Battery failure although my battery doesn't fit the exchange program?

hello there!
i know there have been a lot of threads about the battery life and failures in the macbook pro but i don't know which one fits my case...
my mbp is a week 13 and has no problems at all. i don't use the battery that often - by now i have 14 cycles.
my battery's serial number doesn't fit the exchange program but today happened this odd thing:
i used my mbp on battery for less than two hours and the battery symbol said that i still have about 50 minutes of battery power. all of a sudden it turned off (as described in many other threads) without any warning and i couldn't turn it on without plugging in the power cable. when i turned it on it started from deep sleep mode (dimmed desktop).
...of course i did reset the pram and stuff - but what is going on? as i said i don't meet the exchange program for faulty batteries but still it doesn't seem to work proper.
what can i do?
thanks in advance, guys!

hi and thank you all for your replies so far!
over the weekend i took some screenshots showing the various total of mAh. i have no idea if that is normal like this? and the battery is behaving normal again, no random shutdown... you can find the images under the following link...

in addition i added a photo of my magsafe... now that it comes to the battery issue i got slightly concerned if this crimpy cord should be like this (not that this thing starts to melt on me!).
when i transport my mbp i wind the cord around those two hooks and i never pull the magsyfe by the cord out. but still it looks like this.
the power cord is from a week 10 macbook pro which i got exchanged for a week 13 but i had to keep the cord...
i know, this has nothing to do with the battery issue and no, i'm not paranoid - just now that i started this thread i thought i could add it...
so my questions are:
- shall i request a new battery considering the various mAh indications?
- shall i request a new power cord? or does mine look normal?
why i ask is because i don't want to request something when there is no need for a replacement.
thank you all!

  • Workspace doesn't fit the screen anymore...

    Hello.
    Since today (and Mac OS X's update I installed this morning, I guess), my Photoshop CS6 workspace doesn't fit the screen of my 12 inch Cintiq (connected to a 2014 Macbook Air).  No matter what I do, it keeps it wrong.
    Trying to set the photoshop window to the whole Cintiq screen with the "green" Mac OS corner button, this is what I get:
    Hitting F won't do the trick, this is what it gets me:
    I tried to clear the Photoshop prefs, without success.  I checked for updates and found there was a Photoshop update I had not yet installed, and I did install it, to no success.  Needless to say, this makes my copy of Photoshop most unusable, which is a really big problem for an illustrator like me.  I really wish I can solve this as soon as possible.
    Thanks.

    Yeah, no results. Still the same.
    If I take my main window and move it up by myself, it's just gonna stay there until the next click somewhere, then it gets back to this wrong placement,.

  • Booklet .pdf with crop marks, booklet doesn't fit the current paper size warning

    Hello. I am on XP using CS4 InDesign.
    I have the document set up as 4 pages, each 8.5 x 11, however, when creating a booklet .pdf, I mean it to be 2 pages 11x17.
    When I add in the crop marks they do not appear on the .pdf when it is created. I receive a warning in the booklet diaglog that the booklet doesn't fit the current paper size and it says to specify a larger paper size.
    What can I do to have the crop marks on my file? I understand the .pdf will be a little larger than 11x17 in order to fit the crop marks.
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Hi Peter,
    Thank you. I did try that first, but now I figured out what I did wrong. When the .pdf was made and opened, I cropoped the page according to the marks, but the page remained 12 x 18 instead of 11x17. I made sure that the "automatically adjust to fit marks and bleeds" and "use document bleed settings" was checked in the booklet dialog and print InDesign dialog.
    When I cropped the page again to make sure I sized it correctly, it was 11x17.
    Thank you!!!

  • A5 booklet  "doesn't fit the current [A4] paper size". What's wrong?

    Hi,
    Sorry, I'm new to InDesign, and am having a bit of a freakout over a booklet I need to complete by this afternoon.
    The page sizes are all A5. I try to print with A4 paper settings and the preview looks okay, but says underneath "the booklet doesn't fit the current paper size". Obviously A5, A4, it should fit perfectly, as  it looks to in the preview. When I actually print it the pages are slightly jumbled - 3 with 24  (of 24 pages), 4 with 23 etc., with the centrefold 12-13 split (12-15, 13-14).
    Any idea what's going on here? Is it something to do with crop areas? I can't work it out.
    Thank you! An enormous amount of gratitude to anyone who can help me fix this.

