How many years should my ipad last

How many years?
Will i have to replace the battery after a few years?

From http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html :
A properly maintained iPad battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 1000 full charge and discharge cycles. You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs.

I have a MacBook Pro 15" mid 2010. My battery has 326 cycles. It is not lasting more than 1 hr and a few minutes before needing a charge. How many cycles should it have?

I have a MacBook Pro 15" mid 2010 that was purchased in summer of 2010. My battery has used 326 cyles. Is this normal for these batteries after two years? How many cycles should I expect to get out of it before getting a new one? Also, it only last about 1 hour plus about 30 minutes before needing to be charged again.

The battery is considered a 'consumable' item by Apple - I know that newer models (not sure about 2010's) are supposed to 'last' to about 1,000 cycle counts. But it all depends on how you've used (or abused) your battery as to how long it's going to last. I've 182 cycles on my 8 month old MBP and my battery 'health' is at 98%: I can still get a good 6 1/2 hours out of it...
...if you want more battery time, you're just going to have to buy a new battery or, if you purchased AppleCare, see if Apple will replace it gratis. I doubt that they will, though...

How many years can an Ipod Touch last?

Hello,
I have a year old 16g 2nd Gen Touch. Was wondering how many years
an Ipod Touch will last for. I realize you only get a certain amount of
charge cycles but was hoping that my Touch would last for a few years or more.
I realize that due to the nature of this device I will not be getting the same
number of years that my Nintendo DS has (still working fine after being
almost 5 years old). I also charge my Ipod Touch daily due to the fact that I use
the wifi and play games. I make sure to turn off the wifi when not using wifi but usually do not get much battery usage on a charge due to using it just for those
2 things. I did not get the extended warranty. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Like already mentioned, there really isn't a definitive answer to your question. I also have several iPod models (2 2nd gen nanos, 1 1st gen nano, 1 shuffle, 1 30 GB Classic, and a 3rd gen iPod Touch). Since the Touch is only 1 day old I can't say how it will hold up, but all of my iPods are still working, although the 1st gen nano has horrible battery life at this point. All of them are at least 2 years old. Until earlier this year I also had a iPod Mini that was still working and it has been years since they made that model. There are too many factors to consider when it comes to trying to predict the life span of your iPod.

It is entirely dependent upon how the batteries are used ( with a little bit of luck). There is no specific time period that any one can provide.

How many years can I expect to get out of a MBP?

Hi All,
I'm considering an Apple laptop. Being a graphics professional, I think I want to go with the MPB so I can run the Adobe CS4 Suite (et. al.) while away from my desk.
How many years of useful life should I expect to get (or plan to get) from a laptop? Barring any hardware failures or accidents, can I expect it to reasonably run CS4(+), OS10.5(+), font manager, etc., and connect to the internet etc. for say, 4-5 years? What's reasonable for a laptop's useful life?
Would I want to purchase the fastest processor(s) and biggest HD in the MBP? I'm thinking the 15-inch 2.66Ghz, 250G 7200rpm HD. Heck, my G5 only has 150G on its HD, and the dual 2Ghz non-Intel chip. Purchased in '04, it seems to still have quite a bit of life to it.
Thanks in advance for your advice--D
Or, should I consider something less powerful that can augment my desktop? I just want to be able to get away from the office every once in a while and still get some work done.

