  • App Problems with Quick Weather Mini, and Weather+

    I just downloaded both Quick Weather Mini, and Weather+ for my new Mac Desktop. I first downloaded Quick Weather Mini, but didn't like the fact that it only showed the current temp, and not an extended forecast. So, I figured, since it was only $1.99, I would go with the App Weather+. Well, Weather plus took almost 20 minutes to download, on a brand new computer. Then, it started with San Francisco time and weather. There was no way to change the location, and after trying to figure out how, I found a way to change the time to my area, but everything elsa stayed west coast, not east coast. I then thought I'd restart my computer, and when it restarted, Quick Weather Mini came up and asked if I wanted to continue with the last location. I clicked yes, and it then told me it couldn't find the location, and to check my internet connection. Well, my internet was connected, and no I'm stuck with 2 apps that don't work! I want to get rid of them both and be refunded, but do not know how to go about it. Can someone help me?!?!                                                               

    Hey there sajam,
    First of all this isn't supposed to be a support forum.  If you had checked my website you would have seen a support link that lets you contact me directly.  I would have seen this faster if you had done so.
    Anyway onto your problem.  When in Mission Control, no applications are able to be interacted with.  Here's how the app was meant to work: it was supposed to be like a widget that is overlaid on top of your desktop.  It wasn't meant to be a normal application (although I might add this capability in an update later).  If you want to quickly see QuickWeather just use the "show desktop" shortcut to quickly check it, because it's "sticky" and won't move with Expose.  The shortcut is ⌘-F3, I belive.  This makes it really easy to check the weather just by making your windows fly away, see the weather, and have them fly in again. 
    The menubar dropdown wasn't really meant to be a source of information.  Perhaps in a future update I can add the forcast in there, but it wasn't really meant to hold the main info. 
    If you want to talk further you can always write me by visiting my website: (www.appjon.com), and clicking "Support".  If you're not happy with the purchase you can always write me and I'll try to guide you through getting a refund. 

  • Any Problems Now that the Cold Weather is Here

    Just trying to find out if anyone is having any problems with their iPhone now that the cold weather is setting in.
    I thought there might be issues with the touch screen or other problems related to running the applications since its cold. I heard some issues with screen cracking in the cold.
    Today it was the first real cold day in Philadelphia, and for the first time ever for me after four years of using an iPod (mini, classic and nano) that I had a skipping incident. Also, for the first time since updating to 1.1.1 (now 1.1.2), Safari kept crashing when the iPod was playing music.
    Just curious if anyone has issues about cold weather use.
    Thanks.

    Wow! I would think the claws on the "bear" fingers would scratch the screen for sure!
    I would almost guarantee that the cold weather will run your battery down faster than usual. Thats what happens to batteries in the cold. The operating conditions for the iPhone are also stated as follows:
    Environmental requirements
    Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
    Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)
    Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
    Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet (3000 m)
    So I would recommend against pushing your luck in the freezing cold or you could have a nicely voided warranty and a broken iPhone.

  • Does cold weather zap the iPod's battery life?

    It seems like when I walk my dog in the cold weather my iPod runs out of battery life a lot faster. Yesterday I had the iPod in my car and went in for about an hour and a half and when I came out it was totally depleted. Is it the cold or time for a new iPod?

    It will make the battery run down faster. The battery on my old mini lasts only 3 hours max in warm weather and maybe half that in cold. It is pretty old so that's a factor too. Newer ones should do better.

  • Cold weather on batteries?

    Does cold weather make the battery run out faster or something? Because i'm just sitting here chilling then it starts getting a bit chilly here in my house because, well night time has come and we keep the heat off to save money, and my Ipod was fully charged about, mm-say 6 hours ago and it was fine until it started getting cold. It was like around 96% from watching videos for about, what, 20-40 minutes then I let it sit for a while, becoming cold, and I turn it back on and its 89%, odd because my battery doesn't go that quick, then I check it again and it says 83% and I haven't been using it. Then I heat it up with the palm of my hand and it goes back to 90% after heating it up a tiny bit. Now its back down to 83%.

