4. Required Testing When Purchasing:

a) Physically inspect the phone and its package
After you get your iPod, open the box and check whether everything that should be inside is inside.

b) Make sure it is a new unit
If you are paying for a new unit, you can get a rough idea whether if it really is new or not. For ipod touch, there should be a piece of sticker on the screen. And also look at the back of the ipod for scratches. 1 or 2 scratches is normal, but not too many.

c) Test your iPod
Give your new ipod a test. Make sure all the buttons are working and check whether the earphone is working. Give a test on all features.

d)Warranty
If found any problem with your iPod, go to an Apple Reseller store and claim warranty. Apple offers International Warranty. To check if your iPod is under warranty, use the link below to check your warranty information and repair options for your product/location.

https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do

*for those who have jailbroken your iPod Touch, warranty will be void. Do an Erase All Content and Settings and restore to the default settings before sending back for warranty.

e)Locating iPod Serial Number

Here's a list of tips, tricks and hints to get the most out of your Lithium-ion iPod Touch or iPhone battery.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Safety note: If your battery ever becomes too hot to touch while charging then remove from charge immediately and leave to cool [note that it is normal for the device to get warm while charging but it should never be too hot to touch]. If this happens on a regular basis you may need to speak to Apple and possibly return your device and/or USB cable as one or the other may be faulty. Also be aware that cheap USB charging cables and wall adapters should be avoided. It's worth the expense of buying brand names.

Hello all.
Just wanna ask. Not sure if this is the right thread.
Is it possible for an ipod owner to not know his ipod's model number, much less he don't even know where its located?

I was searching for a 2nd-hand 1st gen nano (lost mine, darn! cry.gif ), when a guy came and offer his 3rd gen nano for only RM150!
That was too good to be true, but then he mentioned that the usb cable is missing, that was why he was selling it cheap.
Quite rational, I think. And I could always use my old cable.
But when I ask for his ipod's model number, surprise me, he don't know anything about it!
He even asked me how and where to find it. I was like shakehead.gif

I think, as ignorant as some people could get, they'd AT LEAST know bout that part. I mean, if you don't, how on earth did you registered for it's warranty?
Or some shop registered the warranty for the buyer?
In my case, the salesperson only explain to me how to register and all that. I did the registering myself.

So, it's possible right that the seller is like, trying to con people?

Just asking tho. Plus the fact with the missing usb cable, it's too suspicious.

iPod Touch 2G has a curvy back, has the volume rocker, and it has speakers. Apps run a little faster on iPod Touch 2G if compared to the 1G model. Check YouTube for good comparison videos on it. smile.gif

Yes, everything is pretty much the same except it doesn't have the phone functionality (duh.. tongue.gif ), GPS, camera. bryanyeo said that the speakers on the iPhone is much louder. smile.gif

Other than that, it's the same really. Only some games require the microphone function which is only present on the iPhone, but it's not a problem, as they're very few games that need that. smile.gif

No, the iPod Touch doesn't have the gps functionality. You still get the "Maps" application though, wholich you can use to show you directions of a certain place really neatly.

It depends really on what you really need. I aimed for the iPhone, but my mum got me a SE phone, so i was like, why would i need an iPhone? Also, it's really pricey if compared to the iPod Touch. If you really are in need of the phone and the text messaging functionalities, then you ought to get an iPhone. If you just need a music + entertainment device, then you should definitely go for the iPod Touch. Price? Look at the post made by siaulang above smile.gif

nano=small music player.light.portable
classic=big storage.big screen for video.(i dont think this matter as touch also got,but just my opinion)
touch=all rounder.multi-purpose.wide-usage prospect(depends on the apps.with the apps,lots can be done).also multimedia like video(biggest screen in ipod line-up)and wifi(with true internet browsing-like using web browser in pc)

Guys, I am thinking of getting the Ipod touch 2G. Am I am perplexed and disgusted with type of service provided when I called the Apple Store number. The number is 1800-80-6419. I got this number from http://store.apple.com/my?afid=p202|GOSGE&...-AA0000087354-1

The person whom was answering my call was eating while talking to me. When I inquired further the person seem unable to converse with me in english so I spoke malay with him. He handed me over to someone else and then said wrong number. I told them I how I got the contact details and all the fella said was "salah number le".

This really robs any confidence I have with the apple online store. Hence I would like to know if anyone here has apple contact details so that I can raise this matter.

p/s: Does the rest of the apple shops provide the laser engraving which is available from the online apple store ? Many thanks in advance.

