Any solution to the X battery problem?

Hi all,
I´m one more of the affected for the X battery problem after the firmware upgrade. Is there any solution to the problem rather than sending the macbook to apple?
Thanks in advance, Simon.

it's definitely NOT the firmware update, as evidenced by the fact that i haven't installed either of the two recent firmware updates yet.
see the discussion in the macbook PRO threads.
they're sending me a new battery for free, and they'll do the same for you.
this is happenning to so many mb's and mbp's that it's becoming an expensive issue for apple :o(.

Any Solutions to the WIFI Grayed Problem in 6.0.1?

I tried everything
NW reset
Restore
Freez
You name it, nothing works, its a software issue since bluetooth works fine and even the WIFI used to work fine under the 5.1.1 OS, the problem is in the new update 6.0.1 OS and whats bothering me the most is that Apple doesnt seem to care

I have a MacBook Pro 2008 with 17 inch screen. Experiencing a lock up when turning on power to boot up. While booting up it goes to gray screen with Apple logo and disc spinning icon running and doesn't go to my desktop. Any solutions to the problem?

I have an early 2009 17 inch MacBook Pro that just went on the fritz. When turning on the power it will go into boot up mode to the gray screen with the apple logo, then the disc icon will be running and will continue running, not allowing to proceed to my desk top screen. It's pretty much locked up at this point where I have to do a forced shut down by holding down the power button. I've tried everything that I know of such as taking battery out and pressing power button for 5 seconds and then reinstalling battery. I've cleaned inside of computer with compressed air duster in can as well as other key commands for resets. I've read that this is a common problem with the earlier MacBook Pros. Is this a problem that I can fix or does it have to be taken in for service? Any solutions to the problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This could be a software/state problem or a hardware problem. Here are steps to resolve the former.

My two month old iphone lightning cable is corroded and not working. Any solutions to this apparently common problem on the horizon?

My two month old iPhone lightning cable is suddenly corroded and not working. Any solutions to this apparently common problem on the horizon?

You bought a used iPhone. Amazon is not an authorized supplier of iPhones, nor are any of the 3rd parties that sell iPhones there.
You can make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.
If you are very very lucky, it is still under warranty and it wasn't opened or otherwise tampered with before you bought it. In which case, Apple will replace it under warranty.
If it's not under warranty, they will replace it for $199.
If it has been opened or tampered with, they won't touch it.

Any solution to the iOS 6 bug for auto lock function for the iPhone 4S

Any solution to the iOS 6 bug for auto lock function for the iPhone 4S

My guess is they don't care. Most likely they're illiterate and don't know what a colon is for. They probably think it's a little-used character. Remember: these are the people who don't know the difference between "deprecate" and "depreciate".
I have the same colon problem as you do. But it's not the biggest problem I have encountered in Lion. If it was only that I'd be Mr. Delighted with Lion. There's worse than having a colon - uh - that won't cooperate. A lot worse, in Lion.

Is there any solution to the colon translation bug?

