PLEASE HELP--Battery drain

I have a 15 GB Ipod. I charge it over night and sometimes longer. It says it is fully charged, and it plays for about 45 minutes- 1 hour. After that it says that it has no more battery. Please help, I have no idea what to do.

If you have a 15GB, then I presume you have a 3rd generation iPod, with the 4 red-backlit buttons above a scroll wheel?
If you're still using the stock battery in it, you'll need a new battery. Batteries should be replaced every 12-18 months, depending on usage. Your iPod is probably 4 or so years old, so it is definately overdue.
You can find a new battery at http://ipodjuice.com
You can also find batteries on eBay

Please help - Battery not recognized, after totally drained

Dear all, need some advice on how solving this issue. My macbook just had its battery totally drained and now it is not recognized by it.
I have tried all "tips" from the FAQ, but none of them worked out
It seems this is a "common" issue as apple guys are listing as top 3 in the FAQs...
Need help as I am travelling outside US on a project and will be dead without baterries.
For those who cannot help, find my tip: DO NOT LET YOUR MACBOOK BATTERY FULLY DRAIN!
Thanks

Macbooks have worldwide warranties - so maybe if you have your warranty card with you - and perhaps even if you don't - you can go into an Apple shop and get it replaced - go to the genius bar and give 'em a big smile...

Please Help - Battery Problem

I've had my ipod nano for...I'm guessing a little less than half a year. I listen to my ipod every day, all the time. My battery lasts about an average of like, maybe...only 3 hours. And it should last A LOT more than that. Sooo, what can I do???

I just got my apple iphone 5s and the battery drains after a hour or so wether im on the phone or not how can i change this

please help battery draining sofast I just got the phone month ago

If you have Bluetooth turned on, turn it off. If I forget and leave Bluetooth on, it drains my battery about twice as fast as when it is off.
Turn off Background App Refresh in Settings>General
Turn off any location services that you do not need on under Settings>Privacy>Location Services (I have Location Services turned on, but in the Apps list below the button, I have very few turned on - Compass, Maps, Google Earth, Google Maps, Siri, Starbucks, and Weather).
Cheers,

Yosemite is draining my battery. Please help.

Hi! Look like parallels is draining my battery each time it gets connected. The battery drain only started 1 month after I upgraded to Yosemite.
Can anyone help please? Would using Boot Camp resolve this problem? Do I need to reload win 8 after setting up Boot Camp?
Thanks in advance.

The title of this topic is wrong. Parallels/Windows is draining your battery. Perhaps the Parallels forums are the best place to look for a solution. E.g.:

Watch 3 minutes of any youtube video, phone reboot and drained my battery??? Please help....

Watch 3 minutes of any youtube video, phone reboot by itself and drained my battery full life??? Please help....
I have removed all applications, that still did not fix it. Then I did a clean swipe and that still did not fix that problem.

Good morning Palam001,
I spend hours a day watching Youtube videos on my phone! It is one of my favorite pastimes! FYI, I don't do it at work though, just in case my boss is reading this! May I ask what device are you watching the Youtube videos on? Is it the blackberry curve that you have stated in your profile? Also, are you watching the videos directly from the website or from an app that was downloaded from blackberry app world?
There are a couple of options for you to try to get this issue resolved. If you are using a Youtube app or 3rd party app to watch the videos then I would recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the app onto the device. If it's a 3rd party app then I recommend contacting the developer for additional assistance or to report the error, at the very least.
Another option is to perform software update/refresh on your blackberry. This can be done from a computer using the blackberry desktop manager. The process takes about 20-30 minutes if you already have the desktop manager installed. If you do not have the desktop manager installed then you can visit the link below to download it from blackberry's website.
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
From the link above, you can download the desktop manager for either PC or Mac. Once you have completed the software refresh, please retry the Youtube videos to see if the performance have improved. If not then please reply to this message for additional options to explore.
Thank you...

NEW iPhone 5 battery drain, DONE EVERYTHING! help please

i got a new iphone 5 recently and the battery is horrible, its hot to the touch and ill sleep with 100%, wake up to 75, go to school at 7am, and by 4pm (with limited use because im at school) i will have 6% of battery.
Apple was NO HELP and "checked my phone" and said everything was fine, its an iphone it uses a lot of stuff all this BS
i have:
deleted my email (i have NO email right now on the mail app)
resetted all settings
restored as a NEW PHONE
drained the batt down to 0 then back up
set push off, and fetch manually
turned off skype
only apps in my notification center are calls/messages/kik
turned bluetooth of
(i DO NOT have LTE because i live in australia and it is called 3G, and i cant turn 3G off because its a part of my plan and i use it minimally when im out and about)
im seriously losing so much hope ive been wanting this iphone for ages and THIS *****.
a few of my frineds have this problem too but some say their battery is better than ever
my iPod touch gen 4 even lasts longer, and i need my phone.
Please help, dont tell me to retry any of the above because i have about a million times for all of them

There was a bug in iOS 6 that introduced a bug with Exchange calendars that was plugged with 6.0.1. 6.1 introduced a new problem with calendar invitations, i.e. if you refused a calendar invitation for something like lunch every third Thursday, or the invitee withdrew it, then it throws it into a calendar loop where the server and your iPhone are contantly talking to each other. This will rapidly drain your battery, heat up your iPhone and, if you have enough iPhone users affected, impact the Exchange server. Try disconnecting from the Exchange calendar, or delete your Exchange account and reenter it without activating the calendar, and see what happens to your battery.
Apple is aware of this issue and working on an update.

