Does WiFI use up my battery, how do I disable?

Does WiFI use up my battery, how do I disable?   --- new to iPhone.

Yes, wifi will use battery power but then so does everything.  If you don't want to use any power the only way would be to turn the phone off.   A smart phone is basically designed to always be on and always connected to the net.

  • A tech company just set up a wifi network in my house and does not use my existing TC; how do I get it in the network to serve as backup for my iMac? (I don't need it as a wifi access point anymore)

    a tech company just set up a wifi network in my house and does not use my existing TC; how do I get it in the network to serve as backup for my iMac? (I don't need it as a wifi access point anymore) thanks

    Just bridge the TC and plug it by ethernet into the main router.
    Bridge in v5 airport utility.
    In v6 it is under network.. change it from DHCP and NAT to Off bridge mode.
    Turn off the wireless.

  • Just downloaded the 7.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. Does this use up data and how can I get it to stop pausing for periods of time?

    Just downloaded the 7.1.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. I'm wondering how I can stream more than just my purchased music?And does this use up data? Also, how can I get playback to stop pausing for periods of time? It is a wifi thing??

    If streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
    Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
    If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed.

  • What file does ipod use for library and how do i access it?

    Hi.
    I almost put this in the ipod discussion but the question has to do with itunes as well...
    I have learned that itunes uses an xml file for the library, containing all song information and playlists (not sure about id3 tags for .wav, mp3) but when i looked at my data for the ipod i found no .xml files.
    Heres what happened and why i need this:
    unplugged the ipod after an osx reboot to winxp bootcamp hung. then i noticed the ipod was erased (or so i thought)
    Couldn't access any of the data on the ipod and hadnt a spare 80 gigs to back up my ipod.
    I didn't give up and after trying so many data recovery programs i got one to work and now i have what looks like all the songs back - with song titles and filenames - on my comp.
    I want my library back too. I want my hard wrought playlists and i want to know what songs i may be missing; I need to rebuild my 'library'.
    with the data i retrieved there is a folder called root, and if you follow and go to ipod control>Itunes there are a bunch of temp files and a large file called ipodcontrol and a couple files called playlist but those two were umm, empty. I dont know what any of this stuff is but if i knew how the ipod makes its library that would be a start in seeing if i can somehow get the library back. I know there is a way. I also am sure there are tons of people out there whose tracks have been erased after an auto update or unplug. You can get your music back! It would be so sweet to figure out how to reconstruct the library file too.

    I forgot to mention that for you people who have inadvertently erased your ipods, the data recovery program that worked the best for me was called R-Studio.
    So anyone know what file ipod uses for its internal library?

  • I don't use CS5 Live. How do I disable cs5servicemanager popup?

    Probably a small thing but this annoys me & I'd like to disable the popup asking to use info stored in keychain. Using CS5 Extended on Mac 10.6.4.

    This is what I usually get when I login. I gave in & selected Allow (not Always Allow) & now no longer see the popup when in startup of PS. I guess it's active all the time now which is not what I wanted. I don't subscribe to the service so I don't understand why it's there. I consider this spyware & I don't appreciate this "service" monitoring my computer.

  • My HP G72 Beeps when I use my microphone. How do i disable this?

    Well, it did this a while back, and it seemed like I had it fixed for a while, but now it's back. I think I know what causes it. I think when my computer or a program maybe detects that my mic is picking up a loud noise, because when I plug my headset in it only happens if I hit the microphone on it. Anyway, I was wondering if there was a way to disable this without disabling the microphone in the properties? Because when I don't have my headset plugged in whenever I type on my laptops keyboard, it beeps. It's beeping right now -_-. Please help.
    Thanks!

    Make sure the iPad's rotation isn't locked. Flip the switch on the side. If that doesn't work, double tap the home button, there should be a bar at the bottom with apps on it. Swipe your finger to the right, then tap on the icon that looks like a rotation arrow with a lock.

  • How does oracle use voting disk?

    How does oracle use voting disk? How does it do health check and arbitrates cluster ownership among the instances in case of network failures?
    Why it must have an odd number ?
    Thanks.

