Does updating multiple apps on my MBP use a lot of battery power?

Tonight my MBP battery % dropped AFTER I updated seven iTunes apps, most being bug fixes. It went from 85% to 73% after the updates were completed. Earlier I was using my Beats Pill with NO drop. I had already put the Beats Pill off by the time I did the updates.
Do updates use THAT much battery power?

Do you mean Mac app store apps? Running  Mavericks on a 2011 Macbook Pro should handle it fine, but it can depends on the type and size of the seven apps.  It also depends on you wi-fi connection and your screen/keyboard brightness.  Wi-fi updates can use a lot of battery because it's time consuming, especially if they're large files.

  • Does having wi-fi switched on use a lot of battery power?

    ..or how much longer does the battery last if you had it switched off all the time?

    Posted below is a link for Battery information.
    And yes just like any feature in iPhone if you use it for any long length of time it does require battery power to provide those services. Posted below are some Battery saving tips
    1. Settings-WiFi- turn Ask to Join Networks off. This way the iPhone is not always searching for a network. This can save possible battery life.
    2. Settings-General-Bluetooth turn this off if your not using it. By default it is off
    3. Settings-General-Mail - Change Auto Check to Manual. This will reduce the times iPhone goes out automatically checking for email and using bandwidth/extra battery life. That way when you tap on Mail your manually requesting to go out and have it fetch your email when you want it.

    How do i update my apps on my iphone using itunes 11.0.0.163

    I click update on the app or try to purchase an app and it asks for my password. I enter my password, the icon spins and then just goes back to saying update or purchase. I have tried resetting my settings and shutting my phone off and nothing has seemed to work.

  • TS1702 how do I update an App on my iPhone using my new AppleID?

    How do I update an App on my iPhone using my new AppleID?

    All apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps. You can't transfer iTunes content downloaded with one iTunes account to another iTunes account or merge accounts.
    You must use the iTunes account and password that was used to download the apps in order to download app updates for those apps.

  • Is there a app that will tell all apps that are running and possibly how much battery power they use?

    Is there a app that will tell all apps that are running and possibly how much battery power they use?

    You don't need an app to do this.  Here's how you get the battery info.  Go to Settings>More>Battery. This will show you all the active apps and their individual battery usage.

  • Seems Firefox is suddenly using a lot of CPU power

    My desktop, recently, started sounding like it was really laboring while I wander around the net. And there's a delay as I type messages like this... the letters show up a second or two behind the keystrokes.
    I looked at CPU usage (Win XP with all updates) and while I'm doing this, it sometimes peaks to 35% or higher for Firefox.exe.
    My laptop has recently started telling me Firefox is using a lot of memory and I should close and restart Firefox. (Also updated Win XP)
    It's becoming a big PITA...

    It didn't show up when i searched for the problem on Google and it didn't show up when i search here on Firefox's support site either.
    And the reason it didn't because it's mostly not about my problem.
    '''If' it was one of those things then i would have a high CPU usage the minute i opened my browser, but i don't.'''
    '''It will use a lot of CPU power (after a couple of hours) even if i don't do anything '''
    And yes hardware acceleration is on and so is submit performance data and i use Ad Block Plus, and there isn't a correctly working theme or add-on out there that could use 50-60% of a 3.2GHz quad core CPU
    I don't think this is something that can be fixed that easily

  • Firefox 9 after a while starts using a lot of CPU power, need help!

    After a while (2 hours or more) firefox 9 (not the plugin container) starts eating up more and more CPU power, usually just to 25% (because usually i close it and restart it after that), but today i had work to do and i couldn't restart it right then and that resulted in firefix using about 50-60% of a 4 core 3.2GHz CPU (AMD Phenom II X4 955).
    I'm not doing anything extraordinary just writing emails and just plain normal browsing)
    I only notice this because my CPU fan speeds up and makes a lot more noise if using more then 20% CPU power.
    I'm pretty sure regular users wouldn't notice anything until it started to slow down their whole PC
    I'm using Firefox 9.0.1 running on Win 7 64bit, i have about 20-30 tabs always open (loading) and i haven't tried disabling any add-ons.
    I've read on forums that this might have something to do with flash data piling up, or with having to many tabs open.

