Battery bad, now draining my ipod!

I have the same battery problems as posted elsewhere by hundreds, now with my second battery. The first was replaced last summer.
Now I find that my macbook pro drains my ipod battery if I plug my touch into the macbook to recharge!
Does this sound like a larger hardware issue to any of you?

Most likely just the battery. Power can be drawn from attached, battery-containing USB devices if the computer is short on power.
Call AppleCare about a new battery, or purchase a replacement.

Ipod acts like battery's completely drained, but won't accept charge

Ok so, I've had my iPod nano for over five months now. I got it for Christmas 2008. The unit is telling me two different things: when its plugged into anything, it says the battery's fully charged, but when I unplug it, it says "battery low, connect to power source'. So basically my ipod's acting like the battery's completely drained, and when I try to charge it, it won't accept the charge, telling me its full up.
I've been trying everything I can think of to alleviate this problem. I even restored my ipod completely, and put all my music etc. back on. It didn't work.
So I'm thinking that maybe this is an internal problem... something with the battery.

Hi Wafflemonster,
Have you used your iPod with any 3rd-party accessories, like a car charger or dock?
Try resetting the iPod by toggling the Hold switch and then holding the Play/Pause and Menu buttons until you see the Apple logo, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
If the issue persists, try restoring the iPod from iTunes as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
If restoring the iPod does not resolve the issue, the iPod may need hardware repair. Make a reservation to have a Genius take a look at it or call AppleCare.

Is it not going to work again, or is ther something I can do? Please help.

I have the same problem, and my Ipod turned off (when I held the home and power button)
but then when I held down the home button (after turned off) nothing happened, the screen is still black.
Do you know what I should maybe do?
Thanks is advance

TS1372 I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen? Error code 1416, any help?

I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen? Error code 1416, any help?

When I did a Google search on "1416 error ipod 5th," there is some discussion that the earlier version of the logic board only accepted 30 and 60 GB drives (or words to that effect), but the later "5.5" version did allow larger capacity drives. If that info is true, the question is, do you have a compatible combination of logic board and hard drive?

My ipod got very low battery and now won't connect with itunes?

My ipod got an extremely low battery and now it won't connect to itunes or charge when connected with the usb. I had not trouble connecting before this

Let it charge for awhile.
Does the iPod show that it is charging?
After charging for at least an hour try resetting the iPod. Also see:

Ipod battery change now won't recognize

I changed my battery in my Ipod Nano 3rd gen. It still won't turn on, but iTunes now says "The iPod software update server coult not be contacted. the server does not support this version of iTunes"
I tried 2 different pcs now and still same message.
And ideas?????

The error message is likely a result of the Nano not being able to store enough juice to fully and properly boot up. Even if the battery wasn't working properly or shot, it would still be able to power up enough to apper in iTunes.

What have you figured out? Anything? What you show just shows a pretty quiet system except for firefox having a bunch of tabs open. You've got some page ins and outs so you maybe your'e hitting your HD with swap files more than what you think?
I think something like coconut battery app or something like it will tell you the charge cycles on the battery. How many do you have?
Lastly, are you using any extensions like ad blocker, or click to flash?

100% to 20% battery life in 3 hours iPod 5

I have iOS 7.0.3 and my iPod 5 battery life is draining really fast. It used to go from 100% to 20% in 10+ hours but now it does that in 3 hours!!! I've done all the "switch off this and that" and all that stuff. My brightness is on 0% for goodness sake!!!!!!! Why is it like this!?

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger. Do NOT use a computer's USB port. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

Sorry for my bad english. My ipod have a white screen and after few secondes somes lines appear

Sorry for my bad english. My ipod have a white screen and after few secondes somes lines appear.

- Try a reet:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next connect to computer and if it shows in iTunes restore the iPod.
- If the screen is still white, let the battery fully drain and charge for an hour.
- If still white screen it is time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
- If not, the try the reset and connect to iTunes and restore. Also try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

My battery is getting drained in two hours after getting hot. What's the solution?

My battery is getting drained in two hours after getting hot. What's the solution?

Do you mean your iPhone was exposed to high temperature and now the battey life is very short? If so, take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs check the battery and see if it needs to be replaced. Lithium-Ion batteries are very sensitive to high temperature so there may be damage to your battery if it got very hot.

Hiya. Since I upgraded to Firefox 36 my MacBook Air battery has been draining horrendously quickly. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Since I upgraded to Firefox 36 a few days ago my MacBook Air's battery has been draining at a horrendous rate when I've got Firefox open. For instance, just now when I'd not got Firefox open, my activity monitor told me I've got two hours usage, but as soon as I opened Firefox (even with not having a window open) my usage was instantly downgraded to about 50 minutes. I'm having to recharge the lappy every four hours, which is ridiculous - and wasn't happening until I installed the upgrade.
On top of that, since I installed the upgrade, Firefox has crashed at least once a day, which hasn't happened at all in the nine months I've had this MacBook Air.
This isn't like you guys! What's happened?

Hi Cathy, it is mysterious why Firefox is so busy. Often Firefox has cache maintenance and other tasks that make a lot of disk accesses, but they shouldn't run continuously.
Could you try operating Firefox in its Safe Mode for a while to see whether that makes any difference? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

I just recalibrated my battery and now cannot remove anything from my dock. Don't know if this has anything to do with it or not. I have moved it up the screen and held it and still returns to the dock. What now?

I do not know if this has anything to do with my problem or not. I just recalibrated my battery and now cannot remove anything from the dock. I have moved it half way up and held it and it just goes back to the dock. Will not let me even put it in the trash. I am new to the macbook so would you please help me?

There is NO calibration on a modern macbook
Battery calibration, battery memory, battery overcharging, battery training, …all these concepts are mostly holdovers from much older battery technology, and on older Apple portable Macbooks ranging from early nicads, NiMh and otherwise; and these practices do not apply to your lithium battery and its smart controllers.
Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and are not to be calibrated
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1490
There is no battery calibration with current Apple portable Macbooks with built-in batteries. Lithium batteries have essentially a 0-‘memory’, and all such calibration involve the estimations fed to the system controller on the SOC (state of charge) of the battery over long periods of time as the battery degrades. The software based battery controller knows the battery's characteristics, or SOC and adjusts itself. This is why there is both no need and purpose to periodically deeply drain your macbook battery, since it doesn’t affect the characteristics of the battery, and further still deep discharges are something you should not do on purpose to any lithium battery.

For the last 2 days, my battery has been draining rapidy. Anyone else having issues? How can I fix it.

I've had my iPhone 4S for over a year now and have had no issues. All of a sudden, two or three days ago, my battery has been draining rapidly. I am on IOS 6.01 and have been for about a month. I have now turned everything off, including iCloud backup. Appreciate knowing if anyone else is having sudden battery draining.

A rogue app can sometimes drain resources when it has a background process running. Usually this can be cleared with a simple soft reset. Have you tried that? If so, have you installed any new apps recently? You might want to try uninstalling the last new app or two you added to see if that makes any difference.

I'm having problem with my iphone4S first when i updated software to 7.1 after a month or so wifi turned grayed, second when i tried to turn off in the night as soon as i turn it on battery empty now its totaly dead. What should i do with it?

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.

I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

Battery bad, now draining my ipod!
