how long I can record a voice memo in my iphone 5s, how long I can record a voice memo in my iphone 5s
Thanks Caramby. I actually found another work-around
Here's how to copy the voice memo to your laptop (and then email it if you need to):
With iTunes open on the Voice Memo folder of your device (an iPhone 4s in my case), simply drag the required file from iTunes and onto the desktop of your pc/laptop. It won't remove the file from your device but simply make a copy. Then you can play the file from your pc/laptop (through Quicktime) as the file is in AAC format. You can also attach the file to an email for sending.
Hope this helps someone else.

I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon. How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge? Will the new one become less effective if it sits around too long?
How much capacity is remaining on your current battery?
Check your power status
From the menu: Hold OPTION and click System Information... èHardware è Power
Copy and Paste in your reply.
The new battery will become less effective if you store it in a hot or humid environment. It should be stored at room temperature (22 C).
Long term storage (6 months):
Apple recommends that you store the battery with a 50% charge. If you store a battery when it’s fully discharged, it could fall into a deep discharge state, which renders it incapable of holding any charge. Conversely, if you store it fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may experience some loss of battery capacity, meaning it will have a shorter life.

How long will laptop be in the shop?
Hello,
I have a mid-2010 15 inch macbook pro. For a long time now I have been having this issue with the laptop, whereby it will freeze if the video card or graphics card or whatever is taxed too hard. The display goes black immediately after some action (attempting to crop a large image in photoshop, scrolling quickly through images, doing something on an external monitor) and this action is usually something that would make the computer work harder than what a normal person would be doing on a day-to-day basis. If sound is playing while the computer freezes, then the last half-second or so of the sound track repeats ad infinitum, and there is nothing that can be done to bring the computer out of this state except for a hard restart of the system. Over the past year I have tried many things...closing the lid and opening it, waiting for a long time, pressing any number of button combinations from online suggestion forums, resetting the ram or whatever else you reset on the system, trust me...there is no way to make this issue stop happening.
The problem started perhaps one year ago, but was very seldom and did not occur with any alarming frequency. I would estimate that the computer froze maybe once or twice in a month - it was seldom enough that it took me a few months to begin noticing any correlation in what was causing the issue. Over the past year, the problem has grown, very slowly, and as more time passes the number of actions that cause the problem multiply. Six months ago I would maybe see it happen once a week. Three months ago perhaps twice a week. Now, it happens every day and I can reliably force the issue to occur if I just open a large image in photoshop and attempt to quickly do many things to it in a row until the computer blacks out.
I have not sent the laptop in to be fixed because I NEED this laptop. I am a self-employed residential designer and my work hinges on having access to Photoshop, AutoCAD, SketchUp, and many other graphics programs. However, the issue has now grown so that I am unable to work on this laptop...the amount of time I spend resetting the machine every time I overtax the graphics just makes it impossible to get anything done, so I now must send the machine in to be fixed.
I just would like some reliable estimates from people here who may have some idea of how long I will be without my machine. I do not trust the people in the store because they obviously have a bias and ulterior motives to get my business, they will most likely not give me an accurate answer. Every day without my laptop is a day without income. I apologize if this post is longer than necessary, my thought was that in order to give me an accurate time frame for repair, you would need a thorough description of the problem. Thank you in advance.Hi and Welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Well, there's no defined turn around time with MacBook Pro repairs however, must will agree in this forum that repairs can take about 1-5 business days to be completed. All depends on how serious is your issue and what component needs to be replaced.
As for your black screen issue it seems that you are suffering from the well-known Black Screen bug issue in the mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro. This issue has no other solution than to swap the Logic Board according to this Apple article.To determine whether your computer is suffering from the issue you need to go to the Apple Store and set up Genius Bar Appointment. Ask the Genius to run the "Mid 2010 MacBook Pro GPU Stress Test" it shoudlappear on the list of available tests when they connect your computer to the diagnostic servers. The test will determine whether you qualify for a free repair. If you do, they will either take the computer right away or set up another repair appointment that best suits your needs. If you are not covered by AppleCare prepare to fight off the obstructions that Apple will put to get you to pay the $600+ logic board repair, its just how they work.
Hope this helps and best of luck!
Please do not hesitate to ask further questions... -
How long would it take the Apple Store to fix this common problem?
I have the 2010-2011 macbook black screen of death, some days it crashes at least 4 times a day! screen just blacks out and i have to restart. other than that everything works fine
http://oleb.net/blog/2012/05/15-inch-mbp-mid-2010-crashing-to-black-screen/
now here it says apple will fix this for free, so i scheduled a genius appointment for Monday, this guy here says apple just replaced the entire logicboard, how long should it take?
also how can Apple verify that i have the same problem? (I'm pretty sure it is the same problem)
I saved one of the error logs in a text file, maybe that should help.

