Does shutting off the Touch save battery more than putting to sleep?

Hi, just found out today that I had been putting my new 2nd gen Touch in sleep
mode as opposed to shutting it off completely. Now that I have learned how to shut it off does this really increase the battery life as opposed to just having it in sleep mode? Also should I be shutting off wi-fi when I'm not using that feature to save the battery? I'm still confused about how to get the most from my battery life. Thanks

A sleeping iPod consumes almost no battery. If you'll use it again in a couple of hours, shutting it off might actually drain the battery faster since restarting puts some strain on it as well.
As for WiFi, shutting that off (as well as the Push feature) will definitely save battery.

Hope this helps.

  • I have been taking photos for years and have thousands.  When I use Apple TV screen saver, it seems only to grab a handfull and repeats them.  Is there a configuration setting that will allow me to have the screen saver grab more than just a few?  Thanks.

    The device has an 8GB drive for caching streamed meida, a small portion of that is used to temporarily store photos for the screensaver. It may vary depending on resolution etc but it seems to be around 100.

  • Why does does my MacbookPro screen keeps shutting off when I open it more than halfway?

    I Have a very new Mac, and for some reason, the screen goes black when I open it more than halfway. It happens to all the users, and even if it is or isn't charging. The brightening keys also doesn't do anything for it. I don't know if this is connected, but I also have half of the lights on at the dock, it kind of looks like lights on a stage.......
    please help if you can. i can't live like this anymore! 

    Anything that is repeatable can be fixed at the genius bar.
    You appointment for an evaluation is free at an Apple store, in warranty or out.

    Now you swipe downward, the app will appear and you delete, keep scolling to the right as in the past.  With the new operating system you also swipe downward to get the search bar to find an app

  • IPhone5 shuts off at around 30% battery.

    My iPhone5 will just shut off between 25-35% battery. It's on the very latest iOS–7.1. Anyone else having this problem and have a way to solve? This is incredibly frustrating to have my phone just die when it should have an hour or more left. It should at least accurately relate battery life, e.g. 10% or something.

  • Shutting off the TV also shuts off ATV.

    I have the latest ATV. It is connected to my Home theater system using HDMI. The TV is connected to the amplifier by HDMI. I want to shut down the TV while the music is streamed from my computer. When I  shut off the TV the ATV also shuts down. Actually it doesn't really shut down, when I turn on the TV the music selection is merely paused. This occurs using Ethernet or WI-FI. It doesn't matter if I use a remote or the power button on the TV. The ATV power connection is on a different outlet. Any clues?

  • MB Pro shuts off at around 85% battery power.

    I've been using the power adapter pretty much all the time with my MBP but now that I've been using it on battery power it has automatically shut off at around 85% battery power. I haven't always had the battery in while using the charger but for the last year I have. I'm not sure if that has any relevance.

    Actually, it IS within the specification +for battery health+, which is what I stated above. Apple states, +"A properly maintained Apple notebook battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 300 full charge and discharge cycles."+ This is based on the reading for Full Charge Capacity in System Profiler. BGTD's full charge capacity is 5081 mAh, and the nominal new full charge capacity of a 15" MBP battery is 5500 mAh (rounded down, the calculated value is actually 5556 mAh). Even of the OP has a 17" MBP, the battery is still within health (though barely so - the denominator for a 17" MBP battery is 6300 mAh.
    So, despite having an acceptable capacity (i.e., 'health'), the OP's MBP is shutting down with only 15% of the capacity used. As I stated, that's a symptom of a faulty battery.
    Furthermore, you are also incorrect when you state, +"if your MBP is over 1 year old, Apple will NOT replace your battery."+ You can certainly state that Apple did not replace your battery free of charge, and I'm sorry for that! On the other hand, my health dropped suddenly to ~60% when my MBP was 16 months old. I +do not+ have AppleCare, and despite that, the Genius Bar replaced my battery for free. The page that I linked to (the top link) states, +"This program extends repair coverage on the battery for up to two years from the date of purchase of the computer for Intel Core Duo-based MacBook and MacBook Pro computers."+ I also pointed out that I am aware of Apple having replaced (for free) batteries of users with Core 2 Duo MBPs under the same program.
    As I stated, the best bet is for the BGTD is to visit an Apple Store or call AppleCare and request a replacement battery, based on the information above. The answer may be "no," but I'd argue that it's worth a little effort to try and save US$130, given that there are known and Apple-acknowledged issues with some notebook batteries.

