Does Using Your iPod Touch While It's Charging Waste Charge Cycles?

If my iPod Touch is 100% charged and I use it while it is plugged in to my wall charger will it waste charge cycles as I use it?

But what if I'm playing apps on my iPod Touch...will the power from the wall power the iPod or will it use some of the battery in the ipod then charge at the same time, wasting charge cycles.

  • Can I use my iPod touch while it's charging?

    Hi, I've tried to research this so I wouldn't have to ask, but have had no luck. So, my question is, can you use your iPod Touch while it is plugged into the charger? Would that do any damage to the iPod? Thanks, Diane

    Axel, I meant to also mark your response as Solved, but I checked Helpful by mistake. Hope that didn't take any "points" away from you. Diane

  • If you use your iPod Touch while its charging, will it ruin the battery life/battery?

    I have an iPod Touch 5th gen. and people say that if you use your iPod/iPhone while its charging, the battery life will deacrease or the battery will be ruined/shot

    However, you should almost fully discharge and fully charge the battery monthly otherwise you will degrade the battery.

  • How do you use your iPod Touch?

    I'm thinking of buying an ipod touch 5th gen, but I have to convince myself that it would help me significantly before I drop $300 on a device. My question: how do you use your iPod Touch, aka, what things have helped you significantly, excluding games? I've heard a ton about how awesome the new version is, and everything about its camera and retina display, but I want to know that I would actually use one first....
    Thanks.

    Surf the web from bed and coffee shops/bookstores.  When in a store that has WiFi I may research a product that looks interesting to buy.
    It is a camera that is always with you (assuming you always take it with you), so you can capture that picture that happens once in a life time.  Also the camera is great when shopping for "Big Ticket" items as you can take pictures to remind you of things you were looking at so you can do additional research at home before making your final decision.
    Check my mail from bed and coffee shops/bookstores, etc... when WiFi is available.
    Use it as an alarm clock, meeting reminder, todo reminder.
    Take notes (not school notes, just ideas, stuff I maybe want to buy, useful information I may pick up in a bookstore, books I may want to buy, etc...)
    Contains my contacts for friends, family, and businesses (plumber, dentist, doctor, etc...)
    Plays music, or in my case, I listen to podcasts
    Reading ebooks.  I use it a lot to read ebooks.  It is always with me, so I can read a book anywhere, such as waiting in a doctor/dentist office, at the motor vehicle registry.  And reading in bed is great as when you fall asleep, it remembers what page you were on vs that book that drops onto your face and wakes you back up while at the same time loosing your page
    The Maps app is great for finding where something is located, and plotting how to get there (not as good as having an iPhone with GPS, but still useful).  Also the satellite images make it easier to visualize where you are going.
    When connected to WiFi it can be used for Facetime when calling a friend or family member that also has an iOS device.  Seeing a loved one when they are not near can be emotionally satisfying.  You can also make skype calls.
    I use 1Password to store all my passwords.  It keeps them secure, I always have them with me, and I do not need to use the same password over and over again, or make them too simple to remember.  1Password has a built-in browser so you it can substitute the correct password for the web site you are visting without actually needing to look it up.
    1Password related but not passwords.  Because 1Password encrypts all the data it holds, I can also store sensitive information (such as medical conditions, or other information I do not want made public should my device be lost or stolen), yet always have that information with me should I need it.
    I can get the weather.  This week, I've been using an app to get high/low Tide infromation, plus sunrise information.  But getting weather info when you wake up so you can plan your day and if you need to shovel the driveway before going to work.  I find it easier to get the weather from my iOS device than it is to use my laptop or turn on the Weather Channel.
    Calclator.  2+2 = 4, but there are times you do need to get something right, and calculators are useful. They have all kinds available, including hexidecimal calculators for programmers.
    RSS newsfeed reader (I follow about 20+ feeds, including these discussions groups via RSS feeds).
    Travel services.  Most airports have WiFi, and you can get updated travel info for your flights via some speciallized travel apps.
    If you are into tracking your car mileage, gas usage, maintenance costs, etc..., there are apps for that.
    While you can watch video on your iOS device (downloaded movies, YouTube), you can also stream movies from services such as Netflix.  This can be useful when traveling, or if you are stuck in bed with a cold, or if you have lost control of the "Remote" and do not want to watch "Dancing with the Stars"
    TV related, there are apps that will give you the TV schedule for your area, so you can browse the shows on this evening.
    List.  You can keep lists, including grocery shopping lists, items to pack for a trip lists, things to do for that bathroom remodel, things you need to get before school starts, Christmas lists, etc....  NOTE:  Ideas for Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary gifts may come anytime during the year, but if you do not write them down, you may be scratching your head when the event arrives.  Putting them in a list can help you later on.
    You can get a Level app.  You may laugh, but I have actually used my iOS device to check if something was level.  It was there, and a carpenters level was not.  Not perfect, but it did what I needed at the time.
    Finding a good resturante (Yelp, Urbanspoon, etc...).  The iOS device can be very helpful in finding a good nearby place to eat when away from home, or even discovering a new play where you live to get out of that eat at the same place rut.
    That is some of the things I use my iOS device for.

