  • Does using bluetooth headphones dramatically decrease battery life in ipod 5

    I have a 64gb version of the Itouch 5 and recently started using jaybird brand bluetooth headphhones. At first everything worked fine but now the battery inthe Ipod only lasts 4 hours even when niot using it.  Has there been any known issues with this?

    Yes, and no. The headphones aren't sucking the battery out of your 5th Generation iTouch. USING BLUETOOTH, will. Its like running a game on your iPod for a while. It will drain the battery more quickly than with just listening to music. So running apps, bluetooth, etc, WILL shorten your battery life.
    HOW TO FIX IT:
    When you are not using the headphones, turn the bluetooth off through the general settings in your itouch. Then, while you aren't running the headphones, it won't suck the battery life out. When you use the headphones, turn bluetooth back on. Leaving bluetooth on is still leaving the iPod in bluetooth mode, which is running down the battery because it takes extra charge to run bluetooth. Hope this helps!

  • Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops?

    Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops? I assume it would show the new price in the Wish List but does it inform you if the price drops?

    The apps which show on the file sharing section on your iPad when connected to your computer's iTunes, you have exactly the same apps installed on your iPhone - they are not separate iPad and iPhone apps that you have installed on your iPad/iPhone, and only the iPad version supports file sharing ?
    For iBooks, that won't show, it doesn't support file sharing. You can add ibooks / epubs / PDFs to your computer's iTunes library (the iBooks app if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it) via File > Add To Library, and you sync them to a device via its Books tab :
    If you want to copy them off the device to your computer's iTunes (to the iBooks app on Mavericks) then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases will copy them over (that will copy PDFs and epubs from the iBooks app on your device, not just ibooks).

  • I downloaded an AudioBook onto my iPad due to battery life.  Now I want to have it on my iPhone which is one of the appliances that is authorized for my icloud account, but I can't find it anywhere.  What gives?

    I downloaded an AudioBook from iTunes onto my iPad due to battery life.  Now I want to have it on my iPhone which is one of the appliances that is authorized for my iCloud account, but I can't find it anywhere other than the iPad.  How do I get access on my iPhone?

    It will only be where you put it.
    If it is on the ipad then transfer it to your computer, File>Devices>Transfer Purchases, then sync it to your iphone

  • Does messaging to/from iPhone to/from iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch count as a text charge for Verizon?

    My dad has an iPad 2 and my little brother has an iPod Touch (4th generation). As long as there is a Wi-Fi signal, they are able to message, Facetime, and use the internet all for "free" (no extra charges from our internet service provider, which is obvious).
    My dad recently purchased an iPhone 4S from Verizon.
    He is currently on the "Pay As You Go" plan for messages ($0.20/text and $0.25/picture and video).
    When are messages free, and when are they not free? Are they free as long as there is a Wi-Fi signal? Are they free as long as it is from the iPhone to another iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch? Do I get charged for data only when I see the "3G" symbol displayed in the upper left corner of the iPhone?
    Thanks in advance!

