IPod not holding its charge

I have had my iPod colour 60gb model for just over a month now and all of a sudden the battery is not holding its charge. It is literally going from full to empty in minutes. Anyone else experienced this?

I had a similar problem with a mini, (no not the car, the ipod!) and did a reset and then it held the charge next time.

My ipad in not holding its charge. A 100% will only last a half of a day depending on how long I use it. 2yrs in december

batteries can only hold a full charge for so many years and you say yours is almost 2 years out. Also, of course battery time will fluctuate depending on how you use it.

Battery not holding its charge

My iPad battery is not holding its charge

How long does it stay charged?
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or - Recalibrate the battery. See link below.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

Iphone 5 not holding its charge

My iphone 5 looses its charge quickly without being used. I had it on the charger all night and it was only at 94%. It looses its charge in just a few hours with out use. It has just a couple of apps open.

There are a couple possibilities. What have you done so far to try to resolve this?
If you haven't already done so, first reset your iPhone (hold the Home & Sleep/Wake buttons until the Apple logo appears). If that doesn't help, connect your iPhone to iTunes, and make a full backup, then hit the "restore" button to re-download the iOS file from Apple and restores your machine with it. After restoring your backup, if the problem still exists, then Try restoring as a new device to see if the problem persists. If so, then your next step would be to try a Genius Bar appointment to see if the battery is just bad. If you are still under warranty (or Apple Care) then it might be a free replacement, otherwise it might be as high as an out of warranty $269 replacement.

7th Gen NANO ipod not holding a charge

My Nano will hold a partial charge lasting 2hrs play time. This occurs even with wall charger or USB connection. I have tried resetting to factory defaults. Anyone one have any idea(s)?

Hello there DOC045,
It sounds to me like you've done all the troubleshooting you can for this issue where your iPod doesn't hold a charge. I would next have to recommend you have your iPod nano serviced:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

IPod not holding a charge

My fourth generation iPod touch does not register when I plug it in to charge or when I try to sync it to iTunes. I haven't dropped it, and it has not been damaged in any way, and it isn't even a year old. Could there be a manufacturing problem? Will apple fix it for no charge since I haven't done anything to damage it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
and
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Ipod not retaining its charge

I have an 80gb ipod, purchased in 2006. When I charge it the indicator shows the battery as charged but it fails to hold it. Is it possible to get a new battery installed?

Yes. Apple will replace your battery for the fee indicated on this page.

A third party service may be less expensive. Google for "iPod battery replacement" for a few possibilities.

HT201401 I have an iPhone 3GS and its not holding its charge and has a crack on the back how much to fix it

I have an iPhone 3GS and the phone doesn't hold it's charge and has a crack so how much to fix the phone as I love it and I can't afford a new one

You can do an out-of-warranty replacement of the phone with Apple for $149 USD.

Wot can i do about my iphone not holding its charge and getting very hot

The Warranty duration is the Warranty of the Original iPhone. If that Warranty has now lapsed, then the replacement has a 90 day Warranty from when you received the replacement iPhone.

Anyone else's ipod not holding a charge??

My ipod seems to die on me after about an hour... anyone else having similar problems?

I connect ipod to an outlet but i've also tried connecting it to the computer. I've only had it for a few days.

After being dropped in water my Ipod will only work when hooked up to the computer or docking station. It will not hold a charge. What do I need to do?

My son dropped his Ipod in some water, we put in a bag of rice overnight and it works fine when connected to the computer or docking statioon but it will not hold its charge once it is off the cable & not hooked up, so he cannot listen to it unhooked.. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!!

Take it to an Apple store. Most likely you will have to get a replacement for which you will be charged the replacement fee.
Rice only absorbs water. But it cannot prevent damage to the device.

Why isnt my ipod holding its charge?

since i got my ipod in 2011 my ipod wasnt holding its charge. i have wanted to threaten the company to send me a new one for free because i charged it all night when i got it and the next day when i went to use it my battery was dead in less than 5min.

First threatening will not work, bad idea-- always tends to put people off. Have you ruled out a bad cable or charger, or damage or corrosion to the charging port? You could try a Reset, may help, but I'm thinking your battery has gone south. The battery is not meant to last forever, they do wear out. Are you having any other problems, like over heating during charging or during use, did the charging cycles seem to get longer and longer as use time shortened? After approximately 400 charging cycles the battery starts to fail, not holding a charge is a symptom. Maybe time for a new battery. Apple will replace for $79.00 plus shipping and handling and taxes. You may want to contact your Apple store or the Apple Genius Bar and have your iPod evaluated. Good luck, Cheers.

MY new Ipod Nano does not hold a charge. I use it mostly as a watch, perhaps look at it 5 or 6 times in 8 hours, and leave it in sleep mode the rest of the time. I drains to the red line in less than 2 days. My husband's nano will last a week this way.

Am I doing something incorrectly to cause this short battery life?

You are still under warranty if your iPod is "new." Take full advantage of it by either calling iPod tech support, Apple Care if you have it or take it in to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.