I never contacted any of the Apple Online Store phone number as listed in the website.
For your knowledge, the Phone Number may not necessary is located in Malaysia.... It could be directed to other countries' as if the local one is not available. I had some experiences when called up Microsoft Toll-Free Number.

Anyhow, regarding your laser engraving question, it is only available for those purchase via Apple Store, none of the shops do provide such service. Lately I just ordered an iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen via Apple Store Malaysia... so far I did not encounter any problems, and now awaiting for the product to be delivered to me (from SuZhou, China - Malaysia).

yea... definitely it will damage a company's reputation and image indirectly, especially by those unprofessional conducts and attitudes.

I placed my ordered it on 12.05.2009 (Tuesday), and I got the latest status as I posted earlier above.
As if you carefully read on the Shipment Tracking... it did state down the Date & Time, From & To pertaining to the shipment information clearly.

The shipment's expected delivery date is by 18.05.2009 (Monday)... Hopefully will get it ASAP.
This is for the product with Laser Engraving perhaps.... if no engraving, perhaps it will be faster ? hmm.gif

Nope.... NOT all products are covered with International Warranty.
Device like iPhone and Apple TV are not International Warranty covered.
Those items' warranty only available in the country of you purchase.

This morning already received my iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen rclxm9.gif .... only took 3 days for the online order to be delivered rclxms.gif


Note :
On Apple Store Malaysia website, it states purchase over RM250 only will entitle FREE DELIVERY.

When I purchased iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen 1GB (1 unit), it is less than RM250, yet I still entitled for FREE Delivery (standard).
Perhaps Apple Store has amended their FREE Delivery T&C ? thumbup.gif

Check the SN online,btw just check everything like the 30 pin connector and others function.

But if it is new set,most probally it have clean content,which you have nothing to test on.

check the price here: http://store.apple.com/my

I suggest 4GB bcoz 4GB is the newer version of iPod Shuffle, and it is smaller

Bro, you can include this to your first post if you want, because many new users don't know how to manage their iPod and iPhone battery.

Here's a list of tips, tricks and hints to get the most out of your Lithium-ion iPod Touch or iPhone battery.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «



Safety note: If your battery ever becomes too hot to touch while charging then remove from charge immediately and leave to cool [note that it is normal for the device to get warm while charging but it should never be too hot to touch]. If this happens on a regular basis you may need to speak to Apple and possibly return your device and/or USB cable as one or the other may be faulty. Also be aware that cheap USB charging cables and wall adapters should be avoided. It's worth the expense of buying brand names.

-------------------------------------------

Battery Technical Info

iPhone 2G - Lithium Ion Polymer Battery 1400mAh 3.7v - APN 616-0290, 616-0291
iPhone 3G - Lithium Ion Polymer battery 1400mAh 3.7v - APN 616-0320, 616-0372 &APN 616-0366 (1600mAh)

Original power adapter for wall charging can costs more than RM100.

Does anyone here has experience on using third party aka cheap china power adapter to charge Ipod? smile.gif




Original Power Adapter

Cheap one that you can find in regular phone shop

By the way, the recent news that Ipod classic has been beefed up to 160GB, as slim as previous 120GB model but RM20 cheaper (RM979). Great bargain I think smile.gif

yes...i think it is safe...

as i have been using it for years....probably also depend on nasib lah....those that explode one are some very very very very rare cases nia...

juz look at the number of people using 3rd party one...not everyone's would explode or rosak....

so..in my opinion...its ok to use the 3rd party ones...

Hi..need some help.

As above, how can you tell whether an ipod touch is 2g or 3g? I know that the 3g has extra features like earphone with mic and faster processor and has a new 64GB. Let's not talk about the 64GB cos that would be a dead giveaway. Let's compare the 32GB from the 2g and 3g.

Say, you are going into a store to get the 32GB 3g ipod touch. How can you physically tell you are getting a 3g 32GB and not a 2g model? Are there any part numbers to cross-check with?

I remembered someone mentioned the way to differentiate them before, you can only differentiate them physically based on the words carved at the back, the 3rd gen being shorter than the 2nd gen one(less words). the word 32gb is also smaller(or bigger, forgot ady).

Thanks Chingwooi.