  • Is it possible to use your iPod Touch 4th Gen from your computer?

    I have an iPod Touch 4th Gen. And I broke the screen, the sent it in to get fixed... the people put the screen on wrong. It worked for a while, then it stopped working. I was trying to use it one day, and I accedentaly put on the curtain mode. So now, I have an iPod Touch with the I can't use. I haven't sent it in yet though. So in the mean time I've been trying to find a way to use my iPod without actually using my iPod. If you get what I'm saying.
    Does anyone know how I can use my iPod without actually "using it"?
    Please you'd save my life!

    With the exception of using a docking station to play music, there is no way to "use" your iPod through your computer.
    And what the heck is "curtain mode"?

  • HT4623 How would you update your iPod Touch using your iPod touch?

    I want to update the software on my iPod Touch 4th Generation from my iPod Touch itself. I can't figure out how to do it, though. In the past, it has just asked me to update, but now, it doesn't do that. Anyone with any information on how to update your iPod touch software, it would be greatly appreciated if you shared your knowledge with me. Thanks so much!(:

    See:
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the iPad already has iOS you can go to Settings>gener>wifi update and update via wifi. Otherwise yu will have to connect to iTunes and update via iTunes.
    The current iOS is iOS 6.

  • Using my ipod touch while soaking in the tub

    Will the steam or moisture hurt my ipod touch if I use it while soaking in the bathtub? I like to read books on it. Thanks

    There was an unscientific experiment where an iPhone was allowed to get cold, and taken into a warm place, where the typical moisture in the air could condense on very cold surfaces. This caused the iPhone moisture indicator to turn pink.
    <http://cputer.com/2010/02/20/winter-weather-may-trigger-your-iphones-moisture-i ndicator-broken/>
    I would expect a nice hot bath to put out the kind of moisture that might reproduce the cold weather experiment.
    Your mileage may vary

  • Is there any way to permanently disable(not usable) your iPod touch while you still have it?

    Is there any way to permanently disable Itouch 4th gen

    Only password on lock screen and restrictions for certain apps could be helpful in that case.
    But restoring will remove this protection and delete all data, so make sure that other people can not take your iPod away from you.
    Other than that, no.

  • IPad charger used for iPod Touch, now won't charge iPad

    Hello everyone! I need help. :( This is what happened. i charged my iPod Touch with the charger that came with my iPad 2 and the iPod charged okay. Now I connected the charger to my iPad and there was no response at all (no charging or not charging sign).
    This is the second time this happened. The first time was when my aunt used the iPad charger for her iPhone 4 which charged okay. When I used it for my iPad after, it did not work as in now. What I did the first time was connect the charger's detachable head (see image http://www.thefonestuff.com/product_images/c/441/MB706_AV1__57136_zoom.jpg) to a Macbook charger. The Macbook charged okay and when I reconnected it to my iPad, the iPad began to charge as usual.
    I don't understand what happened. Was the charger somewhat "inactivated" in both instances because it was connected to a device that required a different amount of power? Without the Macbook charger, how can I "restore" the charger to its "iPad-optimized" state?
    Thank you for your reply!

    Icedgreco-
    Changing the detachable head and changing it back, might wiggle an internal connection that is loose inside either the charger or the head.
    It is also possible your charger cable has a bad connection.  Either way, I think you need to contact Apple about it.

  • Adding an event to your iCal on your iPod touch

    So...I understand you can sync the iPod touch's iCal with a calendar on your main computer (using Entourage, outlook, or simply iCal.) BUT....can you add events directly into your Ipod touch...and then simply view both calendars at the same time like you can do using iCal on your desktop? Basically, use your Ipod touch as a sort of palm pilot.
    Any info on this would be great.

    No, you can't do this. Apple have decided that iPod Touch users shouldn't be allowed to add calendar entries and have broken the calendar.
    You can let Apple know we want the calendar fixed by filling out the form at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    It only takes a minute and it's the best way we have of telling them we don't want a crippled calendar.

  • How can I use my iPod Touch as a remote for iTunes, while connected via USB?

    I was wondering if I could use my iPod touch as a remote/iTunes extension while it is connected to my computer via usb.
    It would be highly practical to control my music from there, since it is charging right by my side while I'm at my computer.
    Remote is not really an option, my computer doesn't have bluetooth or any connectivity. Something over wifi would work, but there's a usb connection right there that's begging to be used.
    Thanks

    You can't do it via USB.  Go to the App store and download/install the Apple Remote app.  It can control iTunes on your computer via wifi.
