Help!!! I have 200 clients at once!
I realize this post may be better suited for the idvd forum, but I think more professionals are in this forum.
I have a project where I have to create a video for 200 clients and each of them gets 10 DVD copies of their video.
Here's a little background. I'm creating a highlight videos for 200 high school athletes. They will all be in a tournament over three weekends and I will shoot every game of the tournament. I figure I will end up with about 20 hrs of raw video and each athlete will get video that runs about 20 minutes.
Obviously I need to have some sort of upgrade from my current powerbook G4... but has anyone ever dealt with this type of mass production? What did you do to accomplish it?
You probably dont really need to get a new Mac if you are going to just edit some footage and burn some masters--- but a new G5 wouldn't hurt.
I would use DVD SP for burning. Burn one copy of each different DVD and then use a DVD copy tower to make the duplicates.
I would highly recommend www.polylinecorp.com for DVD cases. Great prices, great quality. They also sell precut case inserts which are great for black and white case inserts...just use 'em with a laser printer and you get really fast output.
You may need to also purchase a disc printer. I have a Primera Bravo II auto disc printer (around $1200--www.pricegrabber.com) which prints up to 50 discs at once with its little dongle extension tray (free with registration). You could also look at the Bravo pro which i believe does 100 discs at once, or a Microboards printer which is a bit more expensive.
I recently built my own 1-5 DVD copy tower... The components are wicked cheap... I purchased NEC DVD drives (3540s I believe) from Newegg.com for $40 each. (Pioneers were like $48...the NECs burned CDs at 48x--I also needed CD copy capabilities so i went with NEC) Then I purchased an ACARD DVD copy controller and case w/500watt power supply from www.amamax.com. It is a great way to go if you are up for an adventure and would like to save at least 50%.
Hope this helps

