I just bought an iPhone 4S 3 days ago, but its battery seems to lose 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tuned off some location services, bluetooth, and even siri,  and made its settings similar to my two-year old iPhone 4.  The 4S can last much shorter.

I am having the exact same problem with my iphone 5.
I took it back to the Apple store 2 days ago and they gave me a new one, but they told me not to restore it from backup cos if something (an app) is corrupted it will happen again. The only thing they could keep was my contacts cos they did something there that allowed them to transfer them to the new phone. I went home, and downloaded only ONE app (facebook), and guess what - THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURING ON THE BRAND NEW PHONE! It is driving me insane as I cant get through the day without my phone.
Really hoping someone has a fix that will work

  • I just bought a new mac 2 days ago!

    Hi all...
    Bought a nice new Mac mini, and I love it. I bought an iBook from a friend in March. That was when I switched from Windows to mac, and I have not touched a Windows computer since!
    Upon leaving the Apple shop, I couldn't get my girlfriend to drive home fast enough. I got home opened up the box and sniffed. The new smell from Apple. Wonderful! My girlfriend caught me smeling my Mac, and promptly fetched the Yellow Pages (looking under section : Men In White Coats). She saw the size of the Mini Mac... and said - 'what the **** is that?' I replied, simply, 'it's my computer more powerful than the laptop'. She didn't believe me......!
    I set it up and switched it on with glee. Welcome screen.... yeah yeah whatever, I wanna play! From having a 1Ghz iBook with 256MB RAM to a 1.83Ghz with 1GB RAM.... this thing will **** near fly. The processor speed isn't much, but the RAM is, and everything works faster.
    But I do have some questions........
    Intel. A nice word.... what is the difference from PPC to Intel? What does all that mean?
    iChatUSBcam... here's one for you... Upon opening up iChat to talk to my mate, it said iChatUSBcam was something.....'blah blah binary'.... not understanding what that meant I pressed the option saying 'Use Rosetta'. I told my mate about this and he said Rosetta will slow me down, slow my computer down and slow the world down and he advised me to look for an alternative.
    2 hours later I could not find an alternative, so I turn to you good people... any Ideas?
    Looking around my pre-installed apps, I saw something that I was kinda interested in when I had my iBook G4. iLife '08.... jumping up and down on my worn out seat, I began to play and found I was disappointed with iMovie. Where's my timeline gone? What has Apple done with it? I can't not have a timeline. On the iBook, I was using iMovie HD 5 I believe, and it has a timeline, I even created a 15 minute DVD with that of my newborn son (now 4 months old!) The timeline is a crucial tool for me. What am I to do?
    Summary: I don't like iMovie '08.
    Solution: Don't use it!
    I hear you shouting at your screen: "Use FInal Cut Pro".... but before you wear your voices out... I bought FCP with my Mini Mac/Mac Mini.... (which way is it said?!)
    Installing FCP, I saw that if I was to install it ALL... Soundtrack Pro and the like, I would have not much hard drive left. (Bought the 80GB option) So I ONLY installed FCP and nothing else. I sat down last night to try and do a 2nd DVD of my son (started on the iBook but never finished!), and my question is this....
    How do I use it?
    And finally.... something that my good friend has - a Dual Screen. He does have a Tower Mac (meaty thing) and so he has the option to do that. I have been on various posts before I started my essay here for a bit of homework about it, and saw 'DualHead2Go'. Simple and effective, and people claim that it will work on a Mac, but their website states Microsuck Windows only.... so who do I believe? Can you shed some light on this??
    Conclusion: I LOVE MY MINI MAC!!!
    I hope you have enjoyed my post, replies would be great (if you have time)
    Best Wishes and Kind Regards to all

    I was just looking to see if my own post posted, so I'll answer a few of your questions, then someone else can come along and tell me what I got wrong.
    First and foremost, was it Final Cut Pro, or Final Cut Express? If it was, indeed, FCP rather than FCE, I am a little surprised at your (apparently not-so) friendly Apple Dealer. I might use FCP on an iMac, but I would think that would be a bit much for a Mac Mini. FCP is a little more power than you need for a 15 min movie of your 4-year-old. While I haven't used FCE (I've used FCP 3.0 for 6 years), I understand it has about 90% of the capabilities of FCP without emptying the wallet or filling up the hard drive.
    However, as folks have said repeatedly in this forum, adding hd space is as easy as buying an external Firewire drive. (Avoid USB drives if you are dealing with video). You might consider going ahead and filling your Mac Mini drive with the FCP installation and use the external drive for your "capture" disk. Or the other way around.
    Don't know about anyone else, but what I would have been yelling at my monitor was "Use iMovie 06", which you apparently can still download for free when you find your new computer comes with iMovie 08. Read the iMovie forums, and you will see that you are not alone in your disgust with Apple's "all newly redesigned" iMovie 08. There are a LOT of things missing, and the common response in the forum is "upgrade to iMovie 06".
    As for Dual Screen capability, you happened to pick the only Mac Desktop computer without that capability. Sorry.
    PowerPC vs Intel is really just a matter of who manufactured the chips. The PPC manufacturer just seemed to have hit a wall on chip speed, and it was time to move on.
    A year or so ago, Apple made the decision to go with Intel as their supplier. Lucky them, it was just as Intel moved to the Duo chip. Of course, I doubt is was an accidental happenstance.
    Rosetta is the on-the-fly translator that allows PPC programs to run (slower) on the Intel chips. However, your friend is incorrect. It does NOT slow the world down. The days are still almost 24 hours long. It might effect global warming, tho. Btw, I suspect that as slow as the programs might run under Rosetta, I doubt they are slowed to less than they are on their native platform. They just aren't as fast as the native-Intel programs are in the Intel.
    With the name of iChatUSBcam, however, I would think it would be an app readily available as a native Intel program. I don't do chat, so am only guessing.
    Hope this helped, or at least kept you busy til someone else corrected any of my errors.

