Frozen Battery Eating Ipod

So everytime that I turn my I-pod off it dosn't really turn off it freezes. I can unfreeze it fine but the problem is that when it is frozen it uses up the battery so I can never relaly use my mini when I want it, because it dies. I have tried to restore the I-pod, and this did nothing at all. Any sugestions?

If it froze once then it is probaly just a glitch, but if you are see freezes on a regular basis then there could be something wrong with the ipod. I've had mine since December and it has frozen once or maybe twice.
One thing to try if it is freezing regularly is to restore the ipod. This would clear up any software problems that may have occured. This will also erase your ipod so make sure your music is backed up somewhere. To see how to restore click on "Support" and check the 5 R's under "iPod Issues".

HT201412 My computer is frozen with my iPod plugged in trying to sync. How can I eject it safely?

My computer is frozen and my iPod is plugged in, trying to sync. I can't eject my iPod with a frozen laptop. Any suggestions on how to unplug it without losing all my music?

All you can do is force close iTunes, disconnect the iPod, reboot the computer and see is you can sync or if a restore is required.

Battery for iPod touch 3

Hi...I bought a battery for ipod touch 3 online, and really my bad if won't work. I have a 3rd gen 8gb which is more like the 2nd gen than other 3rd gens. I now see on the ebay ad that this isn't for the itouch 3 gen 8gb but for the 16 and 32 gb. I have read elsewhere that they basically use the same batteries but the battery for the 3 gen w 16 or 32gbs is a little thinner, but both have the same power...I've also seen some sell the same battery for both. Question: do you believe it will work or not...I guess I could return or buy another...but since I have and if anyone knows it will work, then I would not bother...Any advice welcome. Thanks, Rick

If you're that uncertain about the replacement part itself, it's probably not a good idea for you to replace the battery yourself. Return it.

Should a battery for ipod be completely drained before recharging or can I recharge each night no matter how low it is?

Should a battery for ipod be completely drained before recharging or can I recharge each night no matter how low it is?

Chare it whenever you want. You can even keep it tethered to your computer 24/7. Just make sure that you fully drain and then charge it about once a month.
One "charge cycle" each month but that does not imply "fully drain." According to Apple:
A charge cycle means using all of the battery’s power, but that doesn’t necessarily mean a single charge. For instance, you could listen to your iPod for a few hours one day, using half its power, and then recharge it fully. If you did the same thing the next day, it would count as one charge cycle, not two, so you may take several days to complete a cycle. Each time you complete a charge cycle, it diminishes battery capacity slightly, but you can put notebook, iPod, and iPhone batteries through many charge cycles before they will only hold 80% of original battery capacity. As with other rechargeable batteries, you may eventually need to replace your battery.

Do not disconnect screen is frozen on my ipod

I have a video IPod 30G. I got a new computer and I downloaded the new itunes 7.0. It recognized my ipod but it would not let me add my current 1800 songs to the library. I ejected my ipod on itunes several times and nothing happened. I went ahead and disconnected my ipod from the usb connector like I've done before and now it froze and the wording "do not disconnect" is frozen on the bottom of my screen. I tried to reset it, but it's still frozen. I tried to connect it back again and now it's not recognizing my ipod in itunes or my computer. When I do connect it, it does not regcognize my device? I ran a diagnostic through itunes and it shows that there is a connection problem w/ my ipod. What can I do? I've tried to turn it off and on and nothing is working. Please help!!

I drained the battery, and the "do not disconnect" screen finally came off.... I must have reset my ipod, I lost all my 1800+ songs,. But I have a new problem, when I connect it to the usb port, itunes opens up but has an error message saying to go to the summary preference and select restore to factory setting??? I don't show that anywhere in my IPOD, where is the "summary" icon? My computer can recognize it as a drive but itunes can't...what do I do now..?

Put new battery in ipod. works fine but windows doesnt see

a few days ago I successfully put a new battery in my ipod.
it has worked fine: charges plays all the music nothing weird.
Then I tried to hook it up to my computer and my itunes doesnt recognize it, windows sees it but I cant access it (says Ipod on drive G). i am in the process of updating it (2005-11-17) now but it appears to be frozen. the drive is full so i dont really know how long it will take and maybe its not frozen.
i also got this prompt:
- drive not ready prompt:
"the drive is not ready for use; its door may be open. Please check drive and make sure that a disk is insterted and that the drive door is closed"
I did theother 4 R's as well before this and even changed the cable just to make sure. any thoughts???

they are these blue straight plastic things with a little wedge hook doo dad on the end. they couldnt open the ipod initially , i used an exacto knife and pryed it open a little then got the plastics in there. Like changing a bike tube they give you two "irons" to work with. one to hold it open and the other to slid towards the top and bottom. it pops right open. you need to open it from the sides not the bottom or top. The mini i have no idea how to open i also thing the nano is built like the mini. I am sure if you google the battery replacement product it comes with instructions (but make sure you have good eyes, the writing and examples are TINY.

