If the iPod is out of warranty, Apple will replace the hard drive in the iPod or iPod mini models for about the cost of a new iPod, and consequently, such a replacement tends to not be cost-effective. However, third-party services also are available, and these can frequently replace the stock drive with a larger one for less than the cost of a new iPod. Alternately, if you have the technical skill, you could purchase a replacement hard drive and install it yourself.

If the iPod is out of warranty, Apple will replace the battery in your iPod or iPod shuffle for US$59. A variety of third-party services are also available.

Most hard disk producers compute disk mass this method: 1 MB = 1 million bytes. A 5 GB hard disk, as a result, is one that grips 5 billion bytes. Computers, as well as the Macintosh and iPod, gauge disk mass this method: 1 MB = 1,048,576 bytes. The disparity in these two computations is what causes the disk to come into view as 4.6 GB or 9.2 GB on a computer, but in fact be a 5-billion byte or 10-billion byte hard disk. For larger iPods multiply 4.6 by the real augment in mass e.g.

I am very impressed at the small preview of this and though it does seem to have some compromises from the touch screen, I”m sold for one basic reason. Its actually useable. Tactile feedback? The touch screen gets rid of that and more. I also rid myself of the feedback from the Verizon people telling me how much money I have to pay to buy music, trade photos or get a phone with email on my phone that never ends up working as advertised.
