Weird Battery Usage Using the Dock's Line-Out
I have noticed something particularly weird about using my iPod w/the dock's line-out. (I have the original 60GB photo).
When I use the dock's line-out to connect to my home stereo via an RCA cable, I get roughly 3 hours of continuous play on a full charge before the battery meter changes decreases.
But when I use the dock's line-out to connect to my PC computer speakers via an RCA cable (at work), I get roughly 2 hours of continuous play on a full charge before the battery meter changes decreases.
Anyone have any ideas what may be causing the shorter battery life while listening via PC speakers?

Hi Carl - thanks for the reply. I consistently get 15 hours of continuous play from my battery. Yep, the battery & meter are properly calibrated (in fact, I'm pretty anal about that!) I'm not sure I'm getting less battery life, per se, I just find it interesting that I get 2 different readings from using the line-out in 2 different configurations. I'm assuming that maybe the PC speakers are using more power? I'm not electrically-inclined, and maybe I'm just going on a wild goose chase!

Using the dock to charge my iPad
Perhaps I don't understand how to charge my iPad using the dock, but I've found that the iPad will only charge when it is in the dock if it (the iPad) is actually turned off. Is this normal? I'd like to be able to leave the iPad on when it docked, but the battery slowly drains.t And, yes, the dock is plugged in to a power source!
Ok I have solution for PC and PC base laptops for Windows OS.
All you need to is to get this tool from Asus and install in on you PC or Laptop it will boost the power to USB:

I have a Sony radio in my car. With IOS 4 on my IPhone I could use the docking plug to the usb input on the radio and stream ESPN radio or pandora to the radio. After upgrading to IOS 5 on the phone the Sony radio will not recognize the phone . Any thoughts.
I am reading on this site about the error I am getting and it wants me to change some files that I am not comfortable messing with. Mainly because it is like a foreign language. Will the store do this for me or tell me if it is neccessary?

i can not re install Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional on my computer. It is saying a qualifying product is not detected. I cant even get through using the customer service line they provide 800-272-3623. This is the worst interactionI have ever had with a company.
Hi joej49728017,
I am so sorry for the inconvenience caused. However this is just because Adobe Acrobat 7.0 is an outdated version & the now the activation server for it does not exist.
Please refer to the following KB doc. Error: "Activation Server Unavailable" | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
The above link will help you to install a special version that does not require activation.
In case you further need any help, please let us know. We will be more than happy to help you.
Regards,

How to use the "target Data lines"?
Hello,
I want to program some DSP effects and filters with Java. I know to use the "Clip" and the "Sound" data lines in the Java Sound API, but it is difficult to me tu use the "target data lines" to do what I want to. So I have several questions :
I have found how to convert a clip to a target data line. I have understood how to get the int from the sounds via the target data line. But, when I have done the operations with this int, how to do again a sound from the int? Wich method must I use to "convert the int to a sound"?
Normally, oscillators and filters need to do an integration using the sample rate. Does anyone could give to me some exemples?
I have found code sources for C++ for DSP. Where could I find the same for Java?
Do you know a book about this subject, I did not find any?
Thank you for your help.My idea is to create a byte array from the audio clip via a ByteArrayOutputStream, then to create an int or a float, then do the operations, and then do another audio line from the new byte array. Am I wrong?This is correct, I believe.
This byte array will have a size of 16 (for PCM or wave files) surrely.Not necessarily. If you're using 16-bit samples for PCM data, then every 2 array positions will be "a sample". Your byte array will be 2 times the number of samples.
You'll want to pull the data 2-bytes at a time and do basiclly:
byte[] data_in = new byte[2];
myTargetDataline.read(data_in, 0, 2);
short sample = (data_in[0] << 8) + (data_in[1]);Then do whatever you want to your sample, and then write it back...
byte[] data_out = new byte[] {
(byte)(sample >>> 8),
(byte)(sample )
mySourceDataline.write(data_out, 0, 2);I used a short instead of an int because it's 16-bit data, so it's a short. PCM may be an "unsigned" short, but you'll have to check into that yourself ;-)
To be perfectly honest, I've never done this so my sample code will probably need to be tweaked. But I hope it helps you get headed in the right direction, and gimme an update when you try it out. -
I frequently use Lightroom 3.6 for tethered capture on location. If I sign up for Adobe cloud and upgrade to Lightroom 5, do I have to be online all the time to use it? In other words, can I still use the program off-line?
Yes.
The only difference is the installation method and the ownership verification. The program still is installed on and runs from your local machine. You only have to hook up to the internet every 60-90 days to verify ownership.
From the FAQ
Do I need to be online to access my desktop apps?
No, the desktop applications in Creative Cloud, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, are installed directly on your computer, so you don’t need an ongoing Internet connection to use them.
An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license. The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days.
Annual members can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode." -

Can I tranasfer photos FROM my iPhone4s to my iMac using the dock connector? Not WiFi or the cloud.
The manual is no help. Neither is FAQ's.