hi venumadhv,
1. What is the typical structure of an ABAP/4 program?
ANS:-
HEADER ,BODY,FOOTER.
2. What are field symbols and field groups.?
Have you used "component idx of structure" clause with field groups?
ANS:-
Field symbols:-
Field groups :-
3. What should be the approach for writing a BDC program?
ANS:-
STEP 1: CONVERTING THE LEGACY SYSTEM DATA TO A FLAT FILE to internal table
CALLED "CONVERSION".
STEP 2: TRANSFERING THE FLAT FILE INTO SAP SYSTEM CALLED "SAP DATA TRANSFER".
STEP 3: DEPENDING UPON THE BDC TYPE i)call transaction(Write the program
explicity)
ii) create sessions (sessions are created and processed.if
success data will transfer).
4. What is a batch input session?
ANS:-
BATCH INPUT SESSION is an intermediate step between internal table and
database table.
Data along with the action is stored in session ie data for screen fields,
to which screen it is passed,program name behind it, and how next screen
is processed.
5. What is the alternative to batch input session?
ANS:-
Call transaction.
6. A situation: An ABAP program creates a batch input session.
We need to submit the program and the batch session in back ground.
How to do it?
ANS:-
go to SM36 and create background job by giving
job name,job class and job steps (JOB SCHEDULING)
8. What are the problems in processing batch input sessions?
How is batch input process different from processing online?
ANS:-
PROBLEMS:-
i) If the user forgets to opt for keep session then the session will be
automatically removed from the session queue(log remains). However if
session is processed we may delete it manually.
ii)if session processing fails data will not be transferred to SAP
database table.
10. What are the different types of data dictionary objects?
ans:-
tables, structures, views, domains, data elements, lock objects, Matchcode
objects.
11. How many types of tables exists and what are they in data dictionary?
ans :-
4 types of tables
i)Transparent tables - Exists with the same structure both in dictionary
as well as in database exactly with the same data and fields. Both
Opensql and Nativesql can be used.
ii)Pool tables & iii)Cluster tables -
These are logical tables that are arranged as records of transparent
tables.one cannot use native sql on these tables
(only opensql).They are not managable directly using database system tools.
iv)Internal tables - .
12. What is the step by step process to create a table in data dictionary?
ans:-
step 1: creating domains(data type,field length,range).
step 2: creating data elements(properties and type for a table
field).
step 3: creating tables(SE11).
13. Can a transparent table exist in data dictionary but not in the data
base physically?
ANS:- NO.
TRANSPARENT TABLE DO EXIST WITH THE SAME STRUCTURE BOTH IN THE DICTIONARY
AS WELL AS IN THE DATABASE,EXACTLY WITH THE SAME DATA AND FIELDS.
14. What are the domains and data elements?
ANS:-
DOMAINS : FORMAL DEFINITION OF THE DATA TYPES.THEY SET ATTRIBUTES SUCH AS
DATA TYPE,LENGTH,RANGE.
DATA ELEMENT : A FIELD IN R/3 SYSTEM IS A DATA ELEMENT.
15. Can you create a table with fields not referring to data elements?
ANS:-
YES. eg:- ITAB LIKE SPFLI.here we are referening to a data object(SPFLI)
not data element.
16. What is the advantage of structures? How do you use them in the ABAP
programs?
ANS:-
Adv:- GLOBAL EXISTANCE(these could be used by any other program without
creating it again).
17. What does an extract statement do in the ABAP program?
ANS:-
Once you have declared the possible record types as field groups and
defined their structure, you can fill the extract dataset using the
following statements:
EXTRACT <fg>.
When the first EXTRACT statement occurs in a program, the system creates
the extract dataset and adds the first extract record to it. In each
subsequent EXTRACT statement, the new extract record is added to the
dataset
EXTRACT HEADER.
When you extract the data, the record is filled with the current values of
the corresponding fields.
As soon as the system has processed the first EXTRACT statement for a
field group <fg>, the structure of the corresponding extract record in the
extract dataset is fixed. You can no longer insert new fields into the
field groups <fg> and HEADER. If you try to modify one of the field groups
afterwards and use it in another EXTRACT statement, a runtime error
occurs.
By processing EXTRACT statements several times using different field
groups, you fill the extract dataset with records of different length and
structure. Since you can modify field groups dynamically up to their first
usage in an EXTRACT statement, extract datasets provide the advantage that
you need not determine the structure at the beginning of the program.
18. What is a collect statement? How is it different from append?
ANS:-
If an entry with the same key already exists, the COLLECT statement does
not append a new line, but adds the contents of the numeric fields in the
work area to the contents of the numeric fields in the existing entry.
19. What is open sql vs native sql?
ANS:- by Madhukar
Open SQL , native SQL are the interfaces to create the database applicatons.
Open SQL is consistant across different types of existing Databases.
Native SQL is the database language specific to database.Its API is
specific to the databse.
Open SQL API is consistent across all vendors
20. What does an EXEC SQL stmt do in ABAP? What is the disadvantage of
using it?

selection-screen,Start-of-selection,end-of-selection,top-of-page,end-of-page,
At line-selection,At user-command,At PF,Get,At New,At LAST,AT END, AT
FIRST.
23. What is an interactive report?
What is the obvious diff of such report compared with classical type reports?
ANS:-
An Interactive report is a dynamic drill down report that produces the
list on users choice.
diff:-
a) THE LIST PRODUCED BY CLASSICAL REPORT DOESN'T allow user to interact
with the system
the list produced by interactive report allows the user to interact
with the system.
b) ONCE A CLASSICAL REPORT EXECUTED USER LOOSES CONTROL.IR USER HAS CONTROL.
c) IN CLASSICAL REPORT DRILLING IS NOT POSSIBLE.IN INTERACTIVE DRILLING
IS POSSIBLE.

