Ballpark: What is expected "normal" range for how often have to charge 4s?

My new iPhone 4s is needing to be charged more than once a day with moderate usage... is this "normal"? I know it is not an exact science and depends on many factors such as what the phone is doing and various settings, etc., but in general / ballpark: What is the expected "normal" range for how often one would expect to have to charge the 4s? Thanks in advance for any help/insight...

What is the normal temperature for MacBook Pro's when charging?

I really wanted to know because sometimes I feel like my MacBook Pro is too hot. I don't want anything to melt in there. So I decided to download a temperature monitor.
What is the highest healthy temperature a MacBook Pro can reach?

What is the average temperature of a MacBook Pro?
Thank you so much! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
I have a NewerTech external charger with an inbuilt battery calibrator. It provides 2 charging methods: it either fast charges or conditions (calibrates) the battery. Fast charging, which fully charges the battery in about 2 hours, causes the battery to noticeable heat up. However, conditioning, which discharges then recharges the battery, is so gradual that the battery remains cool (at ambient temperature).
The charger has 2 slots (for 2 batteries) and will charge or condition 1 or 2 batteries but not at the same time. For example, it will fast charge one battery and when finished switch to conditioning the second battery. This charging regime means the universal power supply connected to the charger can be less powerful (and smaller), i.e., it will deliver sufficient current to fast charge one battery at a time. Batteries may be left in the charger which automatically switches to trickle charge when continuous charging finishes.
The heat generated by the battery in the MBP is caused by fast charging and whilst I have never made any temperature recordings of the base of my MBP I can confirm that sometimes it gets so hot that it can be painful if in contact with the skin, e.g. resting on ones lap. This is normal. The battery also heats up when the MBP is running solely on battery power. Excessive heat could indicate a battery fault and it should be removed and examined immediately as any distortion, e.g., swelling, can damage the MBP.
An external charger/conditioner is useful if you have a spare battery, or two.

How often have inverted commas in an inserted text to be doubled?

Hello,
if I want to insert a text into a string field and the text contains inverted commas, how often have these inverted commas to be doubled, to avoid inserting errors and to keep the original inverted commas after insertion?
Example "this is a text to be inserted and it contains *'text in inverted commas'* and normal text" How has it to look to keep the single inverted commas in the the text after inserting it?
Regards
Carsten

Use (a) the quote operator or (b) escape quotes.
For the first case, assuming you're on 10g or higher, your example would be:
Insert into tab1 values( q'{this is a text to be inserted and it contains 'text in inverted commas'}'); For the second case, simply add a single quote to escape another. Your example would be:
Insert into tab1 values( 'this is a text to be inserted and it contains ''text in inverted commas'''); (Notice the trailing quote is the end-quote for the entire text.)

What is normal range for CPU Wait time Per Dispatch on Hyper-V 2012

Hello.
I am trying to troubleshoot some performance issues with an application that utilizes sql server, which runs in a Hyper-V Guest.
I have found that the ram, cpu, disk i/o all appear to be within normal range.
Before troubleshooting the sql end of things, I wanted to make make sure the vm isn't waiting for cpu time.
In Vmware, the metric for this is " CPU Ready". From what I can tell, the equivilant to this for Hyper-V on server 2012 is:
Hyper-V Hypervisor Virtual processor\CPU Wait time per dispatch.
I have fired this up and been monitoring it and found that the average is around 22,000, maximum 41,000.
The problem is, I have no idea if this is a normal or acceptable range. I can't seem to find any further information on actually interpreting this data, as to what is acceptable and what will cause performance issues etc..
Can anyone help enlighten me further on this?
Thanks

Hi,
Hyper-V reports this metric is in nano seconds. So, your average is around 22-41 ms (milliseconds). This is GOOD.
Take this example:
This would be comparable to vCenter VM CPU Ready graph which displays VM CPU Ready time in milliseconds.
Note #1: This measures each virtual core presented to an individual VM. This will be different if you're not using hyper-threading on the host
Note #2: This is scaled to a factor of 0.001, so that the scale on the left is in milliseconds - which is commonly confused with a percentage scale, which is is NOT.
Not to dismiss CPU issues, but generally the first place I look when troubleshooting SQL on a VM is storage access/speed/performance, regardless of what hypervisor is being used. I would verify best practices like putting databases on separate physical
storage that ends up on separate spindles on the storage back end, same for logs, same for temp db, same for temp log,...

What is the Salary Range for Labview development job?

Hello,
Those here that work in labview development (as main role), what is your salary ($/Hour for freelancers | $/Month for hired one)?
thanks

I was in Aero engineering and just graduated. I got offered 60 k to do Labview developement but I think I just got lucky. However, it seems like it doesn't really matter im in the 25% tax bracket and lose all my money to "the man" anyways
Edit: I should add I have about 8 months experience, not certified, and I have my B.S. degree. I believe this pay is just the company's standard for starting engineers.I have a friend who got an offer there, doing someting completely different, but same salary. Often something like that may come into play when determining pay.

I got a new phone yesterday (cracked the screen on my old one) and now I need to restore data from itunes. Itunes is asking fior a password by I do not have an itunes password. what password is itunes looking for?

Hello agentlesley,
It sounds like your backup is encrypted. If you do not know that password, then you would have to set up your iPhone as a new device.

How often should I charge my new macbook pro with retina display?

hi everybody! I just got my macbook today and I want to take good care of it so it lasts me a while, and I'm particularly concerned about the battery life. what ensures that I can maintain a battery that will drain the slowest? or in other words, what are healthy charging habits? I'm a student so I'll be using it more than a few hours daily. should I turn off my macbook or set it to sleep when I'm going to sleep for the night (~6 hours). is there ever a time when sleep is preferable to shut down? when I'm using it for an extended period of time, is it better to run it down and charge it or to leave it charging at 100%? how often should I run down the battery, or if not, what level should I run it down to before charging it again? I read somewhere that it's best to charge it to 80% instead of 100%, is there any truth to this? any input is appreciated, thanks.

