TS3274 My ipad won't hold a charge for very long.
Just recently my ipad quit holding a charge. What used to last me all day has turned into only a couple of hours. Is there a setting or something I can change to regain the charge I once had. My I pad is only a couple of months old.
Try turning off the following:
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Push>OFF
Settings>Notifications>Mail>Gmail>Notification Center>OFF
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data>Off

my iPad 1 won't hold a charge for very long and will only fully charge when turned off while plugged in. Will a full reset fix this?
maybe but
most likely no
if you have many apps running and using data and localization at the same time yes maybe
but batteries get worse and worse and worse over time until they die a software reset will not change that -

My Apple iPad 3 is less than 6 months old - purchased in March of 2012. I believe it already needs a new battery. It will not hold a charge for very long andvs very slow in starting up a carge when I plug it in. Please advise - it is very annoying.
Take it to Apple Store. You are covered under your 1 year warranty.

Anyone having any problems with the iPhone not holding a charge for very long?
I've had my iPhone since November 2014. All of a sudden in the last couple of days the phone's charge drops like a brick and by the end of the day it drops down below 20%. Up to now at the end of the day it had 60%+ of battery life left. I haven't changed anything to the phone. I tried an app and deleted it after I found it to be useless to me.
I had to turn on the location feature but turned it off as soon as I deleted the app that I removed.
Anyone have any ideas or has anyone run into this.
RFAThe phone goes on the charger at night every night and is at 100% when I am up. The only thing that I use it for is calls e-mail and an occasional Text. I don't; use for music or movies or anything like that. I do play solitaire on it but that hasn't been a problem up to now. I went in and googled the iPhone 6 for power save settings and it gave me a way to look at the Activity.
The only thing that was used that day was Solitaire. I turned off Cell access to Solitaire and it seemed to last a little longer. I just turned it back on to see what happens.

My iPad won't hold a charge ---any ideas?
My iPad won't hold a charge. It even loses battery while it is on the charge. Any ideas???
Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A." The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC. Do NOT use an iPhone charger. Do NOT use an iPod charger. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge. -
my macbook pro won't hold a charge for more than a day...do I need a new battery? I have a 13" early 2011 model.
A: did you leave most of the time or always plugged in?
B: did you often drain the battery very low?
If so, then thats the issue
From Apple on batteries:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1446
http://www.apple.com/batteries/
Storing your MacBook
If you are going to store your MacBook away for an extended period of time, keep it in a cool location (room temperature roughly 22° C or about 72° F). Make certain you have at least a 50% charge on the internal battery of your Macbook if you plan on storing it away for a few months; recharge your battery to 50% or so every six months roughly if being stored away. If you live in a humid environment, keep your Macbook stored in its zippered case to prevent infiltration of humidity on the internals of your Macbook which could lead to corrosion.
Considerations:
Your battery is subject to chemical aging even if not in use. A Lithium battery is aging as soon as its made, regardless.
In a perfect (although impractical) situation, your lithium battery is best idealized swinging back and forth between 20 and 85% SOC (state of charge) roughly.
Further still how you discharge the battery is far more important than how it is either charged or stored short term, and more important long term that cycle counts.
Ultimately counting charge cycles is of little importance. Abuse in discharging (foremost), charging, and storing the battery and how it affects battery chemistry is important and not the ‘odometer’ reading, or cycle counts on the battery.
Everything boils down to battery chemistry long term, and not an arbitrary number, or cycle count.
Keep your macbook plugged in when near a socket since in the near end of long-term life, this is beneficial to the battery.

Hello there, Jean-Marc Peladeau.
The following Knowledge Base article gives a few pointers for troubleshooting your battery issue:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Specifically:
Battery life seems short
Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.
Note: Charging with a FireWire-based power source is not supported, except on original iPhone.
Additionally, in regards to your question about backing up your device, feel free to review the following:

What is usual life of battery, what do I need to do to rapidly get my phone back in service, most importantly, what do I need to do to preserve all of the information on my phone, or how do I do a miror image of the phone's stocked info.

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.