    I then turned Wi-Fi off on the iPhone 4S but had "Send as SMS" turned on, tried sending another message to the Touch (Wi-Fi activated), and it did not send at all (because the Touch is SMS-incapable).
    That sort of makes sense, but even with wi-fi off the 4S should have been able to send the iMessage over 3G to the Touch, which was on wi-fi.  Your results would only make sense if the 4S didn't have 3G service, or if the iMessage servers were down, or if you've turned iMessage off completely on the 4S.  That would force the message to go out as SMS but the Touch can't receive SMS.
    Sorry, I was a bit unclear there.
    I had both Wi-Fi and Cellular Data (3G) turned off to see if "Send as SMS" alone would work if I was sending a message to an SMS-incapable device (to see if the iPhone would try anyway and to see if I would get charged for that).
    I'll type out some scenarios, and tell me if I'm wrong on these. They might seem redundant since you have pretty much answered all my questions, but I want to make absolutely sure that I understand. These could also clear things up for others who will/have read this discussion.
    Scenarios involving iPhone 4S to iPod Touch (both running iOS 5):
    4S has Wi-Fi, 3G, and "Send as SMS" turned on. Touch has Wi-Fi turned on.
    4S can iMessage to Touch via Wi-Fi (as long as there is a Wi-Fi signal) free of charge and will remain free of charge and with no accrued data usage because 4S prioritizes Wi-Fi before 3G before SMS.
    Once out of range of the Wi-Fi signal, 3G kicks in and any iMessages sent from 4S to Touch will count towards data plan usage (in my dad's case, 300MB/$20 per month - the minimum plan). However, data size will be insignificantly small if it's a simple words-only message and will only be a fraction of a percentage of the 300 MB.
    My dad turns off Cellular Data (3G), Wi-Fi is still out of range, and he sends a message (keep in mind that "Send as SMS" is still turned on). Because the Touch is not capable of sending/receiving SMS messages, the message will just fail to send.
    These scenarios would also have the same outcome if the Touch had been a Wi-Fi-only iPad. If the iPad had 3G capability, the message received from the 4S would have added towards the data plan usage of the iPad.
    Scenarios involving iPhone 4S to another iPhone (both running iOS 5):
    Both phones have Wi-Fi, 3G, and "Send as SMS" turned on. Messaging plan for each phone is "Pay as You Go" - $0.20/text and $0.25/picture or video.
    iMessages are free and do not count towards data plan usage if both currently have strong Wi-Fi signals.
    4S still has strong Wi-Fi signal, other iPhone gets out of Wi-Fi range and switches to 3G. Any messages received by the other iPhone from the 4S will count towards data plan usage of the other iPhone. However, the outgoing message from the 4S will still be free and will not count towards data plan usage.
    Other iPhone turns off 3G and is still out of Wi-Fi range but still has "Send as SMS" turned on. 4S (with strong Wi-Fi signal) sends message, "I love you." to other iPhone. The message will still be free and will not count towards data plan usage for 4S but will charge $0.20 to other iPhone.
    Scenario involving iPhone 4S to Samsung Galaxy 2 (running Android OS):
    4S has Wi-Fi, 3G, and "Send as SMS" turned on.
    Any message sent from 4S to Galaxy will count as SMS because Galaxy is incapable of iMessage. Therefore, Wi-Fi and 3G are insignificant, and 4S is charged $0.20.
    4S has Wi-Fi, 3G, and "Send as SMS" turned off.
    4S will not be capable of sending anything.
    4S has Wi-Fi and 3G turned on, but "Send as SMS" is turned off.
    4S has strong Wi-Fi signal, but message will not be sent to Galaxy.
    4S gets out of Wi-Fi range and 3G kicks in, but message will not be sent to Galaxy and no data usage will have occurred.
    That should be everything...at least everything I've considered.
    Again, thank you.

  • Hi. Does using the cover lock help battery life?

    Hi. Does using the cover lock help battery life?

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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 (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%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    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.

    Thanks,

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device without using any backup would be the next step:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

    You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
    This is a confusing statement. Can really move the rental between devices or not???  

    If you originally downloaded it to a computer, yes. If you originally downloaded it to an iOS device, probably not; if you want to try anyway, use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes.

  • My iphone is currently using battery life much more quickly than inthe past, and it also has an icon tht is starying on the screen, to the left of the battery charge percentage, that looks like a lock with a circle around it

    i have an iphone that is using battery life much more quickly than in the past, a full charge is going to zero in a half a day or so, with out much use.
    an icon is also appearing next to the charge percentage in the top right, and the icon is a circle around a lock
    can anyone tell me what the problem is, and what the icon means?

    The Icon meas your display orientation is locked to vertical so it wont change when you turn the phone sideways.
    First thing you should check with the battery life is multitasking, which also happens to be where the orientation lock can be turned off.  check out   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211 and go from there

  • Why iPhone, iPad, iPod cameras don't connect to desktops/laptops /macmini,

    why iPhone, iPad, iPod cameras don't connect to desktops/laptops /macmini, why... ...
    Mr. jobs would hv helped me
    it it just so simple ...these people are working on icloud, photostream etc etc
    think .....if we have a wireless link with the camera of iphone we can record movies and carry out editing at the same moment on desktops that too wirlesssly
    its just like have a one way facetime with our desktops......wow
    eventually apple people will come up with this same idea later some time
    but the question is why it doesnt connect why?

    They do.
    Standby = press the Power button
    Power off = Press and hold Power button then slide the red power off slider.
    Reset = Press and hold both Reset adn Home till you see the Apple logo.
    This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.
    Because it is better to not push the power button and more enjoyable to not push it?
