IPod passes Apple battery test but only lasts 2hrs during normal use

I have a 1st generation iPod mini; the battery has been acting up lately. I have done Apple's battery test a few times; each time the battery lasts for 6-8 hrs. However, during normal use, it lasts only 1.5-2hrs, even after a full charge.
I have this problem even when the backlight and the EQ is off. Also, the battery dies, even though the battery meter is half full. If I immediatly turn on the iPod, the meter is empty, but after 20 min, it's half full again. When I try to play music, it turns off.
On top of this, the battery takes a minmum of 8hrs to fully charge!
Please help...!

My ipod mini 2nd generation was like this too.. it would reset itself resetting the time also for no reason every 20mins.. and it wouldnt hold a charge.. i sent it in thursday and i should get it back this week.. if your ipod is in warranty.. send it back asap!

  • New Apple battery for macbook only lasting half as long as my old battery.

    I'm having a bit of trouble here. Last month a family member needed to leave on an emergency trip but was having battery problems and didn't have time to get a new battery before catching her flight, so I gave her mine and a day or two later went to the apple store and bought a new OEM apple battery for myself. I believe that the old battery had around 80-90% left in its life and performance from the way it would act. Unfortunately this new battery would not interface with the computer at first. I followed the apple page battery troubleshooting recommendations and ended up resetting my power service manager (sorry if I'm butchering the name here) by removing the power sources and holding the power button for 5 seconds. It fixed the interface problems and the computer now recognizes the battery just fine. However, the battery life on this new battery is pretty poor. I only get about 60 minutes of youtube video watching out of it before its done (no other applications running), or about 100 minutes of general non-streaming use. My old battery was at least double this, if not more. Does anyone have any ideas where I should look next? Here is some battery information that might help:

    Many thanks if anyone has an idea what I should do to help fix this. My Macbook has been great other than this one issue.

    Have you tried calibrating your battery?

  • 3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics.  Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one.  From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...

    Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
    There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

  • Battery expanding out of its casing after only 2 years of normal use.

    Has anyone experienced a battery expanding out of its casing after only 2 years of normal use?  Apple (Genius Bar) state that batteries for Macbooks are only guaranteed for 1 year, and I'm not happy with that answer.  I do not have Applecare.  I'm not sure where to take my complaint?
    Thanks.

  • My Mum and my Dad both have Apple ID's but only my Mum will let me buy something but my iTouch is currently on my Dad's ID. How can I change my iPod's ID to a different Apple ID?

    My parents both have Apple ID's but my Dad wont let me buy anything but I'm on his Apple ID on my iTouch and I'm unsure how to switch the Apple ID I'm using on my iTouch to my mum's. Any help? NOTE: The thing I'm trying to buy is not an App, but it's an add-on thing for a game called Snoopy's Fair.

    Tracy, see this article:  iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store account
    Before you change it, read that article carefully and make sure you really want to do it. 
    Also, note that if you are using Auto Downloading, the Terms and Conditions state that "You may switch an Associated Device to a different Account only once every 90 days." 

  • Hp mini 110-3000, unexpectedly shutdown when unplugged. Pass the "battery test" !

    Hi,
    My HP mini 110-3000 acts up recently.
    It randomly shuts down.
    Only when unplugged. (On battery)
    No error message shown.
    This happens when battery power is around 60%
    It's definetly not thermal, the netbook lasts forever when plugged in. (unless running on battery makes it hotter ???)
    But it doesn't feel any hotter. It's just warm to the touch, normal.
    I also did the battery test as suggested, says that everything is fine.
    Worked fine just a month ago.  
    The battery would drain normally, with warning message around 12% then sleep around 9%.
    Now, it shuts down around 60%. 
    It was bought less than 19 months ago... I would expect something a longer lifetime.
    Any hint would help.
    Thank you
    Etienne 

    19 months is on the short side but in the range of normal battery longevity. Given your description it is extemely unlikely to be anything other than it just needs a new battery.

  • I want to run apple Hardware Test but can't find it on any CD's.  I bought my iMac in 2009.  I think it had 10.4 installed.  It's not on my installation disk.  Where can I find it?

    I want to run Apple Hardware Text but can't find it on any CD's.  I bought my iMac in 2009.  It came with 10.4.  Apple Hardware Test is not on the installation disk.  Should I have it?  Where can I find it?  I"m now running 10.7.4.

    The disc plainly state:
    To  use the AHT, hold down the D key as the computer starts up.
    Works here. However, there was an issue with installing Lion that screwed this process up.
    Mount disc 2, run this command in the Terminal app, OPTION-click & hold Finder's Dock icon, and select RELAUNCH:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1
    That unhides all hidden files/folders.
    Now, drill down to /"Applications Install\ Disc"/System/Library/CoreServices/ and drag the .diagnostics folder into your Lion boot volume's /System/Library/CoreServices/ folder. That might require you to authenticate to copy the folder into the CoreServices subfolder.
    Run this command to hide the normally hidden files/folders and RELAUNCH the Finder again.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0
    This should allow the machine to boot into AHT when restarting and holding down the D key.
    If that doesn't do the trick, run this command in the Terminal app:
    sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/CoreServices/.diagnostics
    At the Password: prompt, carefully type in your admin password, since nothing shows up on the screen, and hit the return key. Then, try another restart, holding down the D key.

    i use 2 apple 2nd generation tvs, on mulity speakers, computer and 2 tvs have audio but only one has video, why does the video not play on all at the same time

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I'm not entirely sure whether you're asking if it should or why it doesn't. To cover the first point it isn't supposed to, so your set up is working correctly.
    As to why not I'm not absolutely sure, it isn't a bandwidth restriction as whilst I can't be certain that all our 6 Apple TVs have all been streaming video at the same time (when initiated from the Apple TV), I believe at least 4 have on occasions. So I imagine it's another technical limitation that I'm not aware of, perhaps it's a synchronisation problem, who knows.

  • Max memory used in imac 2007 is 4gb but only 3 gb is every used

    imac mid 2007 24inch has 4 gb installed but only uses 3gb.

    It seems that there is other data that is taking up space on the iPod. I suggest formating the iPod.
    Connect the iPod
    Open My Computer
    Right Click the iPod
    Choose Format
    Simply click ok.
    Once you have formated the iPod you need to restore it (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983)
    Then try and update the music on the iPod.

  • Shuffle Recognized in iTunes, but Only by iMac During Transfers

    So, I can transfer mp3s via my USB port fine. The problem is that the transfers are extremely slow. It is not related to the 128acc transfer problem others have been having. I have not elected for the option.
    I am assuming the problem is related to the issue in my heading: the iPod shows up in my iTunes, but not on the HD/my computer or desktop unless a song is being actively transferred. While single and multiple mp3 files are being transferred iTunes says "Syncing iPod--don't disconnect" repeatedly. After every song or two is transferred, the warning reappears, the iPod icon disappears from the desktop and HD. It's as though the iPod were a ghost and the only device/software to recognize it is iTunes. It is making transfers extremely slow.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I am also having this problem via MacBook. The Shuffle only shows up adding songs to it. It is constantly appearing and dissappearing. I'm pretty sure this slows down transfer times due to trying to mount every other song.
