HT1726 Why should you not charge your ipod when it's in its case?

See the title. Thanks!

Because charging the battery cause the battery to get warms/hot. A case insulates the iPod so it dissipates heat slower so the iPod/battery will get hotter during charging. A higher temperature permanently degrades the battery faster.

  • Are there any iPod Speakers that do NOT charge your iPod when connected?

    Hi there,
    I'm looking for an affordable iPod speaker that does not charge or gives you the option of not having your iPod charge.
    I know people who keep attaching their iPod to the dock speakers that they have, and it constantly keeps charging and that literally killed the battery on their iPod's.
    I know there is the Logitech MM32 (connects through headset jack), but not sure if that is compatible with the new Nano 3rd Generation.
    Does anyone know of any other speakers that does not charge your iPod while connected (when connected to the wall outlet -> AC) or gives you the iPod not to charge the iPod?
    Thanks in advance!

    Constantly charging does NOT kill the iPod battery, it is a myth.
    Once the battery is charged the main charging stops and it is switched to 'trickle' charge which means it get a slight charge every so often.
    There is not problem at all in keeping the iPod topped up, just make sure you discharge it fully approx once a month as per Apple's instructions here :-
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipods.html
    And general battery advice here :-
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/
    The key is the number of full charge cycles you o through, if you only ever keep topping up the battery then you will not go through full charge cycles very quickly. If you only ever top up the last 5% of the battery then you can do this 20 times and it will only count as 1 charge cycle. Based on the 400 they say you can get from a battery before the capacity drops to 80% that would mean you could top up the battery that last 5% over 400*20=8,000 times.

  • HT201413 Why does iTunes not see my iPod when connected?

    My computer does not see my ipod when I connect it to it.  Nor does it come up in iTunes.  How can I sync my music with this problem going on?

    Try one or more of the following:
    > Restart your computer
    > Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
    > Reset iDevice Settings (will not delete everything)
    > Go to My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista & 7) and see if your iDevice shows (should show as a digital camera)
    > Restore iDevice completely (will delete everything)
    > Make sure both iTunes and iOS firmware is Up-To-Date

  • Why can you not fix your mistake???

    I am so upset and disappointed with Verizon customer service right now!!!!
    I had an email about upgrading my son's device early for free to the iphone 5c 32gb. I tried to apply it online on Saturday, 8/23/14, around 9/10am. It would not work online and said that the offer could not be validated online. So, I chatted with an agent on the website (Judy) I believe her name was. I explained everything to her and what not, at the end, she told me that I would need to call Verizon. I called and was on hold on and off for about 30 minutes while the lady checked with her supervisor to put in the order, she asked me what color and checked to ensure it was in stock, she verified my home address as shipping, explained that I would have to pay the $30 activation fee on my next bill and told me that the phone would be shipped in 1-2 business days. Here today is Thursday and I had not received the phone. I call Verizon, the first time, someone hung up on me. The second time, I spoke to a guy and he "cold" transferred me to another person, where I had to explain everything again. She told me that I was supposed to accept terms and conditions and since I was already on the phone with her, that she could transfer me to some automated line where I could put my son's number in and follow prompts. When I put the number in, it went to activation of the line instead, I pressed the button for his phone number and it transferred me to someone else. This person, was very polite, just want to put that out there. She then explained to me that they stopped the promotion on Friday and that she could see in notes where I did speak to someone and that she went over the $30 activation and all that stuff even had the color of the phone on the notes and that she had a supervisor approval, BUT she didn't order the phone!!!!!  So, the only option, based on the supervisor, was that they could graciously offer me an early upgrade for $99.99. So, I asked to be escalated to the supervisor. She informed me that it would be a 20 minute wait and that she would be in and out while I was waiting. The supervisor, believe his name was Richard, kept stating that he didn't understand how I could feel like they owe me anything because they show the promotion closed early and that all he could do was the $99.99. During our conversation, I had to repeat myself many times because he wanted to "make sure he understood me", He also explained to me that if he couldn't finish a sentence without being interrupted, that he would end the call (now mind you, been on the phone for an hour and a half, had not cussed YET, trying to be patient and hoping they would resolve this. He was a jerk. Not because he couldn't fix the problem, though I am not happy because of that, but the entire time, his voice was very cold, as if it did not matter to him whether I left and went to another cell phone carrier and it was more important for him to contradict me about one of the comments I made about being able to upgrade online, where he felt he needed to say that I could only upgrade early through calling them. I love Verizon service and coverage, but if you guys cannot fix this issue ( I did request to hear from his supervisor (which of course will take 24-48 hours), then I will go with someone who has worse coverage but will fix the problem when they are wrong!!!!!

