What happened to my battery??

I just bought the new 15in PB about a month ago. Everything has been working fine until now. The battery only gives me 25 min of power. I calibrated the battery over and over. When I charge the battery, it one, charges way too fast, and two, for example, I have 43% of life left and it says I have 10min left. I take it this is a software problem. If anybody knows how to help me, please do. Thanks so much.

Try resetting the PMU…

Lost my iPod, remotely locked it through iCloud. What happens when the battery goes out?

Hello!
I lost my Ipod, but managed to locate and lock it remotely through Find my iPod and iCloud. It was located once, but hasn't been located again in the last four days. I think the battery may have run out. What happens when the battery is charged and the iPod turned back on? Does the lock and everything else that can be controlled with Find my iPod still apply?
Thank you!

Yes, because when you remotely lock the iPod via Find my iPod, the lock code is set as the lock code that you would use to unlock the iPod if you used a passcode normally. As long as the iPod is still connected to your Apple ID, Find my iPod should work as log as the iPod is connected to wifi.

IPhone 5 what happened to the battery!

Took my iPhone to the apple store as I was having an issue with the mic it was intermittently not picking up so they said the only thing they could do for now is put iOS 7 on my phone I have been holding back for weeks I really don't like the look of it but thought if it solves the issue then I will have to get over it, I use my iPhone as my satnav as well and when I went to the store I had around 85% plenty to do what I needed to do and get me home again with around 50% left is the usual for the length of drive however after driving home again It suddenly went down to 10% what happened to the battery life?? I can't walk around with a generator in my pocket to keep it charged I then made my usual phone call at night which lasted 2 1/2 hours and normally I would be looking around using 30% tonight I used almost 80%!

recalibrate the battery, let it completely drain out to where the phone shuts off and then fully charge it without using it.

What happened to my battery?? Charges too fast - lasts 25min

I just bought the new 15in PB about a month ago. Everything has been working fine until now. The battery only gives me 25 min of power. I calibrated the battery over and over. When I charge the battery, it one, charges way too fast, and two, for example, I have 43% of life left and it says I have 10min left. I take it this is a software problem. If anybody knows how to help me, please do. Thanks so much.

How about this. I had the exac same thing happen on my new PB after a few weeks of use. I tried the PMU reset twice last night to no avail. I recharged my battery over night, this morning I disconnected the power adapter and sure enough she started to drain right before my eyes. In 20 min she was empty and shut down. I left her off packed the Pb in my bag and went to work intending to call apple care and arrange for a replacement battery. I called Apple went through the regular stuff, obtained a number and was instructed to head into the nearest apple store for replacement battery. I had read someone that I should check my Pb with another battery, so I borrowed my work collegues PB, last generation, and swapped batteries, Ok his battery in my PB was great, System profiler showed that his battery had a full charge capacity of some 4000 mAh's. I then checked my battery in his PB and his system profiler showed mine as having a charge of some 4500 mAh's! before my battery in my PB showed only some 300mAh's. I reinstalled my battery into my PB and for some reason it now shows a full charge as 4451mAh's and it's acting correctly too. nw down to about 57% of charge after a few hours. I'll have to watch this over the next few days.

What happened to my battery power??

What is going on with my ipod touch's battery? I won't use it or turn it on for days, yet I'll turn it on and suddenly I'll have 10% battery life. I've read other suggestions about turning off wifi and turning off the push function and STILL my battery died. It died quicker, actually.
Why is it doing this? It didn't do this until the new update...

When you say "I won't use it or turn it on for days", do you mean you leave it asleep, ie you don't "power it off" with the red slider? If you don't power it off, then it is not off, it is in sleep mode. If you have wi-fi turned on or - even worse - push turned on, I can see how your power gets drained after a few days.
If it was only asleep overnight with these conditions and it drained to 10%, that would be a problem. I suggest, if you aren't using it often (heaven forbid!) you turn it off.

