Battery issues, it is not holding up longer than 3 hours

my mac air's battery life isn't lasting as long as apple claims it should. i've been keeping a close eye on it as of late, and i 've determined that there is definitely something off with the battery life of my computer. i should also mention that main use for this computer is web.

Hi Sherwin,
Apple "claims" that you'll get up to 7-hours of wireless connectivity usage. So 3-hours would technically fall under this category as it's greater than 1 minute and less than 7-hours. Based on your usage and what sort of web surfing you're performing, 3 hours off a full charge is not terribly unrealistic. Especially if the content is flash or multimedia intensive.
Can you elaborate on your "web" usage?

  • Shuffle will not hold charge longer than 2 hours

    after leaving shuffle connected to itunes on my desktop, the battery will only last about an hour and a half before it tells my battery is low and it eventually shuts off

    Try Connecting it to a Wall socket, as usually Desktops are Low- Powered, Hope it helps

    I have a late 2008 Macbook pro and just bought a new battery, but it is not holding a charge.  I read it may be the charger,
    that sometimes is blank, but it does charge my computer.
    Anything I can try?
    I have updated to 10.9.2

    Bring it back to the Apple store with your MBP and charger.  If the battery is found to be defective, they should provide you with a replacement (assuming you are in the warranty period).
    Ciao.

  • Users receive "does not accept meetings longer than 1440 minutes" with MaximumDurationInMinutes set to 0

    Hi everyone,
    We are running on Exchange 2007.  I have a user who is attempting to book a meeting on a calendar and is receiving the error, "Your meeting request was declined. This resource does not accept meetings longer than 1440 minutes."  I know
    this is related to the "MaximumDurationInMinutes" property returned from Get-MailboxCalendarSettings in the Exchange Management Shell.  This value is currently set to 0, which I understand to mean unlimited.  The user did not experience
    this issue with other meetings and there are several meetings scheduled that exceed this limit.  I have included the results of "Get-MailboxCalendarSettings" and the email response (with some identifiable information removed) below.  Does
    anyone have any idea why this error might still be occurring and where it would pull the 1440 minute time limit from if it is not set?

    Hi Derek,
    I find related information as below:
    The default options allow all users to book resources if they are within the set policies (i.e. up to 180 days in the future, up to 1440 minutes in duration, etc.), and will reject all other meetings. In the context of resource mailboxes,
    InPolicy and OutOfPolicy simply mean whether or not the meeting invitation matches any restrictions enabled on the resource mailbox. For example
    MaximumDurationInMinutes value for the resource mailbox is 30 minutes, any meeting invitation longer than 30 minutes would be considered OutOfPolicy. Using the
    RequestOutOfPolicy parameter, you can manually add users that are allowed to request meetings that are not within the policy, and if you really want to lock things down, you can set the
    AllBookInPolicy value to False, and then manually add users to the
    BookInPolicy field, or more restrictive, to the
    RequestInPolicy field.
    More details to see:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2007/05/14/3402515.aspx
    I suggest set the MaximumDurationInMinutes parameter to a big number. Find a similar thread for your reference:

  • Reader X failing on Save and Save As, after the form has been opened for  longer than an hour.

    I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen or maybe can offer a solution. I have several Dynamic XML forms designed in LiveCycle ES2 v9 that since our ministry switched to Reader X have been failing. At first, the save button greys out (even though new information has been inputed) and the form will only save as. Then the save as function will start to fail if the form is left open.
    Our users are running Reader 10.1 on Windows Vista and so far its only users that have left it open longer than two hours, or over night. These forms have been Reader extended and at first save without issue.
    Unfortunately, just telling the users not to leave it open isn't an option. We just need Reader X to work.
    Thanks in advance for any information you can share about this.
    ~Connie

    Hi Kyle,
    Yes there is a lot of code within the forms. Mostly adding instances, and changing the presence on subforms. These particular forms do not have data connections, or execute any code from a server. The script all runs at the client level.
    I'm checking with the form content owners to see if I'm allowed to post any of them. If they give the okay then I'll put a sample up here.

  • HT201472 Is there any way how to find out where a particular device was when it last went online if longer than 24 hours ago?

    One Mac Book Air was stoilen frm me, I can still see it on Find my Iphone and can see that it has been renamed. The computer was offline for longer than 24 hours, so I am wondering if there is any way how I can find out it's last online location?

    No, you cannot find out where the computer has been. Find My Mac only shows you were the computer is right now if it is online.
    I strongly recommend you change all your internet passwords immediately, notify the police (do not try to recover your MBA yourself), and your insurance company so you can get reimbursed and buy a new Mac. Once you have done all this go back to Find My Mac and click the "Erase" button.

  • Can we record for longer than 1 hour 6 minutes?

