HT1476 How long should it take to charge an iphone 5s?

My new iphone 5s has been on charge for 5 hours and it is not half charged yet. How long should it take to charge?

That's not really true. Open apps, except for the one you are actively using, use no power. They are in a suspended state. And killing apps in the Quick Launch screen does not necessarily stop ones with background processes from using power.
What you should be using the Quick Launch screen for is to switch quickly between applications without having to go back to the Home screen and navigating to the app you want every time.

    How long should it take to charge I Pad 3 when the battery is all the way down?

    That depends on a number of things, but using the power adapter plugged into a wall socket it takes my iPad 3 about 5 hours to fully recharge.

    How long should it take to back up iphone for the first time with about 6 gigs?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
    What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps.

  • HT1476 How long does it take to charge a new ipod touch?

    I just bought a new 64gb ipod touch 5th generation, and i have had it plugged in for two hours or so now...So I'm just wondering how long it will take to charge until I can use it...Everytime I unplug it to try and turn it on and set it up, it never does. Do I have to have it charging for hours upon hours to charge it for the first time.
    If anyone could help, thatd be great

    Apple does not specify any special initial charging time. I would use the iPod without charging if the indicator indicates about 50% or greater. There is no % battery on the iPod. You just have to look at the battery icon in upper right and judge the % battery.

    How long should it take to restore new 4s iPhone backup from iCloud?

    That depends mostly on your Internet connection download speed, and how much data you have on the phone. It could take anything from a few minutes to several days. There is no "one size fits all" answer.

  • HT4060 how long should it take to charge an iPad 3

    Hi,  I have an Ipad3 with wifi and 4gs.  Does anyone know how long it is supposed to take to charge the battery?  Mine takes several hours.
    Many thanks
    Jayney

    Thanks so much - really grateful - it is taking about 5 + hours to fully charge and the charger is getting a bit hot - which is usual - I believe.
    All the best

    I have never timed my charges, but I would guess 2 to 3 hours. Just plug it in and let it go.

  • How long should it take to charge the newest iPad?

    My battery was completely drained when I went to bed last night. I plugged it into a wall outlet and 9 hours later it is only charged to 89%. Is this normal? I have a WIFI only 64GB iPad.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W 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%.

    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.

  • HT1476 how long does it take to charge

    can you check your phone and see if its charged ?

    When it is plugged in look at the little battery bar in the top right of the screen. When it is full then it is charged.
    Also you can go to settings< general< usage< battery percentage. Make sure that option is on and it will give you your battery amount as a percent thus allowing you to see when it is 100%.

  • How long should it take to restore the iphone 5 from iCloud?

    I had 3.8 gb in my iphone 4 backup and this new restore seems to be stopping at 6.1 mb. Restored twice with same results. Said device is still restoring. Nearly 24 hours.

    Something is wrong.
    - Reset the iPhone.
    Reset iPhone: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - and try again.

  • When my iphone 4s goes completely dead how long should it take to recognize the charger and begin to charge?

    when my iphone 4s goes completely dead how long should it take to recongize the charger and begin to charge?

    How do you know it is not charging? Do you see anything on the screen at all? Have you tried a reset? Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons until you see the Apple logo and then release. If the phone was completly dead, it may take up to 15 seconds or more for the Apple logo to appear.

  • How long should it take my iPad to charge

    How long should it take my iPad to charge?

    What model iPad? 1,2,3,4 or mini? When you ask a question, you need to provide enough info to answer.
    I assume you mean from near 0% to 100%.
    Depending on the model, it takes 3 to about 8 hours.
    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.