Mac OS X has reserved characters that cannot be used in file or folder names. One of them is the colon: It is used by the operating system in paths to designated separate directories and files, exactly as Microsoft uses the backslash character for the same purposed.
However, Mac OS X is 'supposed' to translate colons to another character when saving files from within an application or the Mac OS X Save dialog. The typical translation is to forward slash or dash. For example, "Bug: Colon Translation" becomes "Bug- Colon Translation". Of if I am saving a web page to a PDF, the source name of an article with this title would change to "Bug/ Colon Translation".
The bug: The above colon translation process does NOT work reliably in the Mac OS X Save Dialog with reliability. I guestimate that 95% of the time the translation of colons in source titles does NOT work. Using the example of translating a web article title to a PDF saved file, the results are typically the following: "Untitled.pdf". This forces the user to copy then paste in the actual title of the article. THEN, 100% of the time, the colon translation actually works. For example, if I have a web article titled "Bug: Colon Translation", it is extremely rare for that title to be anything but BLOCKED, resulting in 'Untitled.PDF' as the resulting title in the dialog box. When I then copy and paste the source title into the title area, replacing 'Untitled', I get: "Bug- Colon Translation".
What will happen perhaps 5% of the time: The colon translation of the source title will actually work. When this occurs, using my example above, the OS provides the following translation: "Bug/ Colon Translation". Note that when it works in this situation I get a forward slash, not a dash.
I research, read and save web articles all day long. A lot of articles use colons. I have to contend with this bug all day long every day. This bug is many years old. I can't recall when it started. But it certainly has been consistent in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard and now 10.7 Lion. Three versions of Lion are enough for me to realize that Apple is either oblivious to this bug or they don't care.
Clearly, the colon translation CAN work. It is MEANT to work. No one can dispute that. The user is NOT supposed to be messed over with 'Untitled.PDF' files. They are MEANT to have actual PDF file titles, as seen in our example above.
Therefore the question:
Is there any solution to the colon translation bug?
It is incredibly annoying.

My guess is they don't care. Most likely they're illiterate and don't know what a colon is for. They probably think it's a little-used character. Remember: these are the people who don't know the difference between "deprecate" and "depreciate".

Any solution to the network lost popup yet? Mine is driving me crazy?

Any solution to the network lost popup problem? Mine is driving me crazy!

With all the issues you describe, I would search for something conflicting with Mountain Lion.
Have you booted into Safe Mode and checked to see if it works correctly there? It will take a while to boot, and it will run a bit slow, so just look for the issues you described above. If they don't appear, you've got something installed that is causing the issues.

Does the IOS 5 resolve the iPhone battery problem experienced in IOS 4.3X?

Does the IOS 5 resolve the iPhone battery problem experienced due to the IOS 4.3X updates, i am using an iPhone 4 and am facing major battery drains after the IOS 4.3.3 update. Anything indication on this yet available or any feedbacks on this from the test runs? Really hoping that this is corrected after y'days IOS 5 announcement!

Not really.
Just installed the update last night and the update automatically turns ALL the apps "ON" by default so each user much check their phone's settings after each major update.
My iPhone 4's battery was running down quicker after the update. I turned off as many apps that were running in the background and checked the other settings.
I just found out that Bluetooth was turned "ON" by default, a feature I never used, so I turned it off. THIS was probably the real culprit.
The update is still too new to know if it fixed the battery life or not. Given Apple's history with battery life with the devices, don't count on it!

Has anyone found a solution to the poor battery life in Mavericks?

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has found a reliable solution to the poor battery life after updating to Mavericks. I tried to have the Mac shutdown by letting it go all the way dead and then charge it back up but it still is lousy. To literally see the battery guage go down in such a short period of time is surprising as I didn't have this in my previous OS. My machine is a five month old Macbook Pro Retina. I want to say I started seeing this change after installing the last Mail update for Mavericks. I definitely didn't encounter it after the initial update to Mavericks.
Thoughts, comments, ideas?
Ed

Read through the posts on the right side of the page under 'More Like This'. Several fixes have been mentioned amongst them. But as there was an issue in Mountain Lion that was rectified with an update then it may just be a case of waiting to see if Apple issue a solar update for Mavericks. Remember it has only been out two weeks so I would doubt that if there is an update coming for it that they would release it without thorough testing.
Cheers
Pete

Any Solutions to the 320gb WD harddrive and upgrading to SL?

Really need a solution to the 320wd hdd problem. I have one mac and really dont want to take the harddrive out and do it that way. Plus in the future i dont this hassle again when i do fresh installs.
For people that dont know the problem, everyone with a Western Digital HDD when upgrading to snow leopard cant see there hdd when asked to select drive to install to. We had no problem with 10.4 or 10.5 so why now? I think apple should assist in some way as WD our a respected company and used by many apple users. In experience there hdd's are the best out there.
What i am asking for is a practical way to upgrade to Snow Leopard, not a long winded work around that mean i have to get my screw driver out every time i fancy a fresh install!

