Hi!
I bought a new iPod nano 4th generation on ebay about 3 months ago. I didn't use it because I still have my old one. I was wondering...is it "bad" for my new iPod if I do not use it? Is the battery running out? I read that even if we didn't use our iPod the battery was getting "used". I never even pluged my iPod . I really did nothing with it.
Should I use my new iPod right now?
Thank you so much for your answers!
iPod nano, Windows 7
is it "bad" for my new iPod if I do not use it?
Not likely.
Is the battery running out?
When bought on ebay, most likely it will be dead. Charge it for about 4 to 6 hours. After 5 to 15 minutes and the iPod doesn't turn on, then you need to get it replaced.
