Where did the sleep timer go in IOS 5? It's been changed to "stop playing"

When previously using the sleep timer, I would set a time and then choose for the device to "sleep" at the end of the time. Now the choice has been changed to "Stop Playing." This is a huge problem because it does not sleep the device; it only stops the music from playing. Because the music app continues to run, battery life is profoundly shortened. I verified this at the Genius Bar when I noticed my battery life dropped from several hours per charge to about 1.5 hours. Can a sleep timer be used in some other manner now?

What was the answer when you asked at the Genius Bar?

  • Where did the 'Sleep Timer' setting go?

    I know this seems like a bit of a silly question, BUT:
    I frequently fall asleep listening to my iPod. I've had 3 other iPods (1st and 2nd gen) which had sleep timers built in as a function on the menu. I could hook the ipod up to speakers in my bedroom, set the sleep timer, and drift off to music or books. With my new 5th gen iPod, however, I cannot find a sleep timer function anywhere. I purchased an iHome, so I can use the sleep timer function at home, but when I travel I either cannot use the iPod in this way, or have to leave the iPod running (and playing) all night long, which then actually wakes me up from sleep later in the night. Can anyone tell me if there is a sleep timer function on the 5th gen iPods, and if so, how do I activate it?
    thanks

    Okay, DUH, I answered my own question. It was under the 'clock' function; I never bothered to set the clock as I was used to having the battery drain problem that occurred when the clock was set on the 1st and 2nd generation iPods. Now I know!

  • Where did the current-time-line go in Calender?

    I can't find the line that says what the current time is in Calender.. Is there any way to put it or get it back in? IMO it was one of the features why Calender was a really good app. It looks like Apple just forgot to put it in... Is this going to be updated.
    Should look something like this;(like we had before)

    I can’t tell you what’s causing it, but it is working fine here. The line is red and moves with the current time. But it is only visible when you are in the current week. If I move to the prior or next week it won’t show.

  • Where did the "sleep" button go?

    I turned my iPod the other day and noticed that the menu had changed and I can no longer send my iPod to sleep when I am done listening to music. The option has vanished. I tried updating the software, resetting the iPod, with no better luck. Any thoughts?

    If you go to SETTINGS > MAIN MENU and set the SLEEP to ON, it will come back.
    Cheers!

  • HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 551dn - where did the drivers go?

    I go to the download page to download the drivers for this 551dn.  I download all windows 7, 8, 8.1, 2008, 2012, so that i can put them on my print server.  I downloaded them from here..
    <http>//h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=5081348&lang=en&lang=en&cc=lamerica_n...
    when i get the file, lets say for windows 7/64bit, i choose...
    HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color M551 Printer Series PCL6 Print Driver (no Installer) 61.130.04.12834
    24 Sep 2014 21.3
    I get the file downloaded (LJEnt-color-M551-Drv-no-installer_12297.exe), i run it, get the security warning and Run.  the file extracts - then POOF, the installer is gone.
    where did the files go?  They aren't on the root of the C: drive, a folder/files were not created on my desktop, no files or folder created in my downloads folder.
    I was never asked for a file save location.... ???  really?   is this this basic stuff? 
    Where are the files?  this $$$ printer is a brick until i get drivers! 
    Thanks!
    Jason
    UPDATE- I FOUND THE FILES!!
    First of all, HP... i'm not impressed.
    All the files for all the drivers are in a series of temp folders...
    C:\Users\-myusername-\AppData\Local\Temp\3\7zS4A73
    really?
    hope this helps someone. 

    There is no change to this problem after 6 months since the last post. Put simply, and as stated in the previous posts, there is no way to scan a document and receive the image on your PC. If you are working with graphics for any length of time or want to create an image for inclusion as an image in a document or web page using this piece of equipment will not allow you to do so.
    Great shame as every other function works well - it cannot be beyond the wit of HP to include a Windows application that enables you to scan an image, receive it in the software you are using at the time (e.g. Outlook, Word, Photoshop...) and use it in your work.
    HP Printers several years older than this £1000+ Enterprise printer were able to do this simple job and have done so for a great many years. Just being able to use Microsoft's Fax and Scan would be start.

  • Where did the Stream 7 drivers go?

    The support page for downloading drivers for the HP Stream 7 tablet (any model) has disappeared from the HP website.
    Navigating to the HP Stream 7 support page, Selecting "Software and Drivers", then "Go directly to software and drivers page", Operating System "Windows", then Version "Windows 8.1" (the only choices), then clicking the Update button, gives a message "No software or drivers are available for this product with the selected operating system. Please make a different selection, or visit the product homepage. " This happens using Firefox, IE 11, or Chrome.
    These drivers have been missing for at least a few weeks, and multiple forum users have also had no luck finding them. Before that time the drivers seemed to come and go randomly, but they've stayed missing now for weeks.  One dorum user has posted direct FTP links to the drivers, and they might be the latest version, but not really sure.
    Where did the drivers go, HP?

    This is for the 5701 as of a few days ago.

    Hey linfrommi,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble locating some application after the update to iOS 7. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s reset the home screen layout of your iPhone, which should move all of your applications to the second “page”:
    Reset iPhone settings - iPhone

  • Timer option changed to 'Stop Playing' from 'Sleep iphone'. Any idea on how to get the Sleep ipone.

