Charge time for New 8GB Nano?, Charge time for New 8GB Nano?
I just got an 8GB nano today and I did not see a time given for the initial charge...
I took it out of the box, read the little teensie instruction booklet, plugged 'er in and loaded up with some songs..still plugged in, and I assume charging, though the display is now off after I "ejected" it from iTunes.
a buddy says overnight. I'm hoping it's not that long, but I want to do what's best for the battery's longevity.
Thanks for any info!

My iPad will not charge and every time I charge it. It comes up with the iTunes icon and I will not charge, it is not a new I pad and the same charger I use for the I pad I use for my I phone and it will charge. What is wrong?
What exactlyare you seeing on the iPad's screen ? If it's the iTunes icon and a cable then that means that it's gone into recovery mode - you will need to connect it to your computer's iTunes and you should be able to use that to reset it back to factory defaults and you can then restore/resync your content to it.

I just got a new ipod 5 and when I plugged in the charging cord that came with it, it says it is not supported, and may not charge. It worked the first few times, but now it won't charge at all.

- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The cable as well as the iPod, is covered by the warranty.

I have an ipod touch and an ipod nano. I also used to have a laptop but, it quit working and I no longer have it. I had all of my music on my laptop. So, I had to buy a new desktop. I lost my ipod touch at around the same time. I had all of my music on the ipod touch that was from my laptop. So in thye meantime I started using my nano more. I bought new songs on my desktop for my nano. Then I found my ipod touch. I would like to be able to keep both the somgs I have now on my ipod touch and the ones that I already bought on the desktop. What do I do?
No.
All iTunes content on your iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and your iTunes library on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only.
When music was purchased on a CD, if the CD was lost and you returned to the store where the CD was purchased with your receipt, were you given a replacement CD?
The same applies here. -
I recently purchased the new nano (7th generation) and I love it except for one issue. On my old 2nd generation nano, when I played podcasts, it would play podcasts one at a time. So if I had 20 episodes of a podcast on the device, it would stop at the end of each one.
With the new nano, I can select and play a podcast, but when it’s over, it goes straight to the next one without prompting. It keeps on playing all of the episodes of any podcast until you stop it manually. Setting the repeat function differently does not prevent episodes from being played automatically.
This can be very irritating when I only want to listen to one podcast. I’ve often fallen asleep listening to one episode of a podcast, only to be woken up hours later by the iPod working its way through all subsequent episodes. It is also annoying that any podcast which has started automatically in this way is marked as ‘played’ – even if you stop it within a few seconds. This makes it hard to keep track of what you have actually listened to.
Is there any way to set the iPod to play all the podcasts individually? I have read the User Guide from cover to cover, and can’t find a way of doing this.
MDDude or hot-spur,
Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
Thank you again -

do i have to charge my replacement macbook pro batter for a certain amount of time before using the computer?
First, if you have a Late 2008 or older MacBook Pro, you should calibrate the battery, as the battery for these MacBooks don't come precalibrated > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Then, the battery should come charged, so use it until the battery percentage is low, and then, charge it. You can use your Mac while your battery is being charged, and your MacBook will stop charging the battery when your battery is full, so you can unplug it at any moment -
HT204380 Are you charged for the use of face time?
Are you charged for the use of face time?
Currently FaceTime only works over Wi-Fi, so no, you don't get charged for using it. You just have to pay your monthly internet bill to pay for the Wi-Fi.