    Ok, so you are saying that it is okay to go thru the ordering process with someone and tell them the phone is in stock and give you one price but then not actually order the phone and not tell you, so you then have to call back and go thru 3 reps before anyone even tells you? Original end date for the promotion is tomorrow.  When I spoke to the rep last Saturday she even told me the phones were in stock. Why should I have to pay a different price when I went thru the ordering process and was quoted at only having the $30 activation fee because they stopped something and didn't tell me and they have all of this in the notes!!

  • HT201342 Why can you not use your iCloud account as your apple ID?

    ??

    This answer is probably the most popular one on the forum.  But apparently, this is a view not shared by virtually anyone else in the industry.  You can pretty much point to the same risks at stake for Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, or what-have-you.  No one else requires you to use a primary account other than their own. 
    The predicament you mentioned could easily be resolved by requiring multiple contact numbers and addresses, which Apple kind of does already.
    My thinking is there's either something more 'sinister' at play, or Apple just haven't really took the time to think about this issue.

  • If you charge your iPod when its half way or like 85% will it degrade the battery?

    I use my iPod for like 10 minutes then I charge it. Will this effect the battery in any way?

    However, to maximize battery life Apple recommends almost fully discharging and then fully charging monthly.

  • Why do you not use projects? When to use them.

    I responded to a post about what mistakes novice LabVIEW developers commonly make.  One I feel is a common problem is not wrapping up closely coupled reuse code into projects that modularize code sections.
    As examples there are nice Instrument drivers that contain all of the functionallity of a specific piece of test equipment.  Keeping these vis that work together in a single reusable project is quite helpful.  Other reusable pieces of code that are less related together might be more of a problem.  For example a "Delay.vi" and a subvi that calculates a CRC for your company's propriatary communications bus have little cohiesion.
    Yet namespacing might suggest that those vis sort of go together.  Delay.vi on MyCorp.lvproj does change the problems Delay.vi from Mycorp has when YourCorp has another vi named "Delay.vi" and neither is in any sort of project.
    The real issues seem to show up when we forget how each type of LabVIEW containers affect the "fully qualified name" of that peice of code asnd that the FQN effects what we really want...... I want my code to be protected from accidental change because I want to use that other code too!
    That make sense.....Lets chat.

    The project does not provide namespacing, because it is not a container. You can think of it more as an execution sandbox, although being a sandbox is only one (relatively small, in my personal experience) reason to use a project. What you're thinking of is a project library.
    In general, you would want to avoid having your entire reuse library in a single .lvlib, because as you said, there is no real connection between VIs which perform unrelated reuse functions. The obvious answer is to use VIPM - it automatically renames the VIs with whatever namespace you choose, so that each package can be completely separate.
    Another alternative would be a packed library for each component, but that has its own set of problems.
    Exactly the points I wanted free discussion on!  Things I would point out.:
    A  *.lvproj does in fact aid with grouping logically related functions and, does provide some namespacing.  That "On<target ,project> in the FQN is not known to the vi itself but can make a huge difference to the caller!  Lets use A TestStand proxy as an example caller and a UUTxxx.lvproj would be a common grouping of test steps, objects and methods that act to test functionality of "xxx" units.  Say we use a DAQmx device to test these units, create our DAQmx Task and persist it to UUTxxx.lvproj (yes we can do that, Task creation at run time should be avoided but that is another topic).  When calling the lvproject item from TestStand the proxy asks the project for the vi and its dependancies encluding any DAQmx tasks only that project knows about.  Quite powerful namespaceing can be achieved with a simple *.lvproj!

  • Why should u not leave the case on the ipod while it is charging?

    Why should u not leave the case on the ipod while it is charging?

    Because charging the iPod battery generates heat which may become excessive if the iPod is left in a case. If you don't allow the heat to escape, then you risk damage to the iPod.

    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support  - link doesn't state that voicemail is part of the backup
    iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview  states that VVM is part of the icloud backup.
    You can also contact your cell phone provider - as voicemail is a carrier feature.