    In the iPhone 4S under the Timer, for the Option, When 'Timer Ends' it used to be a 'Sleep iphone'. After the iOS 5.1 update, I think, it is now changed to 'Stop Playing', which only stops the Music. Any idea how to - put the phone to Sleep mode.

    Thanks again Norman.
    I desperately set about checking the option you provided, but good to know that you have noticed the same thing.
    Yes we might need to wait for the update from Apple, but I am not sure how will this be noticed and acted upon.
    The sleep option was very good to have, because it took care of the other apps for streaming music etc, and would stop all of them. Would you suggest anyway of raising it to the Support people?

  • My iphone says I have 331 songs but only 139 can be played...where did the others go? How to get them back?

    The songs disappeared from two computers and are grayed in on my iphone...I cannot play 192 songs...how to get them back or how to delete them from my phone so I can start over?  I do not want icloud...I synced my phone to the computer and everything was fine for awhile...where did the songs go?

    Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.

  • 18 Clicks to set the sleep timer

    It takes me as many as 18 clicks of "Menu" on the scroll wheel, to go from a song window to set a sleep timer and back again. 6 from the song back to the Main Menu, 6 to set the sleep timer and back to the Main Menu (plus rotating the scroll wheel to set the time), and 6 to get back to the song window (I know could just let it snap back but that is not useful if I want to navigate more.)
    Is there an easier way to regularly set a "stop play timer"?
    I had hoped with newer Nano operating systems, Apple would have made the sleep timer (a "Stop Play Timer") setup like the Alarm Clock. If that were the case, then one could set the default state to always stop playing after a preset number of minutes. (A variable time setting would be preferable.)
    If preset to 20 minutes, then every time I play the nano (hit the play section of the scroll wheel), the Nano would play for 20 minutes and stop. Alternately I could leave this in the "Off" state and the Nano would play straight through (as is the current default).
    This would save battery life when the Nano is accidently activated. Most people I know do not routinely set the hold button and have accidently activated and undesirably depleted the battery.
    I could see many other times this would conserve battery life.
    This would be especially useful when listening to spoken word files. I currently make multiple folders with less files in them as a workaround.
    Most important, I would not need to navigate the menu sub-windows to set this.
    Thus if setting this while somewhat asleep, one click and done.
    Currently I often end up not setting the timer which can be terrifically annoying, and battery wasteful. And take much time to navigate back to where I suppose I left off listening last prior to dozing or being distracted.

    My Nano must be different than yours. On my unit, when I select that sleep function from the main menu, it puts the unit to sleep. It does not bring up the sleep timer. Are we talking about the same thing? Does yours bring up the sleep timer?
    I find that sleep item to be a waste in that I hold the play button a few seconds when I want to put the iPod down. To bad that sleep function with the capacity to be set to "On" isn't a default play mode of a sleep timer.
    For now, I have put the Clock in the main menu which saves a click and a scroll.
    But still no default play mode of sleep timer.

    Checking the basics:  For web forms, you must tap in the form field to bring up the keyboard.

  • ITunes9: where did the 3-column browser go ?!

    Hello there:
    Just installed the new iTunes 9, and I am shocked: where did the 3-column browser go? Did they really remove it, and replaced it with only the one Artists column on the left side? This cannot be serious, surely you would not remove one of the most innovative user interface of the past years?
    How do I select quickly the music genres I want to listen to? (and no, Play Lists is not the answer!). I used to do a quick shift-click or command-click, depending on my mood, and click play. Very fast and very convenient.
    Since when are we removing features from a software when upgrading it?...
    Yann - really upset about this!

    Gabhan, I second your frustration. Locally set "on top" selections (on my laptop) are preserved, but "on top" settings for remote collections (e.g., my desktop) never are. For those of us who prefer the "on top" column browser, iTunes 9 is suddenly a LOT more "fiddly" than earlier versions.
    To significantly alter existing behavior, change application-wide defaults, and not give the user the ability to override that default, sure feels like a bug. I think "this is buggy software" every single time I have to manually set that value.

  • Disable 24-bit crystalizer... and where did the snap/crackle/pop

    For the longest time, I thought the crackling and popping was because of the CMSS3D Headphone option being enabled, but just for kicks, I tried disabling the 24-bit crystalizer, and poof! Where did the snap/crackle/pop go? It seems to be gone! I can li've without the crystalizer, after all there is really no way to make something sound better than the source. This gives me hope that it is a driver issue after all. I have a Rev A fatalty.

    It is still there... you cant just hear it as good anymore.. i never have crystalizer on, i still got my rice crispies. So good if you dont hear it anymore.. but i know this wont fix it for many of us. I can agree that if i have cmss3d enabled but have MacroFX and Elevation Filter off, the pops& crackles are lower in volume.

  • Is the sleep timer still available on the iPhone?

    After the latest update the sleep timer seems to have vanished from the iPhone version of this app, although it's still there on the iPad. Has it gone or am I just being stupid and not being able to work out where it has moved to?

    Just realised that might not have been very clear, I mean the sleep option on the podcast app, not the general sleep option in the overall iPhone settings.  There used to be a option to set the podcast app to go off aft the end of the current podcast or aft a set time. That option seems to have disappeared from the iPhone version of the app, though as I say it's still there on the iPad version
