Battery in 2-month old MacBook Pro seems to be losing charge faster.

The battery in my 2-month old MacBook Pro seems to be losing charge more quickly. Also does not charge to 100% as it used to when new.

Hi A,
You have 3 months of free AppleCare phone support, and a 1 year hardware warranty. If I was concerned about anything on my new MBP, I'd contact Apple.

penny41,
Thanks, glad it helped you to check your battery status.
Something else to look at would be the cycle count, as you mention that your computer is "ancient". If you have a high number of cycles, it may also be a sign that the battery is tired and possibly nearing it's life span, and may possibly need to be replaced soon. If you see that again you may try a SMC reset to see if that helps, but if it continues you may need a new battery at some point. The battery icon will usually say needs service, or something to that effect. For the later MBP's Apple claims a life span of up to 1000 cycles, of this also will be dependent on who the battery is used, on the older ones I'm not quite sure what the claims were, and I don't know how old "ancient" in your case actually means.
I provide this for your info, so that you understand what may possibly be occurring.
I wish you the best.
SMC reset:
Follow directions for what applies to your machine, a battery you can remove, or a battery you should not remove yourself.

I have a 9-month-old MacBook Pro (10.7.3). I also have, among others, every version of iTunes since 10.4. Can I safely delete the outdated versions in System Preferences?

My four-month-old macbook pro's battery when fully charged is now down to 2 hours life from 7...in the last week. Why?

I bought my macbook pro 13" about four months ago and have been in love with it ever since - especially as compared to my old PC laptop, the battery stays cool and lasts forever when I am working. Best charge was 7 hours. However, in the last week I have noticed the battery suddenly becoming hot when I unplug the charger, and the best length of time I can get on a full charge is 2 hours.
I have made sure all the settings are for prolonged battery life - which they've been since I first set up - and turned off all programmes running in the background, but this has not made any difference. I have been using iMovie a lot lately which takes a lot of battery which is probably why I didn't notice the battery being low as it automatically seems to make the battery slump to 2 hours when it's on. It's off now, and my battery won't improve.
I have also now followed the instructions (below) about calibrating, but this has had no effect. My housemate bought the same model a month ahead of me, uses it probably slightly less, but his is still 7 hours for a charge.
Is my battery faulty?
Calibration instructions used:
PowerBook G4 (15-inchDouble-Layer SD), MacBook (all models), MacBook Pro (all models), and MacBookPro (17-inch) (all models)
Thebattery calibration for the PowerBook G4 (15-inch Double-Layer SD) and anymodel of MacBook or MacBook Pro has been updated because of a new batteryreleased with this computer. With these computers, follow these steps tocalibrate your battery:
Plug in the power adapter and     fully charge your PowerBook's battery until the light ring or LED on the     power adapter plug changes to green and the onscreen meter in the menu bar     indicates that the battery is fully charged.
Allow the battery to rest in the     fully charged state for at least two hours. You may use your computer     during this time as long as the adapter is plugged in.
Disconnect the power adapter while     the computer still on and start running the computer off battery power.     You may use your computer during this time. When your battery gets low,     the low battery warning dialog appears on the screen.
At this point, save your     work. Continue to use your computer; when the battery gets very low,     the computer will automatically go to sleep.
Turn off the computer or allow it     to sleep for five hours or more.
Connect the power adapter and     leave it connected until the battery is fully charged again.
Tip:When the battery reaches "empty", the computer is forced into sleepmode. The battery actually keeps back a reserve beyond "empty", tomaintain the computer in sleep for a period of time. Once the battery is trulyexhausted, the computer is forced to shut down. At this point, with the safesleep function introduced in the PowerBook G4 (15-inch Double-Layer SD)computers, the computer's memory contents have been saved to the hard drive.When power is restored, the computer returns itself to its pre-sleep stateusing the safe sleep image on the hard drive.

