IPod buttons not working/battery discharges very quickly

I have a 2GB iPod Nano. It was working fine until yesterday when suddenly the buttons and the click wheel stopped working. Only the hold switch works now. I was using the stopwatch at that time. Not only this but the battery doesn't even last over 10 minutes anymore, even though the ipod is in sleep mode and I'm not using it (because the buttons won't do anything!), whereas the battery would easily last a whole day at least before this weird button problem. It also connects to the computer with a lot of difficulty. Every time I plug it in, the Apple logo comes up and then the screen just gets stuck. I have to unplug it and then plug it back in several times before the computer will finally detect it.
I've restored it but to no avail.
Can anyone please help me out here?

The Ion Hub charger has been successful in a couple of cases - but no guarantee. For a lower cost approach:
= Reset by pressing Play and Menu at the same time - the standard first step.
= Apple has a tech support listing that may be relevant

IPod Buttons not working - Solved

I have a 60G iPod that wasn't working and I resolved it. I don't know what generation iPod I have but I bought it in 2005. Anyways I was recently having issues where the buttons just weren't responding no matter what I did, it was just unusable. I couldn't play music adjust the volume or even reset it. I solved my problem by plugging it in to charge, toggled the lock button and then the buttons worked. I reset it (menu center for about 10 secs.) I was on this forum looking for an answer and couldn't find one. I just hope this helps someone else.
Thanks,

Lock button not working and gettin very hot when used.

Hi my lock button started working intermittently but now has stopped working completely. When in use it get very hot and when charging its so hot u can't touch it. Unsure what to do as only had iPhone 5 since march.

Your phone is still under warranty. Bring the phone to Apple for evaluation and probable replacement.

Draging library music to ipod button- NOT WORKING

Hi, I am updating music manually...which I want to do. When I copy songs from my library to my ipod, by draging to my ipod button, it doesnt go into my itunes library and on to my computer. does anyone know whats wrong?

You can select the exact content that you sync to your iPod every time that you sync if you want to do so.
When the iPod is connected to the computer, launch iTunes and select your iPod under the devices heading on the left side of the iTunes window. Click on the Summary tab and select Syncs On,y Checked Songs and Videos - I can't remember the exact wording but you will see it in the options. Then click on the Music Tab. Select the albums, songs, playlist - Howe evr you arrange your music - and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.

Battery discharges very quickly when not in use

After fully charging my Nano and leaving it for a day I find that it discharges leaving 2-3 hours of playing time.
In fact, even when fully charged I would be lucky to get 8 hours playing time.
I appreciate that the battery slowly discharges when not in use but my Mini certainly retains its charge far longer than my Nano.
I have tried "conditioning" the battery occassionally but no use.
Anyone else have this problem or is my batter faulty?

nevermind - just read an article on the apple site saying the battery is in use even when it's turned off, i suppose to save the date and time.
Wish there were an option to completely turn it off - i dont really care about the date and time.

NB520 battery discharges very quickly

Hi
My NB520 has recently developed a problem.
It was working fine and i charged it up to 99% then when i removed the charger, a message appears saying ''0:05 of battery remaining (99%)'' and then ''computer will suspend very soon unless it is plugged in''.
So even though it is registering the 99% charge it thinks there is only 5 minutes of operation time left.
Is this a battery problem or a motherboard problem?
Thanks

Hi
For me it looks like a battery malfunctionmaybe you could try to calibrate the battery several times in order to increase the performance but not quite sure if this would help in this case
To calibrate the battery you should discharge the battery until it would be fully empty. Then charge it again until the battery indicator would switch to blue or green (this depends on model you have).
If this would not help, I would recommend testing new battery.

IPhone 5 battery discharges VERY quickly; adjusts own brightness; won't connect to wi-fi.

For the past 7 months my phone has been dying faster and faster. I cannot take it anymore. My phone was 100% when I got out of my car, 34% when I got out of my 75-minute class and 11% by time I got to my car (3-minute walk). WHILE IN MY BACKPACK; NOT BEING TOUCHED. I plugged the car charger into my phone and the phone jumps to 54%. After 15 minutes of charging, the phone is 77% charged. By time my 1 hour and 15 minute class is over my phone is at 22%. I unlocked my phone to get to the home screen and I instantly receive the "10% battery remaining" pop-up, I hit OK, and then the 10% drops to 1% right before my eyes. This has been the norm for the past 7 months, so I have to keep an external battery charger on me. This is my second iPhone, my first iPhone was doing the SAME things that this one is doing. It also adjusts its own brightness. I slide it close to being all the way down to save battery. I can lock the phone and unlock it and the brightness is turned all the way up or intermittently moving upwards (to the right) on its own. My phone is constantly on 3G rather than LTE in the same places where I have always had LTE. Wi-fi will be on, but it won't connect to my home network or won't be able to find it although my iPod connects just fine. Sometimes it won't show ANY networks at ALL. I reduced my bill from 10GB to 6GB because I am tired of paying a $200 phone bill and I rarely ever go over 4GB because I always use wi-fi - at home and at school (& I work from home). I have since had to go back to 10 GB to avoid overages because my phone won't connect to wi-fi. My phone does not have any damage to it, just like my last iPhone didn't.
Hard resets and soft resets do not do anything. I prefer not to have to keep getting iPhone 5s.
Any help on solving all of these issues would be great. Thank you.