I also found out another piece of info. You can tell by looking at the part number i.e:

Mx***LL/A

x = C (3rd gen)
x = B (2nd gen)

So in the case of 32GB touch,

3g = MC008LL/A
2g = MB533LL/A

p/s: davidgary73, maybe you might like to add this to your pinned "Ipod Purchase Guide" thread for the benefit of those who do not know? icon_rolleyes.gif

Also,

2nd gen model = A1288
3rd gen model = A1318

not sure about better sound quality but from what I know, the 8gb touch 3gen is actually a 2nd gen 8gb with updated firmware and new model number.

Nope.... NOT all products are covered with International Warranty.
Device like iPhone and Apple TV are not International Warranty covered.
Those items' warranty only available in the country of you purchase.

This morning already received my iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen  rclxm9.gif .... only took 3 days for the online order to be delivered  rclxms.gif
Note :
On Apple Store Malaysia website, it states purchase over RM250 only will entitle FREE DELIVERY.

When I purchased iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen 1GB (1 unit), it is less than RM250, yet I still entitled for FREE Delivery (standard).

Getting an ipod touch 32G 3G from switch shop for RM1199.

They offer to add RM119 for wall adapter + screen protector + plastic cover protector + wipes (think this comes with it :/) is it worth it the add ons? I'd really want the plastic cover protector, cost RM45 by itself.. hmm..

How much is the ipod classic currently? With a pc fair coming up, would they sell it at a lower price then as well?

And... is an ipod a good investment?

Hello, guys. Not sure where to ask this but I will close this topic right after I get my answers.

I want to buy an iPod touch at Apple Online Store because of the name engraving service. Is it possible? Do they ship to Malaysia? Is it even safe?

you mean like they actually ship to within malaysia eh? so, they ship it from USA to malaysia? or they ship from malaysia apple store to my address? since the price in Apple Online Store is more or less the same as the price selling by the resellers here, some more can do engraving, why dont people order from Apple Online Store?

I don't think they ship from US, but from S'pore instead if you order from Apple online store Malaysia website. It takes days for the item to reach I guess that's why ppl prefer purchasing from the store, you also get to try the item on the spot before purchasing, which is smth you can't do purchasing on9, besides, not everyone would like to engrave their iPod xD Sometimes, apple premium shop do gv some freebies when you purchase the iPod.

Hi forumers... I'm new in this section of Lowyat, 'duo duo ji jiao'... smile.gif

I'm interested in purchasing an iPod Touch but I'm a bit confused with the generation thing... I read that there's this iPod Touch 1st gen, 2nd gen, now is 3rd gen right?

How do I differentiate the generations?

I've been browsing through Apple's Malaysia Online Store and I only saw 3 models of iPod Touch; 8GB, 32GB and 64GB... I don't know which generations are they...

What's the difference between the 8GB model and the 32/64 GB model? As fas as I see, the only difference is in the storage capacity (obviously), earphones and performance... Any other differences which make the 32/64GB model better than the 8GB one?

Hope someone can answer my queries. Thanks for reading! smile.gif

Definitely not 1st gen coz 1st gen doesn't hv bluetooth. Nobody will know whether it's 2nd or 3rd gen from those description. Why don't you buy from Apple authorized shop since the price is the same.

As long as you hv the ipod touch, you can claim it anywhere, they can check the warranty on9, you can check it as well on9. https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do

all they check is your serial number when you send in for warranty claims. as long as it reflects in their system that you warranty period is still valid, you can claim the warranty, worldwide.

I have ipod which i got for free from competition. I wanted to register the warranty, but it ask for date purchase. How to deal with this item if it is not purchase by me?

How if the item is faulty, like problem with earphones. Since the item is a prize, can I just go to any apple reseller for checking if i have no receipt and not yet register the warranty?

Hi, im just wondering does 8g ipodTouch 3rd generation exists in msia? how to check that its 3rd generation?
I'd been told that the ipodTouch that i bought is 3rd generation when i'm making my payment in one of the apple authorised reseller shop, but when i bring my ipodTouch to fix, it detects and was saying its a 2nd generation model.
I'm feeling very unpleasant for this. Wasting money to buy a outdated model.
Can someone please tell me how to verify its a 2nd generation or 3rd generation 8g ipodTouch model? Thanks alot.
Isit Model A1288 means 2nd generation?

There's no 3rd generation for iPod touch 8gb actually. The so called 3rd gen 8gb iPod touch is actually jus 2nd gen 8gb with upgraded firmware to 3.1.3, Only 32gb & 64gb version are the 3rd gen. So you're not being cheated.

I wanted to buy an ipod touch since long time ago.

So each month i earn around RM400 from my part time job.

