My ipod battery dies pretty quick?

I had this thing since day one meaning i got this when it first came out. Wheni had it the battery never died so quickly and like now it does. Although i do skate alot and i take it with me and of course i've fallen alot on it and it still plays like a champ but dies quick. Do i need a new battery?? and if so how much do they cost?? Thanks

Maybe you should start your own thread.
You have a 1st Generation iPod that is just over 3 months old? How did you accomplish that?
You have called AppleCare? Visited a Genius Bar at an Apple Store?
Gone here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
Restored your iPod in iTunes?
How are you charging your iPod? What are you running on it that it dies in an hour?

Battery Dies Pretty Quick. Help Please.

Okay so I have had my iPod for about three years. I never really had a problem with the battery until I dropped it in the water bowl. It's now starting to get on my nerves because my cord that charges it is already breaking and I haven't had time to go buy a new one. I have googled questions but none of them apply to me or help. My brightness is pretty much always on the lowest setting. People have said that having the notifications on can kill the battery or use it faster. Is this true? I am wondering this because my notifications are always on. I am looking at buying the iPhone 4s but I have heard bad things and good things about the battery life. I would like the truth about the battery life it would be a big help because either way I am probably going to end up buying it. But, back to the problem does anyone know why my battery is dying so quick? Could it be because of the water? Thanks.

Yes, notification and also location services and wifi and blutooth drain the battery.
With time/number of charge cycles the battery capacity decrease.

I have a iPhone 4S and am satisfied with battery life.

Battery dies so quick seems due to a dead loop in SMS

Battery dies so quick seems due to a dead loop in SMS
I don't know how to reproduce, but this problem bothers me for a couple of days.
Not sure if it is global romaing problem, beacause I am a China mobile user currently in Sweden.
I switched off my "MCDN" in general settings to avoid high data traffic fee.
And *I find it is not possible to delete SMS when I swipe on one row, the delte button show up for like 2 seconds, then aotomatically disappear;*
*Also tried click "edit"-> minus button, the result is the same that the delte button show up for like 2 seconds, then aotomatically disappear;*

I had similar issue with one of the macbooks in the office. Make sure you've got latest firmware installed (run Software Update). This resolved the issue for us instantly (you may need to reboot mac AFTER firmware upgrade for this to work).

IPod Battery Dies if i don't put Hold on

IS this something wrong? Everytime i forget to put the hold on when i'm not using it the battery dies. My friend has the same exact type of iPod i have and doesn't have to do this. Is something wrong with my battery and i need to replace my iPod?

The first thing to do is to reset the ipod, then restore the ipod if reset did not work. This would determine if the issue was a software or hardware issue.

If the restore does not work then it is a hardware issue and the ipod needs to be serviced. You can go to the following link to set the ipod up for service.

Ipod battery dies fast

My ipod touch dies very fast. Anyone got any fixes?

Hey Tgradd, what do you mean by dies very fast? It's very subjective, do you have usage rates or times to work with? After a full 4 hour charge here are some times you can use to comparing with, to help you decide if you have a issue. It what my iPod 5 using iOS 7.1.1 averages-- I do use some of the power saving tips given by Apple and Cnet. Standby 36 to 40 hours, watching video, browsing the net, using Wi-Fi, 4 to 7 hours-- depending on video time, if viewing in HD and Wi-Fi signal strength. Gaming 3 to 4 hours. Taking photos / video about 40 to 60 pictures depending on light and flash use / about 1 to 1 1/2 hours for taking video.
If your getting something less, have tried a different cable and/or a different charging device? You may have a short and are not fully charging. Have you tried resetting? Press and hold both power and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds+/-, then release both buttons. If still no joy, go into Settings> General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If still no joy, connect with your iPod and make backups of your stuff from the iPod to your computer, then Restore from Backup. Last resort Restore to New. If battery issue continues contact Apple, set up an appointment and have your iPod evaluated for possible hardware issues. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

