How long is the Lifespan of the nanos

I was at the apple store today and overheard that the ipod nano's battery only last 1 to 2 years and then its over with and worthless.
is this true ?
Justin

Justin,
If the gas tank in your car is empty, do you trash the car and buy a new one? Just wondering. You should have listened to the entire conversation, or asked a question while you were there. The Nano battery is good for 400-500 complete charge/discharge cycles. If the battery fails, Apple or a 3rd party can replace it.

  • How long does the nano take to ship?!?

    I ordered my Nano about 4 or 5 days ago and it still says it is processing my order. Whats with that, does anybody know how long it is going to take?

    I ordered a 2gb black nano on Sunday night. The apple site says that the order has been shipped and gives me a tracking code for a shipping service called same day right away, or something. But the site says that there is no such tracking number in their database. The email I have says that it takes up to 24 hours for it to post, but it's been at least 48.
    I've also heard of some people getting their nano's almost immediately after ordering them without paying extra for the 3 - 5 day shipping, just wanted to see how many that happened for.. I'm hoping i'll be one of the lucky ones!

  • How long does the process take to get a nano repaired or replaced?

    Usually just a few days... they very seldom (if ever) repair them. You'll usually get either a new or refurbished replacement.

  • How long does the full charge last?

    How long does the battery last on a full charge

    Hi Jason,
    The iPod nano (3rd Generation) has a battery life of 24 hours of music playback and 5 hours of video playback. This will deteriorate over time as the battery becomes consumed. Total charge time should be around 3 hours.

  • How long does the IPhone5c battery last for without hardly any usage with about 2/3 to 3/4 left?

    How long does the IPhone5c battery last for without hardly any usage with about 2/3 to 3/4 left?
    Has the side affect of charging, where the battery's life gradually decreases overall with each charge, been fixed ?

    Eric,
    They did say 12-14 hours, but as is always the case with such estimates, they invariably quote the 'best possible scenario' and almost never mirror 'real world' conditions.
    If, from a fully charged position, you simply switch on your nano, and set it to continuously play through a long set of songs, with EQ off, backlight off, modest volume (50%) don't touch it during playback, then you might just get somewhere near this figure - and if you don't then it's either not been conditioned properly or it's faulty.
    If you use it like me, daily for a couple of hours, with 2 secs backlight and switch songs regularly, using fairly high volumes then 6-8 hours is more likely. It'll even drain when it's not in use, even in sleep mode, albeit very slowly. They also tend to drain more quickly before they've been through their first few charge cycles (the conditioning period).
    Personally I haven't got a problem with this though I can understand why some people have. It's not very impressive in this respect. Apple should be able to come up with something much better - maybe they should talk to Sony

    Hello, I got exactly the same problem. I bought two iPod Nano 2 GB one for me and one for my wif and hers was just ok. Mine on the contrary got a message from itunes that was not possible to transfer the musics to my iPod because there was no space on disk. And this without using it. I installed the updater from january 2006, but when trying to connect and update it there's a huge delay and the iPod Nano screen continues with the Do not disconnect message. Then I tried to restore it but it's displaying the same message for more than two hours. I am going to shut the restore dialog box and then disconnect it from windows and try to see how it goes...
    If you have any ideas please give me some help.

  • My 1st generation Time Capsule/2007 keeps shutting off and disconnecting from internet?  What could be the problem?  How long do the Time Capsules usually last?

    My 1st generation Time Capsule/2007 keeps shutting off and disconnecting from internet?  What could be the problem?  How long do the Time Capsules usually last?

    That it is still working is miraclous.. most have died.. lots started flaking out at 18months to 2years..
    See deadtimecapsule.org
    The few that remained now seem to have reached EOL.. you can repair if you have some skills.. fairly cheaply.
    But it is well and truly time to replace.

  • HT4623 Hi!My iPAD lost its charge fast !!I've got an iPAD capacity 57,1GB and it has available 55,1GB ,version 7.0.4 .I'd like to know how long does the battery last when it is 100 % charged.

    Hi!I've just installed the iOS 7.0.4 operating system and the battery lost its charge at an incredibly speed.I'd like to know how long does the battery last if everything is right when it has 100% charge.Thanks!

    I`m `propping` up this thread to to the top of the forums again as it`s been three months and not a single community member or Apple support personnel have replied, which I find discouraging.
    I`ve tried everything - both the iOS device(s) and Apple TV have been upgraded (albeit reluctantly) to the latest versions, since iOS 7 looks like crap compared to iOS 6. Both use the same WiFi network. Bluetooth is set to `off`, as per the online tutorials on the Apple Support page.
    I also tried shutting all of them down, including the router, waiting 30 seconds and turning the router, then the Apple TV then the iOS device on sequentially with 30 seconds in between each, again as per this discussion forum, and still nothing.
    Why can Apple not make a technology, such as AirPlay, work with greater than 10%?
    Any other ideas?
    Come on, people.
    Thanks,
    Doug

  • HT5262 How long should the icloud back up take?

    How long should the iCloud back up take? I only have 4gb of storage but it has taken almost an hour already with approximately 2 hours remaining. 

    Hi RMaskery14,
    If you are concerned about the time your iCloud backup is taking, you may find the following article helpful:
    My backup is taking a long time to finish.
    Backing up and restoring takes time, especially if you have a lot of data or a slow connection. Depending on the size of your backup and the speed of your network, you may need more time than expected to complete the process. Using a reliable connection when backing up your device is highly recommended.

  • I refurbished my macbook air 7 months ago because there was a problem with the steady state drive. Now my battery seems to be dead again. How long does the warranty last? Do I need to pay for a new battery?

    I refurbished my macbook air 7 months ago because there was a problem with the steady state drive. Now my battery seems to be dead again. How long does the warranty last? Do I need to pay for a new battery?

    As I wrote Apple will diagnose an Apple product even if it is out of warranty for free. That should be your first step to find out if the problem is the battery or something else.
    Once you have Apple telling you a 7 month old battery is defective (if that turns out to be the case)  then it becomes a game of horse trading. You'll need to speak to the tech and when he tells you there is nothing he can do you will need to speak to the tech manager and when she says most likely there is nothing they can do you go to the store manager, etc.  It is unlikely (though possible) that they will give in easily you need to be firm, polite and let on that you're willing to accept a partial reimbursement.
    So again the first step is to find out what is wrong.
    good luck

  • How long should the Mac Book pro hold its charge???

    How long should the Mac Book pro hold a  battery charge??

    For a single use or how long will the battery last until it needs to be replaced?  For single use, it depends on what you are doing when using you mac.  I find that when using mine I get about 6-6 1/2 hours just using it to browse the internet before I need to recharge it.  If it is one of the newer Macbook Pros that claim to have a 7 hour battery life, It can last up to 5 years.  See this article on notebook batteries to get the most out of your battery: http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html.  Hope this helps

    I have just imported my first book to the iBooks store (after several attempts due import errors!!!!!).
    How long is the 'quality assurance' process before a book is publisehed for download?

    There are many  similar posts asking this question and a search would have saved you waiting an answer....
    The book can be in review for hours, bit more often than not, up to two weeks depending on how busy they are.
    Check your iTunesConnect daily.....they do not work weekends and remember to take into account your time zone compared to US time.

    " Finally, processScope never empties itself; the only way to clear processScope is to manually force it to clear:
    AdfFacesContext afContext = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    afContext.getProcessScope().clear();
    Otherwise the variable lives for the duration of the window process. The referenced document above also shows how to set a variable to process scope
