Battery not working fully

I keep my ipod photo in the dock all day charging and play it every day in the dock but when i take it to go out it only plays for like 5 hours

Hi Matthew,
There are several factors which affect battery run time. A few others are: 1) bitrate (high bitrates cause the HDD to spin up more frequently), 2) excessively large photos imported as album artwork (like running w/EQ, the processor must work longer to rescale), 3) headphone efficiency.
It's for these reasons it is impossible to compare run times. If you optimize everything you can and your iPod is relatively new, I would think you'll get a lot more than 5 hours. The support pages recommend letting the battery run down every two weeks or so especially if you normally keep it on the charger.

    Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks,

    Yes, there is a known issue using the latest update of 1.4.2 or 1.5.0 vm.
    Generally, Workshop should work fine with 1.4.2 or 1.5.0 series. You can find the supported platform info at

  • Battery not working for 7 hours

    battery not working for 7 hours.. it working only for 3 hours or 4 hours

    I'm sorry, got confused. You're not going to get 7 hours on your battery. Apple says "Up to 7 hours". That means they got 7 hours under optimum circumstances and with certain usage. You need to keep your screen brightness as low as you can live with. Minimum music and video. Check some email, a little office type stuff. Forget games. You might get close but you won't get 7 hours.
    In the small print of their adds Apple spells out exactly how much of what they did to get 7 hours.

  • MACbook Pro battery not work

    My New Macbook pro i7, during update, black out, when restart, battery not working. connect with AC adapter, Mac auto starting up, and battery not charge, disconnect the AC adapter, Mac cut off.
    This just new one, and we do not have store in our country. I bought this from Austrilia store in Brisbane. Please assis me how to reset this matter, as if I need sent back to store may need spend lots of money on the air tikets.

    Hi Meck PNG,
    although it seems to be a firmware or software problem (just after you updated), I think it could be a problem with the charger. It could be the connector, did you clean the connector and the Magsafe Power Port (compressed air/ soft brush). If that doesn't solve the problem, visit the apple store, you still are having guarantee (I suppose).

  • Battery not working !!!! Need help !!!!!

    74% battery capacity

    8 months old
    A/C connected
    Battery not charging
    When I take the battery pack off the computer, the green lights on the battery pack does light up !!!!

    Thanks

    Try to re-calibrate the battery: your computer think that the battery is fully charged so it isin't allowing anymore charge to get into the batery, which is y it is not charging.

  • Battery not working properly after upgrading to 10.8.5

    Hi guys,
    i have upgraded recently to OS X 10.8.5 and now battery charge is always 0% and battery charging light in green state; system is indicating "replace now" as battery condition;
    the thing is that, before the upgrade, even if battery was not lasting more then 50 minutes (400 and more recharging cycles), it was fine;
    now when I plug the power cable and boot the laptop, it seems is trying 3 times to boot;
    I did check and I have the latest SMC firmware; trying to reset it as described in
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    did not work.
    I suppose i have to bring it to the support but anyone with a similar issue?
    Thanks
    G.

    Thanks for your reply;
    yes, the update raised is probably picking up that my battery is not anymore in good condition; as it is indicating  "replace now" as condition and Apple documentation states:
    Replace Now: The battery is functioning normally but holds significantly less charge than it did when it was new. You can continue to use the battery until you replace it without harming your computer.
    Saying "functioning normally but holds significantly less charge", I would expect the battery to keep at least the 50 minutes of charge (as before the upgrade); but now is not re-charging at all (0% always and green light status); and the consequence is that as soon as I unplug the power cable, the laptop will die. So I still believe there was something with the upgrade and the SMC firmware (my mac is a MacBookPro.8.2 early 2011).
    Thanks

  • Battery not working no mo

    My battery in my Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Extra stopped working, my dad took some tests on it and comfirmed the battery isnt working is there any chance I can get it replaced the battery I mean and.. I lost my warranty on it, but I assure you I have only had this thing for about 5-6 months.

