Sleep vs Power Off - battery usage?

on my 2nd gen iPod Touch, being in sleep mode when not using (rather than powering off) doesn't seem to significantly affect battery charge - i.e., little if any battery charge loss is noticed
So, on a 5th gen iPod Touch, does sleep mode (e.g., overnight) significantly drain the battery or would it be more like my 2nd gen experience?
Thank you

Because when sleeping the 5G/iOS 6 and 7 are doing more and thus draining the battery faster.

After Sleep, and power off, Lion Crash Totaly! iMac core i5 2011

After Sleep, and power off, Lion Crash Totaly!
I`'ve buy a iMac core i5, July 15 2011, 500gb, 4gb (upgraded to 8gb Ram).
Transf my MBP with Snow at first iMac power on, after tranfer Snow, I buy the Lion, install and use until 2 weeks. After the first Sleep, turn Lion power off to change place. When power on, the Lion was Crashed the computer in some way that was impossible to recover or do anything. even go back the timemachine with Lion or Snow, trey clean PRAM, DVD Boot, nothing works.
So, I put a Ubuntu LiveCD, REMOVE COMPLETE THE GUID of iMac Disk, also clean the PRAM (cmd+opt+ P + R during boot), so, the iMac was Clean and I Install the SNOW (sure).
I just Lost the money and download time that spent to get with Lion?
How can I have a Lion DVD for when Apple fix the LOT OF PROBLEMS?
Have apple schedule for fix problems?

Put to Sleep, or Power off?

Is it best for me to put my iPod Touch to sleep or power it off when I'm not using it?

are you sure? i read that turning off the iPod completely (and on again) actually drains the battery more.
since i read that (in a battery saving tips thread) i always leave mine sleeping. my battery behaves fine, it does get low after i've listened to a 3.5 hour radio show via wifi on the BBC iPlayer, or play power consuming games, but wifi/gaming does take up battery.
i do use it on pretty much a daily basis, and sync it (thus charge it, even a little bit) most days, but sleep mode works just fine for me.
i'd say if you aren't using it for a long period of time then powering off is probably better for it. otherwise sleep mode is definitely the way forward. (apart from anything else, loading the iPod touch up from scratch, takes a good few minutes, which can be a little grating if you want instant access to your music!)

Sleep or power off for traveling?

Is it ok to transport the MBP (in the back-bag) while it is in the sleeping mode? or should I turn it off totally before transport? Please let me know, thanks

Hi Tom71,
The MacBookPro actually has various possible sleep modes, but the default is one which both saves a 'sleep image" to disk (in case of a battery running out, etc - hence the slow "going to sleep" process, and maintains the contents of RAM - hence the fast wakeup unless the sleep image has to be accessed, but the continuing current drain).
Maintaining the contents of RAM necessarily uses power.
You can change the sleep mode using terminal if you wish, but a useful little utility called "SmartSleep" makes this easier.
Your choices are essentially:
1) the default (discussed above) - slow to sleep, fast to wake, with power maintained to RAM.
2) "sleep only" mode - in which power is maintained to the RAM, but no sleep image is written - fast both in going to sleep and waking up but less secure than the other options and still uses your battery.
3) "hibernation" mode only - doesn't maintain power to RAM, but writes the disk image - slow to sleep and slow to wake, but it substantially reduces power consumption while sleeping over any extended period and is safe if your battery runs out anyway.
(there are two additional modes which are relevant if you are using "secure virtual memory")
If you want to use Terminal commands to make the changes see http://www.macworld.com/article/53471/2006/10/sleepmode.html
There is also a Widget available called "Deep Sleep" - http://www.axoniclabs.com/DeepSleep/ that will "hibernate" your Mac if you wish.

Power Off Battery Drain? What's Up With Th

Hmmm I think i have heard about this issue before, but I just never knew why. You see, yesterday in the morning, before i left for school, i charged by zen micro using the ac adapter. When I came home, it was done charging and i unplugged it and let it sit on my desk. At 0 PM, i turned it on and only used it for 5 minutes(with medium volume and backlight off). I didn't charge it that night, so when i came home today at 4 PM and turned on my Zen Micro, i had lost a battery guage, so i was then down to 2. Does anybody know how I am suppose to "conserve" my battery power when it's OFF? Also when it is off, I hear some noise when i put my headphones half way in, so know the battery is still in use. What's going on? Can anybody please help me?