  • My iPhone 5 running ios7 shuts off at 20-30% battery

    My phone shuts off randomly when tjhe battery is about 20-30% - I plug in to charge and it will tell me I have more than the battery charge than i saw before it shut off. - I have wipped clean and reinstalled fresh operating system  - 3 times - did not help - Apple gunius bar ( went twice - same issue ) would not help - said battery was healthy - and i had to figure it out cause they were not going to fix it.
    what do i do now...

    This is happening to me as well. Tried restoring the phone and setting it up from a backup and the issue was resolved for a few days, then the issue came back. Guess we'll make a Genius Bar appointment.

  • EMac Panther - Using external monitor, I want to shut off the main monitor.

    Hello guys and gals. I have an eMac with Panther. I'm using the VGA adapter so I can use a nice LCD TV as my screen. It works great and as you may know, it will only mirror the main screen (both screens show the same thing).
    What I want to do is shut off the eMac Monitor (crt) and only use the external LCD through the VGA Adapter. Is this possible?
    Thanks in advance!
    -Monty

    Try using the Desktop & Screen Saver pane of System Preferences to set a hot corner on the display and using that corner to sleep it. If that doesn't work, it can't be done.

  • I was wondering if there is a way to shut off the install mode on my G3 every time I plug in the USB to my Mac. I have an android manager software Mobile Go that this seems to be preventing it from connecting

    I was wondering if there is a way to shut off the install mode on my G3 every time I plug in the USB to my Mac. I have an android manager software Mobile Go that this seems to be preventing it from connecting

        as62467 We appreciate your G3 question! Let's see how we can help. What you are able to adjust is the USB connection mode by going to the home screen and selecting'recent apps' (in the touch keys bar), settings,storage, the menu (the 3 tiny dots) and tap usb pc connection. If you do not want the software to try and install choose either the internet connection or camera option. Let us know if this helps.

  • Is there a way to shut off the cellular radio ?

    Is there a way to shut off the cellular radio ?
    I can go to “settings” and switch off cellular data.  However I still see the signal strength meter and my iPhone will ring if called.
    I thought there was a way to shut off the cellular radio in an iPhone and keep the Wi-Fi turned on.

    When you turn Airplane mode on, it does turn all the radios off. You can, however, turn the WiFi and bluetooth back on.
    Enjoy.

  • Turn off the screen saver is greyed out in Presentation Settings

    Hi,
    We are using Windows 7, and want to allow laptop users the ability to "turn off the screen saver" when they are running presentations. However, this option is greyed out and the box is not selectable.
    We have the usual screen saver group policies, i.e. enable screen saver, Prevent changing the screen saver, screen saver timeout, and force specific screen saver. I have tried to Disable all these apart from Enable screen saver, since if I disable this then
    it says users cannot change screen saver options, so I left this one as enabled.
    However, the "Turn off the screen saver" box is still greyed out. Does anyone know which group policy setting will enable this option?
    Also, is there a way to keep the screen saver settings and also be able to use Presentation Settings, so that the screen saver does not come on and lock the machine in mid presentation?
    I've seen some sites mention utilities that run in the background and simulate mouse clicks, but we're not allowed to run these kind of utilities, and no forums seem to be able to provide an answer to this problem.
    Thxs.

    Hi,
    >>i.e. enable screen saver, Prevent changing the screen saver, screen saver timeout, and force specific screen saver. I have tried to Disable all these apart from
    Enable screen saver,
    Before going further, please make sure that the group policy settings were applied correctly. We can run cmd command
    gpresult/v or gpresult/z on clients to collect group policy to check this.
    Besides, if the issue persists, we can try setting all these settings to
    Not Configured.
    >>Also, is there a way to keep the screen saver settings and also be able to use Presentation Settings, so that the screen saver does not come on and lock the machine
    in mid presentation?
    Based on the description, it is not easy to do this. However, we can reduce the effect of screen saver by choosing to not enable
    Password protect the screen saver, and not set the setting
    On resume, display logon screen on Screen Saver Settings dialogue box. Besides, we need to not let our power plan settings lock out the computer within a short time.