    There are lectures that go longer than 1 hour and 6 minutes, the default in my version of Garageband.
    Is there a way to keep it recording for longer than that?
    Thanks!

  • HT1296 My battery seems to be not holding charge for very long, I have a model 4(s?) and have it in service for 21 months.  What do I need to do to save my information?

    What is usual life of battery, what do I need to do to rapidly get my phone back in service, most importantly, what do I need to do to preserve all of the information on my phone, or how do I do a miror image of the phone's stocked info.

    Hello there, Jean-Marc Peladeau.
    The following Knowledge Base article gives a few pointers for troubleshooting your battery issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Specifically:
    Battery life seems short
    Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
    If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
    When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
    Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.
    Note: Charging with a FireWire-based power source is not supported, except on original iPhone.
    Additionally, in regards to your question about backing up your device, feel free to review the following:

  • Satellite 1950-801 - Battery wireless keybord does not charge no longer

    Toshiba Satellite S1950-801
    The battery from the wireless keybord charge no longer, the powerbutton does not work anymore, what can i do ?
    I know the computer is old, but maby there is a solution for this problem.

    > The battery from the wireless keyboard charge no longer, the power button does not work anymore, what can I do?
    You are not able to power up the notebook?
    hm sounds like a notebooks hardware problem and possibly this is the reason why the external Wlan keyboard does not charge the notebook is dead and therefore the keyboard does not functions
    Why the notebook does not power up?
    Hmmm. goo question. Maybe the AC adaptor is dead and cannot provide power to notebook and notebook battery is dead too.
    This is possible but in most case its not the reason in most cases the motherboard could be faulty
    However, only the notebook technician can check the hardware parts and could provide more details

  • I have replaced my powercord and battery but they are not holding a charge

    My MacBooc is not holding a charge. I have replaced the battery and the powercord (new). Holding at 0%, only turns and remains on with powercord.

    Hi. Try updating your machine first and see to it that all firmwares are install. After that try reseting the SMC. Here's the link. Hope this helps.

  • Battery icon just says "not charging" full charge takes 9 hours :(

    Regardless if I select time or %, next to the battery icon just says "not charging". It does not read out how much time or % of battery life I have left. Also the battery went to zero and when I plugged it in, it says a full charge would be almost 9 hours....is this normal. The cyce count is 125 and condition is normal......thoughts? thanks

    I had a similar problem with my black macbook... I took it to the Genius bar and they determined that it was a faulty charger. The light on my charger would flicker orange/green/orange/green. sometimes no light at all. They replaced it. But since my battery had been recharged over 300 times, they replaced the battery as well. Since then---no problems with charging.

  • Bug when encoding f4v videos longer than ~ 1 hour ?

    Folks,
    We're getting a strange problem with Adobe Media Encoder.
    We encode a long (slightly more than 1 hour) f4v video
    and Adobe Media Encoder reports that the file encoded
    successfully with no errors. But when we scrub through
    the video (i.e., move the play head from start to finish),
    the video hangs early in the video.
    The source video in original H.264 Quicktime format
    works perfectly and is known to be OK. We have plenty
    of disk space and memory, so that is not an issue.
    We do not have this problem when encoding shorter f4v videos
    (even slightly less than 1 hour). Does Adobe Media Encoder
    have a bug when encoding f4v videos longer than about 1 hour?
    Is there a workaround?
    Thanks in advance,
    Raja.

    You can remove them from the iMovie timeline and replace(?) I believe iMovie plays the full quality video (there is an option on how iMovie previews the clips) but doesn't FCE play a lower resolution version? If you are not using the Highest Quality version in iMovie, what happens when the project is exported to Quicktime or iDVD? Does the video still studder?
    Regards,

  • Password Reset Emails take longer than 6 hours to arrive, expired once they finally show up

    HelloI have searched the boards and found instances of people with the same problem, but no solutions. I have been going back and forth with skype support, but all they send me are canned responses with the same useless instructions over and over..... and despite my requests to read and actually reply, or to elevate my questions to a supervisor, all I get are canned responses over and over again. The bottom line is my wife forgot her skype password, we attempt to request a password reset token be sent, said token takes longer than the 6 hours validity period to arrive and is useless by the time we get it, then we are prompted to enter her email for another reset token, which takes more than 6 hours to arrive, completing this ridiculous circle... Advise, ideas, help are all greatly appreciated Thanks    

    Bad news.I spent the last 4 days going back and forth due to the same issue. The email arrives after 3 hours (should we consider an improvement?) but at the time I check the email, the token is expired so I need to re-initiate the process. Very annoying and not up to today's industry standards for password recovery. Even banks take 10 minutes the most... Bottom line, Skype says this is an issue they recently expereienced. Based on the previous post, the term RECENTLY is very vague.
