Actually doing ANYTHING on your iPod touch whether it be listening to music, or pressing some buttons will drain the ipod battery. some things drain less battery then other things, but they all drain battery. (for example, listening to music does not drain as much battery as watching a video.) I do not know any buttons on the ipod touch called the hold button, but if you are talking about the button in the front with a square on it, that does not drain battery. if you keep holding it, a whole lot of options might open, but it does not drain battery. If it DOES drain battery, its so small of a drain that you won't notice it and it won't impact your ipod's performance
Battery is getting old and will not hold a charge or there is a drain on it. Battery is getting old and will not hold a charge or there is a drain on it.
Try forcing a shutdown (hold the back button and down on the D-pad at the same time for a couple seconds). If that does not work, let the battery drain completely. I've only had my Zune freeze once on me, and I had to drain the battery.
shut down unplug battery and charger hold power button for 5 to 10 seconds to drain all residual power plug battery and charger back in done....
hold the button on the top while pressing the center button.this should restart the ipod.
The main function of the hold button (hold feature) on an Apple iPod is to help preserve battery life.
Because iPods can hold lots of features, battery life last longer, play longer hours of videos, hold more songs and you can also play games.
press and hold the end button. the end button is usually red. if the phone has battery life and you hold the end button it will turn on
For most iPods you need to hold down the play/pause button. So, you could try that.
There is something on that is pulling power from the battery. Any light or any relay that is stuck will drain the battery.
If its a regular iPod, when it's orange, its on hold (right). If it's a touch, you just push the button on the top.
Well, the new iPods that just came out....you just hold the play/pause button and the screen should light up.
Either the battery is not fine and has a dead cell, or something is on pulling power from the battery. Any light on or stuck relay will drain the battery overnight.