How often should I charge MBP Retina 13 (mid 2014)?

Hi,
I didn't find an accurate answer for this question over the Internet, so I think I need a specialist opinion. As all we know, MBP batteries are not easy removeable, thus we should care about them more. I work on MBP for whole days, thus sometimes I need to charge it even twice a day. Charging once a day is a standard for me.
My ordinary (daily) charging looks like that:
(I have fully charged MBP)
1. I work until the battery level decreases until about 8%.
2. I charge it to 100% and unplug it from the power source.
And I do this every day. Should change my charging customs and use a power supply instead more often (if yes, how often?) or not. I know how to care about the battery, about fully charge and discharge once a double week. Usually when working on a non-Mac notebook and I just removed the battery and used the power supply for whole day. Now it's obviously not possible becauses of loosing power cycles.
Please answer and thank you.

As Esquared said, it is not good to drain your battery down to 8%. You will wear it out quicker that way.
Leaving the charger plugged in permanently is not a good idea either. The 95% to 100% you mention is when you leave the charger plugged in and it will drop about 1 percentage point a day even when the computer is shut down until it reaches 95% and then start recharging up to 100%. This will keep your cycle count low but is not good for the battery in the long run as it need to "breathe" so to speak.
Seeing that you use your computer so much, you must expect the battery life to run out accordingly, so don't worry too much about cycle count. About once a month or every three weeks or so, unplug the charger and let the battery go down to 40 or 50 percent of charge remaining then plug it back in. This should keep your battery reasonably fit.

How often do people charge their Touch?

Hi everyone, I have a 16g 2 gen that I have had since September. It seems that I have to charge my Touch daily because when I use the apps to play games or use wi-fi it eats up the battery. I just wish Apple would have stated that when one uses applications or wi-fi the battery decreases immensely. Before I bought the Touch I had read that the 2nd gen Touch gives you a 36 hour battery when fully charged. Now maybe for people who just use the Touch to play music only and turn everything else off then I can see getting more out of a battery charge (though I find it hard to believe that one could get 36 hours playing music). If I just wanted to listen to music only I would have bought a different IPOD. I love the fact that there are so many applications one can use and love the wi-fi (though wish that it supported flash) but am concerned that having to charge my Touch daily will give me only a little bit over a year of battery life and then would either have to buy a new Touch or by a new battery. I was hoping that my Touch would last over 2 years but the way the battery goes it doesn't look likely that will happen. Just wondered what other people have been experiencing with their IPOD Touch and the battery. Thanks for listening.

in the earlier ipods, charging the battery on a regular basis, (and without letting the battery run right down) did gradually reduce the battery life (my original ipod mini for example, lasted a couple of years.)
however the battery in the ipod touch is a new type of battery, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery) which benefits from regular charging, whether you battery is run down or not.
yeah, wifi/gaming/videos take up a lot of battery, but charging it up more frequently will not cause you the same problems it would have done in previous years.
try looking up battery hints threads, there are several decent tips around for maximising your battery's life and length.

What to expect to pay for a new/used iSight?

What were these iSight cameras selling for brand new when Apple sold them?
Why did they discontinue it?
I have the 30" ACD, should I invest in a new/used one from ebay or somewhere?
What price should I expect to pay?
Would it be better to get a different camera from Logitech or something, thats cheaper and better?

Unless you can physically examine and test an external iSight, I would not buy one now.
External iSight is a great camera, but they are getting old as electronics go, and you have no idea how the one you buy now has been used or treated by its previous owner(s).
I suggest that you buy locally and test any external iSight you are considering on your Mac before you pay for it. That way you know whether it will work, and a local seller may be able to answer questions, if any, about connecting and using iSight before you buy.
If you find one locally, use the following suggestions to test the external iSight before you buy:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
Even if the external iSight you are considering is advertised as an NOS (new, old-stock) iSight, it is not likely covered by Apple Warranty. If the seller does not provide you written service guarantees or warranty, you may be want to check Apple's iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions, especially if you cannot test the iSight before you buy to be sure it is working.
If you are interested, see this example regarding using a used external iSight:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9464955
What price should I expect to pay?
Searching eBay can show you what others have paid, but I know no way to predict what you should expect.
If you consider buying an untested external iSight via an on-line auction or other internet seller, I strongly suggest that you (try to) get a written guarantee that you can have the iSight examined by your Apple Authorized Service Provider and can have a refund or exchange if the iSight doesn't pass his checks. Such a warranty might effect your purchase price.
Would it be better to get a different camera from Logitech or something, thats cheaper and better?
Yes.
That would be my recommendation. To cheaper and better, you can add is covered by a current warranty.

What is the absolute range for the NI-DAQ?

I am trying to measure a 10 to 50 mV off of the NI-DAQ card NI-9205 .
I know that the range is from 200mV to 10V. What am wondering is if there is a way to capture even smaller values?

Hi mike.tyler,
The range of the DAQ card does not specify the minimum voltage you can measure, but rather how much that analog-digital converter (ADC) needs to amplify your signal. The range of the ADC is -10 to +10 volts, and when a range of -0.2 to +0.2 volts is specified, the signal is amplified to meet the voltage range of the ADC. LabVIEW automatically selects the voltage range based on the minimum and maximum voltages you specify when you create a DAQmx task.
I think what you need to know is the smallest voltage change in your signal that you can detect. When using a 200 mV range, the smallest voltage change that that can be detected is 4 uV, which is given in the 9205 user manual. Thus, you should be able to measure your 10-50mV signal just fine.
