Late 2010 MBA 13" shuts down on empty battery

Late 2010 MBA 13" 1.86GHZ, 2GB RAM - Lion
On empty battery my MBA going to shut down instead of hibernate, and when I connect power cord I need to hit power button and it booted up like after normal switch off. Of course Lion keeps applications windows, but some apps and sites like Skype require paswords again.
I know MBA should sleep if I leave it without activity, but for some reasons it not happen every time what is caused empty battery.
Is it normal? How to fix?
Could someone check pmset -g on Late 2010 MBA 13" with Lion (please be sure your MBA on battery power when command executed) and tell me know hibernatemode value, maybe for some reason this parameter is incorrect on my MBA and it causes listed problem?
Also, I investigated that pmset -g displays hibernatemode 1, but man pmset explains that correct values for hibernatemode are 0, 3, 25
I have recognised that in folder /var/vm sleepimage file is exist, but as I have wrote on empty battery MBA going to simple switch off and switch on without restore state from hibernating.
I know it is possible to modify hibernatemode, but guess on MBA different power management system is used and better to know hibernatemode value from people who have no problem with MBA.
Could someone run in terminal pmset -g on Late 2010 MBA 13" with Lion (please be sure your MBA on battery power when command executed) and tell me know hibernatemode value?
Maybe for some reason this parameter is incorrect on my MBA and it causes listed problem?
Thank you in advance!

Take it in. Let them fix it. It's not normal for that to happen.

  • Hello... can anyone help, my late 2010 MBA's - OS X Lion 10.7.5 wifi won't turn on after a deep sleep

    can anyone help, my late 2010 MBA's - OS X Lion 10.7.5 wifi won't turn on after a deep sleep.. thanks..!

    Hi John,
    Thanks for the additional information.  What I would try next is resetting System Management Controller:
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    You can find the full article here:

    If this still doesn't help, it would be time to take it in to be looked at.  You can setup an appointment at a Genius Bar by clicking on the following link:

    That may explain as to why my MBA is not presented with one.

  • Lync 2010 Recurring meetings don't work post-migration when 2010 server is shut down

    I've got an interesting issue here. I completed my Lync Server 2010 -> 2013 migration about 6 months ago, and everything has been going fine as far as I can tell. I left one of the servers up and running in the 2010 pool for a while. I finally decided
    it was time to fully decommission Lync Server 2010, so I shut down my 2010 server. I did not delete from the topology just yet, in case something bad happened. Well, when I shut it down, I got reports from some users that they couldn't get into their Lync
    Meetings.
    The only conclusion I have been able to draw is that this happens for recurring meetings that were scheduled before the Lync Server 2013 migration. It seems that those meetings did not get migrated with the users. Does anyone have any guidance for this situation?
    I'm guessing there's no way to actually move the meetings. At best, I'd like to simply be able to identify users who are in this situation and have them reschedule their meetings. I think there are few enough of them that we can handle that.

    That's seems odd per:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj688011.aspx 
    What is the user experience?
    Have you followed all the decommission steps? Have you tried Move-CsConferenceDirectory:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412968.aspx
    "When you create a dial-in conferencing Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), those URIs are assigned unique SIP addresses. However, SIP addresses are difficult to translate to devices that are not SIP-aware; for example, a public switched telephone network
    (PSTN) telephone can’t translate a SIP address. Because of that, Lync Server uses conference directories as a way to help these devices locate, and connect to, dial-in conferences. This is done by creating a SIP conference directory that is associated with
    each dial-in conferencing URI, and is identified by an integer value rather than a SIP URI. PSTN telephones and other devices can then use these numbers instead of a SIP URI when connecting to conferences; the directory number is included in the PSTN conference
    identification users enter when connecting to a dial-in conference.
    Occasionally, you might need to move a conference directory from one pool to another; for example, if you decommission a pool you might need to move your existing conference directories to a new location. The
    Move-CsConferenceDirectory cmdlet enables you to move conference directories to a different pool."

  • My macbook (aluminum 13inch) shuts down unexpectedly when battery 45%

    hello there,
    my macbook 13inch-aluminum, 2 years old, shuts down unexpectedly when battery state is at about 45% and when an external hard drive (western digital passport 160gb) is connected, or an iphone on a usb port. This occurs only when my mac is running on battery power. I suppose same thing will happen with any other usb device connected. Last time the same thing happened, i did not have any usb device connected onto my laptop.
    My battery details are
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 2377
    Fully charged: No
    Charging: Yes
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 3234
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 276
    Condition: Normal
    Battery Installed: Yes
    Amperage (mA): 376
    Voltage (mV): 12249
    I tried to reset my SMC settings as well, but this did not help. Any thoughts please?

    Your full charge capacity is about 75% of what it should be, even though your cycle count is comparatively low. If you still have AppleCare, you ought to be able to convince them on the phone or at your local Genius Bar that you have a defective battery, because your capacity should be much higher at that number of cycles.
    If you do not have AppleCare, you will probably have to pay for replacement.

  • IPhone 5 shuts down with the battery at 40%

    I'm having issues with my iPhone 5. It regularly shuts down with the battery being far from 0%. When I took it to the apple store, a "genius" said that the battery is fine and restored the phone to the factory settings. I set it up as new without touching the backup (with iOS 8), but the iPhone keeps shutting down with a half charged battery. If anythings, the problem only became worse with iOS 8.1. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix it.
    The iPhone is out of the warranty and is not eligible for battery replacement. Another issue I have is that the home button often responds with a delay, but I don't know if it's related to the main problem.
    Thanks

    Here's the battery info from iBackupBot:
    CycleCount: 368
    DesignCapacity: 1430
    FullChargeCapacity: 1200

  • My MAC Pro shuts down when the battery still have 50 minutes life.

    My MAC Pro shuts down when the battery still has 52 minutes life without any warning. Does anyone have this problem? BTW, it is less than one year old.

    You must have a MacBookPro, right? MacPro's are big desktop models.
    Try the MacBookPro battery forum or their Usage forum.

  • My iPhone 4 keeps shutting down with high battery percentage?

    I have an iPhone 4 that I just received in September/October due to issues I was having with the screen.  It has recently begun to freeze, shut down and come back on, and ultimately shutting down around 36% battery life.  I can plug it into the charger and it will immediately turn back on, usually at the same percentage as when it shut off.  Only last night it shut down at 36/37% and when I plugged it in it came on at 25%.  I've done resets but nothing seems to be helping.  Any other suggestions?

    This is often due to fautly battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

  • MacBook shuts down on 60% battery percentage.

    My MacBook shuts down on random percentages when used on battery power. I can only use it for FIVE minutes before it shuts down. And as I said, it shuts down before the battery runs down to 0%.

    Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info, then select Power from the left hand column of the System Profiler. Copy and paste the Battery Information back here.

  • Macbook Pro random shut down whilst using battery

    My Macbook Pro randomly shuts down whilst using battery power even though their is plenty of charge in the battery.
    Any ideas??

    does it do it when plugged in?
    Also it sounds that there's a power failure and causing it to shutdown, I would get it serviced asap, the battery connector might be faulty.
