10.8.5 upgrade and  now the battery drain is terrible

I recently updated my MacBook Pro to 10.8.5 and now the battery drain is terrible.  Any suggestions?  I check the activity monitor and that seems to be fine.

1. Check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
2. If not, follow these instructions.
3. You can also try resetting the SMC.
4. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
5. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • Update my iphone and now the battery drains very quickly

    update my iphone and now the battery drains very quickly

    my battery started draining after 4 or 5 hours on iPhone 4 8GB with little or no use. It was suggested in some of the threads I consulted that it might be related to a server malfunction on an email account, and to delete the account, hard boot the phone, and re-install the account, Sure enough, this worked for me. Charged at 100% at 11pm and got up next morning at 6am at 100% ( turned the email push notifications to OFF as well ) The previous 2 days I would get up and there would be less 10% battery life. A few days before this problem started my email provider had a server issue with Outlook, I couldnt get emails to and from that account to load on my iphone, so I suspect that this was the problem; iphone and or email provider was still trying to get those emails and this was causing the drain.

  • Water damage to my iPhone 5s and now the battery drains quickly

    My water bottle leaked through my bag and got into my phone, when I discovered this I have no idea how long it had been sitting in water for. It wouldnt turn on so I immediately put it in rice in a snap lock bag. After a few hours it turned on again and all seemed to be fine but now the battery drains very quickly, even when no apps are open.
    I only got the phone a few weeks ago. Is this something that will be cheap to fix by apple or am I better off trying to do it myself?

    Also my finger print thing doesnt work but I can live without that, but i cant live withouth a battery

  • I dropped my Macbook Pro and now the battery is swollen, should I bring it to the genius bar?

    My Macbook Pro fell off my bed (approx. 3ft) and dented the left side of the front left corner on the battery meter. Besides the damage everything seemed okay for a little while until I kept getting a erratic curser track pad. I kept cleaning it thinking some dirty or oil may of got on it or in the edges, but long story short I found out my battery is swollen and thats the reason for the erratic curser. The drop and dent impacted the battery causing it to swell. I feel that I just need a new battery. I purchased my macbook from the apple store and still have applecare. However I've researched online a bit and saw some people posted that if you drop your macbook, Apple will void my coverage. I also read that when people have had a swollen battery and applecare, they just brought it into the Genius bar and they went to the back and brought them a new battery. I've been super nervous to go see them as I've spent the extra bucks on Applecare and did not get any use of it. If anyone has had this issue or knows about it, please let me know!!

    You can only obtain warranty OR post warranty service in the country of original purchase
    As your iPhone has user damage it has no warranty
    IF the iPhone originated from Spain or another EU country you can get out of warranty service in any EU country

  • I updated to ios 7 and now the battery does not stop charging any ideas, or have to wait for update? thanks

    To show the battery percentage used go to settings
    from there click general scroll to usage and select
    scroll to bottom of page for battery usage select on.
    This will show the icon battery and the percent numbers on the top right.
    When phone is connected to an outlet sometimes it does not always show complete charge. I do not understand why but it is what it is.

  • I updated my 4s and now my battery drains extremely quick!!!!!!

    I Updated my 4s yesterday and now my battery is draining so quickly that it is very frustrating.

    Sounds as if something damaged the phone and could possibly be shorting out the battery. Try to get a backup of the device as soon as possible and make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store to have the hardware examined.

  • If i had a crack ipod touch and went in to the store to get it fix but end up paying a 100 dollars for a new one and now the battery usage is no good what can i do

    im trying to figure out wat can i do about my ipod i got some months ago from the apple store i had a new one and crack the screen went in to the apple store to get it fix but ended up having to pay a hundred dollars to get a new one now this one shuts off to the home screen when using it and the battery keeps dieding.

    Enter the SN of the iPod here to check for warranty:
    Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
    If not under warranty you will have to pay the $99 again for a replacement.
    The AppleCare for your phone does NOT cover the iPod.

  • I stored my MacBook Air 2008 model for a period and now the battery says it isn't charging and is grayed out

    The battery is not charging and I tried the SMC reset...although I'm not sure the reset is taking because the battery is completely dead. If I unplug the power the notebook shuts off. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

    Take it to an Apple store or Apple Autorized Service Provider for a new battery.

  • Upgraded and now the dates are wrong

    Dear Folks:
    I updated from 5 to 6 and pictures taken in 2005 read 2004 etc.
    Why are the dates messed up and how do I correct them? (And not via batch changing dates manually...)
    I read earlier posts and this is not an uncommon problem. No answers to be found, tho.
    Thanks

  • Have iPhone 6 and have 8.1 now w/battery drain issues. Advised to reinstall 8.1 in iTunes. How???

    I seemed to have much better batter life on my iPhone 6 while on 8.0.2. Upgraded to 8.1 and now having battery drain issues!! Installed over the air on wifi and all seemed to upgrade fine. I've read a fix may be to reinstall on iTunes. How do I now reinstall 8.1 on iTunes when I'm already running 8.1? Any suggestions?

    In most cases the problems when switching to a new iOS version are (as I had with my switch from iOS6 > iOS7):
    - rogue app process (app not updated yet to iOS8/8.1) check Settings > General > Usage > Battery usage in percentage to determine which app is using much more battery although you haven't used it at all or much.
    - settings in e-mail receiving is changed
    - background app refresh (turn it off if you do not need it)
    - location services (look carefully which apps you want to use this feature)
    - notifications (look carefully which apps you want to use this feature)
    - Facebook app

  • I upgraded to iOS 5.0.1, and now my battery life has really deteriorated since. I was making it thru the day with about 75% left. Now it's only 3:30 pm, andI'm at 50%. Any solutions, yet!

    I upgraded to iOS 5.0.1 yesterday, and now my battery life has really deteriorated since.I was making it thru the day with about 70% battery life left. It is now 3:30 and I'm already down to 50%. The upgrade worsened my situation. Any help out there?

    I had the battery problem. I upgraded the to iOS 5.0.1 last night and at least that problem seems to have been fixed. However, the problem with no audio on phone calls remains. Have not tried swapping the SIM card yet. The ATT guy says that they have resolved 90% of the no audio issues with a new SIM card. Not sure athat what has to do with anything but will try that first before requesting a replacement phone.
