Every Apple store has a Genius Bar where trained individuals are able to diagnose problems and perform some repairs. When an iTouch breaks, taking it to a Genius Bar will allow someone to pinpoint the problem and direct you to fixing it. Reservations are required and can be made online.
Apple Technical Support
A broken iTouch can also be addressed from home. Apple’s Online Service Assistant can help diagnose the most common problems that lead to a broken iTouch. Technical support can also be contacted over the phone, where it can be decided whether the device should be sent in for repair.
Warranties
All iPod Touches come with a limited warranty when purchased. This lasts for one year. If it breaks during the time because of a hardware problem it can be repaired for free, exchanged or refunded. This can be done at an Apple Store or over the phone with tech support. An optional AppleCare Protection Plan can be purchased to extend this warranty to two years.

Despite the apparent simplicity of an FM transmitter, different models do come with more or less features. Some FM transmitters such as the TuneLink Auto double as chargers for your audio devices. Some will also come with preset stations to transmit to while others will be able to transmit to any frequency assuming it is “open,” meaning that no other stations are broadcasting on said frequency.
Transmission Method
The way that the sounds are transmitted can vary between transmitters. This not only applies to the transmission between transmitter and radio, but also to the connection between the audio device and the transmitter. Many connect to an audio device’s headphone port, others act as docks for devices such as iPods, and still others like the aforementioned TuneLink Auto receive the audio through bluetooth.
Power
There are two main methods of powering the transmitter. Some will plug directly into the lighter socket of your car. Others, and usually smaller, transmitters will be powered by battery. Which is best depends entirely on the intended environment the transmitter will be used in.
