Finally upgraded to os7 now ipad loses charge quickly? Problem or coincidence?
New to posting...please help
The upgrade to iOS 7 adds many new features and turns them all on. I think screen brightness is also turned up to the max.
So go through all settings and turn off anything you do not need. This includes push notifications, locations, background app refresh etc. also turn down the screen brightness.
There are also some things iOS does in the background that will slow or stop once they are complete.
I updated two iPhones and two iPads and neither runs the battery down faster under iOS 7 that they did before when running iOS 6.

Upgrade my IPAD from 8.1.3 to 8.2 via Itunes (from Windows Computer)
First I backed up the IPAD via Itunes on my Windows laptop.
Then I click upgrade IOS to 8.2 on Itunes.
Later got a upgrade failure pop up window.
Now IPAD is locked with a blank screen showing a cable connector and an arrow pointing to Itunes symbol.
The IPAD does not boot, and the Itunes does not recognize the IPAD.
turning on/off the IPAD does not change the display.
How to restore or reboot the IPAD?I rebooted the computer and tried once again using a different USP port. This did the trick!. I was able to run the IOS update and it stuck and timed out while the Itunes was indicating that it was verifying the IOS installation (on ipad I could see a grayed working bar). After it timed out the IPAD completed the task, and now it is working again.
Thanks! -
Help -- iPod Nano loses charge quickly and won't start up
When I don't use the iPod for a few days and then try to start it up, it won't turn on at all. The only way I can get it to work is to connect it to the computer. It also seems to lose its charge quickly. I sent it back to have it checked out and I was told it worked fine, but I continue to have the same problems. I'm stuck. Any suggestions? Would Restore help?
A restore may help.
How are you trying to turn it on though?

Ipad 2 charger having problem intermittently
Hi there, I got my iPad 2 last week. First day I could charge without problem, after few days I failed to charge it. I could hear the charging sound, but it will not charge after 5 second. I unplugged n plug in few times, went to apple store, they do not want to replace the charger for me as it can charge in front of them in the shop. Last night, I got the same problem again, this time no charging sound and didn't charge no matter how many times tried it. After an hour, it could charge again. It really ****** me off.. Do u all have the same problem? What can I do.. :'(
It says it's not charging, but if you switch the screen off, apparently it will.
Can't you just fully charge in the wall and then plug into the Mac? -

Recently upgraded to OS 7 my iPad , after doing so trying to work my MiFi keep going dormant and disconnect having to restart the MiFi every few minutes is turning into a real hassle . Not sure why it was working fine befor the upgrade . I appreciate any help provided
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

I bought Photoshop 7, upgraded to CS2 then upgraded to CS3. I live in the country and have limited bandwidth for my internet, therefore, the cloud will not work and I must have a box version. In Jan Best Buy did work on my laptop and did not de-install CS3, now my desktop has died and believe CS3 on it is also gone. I have the serial numbers and can not find how to contact Adobe.
I only use it for photography and do not want CS6, so I need help, can anyone help me. Thanks a million.Why on Earth are you getting frustrated? ?? !!
You don't even need to "contact Adobe", unless you need to activate that old deleted version. You are entitled to two activations.
Just download the CS3 trial version and input your serial numbers (the installer might prompt you for the previous serial number since your CS3 probably has an update s/n).
Download CS3 products <=== click on link
Anytime you want to look for something on the Adobe site, just do a Google search and add "site:adobe.com" (without the quotes) at the end of the string of keywords, for instance, this what to type in Google to find the CS3 downloads:
download Photoshop cs3 site:adobe.com
Just change "CS3" for whatever version you want.
Using the Adobe web site search function is futile.
Now, if you had two activations already, just call customer service and they will deactivate one or both for you—after quickly verifying your registration.. No big deal.
Click on the link below, and after that click on "Still need Help? Contact us."
Then on the next page, click Chat
There is also a phone option.

I have purchased a number of leads for the ipad 4 and they keep breaking at the neck towards the 8 pin end. Looking at the apple web site for options and there is lightning to usb adapter accessory can this be attached to a usb charger (possibly a mobile phone charger) for charging? It would illiminate the risky poorly contructed part of the apple lead. Just wondered if this would work. Thanks JL.

2012 Macbook Pro Retina battery loses charge quickly.
Any guesses or fixes? I do not abuse it in any way. Randomly in the last three days the battery has had about half the power it normally does. All I'm currently running on it are Firefox and iTunes, everything else is and has been closed since I noticed the problem.
Hello JLaT,
I definitely understand your concern with your battery on your MacBook Pro. I found a couple of resources that I think might help with this.
The first thing I recommend is resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) when the battery does not appear to be charging properly.:
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
You can find the full article here:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

I also recommend reviewing the following resources for more information about prolonging your battery life:

What causes battery to lose charge quickly?
Hello!
I have an iPod Mini 2G and a new battery. After a full charge (4-5 hours) it only works for 1 hour. When I leave the iPod unused at night it doesn't power on the next day because the battery is flat.
Have I just got a bad battery or is it possible that something different is broken like the logic board?
Thank you!I have the same problem. Replaced the battery an the same result. Had the new battery replaced and same result. My guess is the drive is staying on at all times running the battery down. I don't think it's worth fixing so I'm living with the problem until I purchase another unit.

My iPad 2 loses charge very very quickly
Hi
I upgraded my ipad 2 to ios 6 and now it loses charge very quickly. I have made sure that everything is closed down and have also done a reset a couple of times. This hasn't worked. I have also turned off most location services and VIP alerts.
Any suggestions would be great
ThanksIf you are on iOS 5 then there is an update due in a few weeks : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15570462

I had an iPhone 4 and recently upgraded to iphone5 now iCloud will not back up new phone. Under iCloud it shows 2 iPhones and my iPad. Is it trying to write new phone over the old one? What should I do? I am afraid I might lose everything messing with
I see. If you go to Settings>General>About>Name, that is the current name of your phone. The backup bearing that name should be the more recent one, and therefore the one you want to keep. I would delete the other one (presumably the one set up by Best Buy under your real name, assuming you changed it later), then see if that gives you enough space to back up again.
If it still reporting insufficient storage, use this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4847 to try to determine what's taking up all your room. In them meantime, you can perform a manual backup on your computer so your have a current one while you're troubleshooting this. To do so, connect your phone to iTunes, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Back Up. -
Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes using laptop PC (W Vista). iTunes does not "see" the device. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does. Just want to get it operating again for browsing and e-reading.
OK. You merely erased the content and settings. The IOS is still there.
If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures. From what you've already stated, my guess is that you'll end up with Recovery Mode described in the last paragraph.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this. -
