What is the life expectancy of M

My 3 year old MuVo N200 has been experiencing difficulties over the last month or so. Currently, the display screen displays only the Creative logo. I know that there is music loaded on there, but that does not play either. I have already tried replacing batteries. I believe that I have all of the most recent downloads. Could the problems be related to the end of the life of this product?

There is a chance that the hardware has become defecti've, however it is more likely that the firmware in the player has become corrupted. Try reloading the firmware. This might solve the problem. Back up all the files on the player to your pc before reloading the firmware, as reloading the firmware will delete what is in the player's memory. The n200 is listed on Creative's download page as the Muvo Micro.Message Edited by JK23 on 02--200807:36 PM

What is the life expectancy of an airport express?

My guess.....3-4 years would be about average based on forum experience.
I have one that is 6 years old...been running almost 24/7, and have had one fail that was less than 6 weeks old, so averages won't tell you much since any electronic component can fail at any time.
Is something wrong with your Express?

What is the life expectancy of the older base stations (flying saucer/spaceship looking one) and what are the telltale connection signs that it's starting to go?
Apple has never published any life expectancy specifications for any of their routers (or desktops/laptops) that I am aware of. As a rule of thumb, I would consider two years for any consumer electronics that operates 24 x 7 to be a reasonable period. Obviously some experience more or less and it would depend on a number of factors: ambient temperature, electrical circuit stability, area prone to lightening strikes, etc.
Some telltale signs that an AirPort has (or is about to fail):
Status lights are not illuminated or do not match any of the known configurations.
Unit feels cool to the touch after power is applied even after a lengthly (15-30 minutes) period of time.
Unit refuses to intialize, even after performing multiple "factory default" resets.
Weak or no wireless signal.
Ethernet port(s) not functioning
Etc.
Also, are there any compatiility issues with newer models and G5/G4s?
Three potential issues:
Depending on the version of OS X you are running on these clients, they may not be able to support the latest AirPort Utility required to administer the latest AirPorts. OS X 10.5.7 is the minimum required.
Support for 802.11n connectivity. Most G5 or G4 Apples support 802.11g, some only 802.11b.
Support for WPA2. Not supported if the G5 or G4 is equipped with the Original AirPort Card.

What is the life expectancy of the Bionic?

I'm not really looking for an answer to that question, just pondering! I purchased the Bionic November 2011 and within in the past few weeks I am having hardware problems (along with 4G connectivity). I am very easy on the phone and it is handled with care.The microphone went out and I received my "like new" replacement that came with a long scratch on the screen and the speaker (ear) made an annoying buzzing sound that would not stop!
So, my second "like new" replacement arrived a few days later and...tada...it will not power up! And no it is not just me...the same problem happened at the Verizon store. I will receive my 3rd "like new' replacement within a 2 week span. I am so tired of having to reinstall apps, accounts and the list goes on.
Anyone else having problems?
Despite the lack of love Verizon gives to the Bionic owners, I continue to love my Bionic (when it works)! And hope that I actually receive a "like new" replacement tomorrow. (And I must say that the customer service/tech support on the telephone have been wonderful)
Is my luck really that bad or is the Bionic nearing its last days? We shall see!

I was wondering how long the actual device is made to last...the battery life for me has been about 4 hours for me. My last Droid lasted about a a year and half before the hardware started failing. Years ago phones lasted several years before falling apart. I'm just curious to see if I am the only one with problems or is the Bionic known to have issues. But after receiving all of the replacement phones that are inoperable I'm beginning to think the Bionic is a dyeing breed.
Thanks for the suggestion...I had not thought about contacting Motorola directly. I did receive the 3rd replacement phone and it too is inoperable. The folks in the store had no idea how to get it do anything. All they can do is send me another replacement phone.

What's the life expectancy for airport express

My wi-fi signal from my airport express seems to be getting weaker every month for about 3 months now.
Is that the ap express or something else?

The signal that you are getting is on the low side. If you are within 10-15 feet of the Express, it should look more like 60-65%. Noise is about average. Any obstructions in the signal path?
It's more complicated, but also more accurate to use SNR measurements to get an idea of signal quality. Post back if you want more info about this.
"Automatic" is usually your best choice since the Express will scan available channels and pick the best one. But, it won't do this "automatically". You have to pull the power on the device and restart it for it to perform a new scan. You may find yourself needing to do this daily. In a tough interference area, that is not unusual.
You can certainly experiment with setting the channels manually, but which channel to choose? Utilities like iStumbler will not display "closed" or "hidden" networks....and a lot of users make use of this feature to "hide" their network....so if iStumber "sees" 7-8 networks, there are others....probably another 4-5 at least.....that iStumber cannot "see", so no way to know what channel they are using.
iStumber cannot "see" cordless phones or wireless security systems as well, so it's really more of a guessing game than a logical approach to choosing the "right" channel.
If all of your devices can connect using 5 GHz, there are only a fraction of wireless networks using that band...for now...so there are far fewer interference issues in this airspace.
The Apple Store can certainly test your AirPort Express....but you already know what will likely happen if you take it to them....it will perform perfectly there.
Move the Express as far away as possible from anything else that is electronic and also away from any wiring from the satellite box or cable box...that can cause issues as well. Turn off the cordless phones for a few hours....if you have them....to see if that might make a difference.

