Can i switch off my tc everyday when i don't use it? can this create troubleshot?

i want to switch off my time capsule every night (when i don't use my mac). Can this create troubleshot??

Opinions vary on this.
One camp reasons that if Apple designed the product to be switched off regularly, they would have included an "Off" switch on the device, or at least a means to turn it off from your computer. None of these options exist.
The same camp believes that it is better for an electronic component to be left on rather than powered off and powered back up constantly, which places more stress on the electronic components.
It's just like the engine in your car, they reason. It gets the most stress when it starts up. Reducing the stress prolongs the life of the device, but it uses more gasoline.
The other camp believes that it makes no difference whether you power up and power down on a regular basis, and they argue that this saves gasoline (electricity) as well.
But, this same group has trouble explaining why, if the device should be powered on and off regularly, that there is no "On" or "Off" switch on the device.
It is a fact that turning off the Time Capsule will force it to lose its connection to the network. Then, it has to re-establish that connection again when it powers up. Usually, it does but the chances of connection issues increase when you do this.
It is pretty clear what Apple wants you to do. But, it's up to you to decide what you want to do. If you also power down the modem every night, then you might try powering down the Time Capsule as well. This will save some electricity.
If you start to see that the Time Capsule is losing its network connection fairly often, then maybe you only turn off the Time Capsule when you will be away for longer periods of time.

My iphone does not automatically switch off the display light when locked. How do I fix this?

I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 8.2 software.
My iPhone does not automatically switch off the display light when it is locked. Therefore, if I get an e-mail/text message/pop-up from other application, the light just stays on, which obviously drains my battery.
The problem just started yesterday, and it has been a couple of days since I updated the software, so I wouldn't think the software update is the problem.
I have tried restarting the phone (using home and lock button), but that did not work.
Something else that seems weird is that once in a while, a blue beam rolls over the screen from one side to the other. I don't know why it does this, and have no idea whether this is related to the display light issue.
I hope someone is able to help by telling me what to do in order to get my phone to act normal again.
Thank you x

Restart your device by holding the home and power button until the Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data.

Can iPhone create feature which enable authorized user to key in password before switch off the phone? When phone is lost, it may prevent unauthorized user to switch off the phone, by this we can detect our phone's exact location.

Call your carrier and see if there is an outage in your area... Try re-setting the phone. Go to another location and see if the problem persists. Pay your phone bill. These are all possibilities. Without more information, we're just guessing.

Hi, vernon.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like you may have enabled the Zoom feature. Here are the steps on how to disable this feature.

What to do when my iPhone is asking for password of old apple I.D. when I don't have it and have created a new applie i.d. Can anyone please help me on this issue?

Can anyone please help me on this issue "What to do when my iPhone is asking for password of old apple I.D. when I don't have it and have created a new applie i.d."??

Sir, Thank you very much for your prompt response. I have already done this. But the problem is still persisting. Actually, I want to upgrade my WhattsApp application and as soon as I click the upgrade button in App Store, it asks for the password of previous apple i.d., which I don't have as I have bought this phone from somebody. There is no option for log out or log in. It there any other way out to upgrade the WhatsApp ????

Pb of autonomy when I don't use my ipod

Hello,
I have an ipod mini 2G since 2 years and when I don't use it, the autonomy is low : only 3 days. I fully load it and after 3 days without use, no more battery.
This issue exists since the beginning. I've have already changed the battery and regurlarly updated software without improvement,
is it normal or not ?
The autonomy when I use it seems correct : about 12 h maybe more,
Regards,
Gilles

I just don't understand one thing. Before last week I had no problems about it (I had wifi all the time, even when I did'nt use my iphone, and now (when I came back from holiday) it does'nt go anymore. So buying a iphone wasn't a good idea. I have wifi, but if I don't use my iphone it is not possibel to reach me because the wifi falls off.
I understand that it is for saving the battery. But I still don't understand that it stops working (my wifi).

EJB newbie: Why getters and setters when I don't use them?