    Yes. A cold battery has less capacity than a battery at normal temperature.  Also, the % battery indicatrs are not that accurate.

  • My iPhone shut off due to cold weather, will it turn on again?

    I went outside for a brief moment and when i went back inside, my phone shut off and will not turn on. I am hoping it will turn on eventually. Any suggestions?

    a brief moment in cold weather should not harm the phone.  I went outside today with my phone in my pocket to start my car and it was -4°f.  Try to turn it on when it has been in room temperature for a while.

  • Why is the notification center different on ipad mini and iPhone?

    For instance.. Weather shows in the notification center on ipad mini, and not on iPhone. Also, calculator shows on iPhone control center and not ipad mini. I can understand why the calculator doesn't display as an option for the ipad mini as the calculator isn't installed by default (for whatever reason), but why would weather show up on the ipad mini (where no native app exists), but not on the iPhone?

    Yes and Yes.
    When I navigate to Notification Center in Settings from an iPhone 4:
    Notifications view - on
    Today view - on
    Today summary - on
    Calendar day view - off
    Reminders - on
    Stocks - off
    Tomorrow summary - off
    Sort by Time
    The only apps I don't include are third party and have nothing to do with weather.
    Usually when I swipe down on the Today view it's only giving me the date.
    Thanks for taking the time to help me!

  • Is it dangerous to have my macbook shipped during cold weather?

      I live in ND, lately it's been in the teens and twentys below zero, and I'm really anxious to order my Macbook Pro online, and have it shipped to me.  I'd buy it somewhere in town, but it's configured to my specifications only online so that's not much of an option.  If I have it shipped to me when it's this cold, is there a risk of damaging it during transport?

    yes, you MUST let lt warm up IN A CASE before use if at all possible.
    Why your MacBook needs a warm coat too
    While you should never store your notebook in a cold car for any significant time (couple hours or more), in cases where a notebook is being carried thru cold weather in a case, having a padded and zippered (not just a sleeve!) case is very important not just to protect your Macbook from a shock from being bumped or accidentally dropped, but for thermal protection.
    In coming in from a cold walk or environment, an unprotected and cold notebook is subject to condensation forming not only on the alloy casing but more importantly on internal parts and the logic board which is to be avoided at all costs. Namely when turned on and the fan kicks on and blows warm air around the cold logic board condensation can form and in worst cases either eventually produce a fault or lead to compounded problems where corrosion forms inside your Macbook.
    For transporting in the cold, your notebook needs more than a sleeve, rather a padded / insulated carry case to prevent temperature fluctuation from causing condensation.

  • IPods in cold weather

    Is the Shuffle or iPod Touch any better than a classic in cold weather? I like to listen to my iPod while cross country skiing and it dies quite quickly unless I've got it right against me (and even dies then sometimes). I guess it is the battery that conks out. Tech specs give 32 degrees F as the lowest operating temp for all three devices.

    Air temperature has a significant effect on batteries of all kinds.
    Given the Shuffle's small size, I suggest that you keep it well inside your clothing so that it's not exposed to below-freezing temps.

  • Squeaky sound - cold weather?

    When I use my nano in cold weather, I often get little squeaks persistently but intermittently overlaying the music. Have others heard of this?
    I would like to send it in for a repair/swap, but I'm afraid that they'll run a normal (room temp) diagnostic, find nothing wrong, and then charge me for the time. Any ideas re: how Apple might deal with something like this?
    I wouldn't even bother about this, but it's really annoying while I'm walking to work on winter mornings.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hmmm... if you're walking to work outside the "squeaks" may be condensation building up in the headphones from whatever heat they generate. You could try and cover the headphones with the black foam circles they provided and see if that helps. Also, as a test, you could steam up your bathroom and then try it in there and see if you get similar squeaks... it would be the same effect as walking outside. Or, you could keep the Nano in a backpack or somewhere warm to see if it still happens.
    But yeah, I would have to agree; if you can't replicate the squeaks at any time when you're not outside walking to work they would probably tell you the thing works fine. But you could call and see if they have a solution -- I doubt you're the only person in Washington who walks to work with your Nano in hand.

