Help me about the ipod battery

Did the battery test as apple said to, but i only got about 8 hours out of it and ive only had it for about 1/2 months! Is this normal? Or is my ipod faulty in some way?
Paul

I managed to squeeze 14 and a half hours out the the black 4G that I had by doing the following.
Draining it and then FULLY charging it (left it plugged in a good while after the battery indicator said it was full).
Turned EQ off.
Turned Sound Check off.
Turned Shuffle off.
Set backlight timeout to minimum.
Populated it with files smaller than around 9 meg.
Set volume to around 40% (which was realistic for me in general use).
Locked it and left the buttons alone.
Left it overnight and it was still playing until afternoon the next day.
Also, in my experience new batteries (in any device) often don't reach their full potential until they have had a few charging cycles under their belt I only got about 6 hours after the first charge, then it got much better after a few drain/charge cycles.
Let us know how you get on.

You're not confusing this with a shared Photo Stream...?
Because the short answer is no, photos don't appear unless they were put there by someone with your Apple ID credentials. To rule out that possibility, change your Apple ID password by carefully following all these instructions:
iCloud: Change your iCloud account password
If you decide to change your password, and you also want to change your Apple ID, I recommend you do not concurrently change your Apple ID until sufficient time has passed and you are confident the password change has been effected on all your iOS devices. 24 hours ought to be more than enough.
It is not necessary to change your Apple ID unless it is an email address you no longer wish to use.

Can the ipod battery be damaged by freezing temperatures?

can the ipod battery be damaged by freezing temperatures?

From the "Tips and tricks to get the most out of your iPod's battery" article found at...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61434
It says...
Keep iPod at room temperature
iPod's battery works best when iPod is at room temperature, generally near 20° C, but you can use iPod anywhere between 0° to 35° C (about 32° to 95° F). If you have left iPod in the cold, let it warm up to room temperature before waking it from sleep. Otherwise, a low-battery icon may appear and iPod will not wake from sleep. If after warming up, iPod does not wake from sleep, connect the power adapter, and press the Menu and Play/Pause buttons until the Apple logo appears.
which doesn't really address what happens if you freeze the iPod when not being used, but clearly you shouldn't run the iPod when it is at freezing temperature.

The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on... What is wrong? Can photos and data be retrieved?

The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on... What is wrong? Can photos and data be retrieved?

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup

I heard about the iPod Nano recall over fire risk, I entered my info online and it said that I was eligible, but since early December I have not heard anything more from itunes/apple. In which time someone I know has sent off theirs and received their replacement nano already. Is there an email address I can email to request info? Would be much appreciated! Thank-you.

use the info you got in the email and check your repair status on apple's website

Questions about the ipod camera connector...

Hi,
i got some questions about the ipod camera connector.
1)Is the camera connector compatible with the Sony camera DSC-P93A ?
In fact, this camera got PTP protocol.
PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) Oui
Marque PIM (Print Image Matching) Oui
PictBridge™ Oui
So, do the camera need to have the three following protocols to be compatible with the camera connector ?
=>Mass Storage, PTP, and Type 4
Or maybe does it need only one of it??
2) Is it compatible with a USB memory card reader?
Thank you

Wel, if i've right understood what you said, my camera is compatible because it got PTP protocol ?
That's weird, cause i wrote a mail to sony to ask them about the compatibility of my camera, but they answered that it wasn't. But of course, i'll prefer to believe you than them !

Everything about the IPOD Classic 160 GB Battery

Dear All,
Just want to know how the battery is connected and placed inside the ipod classic 160GB model, can it be replaced by a user without using a soldering iron.Is it attached with a adhesive ?
Kindly discuss.
Thanks

With the new ipods, the issue isn't the battery connection so much as it is the shell itself. It is now extremely difficult to open the ipod, as they have metal catches around the inside of the case. From what I have read, the battery and HD are still user changable, IF you can get in without damaging the outer shell, which is much easier to do with the new design. This is also why most of the online battery replacement companies are still not showing as being able to change out the HD/battery on the classics.

Help - Did I lose my run data when the ipod battery died?

I was running today on a very low battery. As I approached the end of the run the battery went dead and the Ipod shut off.
Does the Nike+ record run information at mile markers or only when you end the run?

thanks

Help. about the ipod nano charged with usb 1.1

i just got the ipod nano. now i am charging it. according to the mannul, it will take 3hr to charge it by usb 2.0.
considering i only have usb 1.1, so my question is how long it wil take to charge the nano. until i wait for 6hr and the screen still shows do not disconnect. i can transfer the music and image to the nano. thanks.

Sorry, I'm not really sure how long the charge will take with USB 1.1, but I'd guess it would be way longer that "twice as long".
The "do not disconnect" will show as the display until you eject the iPod thru iTunes.
Now here the tricky part since I don't have a 1.1 USB. If you eject it thru iTunes, I believe the screen will show if it is still charging or "charged". So when you know you need to charge it, plug in to the `puter, then eject and leave it connected, to see what happens.
I do recommend getting the USB power adapter. For USD30.00, it is really worth it. Well, for me at least. I charge regularly (4 times a week) and only plug into my computer to add more music (maybe once a month). Your usage may be different, but it is so easy to come home and just plug it into the dock (plugged into the wall).

