My ipod touch isn't holding a charge

My ipod touch 4th gen hasn''t been holding a charge lately. I've checked my settings- brightness, wifi, push, and such- and nothing. It drains very easily and it didn't used to before. Any suggestions?

Likely the battery is just wearing out. How long does a full chrge last and what is the iPod doing during that time?

Likely that the battery is dead. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm. Apple will replace the battery for this price:

IPod Touch does not hold a charge

I had a 3rd generation iPod Touch that would hold a charge for a long time until suddenly (just before the warranty ran out) it would no longer hold the charge. I could fully charge it and leave it sit unused for about 3 days and it would be dead. After much tech support from Apple (we tried restoring original settings, removing all apps, etc., etc., etc.), they sent me a replacement. The replacement has had the same issue since day 1. I have now been experimenting with other settings and it seemed to hold the charge a little better when the wifi was turned off, but I always used to leave the wifi on and it didn't drain the battery at all. What is going on??

The recent iOSs for iPods allow the iPod to do more when the iPod is asleep. I just leave my Ipod in airplane mode when I am not using it. My 4G go excellent batter life with the original iOS (4.1 I think). I could just let it sleep with wifi one. However, wtih the resent iOSs, the batteyr would almost completly drain overnight.

My iPod touch won't hold a charge since 1.1.3 update

After the 1.1.3 update, I purchased the iPhone apps for my iPod touch and also added 6 webpage addresses to my home screen. There is two pages on my homescreen. I also added two email accounts, one using yahoo, and one using msn, going through izymail. since the update, my iPod won't hold a charge at all. I haven't really used it yet, but once or twice during the day I check my mail, and other than that it is off. They battery constantly drains, If it is full, it will lose batter life in about a day, just sitting on my night stand turned off. No music or videos are left playing. Is something with the update or my iPod, can I fix it? Oh, I change it from an apple usb wall charger, and I got my iPod at christmas.
Thanks

You say your turning it off does that mean you are holding in the sleep button and sliding the unit off or does it mean you are just locking the unit with the screen off?
If you have the Wifi enabled and only have the IPT in standby mode then this is why it's depleting the battery so quickly. Charge the unit till it's full with the little plug showing and then eject it and turn off wifi and leave the unit in standby overnight and see if the battery depletes at all.
I've noticed that Wifi really ***** the life out of the battery very quickly so give it a try and report back to us.

HT201263 Argh! My iPod touch isn't showing the charging screen when I plug it in. I've tried several articles, but none seem to work! What do i do? I don't want my iPod to die. It's worth over $350

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My Ipod touch isn't charging or showing the charging icon!!

My ipod touch isn't charging at all. It is not recognized by itunes. It isn't showing charging icon both in the screen and at the top. I tried different chargers, usb cables and all. What do I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Since you did not say how long the battery lasts I am nut sure the battery is the problem.

My ipod touch isn't connecting to the internet???

The internet on my iPod touch has always worked, but today it's not connecting to anything. When I go to settings and then wi-fi it says it's connected to my internet but doesn't show at the top left bar and isn't working? I have tried turning it on and off, I've reset my network connection and have gone through the common wi-fi issues. This is really weird because it is actually connected to the internet but it's not working at all. Please help!

- Have you tried resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Haveyou powered off and thenback on your router?

My ipod touch isn't working. Please help!!

So I was using my Ipod touch, generation 4 32g, recently and I dropped it onto a wooden floor. The hard case (i got it at one of the stand things at the mall) fell off like it usually does when i drop it on a hard surface. I picked it up and it continued to work. I went to my room, bought a new app and played it for a while. When I was done using it I lightly tossed it onto my bed. A little while later I went and picked it up and tried to use it. The screen was completely black and would not turn on when I held down the power button. Usually when it dies because the battery is too low, when I hold the power button an i con comes up but it won't even do that. I have tried charging it but it won't work. Is there any way to fix it without needing to get a new one? I don't know if there is a warrenty on it because I got it as a gift. If you have had this problem or a simmilar one could you please let me know how much it would cost without a warrenty or with a warrenty. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Your iPod is probably covered by the warranty. Check here:
Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
However, it does not cover misuse such as caused by dropping the iPod.
- Try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- See if placing the iPod in recovery will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
