Does new 30 GB iPod have longer battery life than original 5th gen 30

The claim from Apple is that the new 30 GB iPod has a brighter screen and that the battery life during video playback is 3.5 hours. The original 5th generation 30 GB ipod only claimed to have 2 hour battery life during video playback. Does anyone know if the new 30 GB iPod actually has a better battery or a more efficieant screen than the original or if these claims are only a result of the new iPod bios (version 1.2) which gives you a brightness control. Is a new 30 GB iPod better than a original 5th gen 30 GB iPod which has been updated to v 1.2?
AMD64 Windows XP Pro 5th Gen 60 GB iPod Video

Let me first not say Ha ha but The fourth Gen photo people said the same thing about when the fifth gen came out and we all complained. Also now that gapless playback has come out we all complained. So all I have to say is that at least you got the quick letter thing when you scroll and the games as well as gapless where we got nothing. I have owned an Ipod since the first gen and let me say I am supprised that apple even gave you guys some update. For all of your complaining, get in line.

Does new Video iPod have Nano scratch problems?

Just wondering if the new iPod has the same scratch issues as the Nano?

I have a black 5th gen and so far I have maybe 2 tiny scratches on the back that are only visible in direct light. I have no scratches on the front but then again I havent taken the plastic off (untill my invis. shield comes). Id just suggest getting the iPod then getting a case asap and keep the plastic on untill then. mines starting to look bad tho because the plastic is peeling off at the bottom

Is it possible to estimate how long battery will last in 5th Gen Nano based on playing time?

I just got a 5th gen ipod nano. It looks like it was never used. I tested the ipod as Apple suggests --It charges enough to play for 13 hours, not 24. Is it possible to estimate how long the battery will last from this point? Does the ability of the battery to take a charge fall off gradually, or is it a quick process? Thanks.

When I got a new iPhone5, I experienced short battery life, and system sofware issues were not the cause. The camera also takes a blury picture regardless of lighting and I have the black one. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

What makes you so sure it isn't software?
The camera can be focused by take the point of focus on the touch screen.
If it is new as you said, it should be under warranty. Make a Genius Bar appointment or contact Apple with a repair request.

Hi. Does using the cover lock help battery life?

Hi. Does using the cover lock help battery life?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

IPod Touch Strangeness: Battery life and iPhoto

I have a first generation iPod Touch (8 GB), running v.2.1. I recently went on a long trip, and the iPod Touch worked as expected, with pretty long battery life, etc. However, on my return, I've noticed two oddities. First, now whenever I attach my iPod Touch to its usual computer (iMac G5/20"/2.0 GHz), not only does iTunes start, but iPhoto also starts. It's not like I loaded a bunch of photos on the Touch-just the same 5 photos that have been on it for a year. Secondly, since returning, my battery life seems to have gotten much shorter. I had not used it for a couple of days earlier this week, and the Touch was completely discharged, despite the fact Wi-fi was turned off during this time. Thinking this may have been a fluke, I recharged it. Last night, I turned it on (full battery), and played a game on it for a bit. When I was done, the battery was slightly discharged. I made sure wifi was turned off again, and let it sit overnight. This morning, the battery was again half discharged. Any idea what is going on with these two things?
Thanks in advance.

Only Apple knows. The testers for iOS5 may also know but they are prevented from telling people now. by thieir NDA (non disclosure agreement).

Is ipod touch low battery life normal?

I just bought my new ipod touch. I found the battery life is quite short. Every day i have to charge it twice. Now I am keeping to use my ipod touch as less as possible to manage charging it once a day. This is really not compared to a regular phone, which you probably can use 3 or 4 days to recharge again.
The so-called dock adapter inside the box is quite tricky! I thought it is the power adapter. Normally when you buy a cellphone, it comes with the power adapter. But for ipod touch, you have to buy power adapter separately! I even don't know what's the use of this 'plastic' dock adapter. i called Apple and asked "You call this plastic piece an adapter!". It's a little funny!
During my first week using my ipod touch, it got stuck or crashed TWICE, two times! One time is when it downloaded an email with a 8Mb attachement.
In addition, I feel quite confusing with so many accounts with Apple, such as Apple store account, iTune account, iChat account, MobileMe account, and even this discussion forum account. Now I have 3 Apple IDs!
The use of MacBook is so far so good.
This is my experience with Apple's products!
Welcome comments and sharing your experience! i just couldn't help keeping myself silent.

Is ipod touch low battery life normal
Yes and no. Even in normal usage, Safari and videos can kill the battery in 4 - 5 hours, whereas music with the screen and WiFi off should last for 22 hours. Most iPT's can last for days in sleep mode, even with WiFi left "ON".
My previous iPod Touch had no battery problems -- the charge would only drop significantly when being used, not while sleeping. Now I have a replacement iPod Touch (the previous one couldn't install the 2.0 Update), and this one won't even last overnight in sleep mode.
Here's what I did in my last test: Turned all the WiFi services off -- Push: OFF, Fetch: OFF, Location Services: OFF, Ask to Join Networks: OFF, WiFi: OFF. Fully recharged the iPT, disconnected it and left it shut down overnight. Booted it up the next day, full battery (Okay so far). Next, I left the iPod Touch in sleep mode for the entire day (8am - 6pm), still full battery (Great!). At 9:00pm, turned on WiFi (and none of the other items mentioned above), used Safari for about 15 minutes, battery went down one notch ~ 90%. (Still normal) Put the iPT into sleep mode, but this time with WiFi left "ON". Woke up the next morning, and the battery plummeted to 10% in about 5 minutes. (NOT GOOD AT ALL).
My previous iPod Touch would have still had 90-80% battery the next morning. And while I would generally suspect the 2.0 Update being the culprit, everyone else I know has been running 2.0 without any problems -- no installation problems, no battery problems. I've been cursed with both issues in two separate iPods.
(I should also mention. I have not yet had a chance to install any media or applications on this iPod Touch, so there's no chance an errant application has somehow triggered a battery drain. This is just a plain iPT with the 2.0 Update and a restore of my Safari bookmarks.)

