Battery Issues after Lion Upgrade

Anyone else experiencing issues with battery after upgrade??  Battery now failing when fulling charge about 10 mins after removing power cord.  Also saying Service Battery.  Had no issues with Snow Leopard and also my 15" MBpro is only about 1.5 yrs old...

Same problem. Recently upgraded to Lion. Was using my Mac fine (running off battery) this morning, no worries. Came home from work, wouldn't turn on without plugging it in, turned it on, said "service battery", left it charging for awhile, unplugged it, it wouldn't turn on again without plugging it in, told me 0% charge. How can it go from working fine in the morning to not at all at night??
Have had a few problems since Lion. Wish I hadn't upgraded. Also had my itunes account hacked last week. Losing my love for apple

  • I DVD Soft Frame template issue after Lion upgrade.

    Hello, I've just updated my os to Lion but the Soft Frame template in iDVD, (7.1.2) is no longer working correctly. The light coloured background which covers the right hand side of the frame is missing and has been replaced with black. This issue effects sub menus as well. Existiting and new projects using Soft Frame suffer from this problem... Any ideas would be gratefully received! I have tried re installing iDVD but this had no effect.

    OK I fixed it, sort of. The .tif file which provides the background image had disappeared. Even deleting IDVD and its themes and re-installing didn't work. So here's what I did:
    1) Make a new background. This can be any graduated colour field which you can make on any paint programme such as GIMP. However I grabbed the background from the `Forever' theme which is beige and adjusted the hue to turn it from brown to the blue which was close to the old 'Soft Frame' backing.
    Here's how to find the 'Forever' background:
    Go to your hard disk and look for Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Forever-Main.theme
    CTRL click on it and select `Show Package Contents'
    Expand the contents folder and then the resources folder and look for the .tif file marked Forever-Background.tif
    Drag this into your photo editing programme and change the colour to what you want.
    Save the new file as tpt.tif on your desktop (there is a reason for this filename)
    2) Replace the defective backgounds in the `Soft Frame' themes
    Go to your hard disk and look for Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Softframe-Chapters.theme
    CTRL click on it and select `Show Package Contents'
    Expand the contents folder then the resources folder and look for the file marked tpt.tif and delete it
    Drag the tpt.tif file you saved to your desktop into the Resources folder
    Now do the same thing in Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Softframe-Extras.theme
    And do the same thing in Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Softframe-Main.theme
    Next time you launch iDVD it will pick up the new backgrounds.
    It took me about 10 minutes.
    Now I've found where the backgrounds are stored (if you select Project...project info in the iDVD menu the media pane lists the full path) I realise it is easy to put your own backgrounds into any of the existing projects.
    I hope this helps.

  • Issue after Lion upgrade - recognising older OS iPad

    I have the older OS on one family iPad and now it doesn't show Lion upgrade - Any ideas

    Try this and see if it works. Quit iTunes on the Mac, restart the Mac, restart the iPad, connect the iPad to your Mac, launch iTunes and see what happens.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Battery issue after iOS upgrade to 4.1

    I have upgraded my iOS to release 4.1. After that my battery will be empty within a 4 or 5 hours. before the upgrade the battery works more than a day.
    Another issue is to delete emails. If I delete some mails and wait a few seconds the mail will be received again. This happens with my Mobile Me account AND for my exchange account. Before the upgrade was made all works properly.
    I have tried to reset the iPhone to factory settings and make a new configuration manually but the result is still the same.
    Anyone has an idea what kind of issue I have?

    1 & 2, common problems.
    3 - check your settings
    Apple fix the bugs?  Sooner or later. 
    Good luck.

  • Preview issue. Send to iPhoto option is grayed out after Lion upgrade

    Preview issue. Send to iPhoto option is greyed out after Lion upgrade.
    In Snow Leopard it was an option to send pics from Preview to iPhoto, but now it is greyed out if I right-click on the pic. I have searced and tried everything, but I cannot fix it, so does anyone have a fix for it? Please :-)

    I can offer no help but would also like to see this issue resolved.  Firstly, it would be useful to know if this problem is seen by everyone.  When viewing photos in Preview, with thumbnails in the sidebar, right-clicking on any of the thumbnails results in this:
    Prior to the upgrade to Lion, "Send to iPhoto" was not greyed out and worked as expected.

  • No battery life after system upgrade

    I've searched this forum and found a few notes about significant battery problems after Android upgrades. Immediately after upgrading my Droid X, my battery life went from more than 24 hours to about 4 hours. The battery is very hot and takes about 6 hours to charge. Clearly something is draining the battery. The Verizon tech folks declared it a faulty battery and are sending a new one. I am certain that's not the problem, especially since others have reported the same issue.
    So I hoped to wipe the cache before having to do a factory reset -- it was suggested as a possible solution. I have found some instructions for wiping the cache, but I can't seem to get the instructions to work. I power off my Droid, then hold the home key. Nothing happens. So I can't get to the menu that gives the options mentioned. Can anyone help? I loved my Droid until this update... I really need my phone to work as I am self-employed. I am my own IT department! 

