Battery issues after Mavericks upgrade

After upgrading to Mavericks I got Service Battery error (at just 99 cycles) and my battery life dropped to about half (in actual time).
Is that a known issue? What should I do

Try a SMC reset:

If no change, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.
Ciao.

  • HT1519 Mid 2009 MBP 15" cycle count 500ish but getting "Service Battery" notification after Mavericks upgrade

    Dear Apple,
    I've got a Mid 2009 Macbook pro 15". Been going great. Love it. Much better user experience than my PC laptop.
    However, straight after Mavericks upgrade, I've been starting receiving "Service Battery" notification. I've had a look at my Cycle count, which is 516 as it currently stands. According to the spec, this expected battery count is 1000. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Dan

  • Massive Battery Drain After Mavericks Upgrade on 11" 2013 MacBook Air?

    I got my Air about month before Mavericks came out and the battery life was amazing on it. I was easily getting 14-10 hours of life using Chrome and Air Mail App, along with Power Point and MS Word. After the upgrade to Mavericks, it was slow but I started to notice that my battery life during classes was draining so much faster than before and I had not added anything 3rd party software, just the upgrade. I am now down to about 3.5 - 4.5 hours of battery life doing about the same things as before the upgrade. I did a couple of apps and I added (Sims 3 game). However, I have yet to touch it because of the diminished battery life.
    I have included a copy of my Etrecheck, can somone take a look and let me know if you think I need to clean something off?
    I did do the SMC reset and that seemed to to give a little juice (like putting new tire on your car but still not where it was before the Mavericks upgrade) as I am up to about 6 hours of battery life after the SMC reset.
    Please let me know what other information you might need from me that would help and thank you so much!!

    Hi Lex,
    Not sure why but I had a hard time finding all of the related files to get rid of Origin. But I think I finally got them. I just uninstalled Flash and Chrome. I don't like Safari but all well. I suppose I can deal with it it until Apple fixes this battery issue and then maybe I can go back to Chrome. Safari isn't too happy with certain websites, under the Preferences/Security there is an error message that reads "Google Safe Browsing Service Is Not Available. Has not been updated in 8 days."
    Haven't noticed a change in battery since doing all of this so let me know if it will take a couple of days to reset. Or if you see anything else that I can do to help. Thank!

  • Permissions issue after Mavericks upgrade

    I have just updated an early 2008 IMac with OSX Mavericks.
    All software running fine, but I noticed occassionally I was getting an authentication prompt on some files, didn't follow, but simply authenticated as and when I need to, I assumed it was when I moved files from my Mac Pro to my Imac.
    Having run the upgrade however, I get an error message to contact the vendor (Battlefront) as my copy of Combat Mission Battle for Normandy has lost its license.
    After the upgrade I had also purchased from the same vendor Combat Mission Fortress Italy. Having downloaded this and gone to run after copying to applications, this software gives me an error message saying unknown developer so I have got no where near installing a license.
    Having contacted the vendor and tried to get a work around, I am now getting the message it is you Mac not our software, despite the fact that all my other software is working fine (and the fact that the Combat Mission Battle for Normandy game worked fine until the upgrade).
    I do feel some sympathy for them, I do think the Mac has some sort of permission issue - I also probably compounded this by deleting a user which I did not recognise called 'wheel' which I suspect now is some form of default permisison.
    Anyone got any ideas, how do I 'reset' the system - I have tried fixing the permissions through disk utility.
    My vendor got me to run a sudo command through Terminal, but I got the message...
    sudo: unable to stat /etc/sudoers: Permission denied
    sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting

    Update Saturday Jan 4, 2014
    Before my Mavericks upgrade on my Mac Pro, no problems ever (use my Mac 4-8 hours a day) using my Bose Companion 5 USB connected speakers. I've tried shutting the Mac down and plugging the Bose USB cable into another open USB port = no joy and other combinations. I tested the same Bose Companion 5 USB speakers on two other laptops with NO issues (ouch...they were running Windows 7) I have deleted the two .plist files, did the CMD+OPT+P+R reset, etc... = no change. Looked into Midi Audio Setup and did not see anything in there to change even though I tried a couple of things and no avail (there was no Garageband setting/entry).
    I still get a solid "BEEEEEEEEP" sound every 20+ seconds, when the sounds tries to toggle, by itself, between the Bose USB Audio device and the Internal Speakers.

