After updating to Yosemite my battery life has decreased. Is there a way to remedy this?

While using Lion I could get up to 5 or 6 hours of battery from full and everything closed, now i can barely get more than two on a late 2011 Macbook Pro. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the software not being entirely compatible for the older hardware. If that is the case, if there is a way to revert back to lion without having to buy the OS.

Try closing apps that are running in the background by pressing the home button twice, then tap and hold an app until it begins to jiggle. Then click the "-" in the upper left corner. Do this for all apps. Then press the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the phone powers off and you see the apple symbol. This should help.

After updated firmware of E71 /Battery life is poo...

After I updated the firmware of my E71 to 200.21.118 version, my phone lack of battery life, I think the problem is mail for exchange version 2.09.158 that have conflicts with the new firmware. After the updated, my phone is always hot and my battery is no longer than 12 hours of use (before at my use 36 hours), I turn the mfe to manual and fix the problem.
Can any body helpme with my problem?.
Regards,

have you performed the three-finger hard reset after upgrading to the latest firmware version? this is often the source of problms, as giving the phone a clean slate to work with will most likely solve these battery issues. remember to backup all your data first to memory card and to computer using Nokia PC Suite as a .nbu file. after hard reset, restore everything back to your phone using the .nbu file. to perform a hard reset, turn the phone off then press the green call key, the 3 key and the * key all at the same time, then press and hold the power button.
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

No toggle between 2g and 3g ... battery life has decreased

will there b any option to toggle between 2g and 3g in future ? because till ios 8.0.2 update there is no toggle option to switch your network to 2g and in areas where 3g network is not good the battery life of iphone has decreased significantly.. including mine and many of my friends.. we have wifi at our home and we dont need any cellular data.....

It's highly unlikely. All supported carriers operate 3G/HSPA+/LTE networks. Most are in the process of completely killing off their 2G/EDGE networks.

Can anyone help me, I work on my mac air most days and would like certain folders to automatically update onto my iMac when i return home, is there a way of doing this? Many thanks.

Is there a simple way of linking the same excel folder on my imac and mac air, so as the one on my imac would automacily update when i return home, from the mac air? Fairly new to all this, so any help would be appreciated.

Open a Finder window and you should have a folder called iClouDrive in your home folder. Drag your documents or folders you want to share into this folder and it will be available on your other computer (look in the same folder).
As already mentioned Dropbox is a good solution; however, I like to use my free 5 GB from Apple's iCloud because I am not using very much space there. I reserve my Dropbox for other uses such as family photo and recipe sharing.
Good luck!

Why I can't upload photos nor update status by iOS in iPhone 5? Are there any ways to fix this thing?

I am using iOS 6.1.3 right now. But before I update my iOS, I was using iOS 6.0.2 but still I cannot upload any pictures via iOS in facebook also cannot update status in facebook. I am using iPhone 5.

Go into SETTINGS and scroll down to FACEBOOK. Make sure your login and password are there. If they are, try removing them and re-adding them.

I have an old 160 GB iPod Classic, when I plug it into my computer to update it, it connects and the immediately disconnects, is there a way to stop this from happening so I can sync it?

Does anyone have a way of making it not to do this? It will still charge and everyting off that cord. It's just really odd.

Have you tried this?

MacBook Pro Battery Life Draining After Updating to Yosemite

Hi,
I have a 2011 MacBook Pro. After updating to Yosemite a few months, I have experienced a severe loss of battery life. I was averaging around 6-8 hours on a charge, and that is now down to about 3. I have reset the PRAM, etc. and SOMETIMES that will work but not always. I typically have only one program running at a time, Chrome, but sometimes it's a mix between Chrome, Windows, iTunes. But my computer usage patterns have not changed since before/after updating. The only thing I can think of is that it is caused by Yosemite.
When I check my Activity Monitor, the apps with the highest CPU usage are WindowServer, kernal_task, and Chrome Helper. I have also disabled several plugins/features of Chrome to no avail.
Has anyone experienced similar issues or have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Is one of the 'etc.' a SMC reset?

