1 day old Retina MBP. Battery Icon disappeared,Backlight Keyboard is INOP, and CPU fan is on full all the time. Help!?

Just got my second replacement Retina Mac Book Pro last night for another unrelated issue.  I used time machine back up to restore files. I used it last night to DJ for work. NO problems everything working as normal. This afternoon when I connected the new  computer to my studio external monitor I noticed something strange, when I plugged in the charger,  (1) the light on the charger never lit up. (2) The CPU fan came on at full blast (3)  the battery Icon was missing (4) and I noticed that my backlight keyboard mysteriously stopped working.

Take it back and have the techs test it.

    I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos.  The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.  Also, sometimes my animations (applications opening, windows being dragged, etc.) will glitch as well.  Again, this is not a continual thing; it just happens variously throughout my day.  MBP Model A1212, OS X 10.6.8, 2.33 Ghz 3GB RAM.

    Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs  will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

    Since your iPhone is still under the one year warranty contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store to get a replacement.

  • My 2nd generation iPod touch keeps shutting off and I would need to restart all the time.  Can apple still do anything about it even though it's a very old iPod touch?

    Hi,
    I've had my iPod touch for a really long time and it recently starts to shut off or freezes all the time.  There is always batteries in it and I am getting annoyed by restarting it all the time.  Is there any way to fix this and will apple do anything about it because it is a old generation iPod touch.  Thanks!

    Have you tried restoring to Factory Default (setup as new).

  • N97 My Battery shows full all the

    My Battery shows full all the time and when the battery is empty the phone gives me one warning and shuts down...Does anyone know where i can amend the settings that show the battery falling in power gradually.. so i know when i am nearly out of power. my mobile is n97

    There is no setting for this.. Try Updating / Re-installing the firmware..
    Take data back-up before you go for it...
    Alternatively you may download and install the Nokia Battery Monitor from here .. and set it as Homescreen Widget..

  • T61 fan runs all the time on AC, does not when on battery

    Hello,
    with the lastest BIOS (and those before) my T61's (8889)  fan runs all the time when it is AC powered. (After initial start it begins with 0, then ~2500 rpm, then ~3100 rpm and then stays there even if idle).
    When on battery under the same circumstances, it doesn't go above ~2500rpm (which is far less noisy then the ~3100rpm level) and often it even stops.
    As far as the BIOS settings allow, it is trimmed to max. power saving also when AC powered but still it's getting on my nerves.
    Can Lenovo please look into this and make it as quiet as it is on battery also when on AC?
    P.S. I cannot see that the temperature levels as reported through ACPI are any higher on AC then on battery, so I don't understand why the fan has to run all the time that loud when on AC.
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Hi Daniel,
     There are two options for you to consider:
    1) Better CPU speed management:
    - Install a utility called "RMClock" to better manage the CPU (it's a free utility that throttles the CPU to run at different speeds depending on the needs - the CPU speeds increase automatically to full power when required).
    - By regulating the CPU speed, the fan will not need to work that often to expell hot air, because the CPU generates much less heat.
    - you will find a quick "how-to" for using RMClock --> HERE
    2) BIOS thermal management
    - You can change the BIOS settings for the "thermal management" (enter BIOS, choose "Config", then "Thermal Management" ) . Change the fan control from "performance" to "battery optimized" under the "plugged-in" option. This will reduce the frequency with which the fan runs, but beware that if your system is plugged in and you're not using any CPU management - meaning that your CPU is running at full speed, then the system will heat up more than you'll be comfortable with!!
    I would therefore suggest that you use a CPU throttling management utility (like RMClock mentioned above) together with the thermal management option in your BIOS. This will reduce the frequency with which the fan starts and operates but still keeping the system cool.
    A completely different approach is to install and use "Thinkpad Fan Control" -- read this thread ... Be aware that the utility takes a lot of tweaking to get the settings right, but also be aware that you can damage your system if you do not make the right settings!!!
    Hope this helps!

