IPAD 2 loses battery Power Quickly

Problem 1: Within the last few weeks, my Ipad 2 loses battery power even when its powered down I've tried both closing the cover and using the main swithch on the top right. In all cases, I can start out at 100% and within a couple of hours be down to 85% after using it once and either closing the cover or pushing the switch. Its as if something is still running. I looked at the processes with all my apps off and didn't see any surprises . I have processes 9424 dataccessd, 9412 ptpd, 6581 AdSheet~ipad, and 1340 iapd as well as a dozen or so process with numbers in the double digits from 49 on down. It took me 9 hours last night to bring my pad from 20% to 100%.
Problem 2: I recently rented a movie from Itunes and tried to play it through my HDMI interface on my TV using the appropriate apple interface cords. It started to play then I got a message that told me that the device I was trying to play the movie on wasn't authorized for protected media even though I had no trouble playing it on my ipad.?????What's with that?

There is no "4S software".
All iPhones run iOS.
There are dozens of versions of iOS. Which version is your device on?

Is it just me, or is my iPhone 4s and iPad 2 losing battery power quicker

Before iOS update the ipad 2 and iphone 4s made it through the entire day. After updating to iOS 6, my devices hardly make it through the whole day. iPhone makes it half way through the day and the iPad just barely makes it. I never have the location on or bluetooth. WIFI is sometimes, but thats not the point. It always made it through the day, always. That's why I got the phone. I've used the iphones since 2007 and Apple knows it. This is the worst I've seen it, and I am losing my likes for this phone. I am not going to buy the iPhone 5 to solve the problem.

My 1 month old IPAD 2 (Christmas for my wife & I) Wifi worked fine before I had to go out of town just after upgrading to 5. Bought a Verizon MiFi 4G LTE wifi hot spot while out of town, really nice with really great data rates.
Then I came home to the apartment. Ipad worked fine last night, while updating my magazines, surfing, reading and playing some games. But this morning WiFi is in and out like a yo-yo. I have 10-30 second cycle on ALL Wifi transmitters I have access to in the building. I cannot get one to lock on but for very short periods if at all. (Wife is not going to like this when she gets home.)
Have even reset all my wifi settings on my router and my MiFi. Cannot even link into an unsecured Linksys someone has in the building. Unsat being tethered to my computer or diddling on my smartphone.
Believe this is a software/antenna coordinatation issue. The selectivity between the signals (b/g/n & unsecured) is not being bracketed and locked onto.
APPLE: Listen, this is NOT a router problem folks, although, as suggested in other posts, you might want to isolate to g or n to make the signal easier to lock on. The WEP/WPA could be a problem with the selectivity being toughter when you use the higher encryption (WPA/WPA2). One post who was desperate shifted to WEP (128-Bit) encryption.
Apple really should hire some decent antenna engineers, then match them up with the software folks. This really should NOT be happening. My unit has not been dropped or mishandled in any way, although it should be mildly ruggedized if United Air Line pilots are using them for enroute charts.
Will go to a WiFi isolated area where I can try my MiFi 4G wifi hotspot in an uncluttered EM environment and post my findings. If this is not a structural problem, my guess is it will work.
Steve J. would not be happy with the Apple Wifi H/W-S/W coordination. Let's get this issue resovled.

Loses battery power after 1 hour of play

My iPod mini (first generation) loses battery power after about an hour of play.
I sent the iPod mini into Apple to replace the battery. But they said nothing was wrong with it.
That can't be true, because I remember playing my iPod for longer stretches of time than just an hour.
Thanks for any help!

The iPod battery indicator is only a very loose approximation of how much charge there actually is left.
See these.
Beef up my iPod battery.
How to accurately determine your iPod battery life.
Can I make the meter more accurate?
However, you also need to consider that the battery may need replacing.
If so, Google 'iPod batteries' for cheaper options than Apple.

Why is my ipad still using battery power when switched off & locked away with no one using it?

Why is my IPad still discharging battery when switched off and locked away - with no one using it? Charged it to 100% on holiday and locked in safe. 2 days later it was at 76%!

