I got one too. Life is very good.

After reading all the negative reviews here and elswhere, I was curious to hear what it sounded like. (I also needed to return the JBL On Tour travel speakers I bought last week; very nice sounding but too tinny). So I went to the Apple Store in Brea, CA today and checked it out. Okay so it's sort of gigantic and not that light but when I listened to a variety of musical examples/styles on it, both soft and loud, it beat everything else they were selling, even the Bose. So it's big and old school - I cleared off a shelf in my bedroom and it will stay there, unless I want some tunes on the patio, in which case I'll unplug it and go DC. Everything sounds great on it, especially jazz and my favorite, blues guitar-based music.

Yes, I noticed that solo-oriented works such as those you like sound excellent through the HiFi. It has a depth and warmth that really brings stands well with single instrument projection. Chambers sound excellent, too. Go and pick up an Andrés Segovia CD, rip it lossless, and listen to his guitar work on the HiFi. Sublime. It's like you are in the room with the Master.
For Big Bands and Symphonics, I need a little more separation.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The **** battery life ain't good, and I got so irritated earlier because dum iPod kept crashing !!!!!!! Now I'm frustrated again because I had to type a question 3-4 times already !!!!!! It's better now that I had restart it !! Battery life ain'tgood

OOmgg are you serious I have to write another paragraph..... Uh the iPod is just slow n keeps crashing... Also battery life isn't good ! I love iPhome thogh.... It can be addicting !

How long does a full charge lst and what is the iPod doing during that time? About 4-5 hours of video playback seems to be the norm
See:
http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain
Also for both crashing and battery life
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Is it possible i am using duplicate charger for charging battery but battery life is very short 6 hours what's the problem

Is it possible i am using duplicate charger for charging battery but battery life is very short 6 hours what's the problem

First, the battery. The recalled battery replacements have not held up well, and, unfortunately, feedback on the Apple site isn't what I would call complementary about their batteries. When I replaced mine, I got a Newer Technology battery from OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/BAP17AL60RS/ . Mine has 104 cycles on it and 4113 mAh capacity.
Now, charging. There are only 4 components in the charging circuit: Power adapter, DC-in card, battery and logic board. It sounds like your power adapter, being newer, is probably fine. Where the power adapter plugs into the computer, is that jack loose? If you put a pen or pencil on it and push it a little, gently, does it wiggle side-to-side? If so, your DC-in card may be bad. Assuming the battery stats are good and the battery is good, it should charge. Sooo, last but not least, is the logic board. Probably the best thing you can do is find a friend with a Powerbook or visit an Apple store or Apple authorized service provider to use another power supply that they know works (just to be sure) and a substitute battery (again, to be sure). If indeed yours are good, and I went through this a few months ago with one of our Powerbooks, you can replace the DC-in card, and if that doesn't work, then the logic board.
If you want Apple to do that, have them send it to the Apple depot, where they'll do whatever is required to put the Powerbook in close to new condition. Put an old, bad, Apple battery in it, so they'll replace it. Cost runs around $350 if the case isn't banged up, and if it is, the price can go up. When ours went in, they replaced the logic board and put a new battery in. Of course ensure your data is backed up, and if anything is really confidential, move it onto an encrypted disk on your hard drive or back it up and delete it.
If you have the store replace the logic board, it will run you more than double what they charge to send it to the depot.

BlackBerry Z10 Battery Life is VERY LOW!!!

Hi,
The battery life of my BlackBerry Z10 is very low. After a 100% charge it drains in less than 7 hours.
Is it normal for this device or something is wrong with my phone's battery?
I am always logged in to the following apps, 24x7, using 3G network:
1) Facebook
2) WhatsApp
3) Google Talk
4) 1 Official Mail Account (MS Exchange)
5) 2 Yahoo Mail Accounts (All folder sync is enabled)
6) LinkedIn
Any suggestions or tips??
Thanks,
Ashish

You've got a lot of apps running at once and that will definitely contribute to your battery's performance. If you're getting 7 hours out of your battery with all those apps running, I'd say you're doing fairly well. You can try closing some of them but I suspect you use them all frequently and would rather keep them running.
Topping up your battery's charge throughout the day is not a bad idea. It's recommended that you charge your battery for at least 15 minutes each time you plug it in. You might want to try that. Just keep in mind that the battery in the Z10 is recognized as a very good battery; you wouldn't get 7 hours out of some other smartphones' batteries.
One more suggestion would be to jump over to the Q10. It has a smaller screen but its battery is nothing short of stellar.
Cheers.