    It didn't show up when i searched for the problem on Google and it didn't show up when i search here on Firefox's support site either.
    And the reason it didn't because it's mostly not about my problem.

  • How to update multiple rows in one query using php

    i am new to this can any one help me how to update multiple rows at a time i am doing an school attendance page

    Often the situation is such that you have multiple courses across a range of dates.So students may take more than one course, and you need to track attendance for each course date. The following graphic demonstrates this:
    In such a situation, you need four database tables as follows:
    students (student_id, student_name, etc.)
    courses (course_id, course_name, etc.)
    students_courses (student_id, course_id)
    attendance (student_id, course_id, dater)
    A fifth table may also be needed to define the dates of courses, but you may also be able to build this array programmatically by using PHP's robust date functions, which can give you, for instance, all the Tuesdays and Thursdays between a start date and end date.
    The students_courses table simply keeps track of which students are taking which courses, so it has just two columns for the primary keys of both of the main tables. The attendance table is similar, but it also includes a date field. The following view of the attendance table demonstrates this:
    So if David's solution does cover your needs, consider yourself lucky, because this could quickly grow from a beginner-appropriate project to a moderately advanced one.

  • How to update multiple columns from different tables using cursor.

    Hi,
    i have two tables test1 and test2. i want to udpate the column(DEPT_DSCR) of both the tables TEST1 and TEST2 using select for update and current of...using cursor.
    I have a code written as follows :
    DECLARE
    v_mydept1 TEST1.DEPT_CD%TYPE;
    v_mydept2 TEST2.DEPT_CD%TYPE;
    CURSOR C1 IS SELECT TEST1.DEPT_CD,TEST2.DEPT_CD FROM TEST1,TEST2 WHERE TEST1.DEPT_CD = TEST2.DEPT_CD AND TEST1.DEPT_CD = 'AA' FOR UPDATE OF TEST1.DEPT_DSCR,TEST2.DEPT_DSCR;
    BEGIN
    OPEN C1;
         LOOP
              FETCH C1 INTO v_mydept1,v_mydept2;
              EXIT WHEN C1%NOTFOUND;
              UPDATE TEST2 SET DEPT_DSCR = 'PLSQL1' WHERE CURRENT OF C1;
              UPDATE TEST2 SET DEPT_DSCR = 'PLSQL2' WHERE CURRENT OF C1;
         END LOOP;
         COMMIT;
    END;
    The above code when run says that it runs successfully. But it does not updates the desired columns[DEPT_DSCR].
    It only works when we want to update single or multiple columns of same table...i.e. by providing these columns after "FOR UPDATE OF"
    I am not sure what is the exact problem when we want to update multiple columns of different tables.
    Can anyone help me on this ?

    oops my mistake.....typo mistake...it should have been as follows --
    UPDATE TEST1 SET DEPT_DSCR = 'PLSQL1' WHERE CURRENT OF C1;
    UPDATE TEST2 SET DEPT_DSCR = 'PLSQL2' WHERE CURRENT OF C1;
    Now here is the upated PL/SQL code where we are trying to update columns of different tables --
    DECLARE
    v_mydept1 TEST1.DEPT_CD%TYPE;
    v_mydept2 TEST2.DEPT_CD%TYPE;
    CURSOR C1 IS SELECT TEST1.DEPT_CD,TEST2.DEPT_CD FROM TEST1,TEST2 WHERE TEST1.DEPT_CD = TEST2.DEPT_CD AND TEST1.DEPT_CD = 'AA' FOR UPDATE OF TEST1.DEPT_DSCR,TEST2.DEPT_DSCR;
    BEGIN
    OPEN C1;
    LOOP
    FETCH C1 INTO v_mydept1,v_mydept2;
    EXIT WHEN C1%NOTFOUND;
    UPDATE TEST1 SET DEPT_DSCR = 'PLSQL1' WHERE CURRENT OF C1;
    UPDATE TEST2 SET DEPT_DSCR = 'PLSQL2' WHERE CURRENT OF C1;
    END LOOP;
    COMMIT;
    END;
    Please let us know why it is not updating by using using CURRENT OF

  • Is it necessary or even advisable to install updates to apps you don't use?

