Why is the battery dying?

I got an iPod touch 5th generation 3 days ago. it was fine on the first 2 days but today when I plugged it in to charge, it lost battery. I checked to see if it actually said it it was charging and it did. it said 'battey charging' yet the decrease in battery life continued. I tried restarting the product and I tried the basic option of unplugging and plugging it back in. If you have any ideas on how to help they would be very appreciated. Thank you.

Not Charge

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

Why does the battery die before the power monitor puts the computer to sleep?

Used to be that the power monitor would sleep the computer safely, but lately that doesn't work. I imagine this is something to do with ageing of the battery - is there a way I can recalibrate this?
Thanks!

Well, that explains why I thought it wasn't very useful. Let's try this:

Ive had my ipod for 13 months and the battery died!

is there no way i can get this fixed for free?!?
i just want my ipod back, and they plan to have these batterys to die after 12 months so why should i have to pay?

It's unusual for the battery to simply die. Li-Ion batteries gradually lose capacity over the course of time; it typically takes several hundred full charge cycles before significant degradation occurs. I believe Apple states that after 400 charge cycles, an iPod battery retains about 80% of its original capacity. I've had a 5th Gen Video for about three years and it is still going strong. The typical reason an iPod battery (or any rechargeable) just dies is due to moisture.
In any event, regardless of why the battery died, if your iPod is 13 months old, you will need to pay to replace the battery. This link explains Apple's battery replacement policy.

Why does my battery die so quickly with iOS 7?

Why does my battery die so quickly with iOS 7? Charged to 100%. Unplugged and opened up an hour later. Down to 88%. Why? No apps open.

I think it might also be a bug, my 4S went down to 1% I could actually see it go down from 18% just like a watch. The phone started at about 60% and went down to 1% in about an hour but the useage still stated I had over 6 hours of stand by time, when I plugged in the phone to charge it jumped from 1% to 27%.

My ipod touch is frozen on a screen with the ipod logo and the usb charger cable...i cannot get rid of it...i let the battery die...i held the sleep button and the power buttons..anyone have any ideas?

my ipod touch is frozen... the screen has a picture of the itunes logo and a usb charger. I have held the sleep button and the power button to reset and i have let the battery die and started to recharge...niether worked. any ideas???

Try charing it to 50% at least.
If all else fails, try putting it in DFU mode. Connect it to iTunes, (iTunes may not detect the device, but that's ok) hold the power and home buttons down for 10 seconds, then release the power button but keep holding the home button until it goes into DFU mode. iTunes should detect it and ask for a restore.

This is the second macbook pro i have owned in the past two weeks. I am ready to return it for good if this is a chronic issue. Please help if you have had this same issue.

Try a SMC reset:

If no joy, take it back, and take full advantage of your warranty!

My 16b 3gs was working perfectly. The battery died and I plugged it in correctly to charge and it also neohook up to itunes for restore. It also had a little exclamation button that reads: IMEI:unknown and just below it read ICCID: Unknown. Nothing else

My 16gig ipone 3gs was working perfectly since it was replaced only a month or to prior. I was visiting with some friends around the ole pipe and low and behold the phone was completly dried of it's go juice. One we noticed I reached into the kitchen and plugged it in to the outlet.,,, The battery died and I plugged it in correctly to charge and it also said Emergency calls only in various foriegn languages. It also said to plug it into your itunes. All the while haviing no calling options to say the least. I followed the apple instructions perfectly when it said that there was a new version of itunes I should download first, prior to refreshing it. It went through all of the installing and so on then at the end you still get a useless phone that doesnt work. IMEI: unknown and ICCIC; unknown (both of which can be found by you on the box or on the sim card case. I completley removed the sim card and it worked in my hubbies 3g.   I tried several times and also AT&t had made sure the imei and iccic where correct. So I spent hours getting nowhere with this. Its new and nice and broken.. Im going to leave that Apple store with a brand new iphone 4 tomorrow. Simply b/c it is for my pain and suffering and for giving me a crappy refurbished phone. Fair is fair. So if you've found a way to fix great, but Im going to get that free iphone 4 xoxo toodllloooo

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.
- Try another cable
- 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.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

Brought a second hand ipod touch 4th gen, tried to restore it and the battery died now it will not charge or switch on

Hello everyone I brought a second hand ipod touch 4th gen and it all worked fab except it wouldn't let me put any new apps on it so my friend suggested I restore it which I did but while it was restoring the battery died. Now it doesn't seem to be charging and I have left it for ages through the laptop and tried it through a geniune apple plug in charger but its not working. When you plug in the cable to the laptop or plug the little grey apple comes up on the screen but only stays on for about 5 maybe 6 seconds. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried all the trouble shooting suggestions on apple but none of its worked, Shall we just bin it and learn from our mistakes.
Thank you to anyone who can help

Should I always plug my laptop to the charger or should I let the battery die before recharging my laptop

Hi, I have a macbook pro. I use it a lot for college and I was wondering, should I always plug my laptop to the charger or should I let the battery die before recharging my laptop? Is there a difference? The battery of my laptop is supposed to last how long?
Thank you alot!

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.

The battery died and shut down, when I powered up all my data was gone.

When the battery died on my MacBook Pro it shut down. When I powered back up the machine went back to the original startup configuration. I could not access my data. I know it is there as I ran the disk utility and it shows the drive is almost full. Can anyone help me recover my data?
Thanks

Hi johndiiullo: Before the MacBook Pro shut down, did you happen to change the "Short Name" of the computer? If so check here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107854