Right now i don't know which way i shall go for:
Work for 1 month and use my RM400 to buy an used ipod touch 1G, then continue work for another few months until i have around 1k, sell off that ipod touch 1G, and buy a brand new ipod touch 3G?

or

Straight away work until I have 1k++ to buy a brand new ipod touch 3G?

Well, i already have an iPod Nano 3G for music so i'll mostly use the ipod touch to browse net + play games.
Is it really bad to play games on iPod Touch 1G? (slow response etc etc)
And iPod Touch 1G does not have speaker right? meaning i have to wear headphone all the time?

1st gen dun have speakers, so yes u need to wear headphones. i have the 1st gen, n that's why i mostly play games that do not need audio like doodlejump, pool games etc tongue.gif. if u cant wait to explore the apps, the 1st gen is fine, slight lag on some games (i always get low memory warning in Rock Band). if u can wait, work until september (4 months = rm1600 for you) around that time maybe ipod touch 4th gen will launch.

I bought my Ipod touch from mudah.my in mid April 2010, and the person who sold the item told me that the item is new and still under warranty. However when i asked him about the date of purchase, (for me to register my Ipod touch) he said the item is already registered. For all this while, i've been believe that my Ipod still under warranty, until i checked it from https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do just now and stated that my Ipod haven't been registered with Apple. So how could i resolve this problem? Or is it my last resort, leave it the warranty just like that? Or do i can call the Apple Store? Anybody have any idea how to resolve my problem?

When you grabbed the ipod touch from the seller, is it sealed or opened box?

"FaceTime on iPod touch makes it possible. FaceTime works right out of the box — just enter your Apple ID and email address. Or create a new email account just for FaceTime. Using FaceTime is as easy as it gets. Say you want to start a video call with your best friend over Wi-Fi. Just tap the FaceTime app and find her entry to start the call. An invitation pops up on her iPod touch or iPhone 4 screen asking if she wants to join you. When she accepts, FaceTime begins."

Is this means the Facetime like an instant messaging? But since it is using WiFi, what is the limitation of it?

Quite accurate. Placed my order on friday the 7th. Said it will arrived before the 12th. And it arrived on the 11th(today) all the way from CHINA.

I love Apple. <3

And it's actually cheaper than some of the lowyat sellers. Plus you get engraving too.

Customs everything will clear out for you. Just that not worth is to wait so long. By that time, you can see the iPods are all around already. -2cents thou.

Ok, just to clarify for everyone.

If you order through apple online store, get the engraved version (even though you don't really want to have anything engraved, just put your own initials or name or something) if you want to get it fast. You will get it within 6-7 days from the date you order.

If you order the non-engraved version, you will have to wait about 1 month.

This has been tried and tested.

Good news for those who's still thinking of order online from Apple store. The shipping time for both engraved and non-engraved version have been reduced to 1 business day.

Hey abesabraham,

Did you have to verify your purchase with the bank? i ordered my 32GB iPod Touch with engraving on sunday night 18/10. Apple sent me an email monday morning, asking me to email them my Credit card Statement. i replied to a idproof@apple.asia.com, since email sounds legit. Then i called my bank, they said the transaction has been approved. But til now no confirmation order from apple yet. : ( it states will delivery by 25th-29th. When did you get your confirmation order email? Did you do engraving?

Thanks in advance.

hey iPod owners,

sorry to ask this dumb question (i guess), me wanna buy the new iPod Touch...
but want to know in order for me to play video on the iPod Touch, can I just transfer my tv series and let it play on iPod Touch? (of course after i convert the video format)

MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 x 480 pixels ----> will the pixels cause any problem to the video that I wish to play??
or I can only play certain video on the iPod Touch?

Thanks

Hey guys,

My friend is selling me his 5.5th gen ipod video 80GB. He told me Apple replaces it with an exact same model but brand new for a fee of RM300.

Is that true? Do they still have stock? Or refurbished? The components inside are exactly the same?

Thanks!

