I thought the lightning charger would charge quicker and not take 8 hours to reach 100% battery from dead?

Is the lightning charger supposed to charge quicker?

What older chargers?   The chargers are them same they have always been.  The only difference is the interface. Its a bit smaller. But the chargers produce the same amount of power.
5watts for the smaller iPhone and iPad Mini chargers, and 12watts for the larger iPad charger.
With that said 8 hours is bit too much. Unless it was completely discharged it should be around the 3 to 4 hour mark to go from 2 or 5% to 100%.  It takes longer if its completely discharged.
If it continues to take this long, the best bet is to take it to an Apple store for evaluation. There may be a problem with the battery. If there is they should exchange it for free.

  • My ipad 2 will only charge if the system is completely shutdown and it can take up too 7-8 hours to reach 100% 2 hours later I'm down to 12-13% what's wrong with it?

    My grandson's IPad 2 won't hold a charge. It will only charge when the system is completely shutdown and it can take up to 8 hours to reach 100%! he's only 5 so he uses it to watch netflixs and playing games but a couple of hours after finally getting a full charge the indicater is down to 12%-13%. Keeping the system plugged up while he's using it doesn't do any good its like its not even plugged up. What could be wrong? Any assistance would be appreciated! I brought the IPad 2 in 2011 and gave it to him in 2013 when I brought myself the IPad Air...so its really not that old to be acting up...

    Charge the phone for 15 minutes with the Apple charger. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears.

  • 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.

  • I bought Photoshop Elements 12 (box - CD) and threw away the box. I thought the serial number would be on the disc sleeve, but it was not. Now I can´t register the product. Is there something I can do to get the number/code to activate Photoshop Elements?

    I bought Photoshop Elements 12 (box - CD) and threw away the box. I thought the serial number would be on the disc sleeve, but it was not. Now I can´t register the product. Is there something I can do to get the number/code to activate Photoshop Elements? Thank you.

    My guess is that you won't be able to do much if you threw away the serial number before using it.  The serial number will not have been externally visible on the box though... doing that would make it available for use by anyone who sees the box in any store.
    To locate the serial number:

    If you remain unable to locate the serial number you might need to head back to wherever you purchased the product to confirm whether or not you might have thrown out the serial number or if it could even possibly have never been provided.
    Beyond that you need to resolve serial number issues with ASdobe Support directly.  Here is a link for chat:

  • I had two backups listed in the information about my icloud account.  I thought the newest backup would have everything.  Is there any way to retrieve what I deleted?  I lost contacts, calendar events, etc.

    I, apparently, mistakenly deleted an older backup to iCloud.  I thought the newest backup would have everything - the original infor + what had been saved recently.  So, I deleted the older backup.  Now it seems that contacts and calendar events have been removed from my phone and MacBook.  Is there any way to retrieve that?
    Thanks.

    And actually, no I am not sure  that the contacts aren't being restored, but then overwritten by iCloud because it has more recent data.  I don't know how to find that out.
    Thanks.

  • Does it matter if the lightning cable is plugged in but not connected to an electrical outlet? Will this drain the ipad battery?

    Does it matter if the lightning cable is plugged in but not connected to an electrical outlet? Will this drain the ipad battery? We use an ipad cart at school, and some of the teachers will connect all the ipads up to the cart, but then neglect to power up the cart. The laptop with the cart has already had the battery wrecked because of this (within a two month period), and I am concerned the ipads may have an issue if this continues to happen. I need some reassurance before I make the other teachers paranoid!

    ok this one is kind in the gray area for me. I say if it is plugged in to a power up cart but not plugged in to a outlet, then all is is doing is not charing, and of course lossing a charge over time in standby, not really causing any issues. User guide and apple sites say it will drain the battery life.
    Important: The iPad battery may drain instead of charge if iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, to a USB hub, or to the USB port on a keyboard.
    however “Battery life” means the time your iPad will run before it must be recharged.
    so I think it will be ok, as long as you charge it as usaul it should be fine.
    just use these links for and understanding for batteries and the ipad, of course the user guide.

  • How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again, time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).

    How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again , time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).
    I guess this may be a feature request. Adobe may think this is a good message for every new eBook.
    I sure would like to decide about that myself.
    Thanks in advance if this will be changed.

    Decided to setup the mail for exchange on my N8 so I could see my work emails. Worked like a charm but after a couple of hours decided I didn't like being that contactable so deleted the mailbox.
    Now to the problem, during setup I was forced to enable the phone lock and had to pick a 7 digit alphanumeric code. Fair enough I thought and went ahead. When I removed the mailbox however the lock remained in place with the default auto time of 30 minutes. When I checked in Phone management there is no option to disable this lock so I thought I could at least change the default time to something bigger but when you try, it remains at 30 mins. You also can't disable the auto time as it pops up an error message saying can't unlock phone.
    Does anyone know if I'm missing something obvious here or is this something which can't be disabled once it's switched on? I've done a soft reset back to factory settings with no luck and the only other thing I can think of is re installing the firmware which seems a bit extreme.
    Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?
    Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
    My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
    You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
    Hope this can help you.

  • IPad 3rd gen no longer charges unless shut off and not recognized by iTunes

    iPad 3rd gen no longer charges unless shut off and not recognized by iTunes.  Done 2 resets, used original charger and cable and bought brand new charger and cable from Apple store.  Nothing works.  This started yapping after the iOS 7.1.1 update.

    Common troubleshooting is to try a different USB port and to give your ipad a reset. (hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot)
    You can also try on a different computer to see if it's the ipad or the computer.
    When you charge, do you try to charge plugged into the wall? that's the best way to charge.
    If you go through all that and it's still not working hten it may be time to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out

  • HT1657 Downloaded 2 rentals and they won't play. They ask if I would like to begin the rental period, I say yes and it takes me to the dvd screen, but does not play. I hit play, fast forward, skip chapters and nothing.

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Need some help in saving video message from viber to my Iphone. I disabled the thing that would save photos and videos automatically then, there comes a video I want to save. After loading and watching it, I press the "save to gallery"

    Need some help in saving video message from viber to my Iphone 5S with new ios 8's program . I disabled the thing that would save photos and videos automatically then, there comes a video I want to save. After loading and watching it, I press the "save to gallery" thing but it doesn't save in gallery. I tried all, restarting my phone, rebooting then turning on the save automatically thing and when I watch it again, it still wouldn't save.

    Probably a good question to ask Viber or look at their support site.
