My ipod shuffle battery dies quickly.  Any suggestions?

My ipod shuffle battery dies quickly and when I plug it in to charge it just blinks orange. . .

Hello jharris1222,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The blinking orange status light indicates that the device is syncing with iTunes.  Please see the following for more information:
Blinking orange indicates that the unit is syncing with iTunes or that disk use was enabled in iTunes. In this state, iPod shuffle may be charging or fully charged. Check the charge status icon next to the iPod shuffle in iTunes or eject iPod shuffle from iTunes but leave it connected to USB and determine if the status light changes to solid green or solid orange.

  • I updated the IOS and my phone no longer works, it just displays the Apple logo and eventually dies. Any suggestions?

    I updated my IOS and now my phone no longer works. All I get is the Apple logobuntil the battery dies. Any suggestions?

    Charge the battery for several hours.  Then reset by holding the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    If you then see the USB cable and an iTunes display, follow the direction and plug your iPhone into iTunes.

    hi!
    my battery dies quicker than before, even without using the phone
    aslo it shuts down unxpectedly (sometimes shuts down at 30% then i cant restart it until i blog it to the charger)
    and sometimes jumps from 40% to 20% or from 20% to 3%
    i have done many things people recommanded it for me like :
    restore : i've done two restores and it gets better for the first 1-2 weeks then it gets worse than before.
    also deleted my music list (19gb) in order to make this better (as recommended) but it still the same
    my screen brightness is always ALWAYS low , almost the lowest.
    i close the apps when i finish using them ALL OF THEM
    i dont use the camera and flash , almost rarely. just to save battery.
    i dont use the location service always.
    i dont charge my phone until it shuts down and i dont unblog it until it reachs 100%
    basically i have tried eveything.

    Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Battery dies quick when watching a movie

    When I watch a movie on my 30gb ipod, the battery dies super fast. I have never made it through a movie without it dying. What is going on? What should I do?

    Video does use up battery power a lot faster than music does. However, you should at least be able to get through a single movie (assuming your movie is about 90-minute-2 hrs or so). How long do you get on the battery for music?

  • IPod Nano battery dies after 2 days in Sleep

    My iPod Nano is about 2 years old and is working great for the most part. When fully charged, I can listen to music for 6-8 hours before the battery dies. But, if the iPod is fully charged and not connected to my computer and put in sleep mode, the battery is fully depleted after about 1-2 days. Is this normal? I know that even in sleep mode, the iPod will draw some power from the battery, but I thought it would stay charged for longer than it is. Any suggestions?
    I have checked that it is not getting awakened by any alarms. Do I need a new $59 battery?
    Thanks.

    I agree with you on the wallsocket charging thing, it's a must have, really. The case is a different thing.
    People would get stuck with a generic case, and not have one they liked. Now, you can buy whatever color/shape you want, without hassle.
    The reason I got a white one: the earplhones, the radioremote and all other things are white. If black ones were included/available, I'd have gotten a black one.
    Oh, and I have mine 1.5 months now, and am as happy as a clam. I used to have a portable CDplayer with MP3 capabilities, but it was HUGE. This fits in my shirt pocket, doesn't have any moving parts (no skipping when running), and is just about as cool as it can get.

  • Ipod mini battery dies

    my iPod mini's battery dies within 10 minutes. I'll charge it overnight and still only around ten minutes. I got the speakers but that charger doesnt work either. I don't know what to do.

    hey,
    i just changed my ipod mini's battery because of the same problem (10 hour charge to a 5 minute life span) . it appears to me that the new battery (more ampage than the original) provides no improvement whatsoever, in fact, worsened the lifespan!
    If I leave my ipod switched off with the hold on, it will reset it self and then half of the battery will go away..
    any reasons /???

  • Ipod shuffle does not repond any more

    The ipod has worked for four months, though i havent used so frequently. And to day it does not respond any more or can not be found when inserted in may mac (OSX) or my pc (XP), they have both "high-power USB" and "high-speed USB", have also tried in a number of other pcs an macs with the same result. The Mac and the PC cant even find the ipod as an USB memmory/removable memmory, incredible!!!. Since it is not responding i cant make any "restore", and the restor seems to be the final solution to fix whatever problem got the ipod to get lame. The version on itunes is 6.

    you're not the only one........i'm having the same problem
    Here's my scenario,
    i got my ipod shuffle from an electronics store in the states during the week of 4th of July 2005; however, i'm from Toronto, Canada.........Canadian citizen. I tested out my ipod shuffle @ my cousins computer before i left, which worked. Took it to Toronto (my hometown).......and I was enjoying it. Almost a month of using it, the battery was almost getting low and it needs to be charged. I got my new computer (Windows XP pro) between August 18-24. I wanted to add more songs plus charge the shuffle on the computer. I followed the instructions just like @ my cousins house and u know what........my new computer did not recognize the shuffle at all. itunes was available, however. I tried it again another day...putting the shuffle on another USB, still not recognizing.......i noticed there was an orange light blinking and i took it off the computer. I thought it was broken....songs were still there. Few hours later.....it's not functioning anymore!!!!!!! I tried everything: updating, restoring.....on/off still ain't working. I tried to chat with an Apple representive....no luck.
    What should i do? Should i go to the Apple store and ask them what's wrong with my ipod.
    There's only 1 Apple store in Canada......and its in Toronto,Ontario. Its far from my house.....located near the west-end.
    Plz give me advise ASAP...............!

  • Ipad 2 battery dies quick

    Hi i had this ipad 2 for 2 months now and the battery dies very quick what can i do to not make it die so fast and another problem is when i have it plugged in my laptop it says not charging on the ipad in the corner what do i do for that i think it says not charging when it is plugged in a wall outlet please help me to resolve these two problems thank you

    There are tips for maximising battery life between charges on this page : www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html
    In terms of not charging when connected to your computer, a lot of computers (especially older ones) generally do not provide enough power to their USB ports in order to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad.
    If it says not charging when you are using the iPad wall charger, then have you tried a reset to see if it charges 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. Otherwise have you tried a different charger and/or cable ? Do you know anybody else with an iPad so that you can try their charger and cable and they can try yours ?