  • Cold Weather Camera Operation

    I will be shooting some outdoor stuff and the weather will most likely drop below 40 degrees.
    Does anyone have a specific preparations they would recommend for camera protection? I know cold weather affects battery capacity, so I usually attach heat pads to them. (the kind you put in your gloves or shoes)
    But I've never done anything special for the camera itself. I did in fact RTFM, the operating temperature for the camera is listed as 32 degrees.

    Many years ago I shot a doco climbing in the Himalaya, temperatures dropped to minus 35C, we shot Super 8 film with Canon 1014XLS cameras.
    I overcame the cold battery problem by attaching the batteries inside my jacket and running a cable down my right arm sleeve and into the external power socket of the camera. To protect the cameras from the elements and keep them from getting too cold I made neoprene covers. This was fairly easy as joins are just glued together with a special glue. This also prevented the metal camera body freezing to my face (well all except one time when I was in a hurry and new it was my last load. The condensation from my breath froze the camera to my face, very painful removal!)
    You'll also need to take care with fogging viewfinders, be careful not breath onto the viewfinder lens and maybe use an anti fog solution on the viewfinder lens too.
    Next most important thing was gloves. I used three layers. Closest to skin I used a pair of silk inners, over these a lght weight synthetic fibre pair and above that an insulated Goretex glove. This enabled me to remove layers to perform more fiddly tasks when necessary. Make sure you have a protective U/V filter on the camera and plenty of lens cleaning equipment. A soft chamois and high quality lens cleaning cloth are best or you'll go through a lot of tissues in wet conditions.
    At night store the equipment in a dry environment of similar temperature to what you'll shooting in. Do not lock the equipment in it's cases as it could sweat if it's been used in damp conditions during the day.
    Most high end video gear is specified to function in temperatures as low as -40c but I don't know how well the tape cassettes perform. I do know we snapped the film a few times in the Super 8 cartridges we were using, this was due to how brittle the celluloid became a such extreme temperatures not the cartridge mechanism itself.

  • Cold weather + Nokia Lumia 800 = Inactive touch sc...

    Is this normal for your touch screen to be inactive during cold weather on your nokia lumia 800? If so what are some remedies to get the screen to get the touch screen active. Maybe using a blow dryer to warm up your phone or using a phone sock case to reduce the cold temperatures in the morning. What are your thoughts on this topic?

    There have been similar low temperature issues reported using N9, which seems ironic for phone designed in Finland. Do also wonder whether state of charge of battery is implicated in such behaviour as really need to be fully charged before taking out in the cold.
    I remember on a cold morning I left it on the charger over night and the touch screen wasn't working.

  • IPhone 3GS Camera Crashes iOS 4.3 When Device Used In Cold Weather

    I was in Chicago today where the weather was in the low 40's (high 20s with the windchill). As I was sightseeing and using my iPhone to shoot casual snapshots, the OS completely crashed when I was trying to take the picture. My iPhone has never crashed for any reason, but I shrugged it off and then restarted the device. I took two more pictures, and then the phone again crashed on the third picture. After another restart, the phone started crashing every time I took a picture without exception.
    Fearing the worst that my phone was about to die on me while on a business trip, I headed back to the car and headed for the hotel. As I was driving back, I got to thinking that my phone has never been in weather this cold before (I'm from California). As soon as I got to my room, I put the camera beneath the heating vent and allowed it to warm up. Once it felt like it was room temperature, I picked it up and started shooting pictures to see if I could get it to crash again. After forty pictures, it was still working.
    Are there any known issues with the camera sensor on the iPhone 3GS in cold weather? Another poster from Eastern Europe seems to be having the same problem with the same model phone:

  • Is it safe to bike in cold weather with laptop?

    Ok to bike an hour with laptop in 20F? It sits inside a backpack which then sits inside a pannier. If not, is there a way I can insulate or better protect my Macbook against cold?

    Short answer yes, but note the precautions. Two good discussions here.  Good points on the importance of the data and humidity when starting up.

    Not going to happen the way you want it to.
    When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
    Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.