a have tried everyting now a dont have a clue what too do??
Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good. If your computer/iTunes does not recognize the iPad, then the cable is probably bad.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Cheers, Tom -
We started out as having a single plan and later changed to shared family. When we did this we ordered phones for each person; the single plan user and 3 more. When I received the phones, I couldn't get the phones set up. I called customer service and a nice guy spent over 2 hours getting everything worked out. However, they gave us 4 new phone numbers when I had told them I only needed three, the other would remain the same. So, this "nice guy" said he would change the extra phone number to a test device and I wouldn't be charged. Unfortunately I don't do the bills and only recently realized that I have been charged since day 1. That would be 20 months at 9.95! I have several times and was basically told two things, depending on the person. One person said that I needed to talk to such and such a person at a certain phone number. I got nowhere. The last time I called I received a very snide, sarcastic guy who actually laughed at me on the phone because I couldn't get anything done about the situation. He then just kept reading his script. I will be contacting the appropriate people on this fraudulent situation. I will not take this criminal bahavior anymore. On the bright side, the longer it takes them to refund my money, the better my compensation.
Now my latest ordeal with Verizon. I just ordered 4 new phones, crazy, I know! It took my two entire days trying to get these phones ordered. Finally, another nice guy helped me and after many attempts, he made the suggestion of trying a different card. I told him that my other card didn't have enough credit available for all the phones. So, he suggested we try ordering two and see if the problem was with my initial card. He told me that the card doesn't go through immediately and he could change it back to the first card right away. I asked him just before finishing the chat if I needed to take care of anything to change the charge and he said, "I told you I would take care of that". Guess what, the charge was never changed . I've made one call so far and have not gotten anywhere. Perhaps I'll just add it onto my first case and charge them for all of it at once.<< Comment removed >> Yes, I educated myself on the cost of changing providers before I made the switch. Verizon bills all my bills one month in advance, not only on the first bill, and I was expecting the pro-rating, and agree that is not being overbilled. I know that applies to new lines as well, and am aware of the $35 data activation fee that is charged, again not overbilling. Your assumptions about my situation are incorrect. My overbilling was as follows:
1) VZ billed me for a suspension of service on a line when I exchanged a tablet I purchased from a VZ store. They even agreed that this was overbilling and refunded the charges (~$17).
2) VZ then set up a new line without my agreement for the new tablet instead of connecting it to the existing line. I was charged an additional activation fee ($35) for the second line. The tablet should have been connected to the existing line, which was unused, and for which I had already paid the $35 activation fee, this is duplicate (over) billing.
3) I contacted VZ before traveling to CAN and asked the agent to place me on a plan (prior to my trip) that would cover my phone and data usage. We agreed on the US/CAN coverage and the Global Data plan. The switch was not made correctly and I ended up only on the Global Data plan. I received a text message upon arriving in CAN, notifying me of additional charges that might apply to calls since I was out of my coverage area. I called VZ immediately and was again told that my plan was active, that the message was a mistake and that I should ignore it. The bill for that period had just under $250 of usage charges related exclusively to calls in CAN instead of the $19.95 increase to my monthly plan. Again, this is incorrect (over) billing.
4) As soon as I saw the bill referenced in #3, I called VZ and began working with (very nice) individuals in customer service. On three separate calls I was told that they could see the reference to changing my plan (in the notes) and would provide a refund within 48 hours. This never happened. On the third call I spoke with a supervisor who directed me to partially pay my bill based on a calculation of the refund he was submitting (again, to go through in 48 hours). I had the supervisor send me an email so I had evidence of his direction. After partially paying the bill, I was charged a late fee for not paying my bill in full ($5), received a message that my services might be terminated, and my next bill included ~$35 in usage fees for calls to CAN instead of $19.95 for the updated plan.
I called customer service yesterday, was again told that the refund was imminent, placed on hold so the individual could further review my bill, and after about 15 minutes the phone was picked up by a different person who had no background on my situation, which has happened on several of my calls to customer service. It was at that point that I told them I was done, leaving VZ, and was transferred to the Customer Retention specialist. After an hour and a half on the phone, I received a partial refund (just over $200), but am still owed about $70 before tax and other adjustments.
I can't imagine that any one could defend this as (1) proper billing, (2) decent customer service. I am totally happy paying my bills in full, paying the associated charges, etc., but I do not want to have to spend 4-6 hours per billing cycle on the phone with customer service trying to get my bills corrected. I also know it will probably cost me $1,500-2,000 to switch back to AT&T, plus the inconvenience. I am willing to make the switch if any further issues come up, as I simply can't spend time dealing with this every month.

Time and date reseting - Faulty charger? Please help!
Hi,
I have a macbook pro (summer 2011 model). My charger broke so I bought a cheaper, non branded replacement online as my husband has a macbook and has the same replacement charger for around one year and never had any problems. While waiting for my replacement to arrive, when charging my macbook with my husbands charger, it completely cut out, totally dead! When I turned it back on the date had reset to 2000 and I got an error message that reads something like, "The date and time have been resest to a date before 2001. Some applications may not perform correctly....." - something along those lines!
Today my new, non-branded charger arrived and the same thing has happened 4 times. If it wasn't for the fact that this has only ever happened when being charged with one of these AND 4 times today with the new one, I would have thought the two not connected. But now I am convinced.
I must add that for a period of a week befor my charger arrived I borrowed a friends Apple charger as my husband needed to take his to work.
So my macbook never had this problem before, then it occured when using my husbands charger, then was fine for a week with an apple charger and has now happened again with the new one!
Has anyone else had this problem? Is it the charger that is the problem or something in my macbook that is somehow being triggered by the charger?? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
I know that I should have just bought a proper Apple charger to start with but c'est la vie!
Thanks,
KirbyWith my friends apple charger eveything was totally normal. Her family all have macs from different years so i'm not sure which charger she will have leant me (i'm guessing it would probably be quite a modern one though as they always have up-to-date kit!).
My husband has an old macbook, from roughly 2006/2007, the charger he is using now I bought from amazon quite a while ago. As I mentioned, he has had no problems with it but I did. Before I had these problems I re-ordered the same charger for me as it had been pretty good.
So my macbook pro was fine with a proper apple charger, then it broke and i ordered a new non-apple charger, in the meantime borrowed my husbands non-apple charger a couple of times and my computer kept cutting out. Then borrowed a friends proper apple charge and had no problems at all for a whole week. Then today my new non-apple charger shows up and so far my macbook pro has cut out 3/4 times when plugged in. Totally fine when unplugged.
Thanks for your response, I hope this is clear!

Battery time remaining (how to properly charge macbook pro retina)
I'm a new macbook user, using a macbook pro 15 inch. I've been plugging in my charger when the battery gets down to around 20% and unplugging it when the light turns green (at 100%). I thought macbooks had a battery life of around 7-8 hours, but at fully charged, my time remaining (when I click on the battery icon the top right) says 5 hours. Can a more experienced user correct me on as to what I am doing wrong in charging my macbook?
Two points: The 'Time' setting is one of the most unreliable pieces of information on your MBP. I set mine to '%'. What it tries to show is based on what the MBP is doing at that very instant. If you open Activity Monitor, you will see that the internal processing is very volatile.
What Apple advertises as time on a full charge is based on ultra conservative settings and use. It doe not reflect the 'real' world. Read the fine print and note the words 'up to', nor will, guaranty or promise.
Your battery run time will be a reflection of what applications you have open and the respective resources these applications require.
Here is a link to some good information regarding your MBP battery and its usage. This will give you something to do for the rest of the afternoon.
