IPad does not hold a charge. Anyone know why?

My ipad does not hold a charge. I charged it yesterday and didnt use it at all today plus I even shut it down all the way not just sleep.

I doubt that anyone here, with the limited knowledge of how you actually use your device, could ever do more than hazard a guess. Your power adapter is bad and not charging properly .... It is possible that the battery indicator is giving you an incorrect reading and that the iPad has more battery power left than it shows on the meter, but if it shuts down on its own after less than say - 6 hours - on a full charge - then something is wrong.

You may want to read both articles and make your own determination. You can always try restoring the device and see if that helps. Read this for help.

You could try a hard reset and see if that helps at all.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Ipad does not hold charge

After upgrading my Ipad to the new system, when i charge it , Ipad does not hold the charge. It charges 100% but when I unplug it charge goes to zero.

Iaiacomi-
Of course it is possible your battery has died.
It is also possible the iPad's battery measurement system is out of calibration. If that is the case, continue using it until it stops. Then charge it to 100 percent again using the wall charger. That should recalibrate the iPad's battery monitor.
If that does not help, you can try resetting (rebooting) the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

MacBook Air 11 in. does not hold a charge

I have a brand new MacBook Air 11 inch computer that I got in the fall of 2013. It does not hold a charge for very long, probably only 2-3 hours before I have to charge it again. This happens even though I always have my brightness on low. When I shut down my computer at the end of the night and go to use it the next day, the battery will also be drained. I do not know why this happens...

1. did you often drain the battery very low?
2. did you often /always have your macbook on charge,......or did you often / always BOTH have your macbook on charge AND in sleep mode?
1 or 2 are harsh on the battery chemistry and therefore its longevity
all batteries are consumables meant to replaced either in their own "due time" or early due to abuse / misuse.

MY new Ipod Nano does not hold a charge. I use it mostly as a watch, perhaps look at it 5 or 6 times in 8 hours, and leave it in sleep mode the rest of the time. I drains to the red line in less than 2 days. My husband's nano will last a week this way.

Am I doing something incorrectly to cause this short battery life?

You are still under warranty if your iPod is "new." Take full advantage of it by either calling iPod tech support, Apple Care if you have it or take it in to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

HT4623 My ipad is not holding its charge. A 100% charge will only last a half day depending how much I use it

My ipad in not holding its charge. A 100% will only last a half of a day depending on how long I use it. 2yrs in december

batteries can only hold a full charge for so many years and you say yours is almost 2 years out. Also, of course battery time will fluctuate depending on how you use it.

Javascript is not working in Safari on my iPad, version 6.1.3. Anyone know why?

I have an iPad with os version 6.1.3. Javascript on websites is not working in Safari. Does anyone know why? How can I correct this situation?

It is jquery libraries that are not functioning properly and some of the html. I have Javascript turned on. The website was working in Safari. I tested it in Safari and I viewed it many times using Safari and it worked. I went on to it on 5/8/13 and the javascript/jquery portion and parts of the html are not working. It had been tested about 4 or 5 months ago in several diffierent versions of IE, Chrome, Mozilla and Safari.
Thanks for responding to my question

Battery life seems short or the battery does not hold a charge, seems to drain quickly or does not last as long as expected.

Solved!