Bluetooth on/off -- battery usage

is the phones bluetooth on when the 'B' is grayed out?
i dont want to use the bluetooth headset all that much, so when i power down the headset -- does the iphone turn off bluetooth or just eat up battery waiting for me to turn the headset back on? i manually turned it off yesterday, but today when i docked it next to the headset, i noticed the 'B' icon on again but in a light gray...
thanks for any help or info...

If it is toggled on, then it is pinging looking for devices it has been paired with. Gray just means it doesn't see anything, but it is on. Thus using battery. If you want to save every bit of battery as you can, you should turn it off manually on the phone.

Lid won't latch - powerbook won't wake from sleep, must power off and on -

the catch on the lid of this 12" Powerbook G4 does not come out when the lid is closed; it can be brought out with a small tool. what is going on? the computer does not wake from sleep eitherl, must be turned off with power button and then turned on. If only the display is set to sleep, then it wakes up as expected. Are the two related? Is this a case for resetting the Power Management Unit, I could not be sure from the Apple article.

Bob:
Try starting up in Safe Mode, logging into your account, emptying Trash, then rebooting normally. I have found this helpful when I have had sleep problems with my Pismo.
Is this a case for resetting the Power Management Unit,
Wouldn't hurt to try.
In terms of your latch, it is likely a mechanical problem. When the tongue is pulled out try putting a very small amount of lubricant on the tongue and working it back and forth.
Good luck.

Betreff: Helix, windows 8.1. Sleep and power off not working correctly.

I'm still havin issues booting my computer when docked or using standby when docked. I've set my computer to allways hibernate to disk as this lessens the problems for me when the computer hangs during bootup. The information is still there on the disk when you try to bootup several times.
The backdraw is that boot is really slow and it I can tell you that it's really not making a good impression when you bring the computer to a presentation and people ask about it.

Hi WooHooMe
i tried fixing it but had no luck, although it was fixed for a brief time. I think the problem is with the wireless driver. I think if you uninstall the intel pro set wireless software and then disable the network adapter(from device manager) reboot and re-enable the issue should be fixed. My problem was that afterwards i tried sharing media from my desktop and the problem resurfaced.. So it was a short win.
other things i tried is disabling the homegroup services(from control panel-->administrative tools-->services), opening cmd with administrator rights and typing "powercfg -requests" to see if there was anything blocking sleeping.
Anyway if you want to fix the shutdown issue, just disable fast startup from power options! It will shut down correctly but sleep will still have a problem.
The other problem i have is i can't refresh windows. My usb recovery drive won't be recognised, and a win8 cd i had wouldn't help also(something about the windows drive being locked).
If you have virtual box installed you could also check this http://gurustop.net/blog/2013/09/11/windows-8-1-sleep-stand-by-hang-freeze-unable-to-wake-up-virtual...
That's what i got so far, hope it helps, till someone who knows a bit more solves the issue.

Sleep or Power Off

The little book says Shut Down when you're going to be away from the machine for a day or two. I know I almost always leave my iMac in sleep, but do I really want to be walking around with the MBP in a laptop bag while it's in sleep mode, or do I want to shut it down?

personally i leave it n sleep but then again the only times i take my machine any where it to class to take notes with it so i dont want to shut down and lose all the web sties i have open and have to reopen all the applications had or was working on.
if your traveling long distances or will have it away for a long time and you dont really need/want to keep all your stuff open you should probably turn it off. if the machine was hot right before you put it away it has the potential to over heat in the case and all that good stuff so turning it off would probably be better to help it cool down but its kinda a toss up just really depends on how long you are going to have it away.

Does sleep mode power off ext. HD?

I've got a My Book. The instructions say it only powers down if you unplug it, however the light turns off when I put the computer in sleep mode. It's powering down, right? (I've heard bad stories about external hard drives practically exploding because they're on all day long.)
Thanks.