How long does it takes that GPS in MAP 3.1 will wo...
Question to NOKIA:
HOW LONG TIME YOU NEED TO MAKE GPS TO WORK WITH OVI MAP 3.1 in N97?
On all N97 I know and as you can read here in forum the GPS doesn't work usable in N97 and with MAP 3.1.
I believe that this is a software problem because often I get a GPS signal inhouse and in the wood, but from one second to the other N97 lost the GPS signal. And this in the best weather condition under free sky. Sometimes gps signal works for 15 minutes, then the signal will drop every minute or so.
The current position on map is shift (past) abaout 40-50 meters from the real position, so its unable to use.
The calculated speed is always changing between 0 and the current speed.
I have updated phone to de newes software and firmware also to ne newest maps also has hard reseted and reformatet and the problem ist still the same.
CAN NOKIA TELL US WHEN THIS BUG WILL BE FIXED, AND CAN NOKIA OFFER US A REFUND.
I have payed a lot for N97 and alot for the navigation licence and a lot for accesoires and a lot for the traffic security assistance. So I want a working phone! I dint have payed money for e alpha-stadium phone.
If this is realy the quality of nokia phone, then It is the latest phone I have buyed from nokia.
By the way, the phone has many many many many other bugs as described in this forum.
Really bad work NOKIA! :-(
I was so excited with my N95 and now this mess...
NOKIA please answer us forum members, what you plan to do with the N97 bugs. When we can hope that the bugs are gone? Otherwise I will return my phone and want my money back and I sue for compensation.Express shipping is available in some areas - http://store.apple.com/us/help/print_products/routing - see your country for details of offerings there

How long does it take for Infinity DLM to increase...
I have had a noisy line since I had infinity installed back in May this year, however as the fault was intermittent I didn't want to risk the possible £130 charge should they not find a fault. However the problem got progressively worse so I reported the fault, the engineer attended on the 19/09/14 and traced the problem to a faulty pair between the carriage way box (not the fibre cabinet) and the telegraph pole, he changed me to different pair which fixed the noise problem. I asked if he could do a DLM reset and he tried but advised that as he did not have the details for my connection he could not action the reset and to contact BT if the speeds do not increase. The fault has been marked fixed by BT as of 25/09/14
The noise on the line and the resulting disconnections over the past ~5 months have meant that my connection has dropped from its initial 75mbps to sub 40mbps, it has been 11 days since the fix but I have not seen any improvements as yet. How long should I be waiting before the speeds improve and interleaving is disabled? For information the noise on the line is gone and I am around 100-150 meters from the fibre cabinet. My HH5 stats are below.
1. Product name:
BT Home Hub
2. Serial number:
3. Firmware version:
Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.173.1.6 (Type A) Last updated 13/08/14
4. Board version:
BT Hub 5A
5. VDSL uptime:
10 days, 23:37:48
6. Data rate:

