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.

Am I doing something incorrectly to cause this short battery life?

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.

Most times i am not within range of a wi-fi connection if there something i can add to my ipod touch to access the internet from afar?

Hello Most times I am not within range of a wi-fi connection is there something i can add to my ipod touch to connect to the internet ?

You can purchase a MiFi or similar device. It acts like a wifi hotspot and connects to the internet via a cellular connection. You need a data plane too.

Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.

Battery life seems short or the battery does not hold a charge, seems to drain quickly or does not last as long as expected.

IMPORTANT Notes while charging your Reader device:
It is recommended to charge the Reader using the supplied AC Adapter. When using the AC adapter to charge your Reader device, the lightning bolt symbol that appears next to the battery icon [FIG. 1] on the display of your Reader device is an indication that it is connected to AC power and is charging the battery properly. If the lightning bolt symbol is not present, double check the AC Adapter to ensure that your Reader device is properly connected. This symbol does not appear while charging via a USB connection.
If you charge via a USB connection and leave your Reader Digital Book connected to the computer to charge and the computer goes into sleep/hibernation, charging will stop and the red charge indicator on the Reader will turn off. If left connected, your battery may begin to discharge. To avoid this, turn off any sleep/hibernation settings while charging or set your sleep or hibernation settings to come on after your Reader Digital Book has been charged and then disconnect it from the computer once charging has completed.
It will take approximately 4 hours to achieve a full charge with a computer. It will take approximately 2 hours to achieve a full charge with the optional AC Adapter.
If your Reader Digital Book is left connected to a powered USB hub while the computer is shut down, your battery may begin to discharge. Disconnect your Reader from the hub when the computer is not powered on.
Always verify that your Reader is fully charged by disconnecting it from the computer and checking the battery indicator. The battery indicator will display 4 black bars when it is fully charged
On a full charge, the battery has the capability of up to 7,500 continuous page turns. Actual battery life will vary based on usage patterns, settings and battery conditions. When the Reader is turned on, off, or a page is marked, battery power is used, thus lowering the expected battery life.
NOTE: When storing the Reader for a long period of time, use the Device Shutdown feature in the Advanced settings menu. After using Device Shutdown, it may take approximately 30 seconds for the Reader to start the next time the Reader is turned on.
Playing audio will reduce the battery life. If you did not start audio play back intentionally, confirm audio is not playing. You will not hear playback unless headphones are connected. Audio playback will continue until it is stopped by turning it off from the Now Playing menu. To see if audio is playing, press the HOME button and then press the OPTION button. If Now Playing is displayed in the dialogue box that appears, tap Now Playing and this will take you to the song that is playing. Press the Pause button to stop playback of that song and then press the HOME button.
NOTES:
Due to the nature of the E Ink electronic display technology, the LCD can retain an image without having power. Turning the page is the only time power is consumed. If the Reader's power is drained, the LCD will retain the last image that was displayed, thus making it appear like the Reader is frozen and in some instances it will not have enough power to perform other operations such as turning on or off.
Battery life can be affected by operating temperatures below 41 degrees F, lack of use, or if the battery has not been given enough time to fully charge.
As with any battery, if the Reader is stored for an extended period of time, the battery will discharge on it's own. Therefore, it may be necessary to charge the battery prior to use.
If the Reader has not been used for an extended period of time, repeatedly charging and discharging will improve the efficiency of the battery.
If the battery life still seems short, the battery may need to be replaced.

Since ive downloaded IOS 6 my battery will not keep a charge. I took it to Apple store and they restored it and my battery still only last 30 -45 mins

Since i downloaded IOS 6 my IPod 4s will not keep a charge. Went to Apple store and they restored it. ive turned every app off and now my battery only last 30 to 45 mins.Is anybody else have/had this problem. Apple store employee's told me this is very common with the IOS 6 upgrade

Shows what they know. Battery issues rarely relate to an update. The fact that they restored it and the problem continues indicates a hardware issue with the battery.

Battery does not have any charge

Hi I have a brand new Envy notebook 17-j131na running Windows 8.1 and the battery does not seem to be charging. It powers up with the AC power plugged in but when I put the curser on the battery icon which has got a red cross through it.
It comes up as plugged in and charging. I have had the power plugged in for quite a few hours and the notebook turned off and the notebook would not switch on with only the battery plugged in. I have done a bettery check and it says HP battery check unable to access battery. Has anyone got any ideas.

