My iPod Loses Battery Quickly For No Reason
I know you guys never like to reply to anyone's topics, especially the last 10 of mine and I know I don't have any points but can you please help me?
I've had this ipod classic for 7 months now and reciently when I use it, the battery is fully charged then when I let it sleep after listening to it after it is fully charged, still around 100% just losing a little right?
But then in the afternoon by the end of school, it goes down and it is sleeping and by the end of school it is almost out of battery. What is causing this to happen and how can I fix it?
There's actually no way to turn off coverflow, you can just remove the option from the main and music menus.
You said that you've had your iPod about 7 months, and that it would be too expensive to bring it to an Apple store. The unit is still under warranty, so repairs or replacement should be free - unless, of course the issue is due misuse of the product. I believe defective batteries are covered.
As SithLordDarth mentioned above, the very first thing you need to do is ensure you are using the latest version of the firmware.

My ipod touch shut down for no reason. now when i try to turn it on again, it goes to the apple icon to the spinning wheel, then it repeats.
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.

IPod loses battery charge when uploading from iTunes
Hey all,
I really could use some help here. I don't know what happened but for some reason my iPod's full battery quickly (and I mean within minutes) goes down to empty when I try to upload the songs from iTunes. I have reset the iPod several times and also restored it hoping that would help but it hasn't.
I'm dreading hearing the phrase "time to get a new battery" on this because I really don't want to send it in. I listen to it everyday and can't live without it.
Any suggestions? I'm using a PC so I can't charge and upload at the same time.
iPod 3rd generation (touch wheel) Windows XPNo, I have a PC, not a mac so I can't charge while my iPod is connected to my computer.
The battery has been ok, not great, but I've been able to use it for a few hours without having to re-charge. However, in the last few days it hasn't wanted to take a full charge for some reason.
I'm probably going to have to send it in to be replaced which is unfortunate because it's only 2 years old. -
The volume on my Ipod touch goes down for no reason. Please HELP!!
When running, my Ipods' volume starts to go down for no reason. It works fine for the first 10 minutes or so, then it goes down. I turn it up, it goes back down.
With headphones only?
With speakers only?
If only with headphones try another pair of headphones

My IPhone 5 lose battery quickly
IPhone 5 lose battery quickly
Hello!
Since my iPhone 5 (1+ years old now) almost constantly loses its charge down to 1% within 2-3 hours I seem to have a similar if not the same (very annoying) problem I herewith ask you to tell me where and how to search for solid suggestions of how to lessen the problem it causes in my life! I aquired this (&&&&&) iPhone 5 to be able to make phone calls (not many at all (- 2-5) a day!) short 2-10min max and Text Messages (mostly iMessages!)! these are the main use of my iPhone 5!
According to the Battery usage information the iOS 8.1.3 gives me for the last 7 days is as follows: Messages = 19% , Home an Lock Screen = 14% (?? shall I completely turn my phone off to save these percentages?), Safari = 11%, Phone = 11%, Calendar = 8%, Mail = 8%, Notes = 2%! Remaining = 1% each, where the most of them i don't understand why these are using that (much!?) Battery Power!
Any Suggestions on how i can minimize this Battery consumption?
Don't forget that i am almost all the time rechararge my iPhone 5 to 100% when not in use (2 -3 sometimes 4 times per day) and i keep it on the plugged in charger from ~ 10pm to 6am EVERY day too! Am i using my iPhone too often? BTW: I also used a $$$Lenmar Meridia Batter case (which I sent to Lenmar to evaluate it about 2 weeks ago)! I have not yet heard anything back from them so it looks like a bigger problem to me!) I am not looking for threads on this topic - I am looking (still) for solutions!
Please let me know where i can find more helpful suggestions! I hope you got some!
Thanks -

There a several posts about the battery dying quickly with firmware 1.0.2. Check here (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5610235�) for a fairly succinct explanation and workaround until Apple hopefully fixes the issue with the next firmware update.

