OK to leave iPod Classic plugged in after charge?

So I've got an iPod Classic, and it's great. But I want it to last as long as it can before I need a new one, so I want to know, is it bad for the battery to leave it plugged in after it finishes charging?

Oh, I didn't even know you were supposed to do that. Thanks for the help

  • IPod Classic 120Gb restarts after syncing?

    Hi,
    When I sync and then eject my iPod classic 120Gb, immediately after rejecting (after the progress bar has gone all the way to the right) the iPod reboots...
    This seems harmless, I'm having no other problems, I'm sure this isn't supposed to happen, right?
    Any ideas, anyone?
    TIA
    Kevin Pitkin

    I forgot to add that usually after I get some songs to sync then I try syncing again, it will end up erasing everything off the iPod and I have to start over.

  • Why does my ipod classic stop playing after a few songs?

    why does my ipod classic stop playing after just a few songs?

    is your battery charged?  How many songs do you have on the playlist (if you are playing a  playlist when it stops)?   I know that when the earbud wires are accidentally disconnected from the ipod body, the music stops automatically.

  • Does the latest Ipod Classic use the same charging pins as the earlier versions?

    Does the latest Ipod Classic use the same charging pin positons as the earlier versions as I want to use it in my Audi where my 5th gen Nano will play but not charge as the pin configuration for charging changed from that of the earlier models.

    If your 5th gen nano doesn't change, then a new iPod Classic will not either.
    The "change" was that older iPods used firewire to charge the iPod. But that's 12volts (the same voltage as a car's battery). Then along came charging by USB, which is 5volts. So car manufacturers who were on the ball, introduced electronics to drop the 12v car battery voltage to 5v and put that 5v on the appropriate USB pins. (I would hope, that by now, every car manufacturer has sorted this out, but of course that doesn't help anyone with an older model car.)
    The incredibly obvious - to anyone with technical knowledge - was that one day, Apple would stop the 12v charging method on newer models of iPod. But somehow, a lot of manufacturers of devices that charge iPods failed to see this. (It really was incredibly obvious, believe me!)
    It wasn't just car manufacturers who were caught out by this, so were Docking Station devices. I know of one make, where the manufacturer recalled the ones still in shops so that they could re-work them to charge using the 5v USB pins.
    In my car, made around 2006, I had an external device fitted so that I could plug my iPod into the car stereo through the Dock Connector. But hey, guess what? That device will charge my iPod Classic, but not my iPod Touch.
    A long-ish answer, but hopefully it not only answers the question, but tells you why too.

  • IPod classic 30gb not holding charge

    As stated above I have an iPod classic 30gb. After a few mins of removing from charger the iPod dies. Is there any way the battery can be replaced.?

    You can hope that when it dries out that it will work. You shouldn't have turned it on yet....so let it sit for a few days and then see if it works. Other than that there isn't much you can do.

    I have heard of that before, Seems like the wall charger was defective. If wit wan an Apple charger I would mak an appointmernt at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Itunes freezing when Ipod Classic plugged in

    When I plug in my ipod classic 80 gb,itunes freezes (cannot click or play anything) and an error message shows up.
    "There is a problem with this drive. Scan the dvice now to fix". Tried that and it doesn't work. It also says my ipod is not responding.
    The newest version of itunes is installed and our computer is windows 8.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have looked at lots of other discussions but nothing has helped my problem.
    Thanks!

    I have the same problem: if I load iTunes for a second time and my iPod is plugged in the iTunes app and the system menus (top right corner of screen) freeze up.
    Unplugging and plugging in the iPod seems un-freeze everything for me.

  • Does leaving ipod Classic constantly docked damage the battery or the screen?

    I have the iPod Classic 160GB. I rarely use it at home, I prefer to play CDs and vinyl, but use it when I'm on the go. So, when I'm at home it's constantly plugged into a docking station, with the 'charged' symbol on the screen all the time. Will this cause any damage to the screen (such as screen burn), or the battery?
    Thanks

    No. As long as you periodically discharge the battery when you are using the iPod then recharging it, you are using it correctly. Although most of the following relates to notebooks, some of it is quite relevant to your iDevice.

    This is extremely annoying and now has happened to the last 2 ipod classics I have had (both 120gb). Apple has made a terrible product or something is wrong with something I am doing. After playing a few songs or skipping through songs the Ipod will shut off and restart itself. PLEASE HELP!

  • Can't synch iPod classic to iTunes after updating iTunes. a duplicate file name was specified.

    I can't synch my iPod classic. "A duplicate file name was specified." I tried on two different computers on which it had previously worked fine.

    Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache from the nominated folder that you have set up to sync photos to the devices.

  • Ipod classic not working after restart

    What do i do if my ipod takes forever to sync and when it is ejected it doesn't have anything on it?? Anyone???, What do i do if my ipod takes forever to sync and when it is ejected it doesn't have anything on it?? Anyone???

    If you are using a Macbook Pro, switch to the other USB port, as only one USB port is compatibly fast enough for iPod Syncing, the other is shared with other builtin devices like iSight, Bluetooth, hence slowing down the transfer rate and causing a timeout.
    It would also help, if you disconnect all other USB devices while you are syncing an iPod classic.
    Do the iPod  Disk Diagnostic, it will help you troubleshoot, the cause of the iTunes Freezing,
    refer to this excellent post by tt2
    Look out for the high numbers, in Pending, Realloc and Temperatures.
    Have a nice day!

  • Can't play music from Universal Dock when iPod classic plugged in

    According to the iPod classic manual, one can play music or video while the iPod is connected to the computer or AC power to be charged up. However, this is not working for me. Instead, it says "Connected", and won't actually let me play music unless I unplug the USB cable. I have set iTunes to NOT start automatically, otherwise it will just sync over and over again, and still never play music. I know the iPod and dock are working correctly because if I unplug the USB cable from my computer, it plays music through the dock as expected. Suggestions? Thanks.

    Alas, not so easy. No matter what way I use to eject it from iTunes, once it stops with the "Ok to disconnect" bit, if it is still in the cradle (which it needs to be for playing), it toggles back to Connected, and the following dialog box from iTunes pops up, saying:
    "The iPod <name of iPod> cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application."
    The only application using it is iTunes. I've tried exiting iTunes quickly, no joy. [Aside to discussion forum moderators: There doesn't seem to be a way to paste in a bitmap to show the dialog. Oh well.]
    I just found a work-around, basically telling Windows at the OS level to remove the iPod qua USB device (usual way, right-click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon, choose the drive letter associated with the iPod), and that seems to do it. The battery icon is in the AC power state, so it's still on external power even though the OS doesn't see it. So maybe that's good enough. Although that's still something that iTunes ought to be doing, I would think.

    This is okay, it is thinking what to do.
    after that start to blink the battery symbol with a ray
    This is okay too, it is now charging.
    and change quickly to the battery symbol green with a plugged symbol
    Good, it is now fully charged.
    i left the ipod charged approximately for 12 hours or more but when i unplugged it appears the same battery green simbol, it wont appear like it fully charge
    The fully charged symbol is the full green symbol. After time the green symbol is still green but not full. See the link: *About the battery charge status icon* : http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60970
    i just want to know if i been doing someting wrong or if the ipod need a new battery or accesories to charge correctly, at this moment the ipod classic doesnt have any music or picture.
    I cannot see anything wrong, put some music on now and enjoy!
