Cracked iPod Touch screen
Hi Guys, A friend of mine has a iPod touch less than 12 months old and the screen has been cracked. I am pretty sure the apple warranty would not cover this.

I'm down in Albany and used OWC - although they are in the US they ship worldwide and delivered very promptly. However, whether you want to use them or not, their website is very good for checking on memory compatibility etc. Their iMac page is http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac with further details when you click on the link for your particular model, eg for the core 2 Duo range: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac/Intel_Core_2_Duo On thing I found very useful was their installation video: http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/imac_mid_2007_mem/ Which re-assured me when I found that you have to be quite firm when seating/unseating the RAM. You may want to buy locally - if so I am sure Daniel Kerr will not only give you a good deal, he will be able to answer any queries regarding models/RAM/installation.

Hi there, Does anyone know how to put back into the Hard drive sidebar the Today, Yesterday and Past week folders (with the round clock) which are under the menu SEARCH FOR.

Re: Ebay
Thank you all for your great advice. I will tell my brother to tread carefully. I spoke to an executive at Apple just now and they are prepared to check the serial number for me if the seller provides me with one. She also advised there have been no reports of internal theft. Apple also said there is no warranty if the seller is not an Certified Australian wholesaler or retailer. Thanks Kind regards Nichole On 7/07/08 7:25 AM, Rob Davies [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Morning, Accept it is a risk and take precautions. Ask for serial numbers of machine, also provide boot rom version, model identifier. These give you some scope for seeing if it is stolen from Apples list. Also if specifications actually match build time and machine specifics. Organise own courier to do pick up giving them the cheque, money order or authorisation to confirm credit details. Although PayPal does offer insurance on some things I would check their validation process, but it is a guarantee of sorts. Also some credit cards offer this same protection over the eCommerce world, but again check before. eBay does have some form of assistance that changes frequently so read there disclosure statements. Besides all of the above try locally first, this site has a few people with machinery offers, also local retailers? It always is a gamble, as is life. But, in this time frame their are ways of verifying; hence, minimising the risk protecting ones own assets or some form of compensation if it goes wrong. Do the homework and assess your level of risk. If it sounds to good to be true then it more than likely is false, again assess risk. Applecare is a good insurance that machine works, if available on required hardware, as it is transferrable being item specific, but validate against machine information. Also be prepared for an extremely long replacement or repair scenario if required, as Apple Australia are notoriously slow with this scenario of bought and replacement or repair required. Now saying that I find eBay an annoying way of purchasing equipment, but have done so a few times saving monetary value, but utilised a lot of personal time to achieve. Yes, have had one go bad, but thanks to credit company was a minimal $50 on a substantial acquisition of 7K, done the homework minimising the loss. Applecare have had a couple of instances one that was replaced although not with similar standing, but was replaced. Other was repaired, but extremely slow in both cases, a 3 month scenario on first case still pending on outcome, and 9 weeks on second to replace power supply - CPU. Cheers! `Rob...