7. Maximum data rate:

8. Noise margin:

9. Line attenuation:
0.0 / 16.2
10. Signal attenuation:
0.0 / 16.2
Here are the results from the BT Wholesale Performance Test.
Download speed achieved during the test was - 37.76 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 40 Mbps-38.71 Mbps .
Additional Information:
IP Profile for your line is - 38.71 Mbps
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 8.11Mbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 20 Mbps
And here are the results from the availability checker.
FTTC Range A (Clean)80 63.4 20 20
FTTC Range B (Impacted)75.7 49.3 20 16.1
How long do I need to wait before I should start seeing improvements and/or need to contact BT for an engineer to visit?
I appreciate any advice given.It actually looks like your line has been capped to infinity one with the downstream been 39997, my mums on Sky fibre 40/10 package and that's what hers is like sometimes. Normally 39999, DLM can take 2-3 week in some cases but tbh if your fault has deffo been fixed you should have seen improvement after a few days, you will have to contact bt about this because if DLM is stuck the only way to get it unstuck is an engineer, I don't think they can reset your line at the exchange on fttc. You're getting less speed than the minimum you should get on an impacted Line so I would be asking for compensation, you're lucky that your max speed you can get is 88 meg the max I can get is 67 on a shorter line to the cabinet.

How long does it take to create a recovery disc?
Hi!!!
I have just bought a Toshiba Portege T110.
I tried the first time round and cancelled at disc 4 bec i was out of writeable disc.
Today i am on my 2nd try. I have mgt disc 1-3. When at disc 4~~it says is creating Windon Recovery Environment (64bit) and recording. But the progress bar has been hanging there for the abt 1-2hrs and still not done yet~~
I tried to cancel the program, but it says is recording and advise me not to cancel as it will take a long time.
Can some kind soul advise if this is normal? How long does it takes? If not, what could be the problem?
Thank you in advance!!!Hi all~~
i have the answer to my question alrdy~~
i accidentatly canceled the copying after waiting over 2 hr on disc 4~~
I restarted the process this morning~~~as i have alrdy done disc 1-3~~i am able to start at disc 4 straight away!!!
Disc 4 took less then 10 mins to complete.
So guys~~ the whole process from disc 1 to 4 takes less than 1 hr.
All the best to you guys!!
And Merry Christmas!! -
HOW LONG TIME YOU NEED TO MAKE GPS TO WORK WITH OV...
Question to NOKIA:
HOW LONG TIME YOU NEED TO MAKE GPS TO WORK WITH OVI MAP 3.1 in N97?
On all N97 I know and as you can read here in forum the GPS doesn't work usable in N97 and with MAP 3.1.
I believe that this is a software problem because often I get a GPS signal inhouse and in the wood, but from one second to the other N97 lost the GPS signal. And this in the best weather condition under free sky. Sometimes gps signal works for 15 minutes, then the signal will drop every minute or so.
The current position on map is shift (past) abaout 40-50 meters from the real position, so its unable to use.
The calculated speed is always changing between 0 and the current speed.
I have updated phone to de newes software and firmware also to ne newest maps also has hard reseted and reformatet and the problem ist still the same. If I switch off the option "Maps improvment" (which SENDS DATA TO NOKIA!!!) the the drop outs are fewer. But evreytime the position on maps is shift about 40-50 Meters from right position. Is there a mistake in calculation the position? Also the speed is jumping sometimes from 0 to x and back.
CAN NOKIA TELL US WHEN THIS BUG WILL BE FIXED, AND CAN NOKIA OFFER US A REFUND.
I have payed a lot for N97 and alot for the navigation licence and a lot for accesoires and a lot for the traffic security assistance. So I want a working phone! I dint have payed money for e alpha-stadium phone.
If this is realy the quality of nokia phone, then It is the latest phone I have buyed from nokia.
By the way, the phone has many many many many other bugs as described in this forum.
Really bad work NOKIA! :-(
I was so excited with my N95 and now this mess...
NOKIA please answer us forum members, what you plan to do with the N97 bugs. When we can hope that the bugs are gone? Otherwise I will return my phone and want my money back and I sue for compensation.I have no word to disagree with you and hoping that Nokia soon will make some press statement or something else to tell us what they do with their flagship, sorry bugship Nokia N97.
Could be a shame recognize errors, but it's worst not to say nothing ant let the bad news of Nokia N97 spread for internet even if they want to sell a Nokia N97 Mini in the near future.
I understand and supose that we will no have no new version till september because we are in the last week and july and the activity in august decrease really high... but at least someone of Nokia could tell something about this problems and if it's possible all the other problems.
Why Nokia Beta Labs Forum there is a direct contact with Nokia workers, and in discussions is relly rare to find?
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mistery.
Today is a gift. -
"How long does it take to do a dist-upgrade on your distro?"
Yesterday there was a question in the USALUG.org "How long does it take to do a dist-upgrade on your distro?"
This question was a good question, so I decide to make the ultimate test. I have a lot of computers standing here around, and remembered that on one of them was have already Archlinux installation. I was right, when I booted, the system check said me, that the system was 253 days not checked anymore. I got so excited that I forgot to check was it one of my 0.7.2 Gimmick or 0.8 Voodoo installations.

