IPad Dictation stops after one minute

When I dictate a message on my iPad the connection is cut after a short period ranging from 30 seconds to 1 minute. Is that due to heavy traffic at Apple's end or do I have a wifi or Internet problem on my end?

I think I have at least a partial solution. Restart your iPad. i was only getting 3 to 5 seconds before the microphone turned all purple and stopped recording. After a full restart I got about 25 or 30 seconds before it automatically translated. For example right now I've written all of this second third and fourth and fifth sentences with one recording.
But, BUT-after just two or three hours of using my iPad heavily, the recording time went back down to two or three or four seconds. I then had to do another restart.
When I restarted this time I went in manually and shut down each application that was showing in the bottom bar area. I then re-restarted the iPad.
30 seconds is really more than enough recording time. But 2, 3, 4 or 5 seconds is really very insufficient. Why is this recording time changing? For the first five weeks I used it, it didn't change. Now it seems to be going down quickly.
Is it possible that having 40 or 50 programs loaded is causing this? Is it possible that having nearly 300 programs on the iPad is causing this?
And that brings up a good point: on the bottom bar when you clich the home button twice and then hold an app to cause  the small x's to appear in the upper left corner, you can only shut down one program at a time. So you start from the upper left in the bar which is exhibiting seven programs at one time, the you click and you click and you click and eventually all seven are closed and seven more appear and you close them 1 at a time. ANYWAY TO CLOSE ALL APPS AT ONCE? I can easily have more than 50 programs "open" or is that "active". Will shutting all these programs down give me more recording time? Right now this is recording very well. This entire paragraph was done on just two recording sessions.
Any and all feedback really appreciated. In the past four weeks I've hardly ever use my external Bluetooth keyboard-because I dictate everything.
Best regards,
Steve

  • I have Snow leopard, 10.6.8 on my iMac, I just tried to install Lion from the App store, but during proces, the install stops after one minute saying: "software might be damaged". I downloaded the software again, same thing. What must I do to install Lion

    I have Snow leopard, 10.6.8 on my iMac, I just tried to install Lion from the App store, but during proces, the install stops after one minute saying: "software might be damaged". I downloaded the software again, same thing. What must I do to install Lion? I have still 487GB free.

    Quit all other programs and open Disk Utility
    Select your "MacintoshHD" drive on the left and indented and click Erase > Erase Free Space > Zero and let it complete.
    Also run First Aid > Repair Disk and permisisons.
    If Repair disk gives a error, you have a bigger problem, if repair permisisons fixes and completes, even if it fixes the same thing twice if you click it again, it's ok. Apple just changed things.
    You should be able to download the file sucessfully this time, if not, take it to another location with better/faster internet.
    If not then run through this list

  • Whenever I play a movie on itunes, it stops after one minute.  How can I fix?

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled without any luck.  All the content on my computer will stream through Apple TV so I think somehow the problem is in iTunes.

    Here's a support article covering that and related info: iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
    Enjoy your movie!

  • Songs stop after a minute of play

    I just downloaded an album on iTunes and some of the songs stop after a minute and move on to the next song. I'm having a real tough time finding an answer to this one. Does anyone know of a fix for this? Maybe a re-download?
    Cheers!

    Solved it! Thanks.

  • When I play any video with any player, it stops after few minutes

    When I want to play any video it stops after few minutes as freeze. Sometimes it continues without sound and others stops completly. I try to play it with more than one players, but same.
    The video it's .mkv
    I tried with:
    - Quicktime X with Perian
      - MplayerX
      - Mplayer OS X Extended

    You should probably take it to the closest apple retail store and have someone at the genuis bar help you. If you dont want to do that you should probably purchase a software or use a free trail version of one to run a virus check.Ive found that Mcfee is a good virus scan program.

    Have you tried copying it to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and seeing if it plays ok on your computer ? If it does then try deleting it from your iPad and then sync it back and see if it then plays. If not then you could use the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933

  • Very slow first Mobile Service call after one minute incativity

    My mobile service api (basic tire) response about 30 sec delay for the first call. The subsequent calls are fine but the first call even sometimes times out. Which is totally unacceptable. The worse is that after one minutes inactivity it stars again.
    It uses SQL Server (Standard tire) which is the culprit I guess. Because if I do a manual db query before
    the time lag of the api call disappear. I set up automated api calls  requesting db quires in about every minutes but did not helped. Looks like they are screened. 
    What should I do until I have enough customers to get an api call every minutes?
    It's a quite important issue because due to the bad user experience the app will never have enough customers.

