Serious battery problem...not your average

OK I recieved my Ipod Nano (white) christmas day...I uploaded all of my cd's onto my computer (about 90 or so) through itunes and did all the ipod install stuff. I DID charge my nano overnight until it said charged that same night and now all of a sudden when i start looking around in the menu it says this: No battery power remains. Please connect ipod to power.
I find this VERY bizarre because the battery meter is showing a full or somewhat full battery. This message can appear just randomly..right when i take it out of my AC adapter/computer..when i turn it on in the morning/night..when i start to play one song..when im done listening to 10 songs..it just happens. I believe I have a defective battery but im still not sure. I know that my weak little computer has a Low-powered USB port so thats why i bought the AC adapter for the wall outlet. I only charge it on the adapter and use the computer just to transfer songs. I have tried everything possible. Restarting..factory restore..resetting. Nothing seems to work and im getting pretty aggravated.
Can someone please help me and not direct me to another FAQ or some site here on apple because i've been to them all and tried everything ( i literally mean that).
Thanks

Very weird problem - not your average black screen

So, I finally broke down and decided to ask for help on this. I have a good amount of experience and have not been able to get this to work consistently. The laptop is admittedly pretty beat up, but it works without a hitch once it's booted. It seems like complete luck getting it to work as if it starts up when it's done frustrating me. I need it as a node for an Adhoc project and it would be great if it could work normally again.
Laptop:
Toshiba M305 w/ Turion x2 and Radeon graphics.
I don't think it makes a difference but I'm running Debian on it with an SSD. I've also replaced the original keyboard. The problem started months after these changes after the laptop took a hit off the bed (carpet). I get a black screen as soon as I turn it on after shutting it down. The screen won't turn on but I hear the DVD drive make its normal noise and the fan spins. If I'm persistent enough with a combination of below tactics or just plain luck it will start back up and work perfect.
What I've tried to no avail:
-removing the battery and the power and holding down the power to drain the capacitors
-taking out one of both memory modules (i think it does the POST because it beeps when there's no memory)
-removing the hard drive
Things I don't think it is and why:
-don't think it's the screen because when it works it lights up fine, also it has the same issue when plugged into a vga display
-don't think it's the hard drive nor the memory as it has the same problem with either off
I'm inclined to think it's a MoBo problem? But then why would it work perfectly fine when it feels like it... I would think nothing is fried. The next thing I was going to try is removing the CMOS battery to reset the BIOS settings and while it's open check for loose connectors I guess.
Any help is truly appreciated! Let me know if there's any other info I can provide. Thanks.

^ There is a mention in there of a problem with faulty switch or something, related to whether or not the machine can tell the lid is open. If it works sometimes, that plus it was jolted in a fall might say loose connection someplace.

sir since update of ios 8.1.2 i got serious battery problem on 3g 4.30 hrs my battery gets low and sometimes serious net probelms please give an update for this issue its not alone me my friends too getting many problem commonly battery problem please can this be resolved
its not related to any hardware because last year april i got replacement new phone from apple and i maintained it well...!

Probably apps running in the background are causing this, sometimes Mail get's stuck connecting to the mail server, or some social media app like Facebook can also be a reason for prolonged background activity.
Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

Serious Battery Problem: Lack of Charge and Quick Drain

I have a 15" Macbook Pro purchased late July/early August 2008, model number A1260 and has its software completely updated. I use the computer every day and, aside from the occasional cycling after getting the battery charge down to 0%, charge the computer every night.
Recently, my battery seems to be dying a LOT quicker, with the worst case of me leaving my computer to fall asleep with "Better Energy Savings" settings activated at 72% charge and coming back after about 15 minutes of cooking to find that the computer had completely died. After plugging the computer in to a power source, it took 10 minutes for the charge to change from 0% to 1% and, after reaching around 18%, I unplugged the power source and plugged it back in, triggering a change in the battery monitor that made the 18% charge reading jump up to 81%.
According to the System Profiler, my Power statistics are as follows:
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 3016
Fully charged: No
Charging: Yes
Full charge capacity (mAh): 3512
Health Information:
Cycle count: 564
Condition: Fair
Any ideas on what the problem might be or what I can do to solve it?

Cycle count: 564
That's over 2 years of charging once every day cycles that you accumulated in just a little over 1 year. Personally, I don't recommend taking the battery down to 0%; it sounds like you have been 'riding it hard'. Batteries don't last forever.
If you purchased AppleCare, you can see what Apple says; without AppleCare, there isn't much you can do but buy a new battery.
Note that: http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html says:
For Apple notebooks with removable batteries — such as previous generation MacBook and MacBook Pro computers — a properly maintained battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 300 full charge and discharge cycles.
You are well over that.

Battery problem, not charging

Well, it's a "common" problem, but the standard solutions don't seem to work. So here's the deal:
I've let my MBP open last weekend without the charger on it and when I got home of course the MBP was off because the battery was empty (obviously).
When I put the MagSafe charger on the MBP the light didn't turn orange but stayed green and when I put the MBP on the menu bar on top says Not Charging, so I started looking for solutions and I did a SMC and PRAM reset, but still the battery isn't charging and the MBP only works when it's connected to the charger and immediately turn of when I disconnect it.
The battery was fine, so I don't think it's broken... At least I hope so... But I tried all the resets I could find on the internet...
What should I do now?