selecting explicitly.
25. How do you write a function module in SAP? describe.
ANS:-
creating function module:-
called program - se37-creating funcgrp,funcmodule by assigning
attributes,importing,exporting,tables,exceptions.
calling program - SE38-in pgm click pattern and write function name-
provide export,import,tables,exception values.
26. What are the exceptions in function module?
ANS:-
COMMUNICATION_FAILURE
SYSTEM_FAILURE
27. What is a function group?
ANS:-
GROUP OF ALL RELATED FUNCTIONS.
28. How are the date and time field values stored in SAP?
ANS:-
DD.MM.YYYY. HH:MM:SS
30. Name a few data dictionary objects? //rep//
ANS:-
TABLES,VIEWS,STRUCTURES,LOCK OBJECTS,MATCHCODE OBJECTS.
31. What happens when a table is activated in DD?
ANS:-
It is available for any insertion,modification and updation of records by
any user.
32. What is a check table and what is a value table?
Check table will be at field level checking.
Value table will be at domain level checking ex: scarr table is check
table for carrid.

It is a similar to table index that gives list of possible values for
either primary keys or non-primary keys.
34. What transactions do you use for data analysis?
ANS:-
35. What is table maintenance generator?
ANS:-
36. What are ranges? What are number ranges?
ANS:-
max,min values provided in selection screens.
37. What are select options and what is the diff from parameters?
ANS:-
select options provide ranges where as parameters do not.
SELECT-OPTIONS declares an internal table which is automatically filled
with values or ranges
of values entered by the end user. For each SELECT-OPTIONS , the system
creates a selection table.
SELECT-OPTIONS <SEL> FOR <field>.
A selection table is an internal table with fields SIGN, OPTION, LOW and
HIGH.
The type of LOW and HIGH is the same as that of <field>.
The SIGN field can take the following values: I Inclusive (should apply) E
Exclusive (should not apply)
The OPTION field can take the following values: EQ Equal GT Greater than
NE Not equal BT Between LE Less
than or equal NB Not between LT Less than CP Contains pattern GE Greater
than or equal NP No pattern.
diff:-
PARAMETERS allow users to enter a single value into an internal field
within a report.
SELECT-OPTIONS allow users to fill an internal table with a range of values.
For each PARAMETERS or SELECT-OPTIONS statement you should define text
elements by choosing
Goto - Text elements - Selection texts - Change.
Eg:- Parameters name(30).
when the user executes the ABAP/4 program,an input field for 'name' will
appear on the selection screen.You can change the comments on the left
side of the input fields by using text elements as described in Selection
Texts.
38. How do you validate the selection criteria of a report?
And how do you display initial values in a selection screen?
ANS:-
validate :- by using match code objects.
display :- Parameters <name> default 'xxx'.
select-options <name> for spfli-carrid.
39. What are selection texts?
ANS:-
40. What is CTS and what do you know about it?
ANS:-
The Change and Transport System (CTS) is a tool that helps you to organize
development projects in the ABAP Workbench and in Customizing, and then
transport the changes between the SAP Systems and clients in your system
landscape.
This documentation provides you with an overview of how to manage changes
with the CTS and essential information on setting up your system and
client landscape and deciding on a transport strategy. Read and follow
this documentation when planning your development project.
For practical information on working with the Change and Transport System,
see Change and Transport Organizer and Transport Management System.
41. When a program is created and need to be transported to prodn does
selection texts always go with it? if not how do you make sure? Can you
change the CTS entries? How do you do it?
ANS:-

44. Name a few system global variables you can use in ABAP programs?
ANS:-
SY-SUBRC,SY-DBCNT,SY-LILLI,SY-DATUM,SY-UZEIT,SY-UCOMM,SY-TABIX.....
SY-LILLI IS ABSOLUTE NO OF LINES FROM WHICH THE EVENT WAS TRIGGERED.
45. What are internal tables? How do you get the number of lines in an
internal table?
How to use a specific number occurs statement?
ANS:-
i)It is a standard data type object which exists only during the runtime
of the program.
They are used to perform table calculations on subsets of database tables
and for re-organising the contents of database tables according to users
need.
ii)using SY-DBCNT.
iii)The number of memory allocations the system need to allocate for the
next record population.
46. How do you take care of performance issues in your ABAP programs?
Performance of ABAPs can be improved by minimizing the amount of data to
be transferred.
The data set must be transferred through the network to the applications,
so reducing the amount OF time and also reduces the network traffic.
Some measures that can be taken are:
- Use views defined in the ABAP/4 DDIC (also has the advantage of better
reusability).
- Use field list (SELECT clause) rather than SELECT *.
- Range tables should be avoided (IN operator)
- Avoid nested SELECTS.
i)system tools
ii)field symbols and field groups.
ans:-
Field Symbols : Field symbols are placeholders for existing fields. A
Field Symbol does not physically reserve space for a field,but points to a
field which is not known until runtime of the program.
eg:- FIELD-SYMBOL <FS> [<TYPE>].
Field groups : A field group combines several fields under one name.At
runtime,the INSERT command is used to define which data fields are
assigned to which field group.
There should always be a HEADER field group that defines how the extracted
data will be sorted,the data is sorted by the fields grouped under the
HEADER field group.
47. What are datasets?

