What can i do about my quickly dying ipod and what is the problem?

I bought my ipod touch 4th gen 32gb about 10 months ago in 2011 on December, after about 6 months since i bought it the battery started to last for shorter times. Now ( after 10 months today is 20th of september 2012) it really doesnt last for very long at all. After i fully charge it and play a game and do other stuff aswell it sometimes only lasts for 1 and a half to 2 hours only. It also charges very quickly now. I use both my laptop and the belkin ipod charger to charge it i use the cable that came with the ipod and sometimes use it with a usb extender. I also sometimes use the ipod while it is charging. I also sometimes take it out of charging before it is finished but i don't do this very much because i heard it was bad for the battery.
My question is what can i do about this problem and what might apple be able to do. i want to know how to increase the battery life. And i also want to know is there something i am doing wrong during my charging process or something. I don't to do any of that stuff like taking the back of the ipod off or jailbreaking it, i don't want to stuff the ipod up and i want to keep it like a real ipod. Please help i really want to keep my ipod in good condition so please help if you can
Thank you

Hello!
     So my iPod Touch battery is like this too..except worse.  I can't take mine off the charger considering it will die in less than a minute. I recently posted a question like this too so if I get any feedback, i'll let u know.  Stay in there & dont charge it unless it's COMPLETELY dead (not to were it turns off, but to were it's telling you "20% Battery Remaining), and don't take it off the charger unless it's COMPLETELY charged. Hope I helped a little, and i'll get back to you if I find anything else. Sorry to hear about this! #IKnowHowYouFeel #DumbBatteries

  • How can you take our money for gifts cards and not fix the problems or offer support AFTER it's paid for?

    I am EXTREAMLY annoyed after a 3 hour run around in trying to use my gift card! I promised some apps to my little kids and mommy is busy trying to figure out why it shows a $25 credit but also says my credit card security code is wrong. It's CORRECT and my credit card shouldn't even be used!! I have been raving about IPAD to my friends and told them the apps were great learning tools for their kids. I even shared mine with my child care provider and she was thinking about getting one for her daycare.... Then showing parents who may like it. I WILL be sharing the lack of support for your gift cards! Perhaps I will just go back to the other learning games for my kids and buy games I can count on. We have Lots of Leap Frog and others and not once have I found such a run around!

    Did you try logging into your iTunes account on your computer rather than on the iPad? It may not make any difference but you don't know until you try.
    One other thought - why dont you restart your iPad and see if that helps. Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut down. hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears to power up. Let the iPad fully restart and see if you can go into your account in settings and remove the credit cards - see if None shows up in the settings.
    I restarted my iPad yesterday when I was having iTunes store issues and the issues cleared up. It may have been purely coincidental but its worth a try.

  • What can be done about my lack of coverage and service?

    I am well inside 4g coverage area and have been in the same house for over 5 years now. In that time our coverage has gone from 3 bars down to 1 bar within the last year and a half or so, and starting a couple days ago our phones think we are in roaming??
    Minorly off topic is we have been lied to repeatedly at the local sales store and or corporate more than once, the largest pain being the fiasco in "renewing" my military discount I am eligible for by being a disabled vet. had it for years then we get a mail saying it needs to be renewed, go in to local store and they do the paper work, corp says they didnt get it we have to jump through a bunch more hoops its finally reinstated.
    So is this crappy service and lack of coverage tho map shows us more than covered just part of what we pay over a hundred bucks a month for? No way to complain to anyone but to other people with problems? Canceling our account will be a big hurt financially up front but be a little easier on our pocketbook in the long run. (we would have to do local land line phone service which is almost as much and with no features at that, so not much easier)
    Is there some way out of this as they are no longer providing the service they did when we signed up? thi site is a mess and impossible to find actual help for anything, they will sell me more stuff and give me a person even if i want to buy something. an issue tho? fergetaboutit, go cry on a forum.
    Basicaly now that my crying is done, does anyone see any options that I am not? thank you for your time.
    also, this says im my wife .) im not, this is Jeff. thats another area where even "my verizon" page is a mess. we both on the account but each spot canonly have one person I guess. the billing is in her name (she keeps track of the bills) the phone account is in my name so we can get my discount etc etc

