Why does the battery on my ipod touch drain so fast?

I barely have an hour of battery life using my ipod touch.  I will only be listening to music and all of a sudden there is no battery left.  What can I do to fix this?

Make sure things like wi-fi, bluetooth, and location services are turned off. Also, if you listen with the screen on, battery drains faster, so you should always sleep the iPod when using it for music.
Hope this helps!

    Until it dies.
    That would depend entirely on what you do with it and how much you use it.

  • Why is the battery on my macbook air draining so fast?

    Hi there:
    I have a 2 week new Macbook Air 13'', mid 2013 model. Yesterday, after being prompted to update to the latest of Mavericks, i have unplugged the laptop and left it in sleep mode. Overnight it went from 100% charged to 0.
    Has anyone experienced something similar?
    Any help, or advice are appreciated.

    You have a 14 day exchange period.  Take care of that now before time runs out.
    100 to 0 overnight on sleep shouldn't happen.
    However dont leave your Air on sleep overnight, turn it off.

  • Why does my ical on my ipod touch not sync with my ical on my desktop if I put in an event on the ipod calendar?

    Why does my ical on my ipod touch not sync with my ical on my desktop imac ical?
    It will if I put it in on my desktop though.

    Probably because you did not tell the iPod to sync the calendar in iTunes.

  • Am I able to reset the battery of an iPod Touch 5G myself?

    Am I able to reset the battery of an iPod Touch 5G myself? Because my battery is doing strange. When I put it in a computer it says 'charging off'. When I put it in a charger it is normally charging but when I take it out, it says 20% battery life remaining. I put it in the charger the whole night but I don't know what's wrong. But after it says 20% it turns off (of course) but when I turn it on, the battery is 100%! I didn't even put it in a charger! And then the same story begins. over and over.

    Hey Ron61, Don't know about resetting the battery, but you can do a reset of the iPod. Start with a soft reset. Press and hold the power and home buttons together, until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds+/-) then release both buttons. If no joy, then go into Settings>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If that does my work try allowing your iPod to drain down until it turns off, then charge at least 4 hours. Also try a different cable, the lighting cables have a history of failing / shorting out. And inspect your charging port on the iPod for foreign debris or damage. If still not joy, make a full set of backups of everything on this iPod to your computer then try to Restore for Backup or last resort Restore to New. If none of the above work, contact your Apple store or Apple Genius Bar and have your iPod evaluated for possible hardware issue. Bring you cable alone also. Good luck. Cheers.

  • Why does my 3rd generation 8gb ipod touch not pick up on ios 5 update?

    Why does my 3rd generation 8gb ipod touch not pick up on ios 5 update?

    I know you are not apple though I believe I still have apoint. As you can see the release date for these two iPod touches is differentby about a year. My iPod was sold as an apple iPod touch 8 GB third generation,and as I can see from this page and many others have experienced this. I wouldcomplain to apple though there seems to be no actual way to do this withouthaving to fork out for additional support, which is unacceptable also my iPodwas bought form a reliable UK retailer. It is not just the seller who names itas a 3rd generation I have also included a print screen of a trade in offerfrom a large phone shop site:

  • Hello. So I have used my iPod touch 4g for 2 years now and need to change the battery. My question is: will I lose everything I have on my iPod like my music,pictures and apps if I change the battery on my iPod touch 4g?

    Thanks for answer

    If you go to Apple, they will not replace your battery, but exchange your iPod for a refurbished iPod of the same model with a new battery.  Therefore you will lose everything that is not backed up.  If you change it yourself or have a third party change it, you will most likely not lose anything (but still best to make a backup as lllaass suggested).

  • HT1476 why does the battery usage percentage not available in ios5.1.1???

    why does the battery usage percentage not available in ios5.1.1???
    and why is clock not available on ipad????

    Because that is a decision the Apple made.  You can get the battery percentage (within 5%)  by using a free app such as BatteryLife Lite, but it will not show the percentage on the top of your screen.

  • I am aware that apple does not replace the battery for my ipod touch 4th generation, but I wanted to know if i purchase a replacement battery, can they recommend someone to replace the battery for me?

    I have a ipod touch 4th generation, 32gb, purchased at least 3 years ago.  It will not hold a charge, so I would like to purchase a replacement battery.  Can the apple store recommend someone to install the battery for me once I purchase it from them?

    Apple does not repl;ace the battery in your iPod. They exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery.
    A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less. Google for more.

    i just installed a new battery into my wifes ipod touch.  after charging it all night,  all it will do is show the apple logo.  ive tried reseting,  ive tried going through itunes.  doesnt respond to either. the computer doesnt even reconize that its hooked up.  please help me.

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

  • Why does my music on my ipod touch 5th generation get deleted when I connect it to iTunes on my computer?

    Why does my music keep getting deleted on my ipod touch Everytime I connect it to iTunes on my computer? I've Uninstaller and reinstalled itunes. I've reset my ipod to factory setting and I keep getting this message " The ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-54)" this also happens with my ipod 4th generation too. Everytime I go to put new music on it all my old music gets deleted :-/

    That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.

  • Why is the 5th generation Black IPod touch being discontinued?

    The guy at the store told us Apple wouldn't be making them any longer, does anyone know why?

    On my slate iPod Touch 5, the metal around the camera and the loop button's paint was eventually scraped off, but none on the backplate. This is because the metal backplate's color is electrochemically infused with the color assigned to the iPod. The slate solution, over time, became grayish-blue after awhile, and was a bit expensive to make. Therefore, Space Gray was born! This was to save money, and solving a few other trivial problems,
    like the blue-gray hue.