This is possibly caused by the updates, but some phones had bad batteries.
have you been dealing with Apple directly? You should. Only apple covers your phone..
Last thing you can try.
back up your phone, a full backup to computer is preferred
restore to factory. It is preferred you connect to a computer and use iTunes to restore to factory.
set up as new with iTunes.
Restore your phone from the backup on your computer.
If the problem is not resolved, please make an appointment with Apple.

IPod buttons not working

Hello!
I purchased an iPod back in 2002, one of the original 20GB iPods w/ four buttons and a touch-wheel. It had been working wonderfully until late last year when the battery completely died. I had the battery replaced soon after and it had been working wonderfully ever since.
However, recently I have been unable to do anything with it. I can connect it to the computer and use it fine. It keeps a great charge and turns on promptly. However, once I get the 'Menu' screen, I can't do anything. The buttons don't work and the click-wheel doesn't scroll. The hold button is off and it still doesn't work. With the hold button on, I can see the little icon, but there is no change; none of the buttons work. Because of this reason, I haven't been able to turn it off promptly, so it just goes off on it's power-saving mode... only to be turned on by switching the hold button on/off.
I was wondering if this is a common problem. Obviously I have to take it to get it fixed but I was inquiring as to whether it was fix-able. A connection might have come loose or a wire might have been fried (I'm just guessing here). Can this problem be fixed?? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,
Carolyn

T430-2342-CTO: 9-cell battery discharges very quickly

Hi, my T430-2342-CTO just arrived two days ago. I love everything about it, and I am really happy with my purchase. However, there is a bit of a problem with the battery. One of the reasons that I got Type 2342 was that it had a 9-cell battery, advertised to function for over 15 hours, an attribute that has been confirmed by multiple reviews. However, my battery struggles to last for 4 hours. I'm really not doing anything: I'm running Chrome (a browser) and Gvim (a text editor) at the same time, and that's it.
And yet, it doesn't last over 4 hours. My battery utility tells me that it can hold 93.6 Wh, or 5616 Ws, which is an extremely tiny capacity (if my computer ran at 100 W, then the computer would run out of battery in one minute). Why is the capacity of my battery impaired like this? Can I get a replacement? I have a 4-year warranty plan for the battery, but I am under the impression that I would have to buy a new plan for the replacement battery if I used that warranty on this battery. Is there some out-of-the-box plan that I can invoke? Or, better yet, can I fix my problems from here.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

At 93.6Wh, if your computer ran at 100W, it would run out in one hour, and not one minute.
You want to check what your rate of consumptions is. One of the key points is making sure the discrete graphics card isn't active all the time. That'll cut you rbattery life in half pretty quickly.
Also make sure you're not running too many resident programs because they all end up using some amount of battery life, and having a ton of those really adds up.

Battery BL5C charges and discharges very quickly

Hi,
I am using Nokia 1650, Battery BL5C. This battery fully charges in less than 1 hour(the messgae saying battery fully charged pops-up). And this, so-called fully charged battery discharges very quickly, in a days time and mobile gets switched off. Mobile is used only for making and receiving calls which are very few and also i usually do not use it for playing games on it. (Point is, its not so heavily used to discharge the battery so quickly.)
Is this battery problem or phone's hardware/software problem? I heard its happening to quite a many cell phones.
The mobile phone I used earlier also had this problem.
Thanks.

Try to calibrate it.
1. Run the battery empty.
2. Charge it without turning the phone on.
3. Once battery full, turn it on, and try to charge again until you get the full warning.
4. Let the battery run till dry again
5.Charge without turning the phone on
6. Boot then charge to full
Battery should be calibrated by then,.

Did all the updates that Apple requested in my 64 GB IPOD and the battery continues discharging very quickly. When this problem will be solved, because before these updates were downloading not the battery so quickly. Did we revive the Steve Jobs to resolve the problem, because each update only worsens the operation. I look forward to a quick, effective and definitive solution. Thank You. Ester

IPod touch 5 battery drains very quickly even when not used

HI , I got a new iPod touch 5 for Christmas and let the battery drain before charging to 100%.
within a very short period of time and without using the iPod , (poss 2 - 3 hours ) the iPod was completly flat and would not even show the charging symbol. I charged it again and the same happened again , i did update the iPod during this time so it is currently running the latest iOS , I have tried a hard reset but still the battery drains very quickly without using the iPod at all. It is currently pretty useless as the battery life is so short !!!
