  • My iPod loses its charge pretty quickly it there something I'm not doing (besides turning "off" the app after I use them I the evening?

    I just became the proud parent of an iPhone last week. I'm surprised at how fast I lose my charge during its normal use everyday. I charge it every night, is that too much? Do I need to let it go completely drained before recharging it each night? I do remember to "turn off" the apps I use every evening. Is there something else I should be doing? Do I need to take off some apps if they might be draining the battery? Thanks, Trish

    Allow the battery to be completely depleted before charging the battery is worse for the battery than charging more often. I connect my iPhone to a power source whenever possible so when I take off, the battery is closer to being fully charged or fully charged. I leave my iPhone connected to a power source every night. When the battery is fully charged while remaining connected to a power source, charging stops.

  • My iPhone 4 doesn't want to charge is there anything I can do to try to fix it?

    I know my charger and the cord work.

    Clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush. If still problem, and you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, use a small amount of Isopropyll Alcohol with the toothbrush and clean the charging port

  • I have an Ipod touch 3rd generation and for some reason its not holding the battery charge is there something i can do to help keep the charge longer

    i have a ipod touch and its not holding its charge I have charged it over night and then used it say for like an hour or two and the battery is drained .is there something I can do tohelp prolong the battery use.

    Try to set it up "as new device" and don't use the latest backup afterwards. Check your setings as well: Apple - Batteries - iPod
    If the problem persits, you may need a new battery.

  • Most times i am not within range of a wi-fi connection if there something i can add to my ipod touch to access the internet from afar?

    Hello Most times I am not within range of a wi-fi connection is there something i can add to my ipod touch to connect to the internet ?

    You can purchase a MiFi or similar device.  It acts like a wifi hotspot and connects to the internet via a cellular connection.  You need a data plane too.

  • I jumped into a swimming pool, did a few lengths and then realised that my iPod was in my pocket!!! I have tried putting it in rice but it still won't turn on or anything! Could I get it fixed anywhere?

    I jumped into a swimming pool, did a few lengths and then realised that my iPod was in my pocket!!! I have tried putting it in rice but it still won't turn on or anything! Could I get it fixed anywhere? Or is there another trick to recover it?

    If it is dry (in rice for a week and changing the rice every day or so)
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My I Touch keeps skipping songs, these songs play on my i tunes but wont play on my i touch

    My I Touch keeps skipping songs that I have downloaded onto it. These songs play on my I Tunes but wont play on my I Touch. At first it was just a few new songs at first but now its getting worse. Help!

    Hello all - I had the same problem with my iPod Touch - The problem with mine was that it started happening when I added new music to my iPod Touch it started skipping most of the songs when I tried playing it in my car stereo, it would only play some songs but not all (my solution) - I back tracked and deleted ALL the NEW songs that I had added recently and after deleting ALL the new songs I tested my iPod Touch and it started working normal again so the problem wasn't the iPod Touch the problem was one or more of the new songs I added was corrupted and it was causing my iPod to skip most of the songs I tried to play - Nothing I tried was helping NOTHING - All you need to do is back track to all the songs you added recently and delete them until your iPod Touch starts functioning normal again...Hope this helps it sure helped me ;-)

  • I'm conecting my Ipad to the computer to charge and it shows the charging sing for a few seconds then says not charging, do I need to bring it in to get that fixed or is there something I can try to do on my own?

    I'm conecting my Ipad to the computer to charge and it shows the charging sign for a few seconds then says not charging, do I need to bring it in to get that fixed or is there something I can try to do on my own?

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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 (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.

    Please help.

    You can try to log out of iMessage and then sign back in.  However, even under optimal conditions, iMessage will not always work.  That's why the option of 'Send as SMS' is so important.  There might be temporary outages in the related iMessage servers.

  • I have an iPad that is frozen up.  I am unable to unlock 000000000000000r slide to turn off.  Is there something I can do to fix or do I need to take in for repair?

    I have an iPad2 that is frozen up.  I am unable to unlock or slide to turn off.  Has anyone had this issue?  Is there something I can do to fix or do I need to have it repaired?

    I just posted to you in the other thread:
    The Home button is the round indented circle the with small square printed in it, at the bottom of your iPad' face above where you plug the iPad cable in.
    The Power (sleep) button is the the small rectangular button on the upper rim of your iPad at the right corner.
    to Reset your iPad:
    hold both the Home button and the Power button down for approx 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  If a red slider appears, ignore it.  When the Apple logo appears let go promptly and wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on.
    Then download the iPad manual, which has a picture of your iPad with arrows telling you what everythings is.
    To find the iPad manual go into iBooks on your iPad, select Store at the upper left, scroll down to Popular Collections, then scroll right to iOS 7 Guides, select this, then select the iPad User Guide and it will download for free.  Then you will have it on your iPad in iBooks to refer to whenever you need it.
    You can also read it online on the Apple website.

    Hi Amandarendalll,
    If you are having issues with an iPod accessory that you purchased fairly recently, you may find the following Service page helpful (Apple Accessories is the last item on the list to the left):
    Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
    Accessories are covered under the coverage of the iPod they are included with, or under their own warantee if purchased seperately, as noted below:
    Apple One (1) Year Limited Warranty – Accessory - For Apple and Beats Branded Products Only.

  • I have a mac book pro and have already downloaded adobe flash player. However when i go to watch a video it says "Block Plug In". But my adobe is already up to date. Can someone help me to fix this so i can watch videos?

    I have a mac book pro and have already downloaded adobe flash player. However when i go to watch a video it says "Blocked Plug In". But my adobe is already up to date. Can someone help me to fix this so i can watch videos?

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 7. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
    Step 3
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 4
    If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    Open this folder as in Step 4:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    Step 6
    Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    Step 7
    If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
    Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
    Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 8
    Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
