Page 1 of Ipod Issue

My girlfriend has an ipod mini and when she first got it she only charged the battery for 8 hours or so. Now this is the period of time the charge will last regardless of how long you leave it to charge up.

Am i right in thinking that the first charge period dictataes how the Ipod will charge in future and if so is there anyway to reset it??



It matters not what happens in life, ive met the Mighty Bruce and my life is complete.

You could try a reset and see if that helps, viz.,

The same thing happened to me. I kept wondering why it wouldn`t charge, but then realised it needed a reset.

On your ipod mini, toggle the hold button (turn it on and then turn it off), then hold the Menu and the select button (top part of the click wheel and the center button) for about 10 seconds.

The Apple logo should appear and your ipod will start charging.

Maybe it will then hold more of a charge.

to determine what charge it will hold discharge the battery fully till it no longer plays then charge it fully do this a couple of times to determine its capacity all rechargeable batteries
need to be power cycled every so often to get best performance.

discharging it fully ( no power save mode enabled) will usally reset battery indicator on most ipod /mp3 /laptop /cellphone ect even regular AA, AAA , C and D rechargeable batteries need power cycled.

i power cycle all of my equipment`s batteries at least once a month and regular batts once every 3 months depend on useage hope this helps
