  • Just bought an iPhone 5s, as I turned on the phone it showed 71% of battery, I drained it to 15% and next charged it for 3 and a half hours to fully charged. Did I do any mistake ? Should have I let it to get discharged in order to fully charge it ?

    Just bought an iPhone 5s, as I turned on the phone it showed 71% of battery, I drained it to 15% and next charged it for 3 and a half hours to fully charge. Did I do any mistake ? Should have I let it to get discharged in order to fully charge it ? Somebody told me I should have let it discharged and then to fully charge, but I didn't do it, my iphone is working very well, the battery too but I'm worried if the battery lifespan is gonna get worsen soon if I didn't abide by the rules and procedures of battery charging.
    I had problems on my previous iPhone 4s, it died because I didn't replaced the battery with a new one because my battery never worked well and I never knew it , the battery used to overheat my iPhone and it caused to damage my processor completely to death. Who does the replacement of the iphone processor?  I need help how to maintain with the iphone battery. And also let me know if I did something wrong that I should get worried about or not ?!?!

    Apple does not fix the iPhone 4S, they replace the phone. If not covered by warranty, called an out of warranty exchange. Cost is US $199. Make an appointment at any Apple store.
    Be aware, Apple does not sell iPhone parts, thus there is no legitimate source for genuine parts.

  • HT4060 ipad does not seem to be charge.  has been plugged in for about 5 hours and low battery photo remains...cannot turn on or off... only low battery photo and apple symbol or blank page appear

    ipad does not seem to be charging.  Has been plugged in for about 5 hours and low battery icon remains same...alternates with apple symbol or blank page.  cannot turn ipad on or off

    The iPod Touch kept trying to reboot yesterday but would only show the Apple logo screen then shut off - it finally drained the battery overnight I am guessing. Connected to USB the battery charging icon flashes.
    Took it back to Best Buy, but they wouldn't touch it or replace it since it's under warranty.
    To any potential buyers - beware. My best advice is to look somewhere besides Apple. Every Mac user I know has had to return a Mac, laptop, etc. Really poor quality control, and the retailers agree (Geek Squad told me they have had the same experience with Apple products).

  • HT4060 I just bought an ipad mini. Should I fully charge my iPad mini the first time .

    I just bought a new iPad mini. I was wondering if I should fully charge it the first time to maximise the battery life . Please help !

    Yes, but that doesn't maximize the battery's life.

  • How long does it take for an ipad mini with retina to fully charge

    just wondering how long it would take for the ipad mini retina display to fully charge

    I would allow another one hour to trickle charge the battery (i.e. 4+1=5 hours)

  • HT4061 iPad mini unable to be fully charged. Any help?

  • My ipad mini takes 5 or more hours to fully charged from 0% is that normal? Im using a 5w adapter

    Im using a 5w adapter

    It's normal, and more using a 5W power adapter (a iPad with Retina display can take 6 hours to charge completely with a 12W power adapter).
    If you want a faster charge, get the 12W power adapter > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD836LL/A/apple-12w-usb-power-adapter

  • IPhone 5s is taking 6-8 hours to fully charge

    My phone used to charge in about 2 hours and now it takes 6-7 hours. Do I take it to the apple store or my service provider since I have insurance? Or just struggle with it.

    I wouldn't think it would be a battery problem on a 5S, but then anything is possible. Is it possible for you to change chargers. The charger could be defective. Are you seeing an increase in data usage? It is possible the phone is stuck trying to process something and would make the battery drain while trying to charge. Does the phone get very hot when charging? Does the phone seem to be working normally except for the charge? If you cannot try another charger, I would make the appointment at Apple in case it is a battery issue. They can diagnose that.

  • My ipad wont power on, its fully charged. Does anybody know how to unlock the ipad by the home button and power button?

    please help

    You may have to hold the home and power buttons down for more than 10 to 15 seconds.  That is the normal amount of time it should take to do a soft-reset on an iDevice.  But I have had a similar problem and found that if I held the buttons down for a couple of minutes my device (iPhone, iPad, iPod) would finally unlock and start up.  You just have to be patient and hold the buttons down.  You might also try doing this with your iPad plugged into the charger.

  • HT201263 iPad screen went black when fully charged and would not come out of sleep mode, turn on or off and did nothing when connected to USB port?

    I really do not want to restore this iPad if I can find another solution.  I had to let the battery drain completely in order to prepare it for restore, so I'm prepared to do that if I must.

    Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • HT5423 How many hours is the charging time of the iPad 4th gen?

    I am charging my ipad, & noticed that its been 9 hours & still its 90 percent. I just wanna know, how many hours is the charging time of an iPad before it gets 100% full? & is it normal that the charger become hot? Hope someone can answer this question. Thank u. 

    Chargers, and the unit being charged where the battery is located, will get warm during charging...charging does work on the battery.  If it is hot or too hot to handle then you need to decide if it is too uncomfortable and needs to be checked at the Apple store genius bar.
    Nine hours is a long time to charge, but if you discharged all the way it can take 4-8 hours to fully charge.
    If the charger is getting very hot and taking a long time to charge you may want to take it to the genius bar and have it checked by the techs.

  • Mountain Lion taking longer to fully charge battery than Lion?

    In Lion it took me an hour to fully charge the battery and I had roughly 4-8 hrs of battery. Now in Mountain Lion it takes me 4 hrs to fully charge the battery and it only lasts 4 hrs? Any fix for this? I already tried an SMC reset and it didn't work. Please help. Thanks.

    Also, does formatting the ssd of the macbook air and performing a clean install of lion over mountain lion format boot camp partitions too or just the osx partition?

  • 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

    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
