Why does my iPad take forever to charge?

Why does my iPad 2 wi fi take forever to charge?

The quickest 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. 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 will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes.

Why does Time Machine take forever?

Just using Time Machine for the first time today. It's been running for nearly four and half hours, only displaying "Indexing backup..." with no progress indication at all. Does it really take this monumentally long the first time you use it?
Sorry if this question is redundant... I find the new Apple discussions board absolutely horrible to use... use to be super easy to search thru previous posts but it seems like the new search function can't find anything. (Another case of a company fixing something that wasn't broken and ruining it in the process.)

Yes. It must copy the entire contents of your hard drive to the backup. Are you backing up to a networked drive like a Time Capsule? If so, it will take even longer. Don't bother trying it without connecting via ethernet cable first. Event then it will take overnight. Subsequent backups are very small and will work fine over WiFi, even faster with a directly connected disk.

Apple doesn't bother trying to be everything to everyone. They make the best products they can in what they think is the best way. If you think that is horrible and broken, you are free to go elsewhere. Searching for this topic is definitely something I would consider super easty. I was quite familiar with the old system and the old search engine. It was profoundly broken and useless.

Why does a ringtone sync want to remove all my music and video

I downloaed an app to make a ringtone from my music on my iphone 4
I made the ringtone and got it onto the desktop of my laptop then into the itunes ringtones folder but if i try to then sync it onto the iphone i am prompted that it will remove all the music and video from the iphone.
What setting do i have here that won't allow me to add a ringtone sync without clearing my iphone?
If its not a setting how do i get around it?

Thanks very much
I've just realised what a nugget I've been for not just trying that last night.
I drag and drop all my music and video so why not drag and drop this also.
I would be merciless in my teasing of someone for this very thing so feel free to give it to me loads.

Why does the autocomplete take forever when addressing an email?

Orignal iPad. OS is current. It takes a long time for the email addres to show up after I type 4-5 characters. A lot slower than on iphone,, macbook and intel mac desktop. Used to be a lot faster.

Why does my iPhone take forever to turn on?

Recently my iPhone 4S (iOS 5.0.1) takes at least 10 minutes to power on after the battery dies. Sometimes up to 30 minutes. Any idea what could be causing this? Obviously I'll do a full restore if I have to, but trying to avoid that if possible. My phone is NOT jailbroken either. Thanks!

First, it is not good for the battery to run it into the ground -- don't do that often if you expect it to last. When this happens, the phone needs to build up enough charge to boot up safely, which probably explains the 10 minute delay.

Can't sync photos (sync takes forever) but can sync music videos and apps

I can only get my ipad to sync if I deselect the option to sync photos. If I try and sync my photo library (~5GB, 5000 photos) the sync hangs. Itunes is responsive, but doesn't show a progress bar, just the diagonal stripes moving.
I left the sync for 12 hours without any progress. If I change it to just sync one directory within my photo library (~50 photos) I get the same thing.
Everything else seems to be working fine. Syncing takes a small number of minutes, if that. I've no idea whether this is due to my ipad, itunes installation, or photo files. It seems unlikely to be storage related as the music and videos are all stored on the same drive as the photos.
Anyone got any thoughts?

Try syncing half the photos. If it fails again, sync the other half.
If the second half fails, try syncing just 5 photos.
The reason for this is there may be a bad photo file in the group of 5,000 and doing half at a time will tend to indicate that if one of the half's sync but the other doesn't.
The group of five will tend to test if there are multiple bad photo files.
If the sync is successful with a smaller set, you then need to try to find the discrepant photo file(s).

HT5262 why does my icloud back up take several hours

you could always try turning the phone off and starting the backup over again. If it's still happening, it's possible that it's related to the network you're in

When I try to use my iCloud backup it takes forever to backup and then sometimes it says unable to backup

When I try to use my iCloud backup it takes forever to backup and then sometimes it says unable to backup what do I do

If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test: Go to...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options. Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup. If that doesn't work, then this post will not help. If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup. If successful, keep repeating these steps. If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail. (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.
