How much power does the iPod output?

I tried measuring the power output via the headphone jack, and the reading was so small my multimeter could barely measure it. It peaked at about half a volt, and thats with a very loud song with the music cranked up all the way. It averaged about .3. That seems REALLY low, maybe enough to power the cheap earbuds the iPod comes with, but not enough for more power demanding professional headphones or other non-powered audio devices. I called every number apple has to call, and it seems no one in the entire company knows anything about their own product when it comes to power output.
Also, what is the power output for the serial port on the bottom of the iPod? I couldn't measure that with my multimeter without splicing some wire which I wasn't about to do.

Nope, I don't mean the volume level. I mean the actual measurable ammount of electricity that the iPod is physically capable of outputing via the headphone Jack. I imagine the hard drive and screen ***** up most of it, so that the full potential cannot be tapped, because frankly the apple designers had no reason to give it any significant booster space.
No, but having the volume at a max and and playing a variety of different types of music will give one a decent idea of the average power output, which is about a .3. Seems it did show me something, buddy. accurate min, max, and average power should not be that hard to caclculate.

How much storage does the iPod Touch start with?

I no this may sound like a stupid question but I no from preivous experience that when you buy an iPod you don't the full storage they say you get. e.g. my current iPod (Classic 80GB) only comes 74.2GB of storaage.
*So my question is - how much storage does each iPod Touch model start out with?*
For example, the 8GB model may only have 7GB to start out with.
thanks in advance.

You will find ALL storage devices act this way. Your computers hard drive is the same (actual storage of a gigabyte sized drive will be 0.93 times what the stated size is).
An 8GB touch will be about 7.4GB.

Hi,
thanks for your answer. But my question ist how many the Mobo consumes. Without the periphery!
Why do I want to know this?
My Machine:
- MSI 865PE NEO2 FIS2R (Bios 1.8)
- Zalman ZM400A-APF Power Supply (400W)
- 1 GB Dual Channel RAM ( 2 x Corsair TWINX512-3200CL2PRO in Slot 1/3) running at 2-3-3-6
- 2 x Samsung SP1604N as Raid 0 on IDE3
- 1 x Teac 516E DVD Rom
- 1 x LG GSA 4040b Multi DVD Writer
- 1 x Terratec Aureon Fun 5.1 (PCI Slot 3)
- 1 x ASUS Radeon 9800XT (AGP Slot)
Cause I got almost all information about my periphery I want to know what the Mobo with it's onboard components consumes. The Zalman 400W is one of the best PSU out there as THG said in a test. But are 400W enough to be stable under heavy stress? Most 450-500W PSU aren't delivering what they offer.
So what is the consumption of the Mobo itself with all onboard components turned on (Firewire, USB Ports....)
It should be possible to calculate a whole systemconsuption based on all information I have, or not?

How much ram does the iPod touch 4g have

I am a bit confused. I bought an iPod 4th gen late May 2013 (made about a year ago) and read that it won't be able to be updated to ios 7 because of the ram. Since when are Apple products only supported for 1 year?! It's bad enough that I got ripped off buying an iPod touch 2G advertised as a 3G 3 years ago (for which I got several updates). Now I buy an iPod 4G this May only to find out a few months later that there will be no updates for it! I am pretty sure what I have now is a 4th gen, but according to Apple's website, there isn't a 16GB 4th gen! I can't find ram info about this particular model, only for the larger, earlier produced 4g. My model number is ME179LL/A. The only info I can find about this model is that it is only about 1 yr old (which is why I 'm a bit po'd about not getting an update). My ipad is older and can still be updated, so I don't understand why my newer ipod can't! And don't tell me to buy the newer ipod-I just bought this one and cannot afford to purchase another one (not even a refurbished 5th gen, which is still more expensive than the 4g new)!

It doesn't matter when it was designed, it was built 2012 and should be updated just like any other Apple product. My ipad is much older and still getting updates! If you buy a car made in 2012 that was designed in 2010, you still get service for a year. Your response is not valid. An Apple product manufactured less than a year ago should still be entitled to updates. I won't be surprised if there are many people in my position that think this is more than unfair, but disgraceful. I see more lawsuits in Apple's future if they do not provide an update for a recently manufactured product. Maybe you can afford to just go out and purchase a new ipod every year. I cannot and it should be illegal to sell a product that a company does not intend to support. When I purchased my ipod, Apple was still selling them on their website. To sell a product you know won't be supported in a few months is unethical!

G4 - how much power does it use?

How does the computer use power? It's not like a heavy duty motor in a refrigerator, a shop vac., heater or power tools...
How much power does a powermac G4 consume, on average...in terms of dollars added to a monthly bill? I see on the back of the Mac that it's rated at 6 to 8 amps, but I can't understand how it can suck up that much electricity when all I hear is the fan, basically.
I use it for video editing, so if remove internet, and most other programs that might use power, except for apps needed for video, photoshop and text edit, would I save at all?
thanks!

...so if remove internet, and most other programs that might use power, except for apps needed for video, photoshop and text edit, would I save at all?
Hardware, not software, uses power. One heavy-duty program may demand more of the hardware than another but most--pro audio/video editing and some 3D games excepted--never force the hardware to work up a sweat on modern machines.
There is a current tester that clamps around the main power cord of anything electrical to read power consumption. I can't find the link to it right but it is standard piece of kit for electricians. My appliance guy's tool bag has sported one as long as I've known him. If you REALLY need to find out hard numbers, that's the way to go; be aware that the tester I saw on the 'net was US$100--you could run a G4 a long time for $100.

How much ram does the iPhone 6 Plus have?

How much ram does the iPhone 6 Plus have?

