Recharge iPod nano 3G after each use, or wait until flat before recharging?

In order to optimise both the capacity of an iPod nano 3G battery (how long it lasts between charges) and its longevity (how long it will last before it has to be replaced) should the battery be charged up to full after every significant period of use (typically 2 hours playback in my case) or should charging not happen until the battery is flat or almost flat?
Also, does anyone have any thoughts on my other iPod nano 3G question, which is at:

HT1495 I use method 3 to sync my iPad to my desktop which is used to sync my iPod nano. After I done all the steps,how will I sync the separate library to my iPad? I don't see any sync option and don't even see my iPad on the device.

My iPad is registered in a different account.im having difficulty installing iTunes on my laptop so when I read that multiple iPod,iPad etc can be sync in one computer,I tried making a separate library on my desktop which have an iTunes already.i used my desktop for my iPod nano. After following the instructions, I don't know how to sync it with my iPad now connected on my desktop.i can't see a button or option to sync. And I don't even see my iPad recognize on the device.pls tell me what am I missing. I already sign in so my desktop will be authorize.

All devices only sync what you select to sync.
If you do not want all of the music, then simply do not select all of the music to sync.

Hello all,
I have a 14.88G iPod Nano that I currently use as my primary watch. A week or so ago I started to experience a blank white screen when I press the "sleep/wake" button instead of the watch face (I have it set to wake from sleep to display the clock). When I hard reset it, it will come back fine and the screen will respond and work as normal, as soon as I manually put it to sleep by pressing the "sleep/wake" button and then try to wake it the same thing happens and I have a blank white screen that doesn't respond to touch gestures or anything.
What I have tried so far to no avail:
Numerous hard restarts (holding the "sleep/wake" button with the volume - button).
Tried this: iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
Changed the watch face to display.
Recharged the device overnight (without full discharge).
Since none of this works I'm out of ideas. Eventhough I have a 6G Nano it should no longer be under warranty since I was sent it as a replacement for a different (older) product.
Any ideas? Is this a known problem? Thanks in advance for any insight any of you could provide. Also, what time is it??
Regards,

Hey,
I have the exact same problem as you have described. I also used my ipod as a watch but starting from today, whenever I unlock it the screen turns white until a reset is done. Even a factory reset through itunes didn't fix it.
Have you found any solution?
Bah, this is annoying.

Wipe ipad after each use (like invited account)

How wipe ipad data after each use (like invited account on MacOs)?

Sorry, but assuming you mean that you want it to wipe automatically, that's not a feature of iOS (except the data wipe that can happen as a security feature after multiple incorrect passcode attempts). If you want to wipe an iPad, you have to do it manually.

Do I need to power off my iPad after each use?

I bought a new iPad. The problem is after each use I have to power off in Order to connect to internet. Is there something in settings I need to do in Order not to have to shut my iPAd off so often

That shouldn't happen. I almost never turn my iPad off unless I do so for troubleshooting purposes. There is nothing in the settings that you should have to "fix" either as long as WiFi is always turned on.
Try resetting your iPad and see if that helps.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I just bought my kids Ipod Nanos - can we all use the same Itunes or do I have to load I-tunes for each Nano?

If you have multiple I-pods/Nano's does each one need their own Itunes icon? How do you handle I tunes with multiple products? I tries opening my current itunes and plugging in my kid's Nano. Itunes just says "doesn't recognize" and instructs me to unplug.
Please advise

It does not. See here for different ways to manage multiple iPods.
How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
So iTunes is telling you unrecognized device or Windows telling you this? You may need to uninstall and re-install the Nano's drivers.

Ipod nano 7 resets while using nike after updating to 1.0.3 PC

I've just updated my Ipod nano 7 to version 1.0.3 PC. After this it has been blocked twice when i was using Nike + app without nike + sport kit , and more the 30 minutes of exercise.
First time i had to force a reboot by pressing both buttons, second time it rebooted itself, but the record of the training was not recorded.
Problems start just after updating, i've never had such problem with this device. i've used in more then 100 runs.
I've just restored to factory, but still version 1.0.3. Can you give me some advice? can i downgrade this device toa previous version.
Thank you in advance.

