Usual battery life on 160gb classic when using iTrip/dock connector mainly!

Hi folks,new to the iPOD scene! I mainly use my ipod in the car with an iTrip(no charger connected) and connected to my hifi(Stereo)with the apple dock (without the charger on so far) Just wondering if I use my ipod in this fashion should battery life be lower? Would appreciate if anyone could indicate what average life of battery should be overall. my typical use of ipod is to and from work (one hours use total per day and maybe an hour in the evening on the hifi. I assume time as well as actual use also contributes to the battery losing charge eventually(as a cell phone does)? any info on this would be appreciated...thanks

The iPod Classic 160GB is certainly not friendly with the Bose SoundDock.

I haven't seen my particular problem on any other forums yet. But this seems a bit extreme, causing such a complete meltdown on a brand new iPod.
I plugged it into my PowerBook around 3:30pm and I could hear clicks coming from the hard drive for the very first time... I am not sure whether or not to be excited because the screen is still dead black (not digital black). So this still isn't resolved, but I can give advice to new iPod Classic owners:
_NEVER CHARGE YOUR NEW iPOD CLASSIC ON THE BOSE SOUNDDOCK!_

Is my battery life the same as when I first got my ipod?

I've had my iPod for a couple months, I've noticed that the battery life seems weaker and dies out quicker now. Am I just thinking this, is my battery life the same as when i first got my iPod?

Can I tranasfer photos FROM my iPhone4s to my iMac using the dock connector?

Can I tranasfer photos FROM my iPhone4s to my iMac using the dock connector? Not WiFi or the cloud.
The manual is no help. Neither is FAQ's.
Thank you.

Yes, if you're talking about the photos in the camera roll.
Plug it in and open iPhoto. It should appear like any other digital camera.

Power Manager Setting To Preserve Battery Life When Using A Docking Station

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X220 which is about 19 months old. When at work, the computer is in a Lenovo docking station. At the end of the day, it is removed and any further evening use is typically on the battery.
Yesterday, the battery symbol in the tray at the bottom of the screen displayed a red X on it and indicated that there was an "error". I presume from this that that battery is dead and needs to be replaced. I am surprised by the comparatively short life of this battery.
I was thinking that perhaps the use of the powered docking station played some role in shortening the battery's life. For example, it may have repeatedly overcharged the battery.
Is there a Power Manager setting that will reduce the likelihood that the battery is being overcharged while in the docking station? In the future, is it feasible to simply remove the battery before inserting it into the docking station so that this won't continue to occur?
Thank you.
(I did a search of the community's knowledgebase, but didn't find anything on point.)

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that battery of your Lenovo ThinkPad X220 had undergone wear and tear and has to be replaced.
Capacity of a battery declines as the battery ages, with the number of charge cycles and time at high temperature. Under average usage patterns your battery maintains approximately 70% of its power capacity after the first year of operation.
Most laptops today use lithium Ion (Li-ion) batteries. Overcharging Li-ion batteries is not a problem and does not affect the battery life span. These batteries have an internal circuit to stop the charging process at full charge. This is why the Li-ion batteries are more expensive. The only way for the Li-ion battery to overcharge is if the charging system malfunctions, and then the battery will heat up while in the charger. Older laptops use Nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) and Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries. They require more maintenance than Lithium Ion batteries. They must be fully discharged and then fully recharged so that they don't lose battery life.
Refer this document to see the tips on how to increase the battery life.
Hope this provided enough clarity for your query!
Best regards,
Mithun.

My battery life is draining even when IPad is powered off?

I've had my iPad2 for about 15 months now, of course just out of warranty, and within the past week the battery has gone to ****. Before a charge use to last me 4-5 days with usage and on stand-by the rest of the time. Within a night it suddenly changed to that over a 8 hour stand-by cycle that the battery would lose 30-35%. I did a restore to see if that changed anything and it didn't. Went to the Genius Bar and they ran a diagnostic test on the battery and said it was still running excellently at 100% function. He suggested a few things to help preserve battery life but couldn't replicate the problem.
I went home and did a full clean sweep, getting rid of all apps and settings and shutting off my cellular data, in case that might be the issue. Then let the battery drain down until it died. I recharged it back up to 100% over a 24 hour span. Then I just left it sitting there untouched for the next 18 hours. Over that time he battery drained 60%. I again took it to the Genius Bar and they said that was normal, I disagree and understand that standby still uses battery but 60% really? They said at this point the only thing I can do is live with it and just turn my iPad off when I'm not using it or they can replace it for $250. I don't have the money so I said I'll just live with it and turn it off. That was on Tuesday. I spent Tuesday and most of Wednesday using it very little and noticed the battery was doing well. Thursday it was charged back up to a 100% and I read and used it for a few things then went to bed at 2:30, before going to bed I turned the iPad off with a battery charge of 88% and let it be.i woke up at 1030 and just turned it on and now the charge is it 62%. Since typing this it had gone down to 57%. From my understanding this is not normal at all. The Genius Bar so far doesn't know what the issue could be other than something in the software and I am out of ideas. Is there anything you can recommend? I'd really hate to spend the $250 but at this point with no usage to very little usage the battery life won't last much more than a day.
Thanks for any help you might be able to offer and sorry for the long read.

