Battery only lasts for about 7 hours after Update to IOS 4.2.1

Hello folks,
after I have updated my Iphone 3G to the newest firmware (4.2.1) may battery only lasts for about 7hrs in standby-mode (no tethering, umts, wifi, whatsoever), while it has been much much better before.
Does anyone of you have the problem or a solution for it?
Thanks,
Alex

I'm happy to tell you that the problem, at least for myself, is gone. I checked around on the forum and apparently it could be so that something went wrong when updating to 4.2.1 so restoring the phone from itunes could be the fix. I did so and the problems seams to be solved.

You can try restoring the iPod. However, it could be that the battery is going bad.

IPhone 5 battery only lasts for 3 hours of usage

My iPhone 5 64GB is not working as well as I think it should be. After about 3 hours of usage (according to usage statistics in settings), which is just Facebook and web browsing, and 9 total hours of standby, the battery dies. This is mainly over 4G with medium brightness. Background App Refresh is off, most location services are off, Push emails are off, reduce motion is on. I have tried everything I have found online to try and fix this, but nothing has worked. On top of that, my iPhone was just replaced at an Apple Store, so I'm not really sure what it could be.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello pierre0,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Since you have just received this iPhone as a replacement from an Apple Store, it should still be within its 90 day warranty. Please take the device back to the store and inform them of the issue.
A replacement part or Apple Product, including a user-installable part that has been installed in accordance with instructions provided by Apple, assumes the remaining term of the Warranty or ninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coverage for you.

X240 DO NOT HAVE Internal Battery, keypad backlit. 3 Cell External Battery only last for 2 hours!

Why does Lenovo dont tell about this missing features??
I bought the unit a day before I left the country, and then to my surprise it does not have the internal battery that Lenovo is boasting about. Fn+Spacebar doesnt work in lighting up the keypad and the 3-cell external batter is no way near to 4 hrs!
**bleep** hell Lenovo?
Another thing, is it possible to turn on the light (near the webcam) to light up the keyboard at all?

Hi,
1. Information about battery capacity for laptops with fixed configuration (i.e.not CTO) is provided in PSREF (for not all countries), on Lenovo support site in laptop model short description. It looks like the strings below:
6c Li-Ion
3c front battery and 3c rear battery
3c front battery and 6c rear battery
The 1st string is for 6 cell rear (external) battery.
If laptop is CTO the battery information is available in the purchase order or in the parts data base.
2. Keyboard backlight capability is optional feature. This information could be found in PSREF, in support site parts data base by laptop serial number.
3. ThinkLight feature is absent in Haswell based Lenovo Thinkpads.

Ipod touch 4g battery only lasts 1-2 hour

My ipod touch battery only lasts 1-2 hours, and even when the brightness is at the lowest, +/- 2 hours. This page says the battery life is 7 hours when listening to music and 4 hours when watching videos. Is this my fault or is my battery not doing good? I'm not listening to music or playing videos, i'm just browsing on the web, browsing in the app store and playing games (sound turned off). What can i do about this? Should I contact Apple? Thanks, nelson2tm.

Then
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Seems like the battery is wearin gout

Safari not work for iPad mini after updated to ios 6.1.3

After updated to ios 6.1.3, Safari just not response. I cannot input any web address. Do anyone has this problem? Do anyone know how to solve it?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Photos of last 30 days deleted after update to iOS 8.0.2

After update to iOS 8.0.2 yesterday all my photos of the last 30 days are automatically removed/deleted from my iPhone5 overnight. These photos are not in the new folder "recently deleted" (Zuletzt gelöscht" in Geman). Instantly all photos were there and everything was fine. What went wrong?
The phone call list is also empty.
I want my photos back. Apple take care!!! I need answers immediatly!!!

I Have same issue with wifi on iPad air with 8.0.2 being qa engineer myself I am amazed how company like apple can release something with fundamental issues with wifi and cellular. I guess basic tests are missing and Apple needs to employ good people in test and do not get into this kind of disgrace next time. There is no fix? I have issues with apps upgrade too due to slow wifi, come on apple don't be Samsung or Chinese companies!!!!

New MacBook Pro Battery Only last 2:30 hours...

Hello,
I bought my new macbook pro in november and the battery was fine. It lasted 5 hours. But now, when I fully charge it, it only says that my battery will last 2:30...
I happened all of a sudden. What can I do? I tried to re-calibrate it by fully uncharge it and then fully charge it...
Any tips?
Thank you!
John

I happened all of a sudden. What can I do? I tried to re-calibrate it by fully uncharge it and then fully charge it...
Did you follow the steps in this linked kbase article, including the 2 hour wait on AC power and the 5 hour wait after forced sleep?
It would help if you post your Battery Information from System Profiler (Apple menu > About this Mac > More Info > Power) - the relevant lines are Full Charge Capacity, Cycle Count, and Condition.
Finally, check for 'runaway' processes using a lot of CPU power - in Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor > CPU tab, click the popup to Show: Active Processes then click the CPU column header to sort by usage. Is there anything using a lot of power?

