My iPod touch won't hold a charge since 1.1.3 update

After the 1.1.3 update, I purchased the iPhone apps for my iPod touch and also added 6 webpage addresses to my home screen. There is two pages on my homescreen. I also added two email accounts, one using yahoo, and one using msn, going through izymail. since the update, my iPod won't hold a charge at all. I haven't really used it yet, but once or twice during the day I check my mail, and other than that it is off. They battery constantly drains, If it is full, it will lose batter life in about a day, just sitting on my night stand turned off. No music or videos are left playing. Is something with the update or my iPod, can I fix it? Oh, I change it from an apple usb wall charger, and I got my iPod at christmas.
Thanks

You say your turning it off does that mean you are holding in the sleep button and sliding the unit off or does it mean you are just locking the unit with the screen off?
If you have the Wifi enabled and only have the IPT in standby mode then this is why it's depleting the battery so quickly. Charge the unit till it's full with the little plug showing and then eject it and turn off wifi and leave the unit in standby overnight and see if the battery depletes at all.
I've noticed that Wifi really ***** the life out of the battery very quickly so give it a try and report back to us.

    my ipod touch won't hold a charge and gets really hot when im using it. what is going on?

    Likely that the battery is dead.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm. Apple will replace the battery for this price:

  • IPod Touch does not hold a charge

    I had a 3rd generation iPod Touch that would hold a charge for a long time until suddenly (just before the warranty ran out) it would no longer hold the charge.  I could fully charge it and leave it sit unused for about 3 days and it would be dead.  After much tech support from Apple (we tried restoring original settings, removing all apps, etc., etc., etc.), they sent me a replacement.  The replacement has had the same issue since day 1.  I have now been experimenting with other settings and it seemed to hold the charge a little better when the wifi was turned off, but I always used to leave the wifi on and it didn't drain the battery at all.  What is going on??

    The recent iOSs for iPods allow the iPod to do more when the iPod is asleep.  I just leave my Ipod in airplane mode when I am not using it.  My 4G go excellent batter life with the original iOS (4.1 I think).  I could just let it sleep with wifi one.  However, wtih the resent iOSs, the batteyr would almost completly drain overnight.

  • 3rd generation iPod touch won't turn on, charge, or be recognised by itunes

    My 3rd generation ipod touch won't charge or turn on. I keep charging it, but it show the exremely low battery screen. It also flashes the apple logo like it's turning on, but it just stays on that screen or flashes and goes away. It won't connect to itunes. I've tried holding the power button and home button at the same time to get it into recovery mode, but it doesn't work. I don't know what else to do.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Brand new ipod shuffles won't hold a charge

    I've bought and returned 2 ipod 4th generation shuffles because they won't hold a charge for more than 1.5 hrs after I charged them overnight. Those were brand new ipods and I use them for the gym. Why aren't they holding a charge? Has anyone else had these problems? They are supposed to have a long battery charge.  I don't want to keep buying and returning ipod shuffles. My other ipod shuffles haven't lasted long either. The battery quality is very low. I might try a 3rd shot but I'm very frustrated. 
    Can anyone recommend another brand other than Apple?
    Thanks

    When you are excercising with the Shuffle do you have it protected with a moisture resistant sleeve or case?  If not, there is a good possibility that moisture is making its way into the Shuffle and deteriotating its internal components including the battery.
    You could test this out, by replacing the Shuffle a third time, charging it over night, and then seeing how long it lasts on a full charge without using it for exercise.

  • HT1384 iPod touch won't hold charge

    iPod touch, 1yr old, doesn't hold charge when not in use for couple days.  Is it possible that something is running in the background and
    If so how would I check?

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order
    To extend battery life see:
    Apple - Batteries - iPod
    It is not unusual for the an iPod left in sleep mode with wifi on to discharge fully in a day or so.

  • IPod Touch won't connect or charge AT ALL.

    I can't connect my iPod touch to ANY computer AT ALL. This includes Windows Xp, Vista and an iMac with Leopard. They are all running iTunes 7.6.2. I have tried all protocols I've come by so far none have worked. The iPod simply won't connect.
    The iPod turns on when it is plugged in but after the home screen comes up nothing happens. No charging, syncing or any type of connection. iTunes and the OS don't acknowledge any type of USB device, even in the Device Manager. Apparently it tries since it powers up when plugged in but thats the extent of the connection. I haven't found any other persons with a scenario like this, please help.

    I know you've tried it with other computers, but have you tried it with a different cable? Also have you tried resetting the Touch while it is connected? (Hold down the sleep and go buttons, ignore the power off screen and let go when you see the Apple logo).
    If you get the same results after trying this you need to either make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store or send it in for service: http://www.apple.com/support/oss/

  • My 4th gen Ipod Touch won't turn on/charge?

