My Ipod classic, bought in 2007, has only an hour's worth of battery life after a full charge.  Any suggestions or solutions?  Thanks, Threeholesinone

Batteries tend to start losing their ability to retain a charge at full capacity over time.  So what you are experiencing is completely normal.

  • I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    What happens when the iPod is plugged in?  anything?  any errors?
    Why is 50GB of music gone?  All music should exist on the computer.  Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

  • HT1689 the computer I orginally sync"ed" to broke.  The new computer only has about a dozen songs.  How can I downdload my music from the Ipod to the computer?

    the computer I orginally syncd to broke.  The new computer only has about a dozen songs that were purchased from itunes.  Is there any way
    I can get the thousands of other songs from the ipod downloaded to the computer.

    - Connect the iPod to the computer and transfer iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

    Can anyone help me figure out how to sync my ipod with my purchased music?  I have used several computer and at one point synced my ipod with a computer that only had about half of my music.  My other computers are no longer working.  Not sure how to get my purchased music back onto my ipod?

    Hi kimcinma!
    Your previous purchases are saved on iCloud even if you bought them on another computer. If you can't find them on your current computer, you might need to unhide them. Go to iTunes preferences, and click on Store Preferences. Then click the box for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". Then click on OK, and everything you've ever bought from iTunes on that Apple ID will show up in your library. You will need to download them from iCloud first before you can synch them to your iPod Classic. To do this, click on the little cloud with the arrow in it next to your song, and it will download to your computer. When you have the music that you want downloaded, plug in your iPod and synch away. Hope this helps!

  • The battery life on my ipod nano 6th generation only lasts about 2 hours.  Is this standard or should it last longer?

    The batterly life on my ipod nano 6th generation only lasts about 2 hours.  Is this standard or should it last longer?

    - When sleeping the iPod can use wifi and if it has trouble connecting it will keep trying and drain the battery.  I leave mine in airplane mode when sleeping. Otherwise it is frequenlty drained like you see on yours.
    - The rapid drop whe playing vido seems to indicae that something is wrong.
    - If your iPod is defective and under warranty, Apple will give you a refurbished one of the same model.

  • HT3275 My iMac harddrive only has about 100 gb of use on it. But my backup disk has over 300 gb used up on it. Why would this be?

    My iMac hard drive only has about 100 gb of use on it. But my backup disk has over 300 gb of usage on it. For instance, my iphoto library shows about 13 gb of photos but the backup disc shows almost 20 gb of photos in the iphoto library. Why would this be?

    Because you are using Time Machine which is an archiving backup utility. Any change that is made to a file will cause another fully copy of the file to be backed up. Over time a Time Machine backup will take up an entire hard drive no matter how large the drive may be.

  • My iPod Battery only last about an hour when watching videos. Why??

    Whenever I watch a video on my iPod which I got about a week ago the battery dies very quickly.An example is I have Lost on it and I only can watch an episode and a half before my iPod dies.
    30gb   Windows XP Pro  

    Thats perfectly normal. The 14 hour battery life is for playing music and even with playing music u only get about 10 hours if ur lucky.
    i usually watch an hour and a half movie and the battery will be at the red bar. but once its at the red bar it still lasts a while. dont worry its all normal.
    the reason it drains so much battery is because the backlight uses alot of power wen ur playing a movie.

  • Year-old nano's battery only lasts about 9 hours--normal?

    The one-year warranty on my nano expires in about two weeks. The battery only lasts about 9 hours when playing AACs purchased from the iTunes Music Store continuously, with the EQ and backlight turned off.
    Not too shabby, but also nowhere near the 14 hours it got when it was new.
    My question for those of you who have had warranty repairs for battery problems--would Apple consider 9 hours of battery life "defective" and worthy of a warranty repair or replacement?
    Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Actually Apple says up to 14 hours. You're doing ok with this because you're getting about 65% or more battery life from the max of 14 hours.
    Just to be clear, you can only buy the AppleCare plan during the first 12 months warranty period, so if your iPod is nearing a year old, better be quick.
    Btw, have you seen these?

  • My Razr has gotten so slow to respond to everything Any suggestions?

    My razr has gotten so slow responding to everything. Any suggestions?

    The above solutions are a Good start a few things I'll add, this what i do to my Razr's to keep them in the shape they are.
    1. shut the phone down at night unless you need it on.. power it down and then in the morning re-power up this is a good re-fresher I do this Quite often.
    2. If you can run your Razr through a System Cache at least every other week if you have allot apps and and other things running on the phone it might not hurt running it once every week..
    3. If you have apps slowing down the phone I'd try running it in Safe Mode see how it performs with it in engaged if you find problematic if you have an excessive amount of apps as Ref. suggested remove them.. 
    4. Add this app to your Phone <> System Panel App it is available in Free or Paid form I've had the paid Version for 3 years now on 4 phones I wouldn't be with out it <> Info for the App <> http://goo.gl/1mgfp5  <> the included link share's some light on the app.
    5. During the Day if you use the phone in a heavy way, Like using your apps, Camera, Text , Emails things like that you can Hold the Home button for a seconds doing this will bring up what you used to remove it either brush to the Right <> Left and it will clear it..
    6. If you bought a stand for your Razr and you can take it to work with you use it and a charger at your Desk that can help keep it charged it I have one of these Stands or Pedestal it's supposed to be called To look at shots of my stand and my Charge cord that came with it.. Follow below..

  • On an Ipod 4th Gen, I get a blank screen in the apple apps screen.  Any suggestions on how to get the blank screen off?

    On the app store app, I only get a blank/white screen.  If I search for an app, nothing happens, only the blank/white screen.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    bostonshazzer,
    What model iPod do you have?  This feature is not supported on all models. You are positive you are holding down the Select (Center) button with the song highlighted until it disappears?  Are you sure you are in your On-the-Go playlist and not just a regular one?

    Hi I am having trouble with iMessage on the mac book pro, it doesnt sync with the ipad and iPhone, both the ipad and iPhone do but not on the mac book pro , has anyone any suggestions, thanks in advance

    First, make sure that all your devices are using the same Apple ID in iMessages including your Mac.  Second, your messages that you've already started on your devices will not show up on your Mac - only ones that you start from now on will show up.  Third, if you're still not syncing accross all devices, make sure you read the directions on the first page of this thread.  It should work after performing those steps.  Good luck!
