  • IPod not holding its charge

    I have had my iPod colour 60gb model for just over a month now and all of a sudden the battery is not holding its charge. It is literally going from full to empty in minutes. Anyone else experienced this?

    I had a similar problem with a mini, (no not the car, the ipod!) and did a reset and then it held the charge next time.

  • 7th Gen NANO ipod not holding a charge

    My Nano will hold a partial charge lasting 2hrs play time.  This occurs even with wall charger or  USB connection.  I have tried resetting to factory defaults.  Anyone one have any idea(s)?

    Hello there DOC045,
    It sounds to me like you've done all the troubleshooting you can for this issue where your iPod doesn't hold a charge. I would next have to recommend you have your iPod nano serviced:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • IPod not holding a charge

    My fourth generation iPod touch does not register when I plug it in to charge or when I try to sync it to iTunes. I haven't dropped it, and it has not been damaged in any way, and it isn't even a year old. Could there be a manufacturing problem? Will apple fix it for no charge since I haven't done anything to damage it?

    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.

  • My laptop got wet - battery icon now has a X inside and it is not holding any charge at all, anyone else dealt with this scenario?

    The battery is not detected, so it means that the battery or the battery connector are not working, which is a serious problem.
    Turn off your MacBook and take it to an Apple Store or reseller. It will be an expensive repair if your logic board has to be replaced. Read > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5511

  • MY new Ipod Nano does not hold a charge.  I use it mostly as a watch, perhaps look at it 5 or 6 times in 8 hours, and leave it in sleep mode the rest of the time.  I drains to the red line in less than 2 days.  My husband's nano will last a week this way.

    You are still under warranty if your iPod is "new."  Take full advantage of it by either calling iPod tech support, Apple Care if you have it or take it in to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • IPad does not hold a charge. Anyone know why?

    My ipad does not hold a charge.  I charged it yesterday and didnt use it at all today plus I even shut it down all the way not just sleep. 

    I doubt that anyone here, with the limited knowledge of how you actually use your device, could ever do more than hazard a guess. Your power adapter is bad and not charging properly .... It is possible that the battery indicator is giving you an incorrect reading and that the iPad has more battery power left than it shows on the meter, but if it shuts down on its own after less than say - 6 hours - on a full charge - then something is wrong.

    You could try a hard reset and see if that helps at all.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • After being dropped in water my Ipod will only work when hooked up to the computer or docking station.  It will not hold a charge.  What do I need to do?

    My son dropped his Ipod in some water, we put in a bag of rice overnight and it works fine when connected to the computer or docking statioon but it will not hold its charge once it is off the cable & not hooked up, so he cannot listen to it unhooked..  Any suggestions on what to do?  Thanks!!

    Take it to an Apple store. Most likely you will have to get a replacement for which you will be charged the replacement fee.
    Rice only absorbs water. But it cannot prevent damage to the device.

  • IPhone4 will not hold a charge - This is my 3rd iPhone having this problem

    Hi all -
    I appreciate any help you can provide as I'm stuck and don't know what else to do.
    Last September just before the iPhone4S was released, I purchased my very first iPhone which was a iPhone4.
    About 3 months after owning my iPhone, the battery drained really fast.
    I took the phone to the Apple store and they ran a thousands tests. Restores, backups, test for water damage, etc. etc.
    They issued me a "new iPhone4".
    about 4 months after that, the same thing happened to my phone (now my 2nd iPhone4).
    LONG STORY SHORT - we did the same tests, several trips to the Apple store.
    They said that because I plugged my phone in to my car radio, the radio pushed out too many amps and that drianed my battery.
    I denied that and said that wasn't possiable, but OK, my bad. I won't use my iPhone with my car radio.
    so they issued me ANOTHER "new" iPhone4 (now my 3rd & current one).
    THIS TIME I MADE URE TO CHARGE MY PHONE CAREFULLY.
    i've had this phone since July.
    as with my first 2 phones, I've only used the original charger that came with my iPhone and have only plugged it in to the same oulet that my wife uses for her 4s (she has no issues). Here I am 3 months later, and AGAIN my iPhone drains fast and can not hold a charge.
    after being at 100% battery life, I unplug it. Check emails, twitter and espn occasionally and within an hour i'm under 20% battery life.
    Can anyone PLEASE help me? Am I doing something wrong?
    I don't want to restore all my apps and things again. I don't ant a "new" phone. I just ant to keep this phone and have it retain a normal battery cycle.
    PleaseHelp - Thank you

    bring it into Apple for battery diagnostics.