Anyone having problems with there iphone 5 battery life been very poor

I have had the iphone 5 for 4 weeks now and the battery life is very very poor at first i thought it must just be how it is....was dissapointed tho from fully charged to flat in 4 hours with little use or going to bed and waking up with the battery life going down 17%!!! but then 1 day i charged it fully and it never went down for ages, over 24 hours and it still had 25% this lasted for about 4 days then all of a sudden back to been rubish, i sent it in to apple who returened it without doing a single thing (apart from scratched an dented the bottom!!) it was exactly the same ..poor.....but then last night i charged it took it off charge at 6pm (english time) and now at 00.42am the day after it still has 11%....clearly ther is a fault somewere!!! has anyone had the same experience or got any tips for me please?
cheers, Danny

Yes a lot of people are having this issue it's from the ios 6 update. Some users are reporting battery drains a lot after updating their device
There have always been a lot of battery problems posted about in these forums following each and every iOS update. Personally, I believe that the battery really isn't discharging any faster, it is just that the charging circuit is confused and needs to be reset. I always perform a setup as a new phone for major updates, for example iOS3 to iOS4, 4 to 5, 5 to 6, which should be a 'reset' for the charging system, but I do a simple update for point releases--6.0 to 6.0.1, etc. I have never had a problem with battery performance when performing the full update as new, only when I did a 'normal' update for a point release. If I perform an update with a restore from the old backup after a major update the battery problem did appear.
After every iOS point update I always do a full reset--home and on/off buttons held down until the Apple appears--three or four times over the course of a couple of days. I allow the phone to fully charge overnight every night.
This has always resulted in 'normal' battery life after one or a few reset cycles. By 'normal' I mean that a fully charged iPhone, with email and other notifications enabled and set to push, and no particular attention paid to battery conserving techniques, will discharge to about 89% over a 10 hour day. If I make a few phone calls and surf the web a bit then the level has fell to 70% or so, but unless I heavily use my iPhone 5 it doesn't drop below that point.
Prior to performing the resets the charge level would sometimes drop into the 50's or 60's or even lower in a few hours without using the iPhone. This problem 'scenario' has happened with every iPhone I have ever owned and I've owned all but the original iPhone.
As always, YMMV. I make no claims as to its usability for anyone else.

TV (video) output from new nano looks very good!

Just a comment for those who may be wondering how the video quality on the new iPod nano looks when output to a TV. I have one of the old iPod AV docks with the s-video port and the new nano seems to work fine with that combination (using a standard s-video cable between the dock and the TV). Thus far I'm really impressed with the video quality, I can't see a single problem, the color is good, the quality and sharpness is as good as I've seen from any iTunes Store content, and as far as I can tell the frame rate is fine (no stuttering, skipped frames, or problems with audio sync). I'm amazed that such high quality video can come from such a small device. If it continues to look this good (after viewing more content and after more testing) then I think Apple may have "hit one out of the park." This thing could turn out to be the most popular iPod yet (if you have any interested in video and still want a small device).

I just found out that the video out (TV) on the new nano supports video playlists so you can create playlists for back-to-back display on the TV. Not even the AppleTV will do that (even though the latter has been a highly requested feature for the AppleTV since day one). In fact, if you can do without the on-TV menus you may find that the nano is a better video output device than is the AppleTV (that is, the menus system on the nano doesn't appear on the TV output).
Also, I just competed a few hours of video playback to my big-screen TV from the nano and I'm still impressed. No video problems at all, looks very good considering the quality limitation from the content that is currently on the iTunes Store (limited to standard definition, no HD movies, HD TV, or HD music videos as yet).

