When the battery dies.
Just curious. When the ipod battery eventually dies, is it still possible for the ipod to work if it is connected to a speaker dock? I have three speaker docks in my home(Klipsch Igroove, Logitech Pure-Fi Elite and an iluv boom box)and I'm just curious. I bought my 30GB 5.5 ipod video in Sept. '06 and the battery is still great, I'm just wondering. Does anybody know the answer?
Thanks,
Reggie
the batteries last about two and a half years. it might work, i know that you cant sync or anything without a charge on your ipod because your computer wont recoginize it with out a decent charge. but i bet it would play if you were running it of a speaker dock.

I have the latest ipod nano (7th gen, 16gb) and I use it mostly on bluetooth. When the battery dies during use with the Bluetooth it doesn't take a charge, the battery doesn't turn on and of course the computer doesn't even acknowledge that it's plugged in. This is my second nano in just over a month, the same thing happen with the first one. I just want to know if their is a way to fix this so I don't have to keep sending it in? Or maybe pay the difference to upgrade to a touch?
If the battery has been completely depleted on the Nano (not really a good idea) then it is going to take 15 to 30 minutes before your computer can see it. Same thing will happen with an iPod Touch.

MBP will completely reset itself when the battery dies
My MBP will completely reset itself (date, time, internet passwords, network passwords, etc..) when the battery dies. So i assume the reset is due to the lack of holding a battery charge.
Here are the stats:
Model Information:
Manufacturer: SMP
Device name: bq20z451
Pack Lot Code: 0
PCB Lot Code: 0
Firmware Version: 3
Hardware Revision: 2
Cell Revision: 100
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 155
Fully charged: No
Charging: Yes
Full charge capacity (mAh): 3240
Health Information:
Cycle count: 869
Condition: Check Battery
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): 1608
Voltage (mV): 11865
<Re-Titled By Host>The symptom you describe usually occurs when the battery is disconnected. Since your Battery Hardware display indicates that your battery condition is 'Check Battery", that probably is the culprit. I would think that a new battery should solve the issue. Bring you MBP to an Apple store genius bar.

Macbook resetting itself when the battery dies.
Hi all I am really hoping someone can shed some light on what’s happening to my Looney MacBook.
About two days ago I forgot to put it on charge when the battery was on 3% and it shut down, so I turned it back on when I had connected it to the power like normal and expected all to be okay. The computer had completely reset itself, time, date, Internet passwords, background everything. I put everything back to how it should and tried to connect to Facebook. The webpage was just the raw webpage, without its style sheet (is the only way I can describe it). So I was like okay that’s weird, and normally after a few refreshes it goes back to normal but it didn’t. It wasn’t because the Internet connection was slow either.
The next day it was still the same, deleted the cache reset everything on safari and restarted which seemed to fix it. I have just let the battery run down again (bad I know) and it did it all over again.
So I am turning to here to figure out what is going on! I hope it can be fixed, as I love my mac too much!
Appreciate any help!
ThanksThe next day it was still the same, deleted the cache reset everything on safari and restarted which seemed to fix it. I have just let the battery run down again (bad I know) and it did it all over again.
If you love your Mac, stop running its battery down the the point that it shuts off. -
Time and date need to be reset when the battery dies
Any help on fixing this issue? Computer gives the warning that the power is running low, then turns off with 6% battery left. When I power it up the system needs to reboot completely and each time the date and time need to be reset.. Why is this?
That battery is relatively healthy, say relatively due to the high cycle count, the number of full charge cycles it has had. The lower capacity simply reflects the high number of charge cycles and is not an issue, only a measure of how long the MacBook will work when running on battery power. The voltage is right where it should be for a MacBook, in the range of 11.5 to 12.5 volts...12.3 volts is a strong battery.
Now to the auto-shutdown for lack of a better term - that sounds a lot like something loose inside the MacBook that when jarred shorts/shutsdown the sytem with a loss of basic information. You could try things like an SMC reseet or PRAM reset but I seriously doubt they would have any affect. Best option would be a visit to an Apple store genius bar to have the techs run some diagnostics to see if they can identify something going wrong inside.
Hope this helps and you can find resolution...auto shutdowns of this type are not really good for the system. -
What does that mean when your iPod only charges when you battery dies? (meaning: when my battery isn't dead it wont charge but when the battery is dead thats the only time it will charge)
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I've tried restarting it. When the battery finally dies and I get to turn it back on, it works for a while until it freezes, then I click the power button to put it on standby and then the screen won't turn back on but the computer says it's still on. However, the computer won't detect the device.
When this happens hold the HOME and SLEEP button at the same time for about 10 seconds until an Apple logo appears. If that works we still need to find out why it is locking up.

