Once a month to zero charge

So I'm following the advice from Apple to let my iPad run to 0% at least once a month, then charge it to 100%. This supposedly yields a more accurate percentage of charge displayed during regularly usage.
Question now is, how to let it go to 0%?
For example, just now it was very low, so I simply turned up the brightness and played a video. It abruptly went dead silent. So yes, that's zero charge. But it didn't feel right. Maybe I'm too used to the Macintosh, where we should always use the shut down command instead of yanking the power cord.
Is there a better way to zero out the battery?

As Dah•veed said, that's the way to do it. That is how you get the iPad to shut off on it's own, by using it until the battery runs down and it shuts off.
You only need to do this once a month in order to calibrate the battery sensor in order to get a more accurate reading from the battery gauge. Don't let the iPad drain down to zero routinely before you recharge the battery. Only do that once a month.
I charge the battery every single night no matter what the battery gauge reads. I have done this since day one with both of my iPads.

  • Does Apple want you to let the battery get low once a month or completely  drained to zero%?

    Does Apple want you to let the battery get low once a month or completely  drained to zero%?

    Of course, if you use the device it is likely that you will have charge cycles in any event.
    On devices with percent charge indicators (iPad, iPhone) I believe that Apple recommends a charge cycle once a month to keep the percent indicator accurate.

  • Is it ok to let your battery drain completely once a month?

    I read on the Apple website that it is good to let your battery drain completely once a month then recharging it fully once a month. Is it good to do this? I was also reading that when you complete a charge cycle, it decreases the battery's capacity slightly everytime. I remember doing this every once and awhile on my older iPhone 3GS and about 3 yrs down the road, the battery would read about 60% charge then it would just cut off. It would cut off on its own even when it would read 100%. I just want to charge my iPhone 5 in the best way so it can last a long time, more than 3yrs like the 3GS.

    Follow the good advise from Apple, you may also like to take a look at this Apple link... http://www.apple.com/batteries/

  • I have an I phone 4s, have had it little over a month and the charger is no longer working. Now I have to return it at my inconvenience and wait for a replacement. I am very disappointed considering it is Apple. Has anybody else had this problem?

    I have an i phone 4s, I have had it just over a month. The charger is not working and it has to be returned. Very disappointed considering it is Apple I expected  better and have never had this problem with any other phone. Now I have the inconvenience of having to return it and waiting for a replacement and in the meantime I'm without a phone. Has this happened to anyone else?

    Wow, life is certainly tough for you.
    S***t happens.  That's why there's a warranty.

  • This new version of FireFox is making me nutz! It is SUCKING 100% CPU time almost constantly. I could just pull my hair out. I wpdated once a month or so ag

    I tried to add this in the topic already open but it kept sending me through the unending rabbit holes!
    My question is: How do I figure out what release I was on, get rid of this one and got back to a functional firefox that moves in realtime. I already did all the reset and etc.... I just want to go back to the speed I had. This halting , hanging up misery of a browzer is Sad. I have had firefox for years and always recommended it ..... BUT NOT ANY MORE. I agree with the other poster ... there should be a rollback feature. Peoples time has value and right now FireFox is sucking the value down a rabbit hole.
    See Below Comment Feedback submitted before I finally got here:
    This new version of FireFox is making me nutz! It is SUCKING 100% CPU time almost constantly. I could just pull my hair out. I wpdated once a month or so ago and it slowed down..... but the latest update before I did the reset really slowed me down. I came here to fix it a couple of dayz ago and did the reset firefox and now it IS RUNNING SO POORLY AND SLOW I AM ABOUT TO KILL IT OFF MY MACHINE!!! Yes that is me yelling - and it happened in SSSSSSSSSSSSS LLLLLLLLL OOOOOOOO WWWWWWWWWW Motion. I have run all the security scans and cleanups ---this needs a fix ASAP!!! PS: The hang ups and slowness is EVERYWHERE I go. I only get speed doing programs not connected to ON LINE.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • My Mac was hung up, friendly support person helped me empty cache, said to do it once a month. How did I do it? And what other regular maintenance things ought I be doing?

    My Mac was hung up, friendly Apple Support person helped me empty the cache, said I should do it once a month. Forgot how I got there to do it. And what other regular mainentance ought I be doing?

    See Thomas Reed's Mac Performance Guide, item 7.
    You don't need to clean your caches once a month. Doing so will only slow down your computer. OS X takes care of that kind of maintaince.

  • Once a month backup on time capsule

    Does anyone know how to set my time capsule to only back up once a month and not every hour - i have around 80GB of data and hourly updates of 80GB has filled up my 500GB time capsule rather fast.

    Hi
    Aperture backs up everything - everytime - hence it did multiple backups in one day and wiped previous backups hence - not so much of a time machine, if you canonly go back one day.......be warned.
    Not quite . . . according to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15140.html, that happens if Aperture is open when a backup runs.
    If that's a problem, turn Time Machine OFF while using Aperture.

  • Once a month Drop/Recreate Sequence

    Hello,
    I have very little experience with a stored procedure, but I'm working on learning. This is what I am trying to achieve:
    I have a sequence that I need reset once at the beginning of each month. I am using it as a monthly counter. I can code in my program to drop the sequence and re-create it once a month, but I'm really looking to do this with some type of triggered stored procedure within the DB.
    Thanks for all suggestions,

    Check you haven't been infected by a Botnet:
    Simply put, a bot – which is short for robot – is an automated computer program that allows outside sources to control computers remotely without the users' knowledge. A botnet is a network of hundreds or thousands of computers infected with botnet malware that communicates covertly with a command-and-control (CnC) server run by a type of cybercriminal called a botmaster. Unbeknownst to the individual users, their computers are linked in a rogue network which the botmaster can utilize for a variety of nefarious purposes.

  • E-mail via Workflow task is not send they say aprox once a month

    Hi there
    I am asked to check one system with a “workflow” running 2+ years. It is actually an task with method which sends an e-mail when Purchase requisition is created.
    It istriggered by event in user exit(via function).

    The problem is that e-mail is not send they say aprox once a month (which I personaly do not believe). However I have to do something (and explain what could be the reason).

    I have in mind to subtye BUS2081 to e.g zz BUS2081 and then delegate bus2081 system wide(which is not done (but I think this will not solve the problem).

    I created event  ZCREATED for object ZABUS2105 (done as copy of BUS2105) in user exit MEREQ001 (EXIT_SAPLMEREQ_008) while creating purchase requisition via z transaction me51n and my colleague added this function in MV45AFZZ(while creating purchase order from sales order).

    There are several things you can check before starting to check the code/solution.
    I would start by sending an e-mail from SAP Business Workplace - either to someone who say he/she receives e-mail only once a month, or to yourself if that is not possible. Check how long it takes from the mail is sent until it is received. Once the first mail has been received, send another mail and check the time again (to determine the sendmail process' interval). Of course you can probably just check the configuration of send processes ... but you may as well give them some hard proof.
    Secondly, check the send log (transaction SOST) - and find out how often there are the type of messages you are interested in. Alternatively, test the workflow and verify that messages are sent immediately.

    These are usually the features of a faulty battery. Restore iPhone Firmware with iTunes 10.7 or 11 on computer. See if better. If not, and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no Coverage, still make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick (minutes time) battery diagnostic testing.
