IPod Nano (first generation) battery is not holding charge

When I use my Ipod after the battery is fully charged, it loses power very quickly. It doesn't seem to be holding the charge as well as it used to. Sometimes the battery meter will suddenly turn red the after turning ipod off and on again it goes back to black.
Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?
Thanks.

Try Restoring it in iTunes and then Resyncing and fully charging it. If this doesn't help it is time for a new battery.

  • Ipod nano 4th generation battery is not charging in new Jaguar car

    I've just got a 2010 Jaguar XKR car which comes with special cable for ipod. When I connect my 4th generation ipod nano, I get the message that the charging is not possible with this connection. However, when I connect my old ipod nano 2nd generation, it charges just fine. I presume the problem is with the cable. I'm thinking of getting another ipod (maybe ipod "touch") and wondering if anyone has any idea whether or not there are any similar issues with other ipods. Any input will be appreciated.

    The cable in your new car should be replaced (by the installer) with the correct cable.
    The message pops up on newer iPods when you attempt to charge using FireWire.
    Newer iPod will not charge with FW but older ones will.
    The 2nd gen nano will charge with FW but the 4th gen nano will not.
    Apple notified manufacturers over three years ago that they would quit using FW to charge.

  • Have ipod nano first generation...want "search" and fast scroll from second

    hi i was just asking if anyone knew if it was possible to get an update for a ipod nano first generation that allows you to have "search" and the scroll by letter function on the new ones. I have updated my ipod nano all the way to the most recent one, but there is no search function or fast scroll.

    Unless your iPod is one of the Late 2006 upgraded 30GB or 80GB iPods or a 2nd Generation Nano, you don't have the search function. It was not added to existing devices in any of the subsequent updates.The original versions cannot be updated to the specification of the later versions.

  • IPod nano 5th generation battery is losing charge

    My iPod nano 5th generation battery is losing charge. I do not use this this ipod alot because I have older ipod iPod nano (3rd generation) which I like better. The problem is this ipod gos dead even if I don't use it. This ipod will not shut off and thats why it gos dead.
    Is there any way to troubleshoot thlis ipod nano 5th generation to find out how and why it will not shut off, because this should not go dead if your not using it...

    The iPod Nano 5th generation does not actually shut off. It "sleeps" by pressing the pause button until the screen goes black. To keep the battery from losing its charge, keep the iPod Nano connected to your computer, wall charger or a charging dock when not in use.
    When the iPod is left unattended (not charging), the battery will still lose its charge. This is mentioned in the battery section of the iPod Nano 5th Gen. User Manual.

  • I have an ipod nano 7th generation and can not get it recognised by my Windows 8.1 laptop (it appears briefly on My computer, then disappears). This happened after I updated iTunes to the latest version. Does that have something to do with it?

  • Ipod nano first generation

    I wanted to exchange my old Ipod nano first generation, so I requested the box from Apple to put my old Ipod Nano inside.
    Unfortunately the box never arrived and when I try to order it again it says the serial number of that Ipod has already been used.
    Now I try to find a way to contact the right Apple department to order a new box. Does anybody know an Email adress? Thank you.
    P.S. I'm from Germany

    A patch? All you need is a suitable mic.

  • IPod nano 7th generation battery problems

    I fully charge my iPod nano 7th generation then turn it off. Two days later I go to use it and it and it was flat. What is going on?
    sometimes i turn it off then it turns itself back on. But I sat and watched it after being charged and it stayed off but the next day it was still flat.
    I really need to know what's going on. I would appreciate any help.

    Hi Kelci27,
    There are a couple of troubleshooting steps you should take with your iPod nano. First, I would suggest a reset. See this article -
    How to reset iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    If your battery life issue persists, restore the iPod to factory condition. See this article -
    Restoring iPod to factory settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339
    Should it still not be working properly you may want to contact Apple to seek service. See this page -
