Does leaving an Ipod pluged in kill the battery?

I have a dock/speaker combination for my ipod. I use the ipod with these speakers as an alarm clock, so i have to leave the speakers plugged in all night. Does leaving the ipod plugged in like this kill the battery? in some places ive heard that it does, but in others ive heard that it doesnt have that big of an effect at all. Which is it?

In fact, as long as your iPod isn't hot, the battery likes being topped up.

Does filling up your iPhones memory kill the battery?

I have a 64GB iPhone and am wondering if when I fill it completely with music if that has any effect on battery life.

Correct. Managing battery life involves other managing other active services in settings (see http://lifehacker.com/5859413/how-to-improve-your-iphones-battery-life), but not how much music is stored on your phone.

Does charging your computer too long really kill the battery?

Does charging your computer too long really kill the battery? I have some friends who claim this happened to thair PCs, and my friend's iBook G4 has about ~3 minutes of battery life because of this. Has Apple fixed this in later models or should I still only charge it until just as long as it takes for it to get filled up?

Mac power management is now, and always has been, very smart. The Mac does not over-charge its battery.
Batteries have a limited lifetime, and they eventually wear out whether they are charged daily or never charged at all. Your friend's G4 battery, if original, has lasted a very long time. It is not dying due to over-charging, it is dying due to old age.
For longest battery life, follow the recommendations in the article shldr2thewheel cited above.

Does Apple kill the battery at a set number of cycles?

The battery on my macbook pro dropped from 47% capacity to 10% at 475 cycles and additional charge/discharge cycles do not increase that number. Coincidentally (or not) my first battery also died at EXACTLY the same number. It was still in Applecare when the first one died and the phone tech said ÿeah, that's about right."
Does Apple have a bomb planted in the battery software to force replacement at 475?

Batteries are designed to be able to have working the 80% of the capacity after 1000 charges. If your battery doesn't support that or you see that your battery is dying, the battery is defective, so you should take the computer to an Apple Store
Verrrry interesting. What is the source of this information. Is it from Apple or is it generic engineering data? I'm heading into Chicago in two days and plan to stop by the Apple store. I would LOVE to be able to quote their own specs if possible.

Did you already try another USB cable or USB port?
Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
Also try these tips as well:

What's the fastest way to kill the battery...

hello friends. i was wondering what's the fastest way to drain my macbook pro battery so i can calibrate it? i want to kill the battery not the laptop if you know what i mean. thanks.

Turn on wifi + bluetooth and turn the brightness all the way up, and if its a new mbp, turn off the automatic video card switching in energy saver. Then just play youtube videos / movies / games (anything that uses the vid card as much as possible helps) till it goes flat.

My ipod keeps giveing me the battery depleted sybole

my ipod keeps giveing me the battery depleted sybole and it will do that for a long time then just give me the apple simbol and freezes. CAN ANYONE SUGGEST ANYTHING!

Unfortunately, it might be one of those problems where if you don't know how to go about fixing it, then you probably can't fix it. In other words, anything is fixable if you know how.
So say you blew the charging circuit. So figure that out you would have to know electronics enough to get in there with an oscilloscope and also know the circuit and check it. Then if you found the defective component, you would then have to find a replacement part and then be able to hand solder surface mount parts to remove the old one and put in the new one. But if you knew how to do all that, you probably wouldn't be asking here, so I assume you don't know how. In which case your only option is to either find someone willing and able to go to that level or buy a new one.
I wish I could give you more information, but that is the best I can do to diagnose a potential hardware issue over a forum like this.

HT1222 The new iOS 7 update is killing the battery in my iPad. I have checked online and taken measure indicted to help this - but the battery is dead within hours. I am very frustrated. Can I undo this update??

The new software update - iOS 7.0.2 is killing the battery in my iPad. I have searched online and taken the recommended measures to decrease battery use, but within hours my iPad is completely dead. It would take days to kill the battery before this update. I am very frustrated. Can I undo this update???

This typically happens when some apps on the phone were interrupted by the upgrade. When it comes back up the app tries to resume and can not. You have to find and kill that app(s).
Do you have an Exchange account?
That is usually the culprit. Go into Settings and turn off all of the toggles for the Exchange account. Then reset the phone (hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears). When the phone powers back on, turn the toggles back on.
Do the same for all mail accounts if you don't have Exchange or that doesn't resolve the issue.
If it is not Exchange/Mail then it could be another app(s).
With iOS 7 you can control what apps run in the background. Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh. This will list all of the apps that can run in background. Turn them all off and restart. If this fixes the problem turn on a few at a time until you find the one causing the trouble.

Does leaving your iPod in a docking station damage the battery?

I've just purchased an LG docking station for my iPod Classic. While using it for the first time, I noticed that the iPod also charges up via the docking station, even when I've turned the docking station into standby mode.
I've read on several posts that the iPod batteries eventually start to deteriorate after several hundred charges. My question is, will leaving my iPod in the docking station (so it's therefore permanently on charge) eventually lead to my iPod battery being damaged/deteriorating?
Prior to this I've always charged my iPod via my PC when syncing to iTunes.
Cheers.

See question 7.

Will leaving an ipod in car during the summer cause the 'sad ipod' icon?

I have a 20gb with photo ipod.
One day about 2 weeks ago it started messing up, forgetting memory (songs), not playing, doing weird things like that.
I just put it away in a dresser drawer for about a week, then got curious and pulled it out to sync again, and so far it has worked with no problem for 3 days now.
I was curious if anyone knows if the general heat inside a car during summer could cause it to be sad like it was, or if that sad icon is usually something much worse than just getting too warm.
Thank you for any advice.

A little more detail (in case it is needed).
I do service work, so I drive my company car to customer's homes.
So this ipod would be in the AC for say 20 minutes, then in the car with no AC for 30, then with AC for 20, then no AC for 60 minutes, back and forth like that all day for 8 hours, but I never left it in direct sunlight.

Hey what does it mean when i charge my ipod and its on the battery screen and it turns to the apple screen then it turns off and it just keeps repeatedly doing it

it doesnt seem to wanna charge i just got it its an 8 gb black ipod with the camera on both sides

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