    I have done a lot of testing to gain more accurate data about the case. It's quite time consuming because I have to wait some minutes after each testing. I focused this time only one of my stored procedure and measured it from the app, from browser and from
    VS SQL Server and turned out I was wrong there is a similar significant time lag from all method and if I wait enough about half an hour in all method the stored procedure call will time out. Thus, the underlying issue is probably in SQL Server.
    The VS SQL Server provides the following error massage:
    Msg 4083, Level 16, State 1, Procedure likingProbability, Line 51
    The connection was recovered and rowcount in the first query is not available. Please execute another query to get a valid rowcount.
    The actual rowcount in the code:
    SELECT @howGood = howGood FROM goodforme.Scans WHERE itemId = @itemId AND userId = @userId
    IF (@@ROWCOUNT > 0 AND (@howGood = @MAX_RATE OR @howGood = @MIN_RATE))
    BEGIN
    SET @howGoodPrediction = @howGood
    RETURN
    END
    For me it looks like the rowcount should be valid. 
    In the second call the response is valid but with huge delay like 20 sec, but in the subsequent calls it's linearly reduced to about 1 sec. And if the next call happens about 30 sec later the response will have increase again to about 10 sec time lag and so
    on. Thank you for helping to solve the issue.

  • BT Sport HD: sound stops after a minute or so

    Hi
    Firstly I was impressed with the launch show last night - well done BT!
    I have a YouView box and Infinity BB. I tried to watch BT Sport 1 on HD (channel 510), but after a minute the sound stopped. I could change channels and then come back to 510 and the sound would be there, but again would stop after a minute or so. This happened on all the Sport HD channels.
    Note that the SD Sport channels (507 - 509) were absolutely fine.
    I tried re-booting the box, but it didn't solve the issue.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks
    Simon

    This is a me too message. I suspect it is a Dolby digital problem. The picture has been rock solid so far. I'm using Youview.
    I have a followup and a workaround to this problem
    I contacted BT and they are convinced that the problem is due to the powerline adaptor, which was supplied by BT along with the Youview box. They tell me that their technical help files state there is not enough bandwith available. They are going to send me, free of charge, a 10 metre ethernet cable for a direct connection to the router. I was very sceptical when I was told this over the phone and my subsequent action below confirms my scepticism.
    After the call, I tried the following setting change on the Youview box. I went to settings>tv signal & quality>HDMI Audio format and changed this from surround to stereo. This effectively turns off the dolby digital output. The problem disappears! Of course, this turns off dolby output for all HD channels on the box which is not desirable.
    This makes me convinced it is a dolby audio problem but getting BT to recognise this might be more difficult. I hope they can fix the problem soon.

  • Windows 8.1 automatically logs me out after one minute

    I downloaded and installed Windows 8.1 Pro a few days ago from TechNet. I'm logged in only with my Microsoft account (not a Domain account).
    For some reason, it logs me out automatically after one minute and takes me back to the login screen where I have to click and enter my password in. I checked all of the Power settings and the Screen Saver is off.
    Also, I've wanted to disable the login screen entirely since I live alone.  I've seen many articles about being able to disable it by unchecking the box in the netplwiz app, but the option doesn't even exist.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    May be you can try to boot into safe mode for test, or create a new account.
    In addition, netplwiz is a command to open Manage User Accounts. I doubt whether you had use it correctly.
    Press WIN+R, then type netplwiz , press
    Enter.

    I booted into Safe Mode (after figuring out the new method) and it logged me out after one minute.  I logged back in, created a new user, rebooted in normal mode, logged in as new user, was logged out after one minute.  Double-checked Advanced
    Power settings again -- nothing indicating this should be happening.

  • Rented movie but it kept freezing after one minute of play -help please

    Rented a movie on Apple TV but it kept freezing after one minute of play - help please

    Try waiting a few minutes, or longer, to see if the beachball goes away. Start up iTunes, then go do something else for awhile. Perhaps iTunes is going some overdue bookkeeping and once you let it do it it will work again.

  • HP 15-f009wm shuts down after one minute

    HP 15-f009wm, shuts down after one minute at idle. If you are doing something on it, like moving the mouse, it will stay on. I tried to go in, and change the power plans, and the options pertaining to this, but no help at all. I even tried to take the password off, so my wife wouldn't have a hard time trying to put it in, everytime it shuts down.  I seen the option, marked it, and it still needs the password to open it.

  • My nano shuts down after one minute of use, why?  Brandnew

    My nano shuts down after one minute of use and it doesn't matter if I'm using the radio or playlist.  This is brand new so I've only ever listened to 1 minute of a song. Help

    Kevin,
    This usually happens when your headphones/earbuds aren't plugged all the way in. Double check the connection of the headphones and make sure the jack is free of debris.

  • My computer keeps going to user account after one minute of idlig. How can I change that?

    my computer keeps going back to user account after one minute of idling.  The only thing I know I did was to change the time on window themes.  Now how do I get the user account page from taking me from my page I am currently reading?  Does this after every 60 sec. of no activity.

    Hello again loveroflight,
    I am still not understanding apparently what your issue is. So I think it would be best if you contact HP Technical Support for repair options. They will be able to log onto your system and actually see what it is you are having and issue with and provide you with a resolution.
    I would like to thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
