Wont Hold Charge?
I have a 5th Generation 30gb iPod video that I need help with. It cycles from the apple logo to the sad ipod screen and it is not recognized by my computer or itunes. Is this because the battery cant hold the charge? Please help me!
Hey kristen1007,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing battery life issues with your iPod nano. To isolate the issue further, you may want to restore your iPod to factory settings. This will help us determine if the issues are hardware related:

when I charge my iPad it will charge to 100% but won't hold charge. My iPad is about 3 years old. No other trouble. I've turned it off and then on and it still does this.
you to ,you should just get a new iPad ,the iPad mini its so much faster and 16 GB its only 279$ and you get one year warranty with it to,and since years its 3 years old ,then you don't have warranty on the iPad you have now .why would you wanna pay 299 for a new battery .when you can get a new iPad mini that is much faster for 279 and plus one year warranty with it

IPod Shuffle 4G Wont Hold Charge
So i have a brand new iPod Shuffle 4G and it has only been through around 3 charge cycles. It takes the expected three hours to charge. A couple days ago, i charged it fully so that the green light came on. I only listened to it a couple hours that day. The next day, i turned it on and it said 25 percent with the voice over button. An hour later, the voice over button said battery low. I certainly haven't used the iPod for the 15 hour battery charge span that Apple claims. Is there something wrong with my iPod? All replies appreciated:)
Hey there
I would probably guess that you have a faulty battery if your numbers are correct. Remember though that your battery life is affected by many things. Are you listening to songs which are of supreme quality? That uses more battery than just the standard AAC 128kbps songs. Otherwise, take it back to where you bought it.
Hope I helped
P.S. Its crucial you never let your iPod get to hot, batteries hate heat. -
I have a 30gb 5th gen, its around 3 years old (so, out of warranty), and for the last week it has been refusing to charge. When i put it on my Logitech speakers it is fully functional and the battery symbol says it is charging, but no matter how long i leave it on there it dies the second i take it off! my laptop has also stopped recognising it when i plug in to the usb. I have read lots of posts from people with the same problem but have still not found a definitive answer.Is there a solution or is my ipod officially dead?
Time for a new battery.

Everything working fine and then all of sudden it wont hold a charge
- Turned everything off - wifi, bluetooth, locatione etc
- still wont hold charge for than 3 hours ( no talking even .Joe - Pretty much all of my media is either ripped or downloaded through itunes. I don't use any file sharing sites. I'm going to have to go through and delete the few things I do have that I don't remember the source.
Now this is interesting. I went and picked up my ipod tonight, and talked to the guy at the apple store. He said that since the ipod's been through two test cycles, the problem must be in my playlist. He told me that in testing they completely wipe the ipod and load it with test songs to see how long playback lasts. I got it home and turned it on, and it has all my old stuff on it. Is that normal? I figured it would just be wiped. And to this point it seems to be holding a charge, which makes no sense if the problem was with my files because they're all still on there. Very confused. I'm going to leave it another day without syncing it to see what happens, it really doesn't make any sense. -

i have an iphone 3gs the old battery was useless so i replaced it with a new battery but it wont hold a charge now it used to charge to old battery but would just turned off if disconnected to its not the dock connecter any advice
Advice:
1. Learn to use punctuation and sentence structure - your post makes little sense.
2. I'm getting the idea you now want to use your old "useless" battery. Why, if it's useless? -
Battery died, wont hold a charge. After fully charging battery, battery loses all power in 2 hours. Is this indicative of a battery gone bad or something else? Will I lose data if battery completely dies?
Hi, thanks for the reply.
Yes I have done the reset-didn't work.
Yeh, the calibration was done so the phone turned off, then plugged back in to charge back to 100%!
The iphone4s was connected to the charger outlet, the second I unplugged the phone the battery percentage went from 100% to 98%.
AS we speak my phone is now on 100%, after 10 mins usage and 33 minutes standby. This just doesn't correlate with the decrease in battery life associated with every other number (e.g 99,98,97%) apart from when it is on 100%. -
iphone malfunctioning, does not hold charge, date set for dec. 31, 1969, back popped off. what could be the problem?
Take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

My IPhone4 keeps buzzing randomly and now it wont even charge
My IPhone4 keeps buzzing randomly and now it wont even charge !! Please "HELP"
Info:
IPhone 4
Version : 5.1
I was having this problem with the vibration IPhone keeps vibrating randomly with no notification don't know what's the problem with it !!
And currently when I tried to charge it it wont charge I tried to do some research about this issue and have read some of the same problem
here in the forum with same issue and done almost everything changed the cable , core , usb did the hard reset still nothing !!!
Any idea would be appreciated . Thanks
Updated:
I discovered that its not a battery issue
The reason is that it's chargeable while the phone is switched off completely !
after a while you can see the battery charge is full 100%
but when it's switched on the phone wont charge or recognized
the cable from wall charger or usb so I the ITunes won't sync or see the device !
I think its something with the software !
I tried to update to IOS 5.1.1 but after downloading
it wont install the new update I got this message;
"Unable to Install Update"
An error occurred installing IOS 5.1.1
So that only chance which I think it might hwlp solving the problem is dead now
I really have no idea what to do other than taking this phone to Apple

OK folks I started my deep research about this issue ( MY problem )
Don't know if some one out there is even got similar issue
The battery is charging well while my phone is switched off so last night
my Iphone runs out of charge completely 0% so I plugged the cable
and switch it on after a while and all the sudden it shows that the battery
is charging while its switched on !!
If you want to do this you have to plug the charging cable first then turn off
your Iphone and wait for a while then turn it back on ( sipmle off ) no need
for the (Hard) Reset or recovery mode / DFU mode .
Just as a normal way to of switching off your Iphone by
Holding down the sleep/wake button at the top right-hand corner of the iPhone for a few seconds.
This will bring up a screen asking you to run the slider across the screen to turn off the iPhone.
Wait few seconds and repeat that with holding that same sleep/wake button at the top right-hand corner for like a Sec and it will turn on , Then you can
see that your phone is charging while its on !
If you unplug your charging cable this will ruin the whole plan and if you
you plug it again it wont show anything and will not be able to charge
while its on and you have to repeat that procedure.
Now we are sure that out Dock and Charging Port and battery are working fine , So whats the problem here and why my PC wont detect my Iphone ??
Well I assume its from a part called ( PMU IC ) Power Management Unit IC

Check this out :

So I think my main problem is from that tiny part that makes all that
problem I have now so I have to replace it first just to make sure before
replacing any other parts so this is the start I hope this was the problem
that caused all this !!!
If you have any similar issue to mine I really appreciate any advice ,
suggestions regarding this matter .
Thanks for reading

why was i charged 1 dollar for creating account when it says you wont be charged until you make a purchase
It wasn't a charge, rather a "hold" to verify your account. The hold will be released in a day or so.

My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?
- After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod? If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
- If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
