Battery capacity going down way too fast

So problem is that my mbp 13" is about 2 weeks old and battery capacity seems to going down too fast. I only have 2 cycles and I did calibration 4 days ago. When I bought it, it was like 5770 or smth and now it's 5500. Think it's normal or maybe it's just wrong info there?

Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Hi! everyone, I'm here to say : Wow! my battery is going down a lot fast.

, and I though it was my device , but recently i made a research and i could find some other people than have the same problem .
I have the problem with my Iphone 4s , and I beg apple could fix that problem out please maybe in a new update with the ios or something .

first, chrome is using up most of your battery life.
second, open activity monitor, under all processes, see what's using up most of your CPU's resources. highlight the ones using the highest % CPU and hit quit process.
also see what you have loading in your login items - delete the ones you don't need.
optional - open disk uitility and verify disk permissions - repair if needed - this might take an hour or two depending on the amount of errors found.
as for your battery, you can leave it plugged in all the time if you want to. this will not hurt your battery since it will stop charging once it's fully charged.
also, once in a while, use your battery under it's own power and when it's down to 80%, plug it back in and charge it back to 100%. This will keep your battery in optimal condition.
once a month, let it run down to 20% and charge it back up.
never let your battery run all the way down to 0. this can do more harm than good to your macbook.
good luck.

U410 display and system shut down way too fast when inactive

Hey guys,
the display of my u410 shuts down when I am afk for more more or less one minute and shortly after the system goes into energy saving mode (don't know how to say that in English, its the same thing that happens, when I close the lid).
Due to my energy management settings this shouldn't happen for at least 5 minutes after last action in battery mode and not at all in plugged-in mode and it still does.
When watching a film it doesn't happen but sometimes while watching a youtube video on full screen, and all the time when not on full screen.
It also happens when I'm downloading stuff and clearly don't want to sit in front of the laptop for over an hour moving the mouse every now and then just to make sure it doesn't turn itself off, because then the download gets interrupted.
Would be awesome if somebody could give me a quick hint how to fix this!!!

Hi, I have an iPhone 5s, recently its been a lot hotter than usual, also the battery life is going down a lot faster than usual, and it takes absolutely ages to charge up. There must be a serious problem with the battery, any ideas? thanks

HT4060 I'm having some problems with my ipad and charging it. I am having to leave it in charge for a lot longer, but when I take it out and want to use it the battery is still not completely full and goes down a lot faster than usual

I'm having some problems with my ipad and charging it. I am having to leave it in charge for a lot longer, but when I take it out and want to use it the battery is still not completely full and goes down a lot faster than usual. The other day, I had charged my iPad overnight so that I could take it to university with me for the day, and when I had switched it on the next day the battery was on 5% and I had not used it since charge.

Your battery may be dying. THey are only good for so many charges/discharges. If you have an apple store near by make an appointment and have them check itout

Down scroll too fast?

I used to think it was just Aperture, but I noticed it today in the Character Map when scrolling, I tap on the down arrow button and sometimes I do something where the systematic tapping process is overridden by some super speed motion and the contents start scrolling rapidly, way too fast and all by themselves.
I find this really annoying, have I got sticky keys on or something? I would like this to stop, is it possible?

You can set Scroll Speed from your >System Preferences>Trackpad>Scrolling Speed.

In Logic X, the mouse click wheel scroll is way too fast on the arrange window and the piano roll. Is there a way to adjust this?

In Logic X, the mouse click wheel scroll is way too fast on the arrange window and the piano roll. Is there a way to adjust this? This is the way I scrolled for MIDI editing on Logic 9

Hi cris2121, assuming you're using a mouse from apple, go to >System Preferences<
it's here where one can configure a mouse device.
Additionally you can also configure Scrubbing in Logic: "When in scrub mode, you can slowly move the playhead in the Tracks Window and the Audio (and optional MIDI) will be played back. The playback speed depends on how fast you move the Playhead in either direction."
Have a nice day!

Fan goes on way too much

The fan on my MacBook goes on way too much when I'm on the internet using Safari or Netscape. Why does this happen? It's cranking up right now while I typing this.....my old Mac never did this.

Check your activity monitor and see if there is anything running in the back ground you don't know about. You could also try resetting the PRAM and PMU

Imported video is way too fast!

i'm using iMovie for the first time and I've been noticing all day that the video files I imported seem a little too fast. I compared them to the original videos, and guess what- the sound is sped up too! all the voices are a little too high-pitched and the video is a little too fast. At least the sound is in synch. But everyone sounds a little Chipmunky.
I have no idea what the frame rate for the original video files are, so I don't know how to fix it.
Someone please help! This is driving me nuts!

