Reasons for dead battery: SMC not working properly, which means that the power options are draining the life out of your battery. If one constantly charges the battery and then lets it drain out all the way it will shorten its life. This carried on for as long as 3 months could well leave the battery useless.
If u have apple care... call them, and get a new one. Also, ask them about the above.

  • I have a iPod video/black 80Gb 5th generation and my battery never lasts more than 30 mintues or less.

    Is this a matter of getting a new battery, maybe a service? Or something more technical?
    I've charged the unit for hours although it always shows fully charged symbol within an 1 hour.
    It functions fine when plugged in, updated and synced.
    Only real problem is it turns of in 30 minutes or less with only the very low battery fading into the screen.
    Any help/advice happily accepted

    Yes.  It sounds like the iPod's battery is on its last leg.  If you want to keep using your iPod you'll want to have the battery replaced either by Apple, a third party company, or you can even buy the replacement part and swap it out yourself.

  • 1020 Battery not lasting more than 5 or 6 hours so...

    I have had my 1020 since they first hit in the US. The drain problem has come and gone. The first month it would die after 4 hours then it would last all day for awhile. Now it is back to the 4-6 hour range. I have everything but Cell turned off, no back ground apps and shut down my apps as I go. I have a strong 4G LTE signal.
    I paid $300 for mine on two year contract to help keep the Nokias going in the US. I have seen some people say that they have been able to exchange there's and the new one works better. It is so bad I had to get two rechargeable batteries to make it through a day.
    What can I do? At this rate if it doesn't get much better I may end up dumping the phone I love just to get one that can make it through a day with light to moderate use. I have always loved Nokia and have been an early adopter to make sure the phones get the sales to stay alive. I even have everyone in my family getting them.

    I do a soft reset when my 920 starts the battery cycle thing. Hold the volume down button and power button down until the phone vibrates, release.
    Think I am going to start doing this befor a phone update.

  • I bought a ipad mini online from the apple store. His battery doesn't last more than 6h. I return it back to them they send me a new one, but the problem is same. Battery doesn't last more than 5-6h!

    I have purchased a iPad mini online from the Apple store. Since day one I had 2 issues with it. First is that the battery life doesn't last more than 5-6h active usage, and the second one is with the wi-fi. It works properly but after I leave it for a while in sleep mode and try to reuse it, it doesn't want to open a web page or app store or mail (anything connected with the internet search) but it shows that is properly connected with my home network. So I have to turn off the wi-fi connection and turn it on again so it start to work properly. After couple off days this becomed very annoying so I contacted the support via phone and they gave me instructions for return it and that I'll receive a new one without aditional fee. I get the second device in the predicted time but again I have the same issues with the wi-fi and battery life. I will be pleased if someone from the Apple expert team explaine to me what should I do, because I dont find it for normal what is happening. On the Apple official site under the specifications for iPad mini it says that the battery lasts for at least 10h and the wi-fi problem isn't mentioned anywhere. Thanks in advance.

    This is a user to user forum. No one here is an employee or representative of Apple.
    If you want someone from Apple to explain what you should do make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one near you and take your iPad there and talk to Apple. If no Apple store is close enough then call Apple to find out what your alternatives are. There is a Contact Info link at the bottom of every page in this forum.

  • HT202299 Is there a way to automatically upload videos that last more than 5 minutes on icloud ?

    I saw that icloud has a limitation of 5 minutes on the videos :
    Is there a way to automatically upload videos that last more than 5 minutes from iphoto/photos ?
    I'm trying to find a way to store my photo library on the cloud, AND keep to acces to each photos/videos from the net (not just storing the .iphotolibrary on the icloud folder) but i cant do it for the videos of more than 5min ...

    I believe you are probably referring to iCloud photo sharing. If you wait a while, the next version of Yosemite will include the new Photos application which will sync video through the iCloud photo library feature.

  • Please, the battery of my mac air does not last more than two hours, it's been over 30 days I sent for technical assistance and nothing! I am very disappointed with the mac air, I had a very different expectation of apples products!!

    Maybe the problem is not your MB Air......
    Try these:
    Make sure bluetooth is turned off if you're not using it.
    Set your screen brightness to 4 bars.
    See what's loading in your login items.  Delete the ones you don't need.
    Open Activity Monitor - under All Processes see what's using most of your CPU's resources.
    Highlight the ones with the highest %CPU and hit quit process.
    Remember that when Apple says that your battery should last 7 hours, they tested it just browsing the web and not have anything open in the background and screen is set at 50% brightness.

  • I just got an iPod touch, it was fine with battery life before I added Apps but now the battery doesn't last more than a night, what should I do?

    I just got an ipod touch from my sister yesterday which she has had since October. The battery life went for days with her but as soon as I started checking my email and adding apps the battery doesn't last more than a couple of hours. I deleted some apps but no change. I also kept my email logged in and my notifications turned on so I'm wondering if they are part of the problem. Please let me know what I should do. Thank you so much.

    Yes, notifications are part of the problem.  For more information look at at the previous posts on this problem.  Yu can find some of those on the right hand side of this page under the heading: More Like This.  I keep mine in airplane mode when asleep.

