I would say that you could try to go to a laser engraving business and try to have them change it. Either maybe they can erase it or maybe they can try something like change an "i" into an "l". Hope it works for you!

"I meant contact them and tell them you spelt the words you wanted engraved wrong"

That's not the first time you've advocated cheating Apple here on the Forums. You don't think that the Forum Hosts may be reading your posts?

Cheating them? How is it cheating when the person that ordered the engraving accidentally told apple the wrong spelling of the words he or she wanted on the iPod. Surly they'd understand and change the engraving free of charge or for a small price.

Well I'm not trying to get this person to "cheat" apple. But if it was a mistake by the person requesting the engraving. Then I would have thought apple would understand and change the engraving. But I guess not.

you may not be able to get rid of the engraving but at a lot of stores they sell things that stick on your ipod, once on you can't tell that there was engrving there

sure, just how you can wash away dry cement.

The only way to change the engraving is to call apple and see if they can change it if you send it in.

I contacted them and they said no way they know of. I thought someone here may have heard of a creative way to try.

I meant contact them and tell them you spelt the words you wanted engraved wrong and you were wondering if that if you send it in to them if they would fix the engraving.

Once engraved, it cannot be corrected no matter how you word it to Apple.

End of.
