Would apple charge me for fixing my home button on my 4th generation Ipod touch if it's under warranty?

I have a 4th generation Ipod tough. My Home button hasn't been responding for a while now. I have to press it down really hard to get it to work. I want to go send it to a apple store so they can fix it, but I'm not sure if they'll fix it for free or If I have to pay for it, it's under warranty. I bought it at Wal-mart and has a 2 year warranty , plus the warranty for apple. I want to know if they'll do it for free, if not, how much would they charge me? I Also trouble shooted it and everything.

If you have the AppleCare extended warranty (2 years total) and the iPod is within warranty, defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at not cost for a refurbished one. You can check you warranty coverage with Apple by entering the iPod's SN here:

  • The home button on my 4th generation iPod touch is stuck.

    The home button on my 4th generation iPod touch is stuck. How can I fix it at home and get it unstuck? Or were can I take it to get it fixed where it is free or where I do not have to pay a lot of money. With my stuck home button I have to wait for an app to close out for me to open a new one or I have to turn off my iPod completley ad turn it back on to go to a new app.

    The Home button is slow to respond
    If the Home button is slow to respond when exiting one application, try another application.
    If the issue exists only in certain applications, try removing and reinstalling those applications.

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

  • Why is my 4th generation ipod touch not charge? I plug it into the computer and the wall and with 2 different usb cables and its not charging. When its plugged in it shows the icon for charging but the battery never increases and it dies once i disconnect

    I have a 4th generation Ipod Touch. It has been working for months when yesterday the battery started acting werid. I was driving and it was connected with the usb charger cable to my car stereo when all the sudden my music stopped and the stereo could not recognize my ipod at all. When I got back home, I tried to charge it so it wouldnt die but even while on the charger in the wall the battery continued to die. I charged it over night (the first time I have ever charged it over night) desperately to have battery for a 4 o clock plane flight so I would have entertianment. The ipod died over night while on the charger. When I unplugged it from the usb charging cable I noticed that the icon telling me the ipod needed to be charged came up. So I plugged it back in. The charging thunder bolt symbol popped up next to the very small red strip on the left side of the battery indicating that the ipod had no charge to turn its self on. I tried plugging it in on the computer, the wall ac charger and a stereo system made just for the ipod that also pluggs into the wall. I have used 2 different cables, the result being the same that the ipod held no charge, and it wouldnt charge at all while on the charger, and it would imediately die once i take it off the charger.
    I have not idea what has happened ....
    Please help
    THanks!

    - While charging try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

  • Will apple give me money for my 4th generation ipod touch?

    How much can I earn for my 4th generation iPod touch to get a 5th generation ipod touch?

    Through Apple, not more than 10% off the price of a new one. If your old one's in working order, you're probably better off selling it to someone else.

  • Why wont my 4th generation ipod touch charge using a wall or car adaptor.

    I recently received a brand new 8gb 4th generation ipod touch for christmas. It used to work fine and charge fine. Now it can only be charged in a computer. I have tried multiple adapters and charger cables and nothing works. It has nothing wrong with it other then this problem, no screen cracks, and everything else works fine. In comparison, my old 2nd generation ipod touch has a cracked screen and cant play music because the headphone jack is busted, and can still be charged just fine using a wall socket, car, or computer. I have restored it twice now to no avail. It is updated to most recent software as well. Please help me.

    If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod then it appears you have a hardware problem. Look carefully at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, broken or cracked plastic pieces.
    An appountment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store would be in order.

  • My 4th generation Ipod touch goes shows that it is charging when it is completely dead, but as soon as it stars up it ceases to charge

    My 4th generation Ipod touch shows that it is charging when it is plugged in and completely dead, but as soon as it goes past the apple screen it ceases to charge! What can i do to get it to charge?

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    and maybe
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Is there a size difference between iPod Touch 1G home button and other versions of iPod Touch?

    I have an old iPod Touch 1G home button that got stuck. So I bought a new home button to replace it and I'm having trouble fitting it in the hole that I'm replacing. I'm not sure the new button I have is for iPod Touch 1G or for other iTouch versions.
    Does anyone know where I find a video how to replace iPod Touch home button and where can buy the home button if the button I have is not for 1G?

    this is a shop online were you can buy the home button http://www.repairsuniverse.com/ipod-touch-1g-button-replacements.html
