Does the backlight affect the battery life? & new update problems...?

i've been told that affects the battery life and i like mine bright but if it affects battery i will keep it down..
and does anyone else notice that the new update is glitchy? or is this just me..?

When did you purchase it and how much memory does it have? Does it have volume buttons on the side? Is the black plastic antenna window on the back oval, or is it square and cover the corner of the iPod?

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.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

HT4211 In the new iPad update how do I shut down apps running in the background to preserve battery life?

Now that I downloaded the new iPad update, how do I shut down apps running in the background to preserve battery life?

in iOS 7, double click the Home Button (the round one on the front).
You will see icons for all open apps with a 'screenshot' above each icon. Simply drag any 'screenshot' upwards using 1 finger to close the app.
Most apps don't use much power when inactive but some do including Sat Nav apps

Why doesn't the Macbook Pro's battery life last?

Why doesn't the Macbook Pro's battery life last anywhere near 5 hours, as advertised? This is my second one and it lasts 2. It's false advertising, and Apple doesn't seem to making a big deal or know anything about it, which i'm sure they do. Since their general practice is to deny problems exist in all their products, i'm here to make it known that the most recent Macbook Pro has a severe battery issue and it needs to be addressed.
I'm running OS X 10.8.3, Bluetooth is off, and haven't installed any third party software.

My MacBook Pro is over a year old and still gets 2.5 to 5 hours, depending on how intensively my application activity is hitting the CPU and disk. Remember that battery life depends on usage and component loads. You could get 1 hour editing HD video since it would hit all cores and slam the disk constantly, or 8 hours in a cabin in the woods with wifi and Bluetooth turned off, only writing text files, and with the backlight turned down and no disc in the drive. You should check Activity Monitor to make sure you don't have some processes using unusually high amounts of CPU for long periods of time (like browser tabs running Flash ads in the background, chewing up CPU and battery power without even being seen).
Like mende1 says, there are not huge numbers of Mac users getting only 2 hours, or the world would have heard about it by now and MacBook sales would be down. If you are only getting 2 hours there is something going on local to your machine or usage habits.

That's not strictly true. Apple has often announced updates or repair/exchange programs to address various problems that had come up over time. Maybe not always, but it does happen. They also have often helped me and my friends when we brought in Macs that were out of warranty and had problems. They had no legal obligation to work on our Macs for free, but they did anyway.

How does condition category affect the price procedure

Hello Gurus,
     there is a case as following:
if the condition type in the pricing analysis says in a billing document that the condition is found and set, and one is using the condition requirement number 024 (which only determines the price in billing document) yet still has to do new pricing in order to obtain the condition record, Should the condition category be blank, the system would propose the message condition is found and set but does not provide an actual condition record.
   the fault would be that the condition category on the condition type should be equal to L.
   so my question is " how does condition category affect the price procedure" ? thanks very much!

Hi Zhang,
-->Condition category is a classification of conditions according to predefined criteria.
-->These categories include packaging costs, delivery costs, output taxes and discounts.
-->The classification of conditions by condition categories can be used for analysis.
I hope it will clear for you
Regards,
Murali.

Found the reason why my battery life was short

As topic says, I found the reason why my battery life was short.
Having had the Iphone 4 since launch, I've always been impressed by the battery life.
So when it started to go from 100% to 50% overnight, with no use I started wondering what caused this.
I my case it was the wireless network, before I used to have just one wireless router, but recently I bought a accesspoint using it as a signal repeater(booster), giving me 100 % wifi coverage at home.
Since the repeater has the same wireless SSID as the router it seems to confuse the iphone, making it switch between connecting to the router and the accesspoint nonstop and therefore draining the battery.
Disconnected the accesspoit and now things are back to normal.

If you have just one wireless router you can't turn the accesspoint off, you could try turning wifi off on the phone and see if that helps.
In my case the wifi range of the router and the accesspoint overlapped each other, making the iphone constantly switch between them.

After ios5 upgrade can no longer increase font size on iPad or iPhone, any suggestions apart from getting new glasses!! Also the backlight on the iPad isn't as bright as before. Any ideas?

Hi Zak, thanks for the reply.
The filename is whatever is set to be the background fill of the site (I presume the desktop background fill, if mobile versions are set to be different). I've tried a number of different files, sizes and types/formats and the result is still the same, so as far as I can tell it's not the file itself causing the issue...
It uploads all pages (desktop, tablet and phone versions), .css files and .html files, and even the favicon .ico file but then hangs on the first image file, which incidentally is the background fill image.
The total number of files is said to be 154. It gets stuck on file number 24.
Yes the "Resume" dialog appears and upon clicking it just attempts to continue from the hang at the first image file (apparently 66% of the way through).
Re: the "BC site has changed" part - I thought as much but figured worth reporting.
... Incidentally, as I've written this reply, I left the "Resume" dialog open (ie neither clicking "resume" or "cancel" and just as I've finished typing it appears to have published the site successfully?!! (I must've left it for roughly 5 minutes)
Bizarre behaviour... I'm not sure if this will repeat itself with other sites but I'm sure there's a bug here that needs looking at regardless...?!
Any thoughts?