51. What are the techniques involved in using SAP supplied programs?
Do you prefer to write your own programs to load master data? Why?
52. What are logical databases? What are the advantages/disadvantages of
logical databases?
ANS:-
To read data from a database tables we use logical database.
A logical database provides read-only access to a group of related tables
to an ABAP/4 program.
adv:-
The programmer need not worry about the primary key for each table.Because
Logical database knows how the different tables relate to each other,and
can issue the SELECT command with proper where clause to retrieve the
data.
i)An easy-to-use standard user interface.
ii)check functions which check that user input is complete,correct,and
plausible.
iii)meaningful data selection.
iv)central authorization checks for database accesses.
v)good read access performance while retaining the hierarchical data view
determined by the application logic.
disadv:-
i)If you donot specify a logical database in the program attributes,the
GET events never occur.
ii)There is no ENDGET command,so the code block associated with an event
ends with the next event
statement (such as another GET or an END-OF-SELECTION).

session?
ans:-
we will look into the error log file (SM35).
61. What do you do with errors in BDC batch sessions?
ANS:-
We look into the list of incorrect session and process it again. To
correct incorrect session we analyize the session to determine which
screen and value produced the error.For small errors in data we correct
them interactively otherwise
modify batch input program that has generated the session or many times
even the datafile.

I have a client who has been using Now to Date on her Mac. That program is now obscure and she is looking for software that is extremely similar. She has tried Outlook for Mac and it is too labor-intensive for her. She wants a professional look, and something that is not linked to e-mail as she works with a lot of proprietary information. Help?
I could not identify that app in macupdate.com. If a Calendar program, what about iCal? did she try it and disliked? If you go to macupdate.com, and type ‘calendar’ in seach filed, you will be given a lot of apps, you or she should test what it most appropriate for your/her needs.

I restored my ipod from a previous backup and lost my photos. The funny thing is, the photo app says that I still have 200 something photos I just can't view them. My iPod says: Unlock your iPod to view your photos.-What does this mean? How can I fix it?
After you restore from backup, you MUST sync to restore your iTunes content. No iTunes content is included in the iPhone backup. Your apps should be in your iTunes library, just sync them back to your phone. If for some reason your apps are not in your library, you can re-download them for free:

I deleted my duplicate contacts one by one on my iPad but have lost over 600 contacts on my iPad they are all on my iPhone but when I sync my iCloud I only have 200 contact on my iPad but have all 820 on my iPhone can any one help
Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing. -
Hi Guys,
I am using the full width video widget on a site. The widget was working perfectly however I have just added additional content to the site and re-uploaded and now the video is not working! Please help I have tried everything and am freaking out as this web-site has been payed for by my client.
AlexMany thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

