WIll AirPlay drain my battery rapidly?

Hi, I just got a third generation Apple TV for Christmas, but I have one question:
Will AirPlay drain my iPhone/iPad/Mac battery?
Common sense tells me that streaming content from my device to my Apple TV will induce some battery drain, but will it very rapid?
Thanks!

  • If I use my bluetooth mouse with my MacBook Pro will it drain more battery?

    Bluetooth mouse (Razer Orochi) paired with MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Will it drain my battery drastically?

    Not drastically but wil use at the minimum around 30 mins of battery life.....Depending how much you're using your mouse....

  • If I have a large photo as my lock screen and home screen will it drain the battery faster than if it were a smaller image?

    If I have a high resolution / large sized image set as my lockscreen / homescreen will that effect the battery life of my iPhone 4S?

    I do not believe so. Either way, the display of your iPhone is just showing a picture as a wallpaper, if you had no wallpaper or just a black or white one, your phone would still be displaying something (the pixels are still on). Your pixels don't know what they are displaying, so your phone is still using the same amount of battery. Hope this helps!

  • Will AirPlay use Battery when not in use?

    Hi everyone,
    i'm pretty new in the Apple Universe (Aug 2012) and...well enjoying it :-)
    One thing i was not able to find an answer to is if AirPlay will drain more Battery from iPad and iPhone when activated even if nothing ist streamed or mirrored?!
    All the Devices show the AirPlay Icon, so somethings must be looking out for an Apple TV, right? Will this effect Batterylife or just when used?
    I admit it must sound stupid to ask such think but im not just new in Apple-World but also curious :-)
    Best Regard

    Was the computer turned off or asleep? It won't hurt to have it taken off. Normally I wouldn't worry about it unless it was going to be a few more months.

  • What is the normal amount of GB of Other Space for a new 32 GB Ipod touch 5 Generation with iOS 6.1.3? Also, will iOS 7 slow down/drain the battery of my device?

    My Other storage space was at 2.84 GB after i loaded all my music/apps onto a recently purchased 32 GB Ipod touch 5 Generation with iOS 6.1.3.  Resetting the settings and removing the music and apps did not help reduce the Other space.  I restored to a backup and got my Other storage space down to almost 400 MB.  When I started syncing music it grew 500-ish MB.  Each time I sync, the Other grows a bit more.  This is really irritating.
    The official listed available GB on my 32 GB is 28.22 GB (not including Other), so now I am irritated knowing that this Other is taking up my space when I didn't even have 32 GB of free space to begin with. So 28.22 - 2.84GB = 25.38 GB.
    I want to restore to a new device to see if that helps, but do not want to upgrade to i0S7.  Is there any way to do this?
    If I upgrade to i0S 7 I am worried it might slow my ipod or drain the battery faster.  Will it do that?  The ipod is expensive and I dont want it to go downhill and obsolete on me because it can't handle a better operating system. 

    Less than 1 1/5 GB is normal. It does grow with time.

  • Does it matter if the lightning cable is plugged in but not connected to an electrical outlet? Will this drain the ipad battery?

    Does it matter if the lightning cable is plugged in but not connected to an electrical outlet? Will this drain the ipad battery? We use an ipad cart at school, and some of the teachers will connect all the ipads up to the cart, but then neglect to power up the cart. The laptop with the cart has already had the battery wrecked because of this (within a two month period), and I am concerned the ipads may have an issue if this continues to happen. I need some reassurance before I make the other teachers paranoid!

    ok this one is kind in the gray area for me. I say if it is plugged in to a power up cart but not plugged in to a outlet, then all is is doing is not charing, and of course lossing a charge over time in standby, not really causing any issues. User guide and apple sites say it will drain the battery life.
    Important: The iPad battery may drain instead of charge if iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, to a USB hub, or to the USB port on a keyboard.
    however “Battery life” means the time your iPad will run before it must be recharged.
    so I think it will be ok, as long as you charge it as usaul it should be fine.
    just use these links for and understanding for batteries and the ipad, of course the user guide.

  • Will a 7200rpm drive drain my battery a lot?

