BRIDGE TAP MISSING, SHORT BATTERY

Hi,
I got my playbook last week and I am never able to bridge my playbook with my 9700, apparently these 2 devices are not able to find each other. the more annoying part is, the bridge tap was there on the desktop, but it went missing after I had this bridge error.
I tried to reboot and wipe data, re insralling my bridge app on 9700, but none of them worked.
Also, i find the battery lasted quite long (at least when I get home after work, it's still full), but actually since I wiped it, everyday I left home for work in the morning and I found the pb is completely out of battery (without using, wifi and bluetooth are off) after I get home after work. I couldn't even power on, but the charging works though.
is there anyone who knows how to solve these 2 issues for me?
Thank you so much!!

agree to the video chat app then battery will be longer.
are you on OS 6 or 5? there are two versions of bridge

Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? How can this problem be solved?

Dear all,
I am new to this community even though I have been a Apple user for years, so please forgive me if this question is not in the right section.
Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? I've always been happy with these two products until the update - now the battery life is considerably shorter which is extremely frustrating.
How can this problem be solved? Is there any way to go back to the previous version?
Thanks for your help.

If you update using iTunes the phone is first wiped clean, then the new OS is installed, and finally the backup is restored. After this finishes if you sync your music should be restored. Music is not in the backup, because it is already on your computer and duplicating it would use up a lot of hard disk space.
An OTA update just patches what has changed; it does not disturb content.

Possible work-around for v3.0 short battery life

First: be aware there's a difference between "Push" (which is for some email account types & some MobileMe features) and "Push Notifications" (which is for apps). They are controlled in separate Settings screens.
Short story:
If you've upgraded to v3.0, usually have Wifi ON, and experiencing short battery life, and if you can live without Push Notifications (at least until Apple finds a better solution), TRY TURNING "Push Notifications" OFF.
Alternatively, if you can live without Wifi but need Push Notifications, try turning Wifi off & let the data travel via 3G.
Long story:
First I ran alternate days with Wifi ON, then Wifi OFF, and noticed with Wifi OFF my battery life was nowhere near as short (I could get through a day), but with Wifi ON, I can barely get through half a day. This is very different to v2.21, and in my setup the only significant difference was Push Notifications being ON.
Then today I've been running continuous pings from my Mac to my iPhone, with various combinations of Push on/off, Push Notifications on/off, email accounts on push / fetch / manual, and discovered there's a huge difference in how often Wifi gets turned on when Push Notifications is enabled.
With Push Notifications ON, while your iPhone 3G (and probably 3GS) is asleep, Wifi will be turned on for 15-20seconds every 1 to 2 minutes!
This is in stark contrast to Push Notifications OFF, but Push (for email, MobileMe, etc) ON, where Wifi is on only as often as your email account settings dictate.
This explains a lot, I think. With Wifi OFF, data goes through the 2G/3G radio, which is inherently ON all the time (for phone functionality), so the incremental 'cost' (to battery life) of Push Notifications is comparatively small.
But with Wifi enabled, data is instead sent via Wifi. The incremental cost (to battery life) is dramatically higher having to turn on the Wifi radio, find the WLAN, get an IP from DHCP, then exchange data with various Internet servers, when it happens every couple of minutes!
Though I'm not really sure what Apple can do about this situation. They appear to be turning Wifi on frequently to give the illusion of true (ie timely) push notifications. I think this situation runs parallel to those who found, with v2.x, that enabling Push on email accounts & Wifi enabled had similar major negative impact on battery life. Except now heaps more people want the Push Notification feature. Interesting conundrum...

The main thing that helped me with the short battery life was lowering the brightness. My 3G was so bright I could'nt sleep at night.

When I got a new iPhone5, I experienced short battery life, and system sofware issues were not the cause. The camera also takes a blury picture regardless of lighting and I have the black one. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

What makes you so sure it isn't software?
The camera can be focused by take the point of focus on the touch screen.
If it is new as you said, it should be under warranty. Make a Genius Bar appointment or contact Apple with a repair request.

