Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue: Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry. In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System) computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net. I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS. Its just the nature of the beast...
We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.....
Oh John.... Oh Marsha.....

After upgrading my iPhone 4s to iOS8 my battery life has been cut in half

After upgrading my iPhone 4s to iOS8 my battery life has been cut in half
Mail is 44% of the battery - I get about 300 emails through MSexchange and 25 through hotmail and .25 from cogeco.
Home & Lock Screen is 19%
Phone is 14%
Calendar 11%
Is there a bug in mail or is it just too much volume?

I see the same thing after upgrading to ios8 on my iphone 4S.
In my case, Mail is 76% of my activity. Disabling my mail accounts allows me to go back to my once a day charging routine. Otherwise, my battery runs down from 100% to 9% in 3.5 hours. I have two mail accounts. One exchange based the other is gmail.

Ever since last night my macbook pro 13 inch has been doing weird and not so wonderful things.

Ever since last night my macbook pro 13 inch has been doing weird and not so wonderful things. It will only power up with the power pack attached as soon as the battery pack is removed my lappy goes dead. The charge icon shows when its connected. Also if the lid is shut while it is still operating and not been shut down it completely shuts down, whether or not it has been shut down properly it takes 4-5 attempts of opening and closing the lid to get it to start up. It only seems to restart with the lid closed and only reason I know it has is because the apple icon lights up. When I finally get it started up the clock has reset itself back to 2008, requests for internet access pops up, outlook is not allowing me to delete emails, etc. Help!!!
TIA

yea man you need to take it to the Apple store ASAP. This is why I bought the Apple Care warranty when I bought my Macbook pro. At the Apple store they will trouble shot your problem and if it cant be fixed you may end up with a new lappy toppy good luck my friend, hope everything goes good, and your partner isn't to badly damaged

After updating to iOS 8 on my 5s my battery life has been cut in half.

I have had my iPhone 4s for a few months and the battery life was really good. Then around the same time I updated to ISO6 and I dropped it on the floor and since the battery life has been poor lasting only a few hours. Does anyone know why this is?

I don't know why the battery life has just become so poor. I can listen to 1 song and lose 1/2% battery life. I had all the settings the same as before updating to ISO6 and now it just goes. I did drop it around the same time but I have a stong case so I don't see how this should effect it. If anyone knows how to fix it would be a great help because I used to love iPod but I am very dissapointed.

Internal damage from fall or loose connector. Take it to
Apple to be checked.

the Tesco sim is an genuine iPhone micro sim from Tesco not a cut down??

I bought a refurbished iphone 5 from Verizon. The battery has to be recharged every day. I don't use it very much, yet I always have to put it on the charger, why is that ?

I'm really annoyed that the battery in my iphone 5 loses it's charge so quickly, won't even make it through the day. I turned off some of the notifications and other features that I don't use but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

mizzlizz70,
It is very frustrating when you have to frequently charge your phone. Help has arrived and we are able to assist with your battery needs. With a fully charged battery please dial #2539 and leave the line open for 10 minutes. An automated announcement will play. Review the current battery level after the test call.

I had 50/25 internet installed yesterday, and has been going in and out since. What's wrong?

Just to clarify, when I say going in and out, I never lose either "internet light" on my modem or on my computer. It stays connected but the speeds drop to basically zero and I cannot open anything. It seems to only happen when I have more than one internet page open at a time. For example, if I have a YouTube video playing and try to open Google, the video will stop loading and Google wont load whatsoever. This little outage lasts about a minute then both pages will reload. Until it happens less than 5 minutes later and I can't open anything again.
Is this a bandwidth problem? I have done speedtest multiple times and it's a hit or miss. When the internet is working I get a perfect run, but if not I'd be lucky to get past the ping test. I know **bleep** well 50/25 is more than enough to open youtube and google. Here is my latest speedtest. Like I said, it's hit or miss, I could go open another page then this wouldn't make it past ping.

It could be an upload problem since I just did a good download test on speedtest but the upload would not connect.
Did you run the optimizer?

