Itouch 3rd generation battery problems

My itouch is acting a little funny. It is recently new and whenever my battery is emtpy and i charge it fully and I use it for at least 10 mins and turn it off for a while and turn it back on the battery is pretty much drained and I have to charge it again. My brother is having the same problems. Do i need to get a new battery?

Since your iPod is a recent purchase you have 90 day support. I would call Apple and discuss the matter with them or take it into an Apple Store.

    Are you sure it's a 3rd Gen? If it's an 8GB or 16GB model then it's a 2nd Gen and 4.2.1 is the latest

  • Please Help! Ipod touch 3rd generation battery & itunes problem

    Please Help! My ipod touch 3rd generation has the battery sign come up when it is charging, however after several hours when its suppose to be charging I take out the USB and plug but it says its low battery and how it was when I connected the charger. I dont understand whats happening and why i wont charge up. It was working perfectly fine the other day.
    Another thing i have is itunes. My ipod touch wont show up on the itunes, it comes and goes in a flash then it say something about an unknown error and it cannot connect. It feels like nothing is working and this ipod isnt even mine
    Please help and thankyou in advance!

    Hey; thanks for replying & sorry for the late reply.
    I just tried resetting the ipod but sadly it still doesnt work. Will it try when its off? Because the USB is not letting the ipod charge.
    I do have the plug to go with the USB but it wont work with either the netbook or the wall charger. I was thinking of trying another USB wire and hopfully it would work. What do you think?

  • 3rd Generation iPod Problems

    I have an old ipod 3rd generation that I am not ready to recycle just yet. Here is the problem, since it is an old ipod, shipped when Apple was using strictly firewire, it will not charge throught the USB port. However, it will not update through the firewire port. And the battery doesnt hold a charge for very long.
    See where I am going with this? I cant put any songs on it, because it runs out of batteries too quickly. And it doesnt charge while being updated, because it is a USB connection.
    Help.

    I have a 3 year old 20 GB click wheel that has worked fine until recently. One day I wasn't able to play any music, so I plugged it into my computer and was told by iTunes to restore my iPod to factory setting. Having done this and re-synched all of my music (or so I thought), the iPod now has no songs, podcasts, etc. even though in "Settings" it says there is only 8.8 GB available. If the music is on the iPod, why can't I access it?
    Help.

  • Ipod Touch 3rd generation battery life

    I couldn't find an answer to support this question, so I'm putting up a new post. I recently got the new ipod touch 3rd generation (32gb) a few weeks ago. I got the customization so it shipped directly from China. I seem to be having a problem with horrendous battery life and I don't know if it is a bad one or not. I have the BT always turned off and wi-fi most of the time, but I find that my battery drains from fully charged very quickly, especially if I access wifi. My ipod can drop 50% battery life in 20-30 minutes just "surfing" for apps or accessing a safari link from, for example, the kindle app or nytimes app. I am aware that some apps use more power than others, but I'm finding this life thing horrendous. I have the screen set pretty dim, only use the email function "on access" (no 'push' enabled), no auto-sync for nytimes, etc. I don't know what to do as this was as customized engraving iPod and I feel like everyone I know has fine battery life. Any help much appreciated. We have an Apple Store here in town but can they check it out for me? It has the 3.1.2 version software. Thanks!

  • IPod Nano 3rd Generation Battery

    I recently won a sweepstakes that included a iPod Nano 3rd Generation.  The iPod was brand new in the box.  The problem is the battery does not hold a charge.  I have left the iPod connected to my MacBook Pro overnight to charge.  When I disconnect the iPod, it instantly turns off.  I know these iPods were produced several years ago.  Am I missing something obvious here or is it just not working because the battery has set idle for 2+ years?

  • IPad (3rd generation) battery indicator not accurate!

    Yesterday I charged my 3rd generation iPad to 100% then left it charging an additional 1 and a 1/4 hours additional. The battery indicator read 100% this morning it read 95% as it wasn't off just sleeping. I then turned off the iPad using the power button on top. When I turned it on again the battery indicator read 100% again.  What is going on? To me it seems like there is a software problem in the battery charging system.

    I tested using two Battery Utilities (now battery says 98%) Boost Magic says 100% and Battery Magic says 96% so here is the summary none agree.
    iPad indicator 98%
    Battery Magic 99%
    Boost Magic 99%
    Not sure which is correct or why it read 95% when I looked at it this morning then reverted to 100% after turning off and then on again.

  • IPad 3rd generation camera problem

    My new IPad 3rd generation camera worked perfectly for about a half hour.  Then the IPad got hot so I turned it off to cool down.  When I turned it back on and tried to use the camera the camera screen was black. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Quit the camera app and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or reboot the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    BTW ... The iPad should not get that hot!

  • I brought a new ipad (3rd generation), the problem i am having is with itunes. i downloaded a television series onto my ipad, i did not know that it would try to download it all at one time. my question is how do i change the way my ipad loads.

    As I stated in the title, I purchased an ipad (3rd generation), and I am having trouble with itunes downloads. Mistakenly when I purchased a television series I selected download the entire series to my ipad. Is there a way to stop this download and change the download location to either my laptop or into the cloud?

    Did you try tapping on the download to bring up a pause status? You can finish the download on the computer in iTunes. You may be able to delete the download by swiping across the progress bar of the download after you finish the download on the computer.
    Launch iTunes on your computer and go to Store>Check for available downloads. Finish the download in iTunes and then try to delete the download from the iPad.

  • IPod nano 7th generation battery problems

    I fully charge my iPod nano 7th generation then turn it off. Two days later I go to use it and it and it was flat. What is going on?
    sometimes i turn it off then it turns itself back on. But I sat and watched it after being charged and it stayed off but the next day it was still flat.
    I really need to know what's going on. I would appreciate any help.

    Hi Kelci27,
    There are a couple of troubleshooting steps you should take with your iPod nano. First, I would suggest a reset. See this article -
    How to reset iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    If your battery life issue persists, restore the iPod to factory condition. See this article -
    Restoring iPod to factory settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339
    Should it still not be working properly you may want to contact Apple to seek service. See this page -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Can't move music out of Purchased Playlist on Itouch 3rd generation

    Ok, so when I purchase on itunes THROUGH my itouch, it keeps that purchased music in that purchased folder ONLY. I try to drag it out from the folder on my computer and place it in another playlist(on my itouch) and it WILL show it on the computer that it is there, but once i eject and look at the desired playlist for the song it is NOT there. Is there anyway to fix that?? It really fraustrates me.

    so when I purchase on itunes THROUGH my itouch, it keeps that purchased music in that purchased folder ONLY
    You need to File -> Transfer purchases.
    This will copy the files from the IPod touch to iTunes.
    Then you can drag it to the desired playlist in iTunes and sync the iPod touch.

  • IPad 3rd generation dictation problems!

    Im having some problems to use the dictation function on the new ipad. I just got it today, and now im going to try the dictation, but i can't find it! I saw a video on youtube, where to find it, but its not there! I went to settings>general>keyboard and then it should be there, but its not.
    I hope someone can help me!

    It should be there in Settings > General > Keyboard > Dictation (it doesn't appear on the iPad 2) - have you tried a reset to see if it shows after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