''Well When i plug in my ipod touch the battery life is low..i let it sit a wyhle.And it starts up to the apple logo and it stay there some time then it restartsback over to the very low battery and repeat(Over&Over)?

''Well When i plug in my ipod touch the battery life is low..i let it sit a wyhle.And it starts up to the apple logo and it stay there some time then it restartsback over to the very low battery and repeat(Over&Over)

Can you reset the device by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here: iOS: Unable to restore

Does OS X Mavericks shorten a battery life time in Retina Macbook Pro?

Does OS X Mavericks shorten a battery life time in Retina Macbook Pro?

Thank you again for your advice, and I am sure your right but as a simplton I have to argue that the problem is asociated with Mavericks in so much as - one does not have any of these issues running any previous OS and therefore, the issue is a Mavericks one when upgrading. It is all to easy for the techies to say "its on your mac' if proper testing and development had been done on, at the very least , the apple software the upgrade should not have issues. its a bit late after installing and having Apple update remind you all the time to upgrade then to say sorry - your fault for having incompatible software like mail . However, I suggest you look at the other apple logs / site that complain of battery drain after mavericks they all point to issues that are as a RESULT of the upgrade and yes technically you will argue that is because the original software in not compatible or some such. Lets not go on and on I have sorted the problem - don't use Mail and battery life is OK, Use mail and watch it drain. Once again thank you please don't feel the need to respond.

HT4528 I have no battery life in my iphone 5 since the iOS 7 upgrade. I have completed all suggestions to help increase the battery power and now I can't use my phone more than 4 hours without the battery dying. What is the solution?

I have no batter in my iphone 5 since upgrading to ios7. I have talked with verizon techinical support and completed all suggestions to maintain the battery. And by the way, these suggestions are annoying and limit phone use as well as require you to close out each application after use, also turning off wi-fi and blue tooth. I don't need this phone if I can't use the features for which it was purchased! Any ideas? Is there a fix coming soon for the battery? Can I return my iphone for my old droid?
Help!

Hi! I don't what's happened for your phone but, you can have more battery life with turning of Wifi, decries brightness, turn off location service and etc. also you shold use less Free+Much Ads apps becuase they use more battery than paid apps normaly.
for more informations about battery normal life see here.
I guess it's not a normal issue. so connect to Apple Care or wait for a better answer...

Hi have been using the classic for 4 years, of late whenever i load more than 4000 songs the ipod crashes and shuts down. till 3800 songs there seems to be no problem. do ipods have a finite life?

the classic ipod has crashed 4 times in the last 2 months. till i load 3800 to 3900 songs there seems to be no problem. but after that it just crashes and instructs me to restore to factory settings. just want to know if ipods have a finite life and need changing after this. i need urgent help at least if that is true i can save the trouble of loading songs every other week
thanks and regards

Yep, iPod classic has life of about 2 years before the hardisk, starts to suffer from arthritis.
Here is a excellent post on iPod diskdiagnostic by regular tt2.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2362776?start=0&tstart=0
You can also look into getting the iPod hardisk replaced by SSD/Compact Flash, just google "iPod SSD replacement" or you can search in youtube, on how to do it yourself, if you got steady hands and hawkeye.
SSD Capacity is expensive,
Have a nice day!

Could be an early retirement problem. There is no fixed lifespan for anything, as you know. Find a friend with a keyboard and test that in your machine. That will show if it is your keyboard or your computer. We can progress from there.

Since the new software up date my battery life is going down very fast. How can i fix this?

Ever since i updated my iphone 4 with the new software. My cell battery life is gone so fast. I dont know how to fix this and wondering if there is any one that can....

There are numerous posts in this forum on how to maximize battery life. Either look in the "More Like This" box to your right or do a forum search.

How about a version of the Sport with longer battery life?

While some(including myself) are frustrated that the Sport isn't Rockboxable, getting 2/3 more battery life than the Clip Zip using a battery 25% smaller is a great increase in power efficiency. This 120% increase in power efficiency is quite nice. It would be great though to be able to buy a version of the Clip Sport with 16GB built in memory, and a 440 mah battery(double the size of what the Sport has) built in, giving 50 hours of play time. I'm wondering if such a player could be priced at $80. Due to the 2000 song limit for each or card memory and internal memory, many will decide to use just a 16GB card in the player, as they already reach the 2000 song limit in under 16GB, as I did using 256kbps mp3 files. This makes having 16GB built in storage so much more useful.

Perhaps $70 or under would be much better.
