Anyone else still have battery issue?

Just downloade 10.8.1. Still having issues with my battery... Just wondering if anyone else is still having issues???
Come on 10.8.2... Please help...

I have a retina mbp, and I noticed that you need to wait a while for the "time remaining" on your battery charge to display correctly. For example, on my mac it starts off with ~4hrs 30mins after a full charge, but it gradually moves up to ~ 7hrs or even 8hrs 45mins. Of course, there are other things to consider, such as your brightness settings, keyboard lights, what programs your running, etc. I achieved the aforemention time remaining by having my brightness at most halfway up, keyboard lights at most up by 3 notches, and only performing simple tasks like surfing the web.

  • Does anyone else still have this problem?

    I will hit a topic in these new discussions and half the time Safari comes back with it cannot load the page because it couldn't find the info on the server.
    Then, I rehit it and it loads. Is anyone else having this problem?
    It also seems like just trying to get around takes 2 times as long as it used to.
    Is it just me?

    Hi Joeuu
    No,maybe not Safari or FF themself but where they have browsed to,? i thought maybe a plist or dumping cache for apple. or safari FF something or other,that would help.
    Of course it might just be the newness of The new Apple Discussions.
    i don't know, we probably would of been told if it were a preference plist or cache issue ?

  • Does anyone else still have a problem using iVPN with OS X 10.8.3 and Airport Extreme?

    I am looking for help setting up iVPN. I am using my iMac, an airport extreme, and had recently purchased iVPN. I believe I input everything correct and port forward my Airport Extreme to 1732, but when the counter starts I cant access anything including email and internet. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

    I just verified that I have no issue with photobucket. I use exactly the same setup as yours except my Java security is enabled at the default level.
    Do you have the current version of the Java software installed: Java SE Runtime Environment 7 1.7.0_21. Just because you have the preference panel doesn't mean you have the runtime installed.

  • Anyone else with 30GB battery issues?

    I purchased an unopened, unused 30GB iPod the last week of September. The very day I received it, I registered the unit and purchased AppleCare protection. It became immediately apparent that my iPod wasn't holding a charge for anywhere near the 15 hours that Apple promises for this model. Before I contacted Apple, I did the requisite battery test and determined that I was getting between 8 3/4 and 9 hours on a charge. However, because it was getting more than 50% of spec, Apple refuses to fix the problem. Foolishly, I assumed that the AppleCare policy on battery life wouldn't apply to a brand new iPod.
    So, my iPod was returned with no fix and a bunch of new scratches on the screen. Last night, after I had FULLY charged the battery, I plugged it into my iBook for approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes to make some new playlists, remove old podcasts and add a few new. When I disconnected it, I found that it had lost approximately 25% of it's charge; while it was plugged in! I called AppleCare today and told them about this new issue. Their response can be summed up as " tough cheese " and they refused to take another look at my iPod.
    This is the worst, most disappointing experience I have ever had with AppleCare. I have been an Apple owner since 1988 and during that time have purchased well over $10,000 of Apple equipment and software. This is no way to repay that kind of loyalty.
    I would like to know if there are other folks who have had similar problems with their 30GB Photo iPods. If Apple advertises a product as having a 15 hour battery life, it should have a 15 hour battery life. Anything else smacks of false advertising.

    I've got a really frustrating issue:
    First, a couple of days ago the iPod wouldn't go on long enough and would shut down. I'd have to keep recharging it and it would only play for a few hours before losing all its charge (ostensibly). For instance, I'd have it charge overnight (from a shut down, black screen state), go to university in the morning listening to it, and when coming back it wouldn't be working (having gone back to shut down, black screen state in my pocket sometime during the day).
    Then it reached a point where I would recharge it, it would say it's fully charged, and when I removed it from the adaptor it would still say it's fully charged. If I pressed menu, the top-right mini-indicator would be at fully charged. Once in a while it would show the indicator at some odd level (anywhere from full, to half, to barely anything).
    I tried to run the "15 hour test" for my iPod, having wiped it and restored it: putting in an album, I started playing it on repeat at about 10 pm and woke up at 6 am to see that it had shut down, black screen (didn't even last eight hours).
    So I left it off for well over twenty-four hours. Then I charged it up again. Same problem: the fully-charged indicator won't go away. Right now I started this repeat play at about 2:15 pm, and it's about an hour away from 2:15 am and it's still going fine. So it seems the battery is okay.
    The problem, then is that the "fully charged" status won't go away in the top-right. I don't know how much charge the battery is holding or isn't holding.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

  • I have been using Firefox for many years now and really like it, now the version 4 is extremely slow, anyone else having the same issue?

    I upgraded to version 4 last week and find it extremely slow compared to the previous version - like so slow that some pages do not even load. I have downloaded and gone back to version 3.6.17 and everything is back to the normal I have known for years with Firefox and it is really fast again...so now I know that there is nothing wrong with my computer and that the supposedly very very fast version 4 is much much slower than the previous version 3.6...so what gives? I'm not keen on going back to the new improved version 4, though I know it will not be supported soon...anyone else having the same issue?

