Keeping your iPhone Running Smooth?

Cycle your battery?
Leave memory space?
Clear your Cache, cookies, and history?
Reset (home + Sleep buttons)?
Do these practices work to help keeping your iPhone running smooth?
What are your experiences and what do you do to help keep it healthy?

Yes, it means to let the battery discharge all the way until the phone shuts itself off, then charge the battery completely. Apple recommends doing this once a month.
From http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html :
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.

    Run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions before and after any software installation. Keep an eye on your free drive space. Control click your MacHD icon on your Desktop. Click: Get Info Under the General category you will see: Capacity and Available. Make certain your free drive space never falls below 15%... (some day 10%).
    Hope this helps... and Happy Holidays!

  • How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app?  When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

    How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app?  When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

    The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
    If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

  • How To Keep Your iPhone Safe At The Gym

    I have a problem with the Otterbox Defender (or more like a worry).
    Here is my  worry.  I like to use my iPhone at the gym.  I also have an iPod touch.   I have used the iPod touch at the gym, with no problems (it has a very  thin rubber protector).
    I prefer the iPhone because my gym lacks  wi-fi, so I can't get pandora.  Here is the problem.  The Otterbox is  not too bulky, but more bulky than the iPod touch.
    So when I do a couple of exercises, with the iPhone in my pocket, I get nervous.
    For  instance, say I do a dumbell exercise (curls), well the DB comes close  to contact with the front/side of my leg where the iPhone is in the  pocket.
    If I do a dumbell bench, same problem, you begin with the DB in your lap, right next to the phone.
    The biggest is when I do deadlift, because again the bar almost grazes the front/side of my shorts where the iPhone resides.
    Now  so far, no problems, but this makes me very concerned.  I am worried  that I am either going to knick, hit, or drop a DB on my lap with the  iPhone in my pocket getting touched, or the deadlift barbell will hit  it.
    So I have a few questions......
    1)  Am I being a worry busybody or is this really playing with fire?
    2)   What do you all do when you workout in the gym (lifting weights, cardio  is no problem, very safe).  Do you keep your iPhone in your pocket or  do you have/recommend an armband?
    Most people I see in the gym have  it in their pocket, a few use bands...so that makes me thing perhaps am I  just worrying, but I dunno.
    3) Do you recommend an armband, or  is the ottorbox going to protect it just fine if I hastly hit the phone  in my pocket with a barbell or dumbell?
    4) Or if I had the Griffen defender, would I be all set even if I drop a 60 DB on myself!
    ***Note to mods, I decided to make a separate thread for this topic, instead of putting it in the "protection" or "gym call disable" one because this is a larger question, and a very important one.
    I felt if I put in one of the prior ones, already a few pages into it, this would be missed, and for people using the phone at the gym who want protection, indeed this is a larger, different topic.

    Duct tape it to your head.
    If you are paranoid that you will smash it with a dumbbell, then get an armband.

  • How do I keep my iMac running smoothly?

    I now know that Mac Keeper is bad news. What can I do, or is there a program that will keep my 27 inch iMac running clean and smooth?

    If you search MacKeeper on these forums and elsewhere you'll discover many tales of woe and how it has mucked up otherwise perfectly healthy Macs. All MacKeeper seems to do well is con people into thinking they need it. Some useful information here in Klaus1's User Tip:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3030
    It's really only necessary to resort to third party applications to try and resolve a specific issue, so if everything is running tickety-boo just forget about it - your Mac will take care of itself.
    Avoid all apps that claim to 'clean/speed up/protect, etc.' your Mac. Hopefully others will spot this thread and add their comments so that you can get a variety of views.

  • How do you keep your iPhones and iPads separate under the same apple id

    I have a family of iPhones and iPads and one apple ID, well needless to say each device is getting face time calls and text messages from eachother. I might add it makes for some pretty interesting conversations. I would like to learn how to keep each device seperate under the same apple ID, or would it be better to set up seperate ID's for everything? Anyways, any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Each device should have a unique name and iTunes can tell them apart.

  • Can I keep my iMac running at all the times?

    I have iMac, early 2009 version and in good condition. I would like to know, whether I can keep the machine ON at all the times ( 7 * 24hrs) or should I switch it off every night? So far, I am switching it off every night and switch it on the next morning. Please clarify me.

    In talking with a tech guy at Applecare, I was told to shut the iMac down--all the way down--every so often. I'd been using "sleep" for months and months, but this chap said the processor is running at about 10% capacity in sleep mode. It was then accumulating signals, loading up the RAM, and slowing down the computer. If you shut down the computer from time to time--stopping the processor completely--the accumulated "noise" is erased, and the computer will run faster as a result.
    I've used a lot of vague language here. I'm not sure exactly what happens when you use sleep mode for extended periods, but in following the tech's advice, my mac is running fast and smoothly.
    So I'd say, DON'T keep your machine running forever.
    FWIW.

    Sometimes when switched from page to page on the home screen is delayed. Also, typing is delayed at certain times.

    Your iPhone must has a lot of junk file. I tried a tool for this problem--Macgo iPhone Cleaner. It is helpful as their description--an excellent iOS cleaner tool to free up storage space for more fun securely. Whenever you found your iPhone running slow or running out of space, you can ask help from it. If you want to have a try.Search "Macgo iPhone Cleaner" at softonic site's check box.It has versions for MAC OS and Win OS.

  • Running smoothly?

    just got my new macbook pro
    are there any tips to keep my computer running smoothly? on windows i had to defragment the hard drive? should i be concerned about storing large amounts of data on my drive space?
    thanks

    are there any tips to keep my computer running smoothly?
    Well, I consider myself to be a fairly knowledgeable user (perhaps knowing a little more than the average person) and I'll tell you exactly what I do to keep my MBP running smoothly...
    Nothing at all!
    Honestly, I used to Repair Permissions and all that jazz fairly routinely on my older iMac (in say, 2003) but I don't think that stuff is at all necessary anymore. The truth is that I've had this MBP for 7 months now and I have not repaired permissions a single time or run any other maintenance software, for that matter. And, it still runs exactly the same as it did on the first day I got it.
    The trick, I think, is to just use the machine. OS X is smart enough to do what it needs to do to keep things operating smoothly by itself. It automatically defragments files on the fly (as you use them) and does its own maintenance during the night (or when you turn it on if you don't leave it running).
    I would say you should just use the machine. Charge it when it needs to be charged, close it when you aren't using it, and open it when you want to use it. No need to shut it down at all unless you need to conserve battery power over a longer period of time. Just open, use, and close. You can start forgetting all those worrisome things from Windows now!
    And, no, you shouldn't worry about storing data on the drive... it was made to store large amounts of data! Go for it, but as Luke says, leave 20% or so free. OS X needs that space to keep things running smoothly.
    Keep asking questions if you have any!

  • Novice here- how to keep my new macbook pro running smoothly

    Hi, I am new to this forum and have recently purchased for first macbook pro 2011. As i am novice can anyone please advise any tips for keeping it running smoothly? For example I was advised to empty the caches folder in my library every so often, is this right?
    Thankyou

    There are a few things to do --
    1) Disk Utility. Click on your disk and repair permissions. This is only if you notice some slight slowdown.
    2) Clean out your hard drive. This is quite obvious, except few people stay on it. The smaller your HD, the more you should delete unnecessary items (like downloaded .dmg files that you used to install programs).
    3) Treat it nicely. A hard drive won't spin if it's broken, and the better care you take of your computer, the easier it will be to notice when something's wrong. You can't hear the house creaking (nor would it matter) if the rest of the house is on fire.
