MY new Ipod Nano does not hold a charge. I use it mostly as a watch, perhaps look at it 5 or 6 times in 8 hours, and leave it in sleep mode the rest of the time. I drains to the red line in less than 2 days. My husband's nano will last a week this way.

Am I doing something incorrectly to cause this short battery life?

You are still under warranty if your iPod is "new." Take full advantage of it by either calling iPod tech support, Apple Care if you have it or take it in to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

Why would you throw it away if it is in warranty? Why not exchange it?
What kind of laptop is it?

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.

New(?) battery does not hold a charge.

I purchased my G4 iBook used. The battery percentage reads 95% full, but after disconnecting the power, it only lasts about 5 minutes until it is dead.
But the battery appears "new". Here is what the profiler says:
It is an Apple OEM battery.
Battery Information:
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 2729
Charging: No
Full charge capacity (mAh): 2867
Health Information:
Cycle count: 43
Condition: Good
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): 0
Voltage (mV): 16631
I don't know much of what this means, any help is appreciated!

So then the problem is the transfer of charge from the power source to the battery within the machine's power management unit. Sometimes resetting it can help:

If it doesn't then, you need to take the machine in to service.

My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support?

My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support? Useless to say my PC didn't recognize the Ipod anymore either.

Anton, I wish I could help. I had an old iPod Classic (60 KB) as a gift but it went dead, I dropped it a few times accidentally, and it sat carefully saved until I had sufficient resources, energy and time to get the matter addressed. In my case, I actually took the thing (after making sure it was charged) to an Apple store and one of the geniuses at the genius bar at the back of the store took it and did a few things (unseen and un-noted) with his fingers and handed it to me with a sly smile. Voila, the thing was functional. I got a re-functionalized iTunes account and store access when I bought my iMac. I did lose a few tunes along the way because it didn't recognize my new iMac as the source (my old dead PC laptop), but I have a more functional memory than the iPod and recovered them all in other ways. The whole thing is humming better than ever. At over 11 gb full, I have 4.2 days worth of portable listening. Be patient; it took me four years to get musical nirvana in a pocket, but you'll get there faster. Call support.

MacBook Air 11 in. does not hold a charge

I have a brand new MacBook Air 11 inch computer that I got in the fall of 2013. It does not hold a charge for very long, probably only 2-3 hours before I have to charge it again. This happens even though I always have my brightness on low. When I shut down my computer at the end of the night and go to use it the next day, the battery will also be drained. I do not know why this happens...

1. did you often drain the battery very low?
2. did you often /always have your macbook on charge,......or did you often / always BOTH have your macbook on charge AND in sleep mode?
1 or 2 are harsh on the battery chemistry and therefore its longevity
all batteries are consumables meant to replaced either in their own "due time" or early due to abuse / misuse.

My brand new ipod touch won't hold a charge

IPad does not hold a charge. Anyone know why?

My ipad does not hold a charge. I charged it yesterday and didnt use it at all today plus I even shut it down all the way not just sleep.

I doubt that anyone here, with the limited knowledge of how you actually use your device, could ever do more than hazard a guess. Your power adapter is bad and not charging properly .... It is possible that the battery indicator is giving you an incorrect reading and that the iPad has more battery power left than it shows on the meter, but if it shuts down on its own after less than say - 6 hours - on a full charge - then something is wrong.

You may want to read both articles and make your own determination. You can always try restoring the device and see if that helps. Read this for help.

You could try a hard reset and see if that helps at all.
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.

The new Nano does not hold it's place in a song.

New software came out today but this problem has not been fixed. This is what happens if I stop the Nano in mid-song (or movement) and wait perhaps more than half an hour to resume. I press play and see where I was in the song that was playing. The song and timer bar are where they were.
But as the music actually starts there is a skip to the next track! What is more, if you try to go back to the previous track, it will skip over it and go back two. If you move forward, it will skip ahead two. It seems impossible to find your way back to where you stopped. No iPod I had before this displayed this problem. I don't think my 80G Video iPod has this issue.
This problem combined with the main Music listing of the iPod in iTunes not holding your user choices make the current experience a little less than it was.
But there is gapless playback. That does count for a lot. Sigh.

