  • I upgraded my macbook pro from OS Lion to OS Mavericks. When unplugged, it heats up exceedingly and the battery life is extremely short. What to do?

    I upgraded my macbook pro from OS Lion to OS Mavericks. When unplugged, it heats up exceedingly and the battery life is extremely short. What to do?

    Installation of the new OSX is very heavy hdd load, in addition spotlight reindexes all the files on your computer - it may be a few hours. If in the future will be the same macbook hot, you should contact your nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider.
    May be required to clean notebook cooling system.
    You can also install any monitoring utility sensors to your mac  such as Hardware Monitor  and look at the value of the temperature sensors.

  • HT4528 I updated my iphone 5S to IOS 7.0 6 and the battery life is extremely short.  Anyway to go back to the previous software.  This is ridiculous

    My battery life for my 5S is very short since updated to the 7.06.  This is common and can I go back to the previous software?

    Nope, it's not common at all.  Why do you believe it to be 'common'?
    And no, you cannot downgrade your iOS.

  • My new ipod touch's Battery life is extremely short

    I bought 10 days ago the latest iPod touch and it is getting very poor battery life.
    Even without using multitasking and with having notifications turned off, it is running from full to empty in less than two hours.
    What is it that I have to do between all the things people recomend?
    - Reset Network Settings
    - set it up as a new device with no apps
    - Powering off every night
    - Shutting down Wi-fi all the time
    - turning off push mail, notifications, etc
    - Turning off "Location Services"
    I've tried doing the lasts 4 things and nothing improved..
    Or is it just because it's new and in the future it'll work longer?
    Thanks you all for your useful answers!

  • My 4S battery life is very short. I have upgraded to the new software with no improvement. Any suggestions?

    My iPhone 4s battery life is very short. I have done the most recent upgrade with no improvement. Any solutions on the way?

    I had not tried that article, however I already went throught the troubleshooting assistant, which covers everything that article has.
    I am about to try to delete and re-install iTunes though, which was mentioned in your artile link.
    Thanks for the help.
    I'll post my findings/results.

  • HT1476 ever since I upgraded to ios 7, the battery life is very short and I do not use my ipad all that much.l have been on the phone to apple 3 times, turning off all kinds of things I so not use and have powered off more than before but it is still poor

    ever since I upgraded to ios 7, my battery life is very short. I do not use the ipad all that much and have to charge it twice as much as before. I have been on the phone to Apple 3 times and turned off a number of things that I am not using and now power it off more regularly but still not happy with battery life. It is less than a year old and as I said, I don' t use it all that much

    My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

  • HT4623 I have updated my iphone 4 to 6.0 and now can not make calls or receive them...battery life is very short as well.

    Not able to send or receive calls since upgrading my iPhone 4.  Every time i make a call it fails.  I have also noticed that my the battery life is very short as well.
    What is Apple and other carriers doing about this?  When will this be fixed?

    Look to the right in the "More Like This" box for assistance.  Your issue has been explored ad nauseum.

  • I have the new iPad. Even with airplane mode on, my battery life is extremely limited. Is there a problem with the battery? I used to have the ipad2 and had no such problem.

    What is your brightness setting & how many apps are open?
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Is it possible i am using duplicate charger for charging battery but battery life is very short 6 hours what's the problem

    Is it possible i am using duplicate charger for charging battery but battery life is very short 6 hours what's the problem

    First, the battery. The recalled battery replacements have not held up well, and, unfortunately, feedback on the Apple site isn't what I would call complementary about their batteries. When I replaced mine, I got a Newer Technology battery from OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/BAP17AL60RS/ . Mine has 104 cycles on it and 4113 mAh capacity.
    Now, charging. There are only 4 components in the charging circuit: Power adapter, DC-in card, battery and logic board. It sounds like your power adapter, being newer, is probably fine. Where the power adapter plugs into the computer, is that jack loose? If you put a pen or pencil on it and push it a little, gently, does it wiggle side-to-side? If so, your DC-in card may be bad. Assuming the battery stats are good and the battery is good, it should charge. Sooo, last but not least, is the logic board. Probably the best thing you can do is find a friend with a Powerbook or visit an Apple store or Apple authorized service provider to use another power supply that they know works (just to be sure) and a substitute battery (again, to be sure). If indeed yours are good, and I went through this a few months ago with one of our Powerbooks, you can replace the DC-in card, and if that doesn't work, then the logic board.
    If you want Apple to do that, have them send it to the Apple depot, where they'll do whatever is required to put the Powerbook in close to new condition. Put an old, bad, Apple battery in it, so they'll replace it. Cost runs around $350 if the case isn't banged up, and if it is, the price can go up. When ours went in, they replaced the logic board and put a new battery in. Of course ensure your data is backed up, and if anything is really confidential, move it onto an encrypted disk on your hard drive or back it up and delete it.
    If you have the store replace the logic board, it will run you more than double what they charge to send it to the depot.

