Battery Problems After Mavericks installation

So i have a MacBook Pro 8.1.  Before i installed mavericks (under mountain lion) i was getting about 4.5 hrs on a full charge (90% brightness).  After installing Mavericks i've had several problems.
Immediately, I received a "service battery" error.  I never had that problem before.
Battery life seems to be jumping all over the place.  One minute it will say that i have 30% left (and literally within a span of a min of two) it will drop to 17%. (with no noticeable app draining the battery - as confirmed by activity monitor).
The time remaining indicator takes about 5 min to indicate how much time left this is in contrast to booting in safe mode (where the indicator showed right away).
Battery life seems about the same (i.e. on a full charge i see it at about 4 hrs - but then it quickly drops 3.5 and than back up and then back down)
I did the following to see if i could "fix" the problem.
a complete battery cycle (calibration). - this seemed to get rid of the "service battery" indicator at least
a PRAM reset (x2)
an SMC reset (x2)
Disk / Permission verify and repair (no problems)
I booted off a 2nd internal HD which had a copy of Mountain Lion.  The above problems were nonexistent which leads me to believe that this problem is specific to Mavericks.
p.s. and No Spotlight (or any particular process) isn't consuming a large amount of energy.
All that being said, anyone have any suggestions?  At this point i can't trust how much time i really have on my battery.
For what it's worth i have installed a 3rd party SSD.  I noticed on a few different discussions that being a common thread with others having the same problem.

I have exactly the same problem with an MacBook Pro 8.2 for first time some days after a clean Mavericks installation.
I dont have a 2nd internal HD installed.
We need an answer from Apple.

  • Serious problems after Mavericks installation with External Drive Lacie P9220.

    Experiencing serious problems after Mavericks installation with External Drive Lacie P9220 1TB. Mac Finder totally locked!
    I had to format the External hard drive with a Windows PC (fat32), then format again with my IMac (mac Journal.) and hopefully restored data from time machine backup.
    So far so good but system looks unstable. Some software were not able to write on the hard drive.Some strange things happens. With Mountain Lion never had an even minor issue.
    I read many discussion regarding problems with WD, just wondering if anyone had the same problems with Lacie and if there is any tip to solve the
    problem.
    Many thanks.
    Marco

    Thanks very much for your reply.
    Unfortunately I couldn't find a solution because the article refers to whom have configured the drive with included software and drivers that came with the drive.
    This is not my case, I never used any third party soft ...only OS X disk utility ...

  • Battery drains after Mavericks installation

    Hello,
    My Macbook pro, early 2011, seems consuming double battery power since the installation of mavericks.
    I discharged the battery completely and fully recharched it but the problem remains.
    Before installing mavericks the battery lasted for at least 6 hours depending of the system charge.
    Even if the battery remaining time show much more, since the installation of mavericks the battery doesn't last any longer then 3 hours:
    To save some battery I also disabled bluetooth on my system, but it doesn't help.

    Below my energy saving config:
    My MB goes into sleep mode as configured in the energy saving config.
    When i close the lid, it is definitely going in sleep mode.
    I'm verry sensible to noise, so I can hear when any ventilator blows or if the hd is moving.
    Anyway, the reduction of battery life is when continuously working on the system (so no sleep mode in between).
    Your remark concerning Sophos is pertinent, but it was already present before installing mavericks.
    It may consume a little bit, but it doesn't seem the problem when I look at the cpu.
    I'll try to reset the SMC but if that would cause the problem I should have certain phenomena that aren't present for the moment.
    A fan continously blowing, video card not switching correctly, or any other issue that could consume power.
    I can say that I'm pretty conscious of how my system works and what could be wrong, but this time I don't get it
    Thanks for your help!
    Greg

  • IMac 2007 with audio problems after mavericks installation

    Hi all,
    I'm having some troubles since I updated my iMac (mid 2007) to Mavericks.
    After the successfull installation of Mavericks I don't get any audio from my iMac. Regardless if I try to hear some music or system sounds.
    Everytime you would expect a system sound (for example incoming mail) the speakers will start to buzz instead of the expected system sound.
    This also happens during the system boot. I tried to reset the PRAM but without success. I also tried to check MIDI settings but this also didn't help.
    Before Mavericks everything worked fine...
    Does anyone have an idea or do I have to go to an Apple Store?
    Many thanks and kind regards.

    Have you tried a PRAM reset - might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

  • Everything keeps freezing/crashing after Mavericks installation on MacBook Pro

    Everything keeps freezing/crashing after Mavericks installation on MacBook Pro.
    It started with Photoshop, then Safari, and now the Kinect sensor.
    Mavericks is the worse thing that happened to me I have a thesis project to work on!
    What can I do?
    How can I remove Mavericks and go back to Mountain Lion?
    Thanks

    Hey StephSassine,
    First, I would run through these steps:
    Your computer’s startup disk may not have enough free disk space. To make disk space available, you can move files to another disk and then delete files you no longer need on the startup disk:
    Increase disk space
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10677
    If that doesn't work, you may need to repair your computer’s disk in Disk Utility:
    Choose Apple menu > Software Update to make sure you have the latest version of Mac OS X.
    Software updates sometimes change a file’s permissions to improve security, so updating your software can solve some permissions problems.
    Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in Launchpad.
    Select the disk you want to check.
    Click First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions.
    via: Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions   
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5821
    If that doesn't help resolve the issue, you can revert to a previous OS X version:
    OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version