Hi there,
I don't think you have too much to worry about just as long as both your Mac and MyBook go through wake/sleep cycles properly. I've got an external and the lights go completely off when my Mac goes into deep sleep, prior to deep sleep, the external HD light does slowly "pulsate"...

Iphone 6 plus the battery usage times are erased when you turn off and back on iphone

i´m desperate. this has already happened with 4 new different iphone. I have it a week ago and suddenly when i turn it on un the morning i deleted the hours of use and standby battery. I get two hyphens . Reloading up to 100% and the counter is reset. but when you come back off and on again disappears again use times.I restored, reset settings and many other things but can not find the solution. has passed me at least 4 different iphones and the truth is that leads me crazy. someone could help me because in support anyone give me a solution.
many thanks. you are the only option left for me to discover something so rare and unanswered.
PD: so if I have observed is that when new and still has not restored works well. I have been working well so far that restored cleanly to put him last update. iphone latter came with 8.1 installed and use it for a week and did not fail. the problem appeared to restore and put him 8.1.1 . others began to fail after restore and do a clean install because it came with the iOS 8 and your so cleanly actualizer 8.1

i have an iphone 6 plus and i just powered it off and and back on (by using the sleep/wake button) and the slide to power off - usage time/stand by time was preserved
if you reset and iphone (holding sleep/wake and home buttons until Apple logo appears - you will see those dashes until the next time the iPhone is charged backup to 100% - this has been the behavior with every iPhone i have owned (and Ive owned every one since the original

Sounds like you need a #1SMC Reset
1. SMC reset
>>Instructions to reset SMC
Disconnect other non-Apple and external hardware except (if applicable) a mouse and keyboard until your finished repairing your machine.
Problems solved: Fans blowing with no activity, machine is not booting, power button pressed and nothing happens, problems with indicators, Magsafe has wrong lights, battery is not charging, monitor and graphics issues etc. If the battery is not charged (from like letting it sleep too long), let the Mac charge up awhile afterwards.
Will not hurt the machine resetting if it's not broken.
Other related hardware problems (optional):
Check battery status: Hold option/alt key down while clicking on the battery icon in the menu bar, top right corner.
Magsafe: Use the correct/matching power supply charger with your Mac, not a less powered one from another Mac.

U430 power off while on battery

Hi,
I have had my Lenovo U430 touch for about a month now, and have noticed a problem with it. Sometimes when I leave my Lenovo u430 touch alone (with full battery), and sometimes it will just power off without me doing anything. It even happens occasionally when I dont use it for a few minutes while im working in front of it.
It is definitely a power-off problem for me, rather than hibernate/sleep as my programs are no longer running when I turn it back on.
Hasnt caused any lasting damage as yet but am worried it could happen while im working on something important.
Happy to give more info if needed (will need instructions on how to get it though - im not that computer-savvy).
Thanks for any help.
Solved!

Hi Olaf9500,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing an issue with system turn off when the system is in idle in your U430 laptop.
As you have mentioned for the drivers please check the below link for the drivers.
Click here for the energy management drivers if the operating system is windows 8(both 64bit and 32 bit).
Click here for the energy management drivers if the operating system is windows 7(both 64bit and 32 bit).
If you are using windows 7 then go to start search type power option, under on battery there is option for turn off the display, select never option and check for the issue.
Also there is option for the sleep under the power option select never option and check for the issue.
Hope this helps! Do post us back for further queries.

Portege Z930 drains battery even when power off

I noticed that if I unplug the laptop during night with the battery at full charge, after 8 hours it has lost 4% of charge after a complete power off...
That's crazy!!
Is this the normal behaviour?
Or, can I modify something in the BIOS in order to reduce this power drain?
da

Dude disabling the Sleep / Charge and disabling Wake Up on LAN in BIOS and in the device manager (LAN card -> Properties -> Advanced tab) should help.
Dont forget to save the BIOS after some changes has been made.
If you would read some posting about the same theme, you will find many reports that this helped other community members.

T420s discharging battery while power off

Hi!
I have T420s with ID: 417173G. There is a problem: when machine is fully power off (not hybernate or sleep mode), main battery is discharged -35% after 72 hours. Does it's a normal?

Check the global setting in the powermanager, whether "Activate USB permanently" is marked. - Disable it.