IPod keeps resyncing tracks for no reason.
Grrrrr. All of a sudden, and for no apparent reason. Any time i connect my ipod classic, roughly 1500 tracks decide to resync themselves, even though they haven't been played, ratings haven't been added, haven't been added to any play-lists etc. As you can imagine, it's very annoying indeed, and probably not doing the ipod's HDD lifespan any favours either.
I've tried restoring my ipod, and re-installing itunes. But alas, it's still behaving badly.
Help!!!

My suggestion would be to start a brand new iTunes library and resync your entire iPod. It sounds as though there is an issue with the library file in which the "sync indicator" for these songs is not being properly set.
You can start a new library by holding down the "Shift" key while starting iTunes (Click Here to see Apple's instructions). You will then be prompted to either open a different library, or create a new one. This procedure will not over-write your old library, but will, instead, create a second library in the location of your choosing (the new folder "iTunes 1" is the default location). You then need to replicate the settings from your old library (music location, for instance) and import all of your music to the new library. Make certain the setting to "Copy files to iTunes music location" is off (you don't want two copies of all of your music files). Once all this is done, you can sync your iPod with the new library. This will erase the iPod's contents and replace it with the contents of the new library (so make certain that all of your music is there).
Keep in mind that if you choose to try this, things like play counts, ratings, etc. will not be moved to the new library.
If this does not work, or the results are unsatisfactory, you can go back to using your original library by holding the "Shift" key again and choosing your old library when prompted.
If you have any questions, please let us know. -
i have an ipod touch and my password for wiifi isnt working? i never had a problem with this before is there a way u can recover or change it? also my music is stuck in a folder on my computer and will not let me sync or add it back to my ipod. am i going to have to download all my music cds back on it? also purchased some music from iunes and its not showing up on my ipod either.
For music problem:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
For wifi
Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

Ipod Touch Stopped Working For No Reason!!
Hi, First time post.
Basically, until about a week ago my ipod was working perfectly.
It ran out of battery so charged up over night as usual.
When i tried to turn it on the next day nothing happened at all. I tried to plug it into charge in the wall and on my computer but nothing happened!
My computer does not even recognise i have connected my ipod now.
I have tried using a new cable with no success. I have also tried all the reset combinations with no success either.
When i plug my ipod in to either the wall or the computer it heats up quite a bit but nothing happens.
Please Help!!
ThanksHi Bairn2009,
Try resetting the iPod touch by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
If the iPod starts up like normal and is still not recognized by iTunes, try the tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852
If the iPod does not restart normally, it may need hardware repair.
This article: http://www.apple.com/uk/support/ipod/service/faq/#repair2 provides more information about repair options.

IPod touch keeps DINGING for no reason!?!?
Every so often my iPod makes a single "ding" sound, like someone hitting chime or bell.
There seems to be NO correlation with any app, for no notification of any kind shows up - not even badges.
It seems to be random as well. For example, it may ding once in two hours, or 3 times in a row.
HELP! It's driving me crazy.Have you tried turning off all notifications to see if it is a notification?

Ipod Just shuts down for no reason
Hey guys,
I just had my i pod replaced yesterday it was under warranty and they exchanged my 6 month old 80 gig i pod for a new one. I left on my computer all night so it could sync and charge, And then today it would just shut down by itself randomly, and you could not get it turned back on until you plugged it into the wall power supply. Any ideas what to do?Hi trmpt251,
Try resetting your iPod. To reset an iPod with a clickwheel:
First, toggle your iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times. (Be sure to leave it on the white side of the switch, which is the Off position)
Then, press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for 5-10 seconds.
Repeat this a few times. Preferrably, while your iPod is connected to your computer, or other power source.
After you've done this, and if your iPod can successfully turn on, then let's try restoring it to factory settings.
For instructions, check out this Knowledge Base article:
Restoring iPod to factory settings
If your iPod still does not successfully turn on, then go through the suggestions in these documents. If you can get your iPod up and running (temporarily, at least) again, then go to the link above and try restoring your iPod:
iPod won't turn on
iPod stops responding or won't wake from sleep
iPod: No power or frozen

Plays part of a song, shuts off. Doesn't matter if it is plugged fully into a jack or docked onto a radio. Anything I find online shows that this is common for this ipod..should I return it and get something that actually works?
