Went to sleep at 63% and woke up dead! Is it possible to return 4S and just use my 4 or am I acting to soon?

Went to sleep at 63% and woke up dead! Is it possible to return 4S and just use my 4 or am I acting to soon? The fact that I'm not always home and don't get to charge as much as I could scares me. I need my phone for alarms and meeting in the morning but waking up to it drained is not good at all!

I had my iPhone use 20% of power an hour before I did the following.
1.) Turn off iAds and diagnostics in location settings:system settings.
2.) Turn off Calender in Notifications
3.) If you have any exchange mail accounts ( I had 3 Gooogle accounts one set for mail and calendar, 2 set for mail only. remember when setting Google server m.google.com or it won't push to the phone.) delete them REBOOT your iPhone then redo them then Reboot one more time.
Result: iPhone batt usage is now 4% an hour. my phone went for 19 hours with moderate (streaming, surfing, recording and viewing movies on camera app) on wifi use before getting to 5%

HT201209 I went onto my computer and set up an account...I entered my gift cards where it said redeem and there is $40 on my account. However,I have no idea how to use it. I read that I can take my credit card out and just use the itunes card but again

I went into the computer and set up my account, I then went to where you enter the gift card info to redeem the money and my account says I have $40...however, when I go and try to use it I can not figure out how to do so. I also read that I can remove my credit card info and just use Itune cards...but again i can not figure out how to do this.
This is very frustrating because something so simple is turning into an all day fiasco!

Hello Brod1,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing. The iTunes Store will automatically recognize the credit you applied. You can find the details of how iTunes Store purchases are billed below:
Order of iTunes billing methods
When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.
When you buy individual songs from the iTunes Store:
Free song credits are redeemed first.
If you have no free song credits, gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used next.
If your gift certificate, prepaid card, and/or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance.
If you have no free song credits or gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the songs you buy.
When you buy an album on the iTunes Store:
Gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used first.
If your gift certificate, prepaid card, or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance. Note: Free song credits cannot be used for album purchases.
If you have no gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the albums you buy.

HT201371 does touching the home button wakes up the iPhone 5s or do we physically have to Click on Home Button or Sleep/Wake button and then use touch id?

does touching the home button wakes up the iphone 5S or do we physically have to Click on Home Button or Sleep/Wake button and then use touch id?
What I am trying to say is that each time I have to click on the home button to wake up the iphone 5s and then it scans my print and logs me in the phone however I was hoping that by just putting the finger on the button will do the whole thing of waking up + unlocking the phone,
Can anyone please let me know if I am wrong or if I am right? since I just bought iphone 5s and I am not sure if the sensor is working or not the way it should be.

It sounds like it is working the way it should be. You do have to click one of the two buttons. The closest thing to doing it as a single operation is to click the Home button but don't remove your finger from the button (i.e., leave your finger lightly on the button immediately after clicking it).

Install for mountain lion is not progressing - for about 3 hrs now. It went to the launch pad and just has a dot, saying it is "downloading", but no progress. Shouldn't i get a "time remaining" somewhere?

The Download is about 4GB, it depends on how fast your internet connection is and how busy Apple computers are. Have you any way of checking if your Internet is downloading, I.E activity lights on you router. My Internet is 8Mb/s download and it took just over an hour to download earlier today.
I am not sure about a "time remaining"icon.

How do I delete two old Apple ID's and just use my current Apple ID?

I had an Apple ID with an AOL email, I switched over to yahoo. While making the switch I misspelled the yahoo email address. I could not delete it, so I made another yahoo email address ID. Eventually I lost access to my previous purchases that were associated with the faulty email address even though I was using my current (correct email) to log onto iTunes. I found this out when my Macbook crashed (iPhoto) and I could not access my previous purchases. Eventually I was able to convince Apple Account Security Support that I was the person who set up the account (I am living in Barcelona currently and calling for support cost a lot of euro on a pay as you go sim and holding for 1 hour is a big waste of euro, but I understand that Apple Support is busy BUT, if you (Chris and Tyler) say you will call a customer back if you are disconnected you should follow through, not leave the customer hanging) (A SHOUT OUT TO MERCEDES, SHE FOLLOWED THROUGH!!!) (Chris and Tyler you guys need additional customer training from Mercedes)
Anyway, back on topic. By a stroke of luck, while I was on hold for 30 minutes, I found the crossed out password to my faulty email ID, I was able to view/restore ALL of my previous purchases. So, my problem now is that I still have two unused Apple ID's. I want to delete them and just use the current. I don't want to call Apple again because I cannot waste anymore euro on hold and I do not feel confident that the Account Security representative will call me back, Mercedes is an exception to that. It would be nice to resolve this by email correspondence OR and actual call from Apple Account Security.
On a side note, I have purchased three Apple devices while here in Barcelona. Europe has a mandatory two year warranty, but if you have a US iTunes Account serial numbers written in for warranty information only are recognized by US one year warranty standards. Apple should Should acknowledge this loophole/oversight.
So that's a brief summary as it relates to my question. Sorry for the length of it. I hope I can get some good opinions for a possible resolution for my question/issue.
Thanks

