Battery doesn't show up on top menu

There is a black "X" at the top of the screen and when I run the cursor over it, it says something like "Battery not found". I tried the Apple-suggested fixes such as downloading the updates and so forth, but it still doesn't show up and I can only start the computer with the AC adaptor. The cord from the adaptor has a green light when it is plugged in. I even tried taking out the battery, pressing the "on" button and reinserting the battery, but that didn't work either. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Warren,
If all suggestion from here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305364
failed to fixed your battery, consult your apple care or apple store, and they will examine both your battery and macbook and might give you new battery under warranty if needed.
Good Luck.

    I purchased a game name Einstein and I can't see it , it doesn't show up in the menu!?

    This may be related to the "feature" that displays all Greatest Hits albums as one album, or it may be that the tracks are marked as compilations. Find one of the missing artists in iTunes and select the tracks from the album. Make sure the Compilations flag is set to No. Change the album title to something unique, e.g. if it's called *Greatest Hits*, rename it to *Greatest Hits, Artist*. Resync your iPod and see if it helps. If so, repeat the treatment.

    Hi vanover7,
    It sounds as if when you connect your iPad to your computer it does not show up in iTunes, is that correct?

  • Macbook Pro Retina showing pixels on top menu randomly?

    Hi all,
    My mid-2014 15" Macbook Pro randomly "loses" its retina display at the top menu (becomes pixel-y), where the battery, sound, and wifi logos are (on the top right side of the screen). A restart fixes the issue, but I want to know if this is an issue that can be fixed?
    Thanks,

    Take a picture of this phenomenon when it occurs.  Then make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  Show them the picture and have them examine the MBP.  This is not normal behavior and they should fix the MBP under the warranty provisions.
    Ciao.

  • [SOLVED - Doh!] New kernel doesn't show up in grub menu

    I've decided to play around with a new kernel, so I followed the instructions in the wiki for building the linux-pf kernel (ie, used the AUR). Although it doesn't include this step, I also ran grub-mkconfig. I can see a new Linux kernel in my /boot/grub/grub.cfg file.
    However, it doesn't show up in the Grub menu when I reboot. I don't see any other step in the wiki, for either linux kernels or grub. What am I missing?

    @op - If you see it in /boot/grub/grub.cfg and that is the file grub is reading, you will see it when grub goes live.  Do you have a separate /boot partition and did you have it mounted when you updated the config?  I'm guess you didn't and your config went on the root file system under /boot rather than to a mounted filesystem mount in /boot.

  • Command script doesn't show in Fl CS4 menu

    I have a command script (framesSelected.jsfl - the code is
    below) which outputs information about frames selected to the
    output panel, which I find very useful. With CS4 (Windows XP), when
    I place the jsfl file in the (suggested in the manual) folder
    (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\en\Configuration\Commands)
    I expect it to show in the command menu as it did in CS3. It
    doesn't. Can anybody tell me why, and what I must do now to get it
    to show?
    (script follows)
    var current_tl = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline();
    var selectedFrames = current_tl.getSelectedFrames();
    var selectedRegions = selectedFrames.length/3;
    fl.outputPanel.clear();
    fl.trace('Selected Regions: '+selectedRegions);
    var count = 0;
    while(selectedFrames.length){
    count++;
    var region = selectedFrames.splice(0,3);
    fl.trace(' -Region '+count+':');
    fl.trace(' First Frame: '+(region[1]+1));
    fl.trace(' Last Frame: '+(region[2]));
    fl.trace(' Selection Span: '+(region[2]-region[1]));

    Well I'm posting this for anyone who does not know this. By now I'm sure dv8kiwi figured it out
    Correct path is:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS4\en\Configuration\Commands
    And this is for cs3, cs4, cs5

  • After hard drive replacement iPod Touch doesn't show up in Devices menu

    I know this is an often-encountered problem, but I am tired of searching... I had to replace the hard drive on my MacBook after 14 months of service (that's another topic of discussion), I want to now sync my info on the iPod Touch with my computer, especially Address Book and iCal, but it doesn't show up in the Devices list. I have tried holding the Shift + Control keys on opening iTunes to no avail. What can I do?