My MacBook Pro is really hot and the fan is on constantly. It didn't use to do this, does anyone know why this is happening? I have a very short battery life, so I have to keep it plugged in probably more than I should.

Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

Is it just me, or is anyone else experiencing shorter battery life for their iphon4 since the update to ios5?

Is it just me, or is anyone else experiencing shorter battery life for their iphon4 since the update to ios5?

Yes, I just switched from the 3GS to the 4S and My battery life is a lot shorter! wasn't sure if it is because it was trying to reload all my music or not

Iphone 5 VERY short battery life since 6.0.2 update.. Is there anything to change that? :/

Very short battery life on my iPhone 5 since 6.0.2 update. I got up this morning and it was only half an hour in use and it already lost 10% of battery life! Please fix that apple!

Apple is still signing for 6.0.1 so you can RESTORE BACK to 6.0.1. Just download the 6.0.1 IPSW for your device and then press the shift key while pressing restore (on windows) which will open a window. Select the downloaded IPSW and you'll be back on 6.0.1. And since Apple is still signing 6.0.1 THIS IS NOT A HACK
OR AN UNAUTHORIZED downgrade. So it DOES NOT void your warranty because Apple is allowing you to downgrade because they've allowed the 6.0.1 window to remain open. I did it for a friend's iPhone and it all worked out fine.

The cause of the whine, heating and short battery life.

It seems like we've discovered how we could fix the whine, heating and the short battery life.
If you take a look at /var/log/System.log
You will find this line:
localhost configd[37]: com.apple.SystemConfiguration.DynamicPowerStep load failed
Yes, that's right. Intel SpeedStep is not implemented in Mac OS X.
It seems like Apple wanted to implement it, either the engineer in charge of it was screwed up or apple was hurrying to get macbook pro released...
This also explains why Macbook pro has a higher battery life, runs cooler without whine on a properly configured Windows XP (with updated intel drivers and microsoft hotfix). On Windows XP, when the system is Idle, CPU is throttled to 1GHz.
So we have two options:
1. Get Apple to implement it correctly - but so far it doesnt seem like apple is really concerned about this issue. Or rather, they don't seem to care.
2. Implement it ourselves - A guy called Cryptonome was trying to implement the proper power management for MacBook Pros on Mac OS X to solve these "CPU whine", heating and battery life problems, and he did have some fruitful results, but it seems like he's currently too busy or something to finish the implementation.
Unfortunately I am not a genius so I cannot implement anything like this... anyone?
What do you guys think?

That's exactly what I am doing : expecting a solution from Apple. And you know what, Apple today released a new system update for the keyboard. This update is for all the MacTels including MacBook Pro. And guess the next thing... This update fix a power draw in the MacBook USB... Great... Oh, no, in fact not so great because this bug is THE bug that allows to stop the whine (through Mirror, etc)...
Is there anyone in Apple that tests fixes before to release them ? Do those engineers working on the whine fix have given a look to that patch ? I really hope that Apple is doing something, but releasing this Keyboard patch for MBP now can mean 3 things (IMHO) :
- the whine patch is on the final steps and will be released soon, so killing the workarounds for the whine is not a problem,
- or Apple has a partial (or even none) knowledge about this problem, and they should hire better engineers, because many people made a lot of discovers about this whine, not beeing engineers,
- or Apple definitly doesn't care about this whine problem, and they will loose myself as a customer (and probably others).

Short Battery Life and Very Slow Data on 4S

Short Battery Life and Very Slow Data on 4S,
anyone else noticing the slow speed of data on this phone?

Yes, I measure my slow data on Sprint in kpbs, not Mpbs. Like standard is download maybe 250kpbs, upload 100kpbs (that's 0.25 Mbps and 0.1 Mbps). On the same tower my buddy who has an AT&T iPhone 4 shows 2.5Mbps download and 1.5Mbps upload (that's 2500kbps and 1500kpbs), a LOT faster. Sprint has not been much help.