    Hi dazzie,
    I understand your discontent; I would be frustrated if my phone's battery drained for no apparent reason. Please run your phone in Safe Mode as recommended by Cody21 (thank you!). Safe Mode temporarily disables all applications that have been installed via the Android Market. Performing this troubleshooting step is necessary to determine whether a 3rd party application is the cause of an Operating System / Application issue.
    I have checked my resources and I learned that similar battery issues have occurred with other devices upon a software upgrade due to third party applications that are not fully compatible with the upgrade Operating System and a Factory Reset has resolved most post upgrade issues. Please do a Factory Reset as this may resolve your concerns.
    Please keep in mind that performing a hard reset will remove ALL data including the Google account, system data, application data, application settings, and downloaded applications.

  • After lion upgrade time capsule no longer backs up

    Time capsule no longer will back up after lion upgrade is anyone else having this problem?

    The Time Machine application is part of the Lion operating system, so you will likely get a faster and more informed response if you post in the Lion support area for Time Machine. There are a number of posts there with issues similar to yours.
    Mac OS X v10.7 Lion
    Click on the Refine This List button under the Lion and then click on Time Machine to get to the support area.

  • Timestamp became incorrect after Lion upgrade

    What goes wrong:
    It seems the timestamp became incorrect after Lion upgrade.
    Timemachine backups are date 26th of Januari 2011, while it is November 3rd.
    Same goes for folders, files etc.
    System specs:
    MacPro 4-core
    HDD's: 1TB WD Caviar blacks.
    Upgrade of WD installed after LION release.
    Any suggestion?

    1) Make sure the system Date & Time is correct, and the location/Time Zone is correct
    System Preferences > Date & Time
    That will probably not be the problem, but you need to make sure there are no issues there.
    2) Next, open
    System Preferences > Languages and Texts > Format pane ...
    and reselect a standard Date and Time FORMAT.

  • IMac freezes after lion upgrade

    Upgraded imac from SL to lion, and now the computer freezes when waking from sleep or switching accounts. I have no issues during the process of using the computer. I have installed new RAM (4gigs), reinstalled the OS, erased the HD (securely) and rebuilt from back-up, pram, disk utilities, disk warrior. Read in one post that this may be the logic board and that Apple may be replacing these in certain modles. I never had the computer freeze when I was running SL, and I am a school IT guy with over 100 macs running SL and this does not happen at school. I have heard from others of the same thing once they go to Lion but the Apple Store says they have not heard of it!  Do not see how this could be a hardware thing since it looks to happen after Lion upgrade.
    Any ideas

    I did do the above as I read that may work too, I also made it so the HD never sleeps.  Did not help for me, computer still freezes when switching accounts, not all the time, on average every other day I need to do a hard restart.
    Still looking for the answer

  • After Lion upgrade, MacBookPro has trouble wake from sleep.

    After Lion upgrade, my Macbook Pro now sometimes will not wake from sleep.  If I close the lid the pulsating light pulsates. Open the lid and the pulsating light goes out and the keyboard backlight activate, screen blank and no keyboard response.

    I've been looking for answers, since upgrading to lion, my problem is more of a nusance, when I close the lid on my macbook pro (15" 2.66 i7, 8GB RAM) and it goes into sleep mode, when I reopen the screen the screen backlight comes up momentarily, then goes black (screen image there, just no backlighting) nothing gets it to come out (reclose/open, clicking trackpad, any keys, etc.) except the F1 key.  Pushing the F1 "wakes" the backlighting, then I just hit the F2 to brighten it back up, I don't have any further issues until I close it again.  Granted not that big of a deal given all the issues everyone else is having with this, but still a nusance I would like to fix.  Don't know if this will work for you, but it's been working for me.
    I have the same problem with my MBP 17"
    Would have been nice if Apple had taken the time to respond.

  • Performance Issues after an Upgrade

    Hello!
    We are experiencing performance issues after we upgraded to a new version of Hyperion (11.1.2.1). At this point, I am not too sure about the actual causes for this degrade in performance but I am trying to narrow down the causes and need your inputs. Please help me with your ideas.
    1) What could be the causes/factors for the performance to degrade after an upgrade?
    2) Does the performance of a script depend on the user credentials i.e. who is launching the script? Whether it’s the super admin of the application/application owner or an application specific admin?
    3) Does the performance of the scripts depend on the place you are launching it from? For example - will the performance differ if it’s launched from MaxL Vs EAS?
    Please let me know your thoughts on this.
    Thanks,
    - Krrish

    There are a number of bugs 12600557, 12675485, 12669814, 12698488 logged in for 11.1.2.1 - If you use Internet Explorer 8 and have data forms designed to use a large number of sparse dimension members in rows or columns, you may experience performance degradation when opening the data forms.
    This has been fixed in Oracle Hyperion Planning, Fusion Edition Release 11.1.2.1 Patch Set Update (PSU): 11.1.2.1.101 which is available on My Oracle Support as Patch 12666861.