  • HT5567 well after updation to ios6.0.1 My wifi button has turned to grey mode ,i cant turn it on at all and when i tried to restore it my battery life turned in short life period .,,,i dnt know what the heck is this..pls help

    The reapair shop is probably responsible. And now that you took it to a third party and not to apple store, Apple will not touch your phone at all. So you will probaly have to buy a new one or go back to the reapir shop and hope they can fix it.

  • After upgrading to iOS 8 the iPhone 5c start freezing, battery life is too short, etc.

    After Upgrade to iOS 8 the iPhone 5c start freezing, battery life is too short, and to open an app it as to restart the phone.
    How to downgrade to iOS 7.
    Thanks,
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device without using any backup would be the next step:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

  • Battery Life is Very Short Recently

    Hi, my MacBook Pro battery life has been really dying quickly in the past couple weeks. My MacBook Pro is new as of December, and has only gone through 107 cycles. I am only running Chrome and Microsoft Word and a couple of other applications (Mail and iCal) as occasionally needed. I have been using my computer for all of 20 minutes now, running just Chrome, and I have burned the battery down to 82% and it only has 2:13 left. I don't really know what is going on, and I like to think that I keep very good care of my computer. Any suggestions as to why this is happening? I am currently running 10.8.3 with 4GB of RAM.

    While it's normal for your battery to discharge faster when running certain applications.  Having your screen set at the highest brightness settings also plays a role.
    Try this - set your screen brigthness down to 50% - turn bluetooth off if you're not using it.
    Google Chrome does use up your battery resources - try using firefox instead.
    With all those apps you have running in the background - it is normal for your battery to discharge faster.
    Open up activity monitor (have a look at my screenshot below) - under " All Processes " not my " My Processes " see what using 10% and above in your % CPU section - highlight it and hit quit process.
    See if that improves your battery life.
    107 Cycles is quite high for 4 month old Macbook Pro.
    You can keep it plugged in when you're close to a power outlet - it will not damage/overcharge your battery if you keep it plugged in.

  • New 15" 2.2 GHz is heating up very hot and battery life is very short

    I just bought a new 15 in MBP and the thing heats up so hot I can't hold it on my lap and all I am doing is sufing the web and downloading apps for my iPad.  I am using a 3G USB modem and with a full charge am only getting  an hour and a half of battery life max!  Is this normal?  Or should I send this thing back to the store?  Thanks for any info you can give me. 

    this happened to me a while back, even after replacing my battery. what might be happening is that there is a print job waiting in the que which could be hogging up a lot of CPU (why this happens is beyond me)
    anyway, the way i fixed my issue was going into the activity monitor and sorting the processes by CPU load. if you see something taking up 95% of it, try and quit the process. my battery life jumped back up to 3 hours after that

  • IPod touch 4th Generation Battery Life Is Too Short!

    Ok whats going on is that after 10 to ll hours the battery is at 20%. I dont even use my iPod that MUCH thats right not that often. Only time I use it is to sometimes play a game for like 10 to 20 minutes at most. Maybe watch a video or two maybe three and listen to music. But I've notice that I dont use it much but the battery drains quickly and I just got it in late August (2012). I even set the brightnest to the lowest to give me maxium battery life nope that doesnt help too much just gives me an extra hour at most. Another thing I turn off my notifications so the screen doesnt keep turning on and off. I do the double tap home button to close the apps that resume after I left the app. All sounds are silent what else could I possibly do to save battery life turn it off completely. I'm charging this thing every night for crying out LOUD!!!

    That's not a problem.  Apple will fulfill the warranty no matter where it was purchased.  Enter your serial number here to check if you are still covered: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do

  • Battery life is very short on ipod touch ?

    Hi,
    First post on here so be gentle.
    I have had my 4th gen Ipod touch for about 2 years now. I notice that even if I don't use it to play apps or listen to music the battery goes from fully charged to 20% left within 45 minutes.
    Is this normal ?.
    The battery just doesn't seem to have any life in it and I am just wondering if anyone knows if this is normal life expectancy or a fault ?.
    Cheers

    Could be that the battery is reaching the end of it usefull life. Try:
