IPod Touch 4th Gen Battery Issue
My iPod Touch 4th gen drains the battery while sitting idle overnight. I listen to it all day at work with normal battery usage. When I got home I charged my touch to 100% then left it disconnected in standby mode overnight and in the morning the it is down to 50%. I checked and there are no apps running in the background. What on earth is happening? I also have a 3rd Gen Touch, with all the same apps and it does not do this.
I have 2 4th gen Touch and they are both behaving the same way.
Any ideas?
Is it possible that FaceTime is polling or something?

I am having the exact same problem. I even wiped out my ipod touch, took out all the apps, and turned off all notifications, wifi, bluetooth ect... Then I fully charged it to 100% and left it in stand-by all night. The next morning it was so dead, I had to plug it up and wait about 5-10 minutes until it would even turn on. I sent it back to apple, and they sent it back to me, saying they tried to recreat the issue but it never happened to them. I am at my wits end with it now. And when I sent it to apple, I asked them if I should take off the screen protector, because the man on the phone told me they would probable send me a new one. Well, they sent me the old one, so they made me take off a $23 screen protector, just for them to send me back the old one. I could just scream. Oh and did I mention I sent it scratch free, and got it back with a lovely arrangement of scratches on the back. Thanks apple. You will be hearing from me soon. Let me know if ayone else gets this issue resolved.

I got an iPod Touch 4th gen last week. I started setting it up the other day and successfully sync'd one album even after the latest iOS update. I ripped a few cd's and wanted to add those to the iPod as of today. However, I no longer able to sync anything. I'm using the latest iTunes software for Windows 64 bit. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. I followed the troubleshooting steps @ http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 to no avail. When I connect the iPod to my pc, I get a sound that it connects, but it just is not recognized by iTunes. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue? I also don't see a way to restore the backup from the iOS update.
Note: This is my first Apple product so maybe I'm missing something obvious.Try connecting to another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem.

TS2771 iPod touch 4th gen playback issues
Why does my iPod touch 4th gen randomly silence during playback or skips to another song
If the music plays OK in iTunes:
- Unsync and resync the music.
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

IPod Touch 4th Gen Sync issues
I have an iPod Touch 4th Gen but when I sync it with iTunes not all songs come across to the iPod. It's not that they are there and greyed out, they are not there at all? I have forced a sync numerous times and checked all settings to include everything to be synced but still some songs will not go across.
All software is up to date, any ideas?FIXED MY SYNC PROBLEM:
Finally found out why all of my music wasn’t syncing….. After the short sync time, a box would come up stating that there were “errors” when syncing. They were 14 tracks that had been deleted, but were still somewhere in a playlist.
If your getting a sync error message at the end, and there was a problem with some tracks.
Take a screen shot of the “error” list.
Go to your Library, click on Music, then Playlists.
Search for and delete each individual track name from the "error" list.
Click on iPod and “Sync” again.
Pretty silly that it wouldn't just skip those tracks and sync the rest. Hope this helps. -
What is wrong with the ipod touch 4th gen battery?
I have an 8gb 4th gen ipod touch that I purchased in December 2011. I charged it completely last night after doing a full reset, and by morning the battery was only at half charge. I've turned off all unnecessary services, no apps were running, no music/video play, just in sleep mode. Still the battery drained down at least 50%.
Is anyone else experiencing these problems? Have you found a way to extend the battery charge?Try this:
iPod: How to extend battery life
You did not say if the iPod was in airplane mode. That helps a lot. With iOD 5, the battery does drain faster than before. -

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. (Is this wiping) See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. (you mayhave done this by wiping)
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I've had my iPod touch for a few years now, but recently The battery life drains very fast, even if I go on one app it goes down half way after charging it full, I don't know why? My iPod will last me 30-1hour, is there a way of fixing this? :-)

Music and Videos are gone after charging Ipod Touch 4th gen battery
The battery had completly died on my Ipod touch. Once it was fully charged, I unplugged it from the wall and turned it on, but all of my videos and music were gone!! However, my apps and photos were still there as well as my settings. What caused this?
Yes it did come 70% charged but I charged it, then drained it to charge it from 0% to 100%
the problem is from 0% it took 1 hour and 4 minutes 43 seconds to be fully charged to 100%
This doesn't seem normal as apple says it takes 4 hours. -

IPod Touch 4th gen driver issues
My iTouch and every other iPod I have is not syncing via iTunes. I uninstalled the drivers according to Apple's guide on how to fix the issue, but it made it worse. Now with evey iPod I plug in, it doesn't see it. How do I get these drivers back onto my Windows 7 computer? I've already tried device manager and it doesn't show the "Apple Mobile Device" driver.
Hello!.
Maybe it's a problem with the Apple Mobile Device service that is not executing or is deactivated. Maybe it was caused by error.
Go to Start > Control Panel > System and security > Admin Tools > Services
Or
Start > Execute > and type "services.msc" (without ")
Search for "Apple Mobile Device" service. Maybe it is deactivated, if so, click on Run service. This might solve your problem. Hope this helps you.
PS: Sorry for my bad english.
Greetings!

Hello everyone I brought a second hand ipod touch 4th gen and it all worked fab except it wouldn't let me put any new apps on it so my friend suggested I restore it which I did but while it was restoring the battery died. Now it doesn't seem to be charging and I have left it for ages through the laptop and tried it through a geniune apple plug in charger but its not working. When you plug in the cable to the laptop or plug the little grey apple comes up on the screen but only stays on for about 5 maybe 6 seconds. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried all the trouble shooting suggestions on apple but none of its worked, Shall we just bin it and learn from our mistakes.
