iPod Repair and Parts

iPods can be repaired in almost any case. Every part of a ipod can be easily exchanged with new parts that can be bought online within the USA. They are cheap and in most cases easy to install.

There are several places on the internet to get the repairs done. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.136.221.254 (talk • contribs) 21:13, April 14, 2008 (UTC)

Alternatively, iShopRepair in Toronto, Canada will upgrade or repair any iPod and provide a one year warranty. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peterdeignan (talk • contribs) 22:26, July 7, 2008 (UTC)

Title image

Does anyone else dislike it? I think it should be a picture of all 4 of the current generation iPod, not a random pic of older models brent (talk) 20:14, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

If you have a better image in mind, then please let us know. Please mention it here on the Talk page first though, so we can make sure it is something that we can get consensus on and isn't something that is going to be deleted. AlistairMcMillan (talk) 21:32, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

I dislike it too. I wish I had a better image though. Maybe the click wheel should be the default. Dylpickleh8 (talk) 02:46, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

It would be good if we could get an image of ALL ipods, as the current one is missing the latest ipod

GA Reassessment

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:IPod/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, listed below. I will check back in seven days. If these issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.

• There have been two requests for citation since March 2008

• There are two dead links.[1]

• A few sections are not adequately cited, for instance: Software, User interface, Connectivity, iTunes Store, Models, and File storage and transfer.

• I am concerned that the Criticism section has been tagged as a potential breach of npov since 8 September, with no apparent movement since then. By their very nature it is difficult to be neutral in a section devoted to criticism, and the material in this section would therefore be better integrated into the body of the article.

I have removed the Equalizer subsection, as it was stubby, contained two citation tags and added little to the article. Majoreditor (talk) 02:34, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

I have delisted the article. I see no reason for a community GAR. Geometry guy 10:10, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Old Version

I like the older version, with a picture and discription of each iPod model, not the picture with random older iPods.

I will try to fix it. Dylpickleh8 (talk) 19:13, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

160 Gigabyte iPod?

I don't believe there's a 160 gig iPod... If you look at the table showing the iPod generations it says in the capacity section, " 80, 120,160 ". I checked the Apple website and they do not say anything about a 160 gig, yet I search it with Google and I see results on Amazon, Ebay, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Uber-Awesomeness (talk • contribs) 18:49, 28 October 2008 (UTC) The 160gb iPod was discontinued. The highest capacity is back to 120gb.Dylpickleh8 (talk) 20:04, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Major Image problems

Hey guys, I was taking a look at this article and it really needs some help.... The Images are out of wack and are just wrong.

List of items needing to be fixed:

• First image (Noted already)
• 2 Missing Images in List of iPod Models (4th iPod Nano Model (FIXED) and 2nd iPod Touch Model)
• The 2nd iPod Mini Picture (Does not show the full iPod)
• Also the image of 2 iPod Chargers could be replaced with a better one, not neccesary.

Thats just my 5 Cents but at least that 2nd point NEEDS to be done....

Believe me I'd love better images, but copyright is always a problem.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 13:09, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I was under the impression that the 2nd iPod mini picture in the table was intentionally shown this way. The only real difference between the two mini models on the exterior is the color of the button labels and so a picture highlighting this difference was chosen so as not to have two seeminly identical pictures in a row.

Also, the iPod touch photos are just of the 2nd gen (according to the picture). I've replaced the first one with a 1g photo. ~ Paul^T+/_C 14:42, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't buy the 2G mini argument because the image is rotated and cropped oddly. If it was just the clickwheel--the whole clickwheel, upright--then maybe.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 15:26, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

If the clickwheel were upright, it would be hard to tell that it is a mini. The rotation allows for the detail of the colored labels to be highlighted while still being recognizeable and showing the rest of the iPod. Again, I'm just reiterating the original argument for the image. I'd link to it if I had the time to dig through the talk page archive. ~ Paul^T+/_C 17:26, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Names for each models

If my memory was correct,sub-names for each models always begins with lowercase(like classic,mini,nano or touch). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.3.77.7 (talk) 13:17, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Mistake

There is a mistake in the article, in the specifications of the 2nd generation ipod touch it says "iPhone OS 2.0" the version of the firmware of the 2nd gen ipod is 2.1.1 --White Hawk (talk) 07:02, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