This is what I got on the info....
IPhone’s RAM has been very little, even pitiful compared to other flagships. Now 1GB RAM is still the standard configuration for the current iPhone 5 / 5s and iPhone 6.
Is Apple’s system optimization can really never need to increase the memory capacity? Obviously the answer is no. Recently, GSMArena published a sheet of iPhone 6 Plus detailed specifications, we can clearly see the “2GB RAM” in the memory list.
GSMArena also posted the benchmark score for iPhone 6 yesterday, but we seen that A8 GPU not seem to improve a lot in the processing capability compared to A7 – only increased 4.65%.
Apple usually not declare the detailed hardware parameters of their products, because those indicators not have too many advantages compared to other similar products, and even looks a bit shabby. But for Apple, these are not the most important, the company always focusing on the overall performance and user experience of the product. iPhone 6 Plus is the largest ever. Apple has said the iPhone 6 Plus screen reached 1080P in the event, as a larger screen means more resource consumption, and the processor needs to handle higher pixel image, so increasing RAM is the best choice to enhance stability and performance.
So based on the above evidence and our speculate, iPhone 6 is indeed possible with 2GB RAM. If in doubt, all we could wait is finding out the truth after dismantling the device. Course this just may be a beginning, we also expect Apple can give more memory for the upcoming next-generation iPad and iPad Mini.

How much power does a Mac use when it's sleeping

I recently asked about shutting down vs. sleeping a computer at night. Now I'm wondering how much power it uses sleeeping. I have a laptop which I imagine is pretty dormant. What about a desktop-- Intel Mac?

I can tell you nothing about a laptop as I don't see a way of measuring what it's using while asleep. As for the desktop you are pretty much spot on, You can use it for about 11 times longer than a 100W light bulb for the same money.
In fact by using one of those price comparison websites I work out that it'd cost, (@ 10.17p/KWH), [24x365] x 0.009 x 0.1017 = £8.018 if it was left on standby all the time for a full year.
That excludes things like a standing charge for the electricity, and assumes you were on the Fixed S@ver Dual Fuel plan from EDF Energy.

How much time does the ESS import take?

Hi,
How much time does import of ESS into NWDI take?
I have selected following files for import yesterday:
SAP-JEE
SAP-BUILDT
SAP-ESS
SAP-JTECHS
SAPPCUI_GP
and looked at it today and it is still importing.
In CMS Transport Studio State column displays message: Import running.
Any ideas why it takes so long?
Regards,
Ladislav

Hi,
I have imported files one by one in this order:
SAP-JEE
SAP_BUILDT
SAP_JTECHS
SAPPCUI_GP
SAP_ESS
Is this order correct?
I didn't import EP_BUILDT - is it required?
I have checked the CBS logs and there is one broken DC in SAPPCUI_GP compartment
in the pcui_gp/isr development component.
The build log contains this error:

How much space does the 4th gen iPod touch 8GB actually have?

I'm considering buying the new 4th gen iPod touch but am not sure whether to get 8GB or 32GB (wish they had 16GB). My 2nd gen iPod is 8GB, but only has 6.8GB available according to the about tab. I'm down to about 500MB, and am about to import 1GB of music. I'll pick and choose for now (70% I don't listen to anyways). But does anyone know how much available space there actually is for the new 4th gen iPod touch 8GB (I know 32GB is plenty big )?
If it's not worth it, I won't buy it, but mine is having a few problems and I would like a new one that I know is fine instead of refurbished w/ the battery needing replaced (and a camera would be nice).

I do use it a lot for games...they tend to be larger files. My songs are whatever my dad buys and whatever I buy. Once I import this big batch of songs I will be at 700 songs and then will only add more when Dad or I buy them. I make a lot of money for a high schooler but my mom doesn't like how much I spend on iTunes (she's not into music the way I am). I don't want to have to pick and choose on which apps I have on my iPod. Songs, I can pick and choose if necessary. I just hate running low on available space.

How much money from the ipod touch 5 red goes to Africa?

I got my ipod 2 days ago in red (ipod touch 5) and i was wondering how much actually gets donated to help fight AIDS in africa?

Apple dos not say here:
http://www.apple.com/product-red/
However this site
http://www.ifans.com/forums/threads/product-red-you-too-can-save-a-life.377497/
says
How much is that exactly? Upon further investigation (RED)’s website states that it costs $0.40 to provide one day's worth of medication. Factoring these numbers, Apple donates at least $8.40 from the purchase of each iPod Nano Product (RED) to the Global Fund to fight AIDS. While Apple may charge $129 for the base 8GB model, it costs Apple $43.73 to manufacture. Not taking into account transportation, packaging, or marketing costs, that’s $85.27 in Apple’s pocket for every iPod Nano sold. If you factor in (PRODUCT) RED campaign Apple only makes a profit of $76.87.

How much current does the VBAT pin draw on the sbRIO-9606?

I would like to provide a vbat voltage to the sbRIO-9606 in order to keep the RTC accurate. I am having a hard time finding information about how much current the VBAT pin will draw to keep the RTC alive. Any recommendations for providing this voltage are welcome.
Thanks,
Kristen

Hi J_bou,
Thanks for helping with this question. I am still a bit confused though. Where is there documentation/information about the sbRIO-9606 shipping with a battery? Is this something that comes in the developer kit, but not integrated on the board itself? I have seen forum posts that suggest other RIO boards have a coin cell integrated that is rated for the life of the board without needing a charger, but I don't see anything about this for the 9606 version. If the board ships with an installed/integrated battery, the user would not need to provide an external voltage. Are there any application notes about this that could help?
The user's guide does clearly state the voltage requirements if a user wants to provide an external battery to keep the RTC alive, but there is no information about the current draw to tell how fast the RIO will discharge the battery. Does the battery model you mention shipping with the RIO need a charger, or is it meant to last for the lifetime of the sbRIO board?
Best,
Kristen