    Sorry, this is stupid, but I just reinstalled iTunes and it worked! Don't ask me why. I deleted the iTunes app that the guy at the store had installed, downloaded a new app and reinstalled it and it worked. Even while installing it my iPod Touch beeped and as soon as iTunes was installed it showed up in Devices. I synced the iPod with iTunes, making sure to fusion the data rather than replace the iPod data with the Mac Library. It took awhile because I have almost 3000 entries in my Contacts, but the Address Book was filled up along with iCal, so I am up and running again. Whew! I must add that I had updated the existing iTunes to the latest version, but that had not worked, so you have to completely reinstall. Now, on with the discussion of how a hard drive in a 1 year old MacBook could break and lose all its data...

  • Battery app that shows video card in menu bar?

    OK - stupid, open-ended question...
    ...for reasons I won't go into, I had to re-init my SSD and restore from a TM back-up. I used to have a little app that had an icon in the menu bar showing what graphics mode was being used while on battery/charger. I swear I can't remember the name of the app. It was useful for making certain that the right graphics mode was being utilized (amongst other things).
    It's not Battery Health - I can't recall it at all. I obviously didn't get it in the App Store because nothing like that is showing up in my purchases.
    This isn't the first time I've asked if anyone knows what I'm talking about. Although the topic is usually political or religious...
    Thanks for an insight.
    Clinton

    That's it! Thanks for the quick reply, Grant.
    And after I downloaded it, I found it in my Utilities folder (where I usually stash things like that).
    I'll say it again - I'm an idiot. I used to be smart but now I'm just stupid.
    Thanks again,
    Clinton

  • Latest Run doesn't show in Nike + iPod menu, won't sync, Potential Fix

    I hope this hasn't been discussed elsewhere, but I found a solution to a frequent problem I was having.
    10.4.7, iTunes 6.0.5, iPod Nano Software 1.2
    PROBLEM: After completing a workout, attempting to upload it to the nikeplus.com website doesn't work at all. Checking Preferences>iPod>Nike + iPod does not show a "latest workout". Trying the "re-sync" tricks don't work.
    WHAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM: From what I have found, if you listen to a playlist that has an ampersand (&) in the playlist title, the workout won't be synced to the Nike Plus website.
    I had to go in and edit the XML file and remove the ampersand, move the xml file back to the "Latest Workout" folder and sync again.
    I noticed this because opening a good workout in Safari displayed all workout data while the "bad" xml file showed an error on line 12. Line 12 consisted of the playlist I played during my workout ("Shane & Shane"). Changing all instances of this to "Shane and Shane" solved the issue.
    I hope this helps, and I hope this is fixed!

    Good detective work & thanks for sharing your discovery. However, if you search for "ampersand" you will see that several people (Solstice & others) have already posted about the problems caused by having an ampersand in a playlist title.
    I suppose we need a FAQ for the most common problems and fixes! It would save people from having to reinvent the wheel.

  • Scanner doesn't show in File Import menu in PSE 6

    Hi
    I'm on Mac OS X 10.5.8
    I recently upgraded from PSE 4 to PSE 6 and everything is fine. It delivers everything I expected but for one little thing.
    Il was using my Epson scanner with PSE 4. The driver used to be listed in the File>Import menu. After installing PSE 6 I uninstalled the Epson driver and installed the updated version. Yet it isn’t listed as it should. Did I miss something?
    TIA

    Hello Neygotsole,
    Having your device malfunction can certainly be frustrating. After reviewing your post, it sounds as though your device is experiencing multiple issues. I have located an article that can help with software issues. Have you attempted to restore the device to factory settings without restoring from a backup? Test the issue on a new installation, and make sure that it works. Then use the same article to restore from your backup to either verify it still works, or isolate the issue to the backup itself.

  • Apple mail Notification - Unread email notification to show on the top?

    Does anyone know if I can have the unread email notification for Apple mail show on the top menu bar, perhaps amongst the icons like battery indicator, airport ect.? I have my dock setting to hide and I would like to see how many messages I have unread w/o having to pull up the dock. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Mail Unread Menu ➚ does this, but the reviews ➚ on MacUpdate seem to imply some instability.
