Ipod battery life-someone plz help!!!

Okay, so I didn't realize that you had to charge your ipod before you use it (because I didn't realize there was a back to the lil instructions that come with it) so now the battery doesn't last very long. Is there any way I can fix this or get new batterys? Does anyone know?
*Please help because I just spent 200 dollars on my ipod and I don't want it to be _screwed up_!*
HELP!
Thanks! =)

you can buy a battery online and install it yourself or you can send it into a 3rd party dealer and get the work done there...
Everything that comes battery operated needs to be fully charged before use to get the most out of your battery.....

Hello MohammedFawzi. I understand you're trying to recover your notebook to factory conditions.
If you're unable to perform the recovery the normal way I suggest ordering a set of Recovery Discs directly from HP. This will not only reinstall the operating system but will also recreate the partitions (including Recovery), install drivers, and most of the software.
To order the discs you'll need to contact HP Support in your region. You can visit HP Support Worldwide to locate your region's contact information.
I hope this is helpful. Have an amazing week!

i keep the itunes encountered a problem and needs to shut down . it was working fine until after i updated to 10.5 can someone plz help

I did get a "server busy" message when I loaded quicktime, but I'm not sure if it is related or not since I've been seeing that over the last couple of days, I can't remember if it came before iTunes stopped working or not. That message reads "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'switch to' to activate the busy program and correct the problem." My options then are to choose switch to or retry. When I press "switch to" my Start menu opens, and nothing appears to happen when I select retry.
that's an odd sort of a message (or series of messages).
hmmmmm. let's try an experiment aimed at working out if there's a program interfering with the QuickTime (which is in turn causing grief with your iTunes).
try a selective startup using MSCONFIG, with just the itunes and QuickTime background processes enabled, as per the following document:
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
does QT open without the strange message after the selective startup?
does iTunes launch properly?

For tha love of god someone plz help me!!!

7th generation ipod nano battery life? Please help.

I only seem to be getting about ten hours out of my new ipod nano.I've only had since October when it came out and charged it only about five times since then.I have calibrated the battery a few times,but it still has not improved.I only use my ipod for music and photos and I have the brightness setting on lowest.I don't use the equalizer or bluetooth.I have read that resetting it doesn't help.I really love my ipod,but I hope it's not defective 'cause it's engraved and I haven't bought the warranty for it yet.Does anyone else have this issue with the battery life? Any advice?

I guess i neglected to say that I did all tests from letting it completely die to letting it sit for 22 hours without touching it (who uses ipods without touching them for 30 hours?) and it died just after 22 hours. 3 times now it said connect to charge after 5 to 6 hours but one of the times i let it play without touching it after it said to charge and it went for another 5 hours then died? Any other hints or tricks or is this battery really garbage like others are saying!? If apple don't do a fix for this they will be getting hundreds of these ipods back because of the deception on battery life!

Okay every time i plug my ipod up to my laptop a message comes up and says one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. Can someone plz help me ive done everything.

I really need assistance/help with my ipod because it was working fine one day. Then the next day i decide to put more music on it then this message came up, and ive tried all the troubleshooting stuff and different links to help but still no success. But theres one thing i havent tried yet someone told me to buy another Apple charger and wall plug in to see if that works other than that i need help because i went to settings and erased everything off my ipod to see if that worked and it didnt so all my stuff is gone....Yeah i was ****** but plz help me!

I would first try unplugging All the USB devices plugged into your computer, and then plug back in just the iPhone and see if that is recognized. Also, do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed on your PC, as you need to?
Hope this helps

HELP WITH VIDEO IPOD BATTERY LIFE

i recently purchased an ipod for my birthday and im very dissapointed in the battery life. can any1 tell me any tips to making a battery last longer? and ive noticed that it doesnt always charge up to full.
please help, thanks

One thing you might want to try is letting your
batter die completely until your iPod won't even turn
on, and then recharging it fully. When you keep
recharging li-ion batteries when they do not need to
be, like when they're still half-charged, they will
burn out a lot quicker. The best thing is to
completely drain it each time before you recharge it.
Actually, that's the opposite of what I've heard. I heard it's better not to completely drain the battery before you recharge, and only do a full dischage every 30 charges or so to keep the battery fresh.

