a short initial charge may be the culprit. what clues or hints are there that would indicate a undercharge would be the cause ?

thanks for the help. the answers have varied and i was not sure if all the deviations were a result of the technical issues associated with this product. people are rightfully worried (and over-worried) that a player costing upwards of two hundred dollars may need extra attention, esp. if its sensiti've and moody.
i thought i may have undercharged it. the whole system locked, down to the power button. rotating the batteries didn't help either. i tried for a refund but newegg will only do an exchange/repair. rats ! i am going to have to tought this out.

  • How long is the initial charging for iphone 4s

    How long will it take to charge a new iphone 4s?

    Depends on the battery charge level you start at...if it comes out of the box with at least 50% charge, start using it.  You do not need to sit and wait for the iPhone to fully charge.

    ¿how do it the initial charge of the battery for the ipad 2?

    How ... I use the original charge until completion or by 100% before starting to use it? If I use it with the initial charge until it is complete, then I must leave off a while before putting it to reload

    Hello,I want to ask you that how long may the ipad2 charge at the first time? Thank you

    The quickest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (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%.
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes.

  • 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.

    Best of Luck,

    how long should i charge my nano for the first time

    talbo,
    Charge it until it says 'Charged' at the top of the screen http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60970
    It could take 3-4 hours.

  • How long is the first charge for the first time?

    Hello everyone! I've just got the newest iPod Touch and I was wondering for how long does it need to be charged for the first time.
    Thank you for your help and best wishes for these holidays.

    Just charge it until it is fully charged. Not reason or requirement to charge more.

  • How Long Is the Initial Start-Up Sequence of Time Capsule?

    My machine is still showing solid amber after 35+ minutes. I just configured it the first time with AirPort Utility. How long is a normal wait? In the event of what should I do? Thanks.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Your Time Capsule should restart in 30-40 seconds. A solid amber light is not a good sign.
    You should do a hard reset, re-configure your Time Capsule and restart the unit.
    Hard reset the unit as follows:
    Pull the power cable from the TC
    Hold in the reset button and CONTINUE to hold it in while you plug the power cord back in.
    Release the reset button after 10-15 seconds.
    If the Time Capsule does not restart after you re-configure it, it is likely that you have a defective unit.

  • I recently discovered my ipod touch would no longer turn on. All it does is show the low battery sign, and that is if it's connected to a computer. No matter how long I leave it charging, it does that. Is there a way to fix it?

    Hi, I recently discovered my ipod touch would no longer turn on. I've tried everything! All it does is show the low battery sign, and that is if it's connected to a computer. No matter how long I leave it charging, it does that. Is there a way to fix it? All I want are my contacts and my old calendar back. These did not sync with iTunes like my photos, music, and video. I can probably get an older, replacement iPod, but I don't want to have to readd all my important dates and reminders, as well as contact information. I guess I have two questions:
    1) is there a way to get my ipod to start working again?
    2) is there a way to get my old contacts and calendar back again?

    Try here:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    To get the calender and contacts back if you can't get the iPod working is to restore the new iPod from the backup of the old one.

  • 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

  • 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