  • Zen Touch: battery not working anym

    I have bought my Zen Touch a bit more than a year ago, so I am not covered anymore by the warranty (and apparently I can get any official support from Creative...) Not many serious problems so far, up to a few days ago.
    I can only use my Zen Touch when plugged on the power cord. The battery is not responding. When plugged using the cord, I don't have any indication of the battery being charged. When I take out the plug, the player "dies". I tried to connect using the USB cable (and without the power plug) but that did not work (I think that was not working on mine since the beginning anyway.)
    So far, I have looked for a similar problem on the forums, reset the player, rebuilt the library... Without any result.
    If you have an idea how to solve this problem, that would be nice Otherwise, I will open it to see what the battery looks like...
    Thanks.

    Yep, try a reset.

  • Replacement battery not working properly

    Hello,
    I have a G72 Notebook and I just recently bought a replacement battery that is not working properly.
    I think that the laptop is just not able to communicate with the battery to find out how much power it has left.
    I'm pretty sure that the battery is taking charge just fine (although the icon says, "plugged in, not charging" because I used it for a couple hours today and it never changed from "41%".
    Right now it says "0%" but continues to power my computer if I unplug it.
    I've tried cleaning the connectors and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the battery driver.
    My old battery still charges just fine and works perfectly it just doesn't last more than an hour or so.
    I ordered the replacement battery that it listed on my old battery, but it seems to not snap in quite right.
    It fits in my computer, it just isn't as smooth to snap in as my old one is.  As far as I can tell it's exactly the same except I think some of the little plastic parts have slightly different sizes.
    Thanks for any help!

  • Ipod battery not charges fully

    Hi friends,
    i have ipod bought a month back, last week it's battery charge was totally went down, Now iam charging it for last 2 days continously , but still it's not charged fully. Also the PC is not able to recognise the IPOD , so does the ITUNE also. I hope it's because the IPOD is not fully charged. But why does it take more than 2 days for battery charging? Do i need to approach a servie center for replacing the battery? Please help me.
    Note: I can see only blinking orange light whenever i connected it to a PC or through a external electric power supplier.

  • Presario CQ42 battery not working

    My laptop Presario CQ42 battery ok and charger is ok but it cannot detect my battery and it is out of warantee,
    please help me fine a way
    thanks

    Well you should have indicated that in the first post. A horse of another color, so to speak. It can be either a bad charging port or a bad motherboard. It is difficult to tell which. The only way to be sure is to replace the charging port which is relatively easy and cheap and if that does not work you know it is the motherboard. 
    This is the part you would need to replace first:

  • HP Mini 110-1100 CTO keyboard not working fully

    Hello, everyone;
    My Mini 110-1100 keyboard is acting strangely. Most of the time, certain keys will not register as being pressed. Space bar, the left shift key, t, y, [, ], z, x, c, v, and m all do not work when this happens. Sometimes (rarely) all keys will work from boot. In addition, when it's not working properly. after using it for a few hours or so, the keyboard will randomly work. I'm assuming it is a software problem as opposed to a hardware issue because of this. I am running XP Service Pack 3, with all available updates. I have also tried reinstalling both the keyboard and touchpad driver.
    If anyone has any suggestions, it would be appreciated. Thank you!
    -Don

    Ok, so the drivers are current, an external keyboard works, you could try restoring the system to a date when the keyboard was known to work but I doubt that it would fix it, most likely it is a hardware issue, in which case you should check your warranty and call HP.

  • RV042 DMZ not working fully (FW: 1.3.12.19-tm)

    Hi,
    discover this weekend an annoying bug in the DMZ for RV042 (either way DMZ with second WAN port or via config menu)
    I tried Exchange 2007 with DMZ (yes I know, should not be DMZ) receive email was fine but the OWA didn't work. Error after confirm the certification exception (looks like the certificate use the Router MAC as CN, what is strange) is:
    501 Not Implemented
    The requested method is not implemented by this server.
    Doing DMZ with the Linksys Linksys WRT54GL (FW: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (10/10/09) std - build 13064)it is working like a charm.
    so my conclusion is that the DMZ of my RV042 is not working properly.
    Can I open a support issues with Linksys/Cisco for this, so there fix it in the next fw?
    Please advise, Thanks
    Tilo

    The firmware you are trying to install is only for the newer version 3 RV042's and will
    not install on your device. You may want to try re-flashing your current firmware to see if that helps.