    I have the 4th Gen Ipod touch. I was using it after it had been saying 20% battery remaining for awhile. I locked the screen, then I tryed to press the power button again to unlock it but it wouldn't work. I automatically assumed it had died completely so I tried plugging it in to charge. Even after letting it sit for a while it will not charge or turn on. I tried plugging it into a computer to charge as well, but my computer still wouldn't pick up on it. I tried the usual "hold down power button and home button at the same time for a few seconds" thing, but that was useless because my home button barely works. I cannot plug the ipod into a computer to restore it anyway, because my stuff isn't backed up and I am on iOS 4.something (as the original computer i had my iTunes on stopped working, so I havent been able to update it) so I will lose all my photos and music (I didn't purchase all my music from the itunes store). Does anybody have any suggestions? I tried calling Apple but Im out of warranty so they wouldn't help me, and theres only one Apple store in my state (and its nearly 4 hours away) so I'm basically screwed, right?

  • 2G iPod Touch won't synch or charge with computer.

    I have a 2nd gen. iPod Touch and when i plug it into my computer it won't recognize it, charge it, or synch it. The only thing that happens when you plug it in is the computer makes 3 fast, same pitched tones. It's kind of like when you would normally plug it in and it makes those two tones. Anyway, so I thought maybe it was the cord so I got another chord and it didn't make a difference. I reinstalled iTunes and it made no difference. I restarted, and then restored my iPod and tried it again and it didn't work. I made sure it was fully charged too, to no avail. Finally I plugged in my iPod Video and it was recognized by the computer immediately so I know that it's a problem with the iPod touch. But the iPod Touch still works with my iHome. I have no idea what it could be. Does anyone know what the problem is?

    Actually you are in a better position than some are with this problem. I would back up my iTunes library and then remove it completely from my computer. Use the info in this article to remove iTunes:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Then download the latest copy of iTunes and install that. That generally will fix it.

  • 80gb IPOD Video won't hold a charge.

    Ok so I finally decided to get a 80gb for myself to use on a trip to amsterdam. I ordered it at the end of july, get it on the 30th. I decided on the 5th generation because of the battery life.
    I have it for a week and notice that it is not holding a charge. Friday before last I charge it all day and then I wake up on sunday and it is 100% dead. I called tech support and they informed there was nothing wrong with my IPOD, I jsut wasn't charging it correctly.
    Ok, fine. I charge it all day sunday from 2pm till 11pm. I wake up tuesday to go to work to find it dead again. I called tech support again and they informed me I needed it replaced. So I go to the closet apple store, an hour and half away, to exchange it for a new one. They can't exchange it because I had it engraved.
    I spend the next hour and half on the way back talking to tech support again to get it fixed. They finally send me a box, last thursday I mail it off and I get a email today stating NOTHING is wrong with my IPOD and they are sending the original back.
    I wanted this IPOD for the battery life, 20 hours for music, 6 hours for movies, yet I can barely keep my charged a day with it off. Let alone on. So any one here have any ideas or did I blow almost 400 bux on junk?

    Hey, I understand fully what your talking about as ipod batteries as a well discussed topic nowadays.
    First off, there should be no reason why your battery is acting up like that after only a week (shouldn't even be doing that after a month). Apple should be able to send you a new one.
    I had this similar issue with my apple laptop battery and they sent me a brand new one because it wasn't holding a charge.
    But aside from that here are some helpful battery tips you should know and apply. Let me know if you have charged you ipod in this manner when you first got it.
    1. when you first purchase an ipod you should let it charge for 4 hrs or until it says battery charged
    2. you should completely drain the battery the first 3-4 times of use to program the internal memory in the battery (many people do not do this and wonder why there battery acts up. This is so important because you are basically telling the battery what is an empty and full charge. The battery will never know if you starting charging it at 50% full for ex.)
    once that's done for the first 3-4 times you can do as you want
    3. you should not leave your battery plugged in for more than 5hrs. I know some will say that the battery just stops charging after it's full but actually, it continues to give it unessesary power and thus limiting it's battery life. The memory and components inside tend to overheat also and that doesn't help the ipod either.
    Once you follow these battery protocols you will notice that the battery life in consistent to what apple claims (given that you aren't always manually fast forwarding, shipping songs and selecting artists all the time as this causes the hard drive to spin every time. The 20hr battery life is measured if you just let the ipod play the whole library without touching it.
    I hope that helps. Some helpful things people should know about charging batteries but don't because apple barely gives any information in there instruction booklets (trying to save paper or something i dunno)
    Cheers,
    Dorian

  • My ipod touch isn't holding a charge

    My ipod touch 4th gen hasn''t been holding a charge lately. I've checked my settings- brightness, wifi, push, and such- and nothing. It drains very easily and it didn't used to before. Any suggestions?

    Likely the battery is just wearing out. How long does a full chrge last and what is the iPod doing during that time?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                     
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
