Why does my ipod lose its battery so fast

my old ipod i gave to my sister but she is complaining the same thing that i complained about it loses its battery so fast. This has only been a problem since i upgraded to ios 4.1

ways to keep the life up are, turn off push notifications, put the eq for music off, put the brightness of the screen on low and have auto light off, push mail thing off, and thats all i know. went from a 1 hour battery life to 2 hour battery life.

  • Why does my Ipod say its charging when it isn't reseaving any power?

    I read every article on the support part of the apple website and nothing could help me. My Ipod touch is a 3rd generation and has 32 gigs, if thats relavent at all. So, my Ipod has a picture of a dead battery with a lightning bolt on it, and it only shows when its charging. The apple support said that picture means that the Ipod is charging, but is so dead that it cannot function, and to let it charge for 30 minutes and it should be better. It sat on a wall charger (a usb outlet that is plugged into the wall) for 3 days now and theres been no progress. So why does my Ipod say its charging when it isn't reseaving any power?
    I've tried 2 wall chargers, and tried connenting it to all three of my computers, and tried about 4 differant charger cords. On all of them the Ipod says its charging, but it isn't getting any charge. So I don't believe its a severed power cord. I have also reset it a few times, and it won't show the apple sign, only the same battery/lightning picture.

    It could also be the charging circuit in the iPod. The Genius Bar is free. You could try to replace the battery yourself but that may not fix it.

  • Why does my iphone lose its network connection

    Have a new iphone and a wireless network at home.  The phone connects to the network ok, but as I move around the house it loses its connection.  When attempts are made to reconnect the iphone replies "incorrect password", despite the fact that the password was stored from the previous connection.  Attempts to reenter the password do not help.  So far the only thing that allows a reconnect is to completely reset the network settings on the iphone, after which it connects once but then disconnects again later.  The issue may be related to the fact that there are two wireless routers in the house and the disconnections may be related to moving from the domain of one to another.

    Hi Frayyan,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below will give you some insight about how to optimize your settings to improve the battery life on your iPhone:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting  
    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.
    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.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • Why does my iPod touch 4 battery die quick and charge quick?

    When i use my ipod the battery dies quickly and as soon as i put it on charge it charges fully in less than 15mins

    If you charge for four or more hours how long does a full charge last?
    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.
    - 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 since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why does Firefox 8 lose its settings between sessions?

    Version 8 does not hold its settings from one Windows session to another. I have to keep turning the menu bar back on and resizing the window (the default of the left half of the screen -- absolutely WORST place it could be -- keeps coming back!). Fix this or you're going to start losing users by the thousands to Chrome, which never has had these problems. As well, I click Submit Feedback button and nothing happens, the bookmarks toolbar disappears, and the tabs go up top. HORRIBLE!!!

  • Why does my compuer lose its cursor and/or loses sound and have to use mouse to get back?

    I will be typing along and suddenly nothing shows on screen and have to use mouse to get back.
    Also will be doing solitare or other game and lose sound and have to mouse to get things moving again.Is this a virus?
    I updated my windows and nothing showed as a problem there.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Why does my ipod lose wireless connection

    So I bought this iPOD touch 3g, 8GB that was recently "refreshed" from Best Buy (i bought it from a private party after he received it  back). After charging it up I downloaded an app that I use to control a sonos music player. Problem is that the iPOD will not stay connected to my network. My wireless is a month old Netgear 802.11a/b/g/n router and all of the laptops in the house connect perfectly. the iPOD touch cuts in and out every minute or two.I went into the settings/general folder and did a network settings reset, but that did not cure the problem.Any suggestions?

    this could have countless reasons but it might be your to far from router your router might be haveing electrical problems or your ipod is trying to join to many networks

  • Why does my iMac lose its IP Address after being asleep?

    It appears that after an hour or so of being asleep my iMac will not reconnect to the wifi internet. When I open the problem it says No IP address but the problem is quickly fixed by going into diagnostics.
    I've done all of the updates, I have reinstalled, and I've tried to change my location several times.
    Whats my computers diagnosis?

    Hmmm, is this any more than any ISP DNS Server would do? (A much lesser concern, but I have the NoRedirct Add-on in Firefox. When I type in a misspelled URL like nsojs-,gpi-0skf, it goes to Google, not OpenDNS and I have all Google cookies blocked, as well as Google's link tracking redirects, using NoScript.)
    Anyway, I've read the ToU and the Privacy Policy. But it's written in obtuse legalese. What I'd really like to know is what they do in practice. FWIW (and maybe not worth that much)
    2) We have never sold, nor do we have any intention of selling any customer data ever. You have completely taken that line from our privacy policy out of context. All that means is that when you click an ad, our advertising partner (Yahoo) will see your IP address and the typo you made that resulted in you seeing the ad you clicked on. Nothing more.

    Gen -- We don't do anything with your query history other than pull some stats from them. Moreover, your ISP has a far far more privacy-invasive privacy policy...
    And while it's not intended to satiate the tin-foil'ers, we're currently putting together some new features now that will let you turn off all stats collection for your requests. That means we'll bitbucket all your stats and anything even remotely personally identifiable (and not like AOL-style anonymize it, we'll actually get rid of it).
    As for being free, EveryDNS.Net is free too and we've been making money for six years. Go figure. :-)

  • Why does my Ipod Nano  sometimes lose volumn

    Why does my Ipod Nano sometimes lose volumn?

    If the Nano is not in a protective case while you are working out, there may be a good chance that sweat/moisture has found its way into the inside of the iPod causing its buttons and functions to short circuit.  Several users who used their Nano for workouts have run into the same exact issue.
    Some have been able to correct it by giving the iPod a few days to dry out and then clipping the Nano to another location on their body and/or using a protective case with the Nano.
