how long do i have to charge my new iphone 4s ?

You can charge it up as much as you like. The battery in the iPhone does not have the "memory effect" that old batteries used to have. I usually charge mine untill the small whote battery with the lightning bold through it changes to just a small white battery. The green battery icon in the middle of the screen should show as completly full as well. Again if you don't have enough time to fully charge it, don't worry, it won't harm the battery.
I have done this since the original iPhone and have never had a battery give short life or fail.
Many people top off the battery several times a day.

  • How long does it take to charge the new iPhone 6

    How long does it take to charge the new iPhone 6?

    That depends on the level of charge...if it is fully discharged it could take two-three hours.  If only partially discharged, an hour.  But that is only guessing as it depends heavily on the charge level when you start charging.

  • How long do you need to charge a new iPhone 5 for before trying to turn it on?

    I received a new iphone 5 in the post today to replace the ne I had smashed the screen on.
    I was told that I would need to charge the phone and then insert my SIM and it would be good to go.
    The phone has been on charge since 14:00 and still wont turn on (tried when still on charge and off charge).
    Any ideas?
    I have held down the power button for 10+ seconds
    I have held the power and home button down together for 10+ seconds
    I have held the home button, plugged the phone into my Mac, Itunes then acknowledges that a IPhone is present and is up to date but the screen on my actual ipone remains black????

    It doesn't matter. You can use it right away. Charge it when you need to.

  • Do i have to charge my new iphone for 12 hours before using it?

    Hi I am worried about my battery, I was told that i had to charge it for 12 hour in a row before I started using my Iphone 4s is. Is it true? What if i didn't do it?

    No. Whoever told you that has no idea what they're talking about. Just start using your phone, charge whenever you like, there is no memory affect & you can't overcharge. Read more here:

  • How long do i have to charge my ipad air for the first time?

    For how long do i have to charge my new i-pad air the first time after unpacking it??

    Typically you shouldn't have to charge it. It should come with enough of a charge to use it right out of the box. But you will need to charge it when the battery gets low and you can do that at your convenience....and you can use the iPad while the battery is charging.

  • HT4060 how long do I have to charge my ipad for the first time?

    how long do I have to charge my ipad for the first time?

    Most iPad come wit a 60-70% charge. You can use it immediately and then charge at your convenience.
    FYI
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • New user: I didn't have to charge my new ipod is this right?

    I didn't have to charge my new ipod is this right? I plugged it in and downloaded all the songs from a previous itunes i had and it says it is fully charged! I didn't think this is right...

    The batteries have a charge in them from the factory, but that normally drains as the unit sits on a shelf before it is sold. But since we're talking about iPods, they don't sit on a shelf for long.
    You should still plan on charing it overnight and then running it down to empty (once) to help get the battery working to its full potential.

    I have problems syncing my new iPhone 5 to iTunes. I read somewhere to disable iPhotos and that has allowed me to sync but my photos are not on my iPhone. How can I fix this?

    Try updating to iPhoto 9.4.1. If it's not appearing in your Software Update yet, try updating using a .dmg installer downloaded from the following page on the Apple website: 
    iPhoto 9.4.1
    From the release notes for the new version:
    What's New in Version 9.4.1
    Improves the reliability of syncing to iOS devices via iTunes 
    Fixes an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when using the Export command

    Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
    There are a few steps to do:
    Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
    Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime (iPod touch 4th Generation or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
    Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
    Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
    Now you can sell/give.
    Now, you should get her a new Apple ID to sign in the options above.

    I have just received a new iPhone 4s and have restored it from the last back up I did before I got the new phone, however, after I do the restore the only option I get is to click on "Done" at the top of the page but then no data or information from my phone shows up and when I click on the "iPhone" button on the top right hand side of the page it takes me back to the previous page and gives me the option to set up a new phone or restore again.  I have just restored my husbands iPhone 5 and had no issues at all.  They were both backed up on the same day last week.

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

  • I have just purchased a new iphone 5, just wanted to know that what is the best way to insure my iphone

    i have just purchased a new iphone 5, just wanted to know that what is the best way to insure my iphone

    Contact yor carrier. Your carrier may have some Mobile Insurance that you pay a certain amount per month to insure your device. Most carriers require you have the device less than 30 days in order to insure it. If your carrier is AT&T, AT&T has mobile insurance for only $6.99 per month. AT&T has open enrollment for their mobile insurance now. So anyone has an AT&T line can get insurance coverage for their device.
