2006 iPod Photo Battery is Dying, Replacement Problem

Hello, I bought iPod Photo in 2006 and note that the battery is about to die recently. However the condition of her is still very "fit". I just want to replace a new battery for her. Can Apple do it for me? And how about the fee. Thanks for looking and good day!

The battery will not charge eithger. I have left it in a computer and ab outlet charger both for 1 hour, but no juice is going to the iPod. Is the cord dead? Or is the battery messed up? What is going on?

My iPod touch battery is dying when fully turned off.

I have had an iPod touch 5th generation for about 2 months and it's worked perfect until a couple days ago. The battery started dying even though I fully turned off my iPod. I fully turn off my iPod touch yet with a fully charged battery over night my iPod will be almost be dead when I turn it back on in the morning. Also when in sleep mode and no wifi being used my battery will still die within a 8 hour period of time but in these same circumstances a week ago my battery would only decrease about 10% max. What's wrong with my iPod? Can it be fixed? If not, how do I get a new new one replaced?

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. You have a defective iPod. If not abused, Apple will exchange it at no cost

IPod Photo battery life & re-charging

I bought a 60GB iPod Photo solely to upload photos from my digital camera on an overseas trip. When transferring photos I can see the green battery symbol drain in front of my eyes! Then it takes 12-15 hours to recharge, making it useless in time for the next day's batch. Is this normal? What can be done? I understand Apple's advice is that re-charging should take 5-6 hours.

My iPod touch battery is dying really fast?

These past couple days my iPod battery has been dying fast! I don't have much on my ipod.. I have 299 songs, 3 internet apps (Youtube, FB, & iFunny), 5 Games (Temple Run, Solitaire, Jewelz, Angry Birds and fruit Ninja) Plus the required apps that I have to have on there. Oh, I also have 40 photos.. roughly.
But anyway, even when I leave the iPod alone the battery runs down! Like, this morning I woke some up with my iPod dead when I went to bed the battery was half full. I restored it, I deleted some songs on my ipod, i deleted some apps, and I decreased my brightness. Why is my iPod dying fast?
I got the ipod in October and never had battery problems before with any iPods that I have owned.

When not using the iPod, turn airplane mode on. WHen sleeping the iPod can do things and if it tries and connects to wifi it can discharge overnight.

How long does it take for an iPod touch battery to die without even using it?

Asking because my itouch 4g has been stuck on a black screen and not able to turn off when pressing the power button. It's been 24 hours since it happened to the ipod. I've left it unattended on my table during that time period to which i have checked a couple of times to just see where and if the battery went down at all. At first the battery didn't seem like it went down at all since last night but recently it looked like it went down a bit from nearly being all the way charged to half/almost under half battery now. I was just wondering approximately how long it usually takes for it to die all the way down? I figured 24 hours but it doesn't seem like that since it didn't at in the time period since yesterday evening and night.

My iPod is back to working now. It took about 2 and a half days for the brain to drain and die. Thanks for the answer and help.

Battery Issue with iPod Photo - Battery confusion?

is anyone aware of a problem called battery confusion?
my iPod which I am sure had a reasonable bit of battery life on it now appears to be demanding I connect to the mains power. A logo of a "plug and a scocket" indicating the need to connect to the mains is permanantly on my ipod screen.
I have done a soft reset on the device, got the Apple logo but when it repowers it will not get past this "plug and socket" image on the screen.
Normaly I charge my iPod with the usb cable on the PC however this does not seem to do anything and my iPod charger is at my parents house miles away.
Any help with this would be apreciated

The iOS 4 is probably the issue and there isn't much you can do about it.

My Ipod touch battery life depreciating, and it seems to coincide with my earphones no longer registering

Hello,
I have had a few iPod's over the last couple of years, and well I am starting to get bored of exchanging/purchasing a new one because of what seems like a reoccuring problem. My iPod's battery is dying... it no longer lasts a day even without use (I have taken off extra apps-I just have what came with my iPod on my phone, my bluetooth is disabled). This has happened to me before, I had reset my iPod. Reuploaded it from my back up as well as return it to manufaturers defaults and sync'd it as a brand new iPod and this has not helped. (Initially I thought maybe I had a corrupted file on there).
I had taken my iPod into the Genius Bar, told me to do the manufaturers reset, even had an ipod exchanged. I was told that doing mini charges would 'teach' the battery that it was empty before it truly was. So I stopped using a car charger, I now use my iPod and let it die before I charge it once again, or at least have it below the 20% battery life before I will plug it in. And yet the problem still persists. I know I have time to take it in and have it looked over, but I'm tired of the same issue.
This issue seems to come along with an issue with my earphones. I use the Skullcandy 50/50 ear buds that have been working on my iPod for months now. And yesterday I had been listening to my iPod in the car using the AUX port, have my iPod volume all the way up and my speakers down. Typically when I take out the AUX port cord and replace them with my earphones the iPod would change the volume level to what I was listening to last with earphones. But now it isn't doing that, and the controls for the pause, volume, skip/rewind no longer work.
The Apple staff have been very kind to me, but as a customer I am getting tired of having to deal with this. I am just at my wits ends as this would be my 3rd iPod... so I think that it's me causing this but what could I possibly be doing to create this?

- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If defective and not abused Apple will experience it with a refurbished one since it should be within the one-year warranty.

Can no longer sync photos to my iPod Photo

Without any change in hardware, but AFTER installing iTunes 7 via Software Update, I can no longer sync photos to my iPod. (I have had no problems syncing music, pictures, contacts and calendars since purchasing an iMac G5 "iSight" 15 months ago.)
Music appears to sync correctly, as do calendars and contacts. But after trying to sync photos, iTunes stops with the following message: "The iPod 'my iPod' could not be synced. The required file cannot be found."
I have Restored my iPod and attempted to sync, but receive the same message.
I REPLACED my iPod's hard drive! Upon syncing, I receive the same message.
I deleted iPhoto Library/iPod photo cache folder and was then able to sync photos to iPod, BUT upon reopening iPhoto, and a forced reindex (?) of pictures resulted in about 1/3 missing.
After restoring the iPhoto Library from a backup, syncing the iPod results in the same original error. Deselecting syncing photos in iTunes removes photos from iPod, but upon syncing, same error message.
Restoring iPod again, results in same error message.
Does anyone have a solution? What required file is missing?

iBook G4 1Ghz/iMac G5 iSight Mac OS X (10.4.3) iPod Photo 40GB

I too had a problem. iTunes wouldn't sync any photos nor list my iPhoto Albums.
I created a second iPhoto library and then added some photos and created several albums to see if iTunes could see the new iPhoto library. It did see the new library. I then started to add photos to it. I finally found the offending files - 4 .avi files - that for some reason when added to the library caused iTunes to balk. I removed the files and all is well. I even have other .avi files in the original library and iTunes responds normally - just those 4 caused the problem.

Ipod photo won't mount to itunes - please help me! i'm desperate!

Hey everyone,
Thanks in advance to whomever reads this and answers... I've been fighting with my ipod for over 12hrs now (over 3 days) and am VERY frustrated!
here are my details:
20 gig ipod photo
Windows XP
itunes 7
Problem:
itunes told me it needed to be restored. So, I went through the process, but when I plugged it back into the computer (after plugging it into the wall socket), I found that it won't mount in itunes! BUT, I can see it in Windows explorer.
Have tried:
- changing disk drive
- uninstall, reinstall, reinstalling from CD (with old version)
- restore (when it was coming up in itunes)
- different usb ports
- fiddling with resets and disk mode
Things to note:
- in Windows Explorer it now comes up as IPOD instead of VANESSA'S IPOD. I don't know why!
- when I plug it into the computer it seems completely happy - it's charged, is flashing the do not disconnect... everything normal! And, when it's not plugged in, I'm able to browse through the menus like normal - the only problem really appears to be that itunes won't recognise it.
I kind of feel like I've been trying a lot of different things, and maybe not in the right order? It feels like something really small that I'm missing...
If you have any ideas or suggestions, please please PLEASE let me know... as I said, I'm desperate...
cheers

the system files of your iPod get corrupted, thats why you get the folder exclmation marks.
see the following helps
Hello,
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.

C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

Impossible problem with iPod Photo

Ok, so here's the kick:
I joined this forum because I cannot find a solution to this problem whatsoever. I have an iPod Photo that has been sitting in a drawer for about 2 years. I just got a new car stereo and I wanted to fix my old iPod instead of buying a new one. Besides, all I want is the music playback. The original problem with the iPod was the hard drive. It made the usual "clicking" noise everyone has heard at least once, so my first goal was to change the hard drive. I ordered a 30GB Toshiba Drive that fits exactly for my iPod. Actually, it upgraded it's old 20GB one without occupying any additional space. While I was at it, I also ordered a new battery, since I was pretty sure 2 years ago the battery already had problems, and it couldn't have gone better with the years.
So, first package arrives: Hard Drive.
I replaced the hard drive and connected the iPod to my computer. Yay! No more noises! But, for some reason, the iPod cannot connect to my computer. Here's what happens:
I connect the iPod
iPod turns on
Apple Logo appears
Exclamation Folder or Sad iPod icon appears (normal, since I just changed the hard drive and there are no iPod Software files)
After a few mins, the "Do not disconnect" message appears, and my computer starts to connect with the iPod
Not even 30 seconds later, the iPod completly restarts. The screens flashes off like it ran out of battery.
So, I though, maybe it was the battery. So, 2nd package arrives: Battery.
I changed the battery and I'm still having the same problem. Here are some steps I've taken:
1. Put iPod in Disk Mode and connect: Computer doesn't recognizes it, iPod restarts after 45 secs approx
2. Charge iPod: iPod wont charge in any outlet. It will just try to start and, since it will fail due to the lack of software, it will just turn off. I tried putting the iPod in Disk Mode and then charging it, and it did work. I left it charging for about 30 mins and retried connecting it, and I had the same problem/results
3. Put old Hard Drive back: just for the heck of it
I sincerely have NO IDEA of what to do, and I haven't been able to find any help on Google nor any other forum.
Does someone, ANYONE, has a suggestion?
Thanks in advance!

