7.0.3 battery and startup problems on ipad

Since I did the 7.0.3 update, two problems have arisen on my ipad 4.
The first is that my battery drains fast when not in use. It used to be that if my ipad were left alone, unplugged and on but not in use, the battery barely drained. But now it drains like I've been watching movies on it all day. The first day after the update, it sat on the counter most of the day unused, and it shut down because the battery completely drained out. It's been like that since. I have to turn it off now, when not in use.
Also, when I turn my ipad on, it takes forever to start up. It just sits with the apple icon on the screen and it's like that for so long, I think it's locked up. Eventually, it comes up. This happens every time.
Since I never had these problems before, I'm assuming that it's a result of the update. Prior to the 7.0.3 update, I had done the previous version 7 updates and have been using it with no trouble. So this wasn't an update from version 6 to 7. Please let me know if you have any ideas, thanks.

Two things that might help. Reset all your settings and reset the phone. Use the Settings app to reset all settings. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that helps.
As far as the battery usage, check your settings. The iOS 7 update adds new features and turns them on. You may not need all of them to be on. There are many threads in this form with suggestions for reducing battery usage.

Download, battery, and sleep problems on macbook pro with retina display after upgrading to Mountain lion

After waiting a few days to download OS X Mountain lion, I finally installed it on my new MacBook with retina display a couple days ago. I love the interface and all the new features, but I've noticed some problems I really need to resolve. I'm constantly downloading large files and I noticed thhis change:
Before, on Lion, I could download files from Safari or the Internet and the computer would sleep whenever it was set to on energy preferences and the download would resume. This would let the computer conserve energy so the download could progress further when on battery. Now, I noticed that my computer never goes to sleep! Its set to have the display sleep in 5 minutes and the computer in 15 on both battery and when plugged in, but it never does either. I don't know if it has to do with the fact that power nap is on even when using battery. So now the Mac is constantly on when downloading something and instead of downloading a one gigabyte file that would take up 15% of my battery, it takes up 60% since it never sleeps. When I tried downloading something and then manually putting the computer to sleep, the download was interrupted and it said Wi-Fi connection lost so I have to start the download over again.
That's basically all three problems in one situation. I even put the brightness all the way on low so the screen is black when downloading, but it still uses up much more battery than before. Can someone help find a solution?

Did you try turning off power nap?

Relationship between battery and overheating problems?

I have several questions related to my battery.
1) Looking at the sales page, one of the reviews says apple will replace the battery for free. I assume this reviewer is still under warrantee (which I am not, unfortunately). If there's any truth to this statement (e.g. for a while apple was replacing failed hard drives on 13" macbooks purchased around the time I bought mine. i found this out after my 3rd hard drive failure in 18 months) I would really really like to know.
2) My battery is warped. One topic here about a warped battery says to replace it immediately, but I asked the last time I was at a genius bar (for the 2nd hard drive replacement) and they said a warped battery was no problem. I asked explicitly.
3) HOWEVER, my laptop has a heating issue. I have been under the impression that this is standard for macbooks, so I didn't think much about it before my first hard drive failure. Now, I watch the temperature closely and have a program that lets me increase the fan speed, but sometimes the temperature can shoot up unexpectedly. Normally, i try to keep the temp ~60C, which is still like twice the recommended temperature. I'm afraid the heating problem precipitates the hard drive failure. On a whim, I took out my battery today and immediately the computer ran more stably around 60C temperature. If I put the battery back in, the temperature shoots right up again (say, if I'm watching a video). What is the relationship here? Is it a known issue? Is there any way to get them to replace the battery without me having to shell out $120?
For reference, here's the current battery info:
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 4526
Fully charged: Yes
Charging: No
Full charge capacity (mAh): 4559
Health Information:
Cycle count: 179
Condition: Good
P. S. I almost always run the laptop of the adapter rather than the battery -- I basically only use the battery to work when I'm traveling (several times a year) or in order to transport the laptop without turning it off (pretty much daily). I assume this is why the condition is good. Also, I've never calibrated it. Huh, also this is an interesting part of a reply from someone else's thread: "you should know that Applecare doesn't cover the battery, it is specifically excluded unless it's defective." I actually was sold the extended applecare on the premise that it only cost a little more than a new battery and I probably would need a new battery before the warrantee expired. Funny.

One could probably make the argument that the fact that the battery is bulging while system profiler says that it is still good is an indication that the battery is defective. Be polite but insistent, especially since your computer is still under warranty.

