5th gen. battery doesnt hold a charge

ipod nano 5th gen doesnt hold a charge

This works:
Make sure your iPod is completely flat.
Then charge it fully. (zero to 100% non-stop)
When it goes flat again, leave it alone for a few days.
Then charge it fully again.
Do this a couple of times
This kind of gives the battery a boost.
Hope this helps

  • Battery doesnt hold a charge

    My blackberry curve 9360 wont hold a charge for more then 6-8 hours now. I have taken the battery out and the sim card and restarted it several times but it still wont hold a charge for more then 6-8 hours.
    Is there anything else i can do to fix this issue? I really dont want to have to switch to another phone

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    IF your usage patterns haven't changed, consider that perhaps your battery may be losing it's lifespan...they do not last forever. You can test by trading batteries with someone else and see how things go.
    If your usage patterns, installed apps, and other things have indeed changed, then perhaps those are the reason for the higher battery drain.
    Good luck!

  • IPod Touch (5th Gen) Battery Won't Hold Charge

    After the last update my iPod Touch 5th Gen will not hold a charge. I haven't had any problems with it until this 8.1.1 update. Yesterday I charged the battery up to full charge and  used it briefly to listen to music in my car however here it is the next day and the battery is dead again. It is NOT playing while not in my car. Meaning nothing should be running the battery down because it's not being used.  I know it's not playing because the volume is set to half way so I'd undoubtedly hear it if it was playing.  It just won't hold a charge and for no apparent reason. Any suggestions?

    - 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.

  • Why is my battery not holding a charged now that I have ios7 on my iPhone 4

    Why is my battery not holding a charged now that I have ios7 on my iPhone 4

    The same is happening to me on my 4 and 4S... Before the software update my battery used to hold up to 1 day for both 4 and 4S. Now I have to charge twice a day the iPhone 4 and three times a day the 4S. Apple should really fix it... I hope they release a new update for iPhone 4 and 4S users...

    Can you play the song in iTunes?
    If you can't the song file is probably corrupt and needs to be replaced.

  • Brand-new iPod Touch 5th gen often freezes win7 while charging

    Hi,
    I've had a new iPod touch 5th gen for about two weeks now.
    I also have a laptop that runs Win7, that has had no problems whatsoever until now, and that has no problems when the iPod isn't plugged in.
    Here's what happens:
    I plug in the iPod Touch to update files and recharge the battery
    All goes well, iTunes sees iPod, battery's charging
    Lalala
    Bam! Some 15-30min later:
    Laptop freezes over.
    I have had to manually shut down the laptop more than a dozen times in a couple weeks now.
    The iPod is killing the laptop dead. Slowly, but surely, it's happening.
    I love my laptop. I NEED my laptop. I otherwise love the iPod too
    This happens whether the iPod is ejected, but still charging, or not; whether iTunes is on or not
    I unplug the iPod: nothing; laptop still dead.
    Sometimes, it happens when I change songs, as I simultaneously listen to the iPod while it charges.
    Other times, it happens while fiddling with playlists and tag infos in iTunes. (<-- I am particularly weary of this one, since, it seems to me, the iPod takes a few good seconds to access tag infos/change songs, much longer than, for instance, did my iPod Nano 5th gen, though, understandably, that one did not have an OS)
    Other times, it just happens suddenly, with no apparent cause other than that the iPod is plugged in.
    Could it be the cable? (any way to find that out without investing in a new cable? )
    The iPod runs iOS 6.1.3; the laptop runs iTunes 11.0.5.5.
    The laptop is equipped with a fairly new SSD, no HDD [does that matter?!]
    Any help/ideas to get these two to get along would be greatly appreciated !! Thanks.

    If yo mean the iPod freeze and does some things when charging. other users have experienced that problem. However. I have not seen a reply concerning the resolution.

  • 5th Gen always thinks it's charging

    Howdy folks.
    I have a 30gb black 5th gen video iPod. Whenever I disconnect it from my computer (which I am doing correctly), the little battery icon on the iPod will switch to the non charging icon. Great. However, 30 seconds later, it switches back to the charging icon. The iPod won't go to sleep like this, and it just burns through the battery until it gets to the "very low battery error".
    It's a pain. Anybody have a fix for this?

    have you tried a restore? seems to be the #1 solution posted for everything iPod, but sounds worth a try in this case. report back if it doesn't fix the problem.

  • 5th Gen Snycs but doesn't charge.

