This is weird and VERY annoying. I'm really getting bloody sick of my ipod now.
I got an Ipod Mini. 4 gb. It worked fine for about 5 months then the battery sarted playing up. I charged it for the correct time and over that and when I took the ipod off the charger and used it, the battery went down very fast. Even if i charged the day before. Took the ipod out and went to sleep, the next morning the battery would be entirely empty. I presumed it was a battery problem.
I sent it for repair. After 5 months apple said they had lost my ipod and were sending me a replacement. Got it, after about 2 months, this time the ipod crashed and refused to start. I took it back to the store, they couldn't get it to work so, once again it was sent off. 6 months later this time, Apple sent me a new ipod replancement (same model). Now, this ipod is having the exact same problem as my original one. The battery goes down so fast. I only got it 2 days ago.
Last evening I charged it for 5 hours approx. I then listened to it for a while in bed (1 or 2 hours?) whilst reading. I look at the battery and its down to 1/2 full. I then turned it off, checked it this morning and the battery is entirely empty.
What is going on? I think it isn't battery problem but mabye something to do with the software.
BTW, i have tried resetting everything. I have tried everything I can think of.
Please, any suggestions? Would I be able to get a refund from Apple after all this time? Its really getting quite stupid now. What annoys me most is that Apples service is so bad so its near ipossible to get anything fixed or any information off them.
Thanks so much for your help.
