How do I maximize the battery life for my iPod touch?

Hi,
I am the proud new owner of an iPod 5th generation. My question is how can I maximize the batteries lifetime? Is there a certain percentage the battery should stay in between  Should it be plugged in whenever possible, does that circumvent the battery and just keeps it alive until taken out, and then switches back to using the battery?
Anyway, any tips would be helpful. I already keep all features off that I don't need, such as bluetooth, messages, facetime etc.
Thanks, GreatAndRandom

  • How do I fix the battery life for my iPod touch?

    It has a very low battery life. I can only use apps for 1-2 hours. Please help me! Thanks

    See this article for different ways to preserver and extend your iPod's battery life and health.

    How old is the iPod and are you letting it charge to full capacity each time?  Batteries do wear out over time and lose their ability to maintain a full charge at max capacity. It could just be a sign that the battery is wearing out and in need of replacement.

  • The battery life on my ipod touch 4g is really poor any ideas?

    in stanby mode after a full charge from 10 percent to 100 percent in the night drops to about 20-50 percent in the morning ( 9 hours). bluetooth is off, i close all apps, screen brightness is 50 percent ( not that this affects it in standby mode), the wifi is on. wifi should not use tthis amount of power. Also when im playing or surfing on my ipod the battery drops from 100 percent after full charge not surface charge to 50 perecnt within 30 mins or usage again everything above ^ is on or off. Any ideas cause i dont really want to change ipods as it has a 15 pound screen protector on it which i dont have the money to waste on buying another pack. Also if i did have change it would i be able to swap ot for a white one?

    - When sleeping the iPod can use wifi and if it has trouble connecting it will keep trying and drain the battery.  I leave mine in airplane mode when sleeping. Otherwise it is frequenlty drained like you see on yours.
    - The rapid drop whe playing vido seems to indicae that something is wrong.
    - If your iPod is defective and under warranty, Apple will give you a refurbished one of the same model.

  • How can i extend the battery life of my iphone 4s? when i left it in standby mode when i saw in 5hours it drains to 5%, i thought when i leave the phone the percent is still the same. whant am i goin to do?

    How can i extend the battery life of my iphone 4s? when i left 50% it in standby mode when i saw in 5hours it drains to 5% i saw 45%, i thought when i leave the phone the percent is still the same. whant am i goin to do?

    I was not aware of the fact one could use ringtones as alarms, this will suffice! Although I foresee some very awkward times as the sound does not stop once I respond to the reminder (it keeps going for good five - ten seconds after I "stop" the reminder), but it's better than missing it altogether!
    Thank you very much!
    Regarding the Alarmed app, doesn't it have to be running to actually remind you?
    -Modular747: I don't know anyone who actually reads the terms of service agreement, those things are usually up to thirty, small print pages full of legal jargon. Rules, I do read - not the legal documents (also they often contradict the laws in my country, but that's a whole different story).
    I agree with you - the average customer support consultant mostly cares about keeping his job and earning his salary (don't we all?) and thus racking up completted tasks (i.e. getting rid of customers as fast as possible - in a good mood). The "threat" none the less is real, if a cell phone causes me more trouble than it is worth, I will indeed throw it away (I have done so before) - and recommend a different brand to anyone willing to listen.
    Don't get me wrong, I love Apple and I've been faithfully using and recommending their producs for twenty years now, not because of fanboyism, but because they earned it. This calendar issue, however, is like a toaster that doesn't automatically eject the toast at the set time. I see it as a major flaw and after googling around a bit I see that it's been around since at least 2007 (THAT'S SEVEN YEARS!!) so I strongly believe they are aware of this problem by now, but are choosing to ignore it for some mysterious reason and it really ****** me off.
    I will send the feedback but based on my observations I suspect the Send button is merely a cleverly disguised Delete button.

    Note that % battery on an iPod is not accurate. you will see large fluctuation in % battery and that is normal/expected.

    Take a look at this to make sure your settings are optimized to the best it can be.
    If all else fails, try and restore through iTunes, set up as a new iPhone and manually sync your apps and media back to your iPhone.
    If still persists after this, you might call Applecare and see if they can run a battery diagnogstics..

    How did it get on your ipod in the first place if not from your comptuer?
    Everything on your ipod should be on your computer and you should be syncing regularly.

  • How do I repair the white screen on my ipod touch?

    How do I repair the white screen on my ipod touch. I have tried to hard reset the ipod, however every time I press the top button to lock the screen, it goes to a white screen.

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
    There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

  • How do I add the app store to my ipod touch

    I have an iPod Touch and seemed to have lost the app store (And access to it).  How do I restore the App store to my iPod touch?

    Hello gmen3,
    Do you have at last iOS version 2.0 or later?  If so, make sure the App store hasn't been disabled from under the Restrictions setting.  To check, head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions. You might also want to make sure it wasn't move to a folder or to another page.