Frozen screen on iPod

My iPod screen is frozen on a black screen with an arrow in the upper left and the time bar at the bottom at 00:00. It does not show up in the Source panel when connected to iTunes and it will not reset by toggling the Hold button then holding down the Menu button. I'm stumped.
Thanks,
Jon

The problem resolved itself. Because the iPod would not respond to any commands, it eventually drained the battery and when I recharged it, everything was fine.

Completely Frozen 4th Gen IPod

Its frozen in a block of ice... hehe
I have a 40gig 4th gen monochrome ipod which froze on me today. I was running with it. I had it set to shuffle with the hold on. Next thing I realize, it goes to the next song, and thats it. Frozen. I unhold it, and the hold icon is still there. The clock at the top is still the same as when it froze, nothing works. I tried turning it off, and I can't; I can still hear the drive spinning.
I wanted to reset, but when I connected to the comp, itunes didn't pick it up. When I docked it to the power dock it made the sound like it connected.
So there it is stuck. I don't know if its still functioning or if its a screen problem (the battery level is still the same even though its running)
What to do?

Ok so i just put into Disk Mode and have it connected to my computer, hopefully it will work after awhile

Frozen 1st gen ipod touch

My 1st gen. ipod touch is completely frozen. It is not even recognized when I connect it to itunes. I have tried restarting it several times, but that hasn't helped. When it restarts, it shows the red flash for battery charge, then goes to apple screen, then it stays stuck on apple screen - with frozen "timer". Any suggestions on how to get this back???

Frozen Battery Icon

I'm very confused. My ipod displays a frowny faced ipod with an exclimation point next to it. So i plugged it in to my computer to restore it. But when i do that, it flashes from the apple, to the frown, to the battery icon, which it freezes on. I can't restore the ipod, because my computer won't recognize it, and it won't recognize it because it's frozen (i think). Also, restarting it (toggleing off and on.....) does nothing. SOMEBODY, HELP!!!!!!

First off, Sad iPod = iPod can't load the software.
To put your iPod into disk mode, you generally hold down the fast forward and reverse buttons at the same time while the Apple logo's on the screen after resetting. I think -- don't quote me on this -- that for click-wheel iPods (that's iPod mini, nano, and newer full-size iPods) you reset the iPod, then hold the select and menu buttons simultaneously. You'll know you're in disk mode when, if your iPod's not connected, you see "OK to Disconnect" or if your iPod's connected to your PC, you see "Do Not Disconnect".
Disk mode doesn't need the software on your iPod's hard drive, so it's guaranteed to start unless something's really bad. Once you've done that, you should be able to use the iPod software updater to restore your iPod to factory condition.
If that still doesn't work, call Apple. It may mean that the hard drive or logic board in your iPod is malfunctioning.

Frozen 4th Gen Ipod 40gb

My ipod is frozen with the light on, it says its playing but nothing is happening! Clicking the click wheel does nothing and holding the center button and pause at the same time to reset does nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've also tried plugging it into the computer to try to reset from itunes but itunes doesn't recognize it either probably because its frozen.

I would just let it run out of power. That will completely reset the iPod. You can try connecting to the computer after it shuts off from lack of power.
Alternately, if you have previously opened the iPod, and have the plastic tools, you can open it and disconnect the battery. Leave it disconnected for a few minutes and then reconnect.
If the problem recurs, your iPod may have a problem with the hard drive (which was probably the reason it locked up). Reformatting the iPod's hard drive using Windows, and then using Restore in iTunes may fix the problem, at least temporarily. When reformatting, use the full format.

My iPad Mini battery eat fast

I went to Pawn Shop and bought iPad.Mini few days ago. I notice that the iPad Mini battery go fast. My iPod Touch 5th don' t eat fast like mini. How do I fix it ?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) 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 (2.5W, 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
http://www.macblend.com/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.

The replacement battery for Ipod nano true or false

I was tryin to figure out if it was true that you can't replace your battery in an Ipod nano unless you have good sodering skills or unless you send it in and replace it. Because I bought a third party replacement battery for my Ipod Nano, and it gave me the instructions to the normal Ipod. Then I saw a lot of discussion posts saying that you can replace the battery for an Ipod Nano, so I need to know if you can or can't.

It is possible...
If you Google search for it, you can probably find instructions (with pictures) on how to do it. Basically, you need to use something (such as a tiny flathead screwdriver or a putty knife) to separate the plastic front case from the aluminum back case. Then, you can disconnect the battery that's inside of it and connect your new battery. Most third party iPod batteries recommend charging it completely before first use.
It is, however, easier to send your iPod in for service for a battery issue, and just have them replace your iPod for you.

To my knowledge, you don't need any exceptional soldering skills. I've replaced batteries in some older iPods, and needed nothing but a tiny flathead screwdriver that I use to do general maintenance on my saxophone.