  • I need to share a file with sec.(windows based). She uses it all the time. I need to just download updated version every few days. I have an old airport extreme and was hoping to attach an external drive. Will this work?

    I need to download an updated version of a file every few days to use. My secretary  works on the file all the time. I thought i could use my old airport extreme and attach an external HD and set up a network to do just this. At work we alll use pc's. How can i make this work? At the moment we use usb stick to transfer which is getting to be a bit of a pain as the file grows every week. Presently 5GB.

    I thought i could use my old airport extreme and attach an external HD and set up a network to do just this.
    Yes, you can use either the 802.11g or 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) to attach an external USB HDD for file sharing. Either AEBS model would allow you to share out this HDD to either Macs or PCs. From the PC, the shared HDD would appear as a network drive which you can map via Windows Explorer.

  • My laptop got wet - battery icon now has a X inside and it is not holding any charge at all, anyone else dealt with this scenario?

    My laptop got wet - battery icon now has a X inside and it is not holding any charge at all, anyone else dealt with this scenario?

    The battery is not detected, so it means that the battery or the battery connector are not working, which is a serious problem.
    Turn off your MacBook and take it to an Apple Store or reseller. It will be an expensive repair if your logic board has to be replaced. Read > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5511

  • My original iPad is very slow and drops the signal to websites and videos all the time now.  Does it have a virus or extra junk on it to cause this or is it just so old it can not handle the extra stuff on websites these days??

    My original iPad is slow and drops web pages and videos all the time now.  Is the software just too old to handle the technology changes on the websites and video or is it a virus or junk in the iPad causing this?  I have plenty or storage left on the iPad like 18GB.  Sure would like to know.  Maybe it is just too old to handle things now? 

    IIf you are running iOS 6.1.2, you could not be using the original iPad. No matter which iPad and what version, try these basic troubleshooting steeps and see if it helps with the performance.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data. Then close all apps.
    In order to close apps in iOS 5 or iOS 6, first tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    In order to close apps in iOS 7 or 8, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Now reset your iPad. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

  • MBP 13" backlight keyboard goes on and off

    Try resetting the PRAM. Shutdown the computer, with your left hand hold down the option+command keys. Power the computer on and immediately wiht your right hand hold down the P key wiht your little finger and with your index finger hold down the R key, wait until your hear the Apple chime twice release al keys and let the machine bootup. If that doesn't work I would suggest taking the computer to an Apple store ASAP and have a Genius address the issue. Hope this helps!

  • Macbook battery life,  is there a problem If I keep it plugged almost all the time?

    Hello.
    New Mac user here, so I was wondering if there's a problem if I keep my MBP plugged all the time.
    Most of the time I'm on my room using my MBP fully charged and I don't disconnect it.
    Is there a problem with my batter life if I do that?
    Or it's recommended to unplug and use it till the battery run off and then charge it again?
    Because I work a lot on my MBP and that way in a simple day I could charge it and run uff the energy of the battery 2 to 3 times at day.
    What's better for the life of my battery?
    And if you could give me some advices to maintenance my battery and Macbook pro (also programs) I would appreciate it.
    I own a Macbook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2012
    2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
    With OS X 10.9
    Thanks

    No. I do that most of the time.  Perhaps monthly I discharge it to the 40% level to keep the battery happy.  Do not discharge the battery completely.  If you are forced to use only battery power and you see the battery is low warning terminate your session or plug into AC if you can.
    Here are Apple articles with official battery usage guidelines:

    I don't know exactly what the issue is, but I think I do. Are you talking about what happens when you start up your MBP, full brightness, with power cable in - and when you're using battery only, the brightness dims? If so, this is a feature designed to make sure your monitor is bright enough while using batteries - but not so bright as to cause an undue drain on power.
    I don't know about a cure to this issue, if indeed this is what you're talking about.