    So I've read tons and tons of threads about similar issues but so far haven't come across anything that was really of help. When I plug my ipod (5th gen) into my computer it is instantly recognized as a mass storage device and pops right up on itunes. It works as intended and I'm able to access it and sync it just fine. The problem comes with charging. I recently purchased a new computer and decided to just restore my ipod and re-sync all my music. The problem is that it isn't charging and runs out of battery before it can finish resulting in messed up data. I never had problems with it charging on my old computer and it also charges fine on my roommate's computer.. just not mine.
    If I go into the Device Manager from System Properties in XP and go down to the USB Controllers, I can see that it is indeed 2.0 and powered. When I click on the different USB Root Hubs and click the Power tab, I can see where it says "Total power available: 500 mA per port" and down below where it shows what is connected and how much power it needs. I can plug in a mouse and it shows it requiring 98 mA or my keyboard which pops up as requiring 300 mA. This tells me that the ports are supplying the necessary power without any problems. Also when I plugged my ipod into my roommate's computer it pops up as requiring 500 mA and seems to charge as normal. All this seems fine but when I plug my ipod into my computer, nothing pops up at all in the Attached devices list for the Root Hub.
    I hope all that makes sense like that and if I can clarify anything, please let me know. Thank you.

    Hmm, upon further investigation my problem has changed. Apparently it is getting power. It seems my logic was flawed. What I was doing was plugging in my extra mouse and then finding the USB Root Hub where it popped up.. then disconnecting the mouse and plugging the iPod into the same port expecting it to pop up only it didn't.. it appears under a different Root Hub. Even in the same port, the mouse appears under the 2nd one down the list and the iPod under the 6th one. Odd. So it says there it is getting power after all. I guess I was just looking into my problem in the wrong spot.
    It still seems like it is having a charge-while-syncing issue though. I've read that syncing/hd access is hard on the battery but shouldn't the 500 mA from the USB be enough to keep up the charge while transferring music? I think for now I'm just going to manually transfer a handful of songs at a time while plugging it into the wall to charge up between sessions. Doesn't sound fun but I'd like to be done with it.

  • IPod Nano 5th Gen Battery

    I just have a question that i'm hoping someone could answer. I purchased an iPod nano 5th gen about two weeks ago. Anyway when I first charged it, I left it on my computer (laptop) for about 2hours (Thought this was enough). I was unsure about how long to charge it for. I have a couple of questions:
    If I didn't charge it for long enough the first time, how does this effect the battery?
    I also heard you are supposed to completely let the battery die the first time to get complete life out of it.
    How do you know when the iPod is completely charged? Does it say it on the screen?

    It doesn't.

    This won't really effect battery life too much. However it is a good idea to do from time to time to reset the calibration of the little battery indicator on the screen which can get out of whack with lots of little top offs. Letting it run until it shuts off then completely recharging and get that indicator to be a bit more accurate.
    How do you know when the iPod is completely charged? Does it say it on the screen?
    You won't know unless you let it charge for a long time. When the charging symbol changes from the actively charging icon (lightening bolt) to the AC Plug symbol to indicate it is charges, it typically does this at about 80% charge. It then continues to trickle charge up to 100%.

  • IPod 5th Gen Battery Dying Quickly!?!

    I have a U2 Special Edtn 5th Gen iPod Video.
    I have calibrated the battery correctly. Anyways, my iPod was completely charged. I plugged it into the TV to watch a movie. I didn't get 2 hours and it was dead. In previous experiences my battery would last for almost double the suggested movie playing time because the lcd isn't in use when playing to the TV. I would get at LEAST through a movie or two.
    Also, after listening to music one night for about an hour or two the battery was down to about 50%.
    Sound like my battery is getting toasted?

    Unfortunately taking it back to the store is not really an option given that I bought it in Orlando, FLA, and am now in Edinburgh, Scotland!
    It does charge fully and when playing music the battery doesn't seem to go down any quicker than it should. Its when I go to play it again after it being off for 24 hours and find the battery is flat that I can't understand??
    You think its definitely defective? I will try a few things out before I consider returning it to Apple as that would be an almighty hassle I suspect?

  • My Nano 5th g battery was dead, I charged and it play fine but all written material ie play list, music, albums, etc. are backwards.  Help please.  Tx  Tom

    My Nano 5th g battery was dead. After charged play fine but all written content in menus and songs is backwards.Help please.

    Try resetting the Nano first to see if that helps. To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If the issue persists, connect the iPod to your iTunes library and restore it to factory settings.
