  • My iPad won't hold a charge ---any ideas?

    My iPad won't hold a charge.  It even loses battery while it is on the charge. Any ideas???

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon.  The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
    Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight.  Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A."  The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC.  Do NOT use an iPhone charger.  Do NOT use an iPod charger.  Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).  An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
    According to Apple:
    Use Your iPad Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

  • Why does my iPad won't hold a charge and charges slowly?

    Why does my iPad not hold a charge (about a half hour) and take hours to fully charge?

  • TS3274 My ipad won't hold a charge for very long.

    Just recently my ipad quit holding a charge. What used to last me all day has turned into only a couple of hours. Is there a setting or something I can change to regain the charge I once had. My I pad is only a couple of months old.

    Try turning off the following:
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Push>OFF
    Settings>Notifications>Mail>Gmail>Notification Center>OFF
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data>Off

  • My iPad 2 won't hold a charge

    My iPad 2 is 4 years and 2 mos. old.  I have noticed lately that it won't hold a charge.  Is it time for a new one?

    Batteries eventually fail, and it sounds like that's happened with your iPad. You'll need to take or send it Apple to get the battery replaced. See:

  • My ipad 2 won't hold a charge anymore. What can I do?

    My ipad 2 won't hold a charge anymore. I'll charge it up, get it to 100%, unplug it and shortly after wards, it's drained down. What can I do?

    A bit more explanation would be good.  That's about the same as phoning your garage and saying "my car doesn't go".  

  • My iPad 1 won't hold a charge for very long and will only fully charge when turned off while plugged in. Will a full reset fix this?

    my iPad 1 won't hold a charge for very long and will only fully charge when turned off while plugged in. Will a full reset fix this?

    maybe but
    most likely no
    if you have many apps running and using data and localization at the same time yes maybe
    but batteries get worse and worse and worse over time until they die a software reset will not change that

  • My ipod touch won't hold a charge and gets really hot when im using it. what is going on?

    my ipod touch won't hold a charge and gets really hot when im using it. what is going on?

    Likely that the battery is dead.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm. Apple will replace the battery for this price:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    There are third-party places which may be less expensive.  Here is one. Google for more.

  • I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, what should i do?

    I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, I honestly think this is out raging because i spend over $200 on this. To have for music and instagram. I use it about an hour a day, but i've only been using it for about 3 months although i've had it since December. Any suggestions that may help me?

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • 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.
