Would a genius in a genius bar replace my ipod touch 4g cracked screen for free under warranty

So yesterday I dropped my Ipod touch 4g 8g and the screen cracked really bad... I know apple doesn't cover this but im still under warranty.. Would a genius in a genius bar give me a new one for free here in Calgary AB..?? please i really need help............
P.S i know already how much it cost if they dont give me a new one

Damage due to dropping is not covered under the warranty so a genius at a genius bar is not going to give you a new iPod for free. They may offer you a replacement, same or comparable unit, at a fee, but again, not for free.

What would apple do if my ipod touch is broken and is still under warranty?

What would apple do if my ipod touch is broken and is still under warranty?

It depends on how it was broken. Apple are very strict when it comes to enforcing warrantys so unless the damage was a result of a manufacturing error then you have little chance of having your device replaced or serviced without having to pay a fee.
The warranty states that Apple do not cover;
damage resulting from accident - ie. accidentally dropping it
liquid damage
disassembly
unauthorised service - ie. trying to fix the hardware yourself
unauthorised modifications - ie. "jailbreaking"

If I replace my Ipod touch 4th gen screen with a local company other than Apple will the apple warrenty be void or will the warrenty be void if I replace the screen myself?

Regardless of what Apple may or may not say about repair work done by a third party (a non-Apple company or you yourself), the Magnuson-Moss Act precludes them from voiding your warranty simply because you had work done by a third party or used non-OEM parts. Typically people hear of thie Act as it is applied to cars. Car manufacturers cannot require you go to a dealership for repairs or that you use OEM parts. They cannot void your warranty for doing that. The Act applies to all consumer goods. Computer manufacturers cannot require you send your computer to them for memory upgrades or that you use memory supplied by them. Apple cannot require you to go to Apple for repair work or that you use Apple parts in that repair.
With that said, though, if you have a problem in the future, Apple could make the claim that it was the result of damage from improper repair or substandard parts. Your only recourse would be the court system, not a quick or inexpensive endeavor.

How much does it cost to replace a iPod touch 5g. the screen is completely broke and digitiser and theres no front and back camera??

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours. Note the older 16 GB 5G has only a front camera and the other 5Gs (16 GB released late last month and the 32 and 64 GB 5Gs have both front and back cameras)

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.

Is there anyway for apple to replace my ipod touch if the screen cracked?

The screen cracked when it shouldnt have, on a simple fall and i read on other discussions that some ipods have been replaced by the company?

Although "drops" are not covered by the warranty, sometimes the Apple Genius will replace the iPod at no cost. It is up to their discretion. The only way to find out is to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I need some advice on replacing my ipod touch 4th generation screen. The silver plate won't go back into it's original place and i can't put the screws back in. I really need help i don't want my ipod to be broken!!!

I started to replace my ipod 4g screen but the silver plate that goes on top of the battery won't go back into place. It's not lining up with the screw holes so i can't finish the repair. Please I'm begging you all to help me with some advice and tips!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be greatly appreeciated. ASAP

Your best bet is to email the company that sold you the screen for advice. Or you could search on YouTube for repair instructions. Hopefully, you will see where you went wrong. Apple will not do an out-of-warranty replacement on an iPod that has been opened.

I just replaced my ipod touch 4th generation screen and I went to go turn it on and it flashes the apple symbol then goes black and does the same thing over and over.

I do not knw why it does this?

Oh ur in the boot loop! You have to restore I believe. Was ur device jailbroken? Because you would have to completely reset it.

Can I Turn Genius off on my iPod Touch?

Just a simple question - I'm not too fond of this Genius feature... I've got about 1,000 songs and most songs keep coming up when I press Genius in their respective audio realms, which is making me get sick of songs really fast. What I want to know is: can I turn off the genius feature on my iPod Touch? It's off on iTunes 8, but does anyone know how I can turn it off on my iPod Touch 2.1?

I was hoping to just rid the iPod of it, but if it won't go away, I won't use it (as I've stopped). I was just hoping to not have it on my iPod anymore. But many thanks for your help!

Why cant I form a Genius playlist from my ipod touch anymore

Why cant I form a Genius playlist from my ipod touch anymore?

To update
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later

The iPhone is not user servicable. You can get an out of warranty replacement from Apple for $149. If you open the phone yourself, you forfeit the ability to do this.

Where can i get my ipod touch 5th generation screen replaced for, like, $50 to $60 dollars?

where can i get my ipod touch 5th generation screen replaced for, like, $50 to $60 dollars? I broke it a few days ago and so far havent been able to find a place to repair it. Also,it would be best if the place was online, because live in a small town with virtually no places to get this done. If you could help that would be sooo amazing! Thank you!

We can not advise you on getting unauthorized service for your iPod.
Keep in mind that Apple does NOT sell parts
