Why is the ios7 draining my battery by 50% after three hours when i havent used it?

My iphone 5 has been updated to ios7,
the battery life if appauling, i have lost 50% of the battery over three hours when i havent even used it,
i also am unable to delete my open apps?
the apps keep freezing when i do use it,
This is ridiculous i am really annoyed with this update as i am unable to use my phone or it will die seconds later!

Well, you could start by searching the forum. You might then find this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3391947?tstart=0, a thread with over a million views and over ten thousand posts, discussing this very subject.
But the short answer is you have an app that is using data and power. If you have an Exchange account it might be email if you get a lot of messages. If you have the FaceBook app it is almost certainly that. Exiting out of apps does not necessarily kill the background process if they are built in apps (like mail, contacts and calendar, ping, genius, iTunes). Other apps can re-launch their background tasks if they are set to receive notifications and the receive one.

HT204088 why do i keep getting charged on my credit card for itunes when i havent used it

Why do i keep getting charged for stuff on itunes when i havent purchased any thing in a while

You've checked the purchase history on your account, as per the page that you posted from, does anything show ? If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
If nothing shows on your account, and you haven't got any auto-renewing subscriptions and you've only got the one account, then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they know where the charges are coming from : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption. But if nothing shows on your account then you may also want to contact your card issuer.

Why does the light on my battery charger change from green to orange after a few seconds?

Why does the light on my battery charger cable change from green to orange? The battery continues to accept a charge when light turns orange.

Green = not charging.
Orange = charging.
Note that if your laptop is pulling enough power (using CPU and GPU heavily) the light will turn green because the power adapter cannot provide enough power to charge your batteries in addition to keeping the system going.
In fact, you can drain your batteries even with the adapter plugged in with the 17 inch Macbook Pro if you push it hard enough, although I have not noticed this problem with my Retina Macbook Pro.

Why does the menu option change to "save as" after I select the print button?

why does the menu option change to "save as" after I select the print button?

>>The print command is selected in the File pull down menu, the print menu page pops up, I can then select my networked printer (which incidentally is confirmed to work with other software), the print command is in the bottom right hand corner and finally after depressing this print button a "save as" pop-up menu appears and then it only re-saves the file. Is this an issue with the pdf reader install?

Once you've signed in the first time, don't sign out and you'll never be prompted again.

Why wont the contextual menu for imovie appear even after I've turned on advanced tools?

why wont the contextual menu for imovie appear even after I've turned on advanced tools?

Hi
And You are doing it right
• draging a clip ontop of other clip in Project - or -
• ctrl-click on clip in Project
If it's not that - then my wild Guess is that the iMovie Pref file got corrupted.
• TEST - Easy by creating a new User Account / Log into this / re-try iMovie - if it now works then I would trash the pref. file

iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.2

Hi, did you ever solve this problem?
My 1 year old -- ha! one month out of warranty -- iPhone 4 has been having a nearly identical problem over the past few days.
It started by dying completely so I had the battery replaced, thinking it was simply battery issue.
It then worked again for a moment but started doing exactly what you describe, going through a reset cycle (longer than 30 seconds but who's counting). And it felt quite warm.
Did hard reset, plugged into wall charger and MBP USB but the new battery wouldn't even get a full charge (a whopping 92% after nearly two days). It would even lose battery when plugged in if I opened an app. And all the while plugged in, if I left the phone on, it would cycle through these resets. So I turned it off to try to charge it.
Now suddenly, it's dead again. Totally black, and hard reset does nothing. Up until two days ago there was nothing wrong whatsoever with this phone! And I hadn't even installed a new app that could be the root of the issue. No idea whatsoever what caused this.
Any help would be much appreciated!!

That message is usually due to a bad cable.

You need to plug the iPad into your computer that has iTunes installed on it, and activate it.
The User Guide would be good for you to read:

What is the difference between saving to "Documents" and "Macintosh HD" and when should you use each one?*

What is the difference between saving to "Documents" and "Macintosh HD" and when should you use each one?

When you save to the folder with the little house icon, the file is placed at
/Users/your_user_name/
You would really have to go out of my way to save at:
(the shortcut for the Boot Drive, regardless of its name).
I am not sure how you decided that Time Machine is not saving your files. The default is for Time Machine to do incremental Backups of everything on all attached drives, except for certain temporary information in Cache files. If you have four Users, Time Machine will back them all up.
Looking at the raw Time Machine backups will tell you very little, because it does lots of its work with Hard Links, and because it does incremental backups, so only files that changed since the last Backup are saved at thet cycle. The way to determine whether Time Machine is saving things is to display the window you care about in the Finder, then invoke the "Star wars"/ "Back, back, back in time" Interface.

Why is the power draining from my iPad?

for no reason, my iPad is losing power very quickly in the space of a few hours. any ideas why?

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. 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. Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger. Do NOT use a computer's USB port. 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 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. If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
Also, 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.
