Ipod Battery Question Please Help

Ok so i just got a 30gig video ipod. I started to charge it in my sister's laptop then noticed in the book that it said do not charge in a keyboard usb slot, so i freaked..pulled it out and charged it on my own computer, and it said it was fully charged after about 40 min. I know its supposed to take like 4 hours. Now my ipod runs out of battery life pretty quick (just listening to music..not videos) and i think its cause my first charge wasnt to the full extent. anyone have some advice as i am worried i have really screwed up.

  • Multiple iPod User Question, PLEASE HELP!

    I already own a 30GB iPod Video which is updated to 1.1 on my Mac. I purchased a 30GB iPod Video for my wife for Valentine's Day. It will need to be formatted. What do I have to do to get her new iPod updated to 1.1. Also, do I need to update it to 1.0 first before updating to 1.1, how does this work??? If it updates to 1.1 from the start am I losing precious update info from 1.0 or will that be on the 1.1 update as well? Please help!

    All 5th Gen iPods come with at least the 1.0 firmware. There is nothing earlier, you you won't br "missing out" on anything.
    To update the new iPod from 1.0 to 1.1, just run the latest iPod Updater utility on your Mac. It should be in your Applications > Utilities folder.

  • Another battery Question - Please help!

    Ok, this is probably going to be a dumb question, but I might as well ask it...On the 30GB Video iPod- it says up to 14 hours of play, when it comes to battery life. Now obviously, I think that means, if you leave your iPod on and not turn it off, it will last 14 hours as far as playing music is concerned, right? I only ask because I use my iPod at the gym and what I do is play music from one playlist, have the backlight set at 2 sec., EQ is off and then play the music on the playlist for 1.5 hours until my workout is done. Then, the next day, I do the same thing. I've noticed that over 5 days, playing my iPod while I work out for 1.5 hours per workout, the battery lasts for about 9 hours total. Does that sound about right? Basically, I'm wondering if my battery is defective or not. Should it last 14 hours total before it needs to be re-charged?

    Well, I do go by the meter, but actually, when the meter is in "red," it lasts me about 2+ hours. When the iPod completely dies, as in music stops playing - I try to restart it, but nothing happens, so I guess my iPod at that time truly does "die out" as far as battery life is concerned...
    But I guess what I was originally asking is this: the first time I charged my iPod, I charged for 5 hours. Then, I took it to the gym, played a playlist for 1.5 hours and then turned it off for the night...I did this same routine for 5 straight days. Then, after 9 hours of total play, *i.e., 1.5 hours x 5 days/5 workouts = 9 total hours before the battery died. Is this normal? Or am I suppose to get more life out of my battery?
    Thanks again for your help!

    See these troubleshooting articles.
    My iPod is sad.
    iPod displays a "sad iPod" icon.
    What does this picture on my iPod mean?
    Also, there is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon or the folder and ! icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. If your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.

    I am on Vacations in Nicaragua and I just lost my Ipod. I did not turned on the ICloud. How can I use "Find my Ipod".? please help me.

    You cannot use it.  You would have had to set it up on your ipod itself before you lost it.  Since you did not "turn on the icloud", then you have not set up find my ipod.
    Sorry.
    There is no way to track your ipod.

  • I have iTunes 10.6.3.25 and I can't find my audiobooks that I downloaded from a library website.  The audiobook tab is visible in iTunes but none of the audiobooks are there.  They are on my iPod nano.  Please help!

    I have iTunes 10.6.3.25 and I can't find my audiobooks that I downloaded from a library website.  The audiobook tab is visible in iTunes but none of the audiobooks are there.  They are on my iPod nano.  Please help!

    When you say they are displaying in your iTunes library, are you talking about the Audiobooks section of your iTunes library and not the audiobooks section indented under the iPod in the left pane of iTunes under Devices?
    Is the iPod Shuffle configured to sync audiobooks or do you manually manage the iPod's contents?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • My apple id have been blocked an i do not remember the identity or security question please help what can i do?

    my apple id have been blocked an i do not remember the identity or security question please help what can i do?

    If your account is disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your iPhone and iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Storeand then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
    For your security questions, if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps half-way down this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (you can also try this link if you can't get your account enabled via the above)
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Using my macbook pro whole day with the power adapter , will it affect my battery? Please help

    Using my macbook pro whole day with the power adapter , will it affect my battery? Please help

    It doesn't affect the battery. You can use your MacBook Pro plugged in all the time without damaging the battery. You only have to be sure that you unplug it and run a battery cycle (drain the battery without letting the Mac turn off and charge it fully) at least once a month to keep the battery life.

    I cannot remember the answeres to my security questions, please help.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