My battery dies very quickly and even when the battery indicates that it is 50% full
I had similar issue with one of the macbooks in the office. Make sure you've got latest firmware installed (run Software Update). This resolved the issue for us instantly (you may need to reboot mac AFTER firmware upgrade for this to work).

My 3GS after updating iOS continuously keeps restarting until the battery dies.
Hello guys,
After updating my 3GS, (I guess to iOS 6.0.1 or 6.0.2 I'm not sure, so the new iOS, two days ago) the phone continuously keeps restarting until the battery dies. I can't do anything with it because it is just restarting and restarting and restarting and... again and again and again....
Don't even try to tell me to do this or that... press this and that button for a couple of seconds, because the phone is just restarting. The Apple logo appears on the screen and sometimes the small circle as well for a couple second and then the Apple logo again, continuously again and again. I got this itunes message when connecting the phone to the computer: "We're sorry, we are unable to connect with your activation at this time." So again the phone does not respond to anything, just restarting and restarting untill the battery dies.
I went to the Apple store to ask the Apple genius team, but with no luck, unfortunately. He didn't know anything that would help. Now I'm looking for an Apple genius outside the Apple store... So now you geniuses out there try to resolve this problem.
Please help if you're a genius!
Thanks in advance!Sounds like the battery needs recalibrating but letting the phone die and then charging over night normally helps. Have you tried resetting the phone by holding the power and home button until it turns off and reboots? Try that, letting the phone run down till it turns off a few times and charge it over night. If not you may have to restore your phone via iTunes, make sure you have a current back up, or restore as new if that fails, add all your contacts etc back manually that might remove any corruption you could have. Note you will lose game data etc that way but its normally the best way to sort issues if all else fails.