One way to replace the glass is by doing it yourself. Here is a link on how to do it. Replacement screens should not be that expensive in the first place. If you would like Apple to replace it and you Do Not have a warranty then use this link to find out repair pricing and other information. If this helped you please leave a good review. Thanks

How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

My videos I took using my ipod nano disappeared after syncing.

I had 5 videos on my ipod nano that I took yesterday. When I hooked my ipod up to my computer (Toshiba) the ipod did the sync thing. The videos disappeared off my ipod. I have no idea where they went because I cannot find them on my computer or on my itunes. Can some please help me?

Hello ctay122,
Have you checked your iPod to see if they are still there? Videos you take on the iPod are not automatically copied to iTunes. They need to be manually copied to your computer through Windows explorer. See this article for more help and instructions.

Ipod stops playing after each podcast

When I play music, each song plays one after the other like you expect. When I play my podcasts after each one the ipod stops and goes back to menu screen. How do I get it to play the podcasts one after the other like songs? Is this a setup item I missed? Thanks for any help.

The iPod does not use folders like you do in Windows or Mac OS. They are invisible to the user.
You are not explaining yourself very well or you have never used an iPod.
I don't understand how using folders will make it easier than it already is.
If everything is in folders and you do not use playlists, then you have to move everything around into folders to listen to specific music.
I never said playlists were cumbersome but they are sometimes ineffective. Some times you don't want a certain rating or a certain grouping but maybe you just want to listen to one album in order or one podcast.
So select that album or that one podcast and press play.
It's much easier to find that podcast or album by name then it is to scroll through thousands of entries to find the starting title of the group.
Why don't you do it this way now?
I go to
Music -> Albums -> pick one and play
Music -> Podcasts -> pick one and play
That's what the problem was last week I would go to artists choose the artist then the album and then it would play one song and skip to the top menu.
That seems to have been a glitch.
I go to Music -> Artist -> Album and press play. It plays the entire album with all the songs in album in order.
It did it for every album and every song I chose every day of the trip a couple weeks ago and yes they all have there check boxes selected in iTunes.
The check box is used only if you want to use Update only checked songs in iTunes prefs -> iPod. Once the songs are on the iPod, this option has nothing to do with th eiPod.

Ipod Nano stalling after adding song to On-The-Go Playlist

I'm using a 2GB Ipod Nano and I just bought it less than a month ago. Ive noticed that the Ipod stalls or lags for 3 seconds whenever I do this procedure:
1:Play a song.
2: Go back to the previous menu and add a song to the On-The-Go Playlist
3: Scroll or do something else
The Nano lags for 3 seconds after I add the song to the playlist. Thinking that it is a hardware problem, I went to the Apple Service Centre and exchange for a new Ipod. The problem persists. Ive noticed that this problem is non-existent in 4GB Ipod Nano models. Is this a technical glitch? Does it happen to all 2GB ipods? Can anyone help me out please?

not on mine-i dont think but go to brokenipods.com

IPod Nano Battery Life when using Nike+

I saw this on the support site:
How much does using the Nike + iPod system affect my iPod nano battery playback time? The receiver draws very little power from the iPod nano. The overall impact on the iPod nano battery playback time is less than 5 percent.
However, I've owned my Nike+ kit for a couple of weeks now and I went from fully charged to almost empty on my battery after only 3 1-hour exercise sessions! That seems pretty insane given how much battery life the 2G nano is supposed to have. Any thoughts?
iPod Nano (2G) with Nike+ kit Other OS

Are you leaving the backlight on during your workouts? If so, that's probably the culprit.
Also, do you get "normal" battery life (12-20 hours of playback, depending on EQ settings, backlight, etc.) when you're using your nano simply to play music (and not using the Nike kit)?
