My Iphone died with 80% battery
my Iphone 5 s died even though it had 80% battery life I have plugged it into my charger in the wall and nothing happened then I pluged it into my computer and my computer is not registering that anything is plugged in please help!
I would call apple care and have them run a diagnogstics of your battery. That will determine if there's an issue with the battery.
As far as your device not being recognized in iTunes, this article will help you out.

Why would my iPhone 3GS die with 30% battery shown on screen?
Hi there!
It's been a couple of weeks since my iPhone 3GS started switching off abruptly (not even showing the AJAX roulette that indicates it is switching off) while the battery indicator was showing a percentage close to 20-30%.
Right after that, I try to switch it back on, and then Apple logo on screen but after several seconds the iPhone goes off again, abruptly.
In one occasion, the Mail app was open and downloading/sending mail and right after pluging in the cable to charge it and switch it back on, it created some corrupted blank/empty emails where there should not be.
I know there are some rules we have to follow with today's gadget batteries and I tried to charge it fully and discharge it completely with several cycles, but no improvement whatsoever (only one day I got to 3%, but the problem started again right after that). The switching off during this time was never controlled by the iPhone, like a timed closing, but direct switch off and all not saved data lost, kind of a hard reset.
Is this a general problem many people would be having now with iOS4? Is my battery deffective?
Any help would be very much appreciated. I really love my iPhone, and this is becoming disappointing.Hi there,
For how long does the logo remain static..? If it's for up to 3-4 minutes then I'd say it's okay (albeit it is a long time) but if it's 5-10 minutes or more then okay there's a fault of some kind I guess.
I went through a phase where my 3GS would restart and seemingly get stuck at the Apple logo, for what seemed forever. Killing the phone and forcing it to restart would see it restart a lot quicker. Odd though that if I'd left it alone then after 3-4 mins it would start on its own.

Huh? By who?
The two biggest killers of Lithium batteries, the kind in an phone, are exposure to heat, & frequent full discharge/recharge cycles. Fact is, Lithium batteries don't like to be discharged below about 20% of capacity. -
Ok I bought my iPhone 4S 5 months ago and these recent weeks I have had problems with the battery dying at 50% like completely shutting off meanwhile it has 50% battery I don't know what to do please help
I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again. -
IPhone 4s 32GB dying at 20% battery life and getting worst
I have currently been through 4 iPhone 4s's and all 4 have had the same problem. they have all been find for about 2 weeks and then they all started staying at 100% for anywhere from 2 hours to up 8 hours before going down. Then they would start dying at like 13-14% battery life, as each day pasts it gets worst and my phone starts dying sooner and sooner. One of my phone got as bad as dying at 38% battery life. They all do the same thing, they hit a certain point then it goes from whatever % it is at to 1% then just shuts off. I have tried just about everything I can think of or read about to fix this issue. Also, I am getting sick of driving all the way to the Apple store for them to just give me a new with the same problem. If anyone has this problem or knows anyway to fix it or maybe knows what the problem is please let me know.
o ok I understand you now. Yes I have always set it up as a new device, the first time I had this problem I believe they restored the new phone from my backup (same issues). The last two times I was there we set the phones as new devices, yet I have the same problem. They have literally tired everything to my knowledge, they have even sent my old phone to the IT people or whatever they are called to see if they can figure out why the phone is having this issue. Could it be a bad battery? I don't do anything crazy with the phones, this time around I haven't even plugged it into the computer or my car charger just incase those plugs were doing something to the battery. I love the new iPhones, however my luck can't be this bad...

Hi! I'm just having a little trouble when it comes to battery charging of my iPhone 5 with its new iOS 7! It doesn't indicates that the battery is fully charge unlike the old version of iOS! I already read some reviews and discussion about this. They said that the lightning bolt should pulsate when charging but it's not!
Thanks for the replies. It took a while not hearing anything so thought I was alone. I have done many of the suggestions already. The key here is that it occurs on both phones with apps, and phones still packaged in a box.
A Genius Bar supervisor also checked his Verizon data usage log and found the same 6 hour incremental use. Suprisingly, he did not express much intrigue over that. Maybe he did, but did not show it.
I think the 6 hour incremental usage is the main issue here. I spoke with Verizon (again) and they confirmed that all they do is log exactly when the phone connected to the tower and used data. The time it records is when the usage started. I also found out that the time recorded is GMT.
What is using data, unsolicited, every 6 hours?
Why does it change?
Why does it only happen on the iPhone 5 series and not the 4?
Since no one from Apple seems to be chiming in on this, and I have not received the promised calls from Apple tech support that the Genius Bar staff said I was suppose to receive, it is starting to feel like something is being swept under the rug.
I woke up the other day with another thought ... What application would use such large amounts of data? Well ... music, video, sound and pictures of course. Well ... what would someone set automatically that is of any use to them? hmmm ... video, pictures, sound. Is the iPhone 5 succeptible to snooping? Can an app be buried in the IOS that automatically turns on video and sound recording, and send it somewhere ... every 6 hours? Chilling. I noted that the smallest data usage is during the night when nothing is going on, then it peaks during the day. The Genius Bar tech and I looked at each other when I drew this sine wave graph on the log print outs during an appointment ... -
My iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3 keeps crashing at 45%!when my iPhone nears 45% from a full charge it suddenly says the phone is 20% then 10% then 1% and then it goes dead.when I plug in the charger instead of waitin a few minutes for it to turn on,it instantly turns on and says the battery is 45%!this is OK at home where I can keep the charger plugged in but what about when im on the go?PLEASE HELP!!!
This is most likely faulty battery. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

Can't get my Music off of my iPhone 4...
My computer died & had to get a new one, so now I cannot sync my iPhone 4 with the new computer, without losing all of my Music, because the only Music I have is on the iPhone 4 only, not on the computer. No Backup anywhere : (
If I choose to sync it tells me all of the Content that does not match the iTunes library on the computer will be erased, do you want to proceed & I have to say no.
How do I replace the music library on my Computer with the Music on the iPhone?
I got my pictures off because you can access them when you connect the iPhone using Windows 7 but you cannot see any of the music so you cannot access it when using windows so don't know what to do...
Help...The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer. -
I have been having issues with my battery capacity. The battery will drain within half an hour with it being fully charged when the battery normally lasts me all day. I haven't had the phone that long so it most definitely shouldn't be happening. I went to my service provider about the problem and he said to go into the apple website, click "support" and then "battery capacity issues" to which you then type in your email to troubleshoot the problem on your phones however, I cannot find this. Someone help me out!

