I just purchased a new in factory sealed box ipod 5.5. I removed all from packaging and charged overnight. The battery won't hold a charge. How do I get a new battery under warranty for this NOS item?
I Just purchased a NOS ipod 5.5 brand new in factory sealed packaging from an apple dealer. I charged the unit overnight but the battery will not hold a charge. I read the Apple warranty and expect Apple to honor the warranty to the original end user purchaser (me). however I do not want to give up this iPod for a newer model because I love the sound from the Wolfson board. The newer iPods sound horrible and give me headaches. Does Apple still provide batteries for the 5.5 30 gb iPod? Or am I out of luck due to obsolescence? Thanks in advance!
I feel your angst, especially, knowing that Apple has become the most profitable company in the world, by selling us products that breaks down when the warranty run out, and crap service staff, who doesn't know anything about the iPod Classic, except offer to sell us refurbished iPod classic.
You can get the Battery replaced at 3rd Party store for less.
BTW, (most contributors might not agree with me) if you recharged your iPod everyday, it will be dead just 2 months after the warranty expires. My logic, the iPod battery will last for about 400 recharge cycles according to Apple Specs listed below
Charge Cycles
A properly maintained iPod battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 400 full charge and discharge cycles
So if your lifestyle is plugin in to car Audio dock, while driving, and plug in to home stereo while home, then it is 2-3 charge cycles per day.
But then you cant do anything about it, just switch to another media player.

I have multiple album titles of the same name with different artists. How can I get them to go under one album title again?
In iTunes(on a Mac or PC) just tap on 'Albums' rather than 'Artists' and you'll see them all together.
You may find that there are songs mislabelled. In which case right tap on the Album or Artist and tap 'Get Info', then change to the correct name and the songs will join the rest of the songs for that Artist or Album.
Then resync with your iPhone and all will be well. -
*new* 80GB, Battery won't hold a charge?
hey guys, i just got an 80gb and it won't hold a charge.
when it's plugged into my mac or the external charger it works fine but when i unplugged from either source it plays about 2 songs (showing full battery life) and then displays the low battery sign and then cuts off.
did i get a lemon? does it just need a new battery?
please help if you can.Not thinking there is a local handy apple store in iraq. Really thing I can suggest is you trying the five r's see here
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/. Not really much else at this point. Probably really is a service issue, but give the other a try. Maybe if you find somebody going back to the real world they can take it and have it serviced for you and send it back. Is there no way you can send it in using fpo/apo (not sure what they call it now adays) you can go online here and request service:http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or maybe send it back to a loved one they can exchange if for you and send it back. You can request service on line, use your home address and they will send the package to your home, then your family can send it into apple for you, or have them take it to 5th ave.
Sorry I can't be of more help and [b]thanks for what you are doing over there! Been there, done that, got the tshirt to prove it (viet nam 2nd rangers) -
I accidentally created files using a Free Trial version of InDesign. Now the files are gone. Where did they go? How do I get them back? I pay for Creative Cloud... but used the wrong login apparently.
Files you save don't disappear, even if you no longer have the software that created them. They're right where you saved them.

My iPod battery won't hold it charge??
My iPod 4th generation won't hold it's charge it is only 15 months old
Just what battery life are you getting?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

3rd Generation iPod Touch battery won't hold a charge.
My 3rd Generation iPod touch has been very reliable for the past few years, but recently I've been noticing a decrease in its battery life. The battery will now, on a full charge, last about 4 hours on continuous usage. Is this normal? I recall it lasting longer before.
Thanks!Very likely that the barger is wearing out. That happens with time/charge/discharge cycles. 4 hours is standar for an old iPod like yurs.

E2 Battery won't hold a charge
I love my little E2, and it's served me well over the past 3 years. Unfortunately it would seem my battery's life is at an end. Is it possible to change the battery in this unit? And if so, how do I go about getting a replacement? I'm in Toronto Canada, are there any service dealers in my area?

Second time this has happened to an ipod classic that i bought (the last one I bought 14 months ago and it is out of apples warranty.) Battery won't hold a charge or even register when pluged into anything (wall charger, USB, mac book, etc.)
Apple is refusing to do anything except charge me $60 for a refurbished battery (let me remind you that I gave them $370 14 months ago for a brand-new (not refurbished) i pod classic.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this battery issue? The obvious answer is for apple to make a better product (2 ipod classics, 2 ipod classic battery die outs. the most recent purchase in a shocking 14months ago.) Better products or more realistic and forgiving warrantly policys.) I am NOT going to pay for the $60 swap out as Apple has taken enough money from this sucker (will never purchase another shoddy apple product again.)
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice? Shame on me for giving my $ to apple. THEY ARE A FAD COMPANY WHOSE PRODUCTS ARE PART OF A CULTURAL FAD---nothing real is in there (well SOMETHING was real and working for 14months.)I feel your angst, especially, knowing that Apple has become the most profitable company in the world, by selling us products that breaks down when the warranty run out, and crap service staff, who doesn't know anything about the iPod Classic, except offer to sell us refurbished iPod classic.

I had to replace my hard drive and load Snow Leopard, but iPhoto is not there. How can I get iPhoto without having to pay for it.
The iLife that came with your MacBook is on the #2 gray disk that came with the MacBook.
The App Store version of iLife ‘11 programs will only work with 10.7 or 10.8. You can get the iLife ’11 DVD which will run on 10.6 on eBay or Amazon.com fairly cheap.

I just bought a new macbook air. Now i want to sync my iphone to this computer. I copied all my songs and apps to the itunes. If I sync do i loose all my contacts and notes? because i could not copy it to itunes
You need to use the backup of your PC to transfer all the music files to iTunes on the Mac.
If you have no backup then you have a difficult task ahead of you as iTunes will only allow you to sync purchased music from the iPhone back into iTunes. Any music you loaded into iTunes yourself will not transfer from the iPhone to iTunes, this is to prevent stealing of music. To sync iTunes purchased music from the iPhone to iTunes, connect the iPhone and open iTunes, but when asked do NOT sync the device. then right click on the iPhone in the iTunes source list and select the 'Transfer Purchases' option, you will also find this commend in the File menu.
If you are in the US, you can use the new iTunes in the Could feature to redownload your iTunes purchased music / apps / books for free.
If you want to transfer all the content from your iPhone to you Mac then you will need to use Google to find a 3rd party piece of software that will do this for you.