After uploading our phones with the latest update, we have noticed that the battery life has deminished considerably. I now have to charge my phone overnight and two or three times a day. Prior to the update, my battery life lasted me at least a full day

After uploading our phones with the latest update, we have noticed that the battery life has deminished considerably. I now have to charge my phone overnight and two or three times a day. Prior to the update, my battery life lasted me at least a full day. We have several phones in our office and the ones that have updated (4) now have issue holding a charge/battery life. I really liked this phone and can not believe that you are now going to charge us $79 a battery to fix what is most definately a problem with your latest update. I know other people outside of our company that are having the same problem. Not to mention when I called AT&T it was confirmed to me that they are hearing the same issue and then some from other customers as well. Your own people, once I talked to them earlier today, told me they are showing a history of issues that are showing up after the update was put in place. Of course she tried to say, "Maybe the age of the battery and the update both contributed". Whatever.
I want you all to know how disappointed I am in your company for the handling of this issue. I always thought "Apple" was the line I didn't have to worry about having any types of issue. And that you all would stand behined your product 100%. Now I am not so sure.
I would love to hear back from your company on how you perceive the issue with all of these phones that prior to the update didn't have any issues and how after the update THEY ARE NOW having issues. I do not believe this was an issue due to the age of a battery and that was pretty lame to say so. It was fine and now its not.
Please feel free to contact me and help me figure out a way to pay for all of the batteries that will be needed for our company to contiue doing business as needed.
Thank you.

Please I cannot think of a better phone to use, and this is where apple will make or break me.

Please be more specific. What have you tried already? Please follow the below steps as described also in another topic by Nathan.
1. Hard reset hold both buttons until Apple logo appears.
2. Restore from an iTunes sync and backup. This made a difference for a lot of peopel, battery life got much better.
3. Limit push notifications (apps and e-mail accounts - set e.g. e-mail to fetch once an hour) to those you really need.
4. Limit location services to those you really need, and watch to see if the indicator comes up.
5. Get the app System Activity Monitor to look for a runaway process that is using a lot of CPU.
6. Suggestion by others to reset all settings.
7. Suggestion by others that iCloud may be involved, and to try to turn off some iCloud settings.
8. Limit or turn off 'background app refresh'.
9. Add apps back in carefully to identify an offending app that is causing CPU or network activity that kills battery life.
10 Also make sure that e-mail is fetched (e.g. every hour) or set to manual instead of pushed.
11 Do you have a good carrier reception? Have you tried to manual set your carrier within your iPhone instead of the 'automatic'?
12 Have you checked if the timezone is set to manual instead of automatic and see if this makes a difference in battery use?
In my case it was a bug with an app that caused the battery drain. I also noticed that the use and stand-by time were exactly the same which is ofcourse not correct. This was all caused by this app which was using GPS tracking all the time. Unfortunately an app such as System Activity Monitor did not indicate that in my case but someone posted this solution on a Dutch forum that the previous version of the app 'Scoupy' had a bug and caused this battery drain.
If you haven't tried every single one of these, please do not post that battery life is terrible.

After upgrading my software to 6.1.3 I feel my battery life has gone down, anyone else have this?

My battery life has considerably gone down after I updated. I will task kill all apps turn brightness down, location services off and wifi off and 6 hours later of not using my iPad it will be down 25% (to 75%). Is this normal? Has anyone else noticed this? Or is this possibly related to something besides the update.

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A." The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC. Do NOT use an iPhone charger. Do NOT use an iPod charger. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

I have had my iPhone 4s for a few months and the battery life was really good. Then around the same time I updated to ISO6 and I dropped it on the floor and since the battery life has been poor lasting only a few hours. Does anyone know why this is?

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.

Internal damage from fall or loose connector. Take it to
Apple to be checked.

After upgrading my iPhone 4s to iOS8 my battery life has been cut in half

After upgrading my iPhone 4s to iOS8 my battery life has been cut in half
Mail is 44% of the battery - I get about 300 emails through MSexchange and 25 through hotmail and .25 from cogeco.
Home & Lock Screen is 19%
Phone is 14%
Calendar 11%
Is there a bug in mail or is it just too much volume?

I see the same thing after upgrading to ios8 on my iphone 4S.
In my case, Mail is 76% of my activity. Disabling my mail accounts allows me to go back to my once a day charging routine. Otherwise, my battery runs down from 100% to 9% in 3.5 hours. I have two mail accounts. One exchange based the other is gmail.

My iPhone is about 6 months old now and I would say I don't use it that much. Yet for the last month or so the battery life has been going down and today after having charged it to 100% this morning, it was at 5% at 4 pm this aft. help!!

Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue: Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry. In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System) computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net. I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS. Its just the nature of the beast...
We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.....
Oh John.... Oh Marsha.....

What is it about the latest update that causes my battery life to be so short?

Since the latest update my battery life has gone from great to horrendous. I used to be able to get through an 8-hour day at work with no issues now I'll get low battery issues after just a few hours. I presume if I do a factory reset I'll loose all my apps and the phone will insist I redo the update. What am I supposed to do?

You should back up any music or videos, documents or files to a PC and then factory reset the phone. You can either let the reset re-install the apps and app data, or do a clean install to avoid other issues and uncheck those boxes in Back up and Reset menu in Main Settings of the phone. You can always batch install from the Play Store once you reset or you can go to the Play Store webpage, sign in and restore apps from there as well. Make sure you are fully charged to 100%.