    I normally don't install updates to apps that I don't use (such as Garage Band) or have installed (like Remote Client) and intuitively it does not seem necessary but I am wondering if there is any time it is advisable to do so?

    Unless you're on dialup and can't spare the bandwidth, I can't think of any reason why you'd NOT want to. It hurts nothing. And what if you decide at some point to dabble in one of those apps? Or let somebody else use your system for those apps? And, best of all, you can make those notices for those updates go away forever! (yes, I know you can hide ones you don't want to ever update, I'm just sayin')

  • Is there any way I can just update the apps on my iPhone using iTunes on my PC?, Is there any way I can just update the apps on my iPhone using iTunes on my PC?

    I have more than a 100 apps which I do not use but are there in my iTunes library! My iPhone has only a few (40) updates. As I am not allowed to use office wi-fi to download or update my phone apps, I want to use iTunes on my PC for the same. But I do not want to waste time searching for the apps on my phone and then update it using iTunes. Also, I do not want to update all the apps in my iTunes Library as there are more gthan 100. Can anyone suggest me a method where I can just update the apps that are on my phone using iTunes??
    I have the latest iTunes installed.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a different setup you transfer the old library from a computer or a backup directly to the new setup, not the device to the library. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • How to Update multiple items in other list using event handler?

    Hi All,
    If i update a item in a list, then i should update multiple items in another list need to be update. How to achive using event receivers?

    Hi Sam,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update multiple items in another list when updated a list item.
    In the event receiver, you can update the multiple item using Client Object Model.
    Here is a code snippet for your reference:
    public override void ItemUpdated(SPItemEventProperties properties)
    string siteUrl = "http://sp2013sps/sites/test/";
    ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
    List oList = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("another list name");
    ListItem oListItem = oList.GetItemById(1);
    oListItem["Title"] = "Hello World Updated!";
    oListItem.Update();
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

  • Updating multiple records without having to use a cursor

    I am trying to update multiple records in a table.
    Eg
    Table A -20 records
    Table B -10 records.
    Would like to update Table B with the updated records in Table A for those records which the primary key matches
    and I dont want to use cursors. Is this possible??
    Thanx in Advance.

    Please refer to the test below, it should give you the general idea,SQL> desc tableA;
    Name                            Null?    Type
    SEQ                                      NUMBER
    INV                                      VARCHAR2(20)
    AMT                                      NUMBER(12,2)
    AMT2                                     NUMBER(12,2)
    SQL> desc tableB;
    Name                            Null?    Type
    SEQ                                      NUMBER
    INV                                      VARCHAR2(20)
    AMT                                      NUMBER(12,2)
    AMT2                                     NUMBER(12,2)
    SQL> select count(*) from tableA;
      COUNT(*)
             6
    SQL> select count(*) from tableB;
      COUNT(*)
            12
    SQL> UPDATE tableB b
      2  SET b.inv = NVL((SELECT a.inv from tableA a WHERE a.seq = b.seq), b.inv),
      3      b.amt = NVL((SELECT a.amt from tableA a WHERE a.seq = b.seq), b.amt),
      4      b.amt2 = NVL((SELECT a.amt2 from tableA a WHERE a.seq = b.seq), b.amt2)
      5  /
    12 rows updated.
    *** Please note that this is DIFFERENT from what you asked, here tableB is having more rows, which is fine. We **may not be** able update tableA in this example by reversing the table names, because the join may bring more rows than UPDATE statement needs. ***Thx,
    Sri
