varies from store-to-store, so it might be the same with regards to their application of ed. discounts. I guess you can only ask...

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 5s. 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.

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. Start with Google to search for these.

Can a local Apple store replace the hard drive in a current iMac

Can a local Apple store replace the hard drive in a current iMac or do they have to send it out to a service center for repair? I was told that the new iMacs are too difficult to service now that they are glued together and a local Apple store cannot do the repair themselves. Is this true?

i know the SSD is serviceable like all the apple products, and isn't that difficult to replace. definitely reach out to the store and find out. you should be able to call ahead and get some answers from the Genius Bar.

It seems like I just missed the interval for the hard disk replacement program. I purchased in March 2009 a 24 inch Intel iMac . How much does it cost to have apple support at an Apple Store replace a hard drive?

My hard drive continually has the floating beach ball and will take massive time to fulfill a request. And then will not boot up...so then I have to do a restore and rebuild hard drive from a past saved time machine version. Works for a little bit...then the floating beachball comes more and more...until it will not boot up again. So then I restore from a previous time machine saved version....and again it works for a day or so ... until it happens again. Now it's happening faster and faster...so I think my hard drive is dying.

My phone's earphone doesn't work which was bought from USA last month,the china apple store didn't accept the free repaired,so what can i do now?

my new iphone5s's earphone doesn't work which was bought from USA last month,probably it was cause by falling down on floor insidentally one day before I came back china , the problem is ,the china apple store didn't accept the free repaire even the phone was bought only one month age, I was so disappointed and realized the iphone 5s is so fragile,although I previous iphone4 which was also bought from USA 4 years age, it also fell down many times, it still works well now. what can i do now? send it back to USA for repairing? if like that,it will take almost two month to finish the all processes,that not only waste the time spent on the way, also waste expense on the expense,the important prlblem is, I can't use the phone during the repairing~ please give me a solution as soon as you can ,thank you very much!

You can send it to someone you know in the US to have them take it in for service or you can get on a plane and take it there yourself. You can not ship it to Apple in the US for service.

When will iPhone 5 be available contract-free @ the US Apple Store?

Hello everyone!
Would anyone know when will iPhone 5 be available contract-free @ the US Apple Store?
Thnx in advance

No contract iPhones will likely be available on the 21st when the iPhone 5 becomes available for retail sales. Note though that you can buy an unsubsidized, contract free iPhone which will still be locked to a specific carrier.
If you want an unlocked iPhone, that is also sold at the full retail, unsubsidized price, but Apple has not announced yet when unlocked phones will be available.
Just beware that contract-free does NOT necessarily mean unlocked, so make sure you are buying what you actually want.
Also note that the new iPhone 5 GSM only phone comes in two versions - one for NA LTE channels, and one for European/Asian LTE channels, so be sure you get one that will work with the data networks available where you plan to use it (the non-NA LTE channel version will not be sold in the USA).

I'm having a brand new unopened Apple 5W USB adapter from UK. I want an Indian version USB adapter. Will Apple Store replace my USB adapter for free of cost ?

I'm having a brand new unopened Apple 5W USB adapter from UK for my iphone 5. I want an Indian version USB adapter. Will Apple Store replace my USB adapter for free of cost ?

Perhaps, but maybe not, as what can they do with one with the UK plugs? I'm just saying regional things like that often have to be returned at a store in the country you bought them.
But, just go and ask as the worse they can say is no. If they do say no they cannot exchange it, then for very little money you can buy a UK-to-India plug adapter and use that charger in India anyway. Such plug adapters are only $2-$5 here in the USA on Amazon.

The hard drive on my MacBookPro crashed. The Apple store replaced it. Since then I can't open iphoto. It asks to rebuild library; when I click yes, I get: "Aperture cannot access this library; reset permissions." I don't own Aperture!

The hard drive on my MacBookPro recently crashed. The Apple store replaced it. Since then I can't open iphoto. It asks to rebuild library; when I click yes, I get: "Aperture cannot access this library; reset permissions." I don't own Aperture! Any thoughts on how I can rebuild the iphoto library? Currently I can't even get into it.

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
