Last friday my ipod mini started having problems - turning itself off, for example. Today I realized after having the ipod sit on the AC adapter for 2 days it still has no full battery - actually it was dead after about 10 songs.
I checked google and found two good facts:
- The iPod is still under warranty and this includes dead batteries etc.
- A reset might work. I will see tomorrow.
[update Montag, 6. Juni 2005] The hardware reset seems to have worked - battery full and functional for 2 h straight.
[update Mittwoch, 8. Juni 2005] Still annyoing. This morning the ipod showed a 2/3 full battery, after one song it complained about no power. Hardware reset -> battery display was full again. 10 minutes of playback and the battery was empty, this time for good. That makes it a total of about 2 hours playback since the last recharge, no backlight enabled.
Next try: resetting the whole ipod plus firmware.
[update Donnerstag, 9. Juni 2005] This seems to have fixed all problems.
[update Friday, 10. Juni 2005] Nope, still buggy as hell. I just ordered the little box to send it back to apple.
[update Friday June 17th] my replacement iPod just arrived. All is fine again.
i understand. My battery never is full and mine erases its self! I cant ever listen to music.
Try to do a reset, reinstall of the firmware. If that does not help - get it replaced as long as your warrantee lasts!

I believe you may have the alarm set on your iPod, either directly or via some sort of iCal event. Check the settings/preferences and the extra/time setting for the alarm!
