Is the latest version of ipod software causing battery charging problems?

I have access to three different G3 ipods. All of them charged fine (either on AC wall charge or through firewire through the Mac. Now all three have the same charging problem after update to the latest Ipod software. All seem to recharge for only an hour or so then stop charging and show the large full battery icon but when disconnected show less than a full charge on the small meter. If you plug it back into the charger or firewire it will again begin to charge as shown through the large icon. Unpluging and replugging will eventually get to full charge on the small icon it takes at least three times to get it there. It's really annoying and based on the sheer number of posts about this problem,one must suspect that the battery management software must have changed. Has anyone noticed the same coincidence?

Is this problem related ot the 5G ipod?

  • My Ipod touch plays music but every time I open an app that I have downloaded it closes immediately.  This started happening after updating to the latest version of Ipod software.

    My Ipod touch plays music but every time I open an app that I have downloaded it closes immediately.  This started happening after updating to the latest version of Ipod software.

    Here's a couple things to try:
    1. Reset the iPod by holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    2. Uninstall and reinstall one of your purchased apps. Sometimes this can rectify the issue.
    3. Connect the iPod to iTunes and restore it. New system software usually resolves the issue. Make sure you sync before restoring because a restore removes the data from your iPod.
    Hope one of these works for you!

    I updated the latest version of iOS software on my Macbook Pro and now when I try to open up iPhoto it says that I need to update the latest version. But when I go to update on iTunes, it says the latest version is unavailable to the U.S. I wouldn't mind leaving it be but I can't access any of my photos. What do I do?

  • Cannot use the latest version of Nokia Software Up...

    Hello
    We have found out that the NOD32 PC antivirus application contains a feature called “Web protection” which blocks the Nokia Software Updater from being upgraded correctly. Users of Nokia Ovi Store may experience similar problems.
    The problem is visible if you have this feature enabled while the Nokia Software Updater tries to automatically upgrade to the latest version. The NOD32 blocks the download, which seems to last forever.
    We will fix this in the next Nokia Software Updater release, but the current version will have the problem and cannot get over it without one of these actions:
    Disable web protection procedure
    Start NOD32 Antivirus.
    Select: ”Setup” and next ”Antivirus and antispyware protection”
    Change “Web access protection" status to disable.
    Update to the latest version of Nokia Software Updater or Nokia Ovi Suite.
    Uninstall Nokia Software Updater from your PC
    Select "Start" and "Control Panel" to uninstall the Nokia Software Updater or Ovi Suite
    Go to http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software to download the latest versions.
    For more details on how this problem affects Ovi Suite, click here.
    Sorry for any inconvenience,
    xbungle

    I think I should add:
    It seems that some people do not know this as well, so I might as well post here. BitDefender Antivirus also blocks Ovi Suite and Nokia Software Updater.
    Symptoms:
    1. When using Ovi Suite to update, the software gets stuck at "preparing to download"
    2. On NSU, It gets stuck at the NSU startup graphic "preparing to start"
    To solve: Manually add Ovi Suite and/or NSU to the allowed programs on BitDefender
    1. Open BitDefender on Advanced View
    2. Choose the Game/Laptop mode tab
    3. Select Manage Games
    4. Click on the "+" icon
    5. Browse your PC's C drive to where the .exe file of Ovi Suite is. Usually it is in C>Program Files>Nokia>Ovi Suite>NokiaOviSuite.exe
    For NSU, C>Program Files>Nokia>Nokia Software Updater>nsu_ui_client.exe
    6. Enable Game Mode for the program.
    After following the preceding steps, Ovi Suite Updater and NSU should work on BitDefender protected PCs.

    - Try moving the backup file to a safe location so iTunes has to create an entire new one.. It is locate here and you may have to have show hiddn files turned on.
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    - Also try here assuming a PC. The link provides a link for XP.

  • After updating iTunes to the latest version my iPod Classic won't let me delete any thing .

    After updating to the latest version of iTunes, I can not delete anything that is on my iPod.
    It will delete out of iTunes but remains in iPod.  Help!!

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • Is the latest version of iTunes 11 causing slower downloads?

    I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes 11. I am running it on Windows XP. Recently, I upgraded my internet to 20 mbps. However, I am finding that downloading my movie and music purchases extremely slow. To download a 1 GB movie takes more than an hour. This is way too long. Anyone else have this problem?

    I don't think it's a coincidence that after I downloaded iTunes 11 I started getting SUPER SLOW movie rental downloads.  I'm on a Mac Mini (mid-2010) running the latest OS X which I use as my Home Theater PC.  Our routine is pizza, wine and movie night on Friday.  My point being that we rent a movie about once a week from iTunes. Before iTunes 11 the movie was ready to watch in just a minute or two and we could play without interruption. 
    Now it's taking well over 24 hours.  + I'm getting the notice that says the movie is ready to watch but it really isn't.  So it isn't just a download speed issue I suspect - but a bug introduced in iTunes 11.
    This happened last week with Resident Evil: Retribution and now last night with TED.  Both in HD.  I still haven't been able to watch more than the first few minutes of TED now 12 hours later.  And I have no idea how the 24 hour rental period will factor into this.  Will my rental period expire before the freaking movie is finished downloading? 
    Also, I've downloaded a couple of albums in the past week and they've zipped along as usual.

  • What is the latest version of ipod firmware?

    In 2009 it was version 1.3 (it's the only entry I found and it happens to be my version as well) Now being Dec 2013 I was wondering if there are any updates for such an old ipod video. Obviously if Itunes were installed it would tell me but it isn't and I'll only install it if there is a newer version for it (I use mediaMonkey which does everything except update the firmware.). Thanks

    Updates for "regular" iPods (that are not iOS-based iPod touch) are generally just bug fixes.  You should not expect any updates that add new functionality. 
    Cool no need for itunes any longer than, I guess.
    I don't understand...  You still need iTunes to sync the iPod with content, and do maintenance (such as Restore) when needed.  iTunes will continue to support older iPods.  My ancient 3rd gen iPod from 2003 still works with the latest iTunes.

  • Why can't I sync my music with my iPad mini? I am using the latest version of all software available

    I don't understand why I cannot sync any of my songs with my ipad mini through itunes. Please help

    Hello cwill2
    Change one of the options to sync, like check to see if you are Manually managing your music and videos. If you are you can drag and drop the music you want to your iPad mini. If you are not, then check the things that you want synced in the music tab when looking at your iPad mini in iTunes. Either way, change it and sync, then revert the changes and you should be able to get your music on there.