HT4623 Sound and other problems with Ipad 3 after ios 6.1.3 update

I purchased Ipad 3 last year and got problem of losing sound when I restored the Ipad throgh itunes. The sound came back automatically after I charged the device to 100%. Recently I got the same problem when the operating system was Ios 6.1.2 and then i got updated it to ios 6.1.3. The problem has not been solved while has been added up. Now the Ipad operation is slow, its either freezes and crashes frequently. Once it gets in sleep mode then it does not come back untill i press power button and home button togehter for sometime. I have checked all settings like mute and have restored the ios multiple times on two separate PCs but the problem is still there. Please help me what i need to do next.

Try a reboot of your ipad. Hold the Sleep/Wake button and Home button simulataneously. Keep holding, ignoring the red slider, until the Apple logo appears. Release the buttons and let the ipad restart. A reboot often fixes numerous problems.
Also are you aware that by suncing with a different computer it is likely the personal stuff you had on your ipad from your imac will be removed?
The ipad is designed to sync with only one device.

Hard drive, battery, and software problems

I am having a ton of problems with my macbook pro 2010
My most urgent problem is my harddrive. It was able to boot but it was a lot slower than the usual 15 seconds. Today it stayed on a white screen with a loading circle (like in the top left of the iPhone) for about 3 minutes. After that I held down the power button to restart and the boot took about a minute. After I logged in I sat staring at the pinwheel and eventually the dock popped up. I opened up the applications I needed (Safari, Preview, Activity Monitor and Evernote) and the icons just bounced for a while. When the apps opened they said I had nothing saved until I reopened the windows. I have not had a problem with that before. My HD had 66Gb free and the Activity Monitor shows about 2gb of Ram and 80-90% of the CPU free. It has also been running very slowly saving and opening files. I did a disk verification and it said that the HD is corrupt and needs to be repaired in recovery mode. I have everything backed up to time machine, but it has had alot of trouble doing even that. My recent backups have taken about 15 minutes(~500mb), most of that time spent preparing backup.
Will I need an HD replacement?
Problem number 2 is the battery. It seemed to suddenly get worse this weekend. I use my macbook for school and usually I can get through the whole day with 60 percent left. My day usually consists of taking notes or reading from an online textbook, checking news and some other web browsing. It is 9AM and I am down to 65% from 100. I even had it in sleep for about 20 minutes and that used 2%. The system info app said the battery was in normal condition but for some reason it doesnt hold a charge as well. Usually I only have 2-3 apps open and the brightness is a bit over half way.
I have a couple of minor software issues I would also like to take care of. Half the time I login I get a black screen except for the clock in the top right. When I move my mouse it reveals a normal login screen identical to my mouse movements. It is sort of like those black peices of paper that when you write on them it shows silver or somthing. When I search in spotlight it always says indexing at the bottom. Doesnt affect anything but it is weird. Last thing is that sometimes when I download somthing it says my disk is full. That might go long with it being corrupt but it is very annoying because i have to try it again a few times before I can use the file. As i mentioned before I have 66gb free and this can happen with simple pages docs

Open Disk Utility>First Aid and run 'Verify' and 'Repair' Disk. That may solve that problem.
Regarding the battery, see if any of the information contained in this article will help:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1446
Your software issues may be a reflection of a corrupt HDD. Attend the to internal HDD and then see if the software issues still persist.

Strange Battery and Startup goings on!

Hi
Ive got an old G4 667mhz laptop running 10.3.9. Recently Ive been experiencing some strange battery behaviour. I seem to get low battery warnings even though the % shows its above 50%. The most noticeable glitch is that I'm often unable to boot up the laptop without it being plugged into the mains - unless the battery has been recently charged.
I'm guessing (hoping) its a battery problem - although I guess buying a new battery will probably be the same cost as the whole machine
many thanks for your help
and a happy new year to you all!