What is the life expectancy of LocalDB?

We are considering the use of LocalDB to replace Access as a data store for our 64-bit application. We use ODBC and stored procedures, so SQL CE won't work.
Does Microsoft plan to support LocalDB as an ongoing tool? We don't want to add support for a new database and then have to re-write it in a few years.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Ben Boronow,
Microsoft SQL Server Express LocalDB is an execution mode of SQL Server Express targeted to program developers. SQL Serve Express is free version, about the support Lifecycle, it depends on different
version. For example, SQL Server 2000 was out of support since April,2003. If you have any questions regarding support for a product, please contact your Microsoft representative. If you install SQL Server 2014 Express, you can use it some year freely.
There is an detail about Microsoft Support Lifecycle, you can review the following link.

Whats the life expectancy of an i pad2

whats the life expectancy of an i pad2 ?

You can expect two years, as Apple will sell you a warranty extension (AppleCare) that'll extend the one year warranty to two. :-)
Odds are good it will last quite a while longer, but it's reasonable to expect 2-3 years. My rule of thumb is that by year three I definitely want a newer version even if I don't need it.
And, keep in mind that there is always a robust market for used Apple gear.

Any way to measure the life expectancy of a PRAM battery?

Is there any way to measure the life expectancy of the PRAM battery through software? Or must one open the case to determine the left over charge? I have an iMac 5,1 that thus far is doing well. But I am well aware the age suggests the PRAM battery may go soon, and I will have a two week period soon where I won't be accessing it, having to leave it off.

I'd love to know if there is something out there to do this. Just spent a few minutes searching and was only able to find something years out of date for the old 1/2 AA G3 PRAM battery, that only works in OS 9.
The best I've seen is to disable automatic time updating, shut down and unplug for several hours, and see if the clock is still on time when you reconnect to power. This seems very imprecise, to say the least, and you will be draining more power from the battery while it's off wall power.
Of course, you can always take it out and measure it with a volt meter, but it would be insane to go through all that just to measure it and put the same one back.
I think the life expectancy of one of the CR2032s, the lithium button battery which I'm supposing your early Intel, circa 2006, uses is around five years.
If this is your model, replacement doesn't look all that painful. My late 2009 21.5 is a total nightmare with 35 steps. Keeps on going even after the logic board is out. Why Apple puts what should be a user replaceable item in such an inaccessible place -- and getting more inaccessible with each new model -- I have no idea. I guess you're just supposed to throw out the computer when the battery dies.

I have no idea except it should be many years.. However, you should almost fully discharge the battery monthly to maximize the battery life in in the eventwant to use it on the battery.

What is the battery expectancy for late 2009 13-inch macbook pro

I have a 13-inch, Mid 2009 Macbook pro and it seems that the battery has been draining quite fast. It was ast 85% charge about 30 minutes ago and now it's down to 24%. Is this typical for "normal wear" usage? or could this be a battery issue?

Yes and No. It all depends on many factors.
Age of battery, yours is 3+ (going on 4) years old.
Use of battery, how many cycles does it have.
Usage habbits, whether you are in the habbit of draining the battery down to the point the system almost shuts off or does shut off, neither is good for the battery. Leaving it connected to the AC all the time. There is a system included to drain the battery and recharge it. But it doesn't do it enough or starts the recharge at to high a percentage creating a long term Short Cycle condition.
All batteries only last so long. 3+ years isn't bad and yours still works although it does lose it charge more rapidly, which is to be expected with age and use.
Even if you never really used it and it sat on a shelf eventually that battery would be no good. Li-ion batteries have a shelf life. Used or not used it will eventually fail to work.

What is the life of an Apple bluetooth keyboard

I.have.had.a.27ins.iMac.since.2009...the.keyboard.now,.has.several.faulty.keys.. .....(inc.the.space.bar)...
How.long.should.it.last.....no.spills.no.other.problems.
iMac/.27ins.2009.Snow.Leopard

That's around the same length of time I have had mine. I have now gone through all the solutions posted around the Net and still have non-functioning keys.
I don't know what else I can do except buy a new keyboard, but that seems a pretty poor solution to a problem which really should not arise in only three years of use - and no abuse from me. I wonder whether the Sale of Goods Act is applicable - one should be able to rely on a product functioning for a decent length of time. What that is in this case is probably open to many interpretations.
Apple products are not, it seems to me, above reproach. But,as they are, in my opinion, streets ahead of any others then I shall stick with it. Unfortunately I cannot afford to buy another Apple keyboard so will have to get by with a wired microsoft one for now, although it goes against the grain.
It seems a shame that, although this problem has been around for a while, Apple does not seem able - or willing - to solve it.
Either it is a hardware or a software problem and until it can be identified I am left wambling around in the dark - not a happy place to be.

What's the life span on a creative cloud redemption code before it's null and void ( or if that even occurs)

I have a redemption code ( creative suite ) purchased earlier this year ( a gift ) . How long do I have before I have to redeem it?

Scherenschnitte it can depend on the nature of the redemption code. If it is full a full membership then there is likely no specific expiration date. You can find more details at Redemption Code Help.