IMPORTANT Notes while charging your Reader device:
It is recommended to charge the Reader using the supplied AC Adapter. When using the AC adapter to charge your Reader device, the lightning bolt symbol that appears next to the battery icon [FIG. 1] on the display of your Reader device is an indication that it is connected to AC power and is charging the battery properly. If the lightning bolt symbol is not present, double check the AC Adapter to ensure that your Reader device is properly connected. This symbol does not appear while charging via a USB connection.
If you charge via a USB connection and leave your Reader Digital Book connected to the computer to charge and the computer goes into sleep/hibernation, charging will stop and the red charge indicator on the Reader will turn off. If left connected, your battery may begin to discharge. To avoid this, turn off any sleep/hibernation settings while charging or set your sleep or hibernation settings to come on after your Reader Digital Book has been charged and then disconnect it from the computer once charging has completed.
It will take approximately 4 hours to achieve a full charge with a computer. It will take approximately 2 hours to achieve a full charge with the optional AC Adapter.
If your Reader Digital Book is left connected to a powered USB hub while the computer is shut down, your battery may begin to discharge. Disconnect your Reader from the hub when the computer is not powered on.
Always verify that your Reader is fully charged by disconnecting it from the computer and checking the battery indicator. The battery indicator will display 4 black bars when it is fully charged
On a full charge, the battery has the capability of up to 7,500 continuous page turns. Actual battery life will vary based on usage patterns, settings and battery conditions. When the Reader is turned on, off, or a page is marked, battery power is used, thus lowering the expected battery life.
NOTE: When storing the Reader for a long period of time, use the Device Shutdown feature in the Advanced settings menu. After using Device Shutdown, it may take approximately 30 seconds for the Reader to start the next time the Reader is turned on.
Playing audio will reduce the battery life. If you did not start audio play back intentionally, confirm audio is not playing. You will not hear playback unless headphones are connected. Audio playback will continue until it is stopped by turning it off from the Now Playing menu. To see if audio is playing, press the HOME button and then press the OPTION button. If Now Playing is displayed in the dialogue box that appears, tap Now Playing and this will take you to the song that is playing. Press the Pause button to stop playback of that song and then press the HOME button.
NOTES:
Due to the nature of the E Ink electronic display technology, the LCD can retain an image without having power. Turning the page is the only time power is consumed. If the Reader's power is drained, the LCD will retain the last image that was displayed, thus making it appear like the Reader is frozen and in some instances it will not have enough power to perform other operations such as turning on or off.
Battery life can be affected by operating temperatures below 41 degrees F, lack of use, or if the battery has not been given enough time to fully charge.
As with any battery, if the Reader is stored for an extended period of time, the battery will discharge on it's own. Therefore, it may be necessary to charge the battery prior to use.
If the Reader has not been used for an extended period of time, repeatedly charging and discharging will improve the efficiency of the battery.
If the battery life still seems short, the battery may need to be replaced.

Every time I type something in Notes it disappears. Anyone know why and how to fix it? Thanks

Ipad battery not holding a charge

My ipad 2 is not holding a battery charge. I have let the battery completly drain and have charged it using the the cord that I recieved when I bought it, over night, (8hrs +). I have owned my ipad for over 2 yrs. and have never had any problem recharging it until now! Any suggestions?

Have you tried using a different charger? Haven't heard of an iPad battery going bad... however, the chargers do quite regularly from a lot of use.
Let me know if that helps, or if not...

IPod Touch does not hold a charge

I had a 3rd generation iPod Touch that would hold a charge for a long time until suddenly (just before the warranty ran out) it would no longer hold the charge. I could fully charge it and leave it sit unused for about 3 days and it would be dead. After much tech support from Apple (we tried restoring original settings, removing all apps, etc., etc., etc.), they sent me a replacement. The replacement has had the same issue since day 1. I have now been experimenting with other settings and it seemed to hold the charge a little better when the wifi was turned off, but I always used to leave the wifi on and it didn't drain the battery at all. What is going on??

The recent iOSs for iPods allow the iPod to do more when the iPod is asleep. I just leave my Ipod in airplane mode when I am not using it. My 4G go excellent batter life with the original iOS (4.1 I think). I could just let it sleep with wifi one. However, wtih the resent iOSs, the batteyr would almost completly drain overnight.

My iPad does not down load apps...why not?

A recently purchased iPad Air does not download apps. I select "Get", it asks for my Apple Id account password, it is entered, but the icon which has a circle spinning around, stops and then displays "Get" without downloading the app. I have tried Facebook and The Weather Network. Any help out there?

Why does my iPad 1 not hold a charge

For past couple of days ipad1 won't hold it's charge for more than an hour or so, charged it overnight and seemed to be ok but quickly drained. Any advice would be welcome.

Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue, i.e. battery.