Ios7.0.6 Iphone5 battery drain please help

Ever since I updated to ios7, i have noticed a MONSTROUS decline in battery life. I was weary to update in the first place and waited almost 2 months before I did. Regrettably, i gave in. Battery life declined almost 75%.. I turned off every single power hungry feature, even LTE. Nothing helped. After further research, I tried to restore as a new phone.. Nothing. Restore from backup, nothing. I have taken every single measure to reduce the battery drain to NO AVAIL. So about a month ago i called apple, being out of warranty for about 4 months, they ran a test on the battery and found it was at 91% which i was told was pretty good for a 14-15 month old phone. They offered battery replacement for 100$ or so and said "it may not even fix the problem". The other solution was to buy a new iphone. UNACCEPTABLE!! They offer no help, and even hinted that the software is the problem. And then told me it may also be another hardware problem(being the owner, i know for a FACT it is a software problem caused by ios7, as the battery life was great before the update and terrible immediately after). And basically told me i was S.O.L. My question is this, has anyone found ANY possible way to fix this issue short of downgrading(if even possible)? Please refrain from the basic and known ways, as I have tried them all many times.. Im looking for a REAL solution to the problem. And if this issue is not remedied or fixed by apple soon, they may lose ANOTHER customer to android. I have had iphones since my 3g and this is by far the most irritating problem i have encountered. Please someone help! Im not ready to get a new 800$ phone in less than 2 years! And i know for a fact battery replacement will barely help if at all.

Try:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How long does a full charge last when playing video? That is the test, not % battery

I recently performed a upgrade from 7.0.5 to 7.0.6 and I found that my phone battery drain up very fast and the battery unable charge to 100. Besides, the battery live is going down when I charging with 3G on.Any solution for my issue? Please help.

Hi, I had my iPhone 4S and I'm recently upgraded it from 7.0.5 to 7.0.6 and I found the battery drain up very fast if compare to iOS 7.0.5. Besides, I also unable to fully charger my phone to 100% now - max is 85% with phone either in airplane mode or switch off totally
May seek help from your advise on above case.
Thank you
Best regards,

Try killing the battery (Let it drain---turning on all the settings, playing a video, and having the brightness up kills it faster), then let it fully charge from there. Let me know if that works.

IPad battery draining quickly - tried everything, please help!?

Ive noticed recently that my iPad battery is rapidly draining. I've even noticed a 20% decrease just overnight while locked, which has NEVER happened. I've googled and research and tried everything possible. So does anyone have some options I might be missing?
Using 7.1.2, iPad 2.

Try this first - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Zen 2GB Battery Issue - Please help!

$? I bought two Creative Zen 2GB as their battery life is up to 30 hours. I have a Microsoft Zune and it gets the 4 hours listed but both of the Zen's only get 0- hours per full charge. I fully charge, then run the recovery tool and run disk clean up, format, new firmware. I then add all mp3's at 28 bitrate, EQ off, bass off and keep the volume on 3. In the setup I the brightness down as far as it will go at 0%, I think you should be able to set it to 0%. But what am I missing to only get 0-2 hour max on these two new units? I recently read about Idle shutdown, but yesterday I charged the Zen 8 hours to be sure, then with all the optimal settings I cut it on at 0pm and let it run througout the night and at 9am it had very little charge left...please help with any ideas/suggestions as I just get links from Creative tech telling me things I am already doing.

Excellent, thanks for the replies and I read about the lock function online but it said for 4GB and up I think, but not 2GB. I thought, even with the screen at the lowest, 0% that it was too much lcd and a battery drainer...thanks!
Yes, I have the 2G ZEN player and it does have the "lock function" (often on the Creative's web site they neglect to mention the 2G) - I "lock it" every time I listen to my audio books. By using this function it "closes" (blackens) ?the LCD screen and saves the battery considerably.
When I first bought this player it was the first time I had an internal battery, all the other ones I had used -AAA battery. I was hesitant about using the type of battery in the ZEN player but I can listen ALL day and ALL night and still have battery life left. Then I recharge the battery in the wee hours of the morning, ready to listen to more books and music that day.
Just some thoughts,
