When folk say their laptop takes ages to get going, people ask if there are any programs in the background that could be delayed, but I for one don't know which can and which can't.
I have an Acer tablet and those Apps DO confuse me. Which ones to close? That tablet runs out in no time so I really need to get to grips with it.

I again plug in the charger whilst watching a film on it.
Overcharging knackers the battery.

I always double click the button when I have finished to flip up apps that might be running in the back ground, and every so often I run the battery completely down before charging, this as always worked for me.
Probably want more to repair than it is worth.

I don't know what type of battery is in the iPad but I don't think it has a memory like some older type.

Re: Ipad battery not lasting long
No sympathy I'm afraid.You should have bought a proper netbook. You would have got a proper keyboard with it and good batteries that would last 10+ hours in constant usage. You'd be able to see your hard disk, it's folders, all your files, documents, photos etc and you would have had all the standard sockets that PCs/Laptops have had for may years like USB ports.
iPads are products that take people some years backward in technology but which are marketed as super fresh technology.

Only an idiot, imo, would buy a "computer" product and then allow the seller to offer the keyboard as an "add-on" at extra cost.Imagine walking into your car show room and buying a car and when you tried to drive it away you realised there were no wheels and that you need to buy those as extras ! What a hoot !
iPads are the most ridiculous invention of the "naughties" imo. Everything a PC/laptop offered people for years is suddenly locked away with an iPad. Hell I can't even walk up to an iPad user with a basic USB stick on which I have say a PDF document and plug that in so they can take a copy of it. How utterly ridiculous.
Ah but of course I could take MBs of documents or photos and send them whizzing from my PC into the cyberworld via email for example and the the poor iPad user can log into his/her email and download them from there ! It is laughable.
Imagine Currys selling you a DVD player so you can watch DVD films. Then I turn up to your house with this great DVD I want us to watch and you say:
"Ah . . . well. ... actually it doesn't have an actual DVD Drive, but if you upload your DVD content using your PC and email it to me then I can download it and then we can watch it"
But I have the film right here, right now, here in the same room as you. How come you can't use the DVD?"
It is a farcical situation but by spending $billions on media marketing they have convinced millions of saps that iPads are a good product.
There is truly one born every minute.
No USB port . . . . just lols!

By over charging I meant charging too often and whilst you use it.
