Is it bad to leave your iPhone connected to the charger constantly?
I was looking at buying the Mophie juice pack plus and was seeing if it was bad to leave the mophie running while my iphone is fully charged.
Battery life for your iPhone
For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

Actually I want to restore my iphone from my mac but I can't because it says "go to icloud settings on your iphone and turn off find my iphone before restore your iphone". Then, I go to icloud.com and erase find my iphone. But I still can't restore my iphone because it says pending to erase your iphone until your iphone connected to the internet. My iphone already connected to the internet and it still says pending. Please help me to fix this problem because I need to restore my iphone.
Hello rxander21,
Force your iPhone into recovery-mode and then you can use iTunes to restore it.

Can you leave your iPhone 4 S on charge continually?
We just got the iPhone S. We were told it would be better service than the mi/fi for our area (and it does). We were told to use it as a hot spot. The only thing this drains the battery so quickly. We now on a plan and can not go back. I really don't want to anyway. I love my apples. However, I do not want to wreck my battery by leaving plugged in all the time. We have a huge family and there is always some want to be on the net. Can any one tell me the best advice for not wrecking my iPhone ' s battery? Thanks for reading this and any possible help.

You seem to not really know what you have learned. Contradictory statements.
Heat is definately detrimental to lipo batteries. And these phones can get surprizingly hot.
Yet you suggest always plug them in for long charge instead of small charges where they will not have high, sustained detrimental heat.

While updating my iphone 4s to ios6, I had to restore it. Now every time I connect to itunes, I get the "Set Up Your iPhone" window with the set up as new iphone and restore from backup options. After the restore, I got everything except my apps and music back. Do I need to set the phone up as new again?

I just recently returned an IPad air and exchanged it for another. I first set up this new one as a new IPad but then deleted all content and settings right away (since I wasn't getting the progress I had made in apps and games) in order to restore it from my previous IPad Air. I then checked after on how to backup via icloud and saw this line under the subtitle of how to restore from a backup, "For best battery performance, leave your device connected to a power source until the restore is complete." What does Apple mean by "for best battery performance"? Im just a bit worried of issues.
p.s. And yes I did have it connected to the power. And the ios is the default ios for new IPad Airs.Welcome to the Apple Community.
It only means you should restore whilst it is connected to a power supply, so that your battery doesn't go flat during the process. -

iPhone WiFi issue. I enter a password, click join, and get a message back that it is an incorrect password. I have several computers and other iPhones connected using the same password. Any ideas?
Hey there Gordo456,
It sounds like you are not able to join your Wi-Fi network with the correct password on 1 out of many devices. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Restart your iOS device.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
If that troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, I would next try these steps from further down the article:
Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Hotmail iphone connection to the server failed
Still no definitive answer for all circomstances on this issue : "hotmail iphone connection to the server failed"
Situation:
iPhone 5 iOS 6 updated
Mail setup for Hotmail using MS Exchange preset to see Hotmail folders
Setting worked ok for a week
Set to gather all mail, not just last 3 days, weeks, months.
Yesterday the problem started, Mail won't connect.
It's not a firewall problem, I tried on 3G and LTE connection with WFI off.
I also tried a Yahoo preset and it work. Also Safari works fine.
I deleted the account, shutdown iPhone, restarted, created new account
Trial 1:
Click Settings
Click Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Click Add account
Click HOTMAIL preset
Click Add Mail Account
Here you enter your hotmail address + password and click NEXT
Switch off the phone and switch it back on
Try to access your mail as usual from the MAIL icon on your desktop, got the message "connection to the server failed"
Trial 2:
Click Settings
Click Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Click Add account
Click MS EXCHANGE preset
Click Add Mail Account
Here you enter your hotmail address + password and click NEXT
Switch off the phone and switch it back on
Try to access your mail as usual from the MAIL icon on your desktop, got the message "connection to the server failed"
Trial 3:
Click Settings
Click Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Click Add account
Click OTHER
Click Add Mail Account
Here you enter your hotmail address + password and click NEXT
Switch off the phone and switch it back on
Try to access your mail as usual from the MAIL icon on your desktop
Used m.hotmail.com on server field. It offered the extensive setup like on Mail for mac with SMTP, SSL, etc.. which only knew to use m.hotmail.com on server, but instead the menu offer the typical incoming and outgoing server name. Still failed.
The setting were set to these setting by default and it worked: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/hotmail/send-receive-email-from-mail-client
But I don't want to set it to a POP account, I want a IMAP type setting.
So bottom line, the preset MS Exchange and Hotmail on iOS 6 won't work anymore. Why not when they worked for a while until yesterday ?
Nothing changes on iPhone setting.
Thanks for your input.Has anyone called Apple support on this issue or is this strictly a Hotmail issue?
Also, just to make sure I'm understanding that my problem is "normal" for what others are encountering:
I set up my hotmail account and it wont work, I try to do it thru "Other Email" and it doesnt push the emails to my phone, I can get the emails (at times) but I have to fetch them. Otherwise I cannot send or recieve any emails by setting it up thru the Hotmail or Microsoft Exchange accounts.
Is this what everyone seems to be encountering?
New to the "forums" but this problem is really becoming a nuisance!!! -
Can you not sync wirelessly with a desktop PC on a wired network, while your iPhone is on the network wirelessly??
I also thought that this was the case, but that is incorrect. Please see my previous post below:
I was having the same problem with an iPhone 4 and Windows XP. I finally fixed the issue! I read several posts over the past month telling me to make sure that both the PC and iPhone were on the same network. I thought that both were on the same network; however, I was using my "Guest network" to connect my iPhone to my Airport Base Station. In order for both devices to be on the same network, the first 3 numbers of both IP addresses must match. For example, if the PC's IP address is 199.167.1.X, the iPhone's IP address must be 199.167.1.Y. I signed onto my password-protected network from the phone just to see what IP address it would use. As soon as I logged on, my iPhone started to sync wirelessly. I don't know if this will work for anyone else, but I would suggest comparing the IP addresses of your PC and iPhone before doing anything else. For those posting that the PC and iPhone must be on the same Wireless network, my PC is hard-wired to the Airport Extreme and it still works!
My Setup:
iPhone 4 (running IOS 5.0.1)
Dell PC (running Windows XP SP3) (no wireless network card)
Airport Exteme Base Station (5th Generation & updated firmware) -

I have a 2011 tahoe. My bluetooth functioned properly until I updated my iPhone. Now the iPhone connects to the Tahoe but when I try to call a number it does not work. Either it cals the number and has no outgoing or incoming sound or it just says it iis unable to complete the call.
I would check with the Auto dealer where the vehicle was purchased to check and see when the bluetooth software was last updated on your vehicle. With the vehicle being a 2011 and if the software has not been updated since the dropping of IOS 7 then obviously there will be software incompatibilities.
Good luck. -
