How do you calibrate the iPad battery?

How do you calibrate the iPad battery and is it necessary to discharge battery 100%. I have  the 3 rd generation iPad, it has been almost a year since I purchased it and the battery when fully charged reads 100%. Recently, I visited my local Jump Plus store and the staff said I should drain the batteries on my iPad & iPhone completely until they are dead and recharge once a month. Is this accurate?  It is my understanding that you should not drain the batteries completely? Also, is that the same as calibrating the battery?

For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

    Frankie,
    The usual setting is in Printing Preferences.
    In case you haven't found it yet - it has been a while since your original post - you may have your tray setting stuck on the 4X6 tray.
    I can provide details and "how-to" if you need more help.
    Printer model info would be helpful, and do you have your printer software loaded yet?
    I hope this helps!

  • How do you update the ipad 4.3.5 with a computer?

    how do you update the ipad 4.3.5 with a computer?

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 7.1.1 for devices with at least 512MB of RAM.
    The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.
    If you don't know what device you have, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.

  • How do you lock the ipad so only one app can be used

    I want to force a student to communicate using an ipad communication app.  I want the only thing on the screen to be that one app.  How do I lock the app so it is the only one that can be used on the ipad?   Is there a way to lock a page?  ie when he has navigated to the correct page to prevent the child from exiting and make him make a choice from that page?
    Thanks!

    You can lock an iPad to a given app via Guided Access:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5509
    To try and lock a web browser to a single page you'll need to investigate third-party browsers such as MobiCIP or the McGruff browser and see if they allow you to lock to a single page. Safari in iOS 6 or earlier has no controls and in iOS 7 allows you to restrict to a given site or set of sites but not to a single web page.
    Regards.

  • How do you get the iPad 1 to play music

    I recently bought an iPad 1. I synced it up w/iTunes on my iMac.
    For some reason, I can't get any of the music that was synced to play on my iPad?  Do you need to download iTunes or an App to play music on the iPad?
    Thanks

    When you synced your iPad, did you then open the actual device (click on the device on the left hand side)?  Then when the device is open, you go up to music and check the songs/albums you want to sync to the iPad.  The music will then appear in your iPod app, which is native to the iPad.  You open the iPod and your synced music should be there and easily played.  If that is not the case, let us know.

  • How do you change the pram battery on a slot loading iMac?

    I'm hopeful that a new pram battery will solve the problems I've been having with my iMac. I just have to put it in, and judging by the correspondence I've seen on this subject, that's not an easy job. (One letter spoke of having to remove 16 screws) Does anyone know of a site that gives instructions complete with illustrations for changing the battery? It seems silly to have to take my set to a repair shop to change the battery, but I don't feel up to removing 16 screws without very clear instructions.

    Hello,
    So far, so good. My computer started after I changed
    the battery, however, I can't be sure until tomorrow
    morning because my set was still warm when I started
    it. Tomorrow is the acid test. I'll let you, and
    everyone else who has tried to help me, then.
    Glad to hear that you survived, and that it seems to be working
    Let us know what you find tomorrow.
    A few comments: Whatever happens, this experience
    will give me more courage for the future. I now know
    that I can open my computer without breaking
    anything--anything important, that is.
    That's always a good thing
    Possible problem: After putting in the new battery, I
    noticed a loose black wire with a metal tip right
    next to the battery.
    Interesting...
    The only thing I could think of that might look like that might be the Airport antenna.
    But, it could be something else. Without pictures, it would be hard to really guess at it.
    I hadn't noticed it before, so I
    don't know if I might have accidentally unplugged it
    from where it should be. Anyway, just to be sure, I
    wrapped the metal tip with scotch tape to insulate it
    in case it comes in contact with a metal part.
    Was it attached to the logic board (the main circuit board which your battery was on)? Or, was it coming from somewhere inside the computer's case?
    Any idea or description of where it's other end was attached?
    I hate to tell you this now, but electrical tape would have been a better choice for insulating it. It's still possible for electrical current to pass through scotch-tape.
    A small, white polyethene? part fell out during my
    activities. I can only hope that it's not essential.
    Without a description, it's hard to say what that might have been.
    Does it look like a bracket? If so, it may have gone around one of the connectors around the CD-ROM drive connectors, or one of the other cables you disconnected.
    Otherwise, if it doesn't appear to have a function, it might just be a piece of broken plastic.
    If it's flat and rectangular, it could also be a cap that goes over the battery. But, those are usually black with a couple of tabs to hold it in-place.
    Also, it looks like two small,flat, grayish tabs got
    snapped off the bottom panel when I removed it.
    That happens sometimes. I was fortunate with my system. I've opened it many times without breaking anything (yet).
    I didn't find the job to be easy, but maybe that's
    because I was stresed out during the whole operation.
    Yes, that doesn't help.
    Fear was the problem. I was afraid that I might touch
    the wrong part, I was afraid that I might drop a
    screw ito the computer, I was afraid that I was going
    to break the bottom panel in the process of removing
    it, etc. The most difficult step was replacing the
    heat shield. For a while, I thought that I would have
    to give up and just attach it as best I could.
    Glad to hear it all went back together.
    Hopefully the extra parts and cable were not important. I would feel better figuring out what they were if it were my machine. But, it's up to you if you want to delve back in there and try and figure it out.
    Well, that's a summary of Niku's excellent adventure
    in the computer repair world. Tomorrow I'll know if I
    was successful. Wish me luck.
    Thank you for the update. I hope all goes well and continues working for you.
    Be sure to tell us what you find out in the morning.

  • How do you calibrate the touch display on an HP B210a?

    Well, I screwed up. I was messing around in the service menu (stupid me). I hit calibrate touch screen thinking it would be beneficial, but it ended up with me not knowing what I was doing, and now I cannot get the printer to respond to touch. So, how do I calibrate it so it works if I can't get it calibration? Please DONT say send it to HP, I really need to know how to do this on my own.