How do I have a client submit a form back to me?
In our lobby we would like to have our clients submit a very simple form of only 5 questions to our receptionist. The PDF would be ready to go on our lobby computer, the client would simply answer the 5 questions, and then we would like it sent from that computer to a location (either on a server or the receptionist's computer itself) where the receptionist can access it later.
We have figured out how to have the form submitted to the reception email, but that isn't ideal because our lobby computer doesn't have an email client, and it would be silly to have clients log into their emails each time for this simple form. It's just too much.
So is there a way we can have just a one or two click method of having these forms sent to a centralized location?
Thank you for your help and responses and please let me know if you need any further details!A form can be set up to submit to a web server, which can do the job of sending the email. Either the entire form or just the form data can be attached. In any case, a bit of server-side programming would be required.
If the workstation has Acrobat installed instead of just Reader, you have more options, such as saving directly to a network location. Reader can save too if the form has been Reader-enabled with Acrobat, but if you will use more than 500 uses of the form, you run up against a limitation of the Acrobat License Agreement. This isn't an issue with the web server approach mentioned above if just the form data is submitted. -
Why is it that Apple have no interest in helping I have a iPhone 4S and since updating to ISO 7.0.4 I have no wifi at all told me it's a hardware issue and I will be charged for the repair as it's just over a yr old so I've got a 24 month contract so 12 months with a phone that is not working right I have read loads of other people that have the same problem so how can they put it down to the phone and when asked where to take it was told to google it not happy at all apple u need to sort it out never again am I buying anything for yourselfs again DISTGUSTED would be an understatement
No joy at all they just keep saying it's the phone but was fine before update and @metasolaray why should I pay for extra cover when the fault is not the phone but the update they have put out for everyone to install and I am far from being the only person as there is hundreds of people going through the same with this update and it's not been the first time they messed it up

Apple should take resonsibility for this, otherwise they will lose lots of loyal customers. I have moved away from the ipad due to expense and am now very tempted to do so away from the iphone. Selling a product that prompts an update that breaks the phone is not good.

Have had the same issues with iPhone 4S since the upgrade. No wifi button, battery draining every 8 hours with no use, phone shutting on & off for no reason at all. I gave in and tried the hair dryer method. Turned the phone off and hel d the dryer over the camera lense area for one minute. Turned the phone back on and to my shock, had wifi button back again. That was 2 days ago. Battery is lasting normal amount of time again and I can use wifi again! Hopefully this will last. I know it doesn't work for everyone but it doesn't hurt to try. Much better than spending the $200 at the Apple store, which by the way, the genius said Apple is aware of the problems but there is nothing they can do.

you will be fine if you have warranty
If not Apple won't want to know
I know I've tried but they will not help.
I've email bbc watchdog the consumer
Programme to see if they can help.
GOOD LUCK

Having the same issue: iOS 7.0.2 with no WiFi / poor Battery stamina and really slow software experience when opening several options at Settings icon.
Apple care agent contacted me and we try all alternatives to isolate and detect if this is regarding a hardware problem. Of course they told me it is. Too sad. My phone is in immaculate condition.
My mother has an Iphone, my father has an Iphone, my 2 sisters have Iphones, my brother, wife and daugther... we all have Iphones. Mine's the only one with this fault (my personal experience: fail prob is 12,5% -1 out of 8).
At this point, I'm evaluating to stop buying apple products for fear that in the future the same will happen with some "premium" product that ultimately they are not.
Too sad, sorry but this is too much.

I got my 4s in August 2012, as an upgrade on my Vodafone contract Following the installation of IOS 7 I also experienced greying out of wifi and bluetooth. I tried various options suggested on forums however none worked. I took my phone to Vodafone who told me it was a problem they were aware of but couldn't do anything about as Apple had to deal with it. I took it to my nearest Apple store (60 miles round trip!) to be told it was not their responsibility, it was Vodafone's - something to do with consumer law! They also said I would have to pay £160 for a replacement phone as it couldn't be repaired. The 'Genius' was very cagey about it being a common problem by the way!! Back to Vodafone who said it was not their responsibility so back to Apple. This time I spoke with a Manager who told me in not so many words that it was an issue and agreed to halve the replacement cost of £160 to £80. By this time I just wanted it sorted to reluctantly paid £80 for a replacment phone. Seeing as this is CLEARLY a design fault, Apple should have replaced it free of charge. This experience just confirms what I am reading in lots of places about the Apple Company. I was going to buy an iPad but have decided not to now. I shall NOT be replacing the iphone when my contract is up. I too will be writing to BBC Watchdog.