  • On my iPad 3, how do I make calendar items lasting more than one day appear as such on the monthly view of my calendar? Right now only the first day of the item appears.

    On iPad 3, all of my calendar items lasting more than one day do not appear correctly when looking at the monthly view of the calendar; only the first day of the appointment appears. For example, if I am taking a vacation for 4 days, only the first day of the vacation is marked on the calendar, instead of being listed on all 4 days. When I look at the weekly view, however, it is correct and is listed on all 4 days. The problem here of course is that at a glance, there is no way to look at my monthly schedule. On my iPhone, everything is correct, regardless of month or week view, so clearly this is an iPad problem I guess? Please advise on how this can be corrected. Thank you!

    Unfortunately you can't do what you want. Many people have complained to Apple about this. I suggest you provide Apple feedback directly at http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html. They will not provide a direct response but hopefully if enough people provide feedback Apple will fix this.

  • MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?

    MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?

    The firmware update corrects an error that may occur, however the techs would have checked the condition of the battery prior to installing a new one.  If the battery was questionable, the firmware update was really not too important.
    You can check the battery condition by going to the apple, left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power and see what it says about Cycle Count, Condition, Capacity: Condition anything but Normal needs to be checked and may need to be replaced.
    The cycle count of 1,000 charge cycles is the typical life of a Lithium-Ion battery, the point at which the capacity drops to 80% of the as built capacity.

  • Does any one out there have problems with all in ones. Mine never last more than 6 months

    I have had numerous printers/fax/scanners and they only last 4 to 6 months. I would think for the money you have to pay for them they would last longer. Something that cost 500 dollars should last more than 4 months

    What is it that does not last?  Do your printers go wrong in the same way?
    From a printing standpoint, the number of total printed pages is a good way to measure the life of a printer instead of in days, weeks or months.
    I was an HP employee.

  • IPhone battery doesnt last

    Battery doesn't last for more than one day. Its the
    4th time I restore the iPhone in 3 days

    I think I found the answer to the baterry drain. I been testing setting y setting to see whats causing the poor battery of my iPhones. I been testing my iPhone for a week now and two days ago I turn off the cel network search settings under Location Services and my battery was able to hold for a full day and a half and 7 h off heavy usage (email, texting, phone calls, Facebook, twitter). The main thing was that under standby there was almost no battery drain. I think that this setting was causing my phone to die by 5 pm every day. (I start my day at 6am). Now I'm able to last until the next day with out charging it!
    This is what I did a week ago
    1. reset the phone to factory settings with the computer ( I had to download the iOS since I did the last update via OTA)
    2. Setup 2 exchange accounts with PUSH, and iCloud with PUSH, iTunes match
    3. Turn off ping
    4. Turn off all system service in location services, exept compass calibration ( I use it with waze).
    5. My apps locations services I left on the ones I know I use
    Let me know how it goes!

  • What can i do if the battery doesnt last me 6 hours?

    my macbook pro is a 15 inches 2,3 Ghz, with mountain lion 10.8.2
    i know what all the answers will say, check activity monitor, well the highest activity is kernel_task with 3.8% and im noit going to delete that process or ill be regreted..
    any ways, my keyboard light is off, the brightness is the minimum, and the bluetooth is off too.
    the battery is lasting me no more than 4 hours, 3.5 hours is the major times..
    what can i do?
    im charging the mbp everyday!!!! and i bougth it in august 23

    First, document the battery performance by charging your MBP fully, pulling the power adapter, setting the Brightness to 50%, max out Energy Saver (set both to Never), and switching on Safari. Don't turn on any other process. This is one way Apple determines if a machine is using too much battery. Under these conditions, you should be getting seven hours.
    Leave a note here with your results, please.

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion today, my battery only lasts less than 1:30 and the fans seem to run constantly. Help?

    I have a late 2011 13" MBP with a 2.8 GHz i7 processor and 4GB of RAM. With OSX 10.7, my battery could last over 4:30; however, now I see the battery drop a percentage point about every minute (currently at 81% and it says 1:16 remaining). I have a number of programs open (Chrome, Mail, iTunes, Twitter, Skype), but these are the same programs I almost always had running with Lion and I never had this problem. Something else new is that the fan seems to constantly be running and only turns off if I put the computer to sleep.
    Here are screenshots of my activity monitor: http://imgur.com/a/shehM
    Any advice?
    My battery has decreased to 70% (1:07 remaining) by the time I've finished writing this...

    It looks like Skype is basically running two CPU cores at nearly full throttle (well, 1.57 cores).  That's bound to drain the battery pretty quickly.  If you were not doing a high resolution video chat in Skype when you took that screen shot, then something is very wrong with it.  Check and see if there's a newer version of Skype available that fixes the problem.

  • Download of iPhone latest update lasting more than an hour!?

    Unbelievably it is taking more than an hour to download the latest iOS update for iPhone (4s), released yesterday.
    What is the problem?  What to fix?

    Download from where? OTA/ITunes?
    Sorry but I was able to update, my 5S/4S and ipad 3 in under 20 minutes.
    Update a 5C and 5S in under 20 minutes.
    So the issue maybe your wifi connection if it is taking that long.
