A1281 is the battery i got for my 15inch MBP. Is the battery life only 2 - 3 hours for a new battery on this device.
This is from Apple.
2 to 3 hours seems very low.
what is teh standard or advertised spec for a 15 inch Macbook Pro with this battery.
I would like to know so that i can return it if this is not normal.
Its expensive so comments would be appreciated.
I say it depends on your model? average usage is about 3-4 hours depending on what you use and how you use it. Adobe Flash player eats a lot of battery power so if you are on a web page and has flash player, likely that it's eating up battery because of it's power thirsty.
Also check your systems activity monitor. It could be possible that one of your program/apps did not close right and may be still running. So check for that and end the process if necessary.
If you have a backlight keyboard, in a broad daylight, it's not necessary to have it on.
I also suggest that you use it plugged in most of the time, and it's not going to hurt or damage the battery if you have it plugged in all the time. Only use on battery if you are going to places that has no access to the outlet. If you are at home, then keep it plugged in. Just keep in mind to fully drain the battery until it your MBP turns off on it's own. This is the calibration process so that you have the most accurate battery readings.
The standard for 2011 MBP is 7 hours on battery. Before that model is 10 hours, but i don't believe that previous models will last 10 hours. Last week I calibrated my battery readings from fully charged and it took 9 hours to completely drain out the battery (I have a 2011 model),
If you think it's not normal and that your battery doesn't meet your expectation then set up an appointment with the genius bar and have them test the battery. They will determine whether it is faulty or not.

I'm looking for a new 8 input audio device compatible with OS 10.9.
I just upgraded to a new MacBook Pro running OS 10.9 (Mavericks) and want to use GarageBand for multi-track recording and I need to find a replacement for my Presonus Firepod. It seems that OS 10.9 is no longer supporting this device. Additionally, since Apple has done away with Firewire, should I make the switch to USB? I've heard that USB 2.0 doesn't always play well with the new USB 3.0 inputs in the new MacBook Pro.
Knowing that Apple doesn't supply Firewire ports anymore I did order the Firewire to Thunderbolt dongle. What I didn't realize is that it is a 9-pin Firewire and not 6 or 4 -pin. All my Firewire peripherals are 6-pin, so I went out the day the computer arrived and bought a 9 to 6-pin cable. When I plugged everything in the Presonus Firepod wasn't recognized by the Macbook Pro and no signal came through. So I went to the Presonus website and the Firepod is listed as :
Not Supported in Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) and later versions of OSX:
FireStudio (2626)
FireBox
FirePod
FP10
Inspire
Inspire GT
FireStation
V-Fire
So my two FirePod units are useless with the new computer. I can still use them with my iMac running OS 10.6.8 but I wanted the portability of a laptop. -
I have set up another user screen on my PC (MS Windows 7) & downloaded iTunes and then downloaded the latest software version. The sync has taken over an hour so far, is this normal? It is my niece's iPod and she has her music library on her laptop but has not downloaded the latest software - does this cause a clash if the iPod is registered to a different PC? Any help or guidance in an idiots simple way would be most appreciated. JT
It is the update firmware is taking so long? It can take an hour or more for the download.
If you do the update on other than the syncing computer, all the music and apps will not be on the iPod after the update see:

when I was setting up a JAM speaker , under the blue tooth slide bar , I pushed ignore this device. Now the speaker is not discoverable....How can I reverse this action to set the speaker
Hello skywalker eyedoc,
If you chose to "forget" a device in the bluetooth settings, you'll simply need to put that device back into pairing mode (or "discovery" mode) for the iPod touch to find it once more. You may need to refer to the bluetooth speaker's documentation or manufacturer for information on how to do so.

I gave my gamecenter account to my friend but now i dont want him to use it anymore.
But he refused to sign-out so i changed my apple ID password,
Does this stop him from using my account?
Does it sign him out and asks for my new password???If You used the same Apple ID and password for Game Center that you used for all other Apple Services, yes he will need the password to continue to use the account. I can't swear to it, but I think that he will be prompted for the new password now since it was changed.

Trying to set up appointments on my calendar. When I input the time, the calendar defaults to a "one-hour" segment. How do I fix this?
To change the default event time go into Tools-Options-Calendar-General and set the duration time.
No menu bar with Tools? Press the alt key.
To be able to change the time when setting the individual event, click on the link icon to the right of the time fields. If the points of the links are touching the duration time is locked to the default. If the points are separated you can set any duration. -
I don't know why the battery life has just become so poor. I can listen to 1 song and lose 1/2% battery life. I had all the settings the same as before updating to ISO6 and now it just goes. I did drop it around the same time but I have a stong case so I don't see how this should effect it. If anyone knows how to fix it would be a great help because I used to love iPod but I am very dissapointed.

With 10.2 I can only use a system (e.g. speaker) output for audio, NOT my RME FF400 I used without any problems previously. The FF400 works fine with other apps (some like TwistedWave) setup in the program, and others (like Spotify) using system preferences & audio midi setup. How can I set the FF400 to be the sound output device in FCP 10.2? N.B. The FF400 is set as sound output device in both system preferences and audio midi setup.
From the fcp.co forum. See if this does anything for you.

I have the solution! Well it at least worked for me. This is the response I got from Apple, Can you please try the following steps towards fixing your audio issue, and report back with your results?
1. Open the application Audio Midi Setup (located in Applications : Utilities)
2. Select the Output Tab for the current output device
3. Select the Configure Speakers option
4. Select the Multichannel tab
5. Change the setting to Stereo Now mine was set to stereo but the left channel wasn't showing left. re-clicking on stereo reloaded the settings and after clicking apply it worked. -
I really need help, my ipod shows to connect to the WiFi but then it will not let me use the interent it says no connection but according to my screen i have WiFi connection, i am very confused an i would really appriciate it if someone could help me sort out this problem so i can start using my iPod for work again.
Even though the iPod shows as been connected, it might not have actually received a valid IP address via DHCP from your Wi-Fi access point or router. Head to Settings -> Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected. If 169.xxx.xxx.xxx is listed for an IP Address, then your iPod did not receive a valid IP address. To correct this you can reboot your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds.
It wouldn't hurt to also reset your iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