What happened to the battery indicator on my ipad's lock screen?

I've noticed recently that the large green (or red, if low) battery indicator that used to appear on the lock screen when my iPad 2 was plugged in has disappeared. I have searched in vain for a setting for this, could someone point me in the right direction? It could have happened when I updated to iOS 5.0.1, but I am not quite sure the time matches up, and it seems like a silly change to make. Also, my iPhone has the battery indicator, and it's also on 5.0.1.

The issue may also be caused by the power source that you are using:
iPad: Charging the battery
If you don't see the white charging or plug icons, try connecting to the 10W power adapter.
iPad: Charging the battery
To charge your iPad battery, try one of the following:
Connect iPad to a power outlet using the included cable and the 10W USB power adapter.
Connect to a high-power USB 2.0 port using the included cable.

What happens after ipad battery expires ??? Will it swells like in macbook?

I am wondering what cost is worth, if ipad battery can be replaced in ipad 3 ?
I think battery will swells out like in other products like macbook/air/pro ?

The battery can be replaced - in the US it's $99 plus $6.95 shipping.
From http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html :
A properly maintained iPad battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 1000 full charge and discharge cycles. You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs.

What happened to my battery life?

I installed Lion this morning (>8hrs ago) and the battery life is now terrible. I am not using any new apps or anything differently than I did yesterday. Any tips?

Have you tried calibrating your battery? I that doesn't help, try resetting the PMU.

HT1688 My phone turned off while i was texting. I not sure what happened because the battery was at 72%. I tried turning it on but nothing happened.

MY phone turned off while texting battery at 72%. I tried turning it on but screen stays black.

First, try to reset the phone by pressing the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back. You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not work, connect in recovery mode, explained here:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

What happened to battery doctor with the green logo?

What happened to the battery doctor app with the green battery logo? I can no longer find it in the app store, which I tried to do when searching it for my boyfriend. I assume it's from the same company that makes the battery doctor with the orange logo (same look just different color). Is the new app comparable or better than the original one?

HT4061 my ipad automatically shut down and now i lost al savings and in-app purchases the battery was on 50% what happened and can i get my purchases back

my ipad automatically shut down and now i lost al savings and in-app purchases the battery was on 50% what happened and can i get my purchases back

Hi there,
This seems very frustrating. An iPad can shut down randomally for many reasons, just like a computer can crash. If it begins to happen regularly, then do contact Apple, but there are no signs that your iPad is malfunctioning from just one shut down like this.
But, you should be able to get all your in-app purchases back. In some apps, there is a 'restore purchases' button, which will download all the purchases you made for free.
In some cases, you can tap to make the purchase again, and it will be downloaded at no charge, however this does not happen with consumable items such as coins and credits.
I reccomend contacting iTunes Store Support at the link below, they will take a closer look at your purchases and give you further steps on redeeming them. They may also refund you if they have been lost.
iTunes Store Support
You can also contact the developer of the app, and report the crash and missing purchases. If you tell me the app, I'll give you the relevent contact in the developers.
Other than that, sorry for the problems, and have a great day,
Nathan

The battery for my Macbook Pro 13 "has only 121 cycles and is not charging anymore, my Mac is telling me that it is necessary to exchange it. You have any tips for me to find out what might be happening with my battery?

The battery for my Macbook Pro 13 "has only 121 cycles and is not charging anymore, my Mac is telling me that it is necessary to exchange it. You have any tips for me to find out what might be happening with my battery?

Guys, i am actually trying using a solution provided by the article shared by dominic23,
It says "Another option is to get an ionizer to help the atmosphere in the workplace be more conductive and pull charges away from contact surfaces, including yourself."
So in my home, we have such device that could clean the air using ion, and i am using it in my room...
Result: BANG!!! The electric shock on my macbook has gone!! I don't really care about physics but somehow it works! You guys should give it a try.
Thanks again dominic23
