Bad to leave the nano always fully charged?
Is it a bad idea to leave my nano always fully charged? The reason I ask is because I sometimes go many days without using my nano. Should I leave it charged in the dock often?
This ir really a battery question, so what you might want to do is research how to best utilize Lithium ion batteries. Or go to www.iLounge.com and download their free iPod book. Lots of helpful hints including a section on batteries.
This question isn't limited to Li-on batteries either. Concerns with any rechargable will spark a comment or an out-right debate. Ultimately it's your call on the recommendations provided.

My ipod nano is fully charged (I believe) but every time i disconnect from the computer the screen just shuts down and nothing happens. Occasionally it might work but the battery is already as low as it can go and turns it self off. What should i do?
So the iPod only powers on when connected to an external power source such as a USB port on your PC or when connected to a wall charger? If so, that is a very good indication that your iPod's battery is shot and in need of replacement.
Apple can swap it out for a flat fee or you can send it to a third party repair service for a bit less.

Is it bad to always fully charge an iPhone 5?
I'm confused on how to charge an iPhone. I've been reading a lot of posts saying that always fully charging your iPhone 5 can shorten it's battery life span. Is that true?
No. Just use it how it best suits you.

Use iPhone Regularly
For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down). -
I work from my truck. I use my iPhone almost continuasly. Is it ok just to leave it plugged into the charger all day? So the battery is fully charged when I leave my truck.
Yes. Charging automatically stops when your battery is full, & you can't overcharge.

My ipod nano is fully charged, I put it on shuffle and the song starts, about 1 minute into the song the ipod shuts, I push the power button and it turns on to play screen I push play and song starts again where it was when it shut off. Can anyone help?
This is usually a good indication that your headphones aren't plugged all the way in. The white part of the headset should be flush with the body of the Nano and no silver from the headphone's plug should still be seen. The headphone jacks on the newer nanos are a bit tighter than in previous generations and require a bit of extra force.

Sometimes my iPad1 locks up and has the flat battery graphic after charging all night, but will not work until you disconnect the charger, then it reboots and the battery is fully charged and works normally.
It has only happened for the last month or so
Also, sometimes it drops out of apps, ie facebook etc. just like you have hit the stop buttonWho replaced the battery? If it wasn't Apple the replacement is probably bad also. Either that, or the logic board is bad.

My iPhone has started buzzing or beeping for unknown reasons. It seems to happen when the battery is fully charged as well.
you cannot overcharge the iPhone battery. You can leave it plugged in with a full charge for as long as you want. It will not affect the battery at all.

Does the battery charging in the macbook pro retina automatically cut off when the battery is fully charged? or does it continue charging?In which case,is it better for the battery life to switch off the power supply or leave it on while using the macbook?
Yes, and the pilot light on the MagSafe2 connector changes from orange to green. If you unplug, you will start draining the battery again, whereas if plugged the Mac will take power from the brick and leave the battery in a charged state.

Hi! I'm just having a little trouble when it comes to battery charging of my iPhone 5 with its new iOS 7! It doesn't indicates that the battery is fully charge unlike the old version of iOS! I already read some reviews and discussion about this. They said that the lightning bolt should pulsate when charging but it's not!
Thanks for the replies. It took a while not hearing anything so thought I was alone. I have done many of the suggestions already. The key here is that it occurs on both phones with apps, and phones still packaged in a box.
A Genius Bar supervisor also checked his Verizon data usage log and found the same 6 hour incremental use. Suprisingly, he did not express much intrigue over that. Maybe he did, but did not show it.
I think the 6 hour incremental usage is the main issue here. I spoke with Verizon (again) and they confirmed that all they do is log exactly when the phone connected to the tower and used data. The time it records is when the usage started. I also found out that the time recorded is GMT.
What is using data, unsolicited, every 6 hours?
Why does it change?
Why does it only happen on the iPhone 5 series and not the 4?
Since no one from Apple seems to be chiming in on this, and I have not received the promised calls from Apple tech support that the Genius Bar staff said I was suppose to receive, it is starting to feel like something is being swept under the rug.
I woke up the other day with another thought ... What application would use such large amounts of data? Well ... music, video, sound and pictures of course. Well ... what would someone set automatically that is of any use to them? hmmm ... video, pictures, sound. Is the iPhone 5 succeptible to snooping? Can an app be buried in the IOS that automatically turns on video and sound recording, and send it somewhere ... every 6 hours? Chilling. I noted that the smallest data usage is during the night when nothing is going on, then it peaks during the day. The Genius Bar tech and I looked at each other when I drew this sine wave graph on the log print outs during an appointment ... -