IPod battery dies WHILE it is plugged into USB (highspeed 2.0) port

Hello thank you for your interest in my question, I apologize for the length but it's a very frustrating problem.
I am translating this question for my sister:
My 4th generation iPod was given to me as a gift this past December (2005) I believe it was purchased in September because that is when the warranty expires. The iPod worked fine for the previous owner using it with a Windows machine. Not knowing whether or not it will work with my iBook with or without formatting, I plugged it in and found that it came right up and I was able to put my music library on it.
I used it normally for the first time until the battery became low, so I plugged it into my USB port to charge. After a few hours I came back to find my battery completely drained and the iPod unresponsive/dead. I switched USB ports and let it sit for a couple of hours, nothing. I switched USB cables using one from another brand new/working iPod, nothing. I tried a different computer, one with a high-speed USB 2.0 port again leaving it plugged in for at least 4 hours, nothing.
Obviously something was wrong, so I filed a report and Apple sent a DHL box to mail it back. An iPod came back, unfortunately I'm not sure if it's the same one (I didn't follow the repair status or keep track of the serial numbers) it was restored to it's factory defaults and turned on right away.
SO round #2, I plugged it directly into my iBook and started to import songs onto it--this time I was there when it happened. It beeped at me and said something on the screen about the battery not having a sufficient charge and it went from the "do not un-plug/charging" screen to a big battery with a lightning bolt next to it. My iBook gave me a notice that the iPod was improperly disconnected. 30 minutes later the iPod had a blank screen (while still plugged in) and I went through the same troubleshooting I did before (switching cables/computers).
I sent it back to Apple and this time I followed the repair status. To my surprise, they found nothing wrong with it and sent the exact same iPod back. When I got it back the iPod did indeed turn on so I plugged it into the back of my brand new iMac Intel Core Duo, imported songs and tried to see if they would play. They did, but the battery was almost dead so I plugged it back in and left it charge for over 3 hours. I unplugged it and checked the stats.. it was nearly dead still, so I plugged it in again and very quickly (10 minutes) the icon changed from "charging" to full. I unplugged it to check the charge... and it was still nearly dead. Extremely frustrated at this point, I gave it to my friend with an older iMac (but with the latest iPod software installed) after plugging it in and leaving it alone for maybe an hour it beeped, when to the black and white battery and finally went blank/dead for the third time.
I'm desperate, right now it is plugged into a Windows PC to see if that will work and considering the iPod is still cold to the touch and wont respond.. it doesn't look good. Can anyone, after reading all of this, suggest anything? I'm probably going to be making an appointment at a genius bar but before I do, I'd like to see if anyone here might have some suggestions.
Please keep in mind, that the iPod is completely dead and will not charge or be recognized by any computer I plug it into. So I can't really restore or do many other basic troubleshooting. I have no idea how it turned on after sending it in for support.. but if anyone notices something I'm doing wrong, that might help.
Thank you.

Computers I've tried to revive it with:

Have you tried connecting the iPod to different USB ports and/or another computer?
You can also take a look at this website, which may help figure out what's wrong with your iPod.

Finally, if your iPod is less than a year old, you can send it to Apple for replacement.

What happens with video ipod battery dies?

I read that the battery in the video ipod is stuck to some parts inside the video ipod so when it dies there is no way to replace it. Does Apple offer any exchange program or battery replacement for video ipod batteries and how much are they?

Don't know where you read that, but the battery is replaceable in the iPod 5th gen (video) just like any other model.
This can be done by Apple or 3rd party battery replacement sites.
If an iPod is under warranty, then the battery replacement is free (except after the first 6 months of the warranty has expired there is a shipping fee).
If an iPod is out of warranty, Apple charges $59 + $6.95 shipping.
As I said earlier, there are 3rd party alternatives that are usually cheaper.
If you have the iPod video model, then it's under warranty, so if you're having battery problems, fill out a service request.

IPod Battery Drains Very Quickly - NEW BATTERY 3 TIMES

Hello all,
I have a problem with my iPod 5G 60gb video. I've had it for a few years, about a year ago it started losing its battery very quickly. I replaced the battery 2 or 3 times, but this did nothing. I can charge it up fine, but it seems it drains much quicker than normal. The main problem is that it drains even when the iPod is in sleep mode. If I leave it overnight, it will be dead in the morning.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is it a motherboard problem? I'm sure it's not the battery.
Thanks.

I forgot to add:
I restored the iPod via iTunes once, nothing changed. I turned backlight down all the way, no significant difference. I have no alarm clocks on, and turned off all clocks on the iPod as well.

My iPad mini battery dies super quick

Anyone have a. Solution to solving this issues with my iPad mini battery?

Try this first - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) 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 (2.5W, 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.

My battery dies SO quickly!

My battery will not even last one day...I've tried all the advice and nothing helps! What can I do?

My experience is quite the opposite. I've had my iPod for three months now. I've never turned it off and I've never put it in airplane mode and the battery has not only never died, it's never been close. Out of habit, I do plug into a wall-mount charger when I go to sleep.

I just updated 10.6.8 and now my battery dies rather quickly after a full charge.

I have the new early 2011 MBP before it would last for hrs now it last a half an hr before it hits 70%, anyone else having this problem?

When did you last Calibrate your battery?
Here's a nice guide from Macrumors.
In Terminal type:
ioreg -l | grep Capacity
    | |           "MaxCapacity" = 11317
    | |           "CurrentCapacity" = 11291
    | |           "LegacyBatteryInfo" = {"Amperage"=0,"Flags"=5,"Capacity"=1131$
    | |           "DesignCapacity" = 13000
As an example, mine was manufactured with a capacity of 13000, now it can get to a maximum 11317, and currently it's charged to 11291. You can also hold Option and click the battery icon in top right for your batteries condition. Also the cycle count is in System Profile under Power.
