I have yet to have a cable for my iPad 3, iPad 4 or iPhone 5 fail. I have multiple cables for each device without any failures.

Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different? When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html

My brand-new iPad Mini has Siri unresponsive. This happens quite frequently and I find it very frustrating. I have a strong Wi-Fi connection. Has anyone had this problem and fixed it?
Let me also say that this has been functioning this way out of the box...this is not new or a result of cookies or a full cache.

I have gone through 4 charging cables for my iPhone 5. Is it possible to claim one free of charge from Apple?
The cable that came with it is covered under the same warranty as the phone. Why have you been buying them?

I just got my Mac Pro repaired from Apple but I am experiencing the same issue: Screen freezes and shows funny rectangular bars. I shut it down manually and when I try to turn it back on it beeps 3 times. I know its the RAM but is there a way I can fix it
If you just got it back and it isn't fixed or something else is wrong with it take it back and have them do the repair correctly.

these cable are so delicate that after one week of use they break down. i can't spend all my money on buying them. moreover, last week it broke down on saturday eve so i was stuck untill tuseday without a phone.
i have to say that this compan is so rude, and it took me like an hour to sign in and write this complain, and i'm not even sure if it's the right place to wright this sort of things.
apple's customer service is the wort customer service in the world.I don't understand why you need to buy a new one every week. I've had my iPhnoe 5 for almost a year, never had a problem with the cable. In addition, your phone is can't be more than a year old. Therefore, unless you're damaging them, your cable is under warranty and Apple will replace it. Perhaps you should have tried actually availing yourself of Apple's customer service before complaining about it.
Best of luck. -
I want some of the same apps available on my iphone and ipad2 to be available on my macbook pro app store and to be able to link them through icloud. Is this not possible? If not, why not?
The Mac uses Mac OS X and iDevices use iOS. These are two different operating systems and the apps must be written for each operating system specifically, even when the apps go by the same name, such as the iWork apps, they are two ifferent versions of the same app for the two different platforms.
So, as an example, Safari has been written for three different operating systems, Mac OS X, iOS and Windows. And the Safari apps, as similar as they are visually, are not interchangeable for the different platforms. -
Am I the only one that has safari restart every few minutes when using private browsing?
I have no idea why, but when I use private browsing on safari, it seems to have a mind of it's own once and a while. Randomly, it decides to quit without the "quit unexpectidly" part normally found in this issue, and when I go back onto safari, all of the tabs I had open are no longer there.
Nope, that's all I use is Private browsing on it and it's never behaved this way.

Has anyone had issues with texting between your iPhone and your iPad 2?
If I send a text message from my iPad 2 and my iPhone 4 to someone it sometimes creates two different text feeds in my friend's phone. So it shows two different text "groups" in their iPhone. If they reply on one of them I don't get the messages. Any ideas?
Check to make sure you have the Recieve At going to the same email address on both devices. Settings > Messages > Receive At

I have a 13.5 month old Ipad2, wifi only that has had problems with wifi com from the beginning. I am learning that this is not unusual for apple. Any suggestions?
ronald1094Try #5.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Want my JFrame to be the *only* one that can end the program when closed
Hi all,
I have an application that is essentially a launcher for other applications -- it's a holder to allow us to demo our work and other Java examples (not necessarily our work). The launcher will either run methods to launch an application or will find a class's main method and invoke that.
In all cases, the other applications open up their own JFrames, separate from my launcher (this is a good thing). The problem is that, in general, the other JFrames are set to EXIT_ON_CLOSE. This means that if the user closes the second window, everything will close.
Is there anyway to prevent this from happening? I'd like either a way to say that my JFrame is the only one that can exit the program when closed, or to say globally that JFrames can't exit on close, and then re-work my initial frame so that it is still able to exit.
Note that changing all the other applications so that they do not include the EXIT_ON_CLOSE line is not an option (several of the applications we have the right to use, but not the right to modify, for instance).
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

I have a similar launcher application and this is how I tackled the issue....
Window[] windows = Window.getWindows();
This seems like a great work-around. The only problem is that Window.getWindows() is only 6.0, and unfortunately I can only assume 5.0. I can't see another method in the Window class that will return unowned windows -- is there another method that you know of?
Edit: I found I can use Frame.getFrames() instead, but unfortunately I've discovered this doesn't solve my problem. One of the applications is listening to window closing and is calling System.exit(0) itself, and is not using EXIT_ON_CLOSE as I previously thought. So I think that launching a new JVM may be the only option.... Any advice on how to do this? I'm a little stuck with the ProcessBuilder stuff above.

edit In future (not this time), Swing related questions should be posted in the [Swing forum|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=57]
I guess I was thinking this as a process-oriented question (I had already been thinking of the "different JVM" tactic), but the other option was to think of it as a pure-swing problem, like your solution above. Guess I should have just cross-posted -- everyone loves that! ;-)

I had a previous iPhone, my current iPhone and my iPad that are all connected to one cloud. Can I delete the backup from my previous iPhone? Will it delete in the cloud AND on the phone? or does it just delete from iCloud? or does it just delete from the phone? Someone please help!
You can delete the backup without any problem. Only the backup will be deleted from iCloud and nothing else will be deleted, so you can do it without worrying about losing data on iCloud or your devices

Why is 1080i the only one that works for my slideshow.
Well... I'm getting to my breaking point.
First my system.. Mac Pro 2.66 2x300gb raid 0. x1900 ACD 30
5gb Ram
I have read many many posts.. but I still need your help.
I have found that the only thing that gives me a marketable slideshow in terms of quality images is to make a slideshow in imovie under 1080i.
The problem with this is that it really really slows my computer down, and I don't want to do this with a slide show of about 150 images per client, and then have wait more for transistions.
Shouldn't I start a new slideshow in "DV" setting for a 4x3?
I have tried reducing res from 10.2 mp to a 1024x??? settting for images (depending on orientation). All I seem to lose here is a bit of sharpening as I reduce the image resolution, which makes sense if I understand correctly.
So... Where to go from here.
I read the posts.. and have determined that I can use Photo to move (which I have) to make clips and import them into Imovie. Again, a slow process as each clip has to be done seperatly. Is there another way with PTM, because it does render the best Ken burns effect I have seen. Again 150 images is too long to wait to make a slide show of a wedding, not cost effective for me.
Hope someone can help.Anyone??
When I make a movie in 1080 or 720.. it takes alot of resources and slows things down.
Just wondering why choosing those options are the only ones that seem to work
I really need to get it into 4x3 format too.