I, too, have this exact same problem after trying to use my daughter's IPod Photo 30GB that she abandoned about 2yrs ago. I've replaced the battery but this does not make any difference. I managed to get it into Disk Mode but when I try to restore it on the pc, it cannot see it. I also tried someone's suggestion of using a Mac but it made no difference.
Someone also suggested rebooting the hard drive using the reset button inside. However, have opened the IPod up and can't see a reset button anywhere on the hard drive. Have seen photos of hard drives in other IPods and it is really easy to find!
All I want to do is restore the IPod, there must be someone out there who can help. PLEASE?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Constant low battery with 3rd replacement 5G ipod

I am really getting frustrated with my ipod. My first one went dead, they sent me a replacement ipod, which had harddrive issues.. sent me a third one, that one had the same problem... they sent me a 4th one which I got now, and with this one I got the following issue:
At first I thought the battery was bad. I don't hear the hard drive spinning excessively, nor does the ipod get hot. The battery drains really fast - is at about half after listening to 14 songs, without skipping and the backlight timer completely off.
After talking to the Apple support line, they suggested I restore it to its' factory settings... ok, did that... right after that, after I loaded my stuff back on the ipod, I checked it out - the battery worked perfectly - after 2 hours of music, the battery did not show even one slight bit of a drain. I thought the problem was fixed for good.
Well, the next day the battery started acting up again, same as before. Although it might help to mention that it performed perfectly as I was listening to music with the backlight timer off, and as soon as I went into my photos folder while listening to music, I could hear the hard drive spinning up, and the battery went from full to almost an instant half charge.
It's happened several times now that the battery was at like half a charge and I left it over night, and in the morning the battery was totally empty.
Since the battery has performed perfectly once so far, could it be something else than a bad battery?
In some post I've read that the battery needs to actually go through several weeks of recharges until it works at it's best. Is this true? Can I expect mine to work better soon here? (I've had it for like 4 weeks now and it's gone through several cycles). Although I never had any such issues with my very first ipod, the battery worked perfectly right from the start.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

It is a bad battery. No battery is EVER that bad during the break in period. By the break in period they basically mean that after so many charges your battery life will be optimal. Your battery life should never be like 2 hours. Definatly something to call apple about again.

IPod touch Battery Problems Since iOS 7 was installed last year.

Hello, I've had recurring battery problems with my iPod touch since the iOS 7 update was installed, and I find myself having to charge my iPod touch (5th Generation) a lot more frequently since I installed this update.
On iOS 6, I had never experienced any problems with the iPod touch's battery, as I was able to let the battery drain down completely, and let it charge for 4 hours (recommended). After the iPod touch was fully charged for 4 whole hours, I was able to unplug the lightning cable, and the iPod touch on its own would last a few days to at least a week or two weeks.
On iOS 7, since it saw its general release on the 18th September last year, I have found that the iPod's battery has drained so bad, that it dies too quickly, and when I put the iPod touch on charge, in almost an hour, the iPod touch tells me that it is 100% charged. However, when I take the iPod touch off its charge after it fully charges for that hour, it quickly drains down again.
I have gone through the standard procedure of restoring my iPod touch to its factory settings, and I have seen absolutely no improvement on the battery life whatsoever. I mainly back up whatever is on my iPod touch (I back up pictures, videos and also transfer updates that I have installed for certain apps onto iTunes), though I have seen how some people have backed up the data on their iPod's or iPhones, only they find their iDevice draining so quickly.
Even turning off certain features in the Settings app to improve the battery life doesn't help, as there is almost no difference that solves the problems I'm currently having with the iPod touch's battery.
I recently heard about the free iPhone battery replacement program which is now available, so I'm starting to worry whether I have to pay for a new replacement battery for my iPod touch.
Your help in this matter would be gratefully appreciated.
Many kind regards,
Alex Smithson

I mainly charge the iPod touch itself for four hours and it still doesn't make a difference. I've had my iPod touch for almost 2 years and since I installed iOS 7, it still doesn't make a difference.
I was wondering, if the article you have provided doesn't sort the problems with the battery out, is there another alternative??
Your help and advice is most appreciated.
Many kind regards,