You will probably be told that the solution is a replacement phone. Ask to speak to a Manager and insist on getting it at a lower price. I did this and got it at 50% of the usual repacement cost. Still not ideal but at least it saves you a bit of the money you shouldn't have to pay in the first place!

I depend alot on my Iphone and this Wifi greyed out issue is really getting to me!! This caused me to lose some business, but I'm sure I will make up for that in Andriod World. Switching back to andriod should have never switched to apple in the first place.

4s owner in the same boat as everyone else.
I setup a service call with apple on Monday this week and was told it's quite a common hardware failure. When I asked why I should be paying for a new phone I was advised to book an appointment in store. Well I've just returned from my appointment with a "genius" who told me that when the update is installing if any component is weak when installing it will be permanently disabled. Was then told £150 for a new phone which I declined.
I've had iPhones for 4 years now but due to this issue and apple washing their hands of any responsibility it will be my last.
Disappointed that a premium product has such poor backup from the manufacturer. If it was only my phone and not thousands of others I'd have probably paid for a new phone but I'll never give apple another penny again.

Why is it so difficult to convert a Raw image to a jpeg in Photoshop Elements ?! I have version 12. Once i realized to change the tick box in Camera Raw to 8 bit instead of 16 bit and Flatten image ( sometimes can flatten image if the flatten option isn't greyed out) hey presto i thought i was up and running. However after saving the photograph as a jpeg and renaming it e, after the word edit. I switched off/on my computer only for all the images i had spent time working on to have disappeared. Feeling very upset as there is no Technical Help to telephone at adobe and i don't know what to do.
My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

PS CS6: It'd be helpful to have the option to collapse or expand the nested groups and layers.
PS CS6: It'd be helpful to have the option to collapse or expand the nested groups and layers all at once. Autodesk Maya has a similar feature in it's outliner that allows for you to do this.
And as Jeffrey Tranberry answered there:
• Open/close all layer groups (folders) at the current level of hierarchy: Cmd-click the arrow next to the group - This is handy when you want to open/close, say, all the top-level groups without disturbing the open/closed state of any groups nested within them.
• Open/close all layer groups nested within the current one: Opt-click the arrow next to the group - This is nice when you want to open/shut a bunch of nested groups, without affecting any that lie outside the target group.
• Open/close all layer groups, period: Cmd-Opt-click the arrow next to a group So, to keep things simple: when in doubt, Cmd-Opt-click a group’s arrow and you’ll collapse/expand all groups.
* On Windows please substitutes Ctrl for Cmd and Alt for Opt. . -
Help I have a Macbook 2006 model and I like to play videogames on it, well when I leave it plugged in it gets the best performance, when its not plugged in its decent, so will it hurt my battery if I leave it plugged in at all times?
No, it will hurt your battery, but it is not recommended by Apple. Additionally, since you have a model with a removable battery, you should calibrate the battery once a month if you leave it plugged in at all times.

Need help for the $200 promo rebate for trade-in of I Phone 4
Need help for the $200 promo rebate for trade-in of I Phone 4. Unable to preregister when I ordered the new 6 in September. Now can not contact VZW recycle program regarding.
When I ordered my phone on Sept. 13th in a Verizon store, I had to ask the salesman how I went about getting the $200 rebate. He said shipping materials would come with the new phones. When I received the confirmation e-mail of my order, it contained a link for the rebate. Fortunately I clicked on the link, filled out the form online, and received the packing materials to send my phone in shortly after. My phones came in on Oct. 14th and I sent 3 of them back. So far I have received a gift card for $200 for 2 of the phones; the other is showing not received. I don't know what your situation is, but I think the promotion ended Oct. 15th. If I had listened to the salesman I think I would be out of luck as well. I hope I am wrong for your sake.

After updating to iOS 6 my battery life of iPad 2 has reduced drastically..plz help..have tried all the standard solutions suggested in forums but doesn't help
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W 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.