The wifi at my school isn't very good. And I can't send iMessages through it. It works for some apps like score center and my radar app, but doesn't work for other apps like clash of clans and iMessage. How can I get it to work on that wifi network

In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

I have an Epson scanner that is apparently no longer supported because it is a PowerPC app. It's a very good scanner that worked fine until I upgraded to OS Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro. Any suggestions on how I can continue to use it?

Battery Life is Very Short Recently

Hi, my MacBook Pro battery life has been really dying quickly in the past couple weeks. My MacBook Pro is new as of December, and has only gone through 107 cycles. I am only running Chrome and Microsoft Word and a couple of other applications (Mail and iCal) as occasionally needed. I have been using my computer for all of 20 minutes now, running just Chrome, and I have burned the battery down to 82% and it only has 2:13 left. I don't really know what is going on, and I like to think that I keep very good care of my computer. Any suggestions as to why this is happening? I am currently running 10.8.3 with 4GB of RAM.

While it's normal for your battery to discharge faster when running certain applications. Having your screen set at the highest brightness settings also plays a role.
Try this - set your screen brigthness down to 50% - turn bluetooth off if you're not using it.
Google Chrome does use up your battery resources - try using firefox instead.
With all those apps you have running in the background - it is normal for your battery to discharge faster.
Open up activity monitor (have a look at my screenshot below) - under " All Processes " not my " My Processes " see what using 10% and above in your % CPU section - highlight it and hit quit process.
See if that improves your battery life.
107 Cycles is quite high for 4 month old Macbook Pro.
You can keep it plugged in when you're close to a power outlet - it will not damage/overcharge your battery if you keep it plugged in.

Very good. I have a macbook pro retina 15 "First Generatio.

Very good.
I have a macbook pro retina 15 "First Generation.
I read that you can not increase the memory or video card to me is worrying that neither the apple house can do that, because it is way too expensive equipment, not to increase capacity.
I do not think that's impossible, I would like to know about this is disturbing please.
Thank you.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

WRT150N - Very Good Signal with little or no connectivity from wireless computer

I just hooked up my WRT150N today and have had countless issues with the wireless connection. Literally only 50 feet away and I was having LOW signal strength and intermittent connection. After HOURS on phone with tech support, and after downloading the firmware to no help, they said to just play around with the channels until it improves. Well, I followed some advice in one of the other threads and suddenly the strength jumped up to Very Good. The problem is that it shows 4 out of 5 bars lit up and at times all 5 bars lit up but it still says Limited or NO connectivity. Anyone know how to fix this? I reset the settings based on the advice of another thread and have LOW signal but yet excellent connection and video feed. I'd prefer the "Very Good" strength AND great connectivity which is obvious. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!!!!

You can be physically close yet have poor signal strength is you have a very absorbent wall between the client and the router. So that's one ting to watch for. Having the router near any metal, cordless phone system, the ground, or other absorbing material (think of things that absorb water, like drywall) will also reduce signal levels.
Most often this sort of problem is interference from other routers that your neighbor has nearby, or cordless phone systems, which share the same frequency space as 802.11 routers.
Install the utility "Network Stumbler", available free from http://netstumbler.com/ Then check for what other routers and clients appear in NetStumbler, the channels they are on, and their signal strengths (as well as yours). You can use this to find a channel that is less congested and spaced far apart from competing channels (they overlap in frequency significantly), as well as to optimize your antenna orientation, router location, client location, and router settings.

Anyone got one of these?

Previous post deleted by mods - apologies.
I need some advice on this product:
It's called a "padprop" which allows you to apparently use the iPad more comfortably etc.
Anyone got one of these? What do you think of it - any good?
TIA

Right, and isn't that the one where you don't even have an iPad and you're pimping this UK iPad product just because you thought we'd all appreciate knowing about it?
If it was pulled, as you say, then clearly I wasn't the only one thinking that it smelled perfectly like an ad.

I got one too. Life is very good.