After reboot the system loads all new applications with out any problem. Later I replaced the intel-video driver "xf86-video-i810 1.7.4-6" with the driver xf86-video-intel 2.2.0-2. No problems at all.

definitely. By contrast, here's a regular upgrade on my debian box -- out of the blue it's having some problem with one of the packages, and it's turning into a regular recursive nightmare.

It's so "delicate" and temperamental compared to the no-nonsense, straightforward approach of Arch. If one little thing is off, the entire system has a hissy-fit and won't do anything until you hunt the internet high and low searching for a solution, encountering all the debian hawks along the way who are ready to rip your head off at the first suggestion that debian isn't directly from god and could have a problem. Imo, Arch is the best linx distro hands down. Nothing else even comes close. -
How long should it take to get my old number back ...
I moved house 4 working days ago. New house is on same exchange as old, sa asked to keep my old number.
The order is apparently in two parts:
1) Cease line at old address - done on day "1"
2) Connect new line at new address - engineers "cancelled" on Day 1. No reasons given on the order and I wasn't contacted to tell me all had gone to a ball of chalk..... I'd have been none the wiser had I not bothered to check.
Over the weekend I spoke with various people, leading to a new order for a new line, to be installed on day "4" (today). It wasn't possible to pull my old number out of the allocatable pool (presumably (good!) it was still allocated to the cancelled order?) The engineers were "asked" in a note on the order to move my old number back onto the line.
This line is now up and running on a temporary number.
As my O2 broadband reconnection is waiting till I have a line with a stable number on it and I am keen to get it back asap, how long should I have to wait? Is there anything that could happen that will sabotage getting my number back and what should I do to prevent this?
JonI am with you on this and am very interested also as to the answer.
I was originally with BT, then moved to Sky as I wanted Sky TV, and thought it best to get the complete package. They never once mentioned, "oh by the way if you move home you lose your number". I think they should highlight this, and then watch there customer base drop.
Anyways, that aside. I have decided to come back to BT, and BT have created a new number at my new address, and when the line is activated I have to call to get a renumber and hope that the number I want hasn't been taken.
i presume by law Sky have to put the number back into the pool, and therefore should be able to get BT to get it back. Fingers crossed.
What reasons could there be that they cant get the number back. -
How long can the Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter last?
Hi,
I've been using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter (genuine) for a year now but not everyday. Yesterday I bought a new display that needs this adapter, so now is the time that it will be used everyday. I was wondering how long can it last (or operational hours) if it were to sit in the same place, not unplugged, with an average use of 4 hours a day?
Thanks
PS. This one: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/B/mini-displayport-to-vga-adapter.This is impossible to predict.
Sometime cables last a lifetime, sometimes they fail in short order. -
I've been with Verizon for a really long time and one of the best things about their upgrades was that they used to allow you to do it a little early. And since you dont really keep up with plan changes until a new phone comes out or you are closer to your upgrade eligibility date, I didnt realize that they changed this. My phone is on its last leg. 2 years is a long time for a device that you use every day, 50 times a day. My upgrade date is a month away and I'm considering moving to a different service and letting them pay for my ETF. I have called Verizon asking if there was anything they could do to allow me to upgrade early and they said no. When did this start happening? They tried to sell me the "Edge" but thats the same as paying 700 dollars.
ATT doesnt care how long you've been with them
cox doesnt care how long you've been with them
your eletricity company doesnt care
your gas station doesnt care
your grocery store doesnt care
your car insurance might care , a little.
Just because uncle tommy gives you a discount because he's been cutting your lawn for years doesn't mean a large company would. And why should they?

