No battery power remains...

Hi. My nano's battery died and the screen has said "no battery power remains. please connect ipod to power." for hours now. when I plug it into my computer, neither my itunes or my ipod recognize that it's plugged in and it's not recharging. Is my battery actually dead, dead?

+Important: iPod will stop charging if the computer, or portable computer, it's connected to enters standby, hibernation, or sleep mode. To charge your iPod, connect it directly to a computer's USB port and make sure standby, hibernation, or sleep mode is turned off.+
+Note: If using a portable computer, make sure it is plugged in to a power source and that the lid or display is open. If the lid is closed the computer may go into either standby, sleep, or hibernation mode and iPod will not charge properly.+

Ipod mini- 3/4 battery shutting down with "no battery power remaining"

After fully charging my ipod mini, while it still has 3/4 battery on the battery meter in the corner will shut itself down due to "no battery power remaining" if i push the NEXT button too many times in a row. This is a consistant problem and always happens when i have a half battery power or more. I do keep it in Shuffle mode, and i am fully aware that will drain the battery quicker, however there should be no reason a freshly charged ipod with 3/4 battery should not be able to shuffle a few songs without shutting down. Has anyone else ever had this problem or knows of any solution for fixing it? Any help would be appreciated!!

my ipod is doing the same thing...except when I turn it on it will say i have 3/4 battery for only about 10 seconds, then it turns off. All the other forums I have read say to get the battery replaced, but Apple can and usually does send a faulty battery so it might be time for a new ipod.

Screen frozen saying "No battery power remains. Please connect iPod to powe

My ipod mini just froze with the message No battery power remains please connect to power except the power was not low when it came up and even connected to power it does not respond. I tried to reset it except it will not respond, shut off, etc. If you connect the headphones it appears to be playing the music in a very choppy way. Please help! The only relevant thing i saw to do was reset which clearly doesnt work for my case! Thanks!! And please any pointers will be helpful!!

"No battery power remains. Please connect iPod to power."

I plugged my iPod into my laptop last night to sync/charge it like I always do, with no problem... today I unplugged it and turned it on, and after about 30 seconds it shut down, saying that my battery was dead. I brought it back and plugged it in... if I plug it in via USB cable, it just says that my battery power is extremely low and to please wait, and every few minutes it will light up and show the black screen with the silver apple, then just go back to "please wait". If I plug it in with a wall charger, it works, but it says it's fully charged, and as soon as I unplug it, it displays "No battery power remains. Please connect iPod to power." It still registers on my computer (as long as I start it with the wall charger, then switch the cables quick...), and I restored it, but it's still saying it's fully charged, and I know it's not. I've also tried resetting it a few times.
Help???

I just had a similar problem with mine... It's like it gets into a loop where it's trying to boot up before there's enough charge. I've managed to break the cycle and get a charging logo on the screen - although I don't yet know whether this has fixed the problem.
I suggest you let it run completely dry and then plug it directly into your computer. Don't press any buttons and it possibly might make a difference whether Itunes is running (I think it was off for me). Hoepfully, if you leave it for half an hour or so, it will get the battery charge to a reasonable level where you can continue normally.
I kinda stumbled on this as I was playing around, so not sure whether the steps above are what improved the situation.
Hope there's some helpful info in there.

Can't recharge nano - it says no battery power remains ...

The battery has obviously gone flat. I have connected it to my computer using the same USB port as I set it up with and using the cable that came with the iPod. Nothing is happening. I can't turn it off either.
The message on the screen says "No battery power remains. Please connect iPod to power." What can I do?
This is the first time (other than the initial charging) that I have tried to recharge it.
Thanks

Maybe I'm not as useless as I thought.
I managed to turn it off by holding down the menu and centre button for about 5 seconds or so. Once it was off it started recharging.

What does the arrow beside battery power remaining mean?

there is a small arrow beside the percentage of battery life remaining on my iPad? I haven't seen this before. what does it mean?

Please get the iPad iOS 4 user guide.

Ipod says no battery power remains....

so say stated in the subject, says that every so often, mostly only happens when the battery meter is 1/2 full. then it restartes its self and most of the time goes on for a few more hours. and other times, it just kills itself. i have talked to some people that i know have the same mini and they told me theres were doing the same thing. this issue just started when the new year came. i've had it for more than a year now, and its been pretty good other then that. please help me take care of this...