Can you do a favor for us? Open up Disk Utility and click on your WD drive - NOT the name of your computer hard drive, but the technical name (probably WB3200....). Near the bottom of the DU screen, you'll see some information about your drive. One of these should be called "Partition Map Scheme" - does yours read GUID Partition Table? If so, then you have some other hardware issue. If it reads anything besides GUID, then that's likely to be the problem.

Any solution to the glare off the screen on my MacBookPro 13"?

Is there any solution to the glare off the screen on my MacBookPro 13"? Main usage is in photography.

Hi Richard,
I have to agree with SU. I don't want to sound flippant, but the other option would be to use it in a totally dark room. I know, not real practical. Although they say "never say never," I think it's safe for me to say, since CRTs have exited the scene, I'll never purchase anything with a glossy display.

The infamous Battery problem

I just purchased my 8th Mac -- a brand spankin' new 2.0 GHz Black MacBook for my buisness. This purchase was made to phase out my 12" 1.33GHz PowerBook G4 road warrior.
Well, the computer was purchased 13 days ago (lucky 13!) and I just ran into the same battery problem that, from what I've read, a lot of MacBook users have as well: the Battery just is not charging.
I had performed a proper battery calibration right out of the box. Further, whenever I unplug the laptop from the power supply, I like to run the battery down until I get the reserve power warning before fully charging it again.
For those of you who have gone through this before, how hard was it to swap out your MacBook for a new one? Luckily, I bought the stock MacBook from an Apple Retail store and can (hopefully) exchange it right out for a new one. I also purchased the Apple Care package (after having my PB G4's HD swapped out, the decision to spend the extra money for the Apple Care package was a no-brainer).
Thanks for your help. I'll hang up and listen.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2.0 GHz, 2GB RAM; 12" PowerBook 1.33GHz (retired)

....from what I've read, a lot of MacBook users
have as well: the Battery just is not charging.
Always, something, ain't it? Just to clarify, what do you mean by "not charging?" Is the battery dead? Does it never reach at least 96%?

Is there any solution of the battery drainage problem of iphone 4s..??

Hello,
I am by no means endorsing any app, but after a lot of searching on the internet looking for solutions. I came across an apple app pkiller, check it out, i just got it today. It kills app that are running in the background, but not the ones that are in stasis ( double click home button, e.g suspended apps). I wish this helps
Right now my phone is on standby mode
not on wifi at the moment
no notifications
no push notifications
Location services off
Wanted to see if this app really works so far im at:
1 hr 32 min standby
2 mins use
still at 100% =)

I have found a solution to 1 (of the many) battery problems!

hey, for the last couple of weeks I have been experimenting with my ipod mini (4gb) last month it had battery problems (what's new?) and it shut itself off every couple of seconds even just minutes of taking it off charge! so I searched this web site for answers, everyone recommended re setting it, I decided to not reset it anyway (as many other people said it usually does nothing)also because my friend said he had the same problem and in the end it just fixed for no particular reason! my brothers friend also said this, so I decided to 'test' my battery, for about 3 days in a row I used it everyday and charged every night, all that happened was the same thing, it said it had no battery power left, so next... I left if for about 5 days, charged it and since then it has not stopped.
so in the end its kinda left to common sense, don't charge it every single day! let it sit for about 2-3 days every week or so... my experiment may not be correct... but it worked for me, if it doesn't work for you then it may be something else that fixed it, sorry if this doesn't help...
good luck!

Probably because you were giving advice about the battery that conflicts with what is in Apple's own support pages. There is usually a link at the bottom of a locked post that gives a specific reason for the closure, but the link in your message seems to be broken, so this is just speculation.
Apple publishes a web page devoted to iPod batteries at http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipods.html