How long can it take for BT to repair a BT line?
I am concerned that I am going for some sort of record!
I have been having problems with my telephone line, there is no dial-tone and the DSL is all over the place. After checking that it was not an equipment failure on my side I logged a fault on the 9th February. Literally within hours (I was impressed) I had not one but two BT vans outside to trace the fault. They very efficiently diagnosed the problem to be a connection fault with the wire that was replaced about a year ago (the grass has only just grown back in my front garden). That was it. A week later I still had the fault, the fault web site says the ticket was closed and so I called in to 151 and was told “an engineer would be with me by 5pm that day”, they were not. So the next day I called again and was told “an engineer would be with me by 5pm that day”; fearing a bad case of deja vu at this point I asked to speak with a supervisor who was very understanding. However, basically I was told that the line is waiting for contractors to dig up the wire again and would have to wait until “next month”. How long should this take?
I am at the point where I am waiting for some undefined point in time for someone to dig a hole so that someone else can come along and fix the wire. I have been a BT customer basically since I left home, quite some years ago, this line alone I have had ADSL on since early 2001. At this point I am considering dropping everything I have with BT and switching to another provider entirely. I try to do my bit for the environment and work from home when I can, currently I either hit the environment and drive into work or it cost me on my cell phone. The only reason I have not already as I know that they would end up providing the connection over the same wire – perhaps their customer service will be better… If there was virgin cable in my street I would have switched already!Hi AGeezer,
If the road has to be dug up then there needs to be permission granted from owner/council and of course the road must be closed etc so sometimes it can take a while to get all this arranged.
I'll be happy to keep you up to speed and let you know what's happening as the updates come through.
Could you drop me in an email please with your BT account and telephone number along with a link back to this thread.
Just send to the email address in my profile and mark FAO Craig please.
Thx
Craig

How long does it take and how should I learn...
Hi. First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
I am new to web-design (as in brand-new xD) and wish to learn Dreamweaver. With Dreamweaver being such a big application, with so many different tools etc I decided it would be best if I learned the languages I wish to use first, so as I know what Dreamwever is creating and I can 'fine-tune' my websites.
The languages I wish to learn are:
HTML
PHP
Javascript
MySQL (I am aware that this isn't a 'language', but would still like to learn how it works and use it effectively)
CSS
My questions are:
In which order should I learn these languages?
Which version of each language should I learn?
For example should I learn HTML5, with it being relatively new and not widely supported, but with the support growing so fast would it be worth just learning HTML5 straight away?
Can you reccomend any books etc for me to learn with? I am a full time college student, so will be teaching myself after college hours.
How long should I expect it to take to learn each language? (If you want to give the answer in days/months assume I will be spending 2hours per day average learning each language)
I do not want to learn every single detail about each language, but I do want to learn to a high enouhg level that I am comfortable with reading, understanding and editing my own code.
To help me understand your answers more clearly it would be great if you can just copy and paste this below (although feel free not to ):
What order should I learn these in?
Language:
Version:
How long (roughly) should it take?:
What resources van you reccomend for me to learn from?:
What experience do you have? (I'm just nosey like that :P):
Other comments:
Please feel free to copy and paste the second half (with all the questions) as many times as you like for each language you choose to tell me about.
Any help would be very greatly appreciated and please, if you for some reason find this post offensive, think back to when you were learning; everyone has to start somewhere.
Thanks for your time,
RyanHi there
You will likely get better response by posting in the Dreamweaver forum.

Wrong information in the hsx_cluster tables
