TS1382 battery for ipod classic no longer holding a charge for long

I have a 3 year old Ipod Classic (120GB) that does not appear to hold a charge for very long now!
Is this just the battery running down and needing replacement?

Yes.  Have it replaced by either Apple or a third party repair company. Batteries lose their ability to maintain capacity over time and die.

  • Recently, my Ipod classic no longer plays grouped consecutive podcasts continuously.

    recently, (I believe the since most recent update) my ipod classic no longer plays grouped consecutive podcasts continuously. In the past it work quite effectively.
    I checked the shuffle switches, and they were all turned off. 
    None of the threads that seem to address this issue effectively.
    Don't have this problems with my iPhone 4GS.
    Does anybody know what gives?  Not real keen on Updating Software when options and features removed.

    Did a restore without any media being put on, here are the stats, and the increase from the original posted:
    Retracts: 1                         (+0)
    Reallocs: 280                     (+64)
    Pending Sectors: 480         (+48)
    PowerOn Hours: 198          (+1)
    Start/Stops: 24856             (+50)
    Temp: Current 33c             (+6)
    Temp: Min 14c                   (+0)
    Temp: Max 54c                  (+0)
    Although the hours, and temps don't matter much I included them anyway. Here are the stats after another restore, and all the media being added (increase from original, not last restore):
    Retracts: 1                         (+0)
    Reallocs: 400                     (+184)
    Pending Sectors: 48           (-384)
    PowerOn Hours: 198          (+0)
    Start/Stops: 24861             (+55)
    Temp: Current 36c             (+9)
    Temp: Min 14c                   (+0)
    Temp: Max 54c                   (+0)
    The pending sectors went drastically down, which is awesome, lot less songs are skipping.. Except the reallocs went significantly up as well, I assume that would be due to the remaps of the pending sectors? And should I try more restores to see if that would help try to fix the problem, assuming it would be fixing desk/memory errors?

  • The 'Shuffle' function on my iPod Classic not longer works on my iPod or in my vehicle.  It worked prior to syncing in iTunes using my Macbook.  Now I can only play music sequentially.  Can anyone assist?

  • IPod Touch does not hold a charge

    I had a 3rd generation iPod Touch that would hold a charge for a long time until suddenly (just before the warranty ran out) it would no longer hold the charge.  I could fully charge it and leave it sit unused for about 3 days and it would be dead.  After much tech support from Apple (we tried restoring original settings, removing all apps, etc., etc., etc.), they sent me a replacement.  The replacement has had the same issue since day 1.  I have now been experimenting with other settings and it seemed to hold the charge a little better when the wifi was turned off, but I always used to leave the wifi on and it didn't drain the battery at all.  What is going on??

    The recent iOSs for iPods allow the iPod to do more when the iPod is asleep.  I just leave my Ipod in airplane mode when I am not using it.  My 4G go excellent batter life with the original iOS (4.1 I think).  I could just let it sleep with wifi one.  However, wtih the resent iOSs, the batteyr would almost completly drain overnight.

  • MY new Ipod Nano does not hold a charge.  I use it mostly as a watch, perhaps look at it 5 or 6 times in 8 hours, and leave it in sleep mode the rest of the time.  I drains to the red line in less than 2 days.  My husband's nano will last a week this way.

    You are still under warranty if your iPod is "new."  Take full advantage of it by either calling iPod tech support, Apple Care if you have it or take it in to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

    my ipod touch won't hold a charge and gets really hot when im using it. what is going on?

    Likely that the battery is dead.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm. Apple will replace the battery for this price:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    There are third-party places which may be less expensive.  Here is one. Google for more.

    Apple will exchange the iPod for $79

  • My iPod Classic continues to display the charging icon when its disconnected from the mains supply or computer.

    It drains battery very quickly. What could be wrong with it?

    Hi m4ttsmith,
    If your iPod Classic is still showing the charging icon and appears to be draining the battery, you may want to got through the iPod Classic Troubleshooting Assistant:

  • Ipod classic won't hold charge

    My apple ipod classic which is just a yr or two old won't hold a charge.  The battery icon has a lightning bolt in it so it says its charging but it won't hold a charge.  Any ideas?

    It sounds your iPod's battery is shot and in need of replacement.  You can have Apple service it at a flat rate or you can find a third party repair site who can do it for much less.

  • Help! iPod Classic stuck in hold switch mode!

    Hi,
    I got a new iPod Classic 80 GB this past week. It works great, except today its stuck in the hold switch mode (shows the lock in the upper left corner), even when the hold switch is not toggled. I've tried restoring the ipod, but nothing works. How can i fix this?

    hold switch is for locking keys. it is there for 2 reasons. One, to prevent you accidentally cranking volume or anything while listening. Second, it cuts off power flowing from battery to touch pad. This saves battery power.

  • Ipod Classic No Longer Synchs after Itunes Moved to New Computer

    I successfully restored my itunes from old computer to external hard drive to new computer.  Then I tried to sync iPod Classic 80 GB, but was told I couldn't synch it to new computer.  So I restored Ipod to factory settings and tried synching again.  It put on just a handful of songs I never heard of.  Meanwhile my 10,000 or so songs iin iTunes on my computer did not make it to my iPod.  How to get the itunes over to my now freshly restored iPod?

    Please be patient, sync issues are time consuming, if you are lucky, just a Hard Rest and Restore will solved it.
    Ok Software Version 1.1.2.
    So you can see all your 10,000 songs, in the new PC iTunes, and do you have any problem syncing the iPod using iTunes 10.5.3.3 on the old computer?
    Can you do a Hard Reset  as below
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    On your iTunes please reset alert warnings, so that we can see the errors.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2527?viewlocale=en_US
    We need to see what problems iTunes is having
    Then connect your iPod to the new PC and sync again.
    Have a nice day!