Hot battery and short battery life after download of Mountain Lion.

Hot battery and short battery life after download of Mountain Lion. Any suggestions?

As in, shortly after install?
Note after you install Mountain Lion it's likely that the Spotlight index will be rebuilt. This will take some time and the machine will run hot. After this completes, which could take 1-2 hours, things should return more to normal.
If they don't, I suggest running Activity Monitor and seeing if you can trace what is eating up CPU cycles.

Short battery life

hello
I have arch with gnome on my Toshiba laptop and i have very short battery life.
it ends after about 40min.
it seems to be problem in the system because when i open the computer it told me it have about 2hours and i put it on friend's laptop with vista and it told me i have 92% and 1:10hours left so i think there is(are) any or some process(es) that waste power and so short the battery life.
how can i manage the power consumption and by that to maximize battery life?
10x anyway

For starters, dim your display backlight. Set the system up to make it happen automatically. Have the shut the backlight off after more than a few minutes of inactivity.
Throttle your processor(s). Set up cpufreq and configure it to use an aggressive governor while operating on batteries. On laptops, you should also enable a governor such as "On demand" to help keep the system cool even when running on AC.
Don't do things that draw power. Try not to use the optical drive. If you want to watch movies, rip them to the hard disk while on AC, watch them from disk while on batteries, and delete them when you are done.
Look into the power management of your hard drive. You might look at allowing it to spin down when inactive, but I find this to not work real well under Linux. They tend to spin up and down a lot, negating the power savings.
See if you can shut things down. Wireless transmitters use a fair amount of power. So do the receivers while they are doing correlation (trying to synchronize to the chipping a spread spectrum channel). If you are not using wireless, shut it off. Look into whether your laptop can shut off other systems it is not using.
Minimize USB devices. They draw power from the system -- especially ipods and cellphones which charge their batteries from their host.
Laptop manufacturers spend a great amount of effort customizing certain operating systems from the American Pacific Northwest to maximize the battery performance of their systems. It can be expected that Linux require a little effort to optimize for power management as well.

Adobe Bridge is missing

Hi there,
For some reason my Adobe Bridge CS6 has gone missing, I have searched the drive and checked the trash but it is nowhere to be found.
I am using Creative Cloud on OSX, I have tried removing Ps and Ai and re-installing through the Application Manager but this would still not install the Bridge. I also tried downloading the trial of Ai but that would still not install it.
I have downloaded the updater for Adobe Bridge but this oviously fails as the application is not available, does anyone know how I can get Adobe Bridge back.
Many thanks
Dave

In my case this was caused by me keeping my application folder clean and moving into a sub folder called 'Adobe'. What I never knew was that a mac will replace a folder when you paste over the top whereas windows always merges the folder (you learn something new everyday).
To solve I simply copied the folder from a working mac and pasted back to mac with bridge missing. If you are on windows then I am not sure if it will work the same, but this is certainly working for me now.
Hope this helps. And I would be useful if there was a seperate download for it, it is only a file browser so it shouldn't matter if they have to give it away free anyway

Output in Bridge CC missing. Attempt to install fix from Bridge Help. WinZip failed. Now what?

The Output function in Bridge CC is missing. I attempted to install the fix that was available via Bridge help. The WinZip download worked fine. I found the recommended file location. The fix did not install. What else can I use? When will an update be available? Thanks.

In CC, I am forced to leave Bridge, go into the application, and Open the file through the system dialog box.
That is not normal behavior (at least on my Mac I still have all installed applications as option under this menu). By default the open with menu under the righty mouse menu should show all installed applications on your system. It sometimes even shows them double in case of attached disks with back up etc.
This has not changed in Bridge CC. If you have those applications installed on your system at the same location as Bridge they should show.
First try a reset of preferences for Bridge with holding down control key while restarting Bridge and choose rest preferences from the provided menu.
