It’s been a long while since you have gotten your iPod, and maybe you feel its time to ask around about replacement iPod batteries. Maybe you have noticed several battery issues already, and think that battery replacement is the solution.
Apple itself offers an iPod Battery Replacement Program. If your iPod’s battery does not hold electrical charge as well as it used to, or in other words if its battery life has shortened, but is otherwise unharmed, Apple can replace the iPod. There is a service fee of $59, plus $6.95 for shipping.
This option is of course the most reliable choice for battery replacement. The iPod itself is replaced with a new, used, or refurbished unit. The service may not be available; however, if your existing unit has been exposed to accident or abuse and has been damaged because of these.
Availing of this service is easy if you have access to the internet. On the Apple support website, you will find an iPod service request form. After checking and reading the terms and conditions, on-screen instructions will be available to guide you through the rest of the steps in getting your iPod’s battery replaced.
The data and music on the iPod will not be preserved, so it would be best to back the iPod up using iTunes on your computer before submitting it for service. The replacement iPod usually ships back in a week or so - or in two to three weeks if the original iPod had been personalized by Apple (the replacement unit will automatically be personalized with the same text).
Third party replacement batteries are also available. These are usually cheaper than having your iPod replaced by Apple. As mentioned before, if the iPod has been damaged by accident or abuse it may not be eligible for the official Apple service program anymore. These third party solutions would be the only choice in that case.
The iPod’s case was not designed to be opened by users, but these third party batteries usually come with tools and detailed instructions for doing just that. Less tech-savvy users may want to stay away from the do-it-yourself battery replacement options: saving some tens of dollars is well and good, but what if you’re tinkering costs you the iPod itself?
These users might want to inquire about the unofficial services available that would replace their iPods’ batteries for them, at about two-thirds of Apple’s price. These services also usually do not replace the actual iPod unit, but only the battery, unlike Apple’s service.
Whether you have Apple replace your iPod battery (and your iPod itself) or purchase instead replacement iPod batteries from a third party manufacturer, good care will prolong the life of your new batteries. Guides to the proper charging and use of these batteries are available in Apple’s own support documentation, as well as in other places on the internet.

iPod Shuffle Review
They say great things almost always come in very small packages. Thus, the iPod shuffle is one small gadget that is worth all the giant sized music players combined. Indeed, the common trend when it comes to portable music player is that quality and usability improves as size reduces.
Who in the past had ever thought that there would be a device as well accepted all throughout the world like the iPod shuffle? Perhaps, people in the past generations would truly be envious of this generation. Look at the many perks and products that modern and sophisticated technology is offering to the public.
What makes the iPod shuffle truly irresistible? Well, its features are so amazing. First of all, the packaging is so minimal but stylistic. The length of the gadget is at 1.62 inches. Weight is very light at half an ounce, making the iPod shuffle easy to carry along no matter where you go, no matter what time it is.
The iPod shuffle can be easily clipped to your bag, your belt or your pants without any hassle. Instant access to quality MP3 music is made even more possible by the miniscule devices’ expanded memory capacity of 1 gigabyte. Thus, you could save about 240 songs to the iPod shuffle’s memory and play the songs readily whenever needed.
On top of the significant memory capacity is the stylish design of the phone. Due to rising global demand, the iPod shuffle comes in many stylish colors like orange, blue, green, pink and silver. Thus, anyone could just simply sit around and be star struck by the beauty of the gadget. There are colors to suit your mood and there are replaceable cases so you could change color of your iPod shuffle based on your overall mood.
You can easily download good and superior quality music files through the iTunes music store, which has been established by manufacturer Apple Computer Inc specifically for its many lines of different generation iPods. Such a music store is so ideal and supportive of the struggling global music industry, amid threats of piracy and stealing of intellectual properties.
The battery is also replaceable, meaning, after a specified period, there is an imperative need for a new set of batteries, which can be accessed through the market. Many battery makers are also producing batteries that are so efficient, they can be better than the original sets of batteries.
The iPod shuffle is truly one fantastic gadget that deserves all types of applause. If you are considering purchasing a music player, defy the rules and go for the iPod shuffle instead. There is so much going on with this beautiful device.