How is it "switched off"? Are you pressing the button on the top so the screen goes black? If so, that isn't shut off, but put to sleep. I will still be doing things in the background and using battery power.
To shut it fully off, press and hold the button on top, you will get a notification on the screen that says "Slide to power off". Slide the button and it will turn completly off.
If this is how you switched it off, let us know and we will see what else we can figure out.

How can i see which apps in my ipad consume more battery power

I noticed lately the power consumption on my ipad 3 has gone considerably up. A full charge lasts me about 8 hrs and to chrge it upm(through the mains), it takes 4hrs +. I downloaded many apps lately and suspect one of them may be power hungry.Is there a good App that allows me to establish which app(s) eat up the power on my Ipad 3 & equally allow me to terminate unnecessary processes?
Any suggestions folks?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

TP T500 loses battery power

I have a brand new Lenovo TP T500 laptop. Is it normal that battery loses power when laptop is powered off? When laptop was two days powered off, battery charge went from 100% to 69%.

I also have a new T500. Be aware that the physical power button, the virtual power button in Vista, and closing the display by default do not switch power off, just put the PC to sleep. From the Vista start menu you can choose "shut down" for the menue that apears after pressing the button with a triangle. I am new to Vista and this also surprised me.

Heat up and lose battery very quickly

Here're the facts:
- yes, I have the Stamina-Modus on.
- all locating stuff is off
- only whatsApp active
sometimes, the battery lasts for 2 days and sometimes, like today it get's quiet hot and unloads within minutes (it was at 70% five minutes ago and is now empty)
What else can I do? I'm no technic crack....should I send it in for repair? Or does someone else had the same problem and knows a solution?
I love that phone and don't want to change....
Thanks for ideas!

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
That sounds strange. I suggest that you check the battery usage on your phone via Settings > Power Management > Battery usage. TThis list will show what have consumed battery since the last charge, so check the list when you have around 10% battery. You can also take a look at the following FAQ to see if you can find any tip:

My ibook loses battery power when turned off and unplugged

I have been puzzled by this since November 2006. I calibrated my battery twice as prescribed and still, as soon as i shut down my ibook and unplug it, it's battery charge goes down. Why is this? I'd greatly appreciate help. I'm a former pc user and none of my pc laptops have this problem. I just want to know why my battery loss power when unplugged and turned off. thanks in advance

Well you might want to try what they call "battery reconditioning" which is 7 simple steps listed below:
1: Charge your iPod fully.
2: Use it till you cant trun it on anymore!
3: Then carge your iPod fully again.
4: Then Use it till you cant trun it on anymore!
5: One more time charge your iPod fully.
6: And then again Use it till you cant trun it on anymore!
7: Then one last time charge it fully again.
Reminder: it is best to let the battery die all of the way each time inbetween chages. for example if it has 60% battery life dont charge it use it till it is dead and then charge it up all the way!
*This should inturn maximise your battey life also!*

XP drains battery power quicker than it can charge?

Started up XP via bootcamp on my Macbook Pro with with charger plugged in. It was green when i started and battery at 100% when after 10 minutes or so the charge indicator turned orange and battery showed 98%. Anyone else have this problem and know how to solve it?
By the way, I wasn't doing anything graphic intensive nor CPU intensive.

What is going on??
Your using more energy to play WOW and there isn't any to charge the battery.
You do have a overly unnecessary, power hungry, excessively high resolution screen with a bloated OS X version and your also playing 3D games on it, that's what you should expect to occur.

IPhone loses battery power extremely fast

I will charge my phone up to 100% and then in 2 hours the % is at 75%, and then 6 hours later the phone is sometimes already dead.
Who do I bring my phone to, to have the problem fixed. My phone is a little bit over a year old and I bought it at Target. Do I bring it Apple or to Target? And what will happen? Can the battery just be replaced, or do I need a whole new phone?