Battery only lasts 5.5 hours - possible they sent wrong battery?

So I love my laptop, it is great, but I feel the battery is a lot less than advertised. I used it today to see how long it lasts on battery and it was about 5.5 hours instead of the 15 hours advertised.
I have the T430 with discrete graphics, but I think it stays inactive unless I do something intensive. I was basically just browsing the internet, chatting, tweeting. I did have like 15-20 tabs open though.
If it matters, I upgraded to 256 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM and moved 7200 RPM HDD to UltraBay.
Is it possible i was sent the 6-cell battery instead of 9-cell? How do I check?
Solved!

Hi sens_adnan,
If you remove ther battery, on the left hand side is the lenovo logo.
Underneath is the part # for your battery.
If the part # is: 45N1007, then your battery is the 6-cell

IPhone backup hung for 4 hours on update to iOS 5

My configuration:
iTunes 10.5.2.11 (just updated to), iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.3.3. Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1 SP 3. Last update and sync was 5 months ago.
Updating iTunes required a PC reboot, which I did. When I updated iTunes 10.5.2.11 (or maybe after I synced my iPhone soon thereafter), it asked if I wanted to automatically install updates (I think) on the iPhone. Hadn't seen this before, so I clicked 'Yes'. I also manually transfered all purchases from iPhone to iTunes before updating to iOS 5 (standard procedure).
The "hang":
The update seemed hang after it started the "backup" process. The "moving green lights" on the backup dialog window rarely changed, and the screen on the iPhone shows a rarely updating "time wheel/gear" icon. Also, every 2+ minutes or so, I can hear the iPhone vibrating, which I was guess means something is going on. Windows Task Manager shows the APSDaemon.exe at 98-99% CPU as well as CPU Usage at 100%. Something seems hung in my mind.
I got nervous (and impatient), so I clicked "Stop" the backup. After a short "Sync" message on the iPhone, everything seems in order and back to as it was before the attempted update. My iPhone settings confirm it's still at iOS 4.3.3.
My Apple technical support expired 4 months ago, so that's why I'm trying the Apple Support Community. I searched to Community logs but wasn't sure that my situation was similar to others.
Thank you for any help you can offer.

Something on your computer is blocking the backup. For one thing, you should back up frequently. Daily is a good idea. The backup is incremental, so when there is a long gap between backups the process of determining what has changed can take quite a while. But 4 hours is much to long.
First, try fixing Windows socket layer manager; this has been a consistent problem since a Microsoft update back in October. Open a Command window, and type:
netsh winsock reset
Then reboot and try again by JUST doing a backup - with the phone connected, right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "Backup" from the floating menu,
If the backup still hangs the old backup is probably corrupt. Delete it by going to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab. After that make sure the delete worked. Use Windows Explorer to verify the Backup folder is empty. It is located at:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
where user is your Windows login name. If the folder is not empty delete everything in it.

What I can I do when my iPod (4th gen) will only charge when it's completely dead? It will charge up untill it turns on, then it stops charging, and the battery life then will only last for about 5 minutes. It won't connect to the computer either. Help?

HELP ME PLEASE !

Have you tried the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
However, ou may have a hardware problem like a dead battery and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store may be in order.

Year Old MBP - Battery only Good for Two Hours

When I fully charge the battery over night and switch the battery indicator to time the most I get is two hours. Percentage view quickly shows from 100% for a few mins to 75% a few mins later and the most I can get out of it is roughly two hours. Based on these readings do you think the battery is defective?

Well, your battery's original capacity was about 4600mAh, and it still has 96% of that: very good for a year old. So it's there, but something is consuming it. Open Activity Monitor and use it to determine what's using the most CPU cycles. If you're using your machine in a brightly lit setting, make sure your display and keyboard brightness aren't being cranked up automatically: the display in particular is a huge energy consumer. If the Web sites you frequent are video sites like YouTube and Hulu that use a lot of Flash, that will eat up your battery very quickly.

Year-old nano's battery only lasts about 9 hours--normal?

The one-year warranty on my nano expires in about two weeks. The battery only lasts about 9 hours when playing AACs purchased from the iTunes Music Store continuously, with the EQ and backlight turned off.
Not too shabby, but also nowhere near the 14 hours it got when it was new.
My question for those of you who have had warranty repairs for battery problems--would Apple consider 9 hours of battery life "defective" and worthy of a warranty repair or replacement?
Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Actually Apple says up to 14 hours. You're doing ok with this because you're getting about 65% or more battery life from the max of 14 hours.
Just to be clear, you can only buy the AppleCare plan during the first 12 months warranty period, so if your iPod is nearing a year old, better be quick.
Btw, have you seen these?
