Battery has died and am not sure why
Hi, my macbook battery has completely died and I cant work out why, I accidently let it run to empty and now when it only works when connected to the adaptor and the battery icon in the top right simply has a X in it and it doesnt register that theres a battery there. The battery is securly fastened and wasnt removed at all before this happened, Ive taken it off and wiped the connectors, but there was no obstruction of anykind and its not been near water or anything. Can any one help, will I need to take it to an apple store or is there something else I can do? Many thanks
PS in the 'power' section of the 'more info' bit it simply reads:
Battery Information:
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 0
Fully charged: No
Charging: No
Full charge capacity (mAh): 0
Health Information:
Cycle count: 0
Battery Installed: No
Amperage (mA): 0
weird. I don't know what to say.
it doesn't matter if you leave it to die because no matter what it should work.
I'm a student with a low health battery caused from constant use so my laptop dies completely 5 times a day and the battery still works for 4 years.
leaving the battery to die should be a problem.
the X definitely means your battery is dead. this could have been caused by a sudden electric shock, maybe while you were away. since you already cleaned your battery it means it is still dead. get a new one.
p.s. Merry Christmas to you all!!!

Ipod frozen with sync screen even after battery has died and been recharged
My wifes ipod nano 3rd generation is stuck on the sync screen even after it has been unplugged, the battery has died, and it has been recharged again.
Hi buddy,
In my opinion the only the only one that you can do is updating the BIOS as Akuma suggested. This problem is not software related so thats the only option you have I think. You can download the newest BIOS version here:

If not, contact an authorized service provider please. The guys can fix all hardware related problems can diagnose this problem. Maybe the mainboard or something else must be exchanged.
Good luck! :) -
Need some help here -
I have been running OS X Server for a little over two years now on a MacMini and recently have found that the Server app is eating resources - pegging the CPU to 100% but not really sure why.
The system is supporting Filing sharing - not a big deal, two websites - again not a big deal, and Mail for two different domains - and appropriate DNS records.
All has had been good. As this Mac Mini is also the iTunes library repository for the house, if it is taxed for some reason I see that show up in delays getting movies - and thus found that the server was maxing out the CPU.
What I see in the Log files is not helping much - I am getting repeats of the same apparent error --

This goes on and on - then something else gets logs, and then this starts up again as the logging event of interest.
As I do review my logs from time to time, I am pretty certain that it was not doing this prior to the upgrade.
Any help and suggestions would be very much appreciated.

danWell I never setup an Exchange account, but with other accounts, when you go into Settings, then Mail, Calendar etc Settings. I can go into any of my mail accounts setup and there is a flip switch to just turn off. It leaves all the settings to be there later when you turn that account back on, but turning it off fully removes it from the Mail app.

Since iOS 7.1 my phone won't turn on and is asking me to connect to iTunes. I connect to itunes and it says it needs to be restored. Not sure why. I try to restore it and then it says something went wrong and it won't work. So I've been without my phone for a couple days now. It gives me error code (29). The phone almost reboots and then 3/4 of the way through it gives me the error message.
If using windows...
Temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus software and try again...

my iphone has been water damaged and in the mean time ive gone back to using my old phone. But i need to get all the contacts from my iphone i had synced to my laptop, but i don't know where to find them and im not sure if ive backed them up to anything!
If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select? -
im not sure why only a few of my contacts have been synced and not everyone? How do i sync all contacts from my iphone to my ipad? I have synced my phone with Itunes on my laptop.
It's a good idea to backup your Mac Address Book application and iCal Calendars application from each application. This way you can go back and pull out items if you lose something. I do this everyday.

Ever since i plugged my iphone into the computer, all of my music has been messed up. The songs don't have the right album cover i guess they all just got mixed up somehow. i dont know but its annoying and im not sure how to fix it.
If not this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Then
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Photos from the Internet will not load correctly. I get white boxes with blue question marks inside. This has only been happening for the past 3 weeks so I'm not sure why it is happening.
Yes - email & text work fine but when I use something like Google Images or search a blog with imbedded photos I get the empty white boxes with question marks. If I click the question mark it opens the photo but I can't possibly do that for EVERY image on EVERY page I search!?!?! I've rebooted the iPad & my wireless card several times but neither action helped. Have any clue what I should do now?

My iphone5 crashed Wed May 29 and I am not sure why.. I had to do a restore and have been trying to slowly get everything back on the phone... Yesterday June 6 it blacked out once and I don't have everything on the phone as before.... Is it damaged and should I try to get a new one?
Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
Sync Contacts:
Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

Hello anyone with Windows 7, not sure why having followed instructions above, install of latest version of itunes won't work and can no longer open old version either. anyone help with this?
Hi,
thanks for your reply.
Yes, except n°1 - empty Temp directory, I had tried/checked all of those.
I emptied the local temp folder tonight, but it still won't work.
Please note: the installation doesn't give me any problem. The program was working fine, until at one point *plouf* it stopped working. I can re-install it without any problem, it just crashes when opening.
\\edit\\ I seem to have located the problem, it's in the library files. If I re-install iTunes without my library, it works fine (though there is no music in it, yet). As soon as I import my library, or replace the My Music\iTunes folder with the old one, it stops working. -
I was updating my iphone 4s on my computer and there was an error and my phone has the connect to itunes symbol but will not connect to itunes on my computer. I am unable to use my phone and im not sure what to do..

My iPhoto has crashed and will not load up my picture and iTunes can not find my photos. Why?
My iPhoto has creashed and will not load up my pictures and iTunes can not find my picture either. Why?
Tell us more please - so it is hard to guess what might have happened.
What is your iPhoto version and your MacOS X version?
What happened directly, before you could no longer open your iPhoto library?
Did you install or upgrade software?
Did you import new photos to your iPhoto library?
Are other programs also behaving buggie?
Did you move your iPhoto library to a new harddisk?
Did you run other programs, that might have changes the iPhoto library?
How full is your harddrisk? Could it be, that you are running out of disk space?
Anything at all, that could give us a clue ...

Hello, What does Kurler Klash mean? Not sure why an error in posting. has occured.
Hello, What does Kruler Klash mean? Not sure why an error in posting occured.
I ended up figuring out a solution, but I'll get to that in a sec.
To answer your question, I converted the .wmv file in a program called Media Converter (available in the App store), and converted it to an h.264 file (then later to a .mov file, and then to an .mpg). I could view the file, and work with it in projects, but any project I tried to output with any version of said file, would result in the afor mentioned message, with the same results in FCPX (and Compressor 4 as well). I tried multiple frame rates, resolutions, files types, re-converting the file, all with no luck. My impression from said experiments, and reading other discussions was that it was a corrupt file.
Then I got frisky...and a little desperate. I brought the converted file (the .wmv to .mov) into Motion 4... and an export worked first try. So I exported a pro-res file from Motion 4, and used that file in the already built Motion 5 project, and voila!
So, who knows what that means in real terms, as for the whats and whys. -
My desktop pc has died and I have not backup up I tunes for months. If I install I tunes onto my laptop is there a way I can avoid losing all my data since my last backup?
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new windows installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!
