I feel it is fairly safe, the quality of the product should be accurate to the description. You're paying what you think the item is worth. Some people have the ability to repair these devices so partially damaged items may be for sale. Just be thorough and take your time to read all the information about the product and you should be ok. :)

Do your research and make sure the seller with a good track record (customer reviews) and their description indicates the condition of the product.

Depends on where you're buying it, if it is a friend I think theres no problem. If it is from a seller here at Amazon the best thing you can do is check his reputation.

It's not just compatible with iPhones and iPods if you have an auxiliary cord it can be used with any smartphone or device that has a headset plug. I've used 4 different types of phones besides an iPhone and they have all worked and the iPod nano has the same headset plug for auxiliary cords so you should be fine. Just plug the auxiliary cord into your headset jack on your iPod and into the back of your iHome and your set!

I can't say. THe one I did have I only had it for a year and it started going out on me. After awhile I saved up and got myself a iPod Classic in black. I have used this everyday for almost 3 years and it's working alot better then my Sony ever did. For me the iPod is alot better then the Sony ever was for my needs. Thanks but I wouldn't recamend this to anyone after the problems I went though

You don't want to run with any of the bigger iPods anyway - the hard drive inside is very delicate and the constant jarring while running can damage the iPod. Nano doesn't have the internal HD, so it can withstand the pounding. I have a 60GB video iPod and it's already starting to suffer the effects of my 15-20 mi/week running schedule.

Best advice is to buy from Amazon. While Amazon is very good at removing "scammers" it is still a good idea to buy from reputable sources or companies that you know. Also a good idea to avoid anyone who requires you to pay return postage or restocking fees if you return a mislabeled product. Read all return policies The problem I had was with a company that sold actual beats but misrepresented the specific model. but of course beats seemed to have hundreds of models! Not sure how it will work under Apple.

Hello Susana, Thanks for your interest! We are only reselling this used item, so we are not 100% sure about the answer to this question. However, Apple should know, so we recommend you contact them directly about this. Have a great day!

No. Please make sure to buy a new one if you are looking for a new one. Do not buy a used one and think it is new.

As long as its from Amazon or a big name vendor. Stay away from used like new, they ended up being fakes.

Hello Lindsay, Don't feel bad about not knowing anything about these electronic devices, if you don't you use them you would have no reason to know anything about them. Let me start by addressing the question at hand of playing games. The version that you have selected, the nano, does not have any games available for it. This version of an ipod would not work for what you need. That being said, the version that you would need will need to have these things in its description or even title, "TOUCH." This means it'd be for a version of ipod that you operate by touching the screen the same as you would with a smart phone. Also, you would need one that is any of the following Generations. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 7th. The best way to look at these is like cars. Each year the newest model will come out and it just improves on the previous years model. For an Ipod, what that generally means is more storage space on the device and they tend to get smaller and sleeker. These devices do not come with the games. To actually get games on the device, you will need to download from the itunes store online. Remember you do not want a Nano, and it has to be a "touch" version of the generations that we mentioned. We hope this helps and please feel free to ask any other questions!

make sure that you buy a new unit, not one of the older or refurbished ones - the newest units include a spacer adapter for the 30GB and 60GB iPod Video as well as a spacer for the Nano, and the spacers included in the prior packaging (mini, etc)

Just ask them. Apple's products shouldn't have any problems, and the same warranty is given no matter where you buy the iPod touch, as long as it is an Apple Authorized Retailer. I'd trust Amazon with you purchase. And there's almost no learning curve pass 5 minutes. Especially with the touch, it should be very simple.

I had a nano 2nd generation until recently when I upgraded to the classic 120. The nano and I had good times and I consireded keeping it for the gym and what not. BUt I love my music so much and my taste varies from hour to hour that I would rather keep the classic with me at all times with my entire music collection and create several playlists within it than keep my nano and not have everything I want at any given moment. So the nano will be inherited by my mom this Christmas. Yep, thats right, some seriously early "Christmas shopping" ;-)

I have not had problems with my ipod nano or my nexus 4. It is important to note I rarely use them on anything other than my nano. I use them daily for that purpose and have logged hundreds of miles with zero issues. I would buy another of these in a heartbeat.

An iPod would be great if they lasted more than 18 mths (after your warranty conveniently expires). My second just died, and something about buying a device I know will die and can only be fixed for >/= to replacement cost leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Thus, I just bought the Ceative Zen V, my Creative Labs Rio may not be compatible with any computer but 8 years later its still running.

Yes ... but , if your car has a USB port then I would suggest getting a flash/thumb drive and using them in place of an iPod Classic. Much less money for a flash/thumb drive and it will withstand extreme temperatures that will affect the hard drive based iPod Classic. I have a few 64 GB flash drives used for my car that cost $40 each , one iPod Classic is now around $480 (if new) and $200 for a used one. This is what you get with a new iPod Classic http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA591G/C/apple-30-pin-to-usb-cable

It depends on when it was manufactured. Buy it new and you'll be fine. Buy it used and you'll have to check. Typically they're good for 3-5 years from purchase.
