IPod needs to use less power

My iPod was on low battery level when I attempted to copy a few gigs of stuff of my Mac Mini to it.
After a few minutes, the iPod gave a beeping sound and said it was out of battery and disconnected.
Doesn't the USB supply enough power?
Would a firewire make any difference?

It is telling me that i need to reformate it for use on this computer so i am pritty darn shure i can´t just put the files on it like i would wen it would work like it suposed to work (and did work sinc i bought it in september)
Again. brok down so everyone hopfully gets what i am fighting with
1. I conect the iPod
2. the i pod tells me it needs to be reformated for use on this computer.
3. i reformate it.
4. it works just fine, i can put all the songs on it like i should be able to.
5. the next time i conect my iPod to the VERY SAME computer there is minutes of it only being the USB harddrive, than i get a mesage that i need to reformate it for use on this computer (wich, yes, like formating usualy dos, deletes all files)
help would be awsome becaus after 3 days of this i feel like having a creative jukebox would be better, and that should be telling you something sigh

You can use the adaptor that came with your device. They work in the UK. You will need a wall outlet plug adaptor, however. You can buy them at most AAA travel outlets, computer stores, or buy Apple's World Travel Kit.

Myth or Truth, iMac uses less power in Standby than when off

I'm sure I read this somewhere on the internet.
I'm not sure what model it was for, but I heard that the imac uses less power when in sleep than being shutdown (when still plugged into the wall)
Can anyone confirm or denigh this?
Ifs it true any web links to this?

If it's powered off, it's using no power at all.
I suspect this is about the power cost of waking from standby versus pwoering up from off, and whether it makes more sense to leave your Mac in standby when out of use or whether to swticth off completely.
It depends on your usage pattern. If you leave the Mac unused for very long periods of time, it makes sense to power off, because standby uses a little power constantly. If you leave it unused for shortter periods, you probably use less power in standby.
Unfortunately, I don't have a magic number for the time period
As a rule of thumb, I'd say if it's unused for less than a day or so, standby makes more sense. There's a discussion at the link below which also fails to give a definitive answer but has some interetsing comments.

Does using headphones use less power than using the speakers?

Just wondered if using headphones in a good way to save power when out as I seem to me running larger speakers in the mac would use more energy than little apple pod headphone's.
Perhaps someones looked in to this and know how much power in needed per minute for each.

Very doubtful. For the MBA the two big consumers of electricity will be the CPU and the display's backlight. Following that would be WiFi and BlueTooth.

Since updating my IPAD 4 to IOS 7 my wifi seems to be running slower. At the same time it seems to be using less power. I wonder if Apple have tweaked the processor speed or something. Any ideas?

Since running IOS 7 on my IPAD 4 I have noticed that safari or Google APP are running slower. When loading data there is a noticeable delay in the 'bar' running across the screen. The IPAD also seems to be lasting longer between charges. I wonder if Apple have tweaked how the processor is being used for wifi.

Same issue on my 9 month old IPad4. Turned of all the new fancy additions but no real increase in speed.
One thing I noticed when I installed IOS7 was that my free space Immediated jumped from 17Gb on IOS6 to 18.5Gb.
I then noticed the much slower performance. On IOS6 my pad performed so quickly it often brought a smile to my face, now I'm watching and waiting while it staggers along loading a page(. Fibre Broadband 45mb/sec so no hold up there and this on my usual browsing sites so it's not their servers ) .
I'm wondering whether Apple have increased the compression of the system files, so they take longer to unpack - or is am I clutching at straws. Anyone else notice extra space after update.

I TRY TO DO INTERNET BANKING WITH KOREA BASED BANK, BUT I NEED TO USE LESS THAN FIREFOX 9.0. MY COMPUTER IS FIREFOX 10.0.

hi, i try to use firefox to connect my bank information in Korea where i recently registered for internet banking. But , as soon as i get into that website, a window showing that i can not use this browser because it has to be firefox 3.5-9.0. Mine is firefox 10.0.Is there any way to downgrade this number?

Hey INJOOYON,
There are a lot of benefits to running the latest version of Firefox. You might want to consider running the older version on [http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36 a USB Stick with PortableApps]. That way you'll still be able to run the latest version for your day to day activities.
You could also try User Agent Switcher: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/
If you still want to roll back to a previous version of Firefox, just take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]].
Hopefully this helps!

After last maverick update macbook pro can't be shut down anymore - only by using the power button

Hello!
I hope that someone can help: after the last Maverick update I can't shut down the computer anymore - or restart. I need to use the power button. Furthermore several apps don't close when they are supposed to be closed - I always have to check with Force Quit. I could live with that, but not being able to shut down or restart the Mac is more than tiresome. Can anybody help?

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
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
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
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 other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Hey there our3goldens,
It sounds like you are unable to successfully boot your iPod Touch. I would recommend these steps specifically from the following article, named:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

When using Tab Groups, is less power/memory used or is it the same as when all the tabs are opened in the task bar?

When using Tab Groups, is less power/memory used or is it the same as when all the tabs are opened in the task bar?

it's just another View for your tabs which needs less *space* in the taskbar, but same *memory* of your computer.
exception: if you (re)start FF and restore the last session (with lots of tabs/groups) there is an option in FF-Settings to load the (content of the) tabs only as soon as they are clicked, and not as soon as FF starts. That trick saves memory.

HT1476 Can i use wall power charger 5v 1A to charge Ipod touch5 or only via usb?

Can i use wall power charger 5v 1A to charge Ipod touch5 or only via usb?

5volt 1amp charger is standard for charging the iPod (5watts). Using a USB port can take longer because the charging current can be somewhat less than 1amp. So you are better off using the wall charger.

HT201263 When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds. While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained. Whats wrong

When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds. While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained. Whats wrong?

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes. Try placing in Recovery mode if necessary to restore.
- If you can't turn the iPod completely off, let the batter fully drain. After charging for at lerast anhour try again
- If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I have created some music tracks as aiff files which I want to load onto my iPod Shuffle 4th Generation, but it won't play them - it just bleeps at me. I have changed them to AAC which works - what settings do I need to use to make aiffs work?

I have changed them to AAC which works but would rather use aiffs. Can anyone tell me what settings do I need to use to make aiffs work? The info on the iPod says that it accepts aiff files!!

Help! I'm in UK and need to recharge but when I plug in (using a power converter) the square white batter pack is buzzing - what does it mean????

Help! I'm in UK and need to recharge but when I plug in (using a power converter) the square white unit is buzzing - what does it mean? I am using a power adaptor that works for other items - shaver, phone etc. and they don't buzz - it's coming from the square white unit before it's connected to the computer so I don't want to then connect my mac incase it means there's something wrong. Getting desperate as I need to recharge!! Thanks for any help!

Hi
If you're using a converter that changes the voltage from the UK ~230V to say 120V, rather than just a converter to different outlet/plug/socket sizes - then that's likely the problem.
All the Apple power units I've seen are rated from 100V to 240V & do not require any sort of voltage converter, just something to let you plug it into a UK outlet (or an Apple cable/connector set). Many cheap voltage converters can cause buzzing as you've described.
Many supermarkets & hardware/general stores will sell the right 'adaptor' for a couple of £UK - I'd find one rather than continue with the buzzing.

Do I have to use the Apple Power Adapter specifically to charge my iPod nano without using my laptop?

CAN I CHARGE MY IPOD NANO WITHOUT USING THE APPLE POWER ADAPTER? Can I use any of my many usb wall charging adapters instead?

I am using my jambox wall adapter.
