Do I need to replace my iPod battery?

I've had my video iPod since Christmas of 2006. Earlier this year my laptop crashed so I've just now started using my iPod on a new one. Even after putting the new updates onto my iPod it still has pretty low battery life, even after charging for more than 4 hours. I dont think I can play songs for more than about 30 mins before the message saying that I need to recharge pops up even though the battery shows that it is still at least half charged. I can't play more than 5 videos without it cutting off completely. So do I need to install some old updates that I missed or do I need to send it in to have the battery replaced?

You need to go to an Apple store set up an appointment and speak to someone at the Genius Bar. Yes, it sounds like you need a battery replacement. These should be helpful.

  • Replacing my ipod battery

    would i need for a third generation ipod?
    Firstly you'll need the right tools because the ipod is really a hard drive (storage device)with a display panel attempting this might be fatal, but if you have no other options attempt it but take your time doing it make sure you have a good set of jewellers tools (tiny screw drivers).
    Good Luck.Let me know how you get on.squidly

  • How long before I might need to change my ipods battery?

    I've had my ipod touch 2nd gen for 4 yrs and I heard about the battery needing to be changed eventually. Can I just into an apple store and ask them to change the battery and how much do I need to pay. My warranty has already expired and I didn't renew it. What are the symptoms of a battery needing to be replaced? Thanks.

    See this article for more details: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/battery/
    An iPod is eligible for out-of-warranty service if it is no longer eligible for warranty service or the Out-of-warranty Battery Replacement Program and is determined by Apple to be repairable. If you want to set up your iPod for out-of-warranty service, we recommend that you take your iPod to your local Apple Retail Store. Alternatively, you can contact Apple Technical Support.

  • Apple won't replace my ipod battery

    Ive had my ipod mini for around 9 months now and the battery cuts out after around half an hour of playing time. It comes back on but soon cuts out again. I sent it back to apple and they have just sent me it back today telling me that the ipod is satisfactory and that they won't replace it. Does anyone know if you can get replacements from a local apple store??

    they don't advertise this program properly. they will only replace the battery if they deem that it needs to be replaced. my battery has been sucking (my mini's over 2 years old) and they refused to replace its battery.

  • Need to replace HD + (possibly) battery

    Hi -- I've got a MBP 4,1 (Early 2008) -- and the hard drive is starting to make pretty loud noises.  It coincided (at least I *think* it did) with a repair that the Apple Store did on a the case or housing that includles the trackpad & surrounds the keypad.  But I figure that's just a coincidence. 
    1.  At any rate, I've got a Fujitsu 200GB drive that came with the machine.  And though I've been pretty good about backing up my data, I think it may be time to replace the drive (I assume the symptoms are awful noises -- but maybe not?).  Specs on the current drive are at the end of this message.
    Will this drive fit:
    Western Digital 750GB
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136546
                        WD7500BPVT 750GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive
    Also -- I don't understand the difference between 5400 RPM and 7200 RPM.  I understand what RPM literally means -- but will either of these speeds work with my machine (a google search suggests so but I wasn't sure) or is my choice of harddrives confined to one particular speed?  I don't see any particular RPM spec for my current HD in the System Profiler.
    2.  In addition, the system profiler suggests that the battery be "replace[d] soon".

    It's looking like one of these 2.5" SATA drives from OWC will fit:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
    But I'm a bit confused over a particular speed is necessary or if one can use any RPM speed?
    Wasn't sure if HD RPM is linked to memory (RAM) speed?
    If someone can direct me toward what's possible for the OWC drivers in my Late 2008 Macbook Pro model 4,1,
    I'd sure appreciate it :_

  • Will an Apple Store be able to replace my iPod Battery?

    The Apple store will not replace the battery, you should fill out a service request.

  • I need to replace the cmos battery for Compaq nc 6320

    The computer I'm working on will not recognize the HD. I've pulled the drive and it works showing the entire drive.
    I think that I think that the MBR is corrupted. I've tryed to us the XP professional CD but can't get past the need for a password. I thought I could remove the Cmos battery to bypass the lock that may be in the Cmos.

