After 10.5.3 update the battery drains REALLY fast

I had a full battery charge yesterday and used it unplugged for 30-40mins then put to sleep. When I woke it again from sleep 8 hrs later it had no charge at all.
I know seem to get about 40mins of power before it's low on battery.
For comparison, I used it for 2hrs the day before on a train journey so it's not the natural deterioration of the battery.
Also, the fan now seems to come on a few minutes after turning on and I haven't yet started doing anything intensive.
Anybody else experienced this problem?
Thanks,
Oscar

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
Try this and check.
Before you start with the reset, connect your mac to a power outlet. Do not use battery power
*Resetting PRAM and NVRAM*
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.
Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models.
Resetting the SMC can resolve some computer issues such as not starting up, not displaying video, sleep issues, fan noise issues, and so forth. If your computer still exhibits these types of issues after you've restarted the computer, try resetting the SMC.
To reset the SMC on a Mac Pro:
1. From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
2. Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
3. Wait at least fifteen seconds.
4. Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time. Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
5. Press the power button to start up your computer.

Why is the battery draining so fast?

Everything in safari is shut down, all multi-tasking is turned off too. My phone is only 7 months old & has worked fine up until today when I noticed the battery draining so fast.

@ neeraj_96 - Thanks for the input, but that's not the issue. As I was saying in my reply, my phone has had a wonderful battery life up until yesterday. This has nothing to do with turning off fetching or lowering my brightness. I have done no major changes in the settings to my iPhone since yesterday, but now all the sudden I can barely hold a charge. I completely charged it last night to 100%. This morning I woke up and it was at 56%. My wife has an iPhone 4, hers was at 96% and this morning it is at 91%. Something is definitely up with my phone's battery that is not a normal operation.
I have tried to do a complete reboot of the phone (holding the power button and the home key down for 10 seconds) and that has not solved the problem. I would suspect that it's an application running in the background, but I figured, as @williamformlouisville stated, that would have killed any rouge application draining my battery, but it has not helped. This is definitely not normal for this phone's operation.

The Battery Drain SUPER Fast!

Hello Guys! I just bought my Xperia Z2 Two Days Ago and I found an issue about that my battery drain really really **bleep** fast and it also felt hot! In Normal State my phone can just only last for 8hours or less with my many things turned off,even if I turned on Stamina Mode it doesn't make any better too,it can only last for 1day or less!
Can anyone help me or tell me what to do?

first thing to check is what is consuming your battery. The other day I found that the facebook messenger app had gone rogue (as I hadn't logged into it yet, so it was continously updating behind my back in the background draining the battery by keeping the CPU running at full speed).
First thing is always to check your battery usage to see if something stands out.
If you don't know how to do this, go to settings (if you don't know how to do this, pulll down notification shade, touch quick settings in top right, and press settings button).
Press the Power Management Option, and scroll down to battery usage.
Screen should probably be main culprit along with google search. Cell standby may be high if you are in a bad area, or if you are continously running 4G.
Is anything coming up?

New MacBook Air 13´´ - battery drains really fast

So I bought yesterday MacBook Air 13´´. I assumed it was going to be fully or half charged but the battery was dead when I opened the computer. Then I put it on charge and it took about 2-3 hours to fully charge it. After that the battery started to drain really fast, and I didn't expect that. I supposed MacBook 13´´has a battery which could last for about 13 hours, but this is to strange. I don´t have experience with Mac, this is my first Mac, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
P.S. I updated OS X cause App Store said there's an available update. Don´t know if that has anything to do with it.

I´m currently in Germany and I´m flying back to Croatia tomorrow. So I won´t be able to do that. :/
I´ll try to drain battery to 0%, then recharge it again. I read somewhere that could help for first time charging and recharging.
Don´t know is it normal for Mac to come with drained battery?

IPhone 4 battery drains really fast and phone gets really hot

I have an iPhone 4 and since November 15 my battery has been draining really fast and gets really hot when I use the phone. When I try to charge the phone with my computer it doesn't charge, but only charges with the wall hub. I have tried deleting the email accounts, deleting all apps, restoring with the backup, restoring without the backup, and still no luck. I went to the Apple store and they briefly looked at it and said it had water damage by looking at the water damage indicator in the charging port. They told me I needed to pay $150 for a new phone. I don't recall getting my phone getting wet and it seems to work fine except for the battery drain and the computer charging problem. iTunes still recognizes the phone. I thought it was a battery problem so I ordered a new battery and replaced it myself and the battery was still draining fast. When I had the phone open the other water damage indicators were still white (no water damage), it was just the charging port indicator that was red (water damaged). Also, when I charge my phone with the wall hub it charges very slowly. I have ran out of ideas and I could really use some suggestions. Thank you.

i looked on the right there is no solution to my problem.i charge my phone to 100% after 2 hours with no usage at all of the phone with 3G off with wifi off with all applications shut down all notifications and locations off battery goes down to 50% when it was running on the older ios never had this problem in my iphone.when will this problem solved

