Why does my nano not hold a charge?

I have a 1st generation Nano and it will not hold a charge. can anyone help me?

Todd,
Considering that the Nano is a 1G Nano, meaning it's quite a few years old, it's likely that the battery is shot and in need of replacement. You can choose to have Apple repair it, a third party company, or you can even choose to replace the battery yourself.
However, another thing to consider is whether or not the repair would be worth the cost giving the iPod's age.

Why is my battery not holding a charged now that I have ios7 on my iPhone 4

Why is my battery not holding a charged now that I have ios7 on my iPhone 4

The same is happening to me on my 4 and 4S... Before the software update my battery used to hold up to 1 day for both 4 and 4S. Now I have to charge twice a day the iPhone 4 and three times a day the 4S. Apple should really fix it... I hope they release a new update for iPhone 4 and 4S users...

Why does my ipod not hold the battery charge

my ipod has to be plugged in to come on and most of the time it wont come on it will just bring on the apple start up logo and then shut back off it keeps repeating this action

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why does my ipod not hold charge

I charge my ipod touch with a wall charger. After 30 mins it is dead again and I have to recharge it. Why is it doing this?

Sounds like the batttery needs to be replaced. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm. Apple will replace the battery for $79. A third-party place like the following is less expensive. Google for more

Why does the iphone4 not hold a fully charged battery overnight?

I charged up the iphone4 to 100% last night; left the phone powered "on" overnight - I have done this every night for the past two weeks. But, this morning, the iphone4 showed a very low, almost dead battery picture with a thin red line at the end of the battery. What would cause the fully charged phone to lose all charge overnight, in less than 10 hours?

Two possibilities:
1. The charge level indicator needs recalibrating - discharge the battery completely, then charge it fully
2. Something is running and using power. Restart the phone (Home and Sleep pressed until the Apple logo appears)
There might be a fault with the battery, but these two are more likely

MY new Ipod Nano does not hold a charge. I use it mostly as a watch, perhaps look at it 5 or 6 times in 8 hours, and leave it in sleep mode the rest of the time. I drains to the red line in less than 2 days. My husband's nano will last a week this way.

I drains to the red line in less than 2 days. My husband's nano will last a week this way. I thought it drained because of looking at photos, so I quit looking at them and it made no difference. Am I doing something incorrectly to cause this short battery life?

You are still under warranty if your iPod is "new." Take full advantage of it by either calling iPod tech support, Apple Care if you have it or take it in to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

IPad does not hold a charge. Anyone know why?

My ipad does not hold a charge. I charged it yesterday and didnt use it at all today plus I even shut it down all the way not just sleep.

I doubt that anyone here, with the limited knowledge of how you actually use your device, could ever do more than hazard a guess. Your power adapter is bad and not charging properly .... It is possible that the battery indicator is giving you an incorrect reading and that the iPad has more battery power left than it shows on the meter, but if it shuts down on its own after less than say - 6 hours - on a full charge - then something is wrong.

You may want to read both articles and make your own determination. You can always try restoring the device and see if that helps. Read this for help.

You could try a hard reset and see if that helps at all.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

MacBook Air 11 in. does not hold a charge

I have a brand new MacBook Air 11 inch computer that I got in the fall of 2013. It does not hold a charge for very long, probably only 2-3 hours before I have to charge it again. This happens even though I always have my brightness on low. When I shut down my computer at the end of the night and go to use it the next day, the battery will also be drained. I do not know why this happens...

1. did you often drain the battery very low?
2. did you often /always have your macbook on charge,......or did you often / always BOTH have your macbook on charge AND in sleep mode?
1 or 2 are harsh on the battery chemistry and therefore its longevity
all batteries are consumables meant to replaced either in their own "due time" or early due to abuse / misuse.

Why does my nano suddenly not display audiobooks option?

Why does my nano suddenly not display the audiobooks option?

There are options on the iPod's Settings screen to show or not show items in the various menus.
For example, on my 5th gen nano, Audiobooks in on the Music menu. In Settings - General - Music Menu, I can select to show Audiobooks or not, on the Music menu.

HT1414 After installing ios 7, my ipad 2 is taking a long time to charge, like 8 hours and not holding the charge. Help

After installing IOS7 on my IPad2, it takes a very long time to charge and does not hold the charge. Should I uninstall IOS7, how do you do that? HELP!!

Do you have the cover on your ipad? If so you may need to go into settings>General and turn on lock/ unlock so that it goes into standby when cover is closed. Not sure this is your problem but it was why my battery didn't last long. As far as long charge time goes I have noticed it is taking longer to charge also. Hope they fix some of these bugs in the first update.

Samsung Stratosphere not holding a charge

I finally made the leap from Blackberry to Android and while I like the interface and great apps this phone does not hold a charge. I charge it all night and after one phone call it is at 50% battery. I literally have to keep this phone on a charger all the time which defeats the whole "mobile phone" purpose. Anyone else have this issue? Should I try a new battery or is this a known defect in this phone?

Hello all, and
I too was having the same issues with my samsung stratosphere. I purchased it June 2012 and had to change the phone, then when i received the new phone the same heating/not able to hold a charge issue continued to happen. So back to the verizon store i went and they said to remove the battery, take the sim card out, shut down applications, etc...I think they say this to sound legit and get you out of the store. My phone was so hot i had to shut it down 5 times per day, and i had to talk on speaker as it was too hot to hold. I knew my phone was having 2 issues, one was the heating issue and the other was it could not load any websites, but only when i was on wifi. So I started to think that the problems might be related and began to google why it could not load web pages while on wifi and came across they following.
So, I have a Stratosphere. My problem: apps work fine, but browser won't connect at all when on WIFI. I had NO TROUBLE connecting to my wireless router, but half the stuff on my phone coiuld not access the internet when on WIFI. It seemed that all the items not able to connect were using the phone's internet connection THROUGH the browser's internet interface. I could get everything t work by disabling wifi so that the phone HAD to use 4G, and it worked, but as soon as I enabled wifi and the phone connected to my router, half of the stuff on my phone would stop working... things like the Facebook integration in the Contacts area. So, to fix my WIFI, I went to SETTINGS>Wireless & Networks>WIFI Settings>Advanced>Proxy. There was some text in the Proxy field. I erased that and... BOOM everything started working again. I am sure this isn't everyone's problem, but perhaps it can help a few people.
I looked at my settings and found text in my proxy setting, i then deleted it and WOW! it alll worked again, the heating issue went away, internet connections were back, my phone sped up, and the battery lasted almost all day on a full charge as opposed to an hour.
I hope this helps for you as it did me. It was a major hassel to not be able to use my phone because of the heat. I'm surprised verizon does not have this figured out, when i googled the problem i was amazed at how many different types of phones were having similiar issues.
Good luck,
Mike
