I have a iPod video/black 80Gb 5th generation and my battery never lasts more than 30 mintues or less.

Is this a matter of getting a new battery, maybe a service? Or something more technical?
I've charged the unit for hours although it always shows fully charged symbol within an 1 hour.
It functions fine when plugged in, updated and synced.
Only real problem is it turns of in 30 minutes or less with only the very low battery fading into the screen.
Any help/advice happily accepted

Yes. It sounds like the iPod's battery is on its last leg. If you want to keep using your iPod you'll want to have the battery replaced either by Apple, a third party company, or you can even buy the replacement part and swap it out yourself.
If you want to go through Apple's site, see here: http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipod

I have an iPod Video. (30GB 5th gen) The headphone jack only works if I push the headphone cable input to one side and hold it t here. If I leave it alone it either doesnt play at all or I hear a crackling sound. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I have two iPods, one from the fourth generation and another one that must be from the first generation iPod nano. Can I trade them both in?

The Fourth generation- 16GB
First generation-4GB

Apple does not have a "trade in" program for iPods, other than the recycling program that gives you a 10% discount on a new iPod (at an Apple Retail Store).
http://www.apple.com/recycling/ipod-cell-phone/
There are some third-party (non-Apple) companies that provide compensation for old iPods. You can also sell them yourself on eBay.

Does any one out there have problems with all in ones. Mine never last more than 6 months

I have had numerous printers/fax/scanners and they only last 4 to 6 months. I would think for the money you have to pay for them they would last longer. Something that cost 500 dollars should last more than 4 months

What is it that does not last? Do your printers go wrong in the same way?
From a printing standpoint, the number of total printed pages is a good way to measure the life of a printer instead of in days, weeks or months.
I was an HP employee.

Ipod touch 4th or 5th generation

How do I tell if I have an Ipod touch 4th or 5th generation? I can't find anything listed on the box/case.

Identifying iPod models - Apple Support

My ipod headphone jack is only allowing sound in one headphone. i tried multiple headphones to make sure it wasn't the headphone but the jack itself. i have a ipod video 5th generation.

Had you brought the same pair of headphones to the Apple Store with you and they worked there? If you hadn't, the wire or plug on those headphones may have failed. Try a different pair if you can and see if those work.
Hope this helps

Howdy Lumagofe,
I was thinking that you may need to reset the iPod Nano, outlined here How to reset iPod http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
If the above step did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
If that doesn't quite get the iPod going again, then it will need to be restored. Use this article to help with that Restoring iPod to factory settings http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339.
All the very best,

I just got an 80GB iPod yesterday, and it's already giving me trouble. It's cutting off, giving me "sad faces", not turning on/off, making weird beeping noises and a few minutes ago it picked up a popular local radio station completly on it's own. Help!

The manual does not show that feature natively for the iPod. Later iPhones and iPads have that feature natively.

I have an ipod video and I want to get a shuffle too on same pc....

I have an ipod video, and i want to get an ipod shuffle, but do not know if that will cause some type of confusion with itunes. I tried hooking up my girlfriend's ipod to my laptop and I couldn't drag any songs to her ipod. Will I have this same issue with the shuffle?

- Do you have to right boxes checked in the Tones pane of iTunes for the iPod to get them synced to the iPod:
- Were the tones purchased with the same account as all the other media on the iPod?

Then go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

Apple's servers are slammed right now with iOS 7 downloads AND activation requests.
Be patient and try again later.

No app is required.
- 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. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
- iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number

I preordered the iPod Touch 5th Generation, and it says it will be here in October. Does anybody know what day in October, or have any idea when in October?
