IPOD CLASSIC BATTERY REPLACEMENT?

Suggestions for a brand & kit (et. al.) for replacing the battery in my iPod classic?

Jerry Kaiser,
There are no user servicable part on any iPod. You will either have to contact AppleCare Technical support or if you have an Apple Retail Store in your area make a Genius Bar appointment and they can handle it in store.
Hope this helps.

5th generation iPod Classic Battery Replacement

I just replaced the battery in my 5th generation iPod video after having it for four years. I followed the instructions that's supposed to help me get the most out of my battery. The battery life did increase. However, I expected a little more life from it. I'm thinking maybe I should reset/restore my iPod to original factory settings. Is this a good idea? Does anyone have any insight on this subject?

It won't do any harm... It will just make it like it was syncing for the first time. Music, video, and picture will be erased and other things will be reset; you will just have to re-tailor it to your liking.
For your situation, however, I don't think it's necessary. How long do you usually get out of it?

I am planning on buying an Ipod classic to replace my old ipod nano, i am wondering if when i buy it can i plug it straight into my itunes and will everything be transferred from my nano, or will it delete everything? songs etc...

I am planning on purchasing an ipod classic to replace my old ipod nano. I am just wondering if i am able to plug it in to my itunes, and everthing will be transferred onto the classic simply? Or will it automatically delete all my songs as it will not recognise the classic? Also, will it inform me what to do when i plug the classic in, to set it up?

If you want to have the photos stored on an external HD, you probably should move them there in your operating system before you import into Lightroom.
But, if you don't yet own an external HD, you can import from the internal hard drive and later move the photos to wherever you want them to be, as long as you do it properly.

Yesterday I purchased a new ipod classic to replace one that had worn out. The price was $179. I wonder if I am eligible for the extended warranty for $59. Can't seem to navigate through the apple support option to get answer. Anyone know?

Put in the serial number but was not offered an extended apple care plan. I guess if you purchase a new one because your old one is out of warranty you get a deal for $179 but you don't get a chance for an extended warranty. You don't get a new box or earbuds, just a brand new iPod. Good deal but since my first died under warranty, got a new one for free, second one I smashed the screen and got a new one for (I don't remember) and now the hard drive went and I paid $179 for a new one, I was hoping to get an extended warranty. But I guess not...
Thank you!

IPod classic battery has suddenly started draining in ~6 hours while turned off

Hi all...would love your advice!
I have a 6th or 7th gen iPod Classic (120gb) for 3 years now and it has been wonderful...until a few weeks ago. Whilst travelling overseas I started connecting my iPod to the stereo system (pioneer I think) of the rental car I was using, and all played fine, but after I disconnected it I and tried to use it the next day I discovered that the battery had drained to zero. I continued to use it for the next couple of weeks like this, each time trying something different after disconnecting to turn the battery off to see if it would not drain, but it always did...usually gradual and taking roughly 5 or 6 hours. (Normally I just turn it off by holding the play button). I played around with the Hold lock, but that change anything help.
So after coming home I hoped I would be able to get it back on my macbook with my iTunes with all the advice of support communities and get it working again. But there doesnt seem to be any recent topics on this with iPods which have been useful that I could find (some old ones where firmware updates resolved the problem). So...I have tried Apple Support's 5 steps to resolve generic problems, but to no avail. The software is apparently all up to date...both on my iTunes and my iPod (2.0.1). I restored the iPod and then replaced my music on it, then tried it again, but no luck. I then did it again and only put back on one album only (to see if perhaps it was a corrupt file triggering it) and tried again, but the problem persists. I have checked settings - backlight is set at 5 seconds and it has no problem going off. Alarm is not on. Nothing else seems to be unusual. I dont think it was ever was left in extreme conditions (certainly not recently, the weather was mild where I was). So I really cant figure it out. One thing that seemed to happen at the same time was that connecting to this car system seemed trigger the song shuffle function and it would always start playing the same random selection of songs. People talk about being able to hear the hard drive still spinning, but honestly I cant hear it while it is off or on.
So my best guess is that the stereo system triggered some kind of malfunction which makes the hard drive remain constantly spinning and therefore quickly drains the battery. But I have no idea what to do about it! Any ideas, I would be so very grateful! :-)

I would look at several things. I'm assuming it shows fully charged after you charge it and that this is a new iphone and not used. Check your location services under Privacy: Location Services for apps that use your location. If you have apps always checking your location it can use power. Turn off any you don't really need. You can always turn them back on.
Check you wifi settings. Turn off the " Ask to join other Networks". If you are driving down the road it will be looking for other networks to join.
Turn off any apps running in the background that are not needed.
Restart your iPhone after you have done this. Hopefully this will improve your battery usage.

Vintage iPods - No battery replacements available?

Hi, I purchased a 120GB iPod Classic and a 16GB iPod Nano in 2009 and have been told that I can't get replacement batteries for them as they are 'Vintage'. Neither sustains the battery charge any more. Any suggestions? Seems a waste after only five years.

