Is it bad to charge iPod everyday when it gets to less than 20%?

Well I charge my iPod everyday and i charge it when it gets to less than 20% every time . Is this bad? Is it ok to charge at 50? I usually don't because there is still battery left so.. I just use it till its at 10% and charge it

Charge whenever you want to. There are mixed reviews out there, but the general concensus seems to be to not let it always run flat before recharging, hard on this type of battery, so charge when you need the power to get through the day.

  • Is it bad to charge your iPad when there is like 30% left ?

    Is it bad to charge your iPad when there is like 30% left ?

    Question: What is a "charge cycle"?
    Answer: Lithium-ion batteries can be charged a finite number of times, as defined by charge cycle. A charge cycle means using all of the battery's power, but that doesn't necessarily mean a single charge. For instance, you could use to your iPad for a few hours one day, using half its power, and then recharge it fully. If you did the same thing the next day, it would count as one charge cycle, not two, so you may take several days to complete a cycle. Each time you complete a charge cycle, it diminishes battery capacity slightly, but you can put your iPad's battery through many charge cycles before it will only hold 80 percent of its original battery capacity.
    Don't worry about it, since the battery will take 1000s of charge cycles.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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 (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
    http://www.macblend.com/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.

    So i bought music on a different computer but oAn the same itunes account and on the same ipod and when i get on my original computer and i sync my ipod my purchases that were on the other computer didnt show up. How can i put them on my computer/ipod

    Download them to the computer to which the iPod is synced, re-sync.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.

  • I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them.

    I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them. How do I completely clear my ipod music, and how can I solve the syncing problem?

    Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
    All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Spark list horizontal scroller doesn't actualize when rows is set lesser than list container

    Hello,
    The size of the Image control is set larger than that of its parent Group  container. By default, the child extends past the boundaries of the parent  container. Rather than allow the child to extend past the boundaries of the  parent container, the Scroller specifies to clip the child to the boundaries and  display scroll bars.
    In the spark list, when I change the list dataProvider and the size of the Image control is set lesser than that of its parent Group  container, the horizontal scroller doesn't actualize.
    thanks.

  • Why did I receive an e-mail saying I have exceeded my storage when I am using less than 1 GB

    why did I receive an e-mail saying I have exceeded my storage when I am using less than 1 GB?

    Thanks: our creatives said they would research "with Apple" and let us know next week when we are there for training, so you are correct we probally don't need the Genius Bar, but since we're at the Apple store for training it's good to keep in touch with them as they always have some good tips or advice.
    Plus if they get to know you you seem to get better service

    Hi,
    Yes you can also achieve this by doing just some modifications in your pricing procedure :
    Please maintain these settings in VPRS :
    subtotal as B
    requirement 4
    and alternate calculation type as 5
    Then whenever VPRS will be greater than Nett value, system will throw warning message. Please try and revert with feedback.
    Thanks,

  • My iPod touch is faulty. it is less than 2 years old.  Will apple replace it even if its not within warranty?

    Ipod touch issues include faulty home button, and only half a day battery life.  It is less than 2 years old but no extended warranty.  I have heard Apple will replace??

  • Complete my album not available when balance due is less than 99 cents?

    I was pleased with the "Complete my Album" idea, and I tried to use it over the weekend, but kept getting an error when iTunes was trying to talk to the store. I started out owing something like $4.03 to complete the album, having bought 4 99 cent songs from a $7.99 album.
    I was frustrated by this repeated error over the course of a few hours, so then I gradually started buying the songs one by one. I bought one, and the price dropped to 3.04. Another, and the price went to 2.05, but the album was still available to be completed. I kept going to the point where I would have expected to have 7 cents left to pay for the remaining 3 songs on the album, but then the album no longer shows up as available to be completed.
    I assume they don't want to bother with such a paltry sum, but beware. Even if you are frustrated, don't buy the songs one by one if the balance will get below 99 cents.
    Is this a known limitation?

    How is my Complete My Album price calculated?
    Your Complete My Album price is based on the content you previously acquired from iTunes. If you purchased your songs, we adjust the current album price by the retail price you paid for those song(s). If you acquired your content through select, eligible song code promotions, we adjust the current album price by the full retail price of the song(s).
    *Please note that if you previously acquired so many single tracks from the same album that the Complete My Album price would be less than the current price of a single song (a single video for a video album), you will not be able to purchase the remaining tracks using Complete My Album.*

  • Is it bad to charge the battery when it is full?

    ^Titlte^
    Im using a 2012 13 Inch MacBook Pro. I play WoW and Diablo on it, while I do, I keep the charger in it. Is it bad for the computer if the battery is full and the charger is in?

    Not at all. The battery and charger have built in circuitry that prevents damage if the battery is full when the charger is plugged in. That said, it's good to run down your battery to about 15 or 20% now and then just to keep it working properly.

  • 5G iPod Crashes when it gets cool

    I was using my iPod outdoors in 40 degree weather. I had left it sitting on my deck for about half an hour, so it had time to get to ambient temp. I was able to go through the menus and choose a song, but when I hit play, the screen immediately went black, then switched to white with a black bar covering the lower 1/3rd of the screen. The ipod was totally unresponsive. I reset the iPod, and shortly after the Apple logo appeared, it reverted to the frozen screen with the black bar at the bottom.
    I took the iPod back into the house, let it warm up for half an hour, and it worked perfectly. I've can reproduce the behavior every time I cool the iPod down to around 40 degrees or below.
    Any suggestions? Thanks

    Since you've already tried restoring, you've done half of the work.
    The next step is to drain the iPod completely. I am talking about running the battery down to the point where pressing a button won't even turn it on.
    Once it gets to that point, try reconnecting it and restoring it again in iTunes. This can fix quite a few issues. However, if the problem is hardware-related... this won't help you.
    It's worth a shot, though!

  • I have Ipod nano 3rd generation that I use to listen to audiobooks in my car.  I turn the ipod off when I get out of the car and when I restart the ipod, it doesn't start where I left off.  Any suggestions

    I recently received an Ipod nano 3rd generation, which I use to listen to audiobook in my car.  Every time I leave the car, I stop the Ipod and take it with me.  When I return to the car and start up the Ipod, it does not pick up where I left off in the book.  Any suggestions?

    It could be that the CD player will only playback "Redbook" CD's from the previous position.
    And starts mp3 type CD's from the beginnig.
    However.. it's not Logic related.
