80gb ipod wont hold a charge properly!!!!!
my ipod is 2 weeks old, and the battery drains too fast - it's 80gb. i watch an hour and half long movie and the battery was already half empty. another time, it was fully charged and i was listening to music and watching a tv show, i fell asleep for five hours to find the battery completely dead and i had to re-charge it. do i have to calibrate the battery? i did it once but somebody said you have to do it a couple times before a new ipod holds a charge. i got it from Best Buy, should i exchange it for a new ipod? i had another video ipod, and i dont recall it ever being like this.
Try these.
My iPod won't turn on.
My iPod has no power.
My iPod won't wake up.
iPod battery doesn't charge.
Frankly, as this iPod is brand new, I would be returning it for either an exchange or a refund.

I haven't used it in a couple of years. So I plugged it in to charhe. It looks like it has charged, but as soon as I unplug it , the screen goes dark.
It sounds like the battery is shot and in need of replacement, especially considering it hasn't been used in a couple of years.
If you wish to replace the iPod's battery you have 3 options.
1. Send it in to be serviced by Apple for a flat fee.
2. Send it into a third party repair company instead (much cheaper).
3. Purchase a new battery and replace it yourself.

Everything working fine and then all of sudden it wont hold a charge
- Turned everything off - wifi, bluetooth, locatione etc
- still wont hold charge for than 3 hours ( no talking even .Joe - Pretty much all of my media is either ripped or downloaded through itunes. I don't use any file sharing sites. I'm going to have to go through and delete the few things I do have that I don't remember the source.
Now this is interesting. I went and picked up my ipod tonight, and talked to the guy at the apple store. He said that since the ipod's been through two test cycles, the problem must be in my playlist. He told me that in testing they completely wipe the ipod and load it with test songs to see how long playback lasts. I got it home and turned it on, and it has all my old stuff on it. Is that normal? I figured it would just be wiped. And to this point it seems to be holding a charge, which makes no sense if the problem was with my files because they're all still on there. Very confused. I'm going to leave it another day without syncing it to see what happens, it really doesn't make any sense. -
What do i do if my ipod wont turn on, charge, or connect to itunes
what do i do if my ipod wont turn on, charge, or connect to itunes
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

i have an iphone 3gs the old battery was useless so i replaced it with a new battery but it wont hold a charge now it used to charge to old battery but would just turned off if disconnected to its not the dock connecter any advice
Advice:
1. Learn to use punctuation and sentence structure - your post makes little sense.
2. I'm getting the idea you now want to use your old "useless" battery. Why, if it's useless? -
Battery died, wont hold a charge. After fully charging battery, battery loses all power in 2 hours. Is this indicative of a battery gone bad or something else? Will I lose data if battery completely dies?
Hi, thanks for the reply.
Yes I have done the reset-didn't work.
Yeh, the calibration was done so the phone turned off, then plugged back in to charge back to 100%!
The iphone4s was connected to the charger outlet, the second I unplugged the phone the battery percentage went from 100% to 98%.
AS we speak my phone is now on 100%, after 10 mins usage and 33 minutes standby. This just doesn't correlate with the decrease in battery life associated with every other number (e.g 99,98,97%) apart from when it is on 100%. -

I believe it's probably more worth it upgrading your device but that's my opinion.

My 80gb ipod classic is dead! It wont power on, it wont restore, it constantly beeps and shows the apple logo then my laptop says ipod in recovery mode, may have to restore. I read all the other problems and they are similar to mine but have not found anyone saying the screen does not power on except to show logo and do not disconnect. The annoying beeping sound stops after a while, then absolutely nothing! Is the battery removable, what do I do?
I did that and then tried to log onto the Itunes again and a prompt came up and siad the Itunes file wasn't properly installed and it might be corrupted and I should retry it again.
Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
Can you launch your iTunes now? -
My Ipod Touch Won't Charge Properly and My Laptop doesn't recognize it.
Everything was fine until this morning.
I was charging my iPod Touch while my daughter and I were playing with it. Since I have to do some errands, I removed the charger even though the battery was not yet full. I did played a bit, even took some photos. After an hour or so I decided to plug in the charger again. I was waiting for the BEEP sound it does whenever it charges, but it didn't make any beep sound nor the battery display didn't turned green. I tried plugging it on my laptop, and my laptop just gives me a message saying it doesn't recognize the device. So I went to borrow my mom's speaker (she have an iPhone and charges it using a speaker for iPhones/iPods since her own charger is broken), it still doesn't charge but when I play music on my pod, the speaker reads it. So I tried turning off then turning on my iPod, same thing happens, still not charging. So I asked my brother about it, he said I should try pressing the home button and power button for 10 secs til the Apple logo appears while charger is plugged. So I did, then VOILA... the much awaited BEEP sound and the green battery.. IT IS CHARGING!!!... so I left it for like two hours, expecting the battery would be full (waiting for the plug icon on the battery)... but all I got is like a 99% green. So I left it charging for 10 more minutes. Still the same after ten minutes, and gave it another ten minutes, still the same again. So I unplugged the charger and replug it again... I went back to NO BEEP, NO GREEN BATTERY CHARGING SIGN. I did the hold for ten seconds home and power button til the Apple logo appears, there goes again the beep and the green battery. I checked it again... it seems like I need to do the ten seconds home and power button press every time I plug in the charger.
Now I tried it on my laptop, same troubleshoot, but this time, it didn't give a beep sound nor a green battery sign. My laptop still doesn't recognize the device. I dunno what to do. Please help me. It's really frustrating me. I tried looking for answers online but only got the same troubleshooting I did.I tried this just now, my iPod did showed a

How do I get my iPod touch 4g to charge properly?
I have a 4g iPod touch. It rarely charges properly meaning when I plug it into the wall to charge, the battery image and the noise that accompanies it doesn't occur except for when it wants to. I can't connect to iTunes to transfer files or anything like that. I got it replaced under warranty so I'm sure it's refurbished. Also when I plug it into a computer it says the device has malfunctioned when it hasn't. Is there anything that can be done about this?
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