Hi Baleson,
iPod battery replacement is available for all models of iPod. See this article -
iPod battery frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Question: Can I get the battery replaced?
Answer: Yes. All models of iPod are covered by the Out of Warranty Battery Program. See the iPod battery service FAQ.
To arrange for battery replacement, see this page -
Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
See the section on Battery Service.
Note that if you are not in the United States you will need to change the country to correctly reflect your location.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

30GB iPod Classic Battery

I have a 30 GB iPod Classic, the battery only lasts about 6 hours. I have the 3 year warranty. Would Best Buy just replace my battery, or would they give me a new iPod?

You can either have it repaired, or send it through Rapid Exchange which replaces it with a refurb in 7-10 business days.

IPod mini battery replacement

I am in the midst of testing my iPod mini for the battery replacement program. My question is if I qualify for the program, will I be sent a new iPod mini, or the current equivalent, an iPod nano?
Any help at all will be appreciatied!

The information on this page says that your replacement will be functionally equivalent to the original, which suggests that you will be sent another iPod mini. You might get sent one of a different color, and if your original iPod mini is gold, you will definitely get another color.

IPod Nano Battery Replacement

I had a nano which I sold to my brother. The nano was purchased less than a month after the release so the warranty is over. He mentioned to me the other day that his battery was lasting less than 4 hours. I turned off the EQ for him, that has helped a little however, no great amount.
*Has anybody used the battery replacement program? ($60 = iPod exchange)
*Will they give him a 2G nano?
*Should I tell him to go through apple or a third party?(which 3rd party?)
The iPod is great, but less then 1.5 years on a battery is not.
Any help would be appreciated thanks.

I have not used the 60 dollar exchange program however I did change my own battery. It is a little bit of a challange, but not real hard. You can get one that is a higher capicity then the one that apple puts in the nano. They are around 30 dollars if you do it yourself and a little bit higher if they do it.
You will also get the same type of ipod back, i.e. first gen, you get a first gen.
I have used both these vendors and they have been reliable. Ipodmods.com and ifixipodsfast.com Both are in the U.S. not sure where you are from but you could always google for a third party.

IPod Classic Screen Replacement

so i got a new ipod classic and the screen is really scratched up from being in my backpack at school. The scratches are really big and annoying. Will Apple replace my screen if i pay for it? i know they wont do it for free but do they even offer that service?

No, they don't offer that type of service.
You can send it to a 3rd party repair service, such as http://www.iresq.com for a screen replacement, or you can try to replace it yourself, http://www.ifixit.com.
How deep are these scratches? If they are not really deep you can try this:

IPod Classic Battery Question

I just recently got an iPod classic and before I bought it I did some research on it and the battery life is what really got me to get this particular one. It says that the battery last for 30 hours through music playback and 5 hours for movies, yet my iPod Classic barely made it through the school day. Is there something that I am doing, or not doing? Also is it true that the iPod Classic can play music for up 30 hours because that is what was said on CNET.com

First off the key words in the specification for battery like is UP TO 30 hours, meaning 30 hours is sort of an almost unachievable upper limit that under certain very specific conditions Apple was able to get that long. Conditions you and I are never likely to be able to duplicate and match.
Battery life is dependant on many things. How much you use and how bright you set the backlighting, what encoding you use for your music (AIFF songs eat up battery life faster), how much your drive has to spin up and be accessed, if you tend to let the iPod just play or if you are always jumping around to new songs, etc.
For super long battery life, you are basically looking at never using the backlight, using AAC or MP3 encoded songs that have a lower bit rate, and that you let the iPod fill the internal cache and play the songs in the order it plays them and never jump around to different songs. With the exception of the backlight, the other ones minimize disk drive access and extend battery life.
If on the other hand you have the backlight on a lot, watch a lot of videos, play games on the iPod, are constantly jumping around from song to song and artist to artist, your battery life will suffer.

Just replaced ipod classic battery but wont recharge after it went dead??

Oringinal battery was dead so i replaced the battery, when i replaced the battery the new battery had some charge to it and would charge but only half way, so i let it die so i could recharge it to calibrate the battery but it wont recharge it just says charging, please weight. Is it possible that i got a defetive battery?? or somthing wrong with the main board??

Thank you, I just read a forum reponse that spoke about charging as it related to use of an iHome charge and the disconnecting of that iPod at:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/734757?start=0&tstart=0
I believe this answered my question as well, especially talking about the new Lithium-ion batteries as are found in the 6th generation iPod.
Helpful and thanks - more discussion continuing might be helpful as well.

On the iPod itself? If so, you'll have no choice but to send the iPod in for repair or start saving for a new one.

IPod classic battery/disc/firmware problem?

I have my iPod for about 2 years. Now he has a few problems, but I can not determine what was wrong with him. It all started from the time when I had to leave urgently and I unplugged it before it finishes syncing. After that, the problems began. iTunes constantly shows that it is fully charged but the charge continues. After such a charge, he shows that a fully charged, but it lasts only a few hours. He recently became rebooting spontaneously. After that, I tried to re-format it, but it helped him for a while. After just one a day it started all over again. Has anybody had similar symptoms? 'Cause I did not understand what was wrong with him.
p.s. Sorry for my english

Yes I have a similar problem. Did you get a fix?
My iPod 160 shows full charge for a minute or so and then switches to no charge at all and dies.
It has never shown a state of partial charge before switching off. After charging, it always shows that it is fully charged, then it switches to no charge at all.