    Sincerely,

    You have been up for ~17 days, and you have 1.72GB of pageouts.  That averages out to one page every 3 seconds, and we will assume you re not working 24/7, so when you are using your Mac you are spending a lot of time paging to disk.  Disks are slow.
    As Kappy says, you are either concurrently running too may RAM hungry apps, or you have some apps that really want lots of RAM and you are running them a lot day after day.  Either "Stop That!", or get more RAM.
    You could also consider a Solid State Disk, but that is not as good as having real RAM and would be more expensive than RAM unless you Mac is max'ed out on RAM.  Of course you could do both.  More RAM and an SSD
    If you want to see the paging for yourself, start an Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal session, and run the command:
    sar -g 60 100
    which will report the pageout stats every minute for 100 minutes (adjust the numbers to suit your tastes).
    Now use your Mac as your normally would, including the times when it is running slow.  After you have experienced the slowness, go back and look at the 'sar' output.  If you have mostly zeros with maybe a trivial blip every once in awhile, that is noise and not a paging issue.  If you have some high numbers, then you are paging heavily at that time.  If you have sustained paging, even if small value, it is going to affect your performance.  High numbers will affect your performance even more.

  • Windows 7 disappear from bootcamp after  maverick installation

    Windows 7 disappear from bootcamp after  maverick installation. What should I do to recover?
    I did try co reinstall windows but it make the installation new (nothing remain from the previous). Old windows partition seems lost.

    Hi Jack.........ok ive managed to create a link to that video on how to install bootcamp.....this is the tutorial i used and i managed to gain 100% completion on bootcamp 1st time no messing......like i said in my previous reply did you save the windows support files from apple....(Critical).....ok no point in messing about i suggest you start again from scratch........these are the things i used and YOU will need to complete bootcamp
    mem stick or cd-r / dvd-r......original copy disc of win 7 ...i never used an iso i used original disc....allow a minimum of 30gb of space for your win 7 partition.....if you want bootcamp so you can use big programs like windows based games i.e.....Crysis/Call of duty etc etc ..then you will need to consider that  you will need to allow a bigger partition to allow your HD to store the files.....this is the reason i installed bootcamp and so i made my partition    i have a 750GB HD so i made a partition of 300gb for windows 7 and left the other 450gb for Mac....so you need to partition enough for what you want bootcamp for remember once you get bootcamp working you will need to install ALL Important Windows updates Including Win 7 SP1......once everything is installed you will have bootcamp up and running lovely.....u can then boot up with either win7 or mac......click this link and watch carefully and do exactly as shown ok and you should be fine...if you have any probs contact me again ok.....let me know how you get on ok..:)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&v=QFIWtXTl4d0&NR=1

  • Is anyone have problems with Maverick installation?

    I had problems with Maverick installation.  It moved slowly and I lost the ability to use my Finder.  It was riddled with bugs.  I am trying to figure out why.  I ended up erasing hard drive and reinstalling Mountian Lion.

    No problems with Mavericks here ..
    How much free storage space on your iMac?
    Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
    The v10.9 Mavericks file is a little over 5GB's and Mavericks does require a high speed broadband connection.

  • Why is my iphone 5 having network and battery problems after the ios 6.1.2?

    why is my iphone 5 having network and battery problems after the ios 6.1.2?

    I also forgot to mention that when it did have power, it wouldn't let me shut it off to try and conserve the battery life. Right when it powered down it would power right back up.

  • Problems with iPhoto after Maverick installation

    After 'free' :-) installation of Mavericks, iPhoto doesn't work...
    When I take a look in the App Store I recognized
    that It isn't possible to update my Version of iPhoto..?
    I bought iPhoto two years ago and I'll not buy it again - the same programm.
    I need help!
    Chris

    This is the current message:
    The Photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • 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!

  • After Mavericks installation USB extern hd won't let the system shutdown

    after the Mavericks installation my UBS extern hard drive won't let the system shutdown or restart.
    If I unmount the USB HD and shutdown from apple menu or keyboard combination(control+eject key) then goes system down but without unmount shows just grey display with cursor and never go out. And the after the key combination control + eject then i can see the login field with restart, shutdown button then i can click shutdown button the system goes down. What do I have to do? 

    Bump.
    Lots of people are having this issue with no real good answers. I hope apple devs are reading the blogs and get us a fix for this quick. I had this problem after upgrading to mavericks, then I did a clean install to mavericks and still have the same issue. I already miss Steve.

  • Problems after Mavericks upgrade

    A few days ago, I installed the latest Mavericks upgrade.  I now cannot access the app store, which opens but doesn't show any icons or information - the pages are just blank.  Safari is also not working properly - it won't recognise the certificates from any secure sites, including this forum.  Facebook won't load properly, it only shows the bare html page.  I've tried restoring the system from a previous backup, but this doesn't work.  Can anyone help?

    Hi everyone,
    i have a solution!
    well at least that worked for me.
    It is nothing like a bug or software problem. It is just that after mavericks install for some reason i found a change in my Preview app preferences. So i set it correctly and now everything is back and working correctly.
    Go to the Preview Preferences, then choose the "Images" section/tab, then choose "Size on screen equals size on printout" option, and thats it!
    Try this out and I hope this works for you too!

  • Preview app retina resolution problems after Mavericks upgrade

    Hi everyone!
    after upgrading from Mountain Lion to Mavericks, the Preview app (Version 7.0) stops working in Retina resolution.
    For instance, a 2500pix graphics now does not fit in the monitor (2880x1800 pix native resolution) when displayed at actual size, i.e. 1 image pixel per 1 screen pixel. It is rendered at twice as low resolution.
    As with the previous os x mountain lion, in Mavericks too I am using "Best (Retina)" screen resolution mode in the Display Preferences.
    Any idea how to resolve this?
    actually, I belive this is some sort of bug of the Preview app.
    Is there anyone else having the same issue? If yes, please reply to this
