IPod Video 5th Generation battery issue

I just replaced my original ipod battery a few months ago. It was 4 years old and in serious need of a change. At first it was great. My play time increased noticeably and I hadn't run into ANY type of trouble with ipod. Everything was smooth. However, as of late, it's been acting up. The ipod now dies EXACTLY when the battery has discharged at the halfway mark. The battery meter is still green. It only takes one full hour to charge when it should be taking two. The screen says No battery power remains...please connect to power source. I haven't tried anything to fix this. I didn't try to restore the ipod through itunes. I'm under the impression my ipod has run its course, but I thought I'd check out the forum to see if anyone could shed some light.

Occasionally the 5g ipod will get "stuck" on the "no power remains" screen. When its like this, hook it up to a power source. (I personally use a usb plug outlet just so the computer isn't trying to access the frozen ipod while you fix it) let it sit with power for a while. Do the menu-select reset. (Hold Menu and Select for 10secs) It should restart and work normally. Let the ipod charge for a good while and test it again. If that fails, try restoring it. If that fails, it might the connection to the battery. OPen her up and see if its in properly. If that fails, it just might be a bad battery.

Had you brought the same pair of headphones to the Apple Store with you and they worked there? If you hadn't, the wire or plug on those headphones may have failed. Try a different pair if you can and see if those work.
Hope this helps

ITunes can't read my iPod Video 5th Generation

Hey guys,
So my iPod was messed up for a while back, but I managed to reset/restore it so it's basically at a clean slate. Now when I plug it into my computer, it shows the normal "Do not disconnect." screen and it even shows up on My Computer.
The problem is: iTunes can't read it. It shows nothing on the side panel of iTunes. I tried doing all the device manager things and everything seems to be good. I have an iPod Nano 3rd Generation and it works perfectly well on my iTunes when I plug it in.
Any suggestions on how to get my iTunes to read my iPod Video 5th generation?

Watcha,
I haven't had any of these problems yet, but getting ready to download the newer version of Itunes. I have a HP Pavilion PC-based laptop with Windows 7, and also an IPOD Video 5th Gen. So I really hope I won't get any problems. Sorry I didn't have any solutions and hope your problems were solved.

I have a bad idea I might of blown up mu iPod touch 5th generation battery by a mistake, please any suggestions on how i could try and turn it on? It is completely blank and it had full charge before it shut off. In need of desperate help :-(

Would be very grateful if someone could get back to me
Thank you very much

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

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.

IPod touch 5th generation battery drained and restored after app is closed

I got my iPod Touch 5th generation about a year ago. I noticed it has since had an issue on the battery life that I thought was common so I did not do anything about it.
The issue my iPod has is that whenever I use an app that requires immense energy to function, the battery drains real quick. But after I closed the app, the battery life fills up again like it has only used a little. Video recording especially drains the battery the most where after 10 minutes of recording, it pops up saying 20% battery left from fully charged and at one point it even shuts down itself. But when it was turned on, the battery life is still around 75%. Before it runs on iOS 8, the issue is more apparent although it still exist now with the latest update.
I did not know until just recently that I found out it is a big issue where I could not have a video recording that can last longer than 10 minutes or so. Is there anything I could do to solve this? Are there anyone else out there that has this sort of issue?

Hey Leowjowee-
I'm really sorry if I'm about to state the obvious, but have you tried fully resetting the iPod touch and setting it up like it's brand new?
It's a crappy answer, but sometimes these are device specific issues, and other times, it can happen just because the kinks haven't been worked out of a new upgrade. I work in consumer IT, and the first thing I would suggest to a client with this issue (especially after an upgrade from one version of the operating system to another), would be to restore (reset the iPod to factory specs) the iPod touch, set it up like the day I bought it, only with the upgraded operating system, and see if there's still an issue. Sometimes, doing an upgrade like you probably did to get from iOS 7 to iOS 8, where it keeps all your previous settings from the last operating system, can cause bugs in the new code.
Here's instructions for a reset: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
Keep in mind that this will completely erase any content you have on the iPod touch, so be careful to make sure you have a backup of the device before you do anything. You can back up your device to iCloud or your computer with these instructions: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203977
iOS 8 is brand new, and I'm sure Apple is working out the bugs - but these things happen...

My iPod Touch 5th generation battery drains extremely fast.