    Hi,
    I'm changing my MBP 15" Mid 2010 models hard drive to either a 750gb 7200rpm or a 1TB 5200rpm drive.
    What i wanted to know is will i notice a significant battery drain with the 7200 drive? I heard because the drive reads faster it can drain the battery a bit quicker.
    If so, are we talking an hour or 15mins etc?
    I use my mbp for music making on the move and for DJ'ing.
    Thanks for any help and advice.

    What are you doing that you think is slow?
    A faster drive will make apps load a little faster. But going to a 7200rpm drive will also lower your battery life and create more heat.
    I've noticed marginal improvements. Helps a little with some of the benchmarking tools.
    The noise, heat, and power are very much dependent on the vintage/technology of the drive. Some recent 7200 RPM drives are comparable (even better sometimes) to older 5400 RPM drives when it comes to power, noise, and heat. I've yet to encounter any problems. My Hitachi Travelstar 7K200 has been a stellar performer. It might mean about 5-10 minutes less battery life than the OEM drive, but I run it off the adapter most of the time anyways.
    Given the model of the original poster (late 2006 Core 2 Duo) I'd venture that a recent 7200 RPM drive could be comparable to the factory drive in terms of power consumption, noise level, and heat output. Check out specs and comparison shop.

  • When streaming is it better to use the wall outlet for source of power or will that eventually drain the battery?

    when streaming is it better to use the wall outlet for source of power or will that eventually drain the battery?

    Best to use wall power to keep the battery from draining.  You can do either of course but will have a limited time on battery.

  • I have a hung up app that will not update or delete that drains the battery. How do you fix this?

    I chose to update a app. It says waiting under the apps icon but will not update. I click on it to pause the update but it still drains the battery. I try to delete the app but it won't let me. What can I do?

    Try the power off. Press home button and the on/off button at the same time for a few seconds. Then slide the tab to power off.
    Then press the on/off again after a few seconds. Once it powers on fully, tap and hold on the application to see if it will start wobbling with a x on the corner, if yes, delete it.
    If no, wait for someone else to suggest a better idea.

  • My backlight will not turn off automatically.  I have to manually turn it off and forget to sometimes and that drains my battery.  Does anyone know how to make it turn of automatically after a few seconds?

    My backlight will not turn off automatically.  I have to manually turn it off and forget to sometimes and that drains my battery.  Does anyone know how to make it turn of automatically after a few seconds?

    Use the Settings app.
    Settings > General > Auto Lock
    Is Auto Lock set to Never? Change it to less time.

  • My iPad will not power down.  It automatically restarts and drains the battery because it is on all the time.

    My IPad will not power down and stay off.  It powers down and then restarts after a few seconds.  Since it is on all of the time, it drains the battery between uses.

    Then I think it is time to take to an Apple store to be checked. Make an appointment at your closest store. You can keep it plugged in to maintain the battery until you get it checked.

  • I was wondering if it's okay to play intensive games while my Macbook air is Plugged it? Will it compromise my battery life?

    It would be swell to have some feedbacks

    thats exactly what you DO want to do,    Play games ON power cord so youre not rapid draining the battery which is hard on it.
    Gaming ON battery is what will stress the battery.
    See B below
    If the massive amount of data that exists on lithium batteries were to be condensed into a simplex, helpful, and memorable bit of information it would be:
    1. While realistically a bit impractical during normal everyday use, a lithium battery's longevity and its chemistry's health is most happy swinging back and forth between 20% and 85% charge roughly.
    2. Do not purposefully drain your battery very low (10% and less), and do not keep them charged often or always high (100%).
    3. Lithium batteries do not like the following:
    A: Deep discharges, as meaning roughly 10% or less on a frequent basis.
    B: Rapid discharges as referring to energy intensive gaming on battery on a frequent basis (in which case while gaming, if possible, do same on power rather than battery). This is a minor consideration.
    C: Constant inflation, as meaning always or most often on charge, and certainly not both in sleep mode and on charge always or often.

