How long does iTouch maintain Wifi Connection?

So, I'm sitting at home, connected to BeeJive, and I'm chatting away, and my screen goes blank in 1 min (which is what I set the lock to). I turn it back on a few mins later, and first thing I see is "checking for connection" and then connects me.
Questions are:
When does the iTouch terminate the Wifi connection? Does it terminate when it locks at 1 min? So that means if I press the sleep button on top, it will auto-terminate the Wifi connection as well? Is there anyway to leave the Wifi connection on longer to keep receiving mesages but just sleep the screen?
I guses these questions would help when connecting to other pages that require an open connection. I assume the iPhone doesn't have this problem, since they always have some type of always on?

If it's going to drain the battery, it might as well stay connected. I guess when I need to, I'll change the autolock settings to longer time or Never. Probably not a good idea as that drains more battery, but I guess useful since there is no "ting" or sound indicator that I have a new message during chat.

How long does it take to connect to Wi-Fi the first time I use my Ipad? It's been over 30 minutes. I see that it wants to connect but it keeps on turning.

It should not take very long. Up to thirty seconds tops depending on your Wi-Fi network.
Try rebooting your Wi-Fi router. Turn off the router for 30 seconds then turn it back on. After the router completes its startup routine and indicates a good connection to the internet start you iPad again and see if it will connect.
If you still have problems you might try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. Maybe one at your local coffee shop or library.

Devices (iPad, iPhone) no longer can maintain wifi connectivity with time capsule

My iPad and iPhone can no longer maintain wifi connectivity with time capsule. Time capsule has connectivity to internet via Macbook, but not other devices. This started after upgrade of devices to s/w 6.0. Does anyone know if that could impact connectivity?

Yes, this is often reported with iOS 6.. there are definitely more wireless problems.
I recommend you reset the TC in the following ways.
1. Change all names to SMB type.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. that includes the TC itself, wireless and hard disk. I recommend a different name for 5ghz so you can force clients to that band without auto voodoo affecting it.
2. Use WPA2 Personal security only.. 8-12 character pure alphanumeric passkey.
3. Lock the wireless channels.. particularly for 2.4ghz.. pick one of the channels, out of 1, 6, 11 as these are the only ones that do not overlap.. test each in turn for the best and most stable. TC should pick the best itself but that is voodoo and I am preferring to run the system without black arts.

How long does it take to get approval from iTunes Connect and how do I find out if they are working on it?

How long does it take to get approval from iTunes Connect and how do I find out if they are even working on it? I'm not really sure if my application was even delivered - from the links in IBA. Any suggestions how one might push the right buttons at Apple?
Also went around in a big circle trying to get beyond the confusion of not having the right Apple ID when I've had it a long time. Confusion abounds and learning this forum also takes a new degree of patience. Humbling to say the least :-)
Anyone been there done that?

How long does iTunes Password remain valid after iTouch purchase?

Its great to be able to buy songs thru the iTouch.
But how long does the session / password last after the first purchase?
Is there a way to log out? Or does the login automatically expire after a period of time(like some websites such as Facebook) ?

From the manual:
Your purchase is charged to your iTunes Store account. For additional purchases made
within the next fifteen minutes, you don’t have to enter your password again.

Once an updated image, photo, text is sent into the cloud, and it connects with the other devices, how long does it stay in the cloud?

I've updated my iPhone4 with IOS5, and both my MacBook Pro and iMac with Lion. If I wish to use iCloud or Cloud, and want to share with other devices something like a note on the iPhone, with my iMac, say for editing reasons; once the item gets to the other device(s), how long does the shared item stay in the cloud? And, can it be removed to free up space or is it always there in whatever version?

Poulton-le-Fylde, UK
Do I have a choice as to what actually gets transferred into the cloud or does it take what it wants? What if I don't care to share particular data with another device, does the cloud take it anyway?

How long does it take for iCloud to sync to my devices?

I just discovered that I could drag Word documents onto the iCloud web site from my computer. Pretty handy trick. Drag and drop should be how this works. So to test it I dragged a document from my My Documents Folder onto the iCloud web site in my browser (I wish my company would update to Windows 7 so it would be easier to align windows on screen). It appeared to upload just fine. So I went to my iPhone and opened Pages to see how badly the file translated from Word 2007 to Pages for iPhone. And no document.
I have waited about 20 minutes so far. Am I being to impatient? Just how long does it take for iCloud to promulgate my documents to my iDevices? I am hopefully getting an iPad for Xmas so I need to get this worked out before I actually need this for work.

It actually goes pretty fast once you are on a WiFi connection. I found an open WiFi connection at Starbucks and when i got back to my desk the files were all there on the web site. I fond the Use Cellular connection to sync in settings and decided that I didn't need to sync my docs all the time so I will just wait to connect when I can get to a WiFi.
Now I just need to figure out how to sync my contacts. iCloud doesn't seem to play nice with Google contacts when they are on an Exchange connection.

