Update on iPod Settlement

I wish I got an email

Thanks though!

 

Thank you so much for posting that info.

Just curious, were you anxious about your claim and thus went out of your way to email this rep? Or did you just happen to get an email?

 

has the date passed to send in your claim... cause money towards a new ipod would be nice

 

Excellent news, Zeve-- I was just wondering about this.

Since I replaced the battery in my 3G 15 GB iPod myself (not a difficult task with the right tools) I opted for the $50 gift card.

Now the question is what to spend it on....

 

Once again, thank you so much mrzeve for doing the grunt work and finding out more info for the rest of us. I'm excited because I also elected to get a battery replacement (way I figured, if I really wanted money from the iPod I could always sell it).

Question: How do you find your claim number?! How did you reference your claim; was your name and address enough?

 

I think the deadline was 31 August. My 3G was eligible; however, you had to certify that you made a good faith effort to perform the test: "fully charged, with headphones, in on shuffle-- did you get less than 4 hours." I got about 5; so I was not eligible. Of course, if you ever access the hard drive any (changing songs or playlists) you get way less than 4 hours. Oh well.

 

Okay so I called in...

Get this, the original letter they mailed me did not have my last name... sooo, my claim has to be faxed in. No fax at my place. Sigh. So much trouble!

So I am on file but, my file has to be amended to show my last name as well. Thank you so much, mrzeve!!! If it wasn't for you and this thread, I might not have ever found out why my claim went ignored!

 

so i called them and they do have my claim form. i asked the guy when they are going to be sending stuff (vouchers or replacements) and he said they have said to start mailing stuff in january. so i guess we have to wait until next year.

 

iPod Settlement

Thanks for the info on the battery settlement. I have been searching for information with no luck until I found MacRumors. I tried calling Apple and visiting their web site but that didn't help. Such a good feeling when finally finding an answer to what I thought should have been easy info to find but wasn't.

The iPod is my son's. I understand from what you wrote that he (having opted for the new battery) will have to send his current iPod back to be replaced. He is actually very happy with the model he has; he just wanted a new battery to replace the one that never held a charge for very long. Thanks again.

 

Is it just me or should they just get this over with. Seems like they'd save alot more money and energy by just settling up now. I don't know who they're trying to fool.

 

Did you read that Apple is claiming they didn't file the appeal? Has there been any news on that?

 

Girard Gibbs say that "two individuals" filed the appeal but haven't named them.

 

nano batteries

oops wrong thead

 

It's about freekin' time. This probably means that it's going to be only another 2-3 months before I can expect a check.

 

Seems like my $50 Apple Store credit will come just in time for MWSF purchases.

 

I just called to get status... "The settlement is finalized, shipments are scheduled for Febuary 28th"

 

no way! does anyone know how they will do it? My broken ipod is at home and my mom is away for the winter, while i'm at college! Will they send a box to put the broken one in or what?