No..it's iPod Video 5.5th gen(before they call it Classic and changed the DAC to some inferior chip). It's more than 2 years old..no warranty

Does Apple still offer this?:

yeah.. music.. with headphone of course.. you can buy the ones with mic so that you can enable skype calls.. voip calls. etc.. ipod 2g above supports mic.. vids i dont watch.. so no movie in my ipod.. just music purely.. and games..

actually.. you situation is similar to mine.huhuhu. gave my netbook to my bro... asus eeepc 4g.. and got myself an ipod.. better portablity i guess.. nothing bulky to bring around... plus i dont like the idea of having one device for all.. like a smart phone.. wifi drains batt alot and i absolutely dont want my phone to die on me when im on the go..

if my ipod batt dies.. i dont really care that much..

better relax yourself and think of it on a broader view.. you dont want to do something on impulse.. better wait then sorry bro.. the best is you look at reviews on ipod 4g vs ipod 3g.. at least you can decide better..

hey, looking to buy an ipod touch 4g.. but considering i run a fair bit i think it may not be such a good idea to run with the ipod touch, i heard the songs skip and the screen freezes and stuff like that. i heard that the nano is better, is it true? torn between the nano and ipod touch.. ipod touch has wayyy more features which can keep me entertained, but i would also like to run with an ipod. any suggestions?

When you go to the Apple online store, they will tell you the estimated shipping time. The iPod Touch's shipping time for example is '1-3 business days'.

However when I enquire about this to a sales person at Machines, he told me that between the time you confirm the order and the time you received it would be about 1 month, and not 1-3 days like many would perceive.

Is this true? I have never made an order to Apple for their products, but I certainly plan and look forward to doing so (the engraving looks very pretty!).

Also, can you set the time for the product to arrive, or you just have to sit and wait for the postman to ring your doorbell at any random time?

Hahahaha ... you really got played by the sales person huh. Why? Coz he/she wants you to purchase it there and not thru the Apple Online store.

If it says 1 - 3 business days then it will be within 1 - 3 business days unless it said otherwise. Business days means monday to friday so if you ordered on friday then the shipping starts on the following monday.

FYI ... engraved items will take longer ... i think 1 week because the item will be shipped from Apple factory in China instead from singapore (this region shipping hub) if you take the normal item without engraving.

And you can't set the time of delivery. Just wait for mr postman to arrive (you can check the package thru their package tracking website) or if you missed him then they will ask you to self collect at their centre.

Apple FAQ

According to that website, shipping time doesn't include delivery time.

So maybe shipping time is the time taken for the product to move from China to Malaysia, and delivery time is the time it takes from then to our doorstep?

I don't know, website looks quite confusing.

If you look at the website, it says that ship by is within Apple's control. Then when delivers by means the time it take for the delivery company to send it to you (if not mistaken by DHL). What they said ships by 1 - 3 business days is that they will take 1 - 3 days to prepare your order and send it to the delivery company where the delivery company will take x amount of day to deliver to you. If your stuff did not face any problem with customs then you will get your stuff within a week the most.

And if your read all the info in the website, you'll be notified by Apple that the item has been passed to the delivery company and you'll be given a tracking code to track your item.

Hope this clear things up for you.

@SKisaGooner,

Nope.
- Ship means to confirm your credentials, assign your order, and pack the product. (This takes place at the factory, in most cases Shanghai.) That is what the Apple Online Store quotes.
- Delivery means that the assigned order starts to move out from the shipping facility, and travels via DHL (most of the time) to the Malaysian customs, and when the order is cleared, it shall continue it's journey to your doorstep. (or wherever you assigned it to go)

This whole shipping thing depends on the product your order, the CTO options you put in (engraving, in this case), product availability, and most importantly luck.
My advice for shipping your iPod is: perform your order on a Sunday night. Usually if there isn't anything extra, it will always ship in time, and sometimes even earlier.
I had ordered my PRODUCT (RED) nano around 2 months ago, and the total time it took after i placed my order was 2 working days. The Online Store at that time quoted it as a week's shipping.
I had very good experiences on the shipping times and i'm sure that many forummers here have experienced it too.
Besides, at least you can look for that idiot who claimed it took a month and slap the freshly engraved iPod on his face. That should make your day smile.gif

Better slap that buggers face with the shoe than the iPod. Later get oil from his face on the freshly engrave iPod ... sayang laaaa. After slap with shoe then can show the iPod to his face.

Actually he claimed that customers had called him complaining about the long delivery/shipping time of the online store.

But thanks, very helpful indeed.

hi, need some advise here.

I am thinking of ordering my IPOD Touch online via the apple store, but I do not have a credit card.
The reason to buy online is because there is no apple reseller at my place.
So my question is, is it possible if I could do bank transfer to purchase and will it affect the shipping time? Cos i think i read somewhere that it will take longer/time and more problem incurred if we were to use bank transfer.

Just wanna make sure that my order is smooth and can get the item in less than a week smile.gif

Thanks in advance for your help/reply.