Hi,
Try the insructions from this link:
Troubleshooting the notebook battery
If that doesnt help then try performing a calibration:
Testing and Calibrating the Battery (Windows 8)
After that also if battery is not getting detected then it'll be hardware problem..most likely the battery needs to be replaced.
The warranty of the battery is always one year from the date of purchase. If still within one year then call tech support and they will be able to get it replaced for you. Make a note of the error messages when the tests are run.
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

Battery does not take full charge?

My 12" iBook does not seem to be taking a full charge, When I drain the battery and set the iBook to charge it only charges to about 20% and then jumps to 100% and the power ring turns green. Is there a way to "recondition" the battery or should I look into buying a new one? My stats programs says the battery has used 62 cycles and has 69% life left in it.

How old is the battery? The average lifespan of a lithium-ion battery is two to three years.
According to Apple, "A properly maintained PowerBook or iBook battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity after 300 full charge and discharge cycles."
Apple makes no mention of the fact that the age of the battery is a consideration, no matter the number of cycles you have used. If the battery is more than two years old, you probably need to buy a new one.

Anyone have their iPad3 suddenly not accep a charge like it used to?!

My iPad3 has suddenly stopped accepting a charge the way it used to! While plugged into an outlet while operating it, the battery power would stay at 100%, now it falls as if not plugged in. If on, but not in use the charge will take approximately 10x longer! It will only reach 100% if the unit is turned off while charging…. What's going on here?!

Hello girlsouct1994,

PSE 8 organize and edit does not come up automatically like it use to

When I connect my camera or a thumb drive to my computer, PSE 8.0 edit and organize use to come up automatically and made it easy to import pictures. However, that automatic feature no longer works. Now I'm given the choice to select "Organize and Edit using Adobe Elements Organizer 8.0". And when I click this, I get the message, "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel." I've tried to correct this but have had no luck. I realize I can open PSE organized, click on File, and then on Get photos and videos, then click From camera or scanner, and then... So, if you know how to get this automatically running again, i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Hello Ron,
Unfortunately, the automatic reaction to plugging in your camera is a function of the Operating System. But we should be able to do something about that, but it depends on which OS.
Win XP
With the camera plugged in and turned on, if you go to My Computer your camera should be listed (like any other drive, but have a camera icon). If you right-click and go to Properties, you should have an Events tab. With the event set to "Camera connected" go to the Actions section. At this point, it is probably set to "Prompt for which program to run". Change it to "Run this program:" and choose Elements Organizer from the drop-down list.
Windows Vista/7
With the camera plugged in and turned on, if it does not open automatically, go to the device settings (Control Panel>Devices and Printers and select the camera). Click on "Change general settings". From the "When this device connects to this computer" drop-down, choose "Organize and Edit with Adobe Elements Organizer 8".
Hope that helps!
-Brett

"Streaming Buffer Size" pop-up menu does not exist under Advanced when I use iTunes - Preferences - Advanced. How can I increase buffer size?

How can I change buffer size in iTunes 10? "Streaming Buffer Size" pop-up menu does not exist under Preferences--Advanced.

Hi all, iTunes streaming victims.
I struggled long with the streaming buffer problem of iTunes and indeed could solve it with increasing the buffer size, which features has been removed in iTunes 10. And this without updating the instructions by Apple!
Here is my solutions:

Battery does not seem to charge

When I plug my iPod into my computer, it says that it is charging. Meanwhile, it really isn't. However, when I plug it into any other computer, it works perfectly fine. Is something on my computer preventing my iPod from charging?

I would say it is the laptop's problem. The USB por son some just do not provide enough curent to show the iPd charging when the screen is on. Does it charge over time afer the iPod goes to sleep?

New(?) battery does not hold a charge.

I purchased my G4 iBook used. The battery percentage reads 95% full, but after disconnecting the power, it only lasts about 5 minutes until it is dead.
But the battery appears "new". Here is what the profiler says:
It is an Apple OEM battery.
Battery Information:
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 2729
Charging: No
Full charge capacity (mAh): 2867
Health Information:
Cycle count: 43
Condition: Good
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): 0
Voltage (mV): 16631
I don't know much of what this means, any help is appreciated!

So then the problem is the transfer of charge from the power source to the battery within the machine's power management unit. Sometimes resetting it can help:

If it doesn't then, you need to take the machine in to service.