I'd like to know why I have to write getters and setters in my bean implementaion class when I don't use them. I have SQL statements in my entity bean class that does querying and updates and I don't need to get or set individual fields of my databse.
This must be a very trivial question for many, but I really dont know the answer to this one.
Thanks.

You can't get rid of them because they are built into iOS. It's annoying I know.

When I don't use my iphone, my wifi connection stops

How to switch off internal macbook screen when using external monitor(s)

as far as i observed, adding external displays ( running different screens on them, not mirroring) to a macbook pro increases the gpu workload and with that comes temperature rise in the laptop and increase in ventilator noise - and probably increased hardware aging and risk of component faillure due to high temperature inside the laptop.
simply try connecting two external 27" screens and open some flash video on both of them. then run a temperature monitoring software and watch temps rise, compared to running same flash videos / demanding tasks only on one connected external screen or only on the laptop screen with no external monitor connected.
especially in mavericks, due to its increased background routines, such a set-up appears ever the more taxing, then again who does not love apple`s nice adds showing laptops with two 27” screens connected to it and the workspace vision they invoke....
i have seen temps around 100° to 102° celsius on a 13" macbook pro 2012 edition, which i would expect is territory where the cpu / gpu temp safety switches will trigger system shutdown any time soon ( hardware status before verified as fully in order by apple service and default osx installation)
imagine your anti-virus software starting some realtime content screening while runnign some demanding tasks already and the system shuts down easily (all such situation observed in reality)
(would be interesting to see how a retina display macbook fares with 2 external monitors running demanding tasks, considering the retina display already increased taxing for the gpu - any experience from users of such a setup would be very much appreciated as it will provide critical purchase decision intelligence for all of us envisioning a retina-book and two big screens adoring our desks...)
turning down the macbook`s built-in screen`s backlight may reduce power consumption but i have not seen any evidence that it switches off the gpu-to-screen feed and respective gpu load - it certainly did not prevent gpu, cpu, board, etc temps to rise to borderline levels.
so the key question here is, how to switch off the macbook pro`s built-in screen in order to avoid gpu cycles being wasted on that screen ( and the resulting heat developments) when working with big external screen(s) connected to the laptop ?

this thread talks about running several monitors as advertised by apple and running demanding task on them.
with the lid open, the keyboard offers a very efficiant heat escape vector, which is blocked when the lid is closed - this is a basic and commonsense insulation effect. this thread also mentions the use of temperature monitoring software and thus a repeatable test setup. the temps recorded were also mentioned. they rose when the lid was closed, the running task remaining unchanged. as far as i could track down the cpus in discussion will shut down around the 105 degree celsius range. i observed system shut downs when the system approached 103° celsius. not to mention that the fans will run loud well before that.
again this is on hardware checked and ok-ed by apple service.
the question still welcoming an expert answer: is there any way to switch off the built-in macbook monitor while the lid is open ?

TS2634 Ipad 3 cover fault - magnetic switch off doesn't work. Anyone found a way to make this work please?

Ipad 3 cover fault - magnetic switch doesn't work to switch off ipad when cover is closed. Anyone found a way to make this work please?

Has this problem just cropped up or has it been there all along.
The iPad 3 requires a Smart Cover with magnet aligned only in a certain way. This was not the case for the previous models of iPads. So some older covers will work with the newer iPads because their magnets just happened to be aligned just right. Other covers will not.

Charging with iPod cord. Seems to be charging even when it says not charging in the upper right corner. Is this what happens when I don't use it's charger? And is that ok?

Charging iPad 2 with IPod cord. Seems to be charging even when it say not charging in the upper right corner. Is it because I'm not using the cord it came with, and is it ok to use an iPod cord.

The dock connector to USB cables are interchangeable on the iPod and iPad. That's not a problem. You must be trying to charge using a USB port on your Computer. If the port supplies enough power, the iPd will charge albeit very very slowly - as long as the Computer is turned on and it is awake.
You should really use the power adapter that comes with the iPad and it will charge much faster. Using the iPod cord is fine - switch to the supplied power adapter for the best results.