    Having the exact same problem here.
    -Mac OSX
    -3.6 worked great
    -I tried the 4 beta, got rid of it because it was so slow
    -When it upgraded to 4 is VERY slow and freezes often
    -Appears especially slow on sites with flash (ie http://www.bbc.co.uk/news)

  • Since last weekend (3-15-15) I have been unable to send/receive text messages with a friend who has Sprint service. The messages send with no errors on either side, but neither side is receiving the messages. Is anyone else having any similar issues?

    Since last weekend (3-15-15) I have been unable to send/receive text messages with a friend who has Sprint service. The messages send with no errors on either side, but neither side is receiving the messages. It seems to be only this one person affected by this issue, everyone else that I've tried sending messages to has responded with no trouble. Is anyone else having any similar issues?

    Retrohacker, Your text messages are too important to be missed! Let's figure this out, together. Are you able to successfully make and receive calls from your friend? Which phone do you have with us? Any new messaging applications or changes that you can recall on the phone since this issue began?

  • VZW Messaging app continues to crash even after update, and several re-installs. Anyone else still having this problem, and know any fixes?

    My messaging app crashes 5+ times each day, or causes my phone to lag until I restart it. Is anyone else still having these problems, even after the update?

    the vz messaging app is garbage.Thats probably why no tech support people have replied to your question yet. I had similar issues & decided to disable it. May i suggest you download 'textra' or even hangouts?

  • Is anyone else having icloud server issues today? I cant log on at all today

    I am not able to get onto icloud today. it said " icloud encountered and error while trying to connect to the server" is anyone else having the same issue?
    thx

    Somebody clearly hasn't read the User Guide.
    Basic troubleshooting steps are retart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW. 
    If you have tried ALL of these steps and you're still having problems, then you need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

  • (error code -50). Has anyone else dealt with this issue?

    When I try to copy something from my desktop to an external hard drive I keep getting this message: The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50). Has anyone else dealt with this issue?

        That is a pretty strange message. Have you had a chance to reach out to Windows Live?

  • Using Firefox, I can login and browse my financial institution (NFCU) but I cannot pay bills. When I click the bill pay tab, the tab loads 66% and then hangs. Has anyone else reported having this issue?

    Using Firefox, I can login and browse my financial institution website (NFCU) but I cannot pay bills. When I click the bill pay tab, the tab loads about 66% and then hangs (loading). I have let it load until NFCU asks me if I want to cancel the session, a much to long of a load time. Has anyone else reported having this issue with NFCU or Mozilla Firefox 3.6.18?
    I have also posed the question to NFCU, currently awaiting response and will share what was given.

    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.

  • Hi. I've tried updating one of my apps and I received this message: "there is not enough available storage to download..You can manage your storage in settings." Anyone else having this same issue?

    Hi. I've tried updating one of my apps and I received this message: "there is not enough available storage to download..You can manage your storage in settings." Anyone else having this same issue?

    Well, if you don't have enough space, then there's nothing wrong, right?
    You can check available space under Settings> General> About or by plugging it into iTunes and looking at the color-coded bar.

  • MacBook Pro 2009 problems after latest update. Anyone else got the same issues?

    Hey community:)
    A couple of nights ago I decided to update my MacBook Pro to the latest version/update. It all went fine, I installed them, rebooted it and logged into my account as usual.
    Then it all started, my finder/spotlight slowed down by atleast 50%, my videofiles both .mkv and .avi started acting funny on searching and playing generally.
    I then decided to go surf some on the web(safari), it went fine for the first minute. After that it didn't work at all, pages wouldn't start loading at all, and I had to quit the Safari.app and reboot it to even get the thing to work.
    Is there anything I can do about this, or to rephrase: is there anyone else with the same issues?

    Let's see, starting at the first reply
    @sig
    "I updated it to the latest update" as in taking the updates that was given. I'll "explain" some more: The macbook in question didn't have any new updates in atleast the last 1,5 months, as I've been working 14h++ a day with the same things and didn't really have the time to update before the 22.March. Sorry for not stating the obvious before now, but got kinda frustrated and didn't really think thorough the question, but I'm going to try give the most information I can possibly find!
    I installed these updates 22. march:
    iTunes(10.2.1)
    Mac OS X Update Combined(10.6.7)
    iWeb Update(3.0.3)
    AirPort Utility(5.5.2)
    After that update my video playback started getting harder and harder, I could watch .mkv files but I'd get more and more errors or even playback stops. The macbooks performance in finder did also start slowing down.
    The following updates was installed 2 June:
    Safari(5.0.5)
    iTunes(10.2.2)
    Snow Leopard Font Update(1.0)
    Security Update 2011-002(1.0)
    Java for Mac Os X 10.6 Update 4(1.0)
    iDVD 7.1.1 Update(7.1.1)
    ProKit Update(7.0)
    Security Update 2011-003(installed today, 1 day after the problem started fyi)
    after that update my safari stopped working properly and my playback of videos got even worse than they got after my updates the 22. March. Included with these things my finder/spotlight started getting slower and slower, until it got to where it is now with files loading atleast 50% slower than before.
    @ Baby Boomer (USofA)
    I did not use the repair permissions before 3. June(fter the latest security update)
    I simply installed the updates and got prompted with the restart from the updates, followed it and then logged in after the updates was finished with the configuring.
    I have now repaired and verified the permissions, and can't seem to find any difference in the performance of my macbook.
    @ both sig and Baby Boomer (USofA)
    Thanks for the help so far, hope I can find a solution to this without having to format and reinstall everything again