X Through battery icon, no LED light on MagSafe, 2 month old Macbook Pro

This all started this afternoon. I noticed a black X through the battery icon in the upper tool bar, then noticed that there was no LED light on the MagSafe charger. The fan on my computer was also constantly running. This computer is only TWO months old. Since day one I have run the battery down before re-charging. This should have properly calibrated the battery.
Is there some simple fix for this or do I have to take time out of my life during the holiday season, trek to the mall and pray that someone at the genius bar has time to resolve this issue? Hoping there is a saint here somewhere to help me out

MamaGG:
Call Apple Care (800) 275-2272.
Your computer is warranted for 1 year for Hardware and for 3 mos, I believe, for free phone tech support.
They may have you take it to the Apple Store near you for the "genius" to work on it.
Have you Serial Number handy. Locate it from the "Apple Icon" drop down menu on the left and side of the upper title Bar and open up "About this Mac" and open up "more info" and then "Hardware".
They have the best support in the industry.
Meanwhile consider getting the Apple Care Add on package for the MB Pro. It extends this Hardware coverage for 3 years and provides free Apple Care Phone Tech support for that time.
I have had it on all my Macs which I have owned. The phone support is well worth it.

Six-month-old MacBook Pro acting up.

Hello,
My mid-2012 13-inch MacBook Pro is running very slow and hot now. Sometimes, it speeds up a little but it msotly is very slow. It booted up to a sort of "question mark/folder" logo on Friday - right after I brought it home from AppleCare - but now it's working, but only barely. This Mac is relatively new - I purchased it about six months ago - and seems to be in a good condition (no scratches, dents, etc. though that probably doesn't mean much). I don't think I use it very heavily at all. I use it for school and that's about it - the most it's subjected to is the daily commute to and from school, which I think laptops are supposed to be able to handle. However, the computer has a history of technical issues, all of which had to be solved by the same Apple Authorized Service Center that was mentioned earlier:
July 19th - Same problem as this time. SATA cable was replaced.
September 3rd - Severe lag and overheating with one application running. Hard disk and front hard disk bracket were replaced.
October 4th (Friday) - Again, same problem as this time. Operating system was re-installed.
What is wrong with my Mac? Could this be a defective unit by any chance?
Any help would be much appreciated. :-)

One month old macbook pro got hang(freeze) once, and kernel panic once: should i need to take some actions or its ok??

my macbook pro 13.3 (OS XLion 10.7.4) is one month old, few days ago it got freezed(hanged) at that time only 2 apps were running google chrome and xcode, i pressed power button (hold it for few seconds) to restrat.
Today when i opened the lid(as my mac was on sleep for last one hour- no apps except finder was running) i saw an error like this "mac encountered an error hold your power button for few seconds to restart......blah blah..something in other languages too", i think some where it used the word "kernel panic".
After restart mac said "your computer restarted because of a reason", below i have copy pasted the reason.
Please suggest me its(this behavior is) okie or should i take it to apple center?, also to note i have never played any game on my mac. Can any body suggest me why this kernel panic happened by seeing the reason below.
Now i am afraid to leave my mac at sleep with unsaved data and that was the exact reason i shifted from windows to mac.

I have had a 15" Late 2011 model MBP since December and have never had a kernel panic.
If I do I would take it in for a check up.

I need to upgrade my Mac, is there anyway I can swap my 4 month old Macbook Pro for a iMac or something with a bit more kick? (for video editing)

I would ideally like to upgrade to a new model iMac, as they and my Macbook Pro 15inch, only 4 months old go for about the same price.
Is there any way I can do this through Apple or would I have to go about it in another way. I would like to minimise spending and ideally would not like to buy a completely new computer. What I'm asking, really, is if I can trade the two?

No you cannot trade in. Sell you MBP on eBay for the best value. The best 'bang for your buck' currently offered directly from Apple is their certified refurbished machines:

My trackpad is not working, (4 month old macbook pro)

I have a 4 month brand-new macbook pro which is not heavily used at all, one day my trackpad is working fine, today it is moving around extremely erratically, switching from screen to screen, going to mission control with only one finger swipe etc. I cannot use it at all, I have to use a plug-in mouse. I have checked all my rpeferences for trackpad and nothing has changed. How do I fix this? PLEASE HELP!

Since you are under warranty, you best recourse and guarantee of results is to take it to an Apple store or repair facility.
Ciao.

Several problems with 8 month old MacBook Pro 17"

Please help!
*My macbook pro is making a VERY high-pitch noise, so loud it causes me to have a headache if I use it too long.
*My usb ports (all of them) quit randomly and not just with one device. My logitec headset quits in the middle of a conversation, my laptop cooler stops all the time (I notice this more often than I do the headset because the cooler is on all the time, unlike the headset), and my flash drive and iPod are unresponsive sometimes too.
*My power supply is SO hot that I worry that it will catch something on fire.
I've run every firmware update I can find and nothing seems to help anything. Should I just make the 4 hour drive to the apple store to have it checked out? Has anyone else had these problems?