How long does iPad 2 last after it is lost?

I left my iPad on the bus today (It has not been a good day). First thing I did was ring up the bus company. I then jumped onto the iCloud.com and used "Find my iPhone". I eventually located it (at my university), we locked ot, sent a message and played a noise / tone thing.
I checked back on it a few hours later and it was no where to be found on iCloud, it was wifi only, but the whole uni is connected via wifi.
My questions is, how long does the iPad last with these features enabled. There were only like three or four apps open. Other than that, I think i am screwed.
Any ideas? Thanks in Advance.

How long does the update for ios 7

How long does the update take on an ipad 2 for the ios 7?

The update has been going for 3 1/2 hours. The screen is black, if I hit the on/off button, the screen comes up with Itunes symbol with the usb cord. I assume it means I need to connect it to itunes through my computer.
I don't know if I lost my wifi connection during the update or not.
Does that sound right?

How long does the number porting process take?

Hello Everybody! I just got my iphone (witch I LOVE it by the way) but I was wondering, how long does the number porting process take?
I ported my phone number over from SprintPCS last night at around 7pm EST and right now it's 8am EST and my Palm seems to still be working... Is this normal?
I'm still receiving incoming calls to my Palm, Text messages to my Palm, but yet I can do outgoing calls from my iphone... I'm kinda confused...
I mean I received the text on my iphone from sprint telling me: "Welcome to AT&T" as well as receiving the e-mail saying my new phone number is the same one I've had for 6 years now... Is 13 hours considered normal?
Thanx! :-D

QueenYvette,
If it continues to be an issue tomorrow, I would recomend calling again, and getting in contact with AT&T's porting department. They are familiar with resolving any issues that may arise.
Powering off both phones is to make sure that the old phone is not maintaining an active connection with the old carrier that can interfere with the last steps of the porting process. If at all possible its a good idea to leave the old phone powered off, and restart the new phone about once an hour so that it will resync with the towers.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

How long does it take to download ios 7 over-the-air for iphone 5?

How long does it take to download ios 7 over-the-air for iphone 5?

It totally depends. The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download at the same time.
Anecdotally, it took me about 20 minutes.
Give it time, keep trying, should eventually work.
Ways you can maybe speed it up - use iTunes, get off wifi and do a hard connection via ethernet.

HT4796 How long does the migration assistant transfer usually take?

This transfer seems to be taking a really long time and no real change in status. How long does it usually take?

I originally tried to migrate from my MacBook Pro to my new iMac via wifi. 30 hours, and it never finished. Tried again, same result. 3 days later, and never finished the transfer, I connected the two via ethernet. Less than 4 hours to transer files (had a lot of high quality pix), but now up and running with no problems ... although I now have two main users. Read somewhere that there's a way to fix that. Don't EVER go wifi for Migration. Especially if you have others in your household using wifi, or a lot of high MB files. Or even if you've put you phone on wifi.
Oh yeah: don't forget to set your drive auto shut down to "never." That info isn't provided. Crucial for both devices. If either computer sleeps (the drive, not the screen), migration stops and doesn't warn as to "why" your migration isn't progressing, and you have to start all over. Be sure to go back and adjust the computer shut dowm to "never." System Preferences," "Energy Saver."
I am Mac, through and through. Just wish they'd offer more "how to" upfront versus me searching online or making an appointment to see some Genius, or waiting on hold for Apple assistance, to solve problems which I believe many face.
3 days later, migration complete. Finally. Seriously, Ethernet is the only way to go when you move from one Mac to another.
Been there, done that. Wish that Apple would suggest Ethernet as the way to Migrate. Have as of yet to see a successful migration via wifi; and I have looked, Googled, searched the topic. Apple should suggest Ethernet as the best way to migrate. Period.

How long does it take to back up my macbook pro?

How long does it take to back up my macbook pro?

How long TimeMachine will take is a function of: 1) how frequently you back up, 2) how much free space the backup drive has, and 3) how the drive is connected to the computer.
1) the longer you wait between backups increases the data that has to be backed up and it also increases the preparation time. Letting more than a couple days between backups elapse isn't a good idea to begin with - who wants to try and redo 3 days of work - but it also seems to take longer than three daily backups.
2) when your backup drive becomes too full, TimeMachine must 'look through' the oldest files and delete enough to make room for the newer files. This can take a very long time.
3) backing up over WiFi to a networked drive or TimeCapsule is the slowest backup method and when you have lots to back up it can take a very long time. If your connection speed isn't good it gets worse. For all the advantages that a TimeCapsule appears to have, this alone was enough to make me rethink the idea.
With a 17 day estimate I'm guessing you must be using a TimeCapsule.
