Can Anyone recommend local shops that replace Ipod batteries?

The swap-out should (typically) take only a minute or two to complete. It's extremely easy, but you must know what to look for or you could easily tear one of the contact ribbons connecting the battery or ports to the motherboard. In most cases you can save a LOT of money by purchasing a new battery from a reputable source such as 'Newegg'. Be sure to order the correct battery for your specific model. Opening the case by a non-Apple authorized servicer, voids any possible warrantee. Good luck

On the touch to change song or volume involves first unlocking . Apple service at the store seems very good .

My 4th Gen will only work {like the classic } if i set to never turn screen off & that setting drains the battery too fast

It locks and shuts off, but if you quickly press the home button twice, music options come up, and the lock screen has a camera button. _________________________ Dismiss whatever insults your own soul.

A good tip I got from my nephew-you can take a screen shot by pressing home and the on/off button at the same time. The picture automatically goes to your camera roll. _________________________ Dismiss whatever insults your own soul. Walt Whitman
