iPad won't hold charge

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 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.

IPod touch 2nd G won't hold charge. Restore does not help. removing all apps. Still discharges. What gives?

iPod touch 2nd G won't hold charge. Restore does not help. Removed all apps and it still discharges even if not turned on and used for anythig. What gives?

If it is warranty, bring it back to the Genius bar and insist on a replacement. If out of warranty, you can get a replacement iPod with a new battery for $79 at the genius bar.

IPad battery won't hold charge

My iPad is only 6 months old and recently stopped holding a charge. I've followed all the help topics and pointers but nothing works. The iPad goes from 80-90% down to 2% overnight while its turned off. Does this mean I need to send it back to Apple?

Hi Fred,
Thanks for the suggestion. I will keep that in mind - I actually saw another response on this forum after I posted my question that may solve my problem. It was a suggestion to go in and turn off all of my applications, which I had no idea were actively running even when the iPad is turned off.
The user said they had gone into the Apple store and an employee told them about how the newest release of the OS was doing this and that by double clicking on the iPad when coming out of sleep mode will bring up all the applications at the bottom of the screen. Then by touching and holding one application, they will begin to shake and also shows a + and - sign if they are active. I clicked the - sign on all my applications except Settings and recharged the iPad again. So far today it has not run down at all each time I check it. It made sense to me since the only thing that changed on my usage is how many downloaded programs I have added to it. All of them were actively running.
I only wish Apple would supply this information at the time they provide the updates to the OS.
I wouldn't rely on that. The drain that you're describing is significant. Further, the app listing at the bottom is a "Recents Tray." It lists all of the apps that have been used recently but they are not necessarily running and, in fact, are probably not running.
I have two easy suggestions, one or both of which you may have already done. Then, if you're still having difficulties, I'd go to Apple. A hardware failure is not unreasonable.
1. Charge the iPad overnight using the charger that came with the iPad. Do not use an iPhone charger or an iPod charger and do not use a computer USB port. Then, operate the iPad until it shuts down automatically. Ignore any low battery warnings that may appear. This doesn't do anything for the battery but it ensures that the battery meter is giving correct indications.
2. I don't fully understand what the System Reset does but I've found that it cures many ills. It's easy, quick and harmless: Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.

My iPad won't stay charged after iOS7 upgrade

Ever since I upgraded my iOS on my iPad 2 it won't stay charged and also takes forever to charge. Anyone else having this problem? I'm constantly closing everything that is open - super frustrating.

(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing will be reset

Ipod 3rd Gen won't hold charge

I got a 3rd generation Ipod used for my sister for christmas, but it is having problems that I'm worried about.
First of all, it won't charge through the usb cord hooked up to the computer. It does recognize it in ITUNES but it won't charge. I hooked it up to a wall charger, and it charges fine but it won't hold a charge for more than 10 minutes!!! Any help?

3rd generation iPods don't charge over USB.
If the wall charger is USB, it won't charge the iPod either.
You will need to purchase a Firewire wall charger.

IPod Touch (5th Gen) Battery Won't Hold Charge

After the last update my iPod Touch 5th Gen will not hold a charge. I haven't had any problems with it until this 8.1.1 update. Yesterday I charged the battery up to full charge and used it briefly to listen to music in my car however here it is the next day and the battery is dead again. It is NOT playing while not in my car. Meaning nothing should be running the battery down because it's not being used. I know it's not playing because the volume is set to half way so I'd undoubtedly hear it if it was playing. It just won't hold a charge and for no apparent reason. Any suggestions?

Ipod classic won't hold charge

My apple ipod classic which is just a yr or two old won't hold a charge. The battery icon has a lightning bolt in it so it says its charging but it won't hold a charge. Any ideas?

It sounds your iPod's battery is shot and in need of replacement. You can have Apple service it at a flat rate or you can find a third party repair site who can do it for much less.

Torch 9850 won't hold charge after OS update

I updated my blackberry last Wednesday with the latest OS (7.1), and since then, my phone won't hold a charge. I started noticing it on Thursday, and it's progressively gotten worse. A full charge will last only about 4 hours. I've changed the battery out for a new one, but to no avail. The phone won't hold a charge. It will, however, still charge with either battery (the old and the new), and after it's charged (after being totally dead) it will turn on, andit will connect to Blackberry desktop software. It just won't hold the charge. Please help...what can I do??? Note: I live in Mexico, and have no warranty, so I can't return the phone. So please, someone help with ideas that don't include getting a new phone, if it's possible. Thanks!!!

My iPod classic won't hold charge and has a lot of static when i play music

My iPod classic 80GB won't hold a charge and has a lot of static when i try to play music...fixable problem or do i need to invest in a new one?

Hi Candyfornia,
I think you must restore your iPod (with iTunes) to solve your problem...

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.

Satellite S55-A5255 Battery won't hold charge

Like the title says this S55-A5255 won't hold a charge. From what I've been reading and stuff that this battery isn't "user replaceable". Which can be done. The trouble I'm having is trying to find a battery for this laptop. I can't find it no where! All major retailers and computer techs tells me that they have no idea where I can purchase this battery. Toshiba sells the laptop but tells me they no longer replace the battery if it comes in to be repaired. Plus since this laptop is out of warranty I don't want to spend several hundred dollars to get one battery. Does anyone know the manufacturer that sells these batteries or know anyone that sells it?
