I have the ipod shuffle.  It only holds a charge for about 45 minutes.  Is this normal?

It's not "normal," but lithium batteries wear out over time and eventually are not able to hold a charge, and that is "expected."
So, if the iPod shuffle is a few years old, and you used it a lot, the battery may be worn out.  If it's brand new (or less than one year from purchase date, you should have it checked under warranty.

  • All of a sudden my ipod will only hold a charge for an hour

    all of a sudden my ipod will only hold a charge for an hour

    Strange, but if it's under a yr. old, you should still have a warranty on it, and Apple can replace it for you.

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if it frightens you, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

    I need to install the find my iPhone app on my ipad, it will not install. Any reasons. Do I need to change something in my settings? I am up to date with my ios7. Please help!

    Try closing the App Store app via the iPad's taskbar and then do a soft-reset and see if you can install it after the iPad has restarted. To close the App Store : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the App Store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    Soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Brand new ipod shuffles won't hold a charge

    I've bought and returned 2 ipod 4th generation shuffles because they won't hold a charge for more than 1.5 hrs after I charged them overnight. Those were brand new ipods and I use them for the gym. Why aren't they holding a charge? Has anyone else had these problems? They are supposed to have a long battery charge.  I don't want to keep buying and returning ipod shuffles. My other ipod shuffles haven't lasted long either. The battery quality is very low. I might try a 3rd shot but I'm very frustrated. 
    Can anyone recommend another brand other than Apple?
    Thanks

    When you are excercising with the Shuffle do you have it protected with a moisture resistant sleeve or case?  If not, there is a good possibility that moisture is making its way into the Shuffle and deteriotating its internal components including the battery.
    You could test this out, by replacing the Shuffle a third time, charging it over night, and then seeing how long it lasts on a full charge without using it for exercise.

  • Apple tv will only hold wi- fi for a few minutes

    New apple tv only holds wi fi for few minutes. All other devices have no problem.
    What is happening with the apple tv device.

    When the wifi drops, if you go to the network settings can the Apple TV see your or any network names?
    I was having a problem on mine but when it went it was sudden and complete. If I went to the networks menu I could not see any of my 4 network IDs or any of the 13 networks in the neighborhood.
    If I left it alone or sometimes if I rebooted I could temporarily get it back working. I tried all the standard stuff like changing the wifi channel, I even updated the router firmware.
    I did a restore and even updated to 5.1 when it came out but the problem persisted.
    After troubleshooting with Apple Care for a few days it was decided it had to be hardware related and I swapped it out for a new one (mine was only a month old).
    The new one has been working flawlessly for a few days now.

  • TS1382 battery for ipod classic no longer holding a charge for long

    I have a 3 year old Ipod Classic (120GB) that does not appear to hold a charge for very long now!
    Is this just the battery running down and needing replacement?

    Yes.  Have it replaced by either Apple or a third party repair company. Batteries lose their ability to maintain capacity over time and die.

  • IPOD shuffle as ON-HOLD Message player for AVAYA

    I have used my daughter's IPOD 4GB plugged into my AVAYA Partner phone system to play an "On-hold" message and it works great. I bought a Shuffle to do the same thing so I could give back my daughter's 4GB. The on-hold message only plays intermittently. I do not believe it is a cable as the cable works perfectly with the 4GB. Will the Shuffle work in this application?

  • My ipod shuffle won't hold a charge...why?

    I have a 2nd gen (i think) ipod shuffle, and i've only used it a few times, but the battery can't seem to hold a charge. any solutions? waaaay past warranty/apple care, is it a lost cause?

    It's likely that given the age of the device and the long gaps between use that the battery has lost it's ability to retain a charge and is now shot. You'll need to have the iPod's battery serviced or you can start saving for a new one.