Your account isn't US or Spanish or any country but should be associated with the country in which you are resident. Your US account becomes a Spanish account if that is where you now live but it is all the same AppleID. Before you change country make sure you have downloaded and backed up any purchases from your previous country's store. You will not be able to re-download them again once you change countries and it won't be easy to change countries to the previous one once you lose your payment method for the former country (as well as a wait period). As long as you have them on your computer you will be okay.
Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht6119 - "After you change the country of your account, you won't see the items you purchased from the previous country’s store in the Purchased section."
Even if you do not change country you are not supposed to use your account outside the USA. The iTunes Store in a country is intended for use only by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itune/us/terms.html#SERVICE
As for the devices, I believe except for computers the warranties only apply in the country/region of purchase. If you return to the USA with them you would have to return them to Spain for any service (and no, Apple will not ship them back to another country either direction -- you'll have to get a friend to take them in).
Apple Hardware Warranties - http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ - select device, then model, then country, then view warranty button. Look for:
"IMPORTANT RESTRICTION
Apple may restrict warranty service to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the Apple Product." - http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/iphone-english.html

HT204266 How can I remove my credit card from payments and just use iTunes cards

Can I connect my Time Capsule wired to the computer and just use it as a back up

Can I connect my Time Capsule to my computer (wired) and just use it as a back up and not as a wireless router?

Yes, you simply bridge the TC..
Just google for it as we have posted the instructions endlessly.
The one trick that might be necessary is to ensure the TC is on a different IP range to the main broadband connection.
And make sure the gateway and dns do not cause issues.. so it is generally better to set static ip on the TC and the computer.
None of it is hard so ask for specific instructions if you get to the point.

Can i buy the new iphone 5c and just use like a ipod since i do not want to activate it yet?

Can i buy the new iphone 5c and just use it as a ipod since i do not wish to activate it yet?

The phone needs to be activated first with a sim in it. It doesn't need to be an active sim. Read this
USING AN IPHONE AS AN IPOD
Restore your phone as new. Place a SIM card into the phone and connect it your computer with iTunes open and follow the activation assistant to activate the iphone. Once the iphone have been activated remove the SIM card and turn on imessage in settings/messages. Only your Apple ID should appear in the “You can be reached by imessage at” and “Start new conversation from” fields. Read the following article for help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406

HT1918 i want to know how to cancel a credit card account and just use an i tunes card

How do I cancel a credit card account and just use my i tunes card? Every time I try to use my i tunes card, it reverts back to the credit card account which I do not want to use.

If you do not have your card registered to your iTunes Store account, then these are most likely fraudulent charges to your credit card directly rather than an unauthorized purchase through your iTunes Store account. Report the charges as fraudulent to your bank. They will probably cancel your existing credit card and issue you a new one.
Regards.

Hi..
Select None in the Payment Information window.
Then purchase iTunes gift cards which you can redeem from the iTunes Store to make purchases. Be aware, that the None option is not available in all counties.

Is it possible to remove the To: field in mail and just use Bcc?

Hi,
I often use Mail at work to distribute information by email to members of our union. I copy and paste their email address from another list that is kept up to date by someone else. Most of the time I remember to paste their addresses to the Bcc field so members don't see who else is a member or their email addresses. Occasionally I forget and paste it into the To field and get many complaints about privacy etc.
I therefore feel it would be safer if I could some how remove the To field and just use the Bcc field instead. Is this possible or does anyone have any better ideas?
Regards and thanks,
Dave.

This will depend entirely upon the SMTP. Some SMTP will move a Bcc address to the To because their policy requires at least one address be in the To. Other do not require it.
Better to create a Group in Address Book, and then use the Group name as the addressee, taking care to have the Preferences set to not display members of the Group. The resulting To will read Undesignated Receipts.

MB went to sleep at 50% battery, woke up at 1%... Rogue process?

So i stepped away from my Core2Duo macbook for long enough that it went to sleep automatically. When i returned to it, i tried to turn it on, however, it wouldn't budge. i picked it up to take it to the power connector in another room and i noticed that the processor area was rather hot, almost like the processor was being utilized.
After plugging it in the power, i turned it on and the macbook recovered from its sleep mode and the battery was at 1%. When it went to sleep it was at about 50%.
Now my question is, what could have caused this drain? Can a process still run while the macbook goes to sleep? what do you guys think?
thanks,

I've had something like this happen before, but it wasn't something that happened all the time, just once or twice. you said that you did not put it to sleep manually, so I'm thinking there was a process that was running that prevented the CPU from sleeping. is it happening all the time, or just once? i'd recomend checking what processes are running in activity monitor and seeing if there i anything using alot of the cpu that may have drained it.
good luck

Can I buy a SmartPhone without getting the data plan, and just using the wifi?

I was looking into buying an iPhone or smartphone of some sort, but don't want the data plan. Can I get a smartphone or iPhone without the data plan and just normal service?

AT&T GoPhone plan does not require a data plan, you can activate a smart phone on a basic gophone plan. However, if you don't turn data off at the carrier level, you will get a per use charge for data.
IT is not how the phone and service is expected to work, yet it can and does. If it works on AT&TA, it will probably work on Verizon also.
I will repeat, this is not how it is designed to work.