Hi bamagirl,
It definately sounds like you are having hardware issues, the 4 hour drive is probably the best solution to get it fixed/replaced. You are still under warranty so any issues with the hardware will be solved for you
Make proper backups of all your data before bringing it in.
You can boot up from the osX DVD holding the "d" key to run an extensive hardware test and see if that gives you any specific errors. Either way... i'd take it in for repairs asap.
Good luck.
Edit: Do those issues still occur if you don't use the cooling pad ?

Ridiculous startup time on 11 month old Macbook Pro 13"

I bought my 2010 Macbook Pro 13", 4GB RAM and 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo last christmas.
Up until about the end of July when I upgraded to OSX Lion, my start up times ranged from around 35-45 seconds - I used to be very satisfied with this.
However, after I upgraded to OSX Lion, my startup time has taken a huge turn for the worst - it now ranges between two and a half to THREE minutes! This is an absolutely RIDICULOUS slowdown for a Macbook Pro that isn't even a year old - my four year old Windows Vista HP crappy laptop boots faster than this! The machine still runs smoothly and fast once it's fully booted, however.
Is there anything I can do to reduce the startup time on this machine that cost me an absolute bomb? I treat it very well, and clean the OS very reguarly using CleanMyMac.
Thanks in advance

Go back to Snow Leopard with a fresh install, and quit using Clean My Mac, you only need to clean the caches (which speed up boot times) if they are corrupted, not routinely.
Also Lion loads all your previous open programs, another asinine idea to torture people with, click that little box thingy when you shutdown each time.

Logicboard crash in 3 months-old Macbook pro

I have just bought my Macbook pro 3 months ago.
Two weeks ago, suddenly crashed on the screen. Brought it to the service, and they told us that the problem is the Logicboard. They changed it with new Logicboard.
My question is: how can this happen? Can this happen again?
is it the defect from the manufacture?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Hi q,
Anything can "break" a second after it was manufacturered. Yes, it can happen again, with that logic board, with that Mac, with any other Mac, with any other PC, etc. I am not aware that Apple has announced any recalls or repair programs for the current generation of MBPs.

My one-month old MacBook Pro won't connect to the internet?

I called the service provider, it is neither our modem nor our internet. The PCs in the house work fine, but a couple housemates and myself own Macbooks, and although they find the network, they do not connect. I've heard it's just some problem that randomly occurs for Macbook users and has no actual solution other than luck. I was wondering if this is a false rumour, and how to go about fixing it? I've reset the modem, router, and computer multiple times to no avail. If this is true, I will be the first one in line to sell my Macbook Pro back.

Hello Rattisate,
Sorry to hear you are not able to connect to Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro. I would be concerned about this too. You can find information on how to troubleshoot this in the following article:
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
Follow the steps in the section labeled, "Symptom: My Mac does not connect to the Internet."
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

I can't get video attachments in gmail to play on my macbook pro. 2 month old macbook pro running lion. says format not supported

I can't get video attachments in gmail to play on my macbook pro. Says format not supported.

What kind of video? There are dozens of formats, some don't play on a Mac unless you have the right plug-ins for Quicktime. There are some things you should download to help you out.

These should cover EVERYTHING you'd ever encounter (though maybe not). Frankly, if it's not H.264 or w4v (or both), it doesn't belong on your mac.

Trade in value, 10 month old Macbook Pro Retina w/ WIFI issues?

I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro, Retina, upgraded memory from base model, 256 of awesome Samsung PCI-IE storage with the apparently very common wireless card issue. Web pages don't load, erratic ping times and high packet loss. It was purchased at an Apple store.
What is the common scenario one would expect if they simply want the new model, or would I be making an assumption that the wireless card issue was resolved at some point?
As a consumer, what would you expect?

I would have expected that you would exercise your warranty. We are only users like you. No one here can be expected to know what your scenario would be like. But every day you waste on these forums is one day less remaining on your warranty.

Battery in 2-month old MacBook Pro seems to be losing charge faster.