    Did they mentioned anywhere, that there should be odd number of voting disks? (it is just multiplexing).

  • How do I disable the messages setup window at startup?

    Everytime I start my Macbook and launch Safari, a window pops up asking me to set up messages with my email accounts.  I do not want to use this feature.  How do I disable this window?

    Hi,
    In System Preferences > iCloud or Internet accounts  disable the Messages tick box for that email.
    I am presuming at least one is an Apple ID that can be used with AIM  (All Apple IDs issued by Apple - @Mac.com and iCloud linked @me.com and @icloud.com) as they are also Valid AIM Screen Names from and agreement that is now over 10 years old.
    Google Mail IDs can become valid GoogleTalk IDs is Talk is enabled at Google's accounts settings web page.
    Facebook IDs can be connected to Facebook Chat IDs if you enable Chat at Facebook.
    Both run Jabber servers and can be used in Messages.
    Safari will list some of these in File Menu > Share which may be effected by the above settings (I use Firefox rather than Safari)

  • Im using an iphone 4s with the latest firmware which is 6.1.3 but my wifi button keeps going grey how can i fix it? i rested network connections and it worked for a while and went grey again,what can i do?

    im using an iphone 4s with the latest firmware which is 6.1.3 but my wifi button keeps going grey how can i fix it? i rested network connections and it worked for a while and went grey again,what can i do?

    Have you worked through the Troubleshooting iOS and WiFi knowledge base article?  If not, see if there is info in there that might help.
    Is the WiFi greyed out on all WiFi networks or just the one?  If it does this on all then there may be a hardwaer problem that needs attention from the techs at an Apple store genius bar.
    Before that, however, try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears.  That clears a lot of iOS hang ups that occur.

  • Does imessage use data when not in a wifi conection?

    how does imessage send a message? does it use the phone signal and send like a normal text message, or does it use the #g network and wifi conection? if it uses the 3g network how much data does it use?

    It uses your data/wifi
    Your phone knows when to switch from imessage to sms message because it knows when your texting whether or not the recipient has iOS5 or not if it does the bubbles will be blue(Data/WIFI) if is a regular text it will be green(TXT) hope this helps

  • Why does OS7 use more battery on iphone?

    Upgraded to OS7 from 6.1.4 which was much better on battery life. Why does OS 7 use so much battery and how can I reinstall OS6?
    Its using approx 10% of battery life every hour, when not using the phone and all apps switched off, push notifications off etc - if I was actually using the phone and making calls battery will be dead in no time!

    why?i rip all my cd's in wma,y does wma files use more battery life?
    Due to higher compression rate of WMA. The player will need higher processing power to process it thus the higher battery consumption but it should not affect it very much around 0-5% more only.

  • Does anyone have any tips on how to maximize battery life of MacBooks ?

    I have just bought the new Macbook 15'' after my older macbook (2009 version) had gone through some issues with its battery. The battery life of my old mac became very short, maybe due to overcharging etc. Therefore I want to make sure I dont make any mistakes this time around and make good use of my battery so that it doesnt get damaged too fast. Does anyone have any tips on how to do this? Or perhaps any MUST NOTs (things that would be harmful to the battery), eg. overcharging?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Macs do not have overcharging. The battery is stopped being charged when it is full, so do not worry about that.
    The most basic tip is to make regular battery cycles and do not disconnect the MacBook Pro from the charger until the battery is fully charged. Then, if you want, you can use your MacBook plugged in all the time, but remember to make a cycle at least once a month to keep the battery life. Also, do not let your MacBook turn off because its battery ran out of energy.

    2. restart the ipad by holding down the on and home button and use the slider
    3. update the firmware of the router

  • When charging and using, ipad 2 is 100% battery, does ipad use the power from the power adapter or from the battery?

    I have a quention, when i am charging and using my ipad 2 at the same time, if the battery of ipad is fully 100%, does ipad use the power to work from the power adapter only or from the battery only or both? Thanks!

    YOu don't have to have your receipt. Apple should have a record of how long you've had the device. If you bought it in april 2012, then your 1 year warranty against manufacturer's defects is almost up. You should find your local apple store, make an appointment and take it in.