  • Bootcamp Issues after Mavericks Upgrade

    I was happily running ML, Win 7 and VMware Fusion on a MBP Mid 2010 then decided to upgrade to Mavericks. After sucessfully performing the upgrade and updating Fusion to the latest version I found that the Win 7 VM would throw an "operation failed on rdisk0s4 " after around 10 minutes. I can boot into Win 7 and it runs fine but won't in the VM. I thought it may be a Fusion problem so I installed Parallels and it has the same issue. I'm assuming the Mavericks upgrade did something to the Bootcamp partition. Disk Utility shows the Bootcamp partition and everything looks ok. I did notice that in Disk Utility the partition is named Bootcamp but after the VM failure it is named rdisk0s4.
    Could the partition name be part of the issue here? i've seen some issues with others losing the Bootcamp partition from the boot menu after a Mavericks upgrade but not this problem.
    I have a Winclone backup of the Win 7 partition but it's not that recent and now Winclone fails on the creation of a clone process. Somehow I don't think restoring a Winclone backup is going to sort this out. I'd appreciate some expert opinions on this problem.

    The size of the MS Data should be roughly the sum of the 'gap' (107,422,440) and GPT 4 (86,753,280), which is roughly 90+ GB. Your current disk0s4 is about 45GB. In Testdisk you should skip the smaller 6174 and 28800 or similar sized entries.

  • Speaker issue after Mavericks Upgrade

    I recently upgraded to Mavericks on my Mac Pro (mid 2010 ver.)
    Now when I try to listen to Pandora, iTunes, or anything that pushes sound thru the O/S, the sound "jumps" between my Bose 5 companion computer speakers (USB) and the internal Mac Pro speakers.
    Additionally, when I go to Preferences-----Sound, you can literally see the O/S jumping back and forth to these two rows  "Built In   Internal Speakers" and "Bose USB Audio    USB". More specifically, you will hear the music thru the Bose speakers and then about every 20 seconds (sometimes it goes for over a minutes) it will "beeeeeeep" and then jump to the Mac Pro internal speakers.
    I tried deleting the two .plist files as previous mentioned in past threads with no luck. Before I upgraded to Mavericks I never had ANY sound/speaker issues what so ever.
    Any suggestions? Thank you

  • IMovie Issue after Mavericks upgrade

    I upgraded my iMac 2009 to Mavericks today. I updated all the user accounts for format changes to Mail, iPhoto and iMovie. What a pain. I don't recall this being an issue before (I was running Lion) but iMovie now only lets one user run iMovie at a time. A dialog pops up stating "You can't open the application "iMove.app" because someone else is using it.  Ask the other user to quit the application, and then try again."  Was this always like this? It's kind of funny to have an app that behaves like this. Does anyone know what wrong? Operator or System error? Thanks.

  • Battery issue after iOS upgrade to 4.1

    I have upgraded my iOS to release 4.1. After that my battery will be empty within a 4 or 5 hours. before the upgrade the battery works more than a day.
    Another issue is to delete emails. If I delete some mails and wait a few seconds the mail will be received again. This happens with my Mobile Me account AND for my exchange account. Before the upgrade was made all works properly.
    I have tried to reset the iPhone to factory settings and make a new configuration manually but the result is still the same.
    Anyone has an idea what kind of issue I have?

    1 & 2, common problems.
    3 - check your settings
    Apple fix the bugs?  Sooner or later. 
    Good luck.

  • Battery Issues after Lion Upgrade

    Anyone else experiencing issues with battery after upgrade??  Battery now failing when fulling charge about 10 mins after removing power cord.  Also saying Service Battery.  Had no issues with Snow Leopard and also my 15" MBpro is only about 1.5 yrs old...

    Same problem. Recently upgraded to Lion. Was using my Mac fine (running off battery) this morning, no worries. Came home from work, wouldn't turn on without plugging it in, turned it on, said "service battery", left it charging for awhile, unplugged it, it wouldn't turn on again without plugging it in, told me 0% charge. How can it go from working fine in the morning to not at all at night??
    Have had a few problems since Lion. Wish I hadn't upgraded. Also had my itunes account hacked last week. Losing my love for apple

  • Email issues after Mavericks upgrade

    After upgrading to Mavericks, email in Macmail does not load automatically.  Have checked the box for automatic in preferences, but still a no go.  Mail will also not load after "sleep" without a manual selection to get mail.
    Worked just fine under Mountain Lion.
    Did not see any solutions in this forum for my problem.