IT SEEMS LIKE EVER SINCE I UPDATED MY 4S TO IOS 6 MY BATTERY LIFE IS NOT WHAT IT WAS BEFORE DURING THE DAY. I HAE TO PLACE IT ON THE CHARGER MANY TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY

Please stop shouting at us.
All caps indicates shouting, is considered rude, and is difficult to read.
Many will not read such posts.
Have you tried the bascis from the manual?
restart, reset, restore.
Have you checked your settings to make sure that you do not have something running that you do not want to run?

My iPhone 4s has been going black and shutting down then restarting itself, why?

Why does my iphone 4s keep going to a black screen, shutting down then restarting on its own??? Just started happening a day ago. Will I need to get a new phone or can this be fixed?

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset

Backing up, Updating and Restoring

If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

What has happened to my mozilla if the home page has been shrunk down and all the content has gone to thumbnails? Plus I have no tool bar at all

I was looking at a u tube video when all of a sudden when I tried to click the video off, the cursor started creating a circle around it and was moving all over and before I knew it, the google home page has shrunk down to a very small size all of the google eg web, video, etc details are in very small thumbnail rows on the left top of the screen and my tool bar is completely gone

Try [[How to clear the cache|clearing your cache]] that may well solve the problems on web content.
To get the tool bars back use Alt or F10 in your keyboard, then View -> Toolbars
* you will probably be able to just click on the relevant toolbar option such as the navigation toolbar to get it back
* if that fails you may need to consider the customise, and either drag items back, or restore the defaults

Continue having the SIM error.This started when I downloaded the last software upgrade to improve battery life. Please create a new upgrade to solve this!

SInce three weeks ago, exactly when I downloaded the new software upgrade to solve the battery short duration, I started to have problems with my iphone, every morning appears a SIM error and I have to reset the device to get internet signal. And then I have to do teh same every 3-4 hours because the sim error appears again! I brouth the device to my phone company ( telcel) but they cannot do nothing to fix this. They told that Apple know about this, because it is happening to many people. So, we all are waiting a new upgrade SOON PLEASE!!!

Hola Salvador, presento el mismo problema con la tarjeta SIM, cada mañana aparece el aviso y en ocasiones por las tardes, es un verdadero dolor de cabeza. ¿Qué fue lo que hiciste en telcel?
Pienso ir el viernes a ver qué solución me dan. Gracias. Espero tu respuesta.
Saludos

What are you talking about?

After upgrading my software to 6.1.3 I feel my battery life has gone down, anyone else have this?

My battery life has considerably gone down after I updated. I will task kill all apps turn brightness down, location services off and wifi off and 6 hours later of not using my iPad it will be down 25% (to 75%). Is this normal? Has anyone else noticed this? Or is this possibly related to something besides the update.

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A." The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC. Do NOT use an iPhone charger. Do NOT use an iPod charger. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
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).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

After uploading our phones with the latest update, we have noticed that the battery life has deminished considerably. I now have to charge my phone overnight and two or three times a day. Prior to the update, my battery life lasted me at least a full day

After uploading our phones with the latest update, we have noticed that the battery life has deminished considerably. I now have to charge my phone overnight and two or three times a day. Prior to the update, my battery life lasted me at least a full day. We have several phones in our office and the ones that have updated (4) now have issue holding a charge/battery life. I really liked this phone and can not believe that you are now going to charge us $79 a battery to fix what is most definately a problem with your latest update. I know other people outside of our company that are having the same problem. Not to mention when I called AT&T it was confirmed to me that they are hearing the same issue and then some from other customers as well. Your own people, once I talked to them earlier today, told me they are showing a history of issues that are showing up after the update was put in place. Of course she tried to say, "Maybe the age of the battery and the update both contributed". Whatever.
I want you all to know how disappointed I am in your company for the handling of this issue. I always thought "Apple" was the line I didn't have to worry about having any types of issue. And that you all would stand behined your product 100%. Now I am not so sure.
I would love to hear back from your company on how you perceive the issue with all of these phones that prior to the update didn't have any issues and how after the update THEY ARE NOW having issues. I do not believe this was an issue due to the age of a battery and that was pretty lame to say so. It was fine and now its not.
Please feel free to contact me and help me figure out a way to pay for all of the batteries that will be needed for our company to contiue doing business as needed.
Thank you.