Hello rbain007,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If you are having what appears to be unusually short battery life on your iPhone 5c, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful. In particular, the following portion of the general Batteries article is very good for isolating issues with specific apps or processes consuming a disproportionate amount of charge:
iOS 8 is designed to be the most battery-efficient iOS ever. And it gives you more precise ways to manage your device’s battery life, because you can see the proportion of your battery used by each app (unless the device is charging). To view your usage, go to Settings > General > Usage > Battery Usage.
Here are the messages you may see listed below the apps you’ve been using:
Background Activity. This indicates that the battery was used by the app while it was in the background — that is, while you were using another app.
To improve battery life, you can turn off the feature that allows apps to refresh in the background. Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and set the switch to Off.
If the Mail app lists Background Activity, you can choose to fetch data manually or increase the fetch interval. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data.
Location and Background Location. This indicates that the app is using location services.
You can optimize your battery life by turning off Location Services for the app. Turn off in Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
In Location Services, you can see each app listed with its permission setting. Apps that recently used location services have an indicator next to the on/off switch.
Home & Lock Screen. This indicates that the Home screen or Lock screen was displayed on your device. For example, the display was awakened by pressing the Home button or by a notification.
If an app frequently wakes your display with notifications, you can turn off push notifications for the app in Settings > Notifications. Tap App and set Allow Notifications to Off.
No Cell Coverage and Low Signal. This indicates that either you are in a poor cell coverage area and your iOS device is searching for a better signal or that you’ve used your device in low-signal conditions, which has affected your battery life.
You can optimize your battery life by turning on Airplane mode. Swipe up to open Control Center and tap the Airplane mode icon. Note that you cannot make or receive calls while in Airplane mode.

Satellite A200-1M8 - battery loose power quickly

Hi
Please I need help... I have got Toshiba Satellite A200-1m8.
Operating system: Windows XP Pro SP3.
I noticed that the Wireless connection, running the laptop on battery power, drops and sometimes doesn't connect but plugging the power back to Normal power it easily does
I searched for similar issues and found that Intel for wireless devices does this to save battery power. I followed the instructions I found, and Wi-Fi worked well by increasing the power management in the Wi-Fi device settings ,but the main problem here is when I increase power management ,running the laptop on batteries, the computer seemingly to lose battery power quickly.
Should I change the deficient part by the manufacturer or what to do .......??
Thanks.

Hi again bro Horwath and sorry for being late.
Actually i'm still not sure/precise about testing the battery power while knowing what is running on the background. It is somehow confusing to keep on watching precisely.
Anyway here is what i came up with:
But before that the toshiba power saver settings that i use on battery is 3/4 towards the high preformance ( less long battery life ).
(every thing is the same as the default battery power profile except those: no hibernation..no system standby.. no Hdd power off and monitor off in 30 minutes)
first test:
the overall battery useage seemed to last between 1:20 or 1:30 hours.
running internet explorer with 3 to 4 websites in the same window....winmap....and [2 msn messenger (background) ]
it seemed that i lost 2% within 2 to 3 minutes ( but i still feel it is rapid ).... then leaving the computer idle seemed to have lost like 1% within 3 to 4 minutes.
second test:
The overall battery useage also seemed to last between 1:20 or 1:30 mintues.
i was running adobe photoshop for some minutes .....[ with msn messnger ( background ) ]
consumed like 60% of the battery power whithin like 40 minutes...
and the rest was left to the computer being idle just running 2 msn messnger on the background and consuming 40% within 30 to 35 minutes.
I also noticed that battery consumes 2% quickly on computer usage or apparently on _wireless internet usage_
Those are what i noticed, but still not sure 100%.
Anyway besides that my battery should last for 2 hours as i saw in some websites for this toshiba model .
In addition, why shouldn't the wireless device run normally like on any other computer on the default/normal level of power management so that i can have the normal battery power life.
Sorry for the complications in here :S.
thanks.

My iPad 2 loses charge very very quickly

I upgraded my ipad 2 to ios 6 and now it loses charge very quickly. I have made sure that everything is closed down and have also done a reset a couple of times. This hasn't worked. I have also turned off most location services and VIP alerts.
Any suggestions would be great

Now you swipe downward, the app will appear and you delete, keep scolling to the right as in the past. With the new operating system you also swipe downward to get the search bar to find an app
