Battery Drain is very quick

Hi,
I bought  a Macbook just for its extraordinary battery backup. Snow Leapord gave me average 8 hours of worktime. Once I upgraded to Mountain Lion, it all drained in 2 hours, worse that my HP notebook that runs for 2:30.
Mountain Lion is very worst on the battery life. May be thats why the 'Remaining battery hours' has been removed from this version of Mac OS.

ok something like this happened to my iPod and I kinda know how to fix it: first let it go dead then charge it all the way 2 100% with out turning it on while charging and when it reaches 100% it should be fine [the green light on your mag safe charger should light up] and that should do the trick

  • I recently performed a upgrade from 7.0.5 to 7.0.6 and I found that my phone battery drain up very fast and the battery unable charge to 100. Besides, the battery live is going down when I charging with  3G on.Any solution for my issue? Please help.

    Hi, I had my iPhone 4S and I'm recently upgraded it from 7.0.5 to 7.0.6 and I found the battery drain up very fast if compare to iOS 7.0.5. Besides, I also unable to fully charger my phone to 100% now - max is 85% with phone either in airplane mode or switch off totally
    May seek help from your advise on above case.
    Thank you
    Best regards,

    Try killing the battery (Let it drain---turning on all the settings, playing a video, and having the brightness up kills it faster), then let it fully charge from there. Let me know if that works.

  • Since iOS 7update my IPAD battery Is discharging very quickly what should i do

    Since iOS 7update my IPAD battery Is discharging very quickly what should i do.  This problem only occured since last iOS 7.0.2 update

    Poke around the settings. There's a lot of notifications turned on that you may not need. There's also the backgroun app refresh that will be using battery and the background updating of apps.
    So turn stuff off, if it doesn't help another thing that you can try is to go into the settings and reset all settings. Which is a bit of a pain because you'll need to retweak everything, but sometimes starting fresh can clear glitches

    Did all the updates that Apple requested in my 64 GB IPOD and the battery continues discharging very quickly. When this problem will be solved, because before these updates were downloading not the battery so quickly. Did we revive the Steve Jobs to resolve the problem, because each update only worsens the operation. I look forward to a quick, effective and definitive solution. Thank You. Ester

    Those are not normal unless you are using apps that use a lot of power (like games & GPS apps).
    Take it to an Apple store for a free consultation or take it back to where you purchased it. Make a backup in iTunes or iCloud before you go incase it needs to be exchanged.
    It should have warranty for a year or more depending on your country & if you purchased Applecare.
    I would also suggest you leave it powered off if it always gets hot & store it somewhere away from flammable materials – damaged batteries can be a fire risk.

  • Reinstall io5? battery is dying very quickly... 4% every 30 minutes

    Does anyone know how to reinstall io5 by downloading again from scratch?
    My battery is dying very quickly... I visited apple in San Antonio and they said that I needed to reinstall because of "springboard" restarting over and over...
    they said it was common problem with upgrade. 
    And they mentioned that I needed to goto:
    Settings
    General
    Reset
    Erase All Content & Settings
    My iphone4 keeps some settings and isn't quite doing what is should.  MY iPhone ISN'T JB and that isn't an option for me.
    Any advise... please text me at (361) 444-2409.
    Thank you Everyone !

    First, please don't put any of your contacts on this thread.
    If you want to reinstall iOS5 and start from Scratch then do this.
    1. Open your itunes.
    2. Connect your iphone to your computer
    3. Once connected, click on your iphone (located on the left window).
    4. Click Restore
    5. It will Restore
    6. Once complete, Set up as new phone.
    *As for number 6, if you set up as new phone, everything in your phone is lost and is pretty much like the way you got it out of the box.

  • The iPhone 4S battery runs down very quickly.   Does anyone else have this problem?

    The battery in my new iPhone 4s runs down very quickly.  Does anyone else have this problem?

    Location services is NOT running all the time, only when the arrow appears in the message bar. It is not a major consumer of power unless you are actively using it (such as using the Maps app), and even then it is a minor factor in battery life; loading maps is the big user of power in the Maps app. And turning off Location Services defeats Find my iPhone.
    There are only 2 heavy battery consumers, cellular data and interactive games. Everything else (bluetooth, location services, WiFi, etc) are tiny in comparison to these and will not make a significant difference in battery life.

  • Why is my battery draining down so quickly, since the latest update?

    Why has my battery life gone from a once a day charge to nearly needing to keep it plugged up all the time. Since I installed the latest update, my phone will go from 100% charge to 30-40% within 3-1/2 hours and that's just sitting in standby on my desk at work. I have made sure all my background stuff is turned off, including the background refresh thingy. It's a little aggregating and if someone has an answer me and my family would love to hear it. Thanks.

    Well razmee209, I have done everything on the list that you sent me and turned off everything I could, that's working in the background, and still be able to function with my phone and the battery is still draining off dramatically. I even did the recalibration to no avail.
    I honestly didn't have any battery issues until installed the latest update and ever since it has been bad. It would be different if it were just me but based on what I have read it's happening to everyone. It really ***** cause my battery was unplugged at 5:50am and at 10:40am it's at 40% life left. You all really have created a power but in the last update.

  • Battery Goes Dead Very Quickly

    I recently got a 9300 (within last few weeks) from AT&T since my prior Blackberry was having problems (it was I think an 8900).  In any case it worked fine (and I was able to transfer all information etc.).  When I went to back it up yesterday it
    uploaded new OS software (5 level to 6 level) and since then battery dies really quickly.  I turned backlight down to 10% and nothing appears to be running in the background or anything and the wireless and bluetooth are all off.  What else can I do?  The main thing I have liked about my Blackberry's (this is my fourth or so) is the long batter life.

  • 4s battery going dead very quickly

    My 4s battery has suddenly started going flat in about 3 hours without being used...

    This may seem simple... but have you tried all of the techniques listed to reduce battery such as:
    Reducing screen brightness
    Turning off mobile data (in particular 3G) when not in usage
    Turning off location services
    Killing any apps which could be backgrounding such as Spotify
    More here... http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
    If none of them work, and if sepehrg's possible solution doesn't work, take it into an Apple retail store and they may exchange it if there is an evident hardware problem. If you choose to do that, remember to say that you've tried everything listed above and a solution may be much quicker.

  • Since latest IOS7 update my phone is getting and the battery is depleted very quickly

    Has anyone noticed thier phones overheating and battery direing since the new IOS7 update in Feb 2014?

    There have been some reports of unusual battery use after the iOS 7.0.6 update. A report that I saw on my Xite newsreader indicates users have found that quitting all apps and then resetting the device will correct the problem.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Do this for all apps shown in the recently used apps area. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Is my battery draining a bit quicker?

    Hey guys,I was recently talking to my friend on ''Viber'' for about 1 hour and 5 mins and I noticed that after the call ended the battery had dipped from 40% to 20%,is this normal under the circumstance?
    I also have to mention that my iphone 5 lasts around 1 and a half day under normal or light usage but it lasts around a day or less under heavy usage(not necessarily gaming),this is fine too?
    Obviously my iphone 5 is under warranty and if you guys respond,I would visit nearest Apple service center to replace the battery,kindly pour in your comments.
    Thank you dear guys!

    Check if you have calibrated the battery. Also, you can check some basic settings in this article - http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