IPhone 5 shuts down at 37% battery power...

This has happened 6 times now - all random times (twice when using FaceTime, twice when taking pictures and twice when texting/emailing). When I try to reboot phone I get screen that shows no battery power remains and that you need to plug in phone. I then plug it in and it powers back on and jumps to 47% battery power. Anyone have this experience??

I, too am seeing this happen lately. I'd guess it's because my phone is a year old now but I'd prefer it to be something else. :)
I should mention that I'm still running OS6. I did the "upgrade" to OS7 on my iPad and I HATE it! I figure that eventually I'll have to move up to the new OS sooner or later but I'm holding off as long as possible!
Has anyone had any success in tracking down what the problem actually is?

Low or no ipod battery power

A few years ago the battery power became fickle in colder weather. Now it has progressed to whenever I disconnect it from its dock station to either play it or add more songs to it, it either stops playing and or does not load songs with this message: "No Battery Power Remains Please connect Ipod to power". Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how do I fix it? Is it time for a new batter power purchase? Or is there a way to add songs without disconnecting from its docking station?

I believe it is time for a new Ipod/ battery. Apple wont replace any internal parts but will send you a new/ refurbished ipod identical to yours for around $125. You will, however, need to reload all songs, pictures, etc. 3rd partry sites will sell you a new battery for around $100 but most require you to install it yourself. Opening the Case will void the warranty. Which brings up another good point: if you still have a warranty (1 year from Apple, possible store/ credit card extension) use it. Your final option is to give your ipod to an apple store where they will recycle it for you and give you a 10% discount on a new Ipod of your chopice. hope this helps!! (this is what i have to do)

No Battery Power

My new 2GB Nano is great but this morning while jogging it went dead. The window say "No battery power remains. Please connect iPod to power." It has successfully recharged before when I've docked it on my Logic 3 docking station/speakers. Today nothing happens when I put it on there. We're out of town right now, the laptop is too old to connect it to, should I just wait until I can connect it to my pc? Thanks.

You might need to let your iPod sit and charge on the speaker system for about 30 minutes or more, if you haven't done that already.
Also, have you tried resetting your iPod?
Press and hold the Menu and Select (middle of clickwheel) buttons together for about 5-10 seconds.
Try resetting, then as soon as it is starting back up with the Apple logo on the screen, connect it to the Logic 3 system again, and see if it will charge.

Extreme loss of battery power on iPad mini

WWhy is my iPad mini suddenly losing its charge?

I just started experiencing this problem as well within the last week and a half. The first occurance involved activating the backlight (menu button) immediately after waking the iPod from sleep. The unit lit up, let me navigate the menus, but then about 5 seconds after the song started playing, I got the "No battery power remains, please plug in to a power source" (or something along that line)
After this point I have not been able to use my iPod until it has been plugged in to the charger (which has only registered a fully charged condition once in the past week, despite a total of about 100 hours on the charger...)
I am not sure, but it seems that cycling the hold button has something to do with the phenominon, but I have not had a decent chance to test it. I hope someone knows what's going on, this is rather lame...

MBP running out of battery power before sleeping - Help!

Hi
My MacBook Pro has been running out of battery power before the memory-saving sleep mode kicks in, so it dies with a little click of the HD. It's not a hibernation state as when I reattach the power supply it boots up a new session.
I've noticed this since upgrading to Snow Leopard last year, but put it down to an old battery that had 45% charge and wasn't powering the MBP properly. I now have a replacement A1175 5600mAh battery which is giving me 2-3hrs usage (which I'm pleased at), but now it still dies before sleeping!
I have tried to cycle the new battery, but can't. I have reset the SMC several times, with no effect.
I used to cycle the battery every week or two, running it down until it would no longer wake from sleep, recharge overnight etc, but now I can't do this because it will die before sleeping!
I've read quite a few articles over the net about this issue, but there seems like no cure. It's really annoying me now as I frequently work on the move and a dying MBP could potentially be disastrous.
Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Is there something I haven't tried yet? I think it's a late '06 MBP.

