How to drain iPod Touch battery
I am trying to completely drain my iPod's battery. I have been trying all week to update to OS 6. It kept freezing, I did several restores. I also removed all music and books to cut down on the memory demand. On the last restore, I actually got everything working and was organizing my apps and resyncing everything, when it froze again. I did not want to restart the restore as that takes at least overnight to complete.
So I decided that maybe completely draining the battery would be the next thing I could try.
(REFERENCE: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13164301#13164301)
But, because it was frozen into an endless loop of restarting itself, I couldn't set up a game, music, or video to play and drain it for me.
So I spent several hours monitoring it as it restarted itself over and over and gradually drained the battery. This did not completely drain it, however, so I manually restarted it for a few more hours.)
According to the advice I was trying to follow (see URL above), I should see nothing when I first plug in the iPod, if it is completely drained. At this point though, I have a dead screen for a half hour or so, but if I press the restart button, I sometimes get the dying battery image again for a few seconds. When the screen is completely black, if I plug it in, I also get the dying battery image but right away.
My question is - is the battery dead enough at this point for me to attempt to recharge it and hope it has reset itself enough that the 'stuck' problem might have gone away? Or do I need to wait longer?
Well ok thanx.

my ipod touch 8gb, ios 4.3.2 has a short amount of battery life of around 2 hours, but i installed an app that tells you the battery life remaining, it said 4 hours, how come? is my ipod touch battery faulty
Some useful info would be:
What generation is it?
How old is it?
If it's older than the 3rd generation, then the battery may have run its course (or iOS 4.3 is taking a toll on the battery).
If not, then you might have some issues leaving the wi-fi on and fetching data as well as running apps in the background that abuse location services and notification. Make sure those are off, or only running when necessary. If you see a small arrow in the top right corner (that isn't the music "Play" arrow), then you are currently running a location based service that can drain battery.
Also check your brightness settings, these can really pull battery life. -
1st generation ipod touch battery
My first generation iPod Touch battery has had it and is barely holding a charge. Does anyone have any experience with the battery replacement companies that are available? Would like to use someone that has had a good experience.
if you're using it for media a lot then the battery will be drained a lot more quickly than just using it for music/podcasts. i often listen to a 3.5 hour radio show via wifi using the BBC iPlayer and that pretty much kills the battery, but if i'm using it for just music/podcasts it will last at least a few days before needing a charge.
hints i have seen for the new batteries suggest that rather than letting your iPod run down, you should keep charging it, no matter how short a period, whenever you can. -
How to unfreeze ipod touch when stuck on apple logo
It has been stuck on apple logo for over 24 hours. I have plugged it into my computer and it won't bring the ipod up. I have turned it off by holding the home button and the top button but when I turn it back on it goes to the apple logo again. Help
Try the remaining items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My new Ipod touch battery will only last 4-5 hours when playing music and simple games?? I turned the wireless off and it still only lasted 4-5 hours.
Any ideas would be appreciated
thanksIF I'm correct, the complete drain followed by a complete charge will fix the problem. If I'm incorrect, your battery needs replacement. If your unit is still in warranty, there is no cost. If out of warranty, the charge is US$79. Your iPod, being new, is of course in warranty.
Good luck! -
WHen I first installed iOS 6 the App Store crashes...and now having iOS 6 for 2 weeks now, all my apps are buggy and now are crashing! Safari and built in apps are becoming slow and crash. I hate how apple leaves iPod touch 4g and iPhone 4 in the dark and basically force us to upgrade to newer devices. Apple could of done better with the update and needs to resolve these issues.
Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

The App store crashing is a known problem.

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

How to reset ipod touch 5th generation without using itunes
I am locked out of my IPod touch 5th generation because my password was changed on me. It says my ipod is disabled and I need to connect to itunes. However, I can not get itunes where I am so I need to know how to reset my ipod without itunes.
Only if:
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