Leopard requires at least a PowerPC G4 processor at 867MHz or faster, meaning G4 towers released prior to 2001 (and select models into 2002) don't meet the spec.
{quote}
Ah, I see. Yep, got it in early 2000.
{quote}
One question there, though - your G4 desktop was upgradeable, but did you upgrade yours? Add anything to those expansion bays? Put in a larger HDD? If you answer no to those questions, consider the fact that you may not ever upgrade a desktop you purchase in the future.
{quote}
Excellent point. I never upgraded the chip or anything, and eventually decided not to update/add to any of the memory (HD or RAM) because I felt I'd get better bang for my buck with a newer/faster machine altogether. I recently resurrected it to hook it up to our new TV to see if we could watch downloaded movies on it, which is what generated that whole conversation about it only being able to handle Tiger, as it's got 10.2 and needs to be updated to interface adequately with the Big Bad Internet World.
My G5 has become sluggish lately, and although I added another 2G of RAM it doesn't seem to affect it much. Back on topic, I wonder if I get the laptop will I grow tired of it or will it grow too slow in less time than the current desktop...
As eww so rightly points out in his reply, I guess I have to decide if I want the latest-greatest on my laptop, or can I live with using versions that the computer can handle. And, do I shell it out for the fastest/baddest, or will I get the same longevity (or lack) with the middle of the road machine.
For my professional software, my strategy has been to upgrade every other time, unless there's some new feature that will make my life absolutely heavenly. It seems like Adobe is slinging out the new versions faster than my budget can handle. Last summer I finally updated to the latest from Office v.X. And the only reason I did that is because my clients have been sending me text files in the latest Win versions of Office (docx and pptx) that I couldn't open. (And it's not good customer service to ask them to save them as txt files and resend.)
Typical scenario:
On my G5 I'm still using Tiger because I'm too cheap to buy the upgrade. (Every time I upgrade my OS I lose something--printer drivers, favorite features in my browser, font manager compatibility, whatever, there's always something I else need to upgrade besides the OS, always.)
Although I'm running Adobe CS3, I have the CS4 suite. CS4 will run on 10.4.11, but the font manager's auto-activation doohickey (which I would have to buy) for CS4's apps only works with OS10.5. So things potentially could get expensive. The only reason I have CS4 is because I bought CS3 a week before CS4 came out. The font manager (Suitcase) is really a lifesaver, and therefore it's pretty necessary. STOP the madness! LOL! (There's another font manager out there that is pretty good and cheaper, so that may be an option.)
Okay, I'm babbling now. I appreciate your wise words to guide my thinking. Time to get nose to grindstone so I can afford that nifty laptop!
Thanks--d

How many years?

Hello, I have a Creative Zen 4gb that I've had for about a month and a half now. I had some problems on the second day I owned it but since it's been perfect.
I'm wondering as to how many years I can get out of the battery. It appears that once the battery is wasted I have to throw away the whole thing. Anyway I really like this player and use it pretty much everyday and every chance I get.
Is there a way to replace the battery or maybe send my player in to be refurbished? I can't get those answers off the support site at all. As much as I like this player it just bothers me that it may only last a year and then I'd have to buy another. I'd appreciate your answers.

Re: How many years?" Don't store your player in a hot car. Heat and age are the two big killers of lithium ion battery life. I had (gave to son) a Gateway notebook with the original lith ion battery that still holds a pretty good charge nearly 9 years later! Never let your battery totally die---keep it topped off at least 40% or so. Storing a "dead" lithium ion battery can screw it up and cause it to fail to recharge. You can let it run down all the way if you have to, but charge it right away. The small residual charge will bleed off and can leave you with a really dead battery that might have to be reworked to take a charge again. Your player will cut off before the battery is totally "dead". Don't worry.
Generally you should still have over 80 percent battery capacity after a year of use (I find I have at least that much). Your battery will lose capacity with use and time, but should last as long as you want to keep your player. A much better model you'll want will come along long before your battery dies, in all likelihood.

How many ghz should I get if I plan on using my IPAD2 for internet access, email, facebook and games for my children?

How many ghz should I get if I plan on using my IPad2 for internet access, email, facebook and games for my daughters children?

Ghz is the CPU speed and that is fixed for each iPad model.
The GB is the number of Gigabytes of storage.
I had a 32G iPad1 and filled it up with 5000 songs, 20,000 photos and about 50 apps. It doesn't sound like you will need anything larger than that. If you are just talking about a few dozen apps and email, the 16G version should be adequate.

Bought a MacBook in June - How many years of OS Updates?