  • Battery issue in mavericks

    I've updated my MacBook Pro to Mavericks. It's faster, but I've noticed two problems:
    1 - the battery percentage often seems to be blocked, it never decrease during usage;
    2 - sometimes the OS isn't able to close Mail when switching off my Mac.
    It's a young OS, so I think some patches are on the way.

    Is the MacBook/Air still covered under any AppleCare plan?
    If you are in the US or Canada, the Apple Store with Genius
    bar can have a look at it, and diagnose it for free; you'd have
    to set an appointment at a store nearest you, for them do do it.
    Not sure how old the unit is or how it was used, charged, or re-
    charged; but those are the kinds of little things that may affect
    battery life or subtract possible useable Cycles off its life.
    Some users of MB/Air models (and MB/Pro, etc) had noticed
    a loss of battery capacity after an upgrade to Mavericks. So
    that may be some kind of revision to how the battery is seen
    by the newer OS X. No idea if Mavericks uses more power.
    To see an expert or specialist about this issue, for advice, &
    or test/diagnose may be an idea. Could be it needs a new
    battery. How does the rest of the battery/power specs look?
    Perhaps the MacBook just wants to get out on the town...

  • No battery life after system upgrade

    I've searched this forum and found a few notes about significant battery problems after Android upgrades. Immediately after upgrading my Droid X, my battery life went from more than 24 hours to about 4 hours. The battery is very hot and takes about 6 hours to charge. Clearly something is draining the battery. The Verizon tech folks declared it a faulty battery and are sending a new one. I am certain that's not the problem, especially since others have reported the same issue.
    So I hoped to wipe the cache before having to do a factory reset -- it was suggested as a possible solution. I have found some instructions for wiping the cache, but I can't seem to get the instructions to work. I power off my Droid, then hold the home key. Nothing happens. So I can't get to the menu that gives the options mentioned. Can anyone help? I loved my Droid until this update... I really need my phone to work as I am self-employed. I am my own IT department! 

    Hi dazzie,
    I understand your discontent; I would be frustrated if my phone's battery drained for no apparent reason. Please run your phone in Safe Mode as recommended by Cody21 (thank you!). Safe Mode temporarily disables all applications that have been installed via the Android Market. Performing this troubleshooting step is necessary to determine whether a 3rd party application is the cause of an Operating System / Application issue.
    I have checked my resources and I learned that similar battery issues have occurred with other devices upon a software upgrade due to third party applications that are not fully compatible with the upgrade Operating System and a Factory Reset has resolved most post upgrade issues. Please do a Factory Reset as this may resolve your concerns.
    Please keep in mind that performing a hard reset will remove ALL data including the Google account, system data, application data, application settings, and downloaded applications.

  • After Mavericks upgrade, apps using iCloud hang

    I had earlier posted in the iWork forum about issues using Pages etc after Mavericks upgrade
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5618268?tstart=90
    However, the problem is more general.   It seems that any app that uses iCloud to store data or documents hangs when trying to reference iCloud.
    Not all iCloud services are broken, just apps storing data and documents.  For example, Safari bookmarks are still syncing fine over iCloud.  I can go to my iPhone and see my current tabs all listed.
    However, any app that references iCloud data storage becomes unresponding.  This includes TextEdit, iWork suite, Pixelmator, and others.
    When I go into the System Preferences, and choose iCloud and look at the  "Documents & Data" it is checked on but clicking "options" lists NO apps in the list of apps that store data in iCloud.   I have turned this back on and off without change.  I have also reinstalled both Pages 4.3 and Pages 5.0.1 and nothing changes here.  I have also reinstalled Mavericks (on top of existing) multiple times without any change in this setting.
    If I go to manage my iCloud account for Documents & Data I can see apps listed (OS X and iOS) and existing documents that are in my iCloud storage, so the iCloud account is active and working and I can "manage" it from my Mac.
    This is a MacPro3,1 and has 10.9 and all updates that have come out since.  It was upgraded from 10.8.4 and that was upgraded (with intermediate 10.8.x) from 10.7.x which had been upgraded from 10.6.x) etc.

    The suggestion by Linc Davis here (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5028839?start=15&tstart=0) fixed the issue for me.
