When Photo Frame is running, iPad battery discharges
... And that surely ain't right, right?
I have a new iPad (3rd gen, 64gb model) and I sync *ALL* my photos to it. But if I place it on the dock and put the Photo Frame on, it starts to lose battery. I can see it go from 100%, down and down and down by a percentage point every 5 minutes or so. If left, it would eventually discharge completely.
I am running this iPad on an official Apple 10w charger, not something underpowered. So, the question is:
(Or questions are)
Is this a fault (I suspect yes)
Is there something I can do to remedy this?
Any thoughts appreciated. Otherwise it might be a trip to the Apple store to see a genius (and possibly get an exchange?)
So, no further responses to this, but I have heard anecdotally that this has happened to other people.
But thinking of the logic here:
- A function of the device is to behave like a digital photo frame.
- A photo frame typically is left on continuously so that pictures get seen at all times
- For pictures to be on at all times, it must be charging
BUT
- The retina screen needs too much power to be lit *AND* display photos, thus making a mockery of previous 3 points.
It just doesn't make sense to me. If you *know* that the device is not capable of delivering a piece of functionality like this, you disable it, or you warn against its use or you re-engineer it until it works. None of which happened.

TS3274 iPad battery discharges quickly
My iPad battery doesn't stay charged very long.
The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A." The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC. Do NOT use an iPhone charger. Do NOT use an iPod charger. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter..
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge. -

HP Pavilion dv6-3050tx Overheating while Running Over Battery
I have an hp pavilion dv6-3050tx, Running Windows-7 64 bit. Few days back I had changed my battery as my earlier battery was not able to provide backup more than 5min. But after inserting the new battery I am facing a problem.
When I unplug the charger, after some time my pc get hibernated, and when I again turn it on it shows following massage
"The system bios has detected your notebook PC was placed in hibernation to avoid overheating.
The system is now operating normally and your data should remain intact.
Overheating may occur if the cooling vents are blocked or the operating temperature exceed the specification. The notebook PC should return to normal operation once the situation is resolved.
System Temperature (90D)"
I cleaned the fan and also applied thermal paste, but the problem is still there. And the main thing is, it happens only when the pc is running over battery, on Plug-in I have used my pc for 3-4 hours continuously and its running smoothly. But as soon as I unplugged the charger, the fan starts moving faster and soon after some time the pc automatically gets into hibernation due to overheating.
Again I am saying specifically that, this problem occurs only when the PC is running over battery. While Plug-in pc runs smoothly and properly.Hi
This wat you can try.. install the Bios update from

I've created a photo book in iphoto on my ipad. When I try to order it (by clicking the price of the book in the top right corner) it says that Your book contains empty photo frames - add photos to the empty frames, or change the page layout to include fewer photos" but when I look at each page, there are photos in all the frames. What do I need to do to order this book??????
Thanks so much for any help offered!It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.

IPad 2 discharging when plugged (10W)?
Since using my brand new iPad 2 over the last two weeks or so I have noticed on more than one occasion that using it while plugged into that 10W adapter (220V) will actually result in the battery percent going down.
For example today while using it (Safari, Maps, YouTube) it went from 99% down to 96% while being plugged all the time and, as I write this post on a laptop with the iPad LCD turned off it went back up to 97%.
The only times I have actually "seen" it recharging were when the display was turned off. As a comparison, the iPad 1 that we also use on a daily basis never discharged with plugged in.
This iPad 2 is running 4.3.2 with only WiFi turned on with a three bars reception quality. It does not have 3G. This discharging problem occurs without using any special power hungry applications such as Skype, FaceTime or 3D games.
I have fully turned off and back on the device a couple of times in hopes to "reset" the percent value or to kill potential uneeded backgoung processes but this did not bring any significant progress.
I thought I could use this iPad as a digital photo frame but this continuous discharging makes that use case impossible.
Anyone noticed the same problem?No, can't say I've experienced the battery discharging while connected to a wall outlet.
Same behavior while connect via USB to your computer, then you may want to take to an Apple store or Apple certified repair provider and have them check it out.

