IPod touch battery and new ipod touch repairing decision
Hi,
I have an iPod touch 4th generation(8gb)that I have had for about 2 years. A few months ago I noticed something wrong with it. Whenever I kept the battery fully charged it decided to shut off by it's self even when it acted fully charged. Now I'm trying to decided if I can actually get a professional to repair the battery for it or if it's best to get a new iPod touch. Otherwise I don't know what else I can do. My warranty expired so I'm thinking getting a new battery will not be free either way. I don't think there's water damage unless if there is I don't know where to look on the iPod. Need help to figure out what I should do about the battery because the buttons and screen is fine I think it's just the battery that is the problem. Although I did hear about the next ios7 or something, but I wouldn't think that would have anything to do with this. I've asked a worker in an iPhone repair shop place about this problem and they agreed it has to do with the battery. No matter how many times I have kept it charged fully or started charging it won't stay on unless it stays charging.
Try:
- 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.
- Reset all settings
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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. If onoly a battery than battery replacement is an option. Apple might tell yo what is wrong so you can them make an informed decision.

macbook pro 15" mid 2010 i spilled water on keyboard now it wont power on if the battery is connected and the keys on keyboard doesnt work it works fine with no battery and external keyboard if i order a battery and new keyboard will every else work again lik it did before
If you have records that show that you've taken your MacBook Pro in for a year to fix the machine, I would escalate the problem to Apple Customer Relations - unfortunately I don't have a number for Spain.
It would only seem logical to me that if you've been trying to have the machine repaired during the time that the 'recall' was in effect that you should be eligible for a new logic board. But only customer relations will be able to make that call.
Good luck - take the issue as high up the food chain as you can and see what happens.

iPod touch not responding and has white screen. Tried to restore, drain battery and re-charge etc but still nothing. What can I do?
Try what you have not tried so far. You may have tried all and the Apple store maybe in order.

- 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.

My IPOD needed repairing, so I backed up my personal data into a restore file. In the end my ipod was exchanged for a brand new one and now I am having difficulty with restoring all of my data that I saved.
While trying to restore through iTunes I keep gettingthe corrupt or not compatible error message. Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this issue?
Much Appreciated for any help!You can not restorea a backup made with a newer version of iOS to a phone with an older version of iOS.
1400 photos stored on the phone? Do you not EVER extract them? The camera roll is intended to be temporary storage. Like the SD card in a digital camera. You should be extracting them to your computer on a regular basis.
Contacts should be synced to a compatible contact manager or cloud service. If you were not doing any of these things, guard your backups with your life and make sure your computer is being backed up on a regular basis, because you won't be able to get them back until you get a new phone with at least the same version of iOS that your 4 had.
There are 3rd party applications that say they can extract this information from a backup file, but I don't have personal experience with them. -
Hi,
I have a older ipod mini which needed a battery, so i also upgraded the drive to a 32 GB flash drive. When i did the upgrade, it saw the itunes fine, but it never loaded anything. When i unplug it it shows the folder with "!" icon, and i can't get my itunes to see it. I have a powerbook 667 mhz g4 with itunes 10.4.11, so i can't upgrade to leopard. All i wanted was a better battery and a bit more song volume. This older 4 GB will fit back in and works fine, but i'm upset i spent $37 to only fail. What am i doing wrong? itunes is 4.7.1 How can i over come this?In Disk Utility, select the iPod (the device) in the sidebar. So, if you see the iPod in the sidbar with a "volume" indented below the iPod, select the "device" (not the volume).
Go to the Erase tab to the right. The choice for Format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Name does not matter, because iTunes will rename it during the Restore. Click Erase.
it "flashed" out of itunes.
That may be an issue with the USB connection. As a test, shut down (power off) the Mac. Disconnect other USB devices including USB hub, except for standard USB keyboard and mouse (if normally used). SInce this is a laptop, connect it to its power adapter, so that it's not running on battery power.
Connect the iPod to a direct USB port on the Mac. Note if there is any difference regarding the iPod not maintaining a connection. -
Do Nike+ iPod sensor have a battery and can i die?
I was just wondering if the Nike+iPod sensors have a battery and if it does, can it die? Why I ask is because I was trying to turn on the sensor and link it to my iPod touch and my iPod nano. But it just says searching for sensor. and i put the sensor in my shoe and walk around but it still can not link? and i also did this:
1. Hold down center button and menu button on iPod until the Apple Logo appears and then let go
2. Hold down the sensor's button for 5 seconds then press it twice one after another quickly, so hold for 5 then click click
3. Put the sensor in your shoe
4. Put the receiver into iPod and go to Nike+ iPod > Settings > Link then click center button to link to new sensor
5. Walk around and the receiver should pick up on the sensor
But it still won't work.. so i was wondering if my sensor died... So can the Nike+ iPod sensor die? Please help, because i really don't want to buy another one.The device must be restored from the computer it was last synced with.
