Hi
The harddisk of my iPod classic is probably broken. Can I bring my iPod classic to the next Apple store in order to repair/refurbish it?
Thanks for telling me!
iPod classic 160GB (Late 2009), iOS 7.1
You can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store to have them look at the device and evaluate it. The decision on what to do is up to Apple.
Do you know the companies that can repair them? I had an old one that wasn't working and then but a refurbished one from China on ebay that was recently stolen out of my car. I can't afford to buy a new one and am trying to get my old one to work..
Thanks Chris
yes, I intend to do that. But I am not sure, if Apple repairs devices like the iPod classic?
It is possible they can, but that call is theirs. No one here would be able to truly answer that. Since the classic has been discontinued, it may come down to whether the Apple Store you visit has parts or replacement devices.
Hi,
I recently took my ipod classic 7th gen 120gb into an apple store, they took a look at it and instantly noticed something had gone wrong with the hard drive and needle bit. I asked them if they were able to fix it and they said no, as my ipod was a vintage model they couldn't replace nor fix my ipod. The only thing they could offer was 10% discount off another new ipod which i was very disappointed about! I loved my ipod classic for the months that i had it but it is a shame that they suffer with so many problems and that apple wasn't able to fix mine.
Very disappointed in apple.

I had always assumed that when the iPod Classic was discontinued it would be replaced with something better. (256GB Flash and a Lightning connector.) I was wrong.
My problem is like many others, Apple makes NO portable device that will store my 150 GB of music. (Their competition does.) Even an iPhone 6 only has 128GB, Max. So, what Apple could do in 2009, they CANNOT do in 2015.
Nicely express your concerns to Apple using the links below. They will be read.

I believe it may still be possible to get replacement hard drives to fit in the iPod classic, and there are also some SSDs that will fit. There are companies that will supply the parts for you to do the swap out byourself, or will do the work for an additional fee.

You'll have to search yourself. I don't have any personal recommendations to give.
