Engrave Your iPod

Want to make your new iPod your own? You can engrave any model of a new iPod — iPod shuffle, iPod nano, and iPod. Personalized laser engraving is only available on the Apple Online Store. Engraving is not offered for refurbished iPods.

After you select your iPod from the Apple Online Store, you will be offered the option to enter up to two lines of text for iPod nano or iPod, and one line of text for iPod shuffle. As you type, you’ll see an image of what your text will look like on the iPod pictured on the right of the page. The text will be engraved near the top, on the back of the iPod, just like it appears on the image.

Please make sure that everything is spelled correctly, as your engraved iPod can’t be returned. You may wish to review our Terms and Conditions. You may be able to make changes to the engraved text or cancel your item if the online Self Service indicates that your iPod has “Not yet shipped.” See the Viewing & Changing Orders section of online Help for details.

Refurbished Products

Refurbishment Process

Each Apple Certified Refurbished Product:

• is refurbished with replacement parts for any defective modules identified in testing
• is thoroughly cleaned and inspected
• is repackaged (including appropriate manuals, cables, new boxes, etc.)
• includes the operating software originally shipped with the unit and the custom software offered with that system
• is given a new refurbished part number and serial number
• is placed into a final QA inspection prior to being added to sellable refurbished stock

Refurbishment procedures follow the same basic technical guidelines as Apple's Finished Goods testing procedures.
