Battery life 5 hours at best?? Apps you can't remove??? You've got to be kidding! !!

I've turned off things like Wifi and blue tooth. I've added Advanced Task Killer. Nothing I do seems to be able to extend battery life beyond 5 hours. Even if I do nothing but unhook it from the charger with a full charge and just leave it sitting there. 5 hours and the things dead. Can't even make it through a work day.
And what's with these apps you can't turn off??? Blockbuster Video? Amazon MP3? social Networking? Battery eaters and time wasters! What a joke!
Most expensive paperweight I've ever owned. I hope to God I can exchange this phone for something else.

I've had mine about three weeks now......I use live wallpaper, since I'm retired and home most of the time I leave WiFi switched on.....
I usually leave it plugged in overnight to charge, unplugging it in the morning. Couple times after I've unplugged it, used it for several phone calls during the day, little bit of web surfing.....forgot to plug it back in at night when I go to bed and when I get up in the morning (@24 hours since it was unplugged)...I'll notice I forgot to plug it in, so do it.....and the phone tells me it's charging and is at 60%.
So.....with my use (and the OPS said the phone just sat on his desk all day) it only uses about 40% of it's battery in 24 hours.
I've got the screen setup to blank with 1 minute of non-use, and I've noticed that when I "wake it back up" first thing the phone does is go looking for the wifi. Doesn't look like it keeps the wifi connection alive when the phone's asleep. I don't leave Facebook running on it, and I check my e-mail manually.
Did see it reboot itself, all by itself one time....don't know what was up with that......
I guess YMMV.......

Is it possible to access my TimeCapsule from outside my local network via internet? If so what is the best app that can help me?

iCloud can do it..

You need Lion and latest firmware on the TC..
Were you hoping to use the ipad/iphone?? That maybe possible but I am not sure how.
You cannot use windows without opening SMB to some strange port and this is going to mess with security.. you also need a static ip address from your ISP.. most private net users do not have this.
You can do it via vpn.. you will need to buy a vpn router and bridge the TC to it.
Just google remote access time capsule.. there are a zillion posts about it.

I upgraded to iphone 4s and installed iOS 6 but now my battery life is significantly reduced. What can I do to fix this problem?

I upgraded to iphone 4s and installed iOS 6 but now my battery life is significantly reduced. What can I do to fix this problem?
I restored my settings my I got the new phone but I think I heard that with the iOS 6 updated that can be an issue and it is better to start from scratch rather than restore your settings.

reset all settings
settings- general- reset - reset all settings
now reconnect to wifi
settings - wifi- click network name - enter password - join
if issue persists backup info and restore via itunes

TS1702 ea game codes opo-up when redeeming "Before you can make purchases, you must tap Continue to sign in, then verify your payment info"

Hi there,
Not an urgent question, however I would like some help.
EA Games ran a great promotion over the holidays that offered free iphone/ipod and ipad games. I won a few but have not been able to access the games due a weird bug. Everytime I attempt to redeem the code on my iphone in the app store or via Itunes app a pop-up appears "before you can make purchases, you must tap Continue to sign in, then verify your payment info." I'd happily click the continue button if there was one. But there isn't. I click on for the pop-up to move on and I'm back at the screen that asks me to redeem. Which I do and the pop-up returns. I'm fully logged in my payment method works for other app purchases or updates but not these EA codes. Very odd.

"If you can imagine it, you can create it. If you can dream it, you can become it." ?