Hi honeybadgers
If you click on a clip and bring up the inspector for clip/video/audio, the third section has "Speed" control where you can slow down or speed up the clip. Slow the speed of the clip and the sound should become right too.
Good luck

IMovie import plays WAY TOO FAST!

I am importing video from a DV (Sony DCR-HC96) straight into iMovie. The transition is smooth and recorded content plays in normal time from DV camera. During transition, the video appears in normal speed on the Mac.
However, when the import is completed -- and I try and PLAY the video on my Mac (MacBook Pro), the speed of the movie is SCREAMING FAST (16x-20x too fast.)
Anybody feeling smart about this?
Would really(!) appreciate your help....

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
When you say "transition" I think you mean "import" ..the process of passing the video from the camcorder into iMovie. (..A "transition" is generally something which you apply in iMovie; a means of changing from one video clip to another via a 'cross-fade' or a 'dissolve', etc..)
The specifications for this camera, on Sony's page (click on that blue link) and on Amazon's page both mention..
"..Progressive Shutter System
A mechanical shutter system that provides progressive scan performance while utilizing an interlaced scanning system. Digital still images will be sharp and clear with excellent definition."
If you've shot your movie(s) using progressive recording (..using a shutter speed marked 'p', such as '30p' or '24p'..) then iMovie may play it back faster than normal. This is because iMovie normally expects DV to consist of two 'interlaced' fields of video (two sets of lines which each make up half-a-picture) instead of single full frames of video.
(..On the other hand, the "progressive" in the specifications may refer only to still photos; it's not easy to tell from the descriptions whether or not the video may be shot as progressive, too..)
If it's NOT playing fast because you've shot progressive video ('p') instead of interlaced video ('i'), then I can't think of a reason just now why it'd be playing fast ..sorry.

IPhone 4S battery discharging Way Too FAST

Hello,
to my utter disappointment the battery life or better the life of a charge of the iPhoone 4S battery is deplorably short. I have read all the negative comments and I had been forewarned by the salesperson that the this might happen (he works part time for the phone company that sold me the phone and part time freelances setting up iPhones for corporate use. And in his experience battery life varies greatly depending on if the battery was treated correctly at the factory, what version battery it was etc. And in his opinion the quality of the components Apple builds into it's hardware (harddrives, batteries etc.) are not cutting edge at all – as one might expect taken all the hubbub Apple creates around it's products – but cheap run-of-the-mill stuff.)
So, I feel a lot like Apple does not live up to it's self-created reputation and standards of delivering top-notch hard- and software – for a hefty price, that is.
I have disabled as many of the location-based services as possible, only activating them as needed. I have turned off any and all of the auto-update, selfcheck, -connect etc. features. I do not receive emails, I do not Twitter, Facebook or whatever Social Media stuff to save energy. Still, the battery discharges at a ridiculously fast pace. E.g. a reminder message (displaying on the startup screen as soon as I unlock the iPhone – unused all night): 25% of the energy level is being used up by that. A lot of the fancier apps using location based services or GPS apps are depleting the battery within an hour or even less (hiking, biking, jogging appps). So a lot of the much vaunted versatility of the iPhone falls short for me because I cannot use those apps without wasting too much energy.
As I said before, I am very disappointed!

We've been to the Verizon store on Mary Esther cutoff in Ft Walton Beach three times now. The first time they said to make sure no apps were running and eliminate those we didn't need. We did that. The second time we were met by a person who told us no one had that problem and it was Apple. The manager then came over and was very nice, suggesting we try to backup the phone to our laptop, reset the phone to factory, and restore. We've done that three times. We've also tried renaming our router access point twice.
We go today and tell the female rep that we still have the issue. She says no one at Verizon has ever heard of it and there's nothing they can do. I ask if we could get another phone since it was under warranty (April 10 was our anniversary) when we first brought it in, or replace it with the insurance we pay $8.18 per month for. She said no on the warranty, and sure for $169 deductible. She threw it back on Apple. Clearly not happy customers. If I didn't have a year left I'd be swapping providers today.