If you haven't done so, try a different wall outlet. -
I am trying to copy photos from a recent vacation to my iPad2. The process was straightforward using iTunes until recently. Now I am getting a message warning me that if I sync photos from the folder on my PC to iTunes and my iPad, photos already on the iPad (except ones taken by the iPad) will be removed. I am running iOS 8.0.2 and the most recent iTunes update. I do not want to remove all the other photos from my iPad, so I cancel the sync. I have tried copying the photos using the Apple SD card connector, but it does not recognize my SD card (it does recognize an SDHC card, but I am unable to copy the photos to that card). Is anyone else gettinga message like what I describe above when trying to sync photos to an iPad2 in iTunes?
It is really a very simple fix. Place ALL of the photos that you want to sync to the iPad into one photos folder and sync that folder to the iPad. In your case, place the next set of photos that you want to sync, into the folder with the first set of photos that you already synced to the iPad. You can only sync from one main photos folder and if you choose another folder that does not include the photos that you previously synced, those photos will be erased from the iPad - as you have now discovered.
You can sync one level of sub folders with the main photos folder. You can have as many sub folders as you want (as long as you have the storage space available on the iPad) but you can only sync from one main photos folder. After you place all of the photos into the one main folder, when you go to the Sync Photos From drop down menu in iTunes, select that main photos folder and all of the sub folders that you placed in there will appear and you can select each sub folder to sync as well. -
i have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version OS X 10.8.4
and it's not reading the files. I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them. when i go back into iphoto i'm getting the following message :
Do you want to switch the current iPhoto Library from “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” to “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” and relaunch iPhoto?
I don't know what to do - please help !!!!
can someone shed some light please ?So it appears you have only one library on the hard drive. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed to that library:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory. -
Battery discharging faster since ipad 3 upgrade why ?
since upgrading my ipad3 the battery discharges more quickly anyone else got this problem?
What did you upgrade? Should be the same. Have you checked your brightness setting?
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

I have just updated my 4s to IOS7. and now my battery discharge is significantly increase. With my Iphone fully charged, the battery run out within 6 hours without using the phone at all. Would it be possible to get the IOS 6.1.3 back to my 4S?
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
All of your help is much appreciated, thanks -
When doing a full battery discharge, how long to wait before recharge?
I use my 17" MBP as a desktop computer. Never need to travel anywhere with it, and never need to use it on battery. But I know that to maintain the health of the battery, it needs to be used. So I'd like to know the following:
1. Apple tech support informed me that when I fully discharge the battery, I should keep it in that fully discharged state for six hours before recharging it. This is quite inconvenient, as it requires careful planning to ensure one won't need the computer for six hours when the battery runs out. Which causes me to do full discharges less frequently than perhaps I should. Does one really need to wait six hours to get the benefit of the discharge? Or can one plug the power adapter in immediately when the discharge is complete, so as to be able to keep using the computer?
2. Some Apple staff say one should ALWAYS use the computer on battery. And only use the power adapter as a battery charger-- i.e. don't use the power adapter routinely to power the computer. Only plug in the adapter when you need to charge the battery. Is this true?Thanks to both of you.
@eww: Yes, there was another question in my mind which both you as well as the thread you referenced, address: the need to use the battery frequently but lightly. This is a new concept for me, and I did not get guided at all in this direction by the tech support staff at apple. So reading the info you've given and referenced, it sounds like the best usage is frequent, partial use of battery. And recharging each time, before it is fully discharged. With full discharge and recalibration only once every 2-3 months.
Two different tech support people at Apple told me that whenever I do use the battery, I should use it all the way down. Do not do partial usage. And it was one of the tech support staff in the Apple Store in Annapolis MD, who told me that I should ALWAYS use the battery. There was no misunderstanding; I spoke to him for about regarding related points on battery usage. And if you ask the tech support staff how often calibration should be done, you'll get different answers every time. One told me every week, another told me every month, another said he wasn't certain what the best schedule was.
If you still have access to free tech support, do an experiment-- call the tech support line 4 or 5 times, and ask the same question each time: optimal strategies for battery maintenance, for someone using a MBP as a desktop. I did this 5-6 times in attempt to find out the best approach, and got different answers every time. And NONE of the staff gave type or detail of information which was provided in the reference you gave.
So thank you very much for your help. You have made the matter really clear! -
When post photos by facebook on ipad then could not post some photes in same time
Dear apple,
Plese improve when post photos by facebook on ipad is same as on iphone , it is mean user can post a lot of photos in same timeHi Christian
I feel your pain. You need better advice than this but maybe this will help keep the thread open. You probably have down everything on HT3085 maintenance but never hurts to do it again. You said once only AP was open and it crashed but check you loggin Daemons at startup. Try eliminating the ones you dont need and turn off Carbonite while trying. And of course try another Library and see if the problem exits. And use a new login account (thanks Leonie). Make sure your read/write permisions have not changed on the Drobo 5d and its in HFS+ formate. Your images (referenceed) can be on the Drobo directly connected to your imac but not the database of the Lib, it dosent like nas or ___. You say it happens only in AP when Repairing an image or it also happens outside of Aperture, that is AP is not open you still crash. Do you have another monitor attached to the imac when hangs occur. How much Ram and what percentage of empty HD space do you have. Stay positive, from what I hear most poeple run smoothly, so this too can be fixed. David -
When my iPad battery goes below 75% or so Safari stops browsing
When my iPad battery goes below 75% or so Safari stops browsing the Web on 3G and displays a "Server not responding" message. Charging the iPad fixes the problem temporarily. Any idea?
First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help try letting the iPad run down the battery until it shuts off on its own. Then plug in the wall charger and recharge. If that doesn't help it might be time for a trip to Apple Service. -