  • I just bought an ipad mini 3 days ago and wish to return it, can I still do that if I opened it?

    I got an iPad mini and just not satisfied with it, if I have opened it and used apps and synced music too it. Can I still return it? Or could I exchange it for the new iPod touch

    You you bought it from Apple, you have 14 days to do so.
    If it's from a reseller, you got to talk to them.
    It's good to restall to Factory Settings to remove all your personal data.

  • I have a problem with my headphone jack and i just bought my macbook pro 10 days ago., I have a problem with my headphone jack and i just bought my macbook pro 10 days ago.

    I am having a problem with the jack in for the headphones. I have bought it brand new from a local authorised apple store about 10 days ago. As soon as I plugged in my headphones and tried them, the sound was coming out of one side of the headphone and the plug inside my macbook pro was loose. When i tried moving it the sound was coming out of the device. What can I do?

    Take it back to the store you bought it from. It will definitely be taken care of

  • Firefox urges me to update my Flash Player to one with system requirements that exceed my five year old laptop's. What can I do, short of buying a new laptop?

    Hi!
    Today's Firefox update urges me to update my Flash Player to a version with system requirements that exceed my five year old laptop's (Intel Core Duo, 1.66 GHz, 667 MHz with Intel Integrated GM Accelerator 950 GM).
    I am already considering dropping back to Flash Player 9 because of the system requirement issue (and seeing blank image boxes at bhg.com). Is Firefox 6.0.2 compatible with Flash Player 9?
    What else can I do, short of buying a new laptop? Surely others have the same issue?

  • Just bought MacBook Pro a few days ago, iPhoto won't open

    Whenever I click on the icon, it says that my library needs to be upgraded to work with that version of iPhoto.
    Do I have to buy iLife 09 or something for it to work?
    I just switched from a PC to a Mac, and I am very confused.

    Make sure that your boot drive is selected as the Startup Drive in System Preferences. What you describe is very unusual behavior. If your Startup drive is selected in Preferences, try booting to your Recovery partition (holding down Command and R on startup) and using Disk Utility to verify and, if needed, repair your hard drive.
    If this doesn't help, you may have to take your MBP to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

  • My audio does not work on my pavilion dv4. i just bought this laptop a few days ago. what's going on

    my audio does not work on my pavilion dv4

    This worked for me.
    Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dashboard.plist.  Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Log out/in
    If it works, delete the .plist on your desktop.
    If  the same, return the .plist to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • I just bought this macbook pro 2 days ago and it has a "password" on it that i don't know what it is?

    it says name which is "owner"
    then it ask for a password? I have no idea what that could be

    Was the box sealed when you took the MacBook home? If it wasn't, I would return it.
    Also, check the Service and Suport Coverage on the Apple site. See if the MB has been registered and if so, the date.

  • HT1766 trying to restore to a back up version of my iphone from 2 days ago, but it states i do not have enough memory...help

    Looks like my daughter deleted one of our calendars; trying to restore a backup version of my iphone, but it errors ouy stating not enough memory...called Apple but they will not help for free as the phone is out of warranty...

    Yes my itunes is up to date 11.0.2(26) and yes I am clicking the restore button as I should be, however it is giving me this memory error; i even removed all my photos from the phone to increase the availiable memory (right now I am using less than half the available memory), it still did not work.
    I suspect something more than user error here...

  • HT1600 I have an apple tv  about two years old. Bought for a present and they never took it. I tried to hook it up cut it get stuck on setting time and date. Any help?

    I have an apple tv  about two years old. Bought for a present and they never took it. I tried to hook it up cut it get stuck on setting time and date. Any help?

    If you can view the main home screen, try selecting "settings" on the far right, then choose recent at the bottom. If not, try just unplugging power for a few minutes, then plug in and try again. Keep in mind you'll need a wireless connection and there may be several updates. Hope this helps-

  • My Iphone 5 will no longer work with my two year old Bose dock?  I'm using an "Apple" 30 pin to Fire adapter

    My Iphone 5 will no longer work wiht my Bose Dock?  The dock is two years old and I'm using an "Apple" 30 pin to Fire adapter?  It stopped after software upgrades?

    I Have the exact same issue. Bose sound dock 3 and it does not work for me with my iPad air 2 and iPhone 5 anymore.
    Used to to work fine 2 weeks ago.
    Is it to do with updating to iOS 8.1.3?
    Thanks.

  • HT1430 My iPhone is two years old, but now seems to be loosing the charge more frequently, any ideas

    My phone is loosing its charge more frequently I leave it on overnight, it's two years old.  Is there a life on the battery?

    All batteries eventually fail. Make an appointment at any Apple store & the genius bar can confirm whether your battery needs replacing or not. If it needs replacing, the genius bar can handle such.

    In case the battery died, you should be aware if it was fully depleted it could take up to ten minutes for it to be charged enough to turn on.