  • IPod Battery Dies if i don't put Hold on

    IS this something wrong? Everytime i forget to put the hold on when i'm not using it the battery dies. My friend has the same exact type of iPod i have and doesn't have to do this. Is something wrong with my battery and i need to replace my iPod?

    The first thing to do is to reset the ipod, then restore the ipod if reset did not work. This would determine if the issue was a software or hardware issue.

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If the restore does not work then it is a hardware issue and the ipod needs to be serviced. You can go to the following link to set the ipod up for service.

  • Do You Know Your iPod Battery May Fall Under Warranty Replacement?

    I have the extended warranty on my iPod Touch. My batter life was horrible... without wifi just playing music getting just over 3 hours. I also had a bad MBP battery. Called up AppleCare and got case numbers for both after diagnosis. Was taking a long drive to an Apple Store with Genus appt the next day...
    My name was called and my Genus re-ran the MBP battery check finding it at fault and went to replace it... I said that I was having an issue with the Touch battery as well. He said "You know that the battery is NOT covered under warranty!". I said NO, if a battery is faulty that it is covered under warranty. I told him that it was THE reason that I purchased the warranty... He argued with me about it and I just couldnt believe my ears... I said that all he had to do was go to the Apple site and find the Touch battery warranty description... He started printing out the MBP battery replacement agreement and we had another video test to run on the MBP... he went in the back to get a DVD.
    As I sat there I started hearing all the genus say to every customer with a iPod battery issue say that battery replacement cost blah blah blah... no one was asked if they had a warranty or that if the battery was found to be faulty the battery replacement would be covered. One guy came in with his son saying the iPod was a Christmas present and the battery was only getting blah blah hours... Again, he was told that a battery replacement would cost $$$. It was surely under warranty but he was still charged! ***?
    My Genus comes back and runs the video test with a Howdy Doody DVD, UGH... anyways... he goes back to return the DVD and comes back with something in his hand, unwraps a Touch and tosses it my way. I asked him what was up? He says that the original Touch battery is not replaceable so here was a new one. I said OK... thinking, why was he giving me one after arguing with me about the battery NOT being under warranty???
    So, I guess it pays off to know your warranty with Apple products as the Genus wont offer the facts. Maybe this was just at the Cleveland OH Apple Store. So, wondering if you know that your iPod battery may fall under warranty and if this is a national fraud by Genus?
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB591LL/A#overview "3. Service coverage is available for battery depletion of 50 percent or more from original specification."

    According to this page -> http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipod
    Will the data on my iPod be preserved?
    No. You will receive a replacement iPod that will not contain any of your data, songs, etc. Before you submit your iPod for service, it is your responsibility to keep a separate backup copy of the data stored on your iPod and reinstall that data. Please do not send any accessories with your iPod as they will not be returned.
    Attention iPod touch customers: Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data using iCloud or iTunes. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPod touch and does not offer any data transfer service.
    Following service your replacement iPod touch may have a newer operating system (iOS) version and you will need to restore your data using the method used to back it up (iCloud or iTunes). As a result, you may also need to update your App Store applications to ensure compatibility with the newer iOS. If you experience a problem with an application purchased from the App Store, check iTunes to see if an update is available or contact the application vendor directly.

  • Apple's battery replacement = different ipod?

    Got a question about ipod battery replacement on Apple Care. Recently purchased two ipod classics, just before they were discontinued. The battery of one of them appears to be underperforming. I also have some older ipods that may need out-of-warranty battery replacement soon.
    All my ipods are meticulous without a scratch.
    Reading Apple’s article on ipod battery replacement, I am wondering. They call it battery replacement program but say 'No, you'll receive a replacement iPod that will not contain any of your data and songs.’
    In other words: they give you another ipod - but there is no word whether it is a new one or somebody else’s. This sounds rather odd. What I try to avoid is getting a scratched up reconditioned replacement.
    What do you get in the end?

    In other words, their battery replacement program is really an ipod replacement program. So it is impossible to open up the ipod without damage. The program can then simply be used to get rid of your scratched up ipod.
    Very strange indeed.
    As to the battery of the classic purchased in Sept 2014: I am playing the same album on repeat at half volume. After 24h, there may be 15% battery left. Apple claims 40 hours and ilounge tested 58 hours.
