Does the iTouch battery discharge while it is turned off?

I've fully charged my 32 GB iTouch and then not used it for several days. When I turn it on the battery is almost dead. Why is the battery discharging while it is off? How can I stop this?

This issue is revisited in several threads on this forum. You can read a myriad of theories but to my estimation, the only real answer can be found in [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11987618#11987618|Th e sad truth about iPod/iPhone battery life].
It basically boils down to using iTunes to perform the "Restore" to factory settings.
The fact of the matter is that it could be WiFi, Notifications, multi-tasking (even if 2nd Gen iPods do support it) or a thousand other things. The only thing I can save for sure is that there are deep, system level settings that are either corrupt or, most likely, obsolete. Settings that vary so widely from user to user that the only one can be certain that they have all been eliminated is to flush them all and start over.
Not a very scientific solution, but an effective one.
If you find this suggestion ludicrous and unreasonable, feel free to read my other posts on the topic. You'll find me to be a confederate.

  • How long is the iPad battery last while watching video on YouTube with 3G?

    How long is the iPad2 battery last while watching video on YouTube with 3G?

    My iPad 2 battery can use only ~7 hours 15mins when surfing the web using cellular data network. Is it normal?
    I would say that's normal. Cellular uses more power than wifi. Your screen brightness is also a factor. Lower the screen brightness & battery will last longer.
    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%.
    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.

  • How long does the IPhone5c battery last for without hardly any usage with about 2/3 to 3/4 left?

    How long does the IPhone5c battery last for without hardly any usage with about 2/3 to 3/4 left?
    Has the side affect of charging, where the battery's life gradually decreases overall with each charge, been fixed ?

    Eric,
    They did say 12-14 hours, but as is always the case with such estimates, they invariably quote the 'best possible scenario' and almost never mirror 'real world' conditions.
    If, from a fully charged position, you simply switch on your nano, and set it to continuously play through a long set of songs, with EQ off, backlight off, modest volume (50%) don't touch it during playback, then you might just get somewhere near this figure - and if you don't then it's either not been conditioned properly or it's faulty.
    If you use it like me, daily for a couple of hours, with 2 secs backlight and switch songs regularly, using fairly high volumes then 6-8 hours is more likely. It'll even drain when it's not in use, even in sleep mode, albeit very slowly. They also tend to drain more quickly before they've been through their first few charge cycles (the conditioning period).
    Personally I haven't got a problem with this though I can understand why some people have. It's not very impressive in this respect. Apple should be able to come up with something much better - maybe they should talk to Sony

  • Does the iTouch have GPS?

    Does the iTouch come with GPS or is that extra?

    No GPS.
    For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location.

    my itunes need a update and i pluged in my ipod awhile doing the updat now my ipod won't turn on and the screen has a itunes ion on it what should i do? i really need the help

    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.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I wanted to calibrate the battery my new macbook pro turns off

    You should perform this procedure when you first use your computer? is this true? new macbook pro on may 11 2010 what happed was today on may 22 2010 i wanted to calibrate the battery my new macbook pro turns off when it runs out of battery. 3 times Typically, when macs run out of battery, they go into sleep mode. However mine skips this completely and just turns off. WHY? does this mean the battery is bad?
    Resetting the PRAM (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html) fixed the problem in my case. then i did the calibrate the battery again this time it went to sleep not shut down i did this 3 more times why?
    the 3 forced shut downs without entering SafeSleep. with logs indicating improper shutdown, will that cause severe corruption to the os and do i have to reinstall the os now?2.66 ghz 2010

    the 9 more 4 in 10.6.4 forced shut downs without entering SafeSleep. with logs indicating improper shutdown, will that cause severe corruption to the os and do i have to reinstall the os now?2.66 ghz 2010 but if it happens again you should try
    i hate to do this reinstalling the OS, if this do not work also, then you should call apple, or take your MBP to an apple store. on june 24 2010 i am going to talk to spence about this. so what do i do now? this happed on june 16 2010 4 more times
    without entering SafeSleep. only one time it worked on 10.6.4

    I have an iPhone 5 and lately the battery won't last, it turns off at 20%, what could it be? I have to recharge 3 times per day

    I heard from an apple specilist once that it is good to let your iPhone die atleast once a month. My iPhone 5 battery lasts all day if I charge it before I go to bed. Try not using your iPhone when it is charging. If you don't notice a difference soon, consult with the apple store

  • When you turn on the ipad2 it does not start up properly.  The rotating disk that happens when you turn off the ipad appears after the apple logo comes up

    When you turn on the ipad2 it does not start up properly.  The rotating disk that happens when you turn off the ipad appears after the apple logo comes up during start-up and stays there for ten minutes.  Then, the ipad will start up properly.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I would have updates for my phone but they paused like 3/4th of the way.. i would have to turn off my phone just so it could finish.. does that happen to anyone else?

    I would have updates for my phone but they paused like 3/4th of the way.. i would have to turn off my phone just so it could finish.. does that happen to anyone else?

    The easiest thing to do is a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After that, go to the app in question and tap on it. This should restart the download and finish it, as long as you have a solid internet connection.

  • With the new iOS 7 - how do you turn off previously viewed app's like the previous iOS to save battery life?

    Before I updated to the new iOS - I was able to turn off app's by tapping the bottom button twice and then placing and holding my finger on the app - I can't do that with the new OS and it quickly wastes battery life.  What can I do?

    Double click on the Home button. Swipe left-right to view the previously opened apps. Swipe UP to close them.

  • What does the core crypto kernel module in IOS comprise off?

    What does the core crypto kernel module in IOS comprise off? Basically trying to figure out if the new iphone & ipads are FIPS 140-2 compliant. (iphone 5 or 6 & ipad 3rd gen and above). Apple and NIST state that the Apple IOS core crypto kernel module v4.0 is validated FIPS 104-2 BUT what we don't know is that whether the core crypto kernel module covers the complete device or just some pieces and modules of the device ?

    Doubtful anyone here would know that as we don't work for Apple and know nothing more than what Apple has made public in their FIPS documentation.,
