A query about turning the hub off?

Well, just a query really. Every night when I turn the computer off, I turn the switch off at the plug, thus turning the power off on the hub. Is this such a good idea, or should I leave the hub on all the time? I'm wondering if I'm doing the hub more harm than good.
Thanks.

Hi Louise,
Turning off the Hub each night won't harm it but you'll get a better connection,speeds etc. if you leave it on all the time 24/7, just check that it's got plenty of space around it for ventilation and there are power saving settings you can apply, to save electricity,not that it uses much anyway.

When i try to open week cal it loads and then closes after a few seconds...I have checked for updates, turned the phone off then on, closed out of the app and then opened it again...nothing works! Any suggestions?

When i try to open week cal it loads and then closes after a few seconds...I have checked for updates, turned the phone off then on, closed out of the app and then opened it again...nothing works! I have thought about deleting the app from my phone and then reloading it again but I worry that it will delete all my calendar info??? Any suggestions?

To reset, press and hold the Home and power buttons until the silver apple appears.
I would delete the app, reset the phone and then download the app again. Your calendar information should be stored on the phone as Week Cal uses the Calendar app information.
Best of luck.

I lost the ability to use wifi after the 8.02 update. Is there a way to fix this? I've already tried resetting network. Turned the phone off and on. Nothing is working and now I have to run on just data.

csdwarf,
So sorry to hear about the trouble with Wi-Fi! Let's get that working the way it should. Could you provide us some more details regarding where this breakdown occurs? Are you having trouble with turning Wi-Fi on or connecting to your Wi-Fi? Are other devices connecting to your Wi-Fi without issue?

My problem - when syncing and error messages comes up: iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data." I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing. What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?

Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted : a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone. I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them. It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
Thanks for pointing me to the right article.

My apps wont open, i already tried turning the power off but still they wont open :(

Try to reset the device by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.
If this does not help, set it up as new device: How to back up your data and set up as a new device

My ipad mini is frozen in an app and the home button is stuck. Pressing the wake/sleep button does not bring up the red slider to turn the ipad off. Is there any other way I can reset the ipad? Can I remove the battery? and then put it back in?

No the battery is non removable.
Try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

Why does MMS work only after turning the iPhone off and on for iOS6?

I got the new iPhone 5. When sending/recieving pictures i have to turn the phone off and then on. For sending, it works for about 5 minutes and then i can't send anymore. I tried turning wifi off and leaving data on, turning LTE and wifi off with data still on, and other combinations. The only time it works is when i just turned it on.

The message you are seeing is telling you that you do not have enough storage on your device. That has nothing to do with iCloud storage.
iCloud storage is storage on Apple's servers hosting your online iCloud account. The storage on your device is local and cannot be expanded - it is whatever you bought with the device (16GB, 32GB, 64GB).
You need to delete things on your device to increase free space on the device itself.
For example, if you have a lot of pictures in your camera roll, you need to sync those to your computer's photo management software and storage, then delete them from you iPad.
You can delete apps you no longer need or use. You can delete messages you no longer read or use.
Bottom line is you need to remove stuff from the iPad itself to free up more space.

HT4095 I have tried to download 2 movies onto my iPad but I keep getting a download error message. What do I do now? I have already tried turning the iPad off and on again-still nothing.

Try closing iTunes and reset your iPad. After the iPad starts up, try the download again.
To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the iTunes app then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

This is the stupidest question anyone has ever asked I'm sure. But how in the world do you turn the music off? If I just turn the sound off, then it doesn't want to work in other apps either and the music just goes on and on.

I have the dumbest question. Is there an off button just for the music? I can't get my music to stop playing. When I turn the sound off, the music goes on and on and the sound won't work on other apps. Am I doing something worng? Haven't had this thing very long.

I set up my new ipad 2 and connected to my wi-fi network but if I turn the ipad off I have to go in and reconnect. My other ipad automatically connected. Any ideas?

I set up a new ipad2 and conncected it to my home wi-fi network. However, everytime I turn the devise off I have to go in and reconnect. My other ipad reconnects automatically. Any idea what I need to do?

Did you already try to reset the iPad by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data doing a reset.
If this does not work, reset the network settings in Settings/General/Reset.
If still not luck, set it up as new device, described in this article:

How to turn the 8900 off (completely) before boarding a plane

Is there an antenna On/Off feature? Thanks.

What I do to comply with FAA and airline regs in the US:
1. When asked to turn your device off by the crew, go to Manage Connections > Mobile Network, and UNcheck your carrier connection.
2. Press the RED key about 3-5 seconds until you are notified the device is powering down.
When you are in the air, and notified that electronic devices are ok to use,
3. Press the RED key again to power up the device. It will turn on with the radio OFF, which is what you want.
4. Upon being notified of landing or when asked by the crew, turn the device off again using the RED key.
5. When you land, turn the device on once again using the RED key, and then return to Manage Connections and re-enable your Mobile Network.

If you are using Safari then try clearing its cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Hey (: I have the new iPad and I want to ask what is "healthier" for the battery : turn the device off in the night or keep it on during the night ? Thank you !

BTW, statements like
"Use the device until the battery has drained to the point of self-shutdown. Basically, use it until it turns itself off."
in articles like the one at http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/ are complete BS and if you do follow their "advice", your battery life will be severely hampered. Particularly if you also follow one of the comments: "Step One.One: Leave the device for 5+ hours before start charging. This will fully drain the battery." Well, the guy that advised the latter certanly doesn't know anyhting about lithium batteries and the damage deep discharging does to them.
Again, what the article (and the above-cited comment) advices is complete b*llsh*t and noone should really do this.

How do I stop Firefox from creating untitled web pages when I try to send email from a web page. The only way I have found is to turn the computor off and then reboot. I don't have this problem when using Internet Explorer

Every time I click on a web site that has an email option the browser starts making untitled web pages and never stops unless I turn the computer off. It is very frustrating to not be able to use an email option when offered by a web site. The only way I can send email messages on the Firefox browser is to go into my hotmail acct. and copy and paste the addresses. I don't have this problem when I use the Internet Explorer browser.

See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