OK. Since no one replied I restored my Nano 2. It still does this. Can anyone say theirs doesn't? Stop the music halfway or anyplace inside a track. Let the iPod rest for a few hours. Hit Play again. You see the song you were on and the place where you were. It is in Pause mode. Hit Play again to continue the song. At this point mine skips to the beginning of the next track. If I left click the wheel, it skips over the previous to the one before that.
This does not happen with my 80G Video iPod. It holds it's place and the music continues.
This is an 8G black Nano.

Brand new IPOD touch does not work w Bose speaker docking station is there anything that needs to be done?. The Nano that I have works fine.

My new Ipod touch is not working with my Bose Speaker docking station. My Nano works fine.
Any reasons for this?

Does Bose say it will work with your model iPod and iOS?
Does it appear that the iPod fully seating in the dock?

Battery life seems short or the battery does not hold a charge, seems to drain quickly or does not last as long as expected.

IMPORTANT Notes while charging your Reader device:
It is recommended to charge the Reader using the supplied AC Adapter. When using the AC adapter to charge your Reader device, the lightning bolt symbol that appears next to the battery icon [FIG. 1] on the display of your Reader device is an indication that it is connected to AC power and is charging the battery properly. If the lightning bolt symbol is not present, double check the AC Adapter to ensure that your Reader device is properly connected. This symbol does not appear while charging via a USB connection.
If you charge via a USB connection and leave your Reader Digital Book connected to the computer to charge and the computer goes into sleep/hibernation, charging will stop and the red charge indicator on the Reader will turn off. If left connected, your battery may begin to discharge. To avoid this, turn off any sleep/hibernation settings while charging or set your sleep or hibernation settings to come on after your Reader Digital Book has been charged and then disconnect it from the computer once charging has completed.
It will take approximately 4 hours to achieve a full charge with a computer. It will take approximately 2 hours to achieve a full charge with the optional AC Adapter.
If your Reader Digital Book is left connected to a powered USB hub while the computer is shut down, your battery may begin to discharge. Disconnect your Reader from the hub when the computer is not powered on.
Always verify that your Reader is fully charged by disconnecting it from the computer and checking the battery indicator. The battery indicator will display 4 black bars when it is fully charged
On a full charge, the battery has the capability of up to 7,500 continuous page turns. Actual battery life will vary based on usage patterns, settings and battery conditions. When the Reader is turned on, off, or a page is marked, battery power is used, thus lowering the expected battery life.
NOTE: When storing the Reader for a long period of time, use the Device Shutdown feature in the Advanced settings menu. After using Device Shutdown, it may take approximately 30 seconds for the Reader to start the next time the Reader is turned on.
Playing audio will reduce the battery life. If you did not start audio play back intentionally, confirm audio is not playing. You will not hear playback unless headphones are connected. Audio playback will continue until it is stopped by turning it off from the Now Playing menu. To see if audio is playing, press the HOME button and then press the OPTION button. If Now Playing is displayed in the dialogue box that appears, tap Now Playing and this will take you to the song that is playing. Press the Pause button to stop playback of that song and then press the HOME button.
NOTES:
Due to the nature of the E Ink electronic display technology, the LCD can retain an image without having power. Turning the page is the only time power is consumed. If the Reader's power is drained, the LCD will retain the last image that was displayed, thus making it appear like the Reader is frozen and in some instances it will not have enough power to perform other operations such as turning on or off.
Battery life can be affected by operating temperatures below 41 degrees F, lack of use, or if the battery has not been given enough time to fully charge.
As with any battery, if the Reader is stored for an extended period of time, the battery will discharge on it's own. Therefore, it may be necessary to charge the battery prior to use.
If the Reader has not been used for an extended period of time, repeatedly charging and discharging will improve the efficiency of the battery.
If the battery life still seems short, the battery may need to be replaced.

Brand new ipod touch does not work

Brand new ipod does not work will not sync or power up.

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 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.

HT1386 My new iPod Classic does not sync correctly

I replaced an iPod Nano with a new iPod classic. When I sync it from my MacBook Pro's iTunes, many songs and playlists are not synced to the iPod. I never had a problem with the old Nano. All songs are checked (selected). Sometimes syncing changes the contents of a playlist even though all songs are selected in itunes.
