Is it ok to leave your iPad on sleep overnight or should you turn it off .

Is it ok to leave your iPad on sleep overnight or should it be fully shut down?
Thanks for any advice

Either. Like some have said, if you have an app that is running - like if you have a regular 'push' for your e-mail you'll possibly get a little drain overnight. Or if you have an app that's running that has a sound (say your mail chirps everytime you get a new one) then it can be an issue.
However I've done it both ways. Most of the time, I just let it sleep. Sometimes I'll turn it off. So a personal preference thing. I think the only time you'll have a major issue is if you set your ipad so it won't go to sleep and your batttery drains totally.
now I am of the mindset that every comptuer needs to be turned off and rebooted every so often. just to clear out the 'cobwebs' so to speak. But it's not mandatory. I've gone days and days just letting my ipad sleep, same with my Touch.

    How do you disable the ringback tone feature that says, Please enjoy the music while your party is reached?

        sgoodman606 lets take a look and see what options are available! What device make/model do you have? Are you using the default or a purchased ringback tone?

    It's perfectly OK to use it while charging. It will get warmer than when it is not.

  • How long should you leave your iPad 2 on for it's first charge

    how long you your iPad be on for it's first charge

    You don't have to charge it up to 100% on the first or every charge, nor run it down to empty everytime before you re-charge it. This page just recommends going through at least one charge cycle per month :
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

  • When you download a movie with your ipad, to play it back to you need access to the internet to play it

    when downloading a movie to your ipad, is there a way to download it, so when you play it back you do not have to have access to the internet?

    If it has been fully downloaded (or synced from your computer's iTunes) then you should be able to watch it in the iPad's Videos app without needing to be online.
    If it's a rental then I've seen some posts saying that you need to be online when starting to play it (which you could whilst you still have internet access, though rentals only last for 24 hours in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, after starting to play them).

  • Did anyone get the IOS5 yet? if you havent updated your ipad to 4.3.3 can you be able to get ios 5?

    help!

    You need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes. If the iOS 5 update isn't then automatically detected and you aren't prompted to download it, then select your iPad 'device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and on the right-hand side on the Summary tab click the Check For Updates button

  • My ipad takes a photo every time I turn it off - how can I fix this?

    I have an IPAD II 16 gig.  Every time I click the close button on top - a photo is taken.  How can I stop this?

    Make sure the Home button is not depressed at the same time you turn the iPad off.
    Otherwise, try a reset >   Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • So my iCloud account is on my phone and my old iPad. My ex has the iPad and even tho she says she turned it off, I know she didn't. I want my account to be my account only so what do you suggest I do?

    MMy ex has my old iPad and I don't want her knowing my business. My iCloud was on there and I know she didn't turn it off. Do I change my ID or just start a new one?

    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and change your password (before she does). That will lock her out. Make it a strong password she can't guess.
    When you change the password please follow this procedure:
    1. Before doing anything, turn off 'Find my iPhone/iPad/Mac' on any devices it's enabled on.
    2. Sign out of iCloud on all your devices. On a Mac, System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'. On an iOS device, Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server). Your iCloud-synced data will disappear from your device. If offered the opportunity to save it on your Mac, don't.
    3. Go to http://appleid.apple.com, sign in and click 'Password & Security' in the sidebar. Answer the security questions, if set, and then click 'Edit' next to the password field. Save.
    4. Sign back in on all your devices. Your data will re-appear (give it time). You can now re-enable 'Find My...'.
    5. I reiterate, before your start, turn off 'Find My...' or you will probably need the services of Support.

  • How do you turn on/off your Mac mini?

    Hi, newbie here, please be patient . Is it possible to turn on a Mac mini (late 2012) with a remote? With ip control? Do you ever turn your mini off?
    I tried putting some settings in energy savings, to turn off the mini, but if the mini is a sleep when it's supposed to turn off, according to the schedule, it doesn't work.....I don't have a keyboard for it, only a mouse and the iOS app Rowmote..... Do I really need an apple remote to turn it on/off?

    An Apple Remote can do a lot of things with the right software. Take a look at this:
    http://www.iospirit.com/products/remotebuddy/
    There are various ways to control a Mac, shut down and restart (cold start is harder but possible with extra hardware), via IP. Here's a good place to start:
    http://teamviewer.com
    I never turn my Mac off unless I'm going to be away from it for more than a full day. When I walk away for more than a few minutes, I put it to sleep. Watch this for information about shutting down/sleeping:
    http://macmost.com/shut-down-or-sleep.html
    Buy a cheap keyboard for your Mini. I can't imagine you can get full use out of it without a keyboard. There are decent Bluetooth keyboards available for under $20. But if you have a mouse, you can turn it on or off or to sleep with the mouse using the appropriate menu option under the Apple Menu in the upper-left corner of your screen.

  • HT204406 Music play in my iPad - I don't know how to turn it off

    Why is my iPad playing music when I dont want it?

    The sleep/wake button is also the on/off button, which is also required to do an iPhone reset in the event using the sleep/wake or on/off button does not work to power the iPhone off and on.