JerryYes, if you're talking about the photos in the camera roll.
Plug it in and open iPhoto. It should appear like any other digital camera. -
When my screen saver has been on a while, I have to use the cursor to "rub out" part of the screen saver to see my login section. Can anyone help me with this?
I don't have a solution for you, but just wanted to let you know I used to have the exact same problem. I resolved it (for the most part....about 90% of the time, anyway) by adjusting the screensaver and power settings to never let the computer go to sleep.

Just installed IOS 8 to iphone 5 and cannot connect to WI FI. Sometimes connects and when I begin to use the phone ot drops out.
I have attempted all the regular trouble shoots such as resets, complete restore and reinstallation of ios 8. no change.I don't have an answer for you but from my experience iOS WiFi syncing has always been a hit and miss affair (more miss than hit I'm afraid). I have gotten to the stage where I rarely use the WiFi sync. It is just quicker, easier and much less stressful to use the USB cable. I am having the same issues with all the iOS devices in our family which includes various models of iPhone, iPad and an iPod Touch and have been having them since WiFi syncing was introduced (in iOS5 ???). And then I have not even mentioned my favorite iTunes syncing messages: "Waiting for items to copy" and "Waiting for changes to be applied"!
iTunes is always extremely quick and eager to pick up the devices but as soon as I click on sync it shows "Looking for iDevice" and then the device disappears. I have found that initiating the sync from the Settings app on the device prevents this issue.
It does however seem as if it is worse with Windows 7. I did not have so many issues with my previous Windows Vista PC.
Sorry I cannot be of any help. -

Lumia series has very weird battery usage, please ...
Hey. I have a lumia 920 and a 1020, and my wife has a 925. All of them does the same thing, and I can not for the life of me figure out why it does it.
Suddenly it will use the battery like crazy. I mean crazy as in losing 50% in an hour laying idle. It might even restart sometimes. I have played around with all sort of settings making sure nothing is turned on that does not need to be on.
It does this at random, and at random times. It might be days between.
I tried all sort of battery apps to see if I could find one that would specify what the battery was used on, but as fare as I can see there is no such app. There is graphs and % per hour and so on, but no specific power usage app.
I really hope that I am not alone in this, and there is a solution out there. It is a really big problem as the phone has ran out of power in the middle of the night, and I use it as an alarm clock. It has used 100% just laying on the table in 1 night, though I am not sure when exactly it ran out of juice.
Anyone know **bleep** is going on? This is the 3ed phone that does it, and I dont know whats wrong here.There have been instances where I have experienced excessive battery drain on my Lumia phones. The worst was due to my Exchange account which tore through my battery in just a few short hours. What actually happened was that my company decided to block all access to everyones accounts while they were carrying out some security work but my phone went into overdrive trying to constantly synchronise with the servers and failing. This caused the battery to drain very rapidly indeed.
So my first tip would be to check out all accounts and apps that have a regular sync interval or require an active internet connection to function. Things like instant messenger apps (Viber, WhatsApp and Skype) and also have a look at your Email accounts.
Sometimes though, it can something as simple as a stuck process using the CPU but these can be difficult to identify and pin down.
Another major cause of excessive battery drain is when the phone is looking for a 3G/4G signal when you are in an area with poor 3G/4G coverage. 4G especially will be a big power hog and have more of an impact on your battery than 3G because it naturally uses more power than 3G.
Lastly, you can search the forum for "Excess battery drain" or words to that effect for other help and advice, as this topic has been discussed quite a bit already. -
Hi,
I have a T430s and the older Lenovo dock with USB 2.0. Is it possible to use my computer while it is closed with an external mouse, keyboard and monitor? I would be using a wireless keyboard and mouse and a DVI monitor. How do I do this? Thanks!!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi jppregulman,
You should be able to set up the external monitor in the docking station as normal and then afterwards set your lid to "do nothing" when its closed.
Go to "start", type "power options" and click it when it comes up, click "change plan settings", click change advanced power settings, select "power buttons and lid", select "lid close action", select "do nothing" for both "on battery" and "plugged in" options, then apply and ok.
You should now be able to use your external monitor while the lid is closed.