IPhone 5S with iOS 8.0.2 battery draining rapidly
I have an iPhone 5S with 8.0.2 recently installed on it. Normally, I can go a whole day and have the battery around 50 - 60% when I put it back to charge it at night. However, lately, the battery has been draining so fast that it doesn't last an entire day anymore. My usage has not changed. If I look up the battery drainage for the last 4 hours, the major players are Mail (28%), Home & Lock Screen (17%), and Facebook (13%). For the last 4 days, it has been Mail (41%), Home & Lock Screen (15%), and Safari and Facebook (11% each).
I had this problem with iOS 7.1.2, and I took it in to the Apple store and was instructed to delete and install Facebook again. I did this, and it didn't help. I then restored the phone and re-installed the back up. That worked until about a week after I installed iOS 8. I tried upgrading to 8.0.2, and the drain was faster if it changed at all. I tried restoring from the backup again, and this time it didn't help. My last option would be to restore as a new phone, but I'd like to avoid this if possible. It would take more time than I really want to spend on it.
My background refresh apps are limited to just a few. I also have the Mail program set not to notify me unless I get a message from a certain account or a VIP. I also limit what can use location services. Also, since mail was consuming the battery, I tried to decrease the frequency of retrieval, and even changed it to manual. Neither option helped the battery life.
I wonder if something is wrong in the OS that is causing this. Does anyone have an idea?Hey David Ancell,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. You have already taken all of the most applicable steps: optimizing your settings, viewing which apps are using energy, and configuring your notifications. Because restoring the back up of your iPhone may restore the culprit causing these symptoms, restoring as new is your best option for isolation purposes:

i have an iphone that is using battery life much more quickly than in the past, a full charge is going to zero in a half a day or so, with out much use.
an icon is also appearing next to the charge percentage in the top right, and the icon is a circle around a lock
can anyone tell me what the problem is, and what the icon means?The Icon meas your display orientation is locked to vertical so it wont change when you turn the phone sideways.
First thing you should check with the battery life is multitasking, which also happens to be where the orientation lock can be turned off. check out http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211 and go from there -
My iphone 4s only charges to 96% Is there a problem with my battery
Is there a known problem with the battery life of the iPhone 4S? I only have my phone a few weeks and the battery life is very poor. I've made sure that there aren't lots of things running at the same time (and I'm not using iCloud), but need to charge my phone every night which I never had to do with my old iPhone 3. In addition I have noticed that my iPhone never charges 100%, only 96%, I've tried discharging the battery totally and then recharging the phone just in case it's a calibration issue. Should I bring the phone back to have the battery replaced?
From the Apple site about the iPad battery ...
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Here is the article.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html
If you are getting around 10 hours of use out of the battery you are probably fine at 98% and it may just be that the battery needs to be calibrated in order to see the full 100% on the indicator. Try the charge cycle and see what happens. -
Battery Life on iPhone 5 with IOS 7.0.2
Hi all,
What's the average battery life on iPhone after the upgrade to IOS 7.0.2?
I tried to put my phone (with 100% full battery) on Airplane Mode before I went to bed (around 11pm).
When I checked my phone at 6.30am in the morning, it's only 1% battery left --> 7 hours on Airplane Mode???
The next night, I put my phone on standby mode (Wifi on, Location Services Off, Bluetooth Off, 3G/4G off) same time (11ish)
Next morning at 7am, 5% battery left --> 8 hours on standby with just Wifi On.
I found it a bit weird because before the IOS 7 upgrade, if I put my phone on Airplane Mode, it will last for more than a day.
Wondering if any of you guys has the same issue with the battery?
Thanks.I received an iPhone 5 for Christmas and had an iPhone 4.S previously which had no battery issues at all. The new phone is diabolical in terms of battery life. I have done all the things that people recommend on here to try and extend the battery life but to no avail. Just sitting overnight with nothing running in the background drains the battery considerably. What else can I do? I have AppleCare on this phone so the people there offer to replace the phone for me BUT the replacement phone does not arrive in a new box and the respresentative was very fuzzy about the fact he would/could not assure me I would receive a brand new phone in its' box. He just kept saying it will be a 'replacement phone' which is totally unacceptable as this phone is unlocked so we paid full price for it. The phone is not reliable - whilst out for a full day's ski-ing (I was not ski-ing, just hanging around!) and using the phone for very light Internet browsing and only a few short e-mails, the battery just drained away in front of my eyes so I had to turn it off completely as I have no car charger yet and certainly had not thought to take my electrical charger with me (we won't even talk about the stupidity of making the new charger not fit my other Apple products (three of them!).
I really am so disappointed and don't know what to do next. As BCCconvert asks, what can we do??? thanks for any help offered. -
I have just updated my 4s to IOS7. and now my battery discharge is significantly increase. With my Iphone fully charged, the battery run out within 6 hours without using the phone at all. Would it be possible to get the IOS 6.1.3 back to my 4S?
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
All of your help is much appreciated, thanks -
