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.

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. -

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 am having difficulty charging my iphone with the cable. Its been 1 yr since I bought the phone. Does the cable becomes useleless after a year. Whats the life span for the cable? It automatically gets disconnected and then get connected again.
That is shorter than normal. Any signs of wear? And you're sure it's the cable, not one of the pins in the iPhone's charging port?

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 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 of a MicroDrive in a Zen MicroPho
I use my player for about 40 hours per week, I was wondering what type of life I should expect.
ThanksTrue...for this question i'm not very sure as it's rather technical on the microdri've itself. All i know it may be using the same Seagate ST- -inch microdri've as the Zen Micro. Perhaps you can visit Seagate's website for the durability info of this microdri've.

My iPad2 will be 2 1/2 years old come the end of September of this year. We are leaving at that time on a combined six-week land/sea trip and I am concerned that the battery on my unit may exceed its life expectancy during this trip. If so, I will have no backup device along with me. I'm unable to find a good source of information as to what the life expectancy on the battery may be and I recognize that it can be highly user-dependent. Is there a source to provide me with some guidelines that would help me to determine if it would be prudent for me to replace the battery before we leave?
Chris, thanks for this. The battery at this point has shown no signs of degradation whatever but I am a belt and suspenders person. It sounds very much to me that buying a backup battery just to guard against the current battery going completely dead between now and November 9, 2013, would not necessarily be a good move. That is especially the case if I could not, in fact, use the battery backup just to keep me going.
Is there any way to measure the current capacity of the battery to take a charge that would allow me to predict what will happen between now and my return date. After we get back I'll be in a position to replace the battery with ease. -
I am looking to replace a two year old Dell laptop with an Apple Mac Book. I have replaced the hard drive in the Dell three time due to failure. What is the typical life expectancy of a hard drive in an Apple laptop?
The life expectancy of any hard drive is unrelated to the computer. Here's some things to consider:
Lower priced drives come with three year warranties while the more expensive "enterprise" models come with five year warranties. Apparently drive makers think that represents the expected lives of the drives or they would provide longer warranties.
Manufacturer data suggests the drives will last upwards of 100 years, but there's certainly no evidence that any of them ever have. Google did a study that showed nearly 30 percent of all drives in service at their server farms failed annually.
If you're lucky the drives last longer than you keep the computer. I've yet to have a drive failure before I replaced the drives for other reasons. So, I guess I'm lucky. -
Adobe FormsCentral RoadMap/Life Expectancy - Planning for Critical Business Use
Adobe FormsCentral is quite a nice little interface to use, however my worries lie in it functionality for businesses that may try to rely on it to record critical day to day movements.
I plan to commit some time to building such tools and love the ease of use with FormsCentral but I worry that what we have may be all we can expect because it is essentially built with a dying IP... Flash...
I would love to see a feature roadmap in order for me to make a stronger commitment to Adobe vs Formstack - I would eventually have 35+ users in one building alone subscribing to adobe but Formstack seems to be the way to go (viewing results on both iOS and Android devices etc).
Is there a roadmap to at least guarantee the life expectancy of Forms Central?
Is there something more concrete we can look forward to as far as mobile technology goes?
Our business operates on a mixture of both Apple and Microsoft machines and iOS/Android mobile devices - Me, I have more OS X/iOS device than i do windows/android.
If I had of known about Formstack, I probably would've gone with that before he adobe product as the features are more promising - Any feedback would be great!
Thanks!!!Hi Colin,
We'll try and answer your technology and roadmap questions
the best we can, but as you probably already know, as a corporate
policy, Adobe does not publicly disclose timing, dates, etc.
If you have specific questions regarding scaling, features,
etc. (such as the topic on recordings which was posted a little
while back), let us know.
Regards,
Fang
