Am I able to reset the battery of an iPod Touch 5G myself?

Am I able to reset the battery of an iPod Touch 5G myself? Because my battery is doing strange. When I put it in a computer it says 'charging off'. When I put it in a charger it is normally charging but when I take it out, it says 20% battery life remaining. I put it in the charger the whole night but I don't know what's wrong. But after it says 20% it turns off (of course) but when I turn it on, the battery is 100%! I didn't even put it in a charger! And then the same story begins. over and over.

Hey Ron61, Don't know about resetting the battery, but you can do a reset of the iPod. Start with a soft reset. Press and hold the power and home buttons together, until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds+/-) then release both buttons. If no joy, then go into Settings>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If that does my work try allowing your iPod to drain down until it turns off, then charge at least 4 hours. Also try a different cable, the lighting cables have a history of failing / shorting out. And inspect your charging port on the iPod for foreign debris or damage. If still not joy, make a full set of backups of everything on this iPod to your computer then try to Restore for Backup or last resort Restore to New. If none of the above work, contact your Apple store or Apple Genius Bar and have your iPod evaluated for possible hardware issue. Bring you cable alone also. Good luck. Cheers.

    Thanks for answer

    If you go to Apple, they will not replace your battery, but exchange your iPod for a refurbished iPod of the same model with a new battery.  Therefore you will lose everything that is not backed up.  If you change it yourself or have a third party change it, you will most likely not lose anything (but still best to make a backup as lllaass suggested).

    Connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. This erases the iPod. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.

  • I am aware that apple does not replace the battery for my ipod touch 4th generation, but I wanted to know if i purchase a replacement battery, can they recommend someone to replace the battery for me?

    I have a ipod touch 4th generation, 32gb, purchased at least 3 years ago.  It will not hold a charge, so I would like to purchase a replacement battery.  Can the apple store recommend someone to install the battery for me once I purchase it from them?

    That would depend entirely on what you do with it and how much you use it.

  • Changed the battery in my ipod touch.  now the only thing it does is shows the apple logo.  tried the resets,  tried to go through itunes.  computer doesnt recognize its plugged up

    i just installed a new battery into my wifes ipod touch.  after charging it all night,  all it will do is show the apple logo.  ive tried reseting,  ive tried going through itunes.  doesnt respond to either. the computer doesnt even reconize that its hooked up.  please help me.

    Try:

    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • The battery in my iPod touch runs out very fast, why?

    My ipod's battery does not last very long. If I leave it unpluged for a half day it's already dead even though nothing seems to be running.

  • Mifi 4510 and not being able to use the internet with my Ipod touch

    My mifi 4510 will not allow my iPod Touch to connect to the internet.  In settings it sees my device and for about 2 seconds a dot will appear of the screen of the mifi4510.  The dot goes away and it keeps searching endlessly to connect to my iPod Touch.  I have talked to the first level of tech support and they tell me that the iPhone and iPad are compatible with the 4510, but not the iTouch.  I can take my iTouch to any other wireless network, enter the key and the network will connect flawlessly to my device.  First level of tech support also asked if I had the latest updates to my iPod Touch  The answer is yes.  If in fact Verizon is blocking the iPod Touch from going out onto the internet, can anyone give me the rationale as to why this would be true.

    Hello,
    I am not aware of any limitations on the MiFi that would back up Verizon's story.  If the device is Wi-Fi compatible then it should be able to connect to the MiFi 4510L.  The only reason why a device might not be able to connect would be due to wireless passwords not matching or the MiFi broadcasting in a mode which is incompatible with that device.
    Here are some quick suggestions which may help:
    Change the 802.11/Wireless Mode
    1. Navigate to http://mifi.admin
    2. Enter "admin" in the textbox in the upper right hand corner
    3. Click the Wi-Fi tab
    4. Change the 802.11 mode from B+G+N to B+G
    5. Click Apply
    6. Test your connection
    Remove the Wireless password
    1. Navigate to http://mifi.admin
    2. Enter "admin" in the textbox in the upper right hand corner
    3. Click the WiFi tab
    4. Change your Selected Profile to Open Access
    5. Click Apply
    6. Test your connection

  • Why does the battery on my ipod touch drain so fast?

    I barely have an hour of battery life using my ipod touch.  I will only be listening to music and all of a sudden there is no battery left.  What can I do to fix this?

    Make sure things like wi-fi, bluetooth, and location services are turned off. Also, if you listen with the screen on, battery drains faster, so you should always sleep the iPod when using it for music.
    Hope this helps!

  • Can I go to an Apple store to replace the battery of my iPod touch 4th Generation without a proof-purchase or if I brought it somewhere else?

    I have an iPod touch 4th Generation that needs battery replacement after 2 years of use. Can I go to an Apple Store in my area to get my battery replaced? I brought the iPod in another store. Do I need a proof-of-purchase or it is too late due to the way past of Apple's warranty or I can't due to not officially not purchasing the iPod touch at the Apple Store? I welcome your feedback. Thank you!