The battery level indicator can get out of whack sometimes I have heard, this I was told happens more if you don't run the battery charge down all the way and just run to half and recharge, run to half and recharge.
Try running the battery all the way down and charging it up a few times. Sometimes it helps things.
That said its possible that your battery is just getting into its latter days and is nearing the end of its service life. (If this becomes the case remember to properly dispose of the battery when its done please)
Some after-market batteries will also give you longer running times then the Apple ones now.
Also this is the G4 PowerMac forum you will probably get more PowerBook related help in the Power Book Forum

[SOLVED] linux-grsec on macbook pro 9,2 - battery and network problems

I have a macbook pro 9,2 on which I am dual booting OS X and arch. I am using xfce as my DE on the arch installation. Since installing and switching over to linux-grsec, my system seems unable to detect the presence of a battery (specifically my arch system - OS X still detects my battery just fine). The xfce battery monitor panel icon sits at 50% and does not change regardless of whether AC power is connected or not. Xfce power manager can detect whether or not the computer is receiving AC power, but does not show the existence of a battery. Running
# acpi -b
yields an empty output, as does running
# dmesg | grep -i battery
These methods all properly detected my battery prior to the installation of linux-grsec. I was unable to find any similar problems via google or the arch forums, and find myself at a loss for where to look to learn what I need to do to resolve this. I would very much like to avoid returning to the default kernel, if possible. I appreciate any assistance that you can offer, though if given a choice I would prefer the means to figure out the answer over the answer itself.

Update:
Regarding the battery: I have determined that the update I performed had nothing to do with the detection of my battery. Arch detects my battery when AC power is connected during bootup (and continues to detect it even if I remove AC power after bootup), and does not detect my battery if AC power is not connected during bootup (and continues to not detect it even if AC power is connected after bootup). I did not notice before because by coincidence I started using my macbook without the power cord attached at the same time that I installed linux-grsec. Now that the problem is more clear and specific, I am migrating it to its own post found here.
Regarding bandwidth usage: Conky and Network Manager failing to display bandwidth usage actually occured immediately after switching to linux-grsec, I just did not notice this failure at first. The problem ended up being quite simple. Unbeknownst to me, linux-grsec changed my wireless interface name from wlp2s0 to wlp2s0b1. Network Manager and Conky were therefore failing to display bandwidth usage because they were both using wlp2s0 instead of wlp2s0b1. Correcting the interface name in .conkyrc and the network applet settings fixed the problem.

Pavilion Dv7 7023cl: Battery and networking problems.

Hello. My Pavilion Dv7 7023cl has been going downhill for the past few months, but I've been planning on purchasing a new hard drive for it, since my current one is failing. However, I'll get to the point. For some reason, and some how, the battery is locked into place, with the slider pushed all the way right. There is an orange picture of a square with an arrow to the extreme left. I need help fixing this since I need to clean the fan vents, as the computer is reaching 82 degrees Celsius... The second issue is that the internet key is showing an orange light. I've tried resetting the BIOS settings, rebooting, and pressing every single key on my keyboard. Still no luck. The third is that it's overheating often, regardless of if the vents are clean or not. It may possibly be the fan, but... Unfortunately, the computer is not under warranty anymore. Here are the specifications:The processor is an AMD A8-4500M APU with Radeon HD graphics. It claims to be 1.9 Ghz, but it always run at 3.0. It's not overclocked.I have 8GBs of R.A.M. with only 2GBs left. Don't ask me how.It scores a 5.9 on the Windows Performance Index, based on the 5.9 rating of my Disk Data Transfer Rate.4 cores, 4 logical processors.

DV 9000 series has same problem. Apparently so do most of their Laptops. My wife and kids have all been burned by haveing the system on their laps. I only use at a table and had to build a special base to raise the system off the table
to allow all vents to be clear 2 inches.
I had them send me restore disks for other reasons. Now my bios says "Not Vista".
If I was you, I would cut my loses and move to an other manufacturer. get the extended warrenty and keep it up to date
Hp is no longer even on my list of possible product purchases. Their products and if you want that, support service, suck.

Please fix battery and slowdown problems with ios4.3.1(8G4)

similar to the cases other users facing, my iphone4 with ios 4.3.1 consumes 30% of battery overnight with all apps closed. it also became super slow when gaming (other apps closed) and responseless when surfing.
Really bad experiences, please fix them!

You are posting in a user-to-user help forum. It's not a bug reporting forum or a complaint forum. If you have problems or suggestions for Apple report them at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
From what i've seen your experience with 4.3.1 on your phone isn't typical. You should do a clean install of 4.3.1 to see if this clears up your performance problems.

Firmware Update 1.7 drains battery and causes problems for sound

I have a Macbook Pro early 2011 with a SSD. After installing Firmware 1.7 I saw the beach ball over and over even after rebooting... this problem got resolved after I plugged in power cable and is now gone even when it is running on battery. But the sound of my MBP goes randomly on/off when I plug in/out my headphones and the worst problem is that prior to the 1.7 I got up to 5 hours of battery but now only 2:30 hours. I've only 470 cycles of my battery. Resseting the SMC didn't help and unfortuaneltly there is no way of downgrading the firmware. What should I do?? This is definietly a firmware problem which supposedly was released to solve a rare battery problem on some machines not to cause problems on others.