NOW! Some points for new and old customers of the battery problem. Hopefully I can give you my individual feelings and let you see better of your own battery problems.
I have had my MBP 2.4GHZ since 1 Sep last year, so not very long at all. Me and the GF bought apples(she got the macbook 2.16 in white).
Personally, I thought I'd try the mac thing, and to be honest, and im being honest, it does not suit as me as well as Windows at all. Even itunes seems to be quicker on windows using the same hardware (bootcamp XP pro).
Anyway, My three and a half thousand dollar Macbook has been behaving Like crap. Its all 'judders on the main page, when I scroll through the doc. It is temperamental anywhere but home connecting to the internet. So i have re installed Leopard, yes i bothered, but more so for boot camp.
And now battery problems.
How come the Macbook will just CUT/Power STRAIGHT OFF while im using it even though its plugged in? Now i did the SMC thing, and the recharge cycle thing... And now when i looked down to see if it was a charging, the LED (green/orange one) was not even on, even though the screen was indicating it was charging.... As you can see my battery is very new with 84 cycles.
Whats the story because im all up for loyalty guys, but if i spend big money for example on a BMW, because I like the style and quality, im going to be pretty ****** when it acts like a commodore and smells like cab.
What going on, why are their so many issues with this iCrap.

You need to elevate and throw a fan on that thing. When you are playing "Gears" the fans are going to be extra loud. My book explodes when I game on it. It, however, has never hard crashed. You could try to test your cpu temps with SMCfancontrol. Plus you can custom the use of your fans. Crank the fans and run http://www.coolbook.se/CPUTest.html
Check your temps at their hottest and post back.
Your processors may be manufactured faultily. Too much thermal grease, weird fan issues etc.
Who knows?
Thermal shutdown (I think) is somewhere in the 100ºC range. Someone?
Then they shut off.
If they are maxing at 70-80ºC, I think that is considered normal with the Macbook Pros. Even though it is pretty high. At least for the merom Core 2 Duo's.
Gears of War is also running on an emulated software layer (In Leopard), I think. So the macbook works a bit harder at it than a straight XP notebook.
You should really install Windows via Boot Camp for gaming imo. The frames are WAY better and are pretty much pound for pound the same as a similar XP rig. DirectX just spanks OS X in games.
The Macbook pro will do it, why not?
And if the battery has been taking all this heat you should really get it replaced.
It has been flakey enough. And you can scratch that off the list of possible culprits.

My macbook pro broke down way too many times!

Hi
I bought my macbook pro in 2007 so it's been 3 years and my applecare is ready to expire.
and within that 3 years, my macbook pro has gone to get it fixed for more than 6 times. Anything that you can imagine, broke down.
Logic board, fans, speakers, keyboards, usb plug-ins, software issue, hard drive broke down twice, battery replaced, charger replaced, screen replaced, my screens bent due to heat, part of my comp is melted due to heat too, and etc.
I study graphic design in university right now. and this piece of junk is hunting me everynight because these problems happen over night. I would turn my computer off ok, and when I wake up, somethings always wrong. I'm always scared and backing my stuff because I don't know when this piece of junk will break down.It's really stressing me out.
Today, I woke up and turned my macbook pro like usually, and my screens black but everything else is running. Again, another fixing problem (heard that its due to the nvidia graphic issue)
so I am really upset and ****** off more so. I've gone to the applestore at least 10 times already and everytime I go, they are very cold and rude to me.
so I talked to the manager last time when my computer broke down saying, I am really upset and ****** off about your customer service and this stupid junk. I lost alot of my files and was late to submit my works due to this stupid junk. What are you going to do? and all they said was I'm sorry we understand. Clearly they dont understand. and I saw alot of my friends who got new laptops after breaking down once with similar problem as mine. but why am I not getting a new laptop? is there a way to fix this problem? or am I gonna live with this comp till i buy a new one?
please help me.

I would tend to agree with your points here. (Except that it is not "a piece of junk").
My macbook pro is also from 2007 (august) and has had a number of different problems - mostly due to overheating.
Added to these problems in Ireland is that Apple do not have an official mac store here ... so it has to go to a service provider each time. That's more than likely 1+ weeks away each time it needs to be sent away for repair.
One time I sent it back they replaced the screen with the incorrect resolution so it was away for almost 3 weeks in total. When it got back the screen squeaked when I was opening it. I called Apple (luckily I have 3 year applecare) but they told me to deal directly with the partner service provider. I didn't feel this was acceptable because I purchased the Apple Care from Apple - not the service provider.
I almost had to pay for shipping each time but I argued with them on the phone. I don't feel this is acceptable level of service.
After the third time with something broken on my MBP I requested a new machine. They ignored me.
I disagree that the MBP is "a piece of junk". It is not. But it does have problems. Overheating seems to be its biggest problem and that leads to other faults. The thing that Apple does not seem to see is that the overheating leads to long-term damage but by the time this long-term damage becomes obvious the Apple Care is gone so the customer is left to fend for themselves.
Apple service in Ireland is a terrible setup. Apologies if I have hi-jacked your thread but I am also angry.