Problems with ipod battery life AND new software

First of all, I'm not 100% sure if my ipod is fifth generation... it's a 30 GB and I've had it since December 2006. This just seemed to be the only category it fit into.
But here we go: I have two major problems with my ipod that have arisen in only a period of a couple days.
First of all, my battery life suddenly got REALLY REALLY bad. I know there are already a bunch of threads with people complaining about their battery life, but mine is much worse. The battery life did progressively get a little worse over the past few weeks, but it was nothing major. But I turned my ipod on the other day, RIGHT after fully charging it, mind you, and within 2-3 minutes the battery was halfway discharged and in about 5 minutes it was almost dead.
And a couple of times, I had my ipod plugged into my iBook to charge, and the iBook went into sleep mode because I left it alone for a while. But after a couple hours I came back and the battery level was LOWER than when I plugged it in!!!! What's going on with this thing?
And then to make matters worse, I finally broke down and downloaded the new ipod software the other day (sorry I can't remember the version, but it's the most recent). Everything seemed OK until I turned on my ipod the next day. With the old software, when I would select "Music>" and then "Artists>" it would go to the list of artists like it's SUPPOSED to.
But now, when I select "Artists>" it then goes to a list entitled "Artists" and my ONLY option is "All>". If I click "All>" then it takes me to a second list called "All Albums" and my only option again is "All>". When I click it again, it takes me to a list called "All Songs" with NOTHING in it. At first, I was afraid the update had deleted all the music off my ipod, but I plugged it back into my computer and according to iTunes, everything was still there as if nothing had happened.
Is there anything I can do to remedy either of these problems? I am so frustrated with this thing, considering both of these things happened rather suddenly and the fact that my ipod is not even a year old and it's not like I've been abusing it or anything.

I've had both exact problems (listed below) within days of each other just like you. This is extremely effing frustrating and it appears Apple isn't doing sh|t about it.
Problem 1: Battery constantly discharges even when ipod is turned off.
Problem 2: After upgrading firmware to 1.2.2, all my content (songs, podcasts, everything) was gone.
I'm glad to say I was able to fix problem 2 after reading about reverting back to version 1.2.1. There are instructions in this forum on how to do it. If you are like me, you'll have to download the 1.2.1 files from Apple's website because they were no longer on my computer.
This dieing/dead battery problem is a major effing pain in the a$$. Like you say, the effing thing is dead after minutes. The only way it can be used for any length of time is to leave it plugged in to a charger.
No one seems to have a solution which is even more upsetting than the problem. Hey Apple, I want my money back!

2 second battery life - can anyone help?

My sixth month old powerbook G4 has a battery life of all of 2 seconds and needs to be plugged into the charger constantly. Anyone have any idea either why this has happened, or how I can sort it out? Will apple supply me with a new one or is there some magical button I can press that will make it work again?
Any suggestions appreciated...

Batteries do sometime fail. First, try resetting the Power Management Unit as per Apple Tech Article 14449:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
If that doesn't help, I think the unoffical warranty on batteries is either 6 months or 1 year, so try your case with Apple.

Ipod battery not charging! help

my ipod battery completely ran out. so, i plugged it into the computer. no screen shows up that the battery is too low, and the computer AND itunes does not recognize that it is plugged in.
how can my ipod charge, if the computer doesn't know it's plugged in!?
help pleaseee.

I received a 4th Gen 20GB iPod (around 2 years old)from a friend and asked me whether I could fix it for him, which has been left untouched as a paper-weight for almost 2 months.
I tried to turn it on, and the screen was completed blank and the device looked dead. Before doing anything I prepared the following:-
1. A window based PC
2. A Mac computer
3. An USB iPod cable
4. A Firewire iPod cable
5. An iPod AC charger
As the iPod was previously formatted on a PC, therefore I tried to plug it with a PC via USB cable, it did not response and not able to get recognized by the PC. I ejected the iPod and connected with an AC charger, after a few minutes, I did a Reset for the iPod

The iPod showed an Apple sign, it stuck there for almost a minute, the screen then showed a battery with an exclamation mark sign, and after a minute, the iPod turned off itself. I was sure that the iPod carried very low battery, and could not be charged by connecting it with any computer (both Mac and PC).
I decided to let it have a charge with an AC charger for a bit longer, after 10 minute I did the Reset again, this time a sign of folder with exclamation mark showed up after the Apple sign, and again could not get recognized by a computer.
I changed my mind, and put the iPod into disk mode

Instead of connecting with a PC, I plug it with my Mac using a Firewire cable, it did not response, so I switched the cable to an USB, interestingly, the iPod got recognized and a window pop up indicating that the iPod needed to do a Restore. Therefore I clicked “Restore”.
After that I left the iPod with the ac charger overnight, and it finally recovered

Speakers with Alarm and iPod Battery Life

Hello everybody,
I am thinking to buy speakers with alarm for my wife's iPod video (30G). I have the following concern though. Since such kind of accessories charge iPod once I connect it, is it going to shorten the battery life due to frequent charging? Or is there any way to somehow disable charging if the battery is still OK?
Thank you.
- Dmitri