Hi eyen83,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you're not able to make calls on your iPhone, try these troubleshooting steps first:
iPhone: Troubleshooting issues making or receiving calls
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3406
Follow the steps below to resolve this issue. Please test after each step.
Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
Check your phone settings:
Check your Do Not Disturb settings: Tap Settings > Do Not Disturb.
Check for any blocked phone numbers: Tap Settings > Phone > Blocked.
See if Call Forwarding is turned on: Tap Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding.
Ensure that your software is up to date:
Check for a carrier settings update.
Check for an iOS software update.
Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
If the iPhone has a SIM card, reseat the SIM card.
If the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s is on the Verizon network, dial *228 from the iPhone and select option 2 to update the Preferred Roaming List (PRL). The PRL determines the cellular towers the phone uses for cellular service, selecting those with the best signal strength.
Reset the network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Try to make or receive calls in another location.
Attempt to isolate to one network band:
If you're having the issue on LTE, disable LTE, if possible, and try again.
If you're having the issue on 3G/4G, disable 3G/4G, if possible, and try again.
Contact the carrier to check the following:
Your account is properly configured to use the specific iPhone that has the issue.
There are no localized service outages.
Your account doesn't have a billing-related block.
Your calls don't have errors on the carrier system.
Restore the phone as new.
If the above steps don't resolve the issue, go to an Apple Retail Store, carrier, Apple Authorized Reseller, or contact AppleCare to send the phone in for service.
Cheers,
- Judy

I dropped my iPhone 5s (with a otter box) and the rear camera just stopped working. It also now starts to over heat near the rear camera and the battery drains very fast.

I dropped my iPhone 5s on the floor on accident. Of course I have a otter box on it, but when i picked it up, the rear camera stopped working. Also the area around the rear camera started to overheat. I was so hot that it you touch it it will burn you. The battery also started to drain very fast.

You broke it. That seems pretty obvious. A case, including the otter box, is not a magical force field that can protect your phone from the force of gravity.
make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement will cost you $269.

I have an older iPod Touch. I charge it but the battery drains real fast. Is there a fix for that?

I have an older iPod Touch. I charge the battery but it drains real fast. Is there a fix for this? How much would it be to replace the battery? I love my iPod but the battery is always dead.

Hello,
I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation, running IOS 6.1.2. I understand you are having problems with your Ipod/Ipad/Iphone, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
Its an Old Ipod, give me a break... just get a new one, or leave it always plugged in
You could also get a new battery (but its not worth it... just buy a whole new unit)

My battery drains really fast on my 2011 MacBook Pro after upgrading to Mavericks

What can I do to fix the battery

1. Check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
2. 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.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

IPHONE 5s Battery Draining Really Fast

Hi, I have a Iphone 5s. The phone charges really slow, and dies really fast. I am barely on it now since this happen. I tried restoring at home, and also resetting. I took a trip to Apple two days ago, and they ran the diagnostic. He said the battery is healthy but something is wrong with the firmware or software. After he restored it but it still is doing the SAME thing. Could I fix this issue?

Take it back to the Apple store and tell them that didn't fix the issue. You might have a hardware issue. Before you take it back though do a backup on your computer.

I just got an iPhone 5 64 gb model and the battery drains extremely fast even after tweaking the phone to save battery power anyone else having the same issue!?

Should I take it to the apple store?

Try these steps as needed.
1. Reset iPhone (no data loss): Press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
2. Restore in iTunes using a backup (no data loss)
3. Restore in iTunes as new (without using a backup)
Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software

My iphone 4 upgraded to ios6.1.2 and the battery drained very fast.

ios6.1.1 seemed much better than 6.1.2. The new version is a disaster for battery.

Did you perform the upgrade by plugging in your phone and upgrading through iTunes? I had the exact same issue happen before because I did the upgrade through WiFi. I spoke to an Apple representative and they said that upgrading over WiFi can sometimes cause this issue. To check if you had the same problem as me, go to Settings, General, Usage, and scroll to the bottom. Look at the section called "Time since last full charge" and you'll see "Usage" and "Standby". If those two numbers are equal, they shouldn't be unless you are constantly using your phone...
Unfortunately, the only way to fix this issue is to restore your iPhone via iTunes (if you have the problem I described). However, you you back up your phone prior to restoring it, you should not lose any of your data, but all of your settings will be reset to default.
I hope this helps.

IPhone 5 Battery draining really fast?!

My iPhone 5C** is a week old. Brand new out of the box.
Lately it drains 10% of battery while on standby in 4 hours. That's too much battery loss for 4 hours. My iPad 1 can last longer while in standby. I've left it various times on 7% and after 24 hours I find it on 3% and at that rate I doubt the iPhone can go 250 hours on standby...
How is it that one of the first iPads can last longer than a brand new iPhone 5C?
I always have Cellular Data and 3G disabled because I don't need them.
I have iOS 7.0.4
Any suggestions? I've followed various tips like disabling Background App Refresh.
<Edited by Host>

Hey, I have the same problem, I am using iPhone 5S and lost my original charger, so used a fake charger for a while until it broke down and messed up my battery I guess, now my battery is running out approx. 3 times faster. I checked battery battery capacity using "iBackupBot for iTunes" and it shows that it is 1500 and original is 1550 so it should be all right. I still have warranty, my phone is almost 1 year old, but when I talked to service they checked my phone and said that there are no problems, try to reset your phone. But it does not help. I have to charge it 3times a day.. I just bought an original Apple charger and it does not help either. Help !