If you are not getting a warning, then there is something amiss with your battery. If a SMC reset and calibration does not fix the problem, then you may need to make an appointment at the genius bar and arrange to have your battery tested.
My old battery started doing the same thing--shutting down without warning. I replaced it, and the replacement battery started doing the exact same thing. I then returned the replacement, and the next replacement battery behaves in a normal fashion.
My first battery was worn out. My second battery was defective. My third battery is good.
Your battery should still be under warranty. Go back to where you got it and show them what it is doing and see if you can get a replacement.
Good luck!

Mac Book Pro Shuts down on Battery Power

First, I apologize to everyone for asking this question yet again. I have gone through the previous posts and I am still at a loss. So thank you for your patience and help.
When I run my MacBook pro on battery power it will run for around 15 - 20 minutes... then just be dead. No low battery warning. No shut down. Just poof and gone.
I have looked at my power settings to see if my battery is bad. But I don't have a Status indicator in there. I see This:

I have also looked at the directions on http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1490 about how to calibrate my battery. It says:
" 1. Plug in the power adapter and fully charge your PowerBook's battery until the light ring or LED on the power adapter plug changes to green and the onscreen meter in the menu bar indicates that the battery is fully charged.
2. Allow the battery to rest in the fully charged state for at least two hours. You may use your computer during this time as long as the adapter is plugged in.
3. Disconnect the power adapter while the computer still on and start running the computer off battery power. You may use your computer during this time. When your battery gets low, the low battery warning dialog appears on the screen.
4. At this point, save your work. Continue to use your computer; when the battery gets very low, the computer will automatically go to sleep.
5. Turn off the computer or allow it to sleep for five hours or more.
6. Connect the power adapter and leave it connected until the battery is fully charged again."
Only I have a problem withe step 3 and 4. I don't get the warning, and it doesn't go to sleep. So, I don't think any calibration is working.
Do I need a new battery? Should I just buy one? This computer is WAY out of warranty and I never purchased and apple care plan for it.
Again, than you for any and all advice on what I may need to do.

I think it's time to buy a new battery

Battery, Power, Deep Sleep and Spotlight problems after 10.9.4 update

Hi, I have a Macbook Pro 8,1 13in (Late 2011). I updated to the latest version of Mavericks (10.9.4) and iTunes on Sunday, right after that my macbook started to goes into Deep Sleep after closing the lid, even when the battery was 80% of charge. My battery normally lasts for almost 5 hours. After it went to deep sleep, the power bottom does not respond. Also, I have noticed that spotlight process in Monitor was consuming so huge amount of resources. This problem persists in Boot Camp. There is no way to turn the machine up without plugging it to the power cord. Sometimes it charges the battery as usual, sometimes it does not recognize the battery. Suddenly, the mac goes into sleep mode while I'm using it.
I have researching and troubleshooting in order to fix this but no solution. I have reset the PRAM and SMC. I made a backup of my files and installed Mavericks from the ground with external storage in order to erase the entire disk, no solution. I made an Internet Recovery and downgraded it to Lion, it worked for 2 hours and then I upgraded again to Mavericks (10.9.0) and the same problem came again, the upgraded to 10.9.4 and no solution at all.
I have searched on internet and there are other people experiencing this problem but nobody is able to bring a valid solution.
This is my battery's health:

HP Envy 14 (2020NR) - randomly missed keystrokes after wake from sleep (on battery power only)

While running on battery power, sometimes when I wake from sleep, keystrokes will randomly be missed. It doesn't always happen, and I need to do more experimentation to figure out just how often it occurs. To fix it, I just reboot the computer (while still on battery power), and the problem seems to be gone. It can also be fixed by simply plugging in to A/C power. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
I have seen similar threads where people say that repeated keystrokes are missed, or rapid keystrokes are missed -- but so far those threads have remained unanswered, and my problem seems a little different in that no one else has mentioned a correlation with running on battery power. The problem never occurs otherwise, for me.

If you are still under warranty you need to return the laptop for service. If not I am afraid it is a motherboard issue requiring replacement. You have done all the diagnostics a professional would do. The fact that the battery works in another computer tells us it is not the battery.

No battery power remains...