    We have been with them for years, would love for them to care. but I have seen the dwindling support and the removing of power from those who use to be able to help over those years. I challenge any verizon employee to be seen even. I cant even find an e mail address or any other way to contact verizon other than to buy more from them. This is their "provided customer service" so thought I would use it as a last effort as I know of nothing else to do. I was hoping someone out there had some luck somehow and could give some advice or one of those employees I have seen on here rarely in the past might be able to help or something.
    I basically came here  assuming I was going to just have to cancel our account as the early cancel fees would be cheaper than continuing to pay for nothing till contracts up. buying their booster the store tried to sell us would probably solve the problem and may be cheaper in the long run but I am also tired of the "give us money while we do less" crap going on with this company. 5 years ago we had fine enough service in my house, we have watched it fade over the years (even tho they say they are putting up better faster service in the area) until we had to go outside to keep our calls connected to now, we are put in roaming while at home. I shouldnt have to keep paying more to keep my service I originaly paid for in my opinion.
    I thank you for any help you can find and your continued responses on this thread. But this is also not your responsibility. I am thankfull for anything you can find tho. I am also doing my research into who all I can complain to, not that that will help either, but it might keep one more person from them and much like here it is probably only good for venting. nothing will come of it, but it least it wont stay pent up inside.

  • How can i sync different materials into my iPod and iPad on the same computer?

    i don't want iTunes to sync all the apps from my iPod to my iPad, what can i do?

    When the devices are attached to your computer's iTunes just select the apps that you want to have on each device on their apps tab. I manually manage the content on my iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch so only the content that I select gets installed onto each device.
    You can also set up separate playlists for the two devices for music, or create separate iTunes libraries : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495

  • Hey what does it mean when i charge my ipod and its on the battery screen and it turns to the apple screen then it turns off and it just keeps repeatedly doing it

    it doesnt seem to wanna charge i just got it its an 8 gb black ipod with the camera on both sides

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Check the Audio settings in Captivate.  You may need to increase the gain value.
    Is this a USB microphone?

  • TS4062 I'm stuck on "waiting for items to copy" when I try to sync my laptop and iPod touch. What can I do about this?

    I'm stuck on "waiting for items to copy" when I try to sync my laptop and iPod touch. It was fine until the latest update. It's very frustrating. What can I do about this?

    Hi maasailand giraffe,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    First of all, thanks for the detailed notes of the troubleshooting steps you've already tried.  It's hard to pinpoint exactly what is going on in your specific case, but I do have a few more ideas for you to try.
    Starting with just one of your iPads, when you get stuck on the "waiting for items to copy" step, just disconnect your iPhone.  There are probably some orphaned or corrupt files that need to be addressed.  I would suggest closing all of your open apps and then backing your iPad up to iCloud.  Then review the articles below to move or delete any big files on your device.  These can include Voice Memos (iPhone), music, photos on your camera roll, photos or videos that are attached to your Messages, email attachments, etc.

  • Why is my contact list now full of duplicates (and quadruplicates) and what can I do about it?

    Why is my contact list now full of duplicates (and quadruplicates) and what can I do about it?
    Most (but not all) of the entries are duplicated, and some are re-doubled. I suspect this is related to using my iPhone (5S) and my iPad (2nd gen), both using IOS7 and icloud.
    I really don't want to have to delete hundreds of contacts manually, and I'm concedrned they'd just reapear if I did.

  • What can I do about my battery life?

    Ok so I know that my iphone is really old. I bought it in 2009 and it has been a really good phone until about 6 months ago when the battery life went downhill. My phone will not hold a charge for more than 5 min. I will let it charge for a few hours and the battery will be full but when I take it off the charger, it takes 5 min for the phone to die. What can I do about this? I've tried restoring it to factory settings and that hasn't worked.

    The battery is shot.Lithium batterys have a limited number of recharge cycles. Yours is shot.You would have to have it replaced.I personally don't think it would be worth the cost to replace it on a 3g,especially since you can get the 3gs for free with a new contract.

  • TS1702 I'm getting an " application" cannot be downloaded at this time message. With any app I try to download/update. Why is this happening and what can I do about it ?

    I'm getting an " application" cannot be downloaded at this time message. With any app I try to download/update. Why is this happening and what can I do about it ?

    I am fighting the same error. I gifted an album to mydaughter and she got that when she tried to cash it in. iTunes support was quick to respond saying the would refund in 5 to 7 days. That was 13 days ago and they will not respond now. Try to contact support to see if they can help. Also be sure you do not have restrictions enabled in settings. If your parental controls are set to block certian content ratings this will give you an error as well.
      You could also try to purchacs through the iTunes program on Mac or PC. Check your restrictions there too. If your device is company owned your employers may have restrictions enabled preventing certian apps from being installed. Hope that helps.

  • After I download some games ,The other applications cannot open.what can I do about it?

    After I download some games free ,my ipod touch can not work ,even cannot open some programs .When I touch the screen ,it flash some seconds and come back to the main interface .what can I do about it ?
    such asQQ. Wedingand.etc.can't be opend .
    Thank you for help.

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
    There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.