  • IOS 6 drains my battery like IOS 5

    I have an iPhone 4S and just like when IOS 5 came out, any notifications that appear on my phone, if I don't unlock my phone (swipe the bottom), to clear out the notifications, they end up draining my battery!  Same problem when IOS 5 came out and APPLE had to release an enhancement updgarde to fix this!
    I only have Email and Facebook notifications turned on and I make sure to clear out any opened apps. I didn't have have this problem with IOS 5.1.1.  As soon as IOS 6 came out, these problems occured, just like when IOS 5 first came out.
    I used my phone 4x yesterday (2 IM's and 2 short calls) and I started with 100% battery and by 5pm, it was down to 18%. 
    2 nights ago, I went to bed with a 38% battery and when I woke up, my battery was at 0% as my phone shut itself down.
    I have also tried doing a hard reset.
    Anyone else having this issue?  Any word on when an enhancement upgrade will be available to fix this issue?

    Brad,
    I truly believe the issue is the IOS 6 software upgrade.
    I, recently, used to work for Apple (1.5 yrs) and have tried everything that there is to do with remedying this issue.
    As mentioned in my initial post, my phone did not have these issues until after installing IOS 6, which coincidentally, is having the same issue as we all had when IOS 5 was released.

  • Is there a way to disable push mail from Yahoo? It's draining my battery

    I'm on the prepaid plan and every 10-15 minutes my iphone turns on with a "The last transaction cost $0.00" message. I don't mind the message (although it is a bit annoying) but my problem is that this turns the LCD on for about 2 minutes at a time.
    I charged my battery to 100% last night, haven't used it at all today and after just turning it on a few minutes ago I had the "Your battery life is at 10%" message followed by a 5% remaining message a few minutes later.
    I've heard that it's the yahoo push mail service thats causing the phone to give the message (since it connects to the internet). My Yahoo account is my main one and I'd hate to have to login to yahoo's site each time to check it (the email functionality was a big selling point for me with the iphone). ATT/Apple don't seem to want to disable this message/"Feature", so I'm guessing I would need to step in and do something on my end.
    Is there any way to disable yahoo mail from "pushing" messages to my phone? I can hit the Check Mail button if I have to.

    Hi Everyone,
    To give an update on the situation: I disabled the Yahoo account and it seems to make a VERY NOTICEABLE difference in battery life - prior to this my battery would drain quite rapidly but since disabling it it's only lost about 15-20% over the past 24 hours (and thats with using the video/music/internet functions for about an hour and a half).. Prior to this it would have been close to drained under the same circumstances.
    Also, to confirm, the "Your last transaction cost 0.00" messages only appear when accessing the internet manually now. before they appeared every 10-15 minutes with no interaction from myself at all (while it was sitting idle, while watching videos, while charging, while in my pocket, etc..)
    I do have it set to only check Manually but Yahoo would seem to check on it's own even though this setting is checked (I'm guessing it has to do with the Push setting). Aside from draining the battery, it was quite annoying having 30 or so "Your transaction cost $0.00" messages to click through whenever I turned on the phone.
    I did have the screen set to shut off after 1 min, but the 'your transaction cost..' messages would first wake the iphone up, the screen would stay bright for about 30 seconds, dim for about 30 seconds, then turn on bright again for 1 minute until it shut off. I'm guessing the screen (being on for about 10-15 minutes per hour due to this) and the fact that yahoo accesses the internet on such a frequent basis are what cut the battery life down.
    I really wish I could make Yahoo work more like Gmail and have it manually search for new mail

  • I'm new to iPad. I've installed some apps. The apps are "open" even when I go to something else or close that page. I just did some updates on other apps and see those apps are still "open". How do I close them?  I'm sure it's draining my battery. Help!

    I'm new to iPad. I've installed some apps. The apps are "open" even when I go to that page and go off it. How do I close them?  I'm sure they are draining my battery. Can someone explain what I'm doing or not doing correctly?  Thanks

    If you are referring to the fact that, in the App Store app, after you have installed or updated an App, that the Install button changes to now read "Open" then this does not mean that the App is Open and running. It means, rather, that, if you touch the button now marked "Open", the App will be started and "Open". It's just a quick way to get to the App you have just installed or updated.