After the most recent update, I've noticed a couple MAJOR changes! 1) The battery life can barely make it through half the day. I have to keep charging it no matter how little I use it. I've even turned off apps running in the background, it didn't make much difference. And 2) When the battery gets really low, at the 10% mark, it deletes contacts and settings. I've lost so many contacts all of the sudden and I constantly have to restore my iPhone. It's so frustrating! And when the battery gets low, it also deletes my e-mail account to receive e-mails on the phone. I'm tired of having to constantly reset my phone carry a charger with me, it's not reliable any longer and I'm not sure why. Help??
Here is some information on the applecare +:
http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
It appears that you have to buy the applecare within 30 days of buying your phone - you said that your phone warranty is almost over, so when did you buy it??? That could be the explanation for the error. -
ZBook 17 powers on automatically when the battery is removed and placed back
Hi all,
I am an IT engineer with a 15 years hands on experience and troubleshooting skills.
2 of the laptops I own are ZBook 17.
One is a UK import (F0V53ET, manufactured in October 2013) and the other is a US import (D5D93AV, manufactured in April 2014). Both of them are running the latest BIOS revision (v01.21).
The strange problem I encountered is as follows:
At the D5D93AV when the AC and the battery are removed (i.e. for upgrading the RAM), when the battery is placed back in, the system automatically powers on. Same applies if there is NO battery attached and the AC plug is attached.
At the F0V53ET, this does not happen (and the normal is NOT to happen).
What I tried to do so far to see if the problem is resolved at the D5D93AV:
1) I upgraded the BIOS to the latest version (v01.21) at both the ZBooks.
2) Ensured that BOTH the laptops have exactly identical BIOS settings.
3) Ensured that turn on the machine while on AC is UNCHECKED.
4) Ensured that there are no power on options enabled (like the timed power on, e.t.c.)
5) Tried to disable settings like "USB charge, wake on USB" e.t.c.
6) Tried to remove the CMOS battery, press the power button with no battery or AC to fully discharge, attach the CMOS battery after a minute to ensure the CMOS was cleared and placed everything back.
7) Tried to replace the OS from Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 7 Pro to see if it has an impact to the UEFI Bios settings (i.e. any conflict with Hybrid sleep e.t.c.).
8) Tried to enable "Power on while on AC" to see if the system behavior changes. When the battery is attached and the AC is also attached, it will power on if the "Power on while on AC" is enabled (so this works as expected).
9) The problem gets reproduced ONLY when there is either no battery and the AC is attached, or when the battery is attached without the AC (i.e. after reassembling the machine after a RAM upgrade). Then it powers on automatically.
10) I also swapped the batteries between the 2 ZBooks but the issue with the US model is not resolved either. The battery works fine.
It seems to be either a BIOS issue, or a Power Board issue (hardware fault). The UK model behaves as expected, while the US model seems to have these issues.
Any ideas will be really useful.
So far this is what I did not try yet (due to lack of time):
11) To attach the US model to a docking station and see how it behaves.
12) To disable or enable the Hybrid sleep from the Bios (instead of leaving this to AUTO).
13) To replace the CMOS battery (swap them between the 2 Zbooks), although I don't think it might be the battery as the US unit is NEW with 12 hours of use.
14) To completely remove (or swap) the Optical drives and see if the problem still persists. I know there are some really rare occassions that the Optical drive might be partially faulty and short circuiting. It may sound crazy, but I have seen and experienced this more than 3 times espexially at desktop machines.
Any info or tips will be useful, although I am afraid I may have to escalate it to the 3rd line of HP as it is a really odd issue.Hello, @panoulix
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since the HP ZBook 17 Mobile Workstation is a commercial product. You can do this at Notebook - HP ProBook, ZBook, EliteBook, Compaq, Slate/Tablet PC, Armada, LTE.
The support page for your product may be helpful in the meantime:
HP ZBook 17 Mobile Workstation.
I hope this helps!
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Hi! My iPhone 4S was turned off when the battery got empty, and when I put it on the charger it didn't charge at all. I tried restarting it (on/off home button for 10 sec) nothing happened except it kept giving me the "charge battery" on its screen. I tried with different chargers, still dead! What's weirder is that my sister who has iPhone 4 experienced the same today! No we don't live in the same house!! Does anyone have the same problem?
Please apple support do you people have a convincing answer for us? Is there a solution? My phone is only 2 years old and was (2 hours ago), in top condition!!

My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals. Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice. -
Previously when my macbook pro battery reaches 0%, the computer entered hibernation state, and when connecting the power adapter a progress bar appeared and appeared my content as it was when turned off.
Dede a while back when the battery is depleted macbook off, and when connecting the power adapter I have to press the power button and the machine starts again and it was kept open applications or files that were in use.You should not be completely draining your battery as normal use. I'm not sure if I'm following you correctly, but with a complete drain it is expected to have to hit the power button to activate the system.

the little white battery icon never seems to change when using touch 2g?
what am i missing please
thank you very much
bob donchezThe small battery symbol has a lightning bolt symbol when the battery is charging and a electrical plug symbol when it is completely charged.

Hi,
I would like to ask you a question.
a month ago I bought a battery case for iPhone 5 and it worked properly until I installed iOS 7. From that day my iphone is operating normally, BUT when the battery is empty, unfortunately I can not charge additionally my iphone with the "extra battery case".
Does that mean that you did not even create a new software that supports additional battery case or it is something else?
I need your help!!,
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
VKThe Mophie Air is a good battery case, but doesn't offer the protection she's looking for. I suggest sticking to the Lifeproof, the iPhone has a very good battery (2-3 days moderate usage for me).
To your 2nd to last paragraph, that is false. Verizon is allowing exisiting customers to keep Unlimited Data - but will lose it once they use a subsidized upgrade. So if you buy a 4S (or LTE device for example) outright, you will keep unlimited data. Mobile hotspot may use up a bit of data, but it is a separate add-on/feature. The new Family Share plans may change that, so it's one giant center of data all devices use.
