My battery goes down, even without using the iPad and locking it

I've got an iPad 2 with the smart cover, but it's battery goes down quite quickly, even without using it and having locked it.

When the screen is dark, it's still on, unless you've completely powered down.  So, things that can cause battery drain (just to name a few) could include:
1.  Searching for a WiFi or 3G signal if not locked on to one.......
2.  Having push on for mail, causes the iPad to seek new mail messages, eating up battery power
3.  Having location services on can eat up battery power
If you want to preserve the battery, shut it down when it's not going to be used for a few hours.  And if you've got a WiFi version and you're not in one place, turn WiFi off, so your iPad isn't constantly searching for a WiFi signal.

    Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • I cannot drag my cursor, which means I cannot highlight things, I cannot scroll down/up without using the little arrows on the page

    Does anyone have any suggestions for this problem?

    After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.

    You may find the floating columns do what you want here

    or possibly the

  • Hone turned off . i tried several times to turn it on but i doesnt work even by using the power and the home button. what should i do ?

    ive got the iphone 5s 4 weeks ago.today the screen turned blue and the phone turned off . i tried several times to turn it on but i doesnt work even by using the power and the home button. what should i do ?

    Hi vanessato,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I recommend these troubleshooting steps if your iPhone does not turn on.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Best,

  • Elements 11 vs 13: how can I add a new place tag to my PSE13 database without using the wretched and totally inadequate map technology  that Elements 13 wants to impose.

    HI,
    I have recently installed Elements 13 having used Elements 11.0 successfully to build a database of 30,000 plus images indexed by place, people, and photo date. Elements 11 allowed me to add new places which are meaningful to me but which are a complete mystery to the mapping technology of Elements 13. For example some years ago I lived in London in a road called Argyle Road. In elements 11 I could enter the place tag as Argyle Road. In Elements 13 I am required to locate Argyle Road on the map, but the map presupposes that the Argyle Road I am referring to is in Ealing in West London. It is not!
      I now live in a place called Broadsands but the Elements 13 Map places this 0.5 miles away from what I would describe as Broadsands.
      So the question: how can I add a new place tag to my database without using the wretched and totally inadequate map technology  that Elements 13 wants to impose.

    Thank you for your quick response, BalusC. I really appreciate your answer.
    Yes, you are right. If I manually code the same amount of those components in the JSF pages instead of generating them dynamically, the server will still run out of memory. That is to say, JSF pages might not accommodate a great deal of concurrent visiting. If I upgrade the server to just allow 1,000 teachers making their own test papers at the same time, but when over 2,000 students take the same questionnaire simultaneously, the server will need another upgrading. So I have to do what you have told me, using JS+DOM instead of upgrading the server endlessly.
    Best Regards, Ailsa

  • How can i turn off Find My iPad without using the iPad?

    My swipe screen has stopped working completely on my iPad. Very disappointing as it is only 18 months old and has been well looked after! I have tried holding down the off/on button and menu button to reboot but this doesn't work. I have now logged the fault with Apple and have an appointment to see someone in the support team this Monday. However, I wanted to try one more thing. I want to restore to factory settings as I've read that this could resolve the problem. When I plug it in to iTunes and try to restore iPad i get a warning message telling me I need to go to iCloud settings on my iPad and turn off Find My iPad before restoring. As I cannot use the iPad I cant do it from there. Is there another way? Please help me, I want to weep!

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE (this will disable Find My iPhone)
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
    3. Repeat the process if necessary.

  • Publish a folio to iPad - without using the DPS and iTunes?

    I have an In-House publication that is not for public consumption, so the features offered in each of the Adobe DPS subscriptions are a liability in my case rather than an asset.  Does anyone know if it's possible to publish an InDesign (5.5) folio using  DPS to select recipients outside of the iTunes app store?
    Also, if this isn't possible, does anyone have a definitive list of what interactive features (and their limitations) are available when publishing to Interactive PDF?  I've seen the .swf page flip tutorial on Adobe tv, but can't find other resources that discuss functionality/limitations of interactive content in the PDF.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    You can do so using the Adobe Content Viewer if you have a limited audience. Please post followups in the DPS forum.

  • Is it possible to use Nike plus on the new iPod nano without using the shoes and accessories?

    There is a fitness app included and the apple website you can use it without accessories. Which accessories are they talking about?
    Please help

    The apple website also says that you dont need anything. Is this true? Sorry anout the questions, this is the first problem I've had with apple products.
    "The built-in accelerometer in iPod nano gives you real-time feedback on your workout, and you can upload data to the Nike+ website. There’s no need to connect a receiver or use a shoe sensor to track your steps, distance, pace, and time. Just clip on iPod nano and go. In the gym, connect iPod nano to a Nike + iPod compatible cardio machine to keep track of every workout. Back at your computer, upload all your data to the Nike+ website to create personal goals, check your progress, and challenge your friends to top your results."

  • Does anyone have problems with the lightening to USB cable when charging from an outlet? After 6  months of use, it seems to wear out as a result of twisting caused by using the iPad while charging?

    Does anyone else have problems with the lightening to USB cables, particularly the longer version, when using the iPad and charging at the same time?
    If so, am I doing anything wrong?

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee

  • A3, the iPad and exporting to computer (deleting photos on the iPad)?????

    Ok so here is the setup of what I am attempting to do.
    All photos that have been recently uploaded to my Ipad are RAW.
    I know that you can upload (import) photos from your card or camera directly into the iPad using the Camera Connection Kit.
    Then you can directly export all of these photos into a project in Aperture 3.
    But my concern is the fact that once I have exported all those shots into a project on my computer all the photos are still there on my iPad.
    how do I get rid of them? Do I actually have to go and individually select each and every one or can I do a mass select and delete them?
    The concept of being able to use the iPad and A3 to now eliminate the need for a laptop at an event is really appealing mainly because of cost effectiveness.
    I hope someone else out there has done this and figured it out because they are just sitting there on the iPad taking up space.
    Ross

    I have the same problem. You can delete photo's from the ipad if you go into the 'all imported' folder, then press the top right button, then press and hold the first photo until it selects, then drag your finger over the rest of the photos you want to delete without lifting off the screen, then finally press delete. HOWEVER, if you import the photo's to your Mac using iPhoto, at the end of the import there is an option to "delete photo's from ipad", however this option does not exist in Aperture 3 (that i can find, anyway...).
    One other way would be to import to iPhoto in this way then import iPhoto to Aperture...
    Have reported this to Apple as a change request.

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
    Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
    All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

    We certainly want you to get the most out of the device! To confirm is this the HTC One M7 or M8? When checking Settings>Power, what are some of the top apps and processes using battery? The battery is warrantied for one year so it is possible it is past its prime. Only HTC directly would be able to review replacement options of only the battery. I am eager to continue troubleshooting though!