Did Adobe many years ago use the say,
“If you can imagine it, you can create it. If you can dream it, you can become it" as an ad campaign? I remember it so well and even had a bookmark that said something like that.
Does anyone remember this? Please let me know and also, if I am quoting the expression they used. Like I said, MANY YEARS AGO!!
Ellen

That's how I found the quote I was looking for <> Googled to find the quote in the first place and then tried to find any "connection" with Adobe and the quote.
Years ago, Adobe was trying to show how whatever you could imagine, you could create using THEIR products. IE: Photoshop, Premiere, [didn't have Flash yet <> like I said, YEARS ago this ad campaign was], Illustrator etc..
Love the quote and at the time and esp. today, ALL of us can see the connection between our brains and the fabulous Adobe tools that can "put" our brains on paper and any product out there.
You can create whatever you imagine. Brilliant campaign.
Hope someone out there remembers this AD campaign. Am I showing my age here! LOL!!! Started using Photoshop with version 2.5 BEFORE LAYERS. And ONLY ONE UNDO!!!!
Now, THAT WAS SCARY!!!!

Hi I am Del

Have you paired your Apple Tv with your iTunes account? That's how rentals and purchases are billed. If, however, you have already done that it is possible that there is a glitch in the system. I've had that happen occasionally and it usually goes away if I reset Apple Tv. On one occasion that I didn't work so I had to go to iTunes and deauthorize and then authorize this computer. Also, check to see if your Home Sharing is on (under File in iTunes). Hope that helps.

Is there a way to back up a step or undo a step in Camera Raw, like you can do when you are in PS with history?

While in camera raw, editing a photo, is there a way to back up a step or undo a step like you can do when you are in PS with history?

johnh316, There is no so called Backup step. However, you can undo the changes using Ctrl+Z.
Else, suggestions given by JJMack are worth following.
Since you are using Camera Raw, you can anytime revert back to the default state by going choosing "Camera Raw Defaults" from the Options Menu.

My ipad is less than 3 months old but my battery life is not great. What can I do? Within an hour I have lost nearly 30% of battery life

My ipad is only 3 months old and already just from using pages for about an hour the battery life has gone down by 30%. Is this correct or is there something wrong with the battery life? So much for 10 hour battery life....

You may have stuff running that you don't know you hve running. Such as notifications default to on, so you may have a bunch of stuff going out and reaching for info that you don't realize is running. So you can look there, and also look at your mail. If it's set to fetch mails or to push. if it's on push, then y our iPad is reacing out to get the mail all the time.
So try turning stuff off. but if the battery is still not acting like you want it to, make an appointment at your local apple store and have them run diagnostics on it, just to make sure. they might also be able to give you some tips or find what's draining your power.

I just got an iPod touch, it was fine with battery life before I added Apps but now the battery doesn't last more than a night, what should I do?

I just got an ipod touch from my sister yesterday which she has had since October. The battery life went for days with her but as soon as I started checking my email and adding apps the battery doesn't last more than a couple of hours. I deleted some apps but no change. I also kept my email logged in and my notifications turned on so I'm wondering if they are part of the problem. Please let me know what I should do. Thank you so much.

Yes, notifications are part of the problem. For more information look at at the previous posts on this problem. Yu can find some of those on the right hand side of this page under the heading: More Like This. I keep mine in airplane mode when asleep.

IPhone 5 battery life dramatically has changed. I can hardly go through the day without it dying. Once I hit 20% it's down hill from there. It will jump down to 9% in a few seconds and refuse to come back on. Any fixes?

I bought my iPhone 5 the day the stores in my area received them in. I was incredibly impressed with the battery life for an iPhone. The battery life was awesome up until the last few weeks. Now I can hardly make it through the day on a charge. When I get around 20% power left its only a matter of a few seconds before the batter jumps down to below 10% without me doing anything. Immediately after that it shuts off and refuses to come back on when only 30 seconds ago it said I had 20% battery power.... I'm not a terribly heavy user on my phone. I just check the social media sites a few times a day and send a few text messages and that's all. I've shut off location services, Bluetooth, automatic updating of email, closing apps and all that stuff. I'm almost always connected to wifi when I do anything with the Internet on my phone.

Hi, beth.lau.gr.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand you have been experiencing issues with your iPhone restarting and showing you a blue screen. I wont be able to give you an exact answer as to why this is happening. However, this is the most relevant troubleshooting article for this issue. This article also provides options to reach out to us via phone for additional assistance.