Battery Life is short and when i do charge the power supply gets to hot to touch?

Hi! I'm not sure whats Wrong with my MacBook Pro 15" - Mid 2010, i7, 4gb RAM, 512mb Graphics.
When i charge my MB it has a really short life (50 - 60 min) without using high demanding programs. I've had a look in system information and i found this; Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 4858
im not sure what it should be but does it sound like a healthy battery?
My second question, the power supply is hot to touch is this a contributing factor? I took it in to apple and they suggested to buy a new charger, so £65 later and i still have the overheating of the power supply and the short battery life problems, HELP!

That is not a good sign. Check the connection on the MBP to see if there is any foreign matter or discoloration evident.
Open System Information>Power and post this from your MBP:
(make certain that the charger is attached)
Also run an Apple Hardware Test. You may use the appropriate original install disk for this which has the AHT instructions printed on it.
Note that an error free AHT is not definitive.
Ciao.

6.1.2 battery life still awful if I use my phone

After the 6.1.2 update battery life a little better with phone on standby. But if I dare to 'use' the phone for calls or apps I still can watch the
The battery life drop. By the minute. What good is this? How is this going to be fixed?

All I can say in this Apple forum is that downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- 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

Problems viewing photos im iPod5G when using camera dock connecter

I have a 30Gb 5G Ipod.
I'm having problems with seeing my photos after importing them using the camera connector.
The import process works quite well but when try to see my photos in the Ipod, after select the correct roll#, doesn't appear the browse option and it is impossible to view the photos....Is this a common problem?

I have the same problem. No menu item come up for me to view my downloaded photos. Did you get a reply?

Click wheel problems when plugged into dock connector

I just got my 80gb yesterday. I'm having problems with the click wheel. I have an adapter that plugs into my car stereo through the dock connector and also a Bose docking station. With my old 4th Gen iPod, I could use the click wheel to scroll through the menus while it was plugged in.
With my new 80gb classic, it has trouble scrolling when plugged into the dock connector. Is anyone else having this problem?

Similar thing is happening with mine, except the other day my boyfriend dropped it into a cup of beer... it worked fine right away but then when I tried to use it again a few hours later it wouldn't turn on. When it's plugged into my speaker dock, it lights up and first just shows a gray screen with an apple but I can reset it and then it works fine, plays music, etc... but when I take it out of the dock the screen freezes up with these horizontal lines on it. I figured it must be battery related too but not sure.
Sorry this is really unhelpful, I just wanted to commiserate and see if anyone comes up with an answer for you...

Music stops playing when plugging in dock connector.

Does the Nano 6th stay turned on when on the dock connector?

Does the newest mini Nano 6th stay turned on when on the dock or connector cable?
Can it be used as a clock all night to see the time or does it "time out" and turn off?

I am confused. Time Machine is software, did you mean Time Capsule?
Turn off the Time Capsule to see what happens then.

Why in the new update 5.0.1 apple don't enable multitasking gestures on iPod touch and iPhone? More why did the battery now drains so quick when using wi-fi?

i want to be informed!

- Only Apple know why they di not enble the NT gestures. It is against the terms of this forum to speculate on such things.
- I have heard that Apple will release an update to fix the battery drain issue in a few weeks.

Why do apple ship the 160gb classic with the incorrect dock adapter in the box

I have bought the 160 classic to sit on top of my dock (music player) on the dash of my lorry, the little white peice of plastic in the box with the ipod is meant to sit in the music player resses and is supposed to be exactly the same shape as whichever ipod it came with, so that when the ipod is placed upright into the shape the hole in the bottom of the peice of plastic allows the connector to poke upwards and the ipod seats on it, with the molded plastic fitting stopping the ipod from moving around and putting any strain on the 30 pin connector, this is exactly how things are meant to work, and is why theres a peice of plastic shaped like the ipod its shipped with, SO WHY IS THE CLASSIC SHIPPED WITH A ADAPTER THATS TWICE THE SIZE OF THE IPOD AND ALLOWS THE 30 PIN CONNECTER TO TAKE ALL THE STRAIN EVERYTIME ONE SKIPS A SONG OR CHANGES VOLUME BY PRESSING THE WHEEL.
MC293 MODEL LATE 2009

Apple has discontinued the 160GB. You can buy one online still, but not from Apple. Or buy a used one off Craig's List.
P.S. Actually Apple is still selling refurbished 160GB on it's site, if you want to go that route. I also found some new ones on Amazon. Buy.com may have some too.

Date of film roll is weird when using the camera connector

I use my 60GB iPod Video also as backup disk for photos when shooting abroad. Everything works fine except one thing: althoug the date/time of camera, iPod and Mac Mini is set properly, the imported film roll shows in iPhoto always the same date/time: 2001-01-01, 00:00. The date/time of the photos is - weird enough - ok.
I can correct that manually but it seems to be a bug. Is there a workaround to fix that?

Okay I just solved the problem myself..
For anyone that may have the same issue:
The microphone used when recording video, is the little dot next to the jack on top of the iPhone 4S (maybe also iPhone 4, don't know). There was some dirt in this tiny little hole, and I simply just removed it with a very thin needle, and now it works great!

Usual battery life on 160gb classic when using iTrip/dock connector mainly!