I have a iPod Touch 5th generation, with iOS 8.0.2 and the battery life goes down in less than 15 minutes. I have experienced this since I first bought it, which was 10 months ago. My brother and sister just bought the same iPod as me but in different colors. My brother used his iPod Touch for 1 and a half hours, and it looked like the battery was barely used. I am not sure if this is a problem with my device, because this happened with my dad's iPhone 5 as well. Maybe it is the older models. Does anyone have a solution to this, or ways to save my battery?

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.

My iPod touch 5th generation battery indicator does not update when being charged (Updated to iOS 8)

Note that the iPod touch 5th generation was updated to iOS 8. When I connect my charger to my iPod touch, for the first time, the battery indicator does not update when connected to a power source. Instead of being charged, it says that the battery is being depleted. Please fix this issue. Thank you!

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older 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.

Ipod Touch 5th generation sync issues over storage

Hi
I have a 64GB ipod touch 5th generation ipod touch. It (and itunes) has the latest software.
The issue is that I am trying to sync my music (I have bought new songs and changed playlists) and itunes states there isnt enough space on ipod touch. However, my music collection, and the ipod own storage suggests that the music only takes 50% of the available storage.
I am the point of jacking in the ipod touch now as this is a regular occurrence.
Any help on overcoming this is appreciated.
Lee

- First verify you have the right items checked to syn so that you are not syncing more than you think
- Next
Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

IPod Touch 5th generation battery on ios 7

I have a iPod touch 5th generation (space grey it came with ios 7) and I was just wondering what the average battery life is. Mine seems to be setting the trend of 4-4 1/2 hours (playing games), and about 7 hours using music, streaming, and browsing. Is this about the average?

Sounds about right. What I have seen is this... on standby the battery will go for days, provided you never use the fool thing, just leave it on. Listening to music from you library with the screen mostly off and wifi and Bluetooth turned off, easily 20 plus hours. BUT, start streaming, gaming (gaming really ***** the power), browsing, anything that keeps the screen on and in motion or keeps your iPod looking for a signal... a few hours between charges is all you get! I always have a charger nearby. Good luck.

Ipod touch 5th Generation restoring issue

So my sister forgot her password to her Ipod touch 5th Generation, but when I try to restore it, it wants to take 9 hours to update the software first. Is there any way around that? Any help is appreciated

No. When you restore via iTunes the latest firmware is reinstalled. If the latest firmware is not already on the computer it has to be downloaded.

IPod nano 7th generation battery issues

I am only getting 2.5 hours of playback after a full charge to my nano. My older iPod (5th generation) would last for days before it would need a charge. Is this an issue that others have experienced or is this an isolated issue with a defective battery in my unit?

IPod Video 5th Generation Upload Video to IPod Problem.

Hi all,
I recently purcase an IPod video, and I have problem with uploading video from Itunes to my IPod. Is working fine when I set it to automatically sync. But when I change the setting to manually and drag the video file into the Movies folder (Itunes) is doesn't seem to be upload to my IPod. Music is working fine. Any one know why.
Thank heaps in advance.

Well this is a hard one,
You need to do a few things.
First you need to get it ripped in a file format by using questionable-legality software (Cough* like mine*). Or you could use illegal-ish (but not really illegal) software such as Limewire. But if for SOME reason you already have it in that from. Here is what you do.
Download this software.
http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/download.php
It is free and really easy to use. This will convert your movie file to compatible format, MPEG-4 (or Quick-Time).
Ok that was the easy part!
Now you will have to manually set the Audio bit rate to match to Video Bit rate in the Videora. The help tool will show you how to do it. You may get lucky and it will be the get the same bit rate for both. And then you are good to go! (it is worth a try, up to this point, some videos auto convert exactly to try it)
BUT IF NOT: (here we go)
To get the Audio and Video bit rate, change your view mode in the file folder where your original file is located to filmstrips. Now, hover your mouse over the video file, you should see Audio & Video bit rate. If not you will have to fiddle with Videora to get it right. Now change to bit rates in your options in Videora to match the original file. If the audio is off from the video, your sound will lag while your video plays or vise versa. Meaning, at about 5 min your audio could be off by over 45 sec.
Alright, you got your video. Now drag and drop it into Itunes, and drop it into your ipod. There you go! Easy right?
Well if you are lost after the “BUT IF NOT” part and you can’t get it working sufficiently before that point. My suggestion is to give up, unless you are great with computer fiddling.
So all in all it can be done, but it is VERY hard to do! I have done it, but it takes a while to work (2-3 hours-ish).
Hope this helped you, God Life