Does the plugins affect the speed when opening a website??

I did a test, Opened the the website <a href="http://www.zowellforklifts.com.es/ ">http://www.zowellforklifts.com.es/</a> on Firefox and Chrome.
Firefox spent 8.3s, while Chrome 4.1s. Why?
Firefox I installed several plugin,but Chrome none.
Did the plugin affect the speed?
Do I need to test other site <a href="http://www.shlongji">http://www.shlongji</a>:??

If a page has multiple items on it handled by plugins, for example a page loaded with Flash ads, that can certainly affect page loading. Every one of the plugin items must load with the page, so it is slower. If you control which plugin items will load, you can speed up things.

HT4759 Does I Cloud use more battery life

Does I Cloud use more battery life?

I suspect that if you turn on the backlight to look at the artwork, the backlight uses battery juice. I doubt the physical presence or absence of album art uses any more juice.
BTW, I don't believe the album art uses a "**** of a lot of MB". It probably only adds a few KB to the song file since it is so small.

Can my blue tooth keyboard affect iPad battery life?

For some reason my battery life isn't as long as it once was and it hit me that it may be from leaving the blue tooth keyboard in the on position. Would this run the battery down more quickly?

My experience with using a BT keyboard is that it has a negligible affect on battery life. The connection drops if I'm not using it for a while and picks up again when I start typing. I am using a Logitech keyboard designed specifically for iPads.

If i download CAD software how will it affect my battery life and macbook speed?

If i download CAD software how will it affect my battery life and computer speed?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
CAD software requires the best CPU and GPU performance, so your battery life will be affected while running CAD apps. The same will happen with your computer performance with other apps, so if you do not need any application while using CAD apps, it is better to close them.
However, your battery life and your computer performance will be the same if they are closed. The only exception would be if your MacBook's hard drive is running out of free space

Will the iPod nano 7 get a new update from the current 1.0.3?

Apple might release small updates for 4th generation iPods touch if they find serious issues like the FaceTime problem that made Apple release iOS 6.1.5 for the 4th generation iPod touch. However, this device won't receive any major iOS update.
The 4th generation iPod touch has got 256 MB of memory, and iOS 7 devices have got 512 MB or more of memory

Here's the solution to awful battery life on ios 5.

After updating my iphone 4 to ios 5 my battery would drain from 100% to dead in around 4 hours with no use and would constantly be warm to the touch - especially on the left side of the phone where the battery is. However after resetting network settings i only lost 20% battery after 5 hours and is now a normal temperature. To do this go onto settings/general/reset/reset network settings. You will get the screen you get when restoring for a minute or so but when it boots back up just put your wifi code in and everything should be back to normal with a good - if not better - battery life.
Hope this helps, regard.

I am going to make it as brief as possible my 1 month experience with my brand new Iphone 5
-Januarry 11 - I purchase the Iphone 5
-First day the phone battery lasted on stand by for more than 24 hours
-Second day, I upgraded the software for IOS 6.1
-Battery issies begun. Battery on stand by last 4 - 6 hours
-I took the Iphone to Apple Store, they say everything is OK, that I had too many apps or that I should have make the restoration process from "New Iphone" instead backing up.
-I do the New Iphone thing and the battery now lasts more than 24 hours on Stand By
-Then Comes 6.1.1
-Battery drain problems are back
-Restoring the Iphone as NEW does not works this time. I have to charge 3 times a day my Iphone 5
-Yesterday 6.1.2 addressing to fix this bug
-I do the upgrade. Worst than before, battery drains 10% in 10 Minutes in Stand by!!
-I cant make the battery to fully charge to 100%, no matter how long I plug it, even overnight, after 8 hours, I was expecting a 100% charge, but it was at 97%!!!! With all apps closed, WIFI and Bluetooth OFF
-I do the whole restoring process from NEW again. - NOTHING!! - It has been only 3 hours since i Umppluged it and now I have 33% and thats because I charge it on my car on my way to Work, about 30 minutes.
-6.1.2 its even worst that 6.1.1
WTFF!!!!!!! IS APPLE DOOMED?

When/how to charge the iPhone for optimal battery life?

I have an iPhone 3G 8GB. I was just wondering what the best way to go about charging the iPhone is, in order to optimise the battery life?
Should you wait until the iPhone is really flat/ low battery and then charge it up full, or are smaller and more frequent 'shallow' charges healthier?
I also heard somewhere that every couple of months or so it is a good idea to let the battery run completely dead and then charge it up, in order to calibrate it or something... but that doing this too often could be detrimental.
Any help/ advice would be greatly appreciated! I don't know if I should let my iPhone run really low before charging it or if smaller more frequent chargers are the way to go.
Thanks!

Thanks! I did read over that and have taken the steps mentioned and fiddled around with settings of my phone to optimise use. I was just wondering if anyone else had anything else to add about charging habits specifically and what works best... I think mainly I'm just being paranoid about my phone dying prematurely since it's the first time I've owned such an expensive gadget!
Also, can you overcharge it? Is it bad to leave it on the charger overnight? I've done some searching in other threads/ webpages and there seems to be some discrepancies but for the most part people seem to think that it will be fine?