Hi -
I bought my MacBook Back in June.
Someone was telling me that as far as new version of the Mac OS and related software goes, My MacBook should be able to handle the new versions of Mac OS X for about five years. I have a MBP 13", i7 and 8GB of RAM.
I am curious -
Typically speaking, how many years of updates and new releases of Mac OS X should my MacBook be able to handle? I plan to keep it up to date with the latest versions of Mac OS X, but I am curious as to how many years of releases it should be able to handle, or historically speaking - they have been able to handle.
Any advice is appreciated.
I spent a good amount of money for my MBP, and I just wanted to see how long this investment (being the laptop) should be able to keep up with the latest software.
Thanks.

Great to hear that I should be able to accept OS X Upgrades for a good five years! Very pleased to hear that.
Apple releases a new OS X version every couple of years on average, except in the case of Mountain Lion which was issued a mere year after Lion because of Flashback malware.
So that should be about 2.5 upgrades over 5 years, which 10.5 era issued machines which are running 10.8 are rather slow, 10.6 era issued machines fare a lot better on 10.8 depending. 10.7 era machines on 10.8 are having no problem.
It all has to do with the processors actually, and it's a educated guess based upon years of experience.
Why don't you recommend any OS X Upgrades without 3 years of AppleCare?
Because driver or firmware upgrades can brick or cause serious issues with older hardware and if your not under AppleCare, then it's a out of pocket repair which is costly (if they will fix it at all) and money better spent on a new machine.
But if the machine bricks under AppleCare, and they can't fix it, they may give you a refurb that is comparable and they usuallly only have the more recent machines refurbed, not the older ones.

How many years we can store the data in ODS as well as psa data ?

Hi guru's
how many years we can store the data in ODS? can u give particular years ?
how many days we can store the data in psa ? could u tell me step by step procedure ?
Thanks
Reddy prabha

Hi Prabhakarreddy,
As many days as you like:
In the PSA you can keep data as long as you like but you will need more and more disk-space. So its advisable to clean up from time to time.
Example:
PSA's from full loads Clean up in a weeks time,
PSA's from Deltas: Clean up after you are sure data is correct. (e.g. a month or 90 days)
Remember that you cannot do a reconstruction from dataloads of which you have deleted the PSA. If some thing is wrong you will have to do an Init again!
In ODS's you must keep data in order to keep your delta loads to cubes in order. Removing data will force you to do a new initial load.
Sometime companies delete old data form ODS's that is older than a certain period (e.g. more than 3 years old) by running a selective deletion. You will have to do an init again. But loads and activation may run faster and of course you gain on disk space.

How many frames should I cut out each second to get a old film look?

Hi,
What is the general rule of thumb (if their is one) of how many frames should be cut every second to achieve a choppy old film look? Or maybe it's not every second? What do you guys do?

you will get a more realistic look if you chop out frames manually
dump the playhead arbitrarily on the time line insert a cut nudge the playhead either i or 2 frames on and cut again discard the frames and either leave the black or butt the clips up for a "skip".
this really doesn't take long to do and is better than a predetermined sequence of chops made by a filter.
CGM do a free filter for aged film to add the hairs, navel lint, boogers etc . .

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

How many years will my PowerBookG4 still work?

I Have a 2001 PowerBookG4. The battery is dead, but it works with the charger. I'm wondering. How many years will it still work? What can I do to help? It's really old, and I won't lose it =\. Thanks.

My 2003 PowerBook G4 1Ghz is still working flawlessly. I treated to to a new battery about a years ago.
A friend has three circa 1998 PowerBook G3 "Wallstreets" that he uses every day. All three are running Panther 10.3.9 with the help of XPostfacto. I upgraded the hard drives to more modern 5400 rpm drives of 40 and 60G, and maxed the RAM on two to 512MB. They won't die.
With care, it's likely that you'll run out of software support before the hardware caves. That;s what my Wallstreet friends is discovering.
