You can take it to an Apple Retail store Genius Bar and they will tell you your options

  • How long should my ipod last on a full charge

    How long should by Apple Ipod last on a full charge. Only using it for music.

    It depends on your ipod touch brightness, active apps, ect.
    averagly is should go around for about 2and a half hours before it turns red.

    Home button + power button for 15sec - 1min until you see apple Logo.
    Release buttons, breathe a sigh of relief.

    is it normal to only get 4370 mAh full charge capacity on a brand new 45 Wh battery

    Post your battery info in the system profiler (especially cycle count and full charge capacity)

  • Thinkpad Twist S230U - Battery Issue (Only 1 hour on full charge)

    Hello all,
    I'm desperate here. I purchased my Twist from eBay and from that time I've had a battery issue. I was only getting approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes off a full charge before it died.
    I mostly just tolerated it and had to keep close to an outlet as I assumed the battery was just bad.
    In the last week I decided to do someting about it and bought a replacement battery, opened up my laptop, and replaced the old battery with the new one.
    Hopeful that my problem had now been remedied, you can imagine my disappointment when the issue was even slightly worse. Now I get an estimated 1:06 on a full charge.
    I installed BatteryBar and it tells me "Capacity: 13,870 mWh of 14,060 mWh" and "Battery Wear: 66.9% of 42,480 mHw".
    I'm running Windows 8.1. I've replaced the original hard drive with an SSD. I've installed the "Lenovo Settings Dependency Program" and "Lenovo Power Management Driver". I've tried changing power settings. Nothing works.
    A one hour battery life is just miserable. Can anyone provide some insight as to what may be done? I'd appreciate it.

    Thanks for the response!
    It seems that with Windows 8 there is not a "battery gauge reset" feature included with the Power Manager as there is in other versions of Windows.
    Right now I'm trying what is considered a "manual reset" that I read about online. The battery was charged to 100%, now I'm allowing it to drain completely, and then I'll plug it back in and allow it to charge fully.
    Is this an appropriate method to reset the battery gauge, or should I be doing something else?
    Thank you.

  • My 5s batterie only last 30min to 40 min and phone getting quiet hot is that normal?

    My 5s batterie only last 30 min to 40 min when is fully charge and phone getting quiet hot?

    No, it is not a standard battery life, and is a common problem.
    1. Reset phone (no data loss): Press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Remove and reinstall Exchange and push IMAP email accounts
    3. Restore in iTunes using a backup.
    4. Restore as new
    Also, this article will help....

  • HT201412 My iphone will only work if it is on the charger. What do I do?

    My iphone 4S only will work on the charger. All of my settings are wrong. What do I do?

    Hi ashleybickel,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone only works when connected to the charger, I recommend these troubleshooting steps:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Best,
    Jeremy

  • My iPhone 4 is only 14 months old over dropped very well looke after, one day the lock button stops then the volume buttons, now the headphone port does not work and the battery lasts about 4 hours after full charge I still have a year left on my contract

    My phone is 2 months out of warranty, it's never been dropped or miss used yet the past week every day something has gone wrong with it. First the lock button stopped then the side volume buttons. Then the head phone port when I putt headphones in the phone turns the volume
    Down automatically and it won't turn up until I take my headphones back out. The battery lasts 4 hours max after a full charge and today I took my phone off the docking charger and all my music has gone! The phone is breaking down more and more everyday what is going on! I know people who have had there iPhones years an non of this happen! I still have a year left on my contract too!

    Who is your carrier and what is your coverage with them? If you are with say Verizon, and have Total Equipment Coverage or Extended Coverage, they will swap it out for you under Manufacturer Warrantee.

  • HT5012 I have a first generation Iphone 5 and my question is why is my phone heating up so bad to the point where its almost to hot to touch on the back. On top of that the battery is dieing so fast that it usually lasts about 3 hrs on a full charge. Help

    So basically my iPhone 5 has been heating up so bad that it feels like its about to over heat and die. I've never had this happen to any other of my iPhones.  On top of that the battery is dying so fast that on a full charge is lasts about 3 hrs give or take. Ive tried closing all my apps like i usually do anyways, i tuned down the light, I've reset it and booted it back up, reset it and used iCloud backup, ext... Nothing is working. I'm to the point where i  almost want to get a new phone. I even tried calling apple support and they couldn't help me cause from what it sounded like they had no idea what they were doing. If anyone has any comments on how to fix this i would greatly appreciate it . I do love apple products and i have a upgrade and plan on upgrading my phone when the new one comes out but for the time being IDE like to fix the phone i have now that I've only had for a little bit anyways. Thanks  

    You are probably going to have to take a trip to the Apple Store, but you can also make sure that:
    Bluetooth is turned off when not in use
    Location Services are only turned on for those locations that you want a constant update to
    Background App Refresh is turned off
    Automatic Downloads is turned off
    Cellular Roaming is turned off when you don't need it
    Go through your Settings and take a look at all of the settings to determine if you have any turned on that may be using a lot of battery, and which you really don't need.
    Cheers,

    A good read. Have you done anything at all to resolve your problem. Reset? Restore?
    By the way - "your products"... nobody here produced the iPhone, we are all just users. Apple is not here.

  • Iphone 5s time since last full charge

    Hi, i'm running iOS 7.1.2 on my iPhone 5s and in settings at Time since last full charge is showing at both usage and standby —.
    Two hours ago it showed at usage 4 hours bla bla.
    I need to restore in iTunes my iPhone or..?. My iPhone was opened for changing the touchscreen, i don't know if it matter.

    and now:
    I didn't rebooted it. I didn't put again to charge.

  • My iPhone 3GS will hold a full charge for only a short time, and gets very hot when not in use in my shirt pocket.  Any ideas?

    My 3GS iPhone will not hold full charge for very long.  It gets very hot in my shirt pocket even when hot in use.  Any ideas?

    Double-tapping the home button does not show apps that are running.  This is not a task manager, it is merely a list of recently used/accessed apps.
    Basic troubleshooting of the device is reset, restart, restore.  Has a reset or restore been tried?
    Check to see if updates exists for the apps, this could be a simple issue of a badly coded or buggy app that needs to be updated.

  • Time since last full charge resets itself?

    I am using an iPhone 6, 64 GB running iOS 8.1 and I have noticed that the "Usage" and "Standby" information shown under "Time Since Last Full Charge" suddenly dissappears, regardless of how much charge is left on the device. Last time it dissappeared when there was 10% charge left. Why is this?

    This is definitely a real issue. I had thought I discovered the culprit when the usage statistics also reset on my iPhone 5 after a wifi sync. So I was going to experiment on my iPad and not sync for the life of the charge to see if a reset wouldn't happen. However, after charging the iPad fully for a FaceTime call with family that drained the battery to around 72%, I shut it off for a few days while using only my iPhone. When I started the iPad up today, the usage statistics were once again blank. My iPhone is now charging so I will proceed with the experiment on it instead, but I do believe that wifi sync won't be the cause. If an app is causing this, it's one of these that were listed as being used in the last 7 days (i.e. The only apps used when fullly charged and after shutdown to starting up today):
    Safari, FaceTime, Home & Lock screen, Newsify, and Settings (in that order)
    If anyone else is experiencing this phenomenon, please make note of it here. It could be helpful to narrowing down a cause and let Apple know of a bug in the OS.
