Help, my battery died!

So... I sent in my original battery about this time last year because of the battery recall. After a while I noticed that my new battery overheated a lot more than the original one... probably a lot more prone to fires than the last one.
Finally, last week, it died. Ever since then I've tried everything. I restarted my PMU, I tried talking to people over phone support (one person hung up on me) and people at the store. But since I do not have Apple Care, I basically can't do anything about it. Even though batteries are supposed to last around 3 yrs... how come this one lasts about a year, more or less?
Can someone help me with this frustrating issue?! And no, this battery isn't eligible under the battery recall even though it overheated a lot more.

Then you've got a bricked dead device.
You can try again to try to wipe and reload the operating system if you want. You will need to use BBSAK or JL_Cmder to wipe the device and subsequently load the OS to the device. Follow the instructions here:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/How_do_I_wipe_the_BlackBerry_using_Jl_Cmder%3F
And if any of that doesn't work, I'd return to say it's a moisture problem. I've seen it all too often. IF it is moisture and you continue to use the device, you're just damaging it further.

Also, I can't import my photos to my Windows 7 PC.

Try rebooting your iPhone (holding the home button and sleep/wake button together until the apple logo appear)

My ipod battery died and now it won't recharge help!

My battery was about dead so I left it in the car but the battery died before I got home. Now it won't turn on, charge or even get recognized by Itunes. I've tried holding the home and power button but nothing. Any help would be great. Thanks

Seriously? If your phone's not working, bring it to Apple for evaluation.

File corrupt whilst working on it when battery died?!! why?! help?

Hey everyone,
I use a Macbook Pro and I've been working on a really important file in Flash CS3 for the past week, and whilst working on the latest version outside yesterday, my battery died suddenly (it had run down, but no message came up to warn me)...
When I restarted my Macbook and tried to reopen this file it came and still comes up with the message "Failed to open document"... All my other files are fine, it's just the file I was working on.
Another message appeared only once, saying something like "Javascript error... cannot find file" but I haven't been able to get that message up again to note it down in full.
Does anyone have any suggestions?? Is there any file recovery software I can use? (preferably free! I'm a student!!) Is there an explanation to why this has happened?? It shouldn't have!
Please help if you can think of anything! I can't even find an apple support number that appears relevant... This file is really important, I've lost days of work that I need asap!
Is there any hope?
Thanks,
Hannah

I have no idea if it is possible to recover the file. Never, ever edit the only copy of a file. It should have been backed up to a different location after every update to the file, preferably under different names so you could roll back to previous versions at any time. Thumb drives are cheap insurance against the problem that you encountered. Does CS3 make it's own backup copies?

Help! My pictures are missing after my battery died during an upload!

Help! My mac battery died while uploading pics from my iphone. When I rebooted the computer and opened Iphoto, all of my albums were there with what I assume to be the correct number of photos but in their place was the same photo over and over where the thumbnail should be. If I click on the photo, the correct one shows up. I saw a video on you tube that said to hit alt command while opening Iphoto to rebuild the database, but it says to back up the photos first. 1. I'm scared to do anything at this point. Any suggestions welcome please! This is the past 6 years of my life...marriage, house, baby!!

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window rebud thumbnails, if still needed repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

Help! My iPhone 5 wont turn on after battery died. iPhone is not reponding to charger or anything I have tried... Hard reset is not in option beacuse iPhone is turned off.

Your only chance is letting it charge for about 10min, then connecting it in recovery mode, explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If it does not charge at all, you'll have to get it serviced by Apple.

Iphone 4 battery dying rather too fast plus overheating

Using Iphone 4 for 3 weeks now it was working fine when i used it , now it has stopped going into landscape mode (I have checked it aint locked in portrail mode either) it overheats like an old Nokia smartphone and the battery died by 46% in 1h15min talk via handsfree and no app running in the background.
Went to a apple retail store they said since iphone 4 is not launched in india yet (is some from apple listening to this, y is it not here wen ipad 2 is) hence they cant give me any service . I bought it factory unlocked from singapore ........
Someone plz help me out i just wanted to buy a phone and forget about all the UI , OS issues ...now i m scared it might just blast in my hand
HELPPPPPP!!!!

Hi Lawrence
Thanks for your time
I tried both the steps u told me already, didnt help as extra precaution have deleted all apps save 1 : Wat app and yet within 5 hours i have lost 50% battery and haven't used much except may be 3o mins talk n few sms.
I think the problem started after i updated the new ios and refuses to go , my phone aint going to landscape mode either and yes it aint locked in portrail .

How do i fix my issue: Apple Logo flashes on and off after iphone battery died during IOS update?

I've tried the methods I've seen on youtube and other iphone tech help sites but I am still having the same problem. Today while updating to IOS 7 my iphone 4 battery died and I didnt have a charger, now that I am home an I put in on the charger I notice the apple logo just flashes on and off. I've tried to restores using the DFU mode with the home and power button but that only seem to stop the logo from flashing and even then the iphone still isnt recognised by the pc to restore, Is there any other way i can go about fixing this problem!!!!

You can try the steps recommended in the User Guide. If they don't work bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

The only way to get it back is a hard reset or let the battery die and then plug in the charger. The brightness is up and the power stays on while screen is black.
This is the second macbook pro i have owned in the past two weeks. I am ready to return it for good if this is a chronic issue. Please help if you have had this same issue.

Try a SMC reset:

Try a NVRAM/PRAM reset:

If no joy, take it back, and take full advantage of your warranty!
You also may want to let Apple know about this as well:

Battery dying faster than normal and I have been to the Apple Store and battery is fine

Is anyone else experiencing this? Both my iPad and my iPhone 5 started to have the battery die 2x faster after the latest upgrade. I have reset it without losing data and I am about to reset one of them back to original. Any one have any suggestions? I am thinking that one of my apps is trying to always load or search for wifi but not sure and don't know how to figure out which one it is.
I have been to the Apple store and they have checked my batteries and both are fine. The staff suggested that I let the battery die right down and completely charge it and then shut it down for a few seconds. so that the device is " clean" and then turn it back on but that didn't work at all.

You can poke around in the settings. There's a lot of stuff defaulted to on that you may not need. Such as notifications. Background app update, background app update. Try turning those off and see if that helps.

Help, my battery died!