I am seeing this problem as well.
Before the SMC Update 1.7 the battery was fine. After, it hibernated within a half hour of use on battery. Upon wake-up the Service Battery warning is in the battery menu, and the time remaining calculation has gone from several hours at a full charge to less than 10 minutes.
My battery is original MacBookPro8,2; I rarely work on battery, relying on it mostly to keep my computer going while asleep during a half hour commute to/from work. System Information's Power tab reports
Cycle Count: 19
I plan to try a battery calibration soon; if that fails, then the Apple Store.

Battery and charging problems.

So I have had my iPhone 3G for roughly a year now. I have started to notice that my battery is losing life quicker. Not only that, but last night my usb wall charger stopped working and I have to charge my phone through the computer, which I hate doing. Has any one else experienced these problems? If so, how did you fix them?

I followed the articles and advice on the troubleshooting tips on the apple.com website to help extend battery life. There are several settings that can be turned off. My problem is that my new phone battery is only lasting a few hours (and that's without use). I have had this problem now with 2 different iPhones - and the apple store has thought its been a "runaway app" as the usage time has been really high even when I haven't used the phone. So frustrating because my new phone does not have any apps loaded on it except for what came on it. I'm trying to figure out if I'm not charging it correctly (but it indicates that the battery is full!).

N96 Software v30.033 Battery and Calendar Problems

Earlier this month I upgraded the software on my Nokia N96 to v30.033. Prior to this my battery life was sufficient to get me through an entire day.
Since I upgraded, the battery life has dropped, and now by 5pm I'm down to 4 bars. I have not increased how much I use the phone. I have also checked that all the options for wi-fi, bluetooth and other things that use a lot of power are as they were prior to the update (in case any of them had been reset). I have even gone as far as to replace the battery, thinking that it might just be my original battery wearing out, but none of these have solved the problem.
Has anyone else encountered this and how did you solve it?
The second problem is to do with the calendar. Prior to the update it would display the next 5-6 entires in my calendar, no matter how far in the future they were. Now it will only display 2, and only if they are happening either today or tomorrow. Does anyone know how to change it back to the way it was?
Finally, how do you turn off the bloody annoying "swoosh" noise the phone makes now when you slide it open?

I haven't notices a big change in power consumption, but I am a heavy user and I always have the phoen on charge whrn I'm in the car, so maybe that's why.
The (I agree with you) annoying noise can be shut off as follows:
Menu>Tools>Settings>General>Personalisation>Themes>Audio themes>Phone handling events and then change both opening slide and closing slide to 'silent'.

IMac G5 Screen and Startup Problems!

I purchased my iMac G5 in August 2005. I have had it for 4 years now and have never had problems with it. Last week, while the screen saver came on, the computer suddenly froze. I shut it down manually by holding the back button and turned it back on. The fans run loud and fast and the screen remains blue. It doesn't load to the home screen. I have restarted it, shut it down numerous times and nothing happens. The screen display glitches and makes weird, distorted color patterns. It doesn't respond at all. It does this each time. My computer seems like it broke! I have a lot of pictures, music, and important files on this computer and cannot access them at all! My warranty has expired also. Need help!!!!

Mine is doing almost exactly the same thing, and it also froze the first time while the screen saver was on. I suspected a software issue, and have gone so far as to wipe the hard drive (erase, plus zero all blocks w/disk utility), and reinstall the OS fresh and it still does it. The hang occurs just as I get to the blue startup screen, but before the "Loading Mac OS X" box & progress bar shows up. I also get the display glitches from time to time, but not all the time.
The one small bit of relief is that I am able to consistently get the machine to boot completely in safe mode, but not "normally." Any advice on what may be going on here?
To College Kid: try starting up your iMac in safe mode - hold down shift until the "gear" starts rotating under the Apple logo on the startup screen. That was how I was able to get mine started up to get the data off before I wiped the drive.

Battery and heating problem

Hi, recently my macbook has been heating up fast. Real fast, within 5 minutes of starting up my macbook, i can hear the fan running at high speed. And my battery life has significantly been shorten as well. At full charge, it can last me to a maximum of 2 hours. Anyone can help? I got my Macbook in 2007.