HELP ME!! ipod battery issues!!!!

hello everyone,
i have just purchased an ipod, and it has been less than 3 days since i did. the problem is that i only had time for an initial charge of about 2 hours (half the recommended full charge time), as the power to my house cut out. it is a fifth gen 30 gig video ipod, with a lith-ion battery, and this should not be that much of a problem, as these batteries are less affected by a less than required charge time. anyway, i have realised that the battery seems to lose its charge strangeley fast. the max is about 4 hours! im really scared, because i dont want this thing to be spoiled before i even have a chance to use it... PLEASE HELP!!!! i need any advice on how to solve this problem, and i hear this is a common issue so you guys must know about it.
thanking anyone who helps in advance,
cookieman

I believe you'll have to pay about $30 for shipping
If it's less than 6 months since purchase, there will be no charges.
I doubt they do anything in Pakistan. Fill out the iPod service request link posted and see.
If you have a friend going to the US, they could take it to an Apple store.
If they are going to be here for a few weeks, they could do service request themselves. It usually takes about 2 weeks from the time of request till it comes back.
If you are watching videos, for hours would be about the max time you will get.
If you are only listeneing to music, you should get more than that (14 hours on a 30GB). If you use the backlight, switch songs, amd stop/start all the time, you will get less.

A few IMPORTANT observations about the iPod Touch (MUST READ)

While doing research on iPod Touch (to purchase for myself), I discovered the following review http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/ipod/review/apple-ipod-touch-8gb-16gb/P0
It is by far a VERY detailed review of the iPod Touch.
One thing that i had noticed before was that on the comparison page of the iPod's the 8GB iPod touch states it can hold up to 1750 songs, while the iPod Nano 8GB can hold 2000 songs. Which lead me to ask why.
In the review, it says:
iPod nano 8GB = 7.41GB available free space
iPhone 8GB = 7.24GB available free space
iPod Touch = 7.08GB available free space
Now i understand that the iPod Touch and iPhone use OSX and that uses a large chunk of space, but why is there 160mb missing? You'd think that the iPod Touch would have MORE available space than the iPhone, since a LOT of the applications are missing, as well as there is less hardware installed = less drivers.
Now I kind of agree with the reviewer when he says that the iPod Touch is a downgrade from the iPhone. Technically speaking the iPod touch is the most expensive and top of the line in the iPod family, yet it suffers a huge loss when compared to the iPhone.
The following things are missing from the iPod touch (at the cost of $100 less): Dock, charger, camera, external speaker, microphone, battery life, screen quality, resilient back casing, Bluetooth, and several applications!
Now someone might ask, Saeid just get an iPhone then. But the problem is that the iPhone is NOT available in Canada (officially) and IF one day it does become available, chances are it would be with a contract on Rogers (i'm on Fido).
I look forward to your views on the matter. Perhaps i AM over looking a few things. I am a HUGE fan of Apple, i ask because i usually look at EVERY single aspect of something before i make a purchase.
Saeid.
P.s. Forgot to mention that in the review, it also states that the Sync (upload) time is much slower on the iPod Touch than the iPhone. The battery life one might argue is due to the fact that the Touch is smaller in size, but how would you explain the rest of the issues?

I am probably one of the few people on the planet who seldom uses a mobile phone. I have only a bare-bones phone plan. When I use a camera, I want one that takes high quality photos. At this point, I don't care that much about Bluetooth or a microphone.
I bought my Touch for the expanded music & video storage. I prefer flash memory to a hard drive so I didn't choose the iPod Classic. The Wi-fi is a bonus that works well for me. It would be nice if I had access to the Web all the time, but I don't want the ongoing monthly costs for an iPhone.
I've had my Touch for almost two months. It was an excellent choice for me. Chris Breen of Playlist revisits the Touch in his blog. Take a look at it for some good points: http://playlistmag.com/weblogs/ipodblog/index.php#61228

About the blackberry battery or something..

Good afternoon,
I have a question about my Blackberry 8900. Let me go:
Why does my blackberry battery run out fast, even I am not using it? its standby time is only 3-4 hours now. My battery is healthy (I've tested with my friend's Blackberry 8900, and it could stay more than 5 hours), I didn't turn on the BlackBerry Internet Service, I am not using anything, the running programs were only 5, [Messages],[Phone],[Home Screen],[Blackberry Messenger], and [Browser]. My WiFi was off, only the Mobile Networks which is ON.. My BlackBerry Messenger version is 5.0.1.41.. Oh great, I have the screen shot about the [Help-Me!]
Thanks in advance..
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Would you mind posting how you solved the issue? Just as I'm having the same problem and I've only had the phone for a month and always allowed the battery to drain before recharging so I know it can't be that.

General Questions about the iPod Touch

Hello,
I'm considering buying a new iPod touch after the Keynote Yesterday. I have a few questions though that I'm on the fence about:
1. Does the iPod Touch Mail Client Sync with the OSX Mail Client. Does it sync in Tiger? Does it sync in Leopard? Or does it only sync via .Mac
2. Does the Calendar Program allow you to create new events on the calendar like an iPhone, or can you only view existing events like on the iPod. What about the Address Book?
3. When the Wifi is not connected can you view your email messages?
4. When the SDK kit is released in February, will I be able to purchase developer's apps for the iPod Touch, or will they be exclusive to the iPhone?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

1. The mail client works with POP or IMAP, it does not "sync" with the OSX Mail app that I am aware of however if you are using OSX Mail to access a POP or IMAP account they can be configured to work together.
2. You can add events to the calendar as well as contacts to the address book directly
3. You can view emails w/o WiFi if you have configured Mail to do so
4. I don't have an official answer for this one, but I would assume the answer is yes.
Hope that helps, all of this information is avaliable on the iPod Touch product pages.
