How to Check the Status of an iPod Repair

If your Apple iPod or iTouch needs repairs, there are three simple ways to get it fixed under warranty: You can send it to Apple, you can bring it to an Apple retail location or you can have it returned under extended warranty at the store you purchased it at.  If you cannot make it to a retail location, you want to contact Apple via their Online Service Assistant.  They will give you an address and return authorization that lets you know exactly where to send it and how long the turnaround will be.  From there, Apple will repair or replace your iPod and send it back to you.

Before sending an iPod in for repair, you want to ensure you are not located near an Apple retail store.  If you are, you simply bring it to the location for them to take care of it for you.  If you cannot make it to a store, you want to contact Apple's online support.  This is the quickest and easiest way to get a return authorization and send in your iPod to the closest service center.  Once an Apple representative has given you the information needed, you simply send the iPod to them and they will either repair or replace it for you under warranty.

If you are curious about what is happening with your iPod, you can simply contact Apple's online support for a status update.  Usually, Apple's team will get back to you within 24 hours but the turnaround time is generally quicker than that.  They can give you status updates on where your iPod is, what is going on with it and whether or not you have been authorized for repair or replacement.  Apple strives itself on providing the best possible customer service and they understand how important iPods are in the lives of their customers.