It sounds as if the battery has been flattened below the point where there was sufficient charge to run its own inbuilt microprocessor , fantastik_badr.
If, you flatten these batteries beyond a certain point it is possible to have the microprocessor inside the battery "shut down" the battery to prevent too deep a discharge. At first the battery processor itself continues to operate after this event, but eventually it , too, draws enough of the remaining current to become inoperative. When this occurs you will not be able to recharge it using a normal charger, though in some cases it can be at least partially recovered with more sophisticated equipment.
You can read something about this sort of issue at http://www.buchmann.ca/Chap5-page3.asp
Take your battery to an Apple dealer or a battery specialist and see if they can "reset" it for you by giving it a boost charge.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Well obviously I would back off the performance enhancer first.
I don't have any idea of what the package does. If it is a large program residing in the device memory, and even worse if it
transmits and receives data that's going to be a big problem.
From your post it sounds like you were having normal battery life
before this. That would indicate to me that you are properly closing applications, using a media card, etc.
The only question about the battery I have, you mentioned having problems charging. Would that be the length of time it takes
to charge now? That would correlate when a contently drained battery.
Let me know your thoughts.

Hi farhan!
First, if your battery is less than one year old, get it replaced under warranty.
Next, here's something I wrote in answer to a similar question a few weeks ago:
Unfortunately batteries are more chemical than electronic. The
Lithium-ion battery technology used in most laptop batteries should last at least a
year, but can last longer. How long the battery lasts depends on its
environment, how it is used, and its age. Heat, and the number of charge/discharge cycles are big factors.The most informative description of the
technology I know of is The Battery University. There is a nice section on How to prolong lithium-based batteries.
As it points out there, "A lithium-ion battery in use typically lasts
between 2-3 years" but "If used on main power, the battery inside a
laptop will only last for 12-18 months"
My personal
experience is that my laptop batteries last 12-18 months, but then I
just use them and don't take any precautions to prolong their life. Like car batteries, you have to replace them before you replace the
car. That's just where the technology is. But we should keep pushing
for improvements!
Lastly, I've also seen the ThinkVantage Power Manager Battery Gauge Reset tip marginal batteries over the edge, but in every case, the battery had served me well, was over a year old, and well-used. My experience is that the Battery Gauge Reset certainly can give you extra run time from healthy batteries.
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

Serious battery problem ,5g 60gbHELP

The thing is i bought an ipod video 60 GB for christmas and i'm having problems with my battery ,i did the test and it only play for 13 hrs with EQ off, 50% volume level, repeat on, and this is the second time i do the test, and also seems to spend a lot of battery when i leave it turned off in the night, sometimes wake up and the battery is dead, should i call for service?.
I apreciate your comments.

When you leave the iPod off for a while, it goes into it's "Deep Sleep" mode. Just press a button and the Apple logo will appear, which means that it's "booting up", just like a normal computer.

HP Envy Battery Problems - not charging when on, charging fully when off

I've had my HP Envy laptop for about 3 months, and yesterday I noticed that when it was plugged in it wasn't charging (the battery icon says "plugged in, not charging"). I turned it off overnight, plugged in, and this morning the battery was fully charged. It only seems to not charge when it is turned on. I have tried removing the battery, turning on, deleting the ACPI-compliant control method battery, turning off, and turning back on again (as advised in other forum responses), but with no joy. At first I thought it could either be a battery issue, but the fact it fully charged overnight whilst off would lead me to believe it's not, and is probably a software / settings issue. Any ideas please, I've run out of google search ideas!!

Do you meen that this movie class is the problem for the
preloader failing I read this below!
In Flash Player 9, the Progress Bar Component may not

Not your average wifi ios 6 difficulty.

Hiya, I just updated to ios 6, now I have no internet connection.
I'm not talking just wifi - internet on a whole. If I open safari it says it cannot open as my iphone isn't connected to internet. I've restore network settings, still nothing, not even 3G. Help?
Many Thanks.

Yes, i tried all resets and restores. it has no problem connecting wifi but i can't get cellular data which means i can't use it for the main reason i have the phone, mobile banking emails etc. very frustrating. up until the upgrade, i'd never had an issue with my phone.

My iPhone 5 has serious battery problems.

One, the battery only lasts about 45 minutes - to an hour, and when it dies and I plug it in it'll take 2-3 hours to even turn on. What can I do?

Restore the phone as a new device. Do not use backup at all. You most likely have a rogue app or mail setting that's contstantly trying to access the internet.
If after a restore as NEW you still have battery issues, bring the phone (while it's still under warranty) to Apple for evaluations.

Not your average bit rate error

Hi, all-
I had a DVD project that burned just fine yesterday. It contained seven video clips and two menus for a total of about 13 minutes of video. I had a test DVD up and running, no problem.
I decided to trim things down a bit and eliminate three video files, clip thirty seconds out of another, and turn the second menu into a screen of text information only. Now I consistently get a bit rate error where before I had no problems at all.
Any thoughts? I've been editing using Quicktime Pro and saving as a self-contained file. I've had no problems until now.
I'm using 2 pass VBR, various bit rates but nothing crazy. (I was able to burn the test DVD at the highest bit rates possible, but now nothing works.) Motion estimation is set at best. Total video is around 8 minutes, maybe less.

If you have edited one of your video clips and have re-encoded the clip to MPEG-2. It is best to remove the original clip from the track in the DVDSP project and then add the newly edited version of the clip to the same track. A quick fix for your project might be forcing DVDSP to reparse all your video assets by deleting the PAR folder(s)/files associated with your video assets and then opening the project again (it may take several minutes for the new PAR files to be generated when you first open the project).