    OH HEY  it's suddenly saying it's fine now, even though the  only thing I've changed is to add a  bit  of  text, nothing that should fundamentally affect the structure. Thanks InDesign!

  • Long text doesn't fit the window exactly

    Hi friends,
    in PO smartforms i have included the header text of PO.
    the problem is the long text doesn't fit to the window exactly i.e.,
    when we enter the text in PO in the header a line can contain only 60 characters approximately where as in my smartforms it can contain more than that.
    so in the display of smart form i get lot of space in the right side and i get the remaining part of text in the next line.
    regards,
    Saravan raj

    hi,
    what u have told is correct but we can't expect the end user to do it each time when they paste the long text.
    is there any option to bring it by default.

  • HT204291 When I airplay my ipad, it doesn't fit the tv screen

    I have ipad air and using toshiba tv. When I mirror the image to the tv screen, it doesn't "fit to screen". Are other people having this problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
    You may wish to try each of the settings in ‘Settings > Audio & Video > Adjust for AirPlay overscan’ for the best setting that suits you.

  • Workbook doesn't fit the window when launched from Portal

    Hello SCNer's,
    When a workbook is launched from Portal it opens to the right side of the window and is minimized.
    It fits the window once maximized, are there any settings available which can defaultly set the workbook to fit the window.
    Thanks SCNer's.

    Hi,
    Do you mean by executing the Query in portal or executing the Workbook.
    Protal setting for the number of columns/rows are decided by 0ANALZER_PATTERN web template. Which is the default web template.
    Check the settings in the Default Web Template used.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • System doesn't recognize the software programs on the Photoshop elements disk?

    How do I get my Windows XP system to recognize the software programs on the Photoshop Elements disk? This is not a download from the web.  I've got the minimum requirements. Turned off all security systems. Created a separate account for Photoshop. And tried other disks to make sure the drive is working. After hours of troubleshooting I'm ready to return the software.

    If the drive is correctly installed on to the sled, and the mounting screws are snug, not tight, and the sled is inserted properly so that all the roof-tangs catch as the sled is inserted, failure to show up in Disk Utility means the drive is not useable.
    A Bug in 10.8.4 and later precludes Disk Utility ERASE-ing large drives in Internal bays. Use PARTITION only, and create one new partition, GUID partition Map, Mac OS Extended (journaled) Volume.

  • Battery failure after downloading battery update 1.2

    Last night I downloaded the battery update for my Macbook; however, after doing so there was a 'X' showing over my battery. Whenever I unplug the laptop, the computer shuts down and does not read that there is a battery present at all. I have tried taking the battery out and putting it back in, but I can't figure out how to get my computer to read the battery again.

    First try resetting the PMU/SMC.

  • HT2792 Just purchased from an airport store the MagSafe Airline Adapter so I could use my MacBook Air on a long haul flight. But, the airline adapter plug doesn't fit the socket. Am I missing something?

    I purchased at the airport last week before a long haul flight the MagSafe Airline Adappter so I couod keep working on the MacBook Air without fear of the battery running out before I had completed the necessary work. The shop assistant assured me the kit worked on all planes but......the socket on the flight, both outbound and inbound, was the normal female 2 pin/3 pin socket that I used to use for my old thinkPad. What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something obvious here
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Hi CaptFred,
    Thanks for taking the time to respond. I understand your point and have indeed separated them. Since sending the message I have visited the Apple Store to check the picture of the accessory in case I was missing something and I wonder if I am missing the 20mm adapter but, over and above that, I just dont see the right size/shape empower port socket in the plane seat, only the traditional 3 pin/2 pin sockets. I wonder if the salesman was selling me a pig in the poke because the Apple Store also says that it fits some commercial airlines whereas the salesman told me it worked in all flights. I suspect I will need to go to the airline companies direct to see which planes have this particualr Empower port. In the meantime I am tempted to ask for my money back. Geoff
