Battery not measured correctly

Hello,
I've recently replaced my NB500's battery with a new one. The new battery keeps the laptop running for over 3.5 hours, but the remaining capacity isn't read correctly by windows and because of that, the computer shuts down before windows even pops up a warning that the battery is about to be depleted.
Is there a way to fix that or to re-calibrate the system to read the new battery correctly?

Battery not sitting correctly in laptop.

Mac OX X 10.6.8
processor 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Suddenly noticed that the removable battery in my laptop is not sitting correctly in it's receptacle. I took it out and examined it and noticed it is slightly misshapen. It seems to still be working but not sure if it's SAFE to use it.
Can it be replaced easily and how?
Thanks for any information
Lisa

It suggests that the battery is expanding. Do not use it.
Go to an Apple store for a replacement. You might get one gratis (but don't count on that). I did when I asked the employee if the battery was going to have twins).
Ciao.

Battery not displaying correctly (log in says 96% but after logging in it says 100%)

So I got this new Macbook pro 15" (mid 2014) and I just noticed that the battery level indicator doesn't match the login page when you start your laptop (like it will say 96% but when you login it will say 100%).
I also try to use coconutBattery and got the same result as the login page indicator. It's quite frustrating as to know if my battery will run out at 10% or not without the coconutBattery app.
Does anyone have this issue as well? or am I the only one?
If anyone has this problem, does anyone know why this is happening?
My battery now is at 100% but CCB says it's 95.5%. It's very frustrating haha.

I also have the mackeeper and I used it to check for viruses and it found one and I deleted it through mackeeper but it seems that there was no solution to the problem.
That could be your problem. There is no need for anything like MacKeeper. Search these forums for the problems it causes and the method to fully remove it from your system. It's quite possible it damage your system removing what it thought was a virus. Do you remember what and where it was it flagged as a virus. There are no viruses on OS X, and all the other Malware is handled by the OS itself.
Did you ever manage to boot into the Recovery HD. It won't ask for a password, so if it did, you didn't get into the Recovery HD. See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

Battery not fitting correct?

Anyone else have this problem where the batter on the lock side dosen't sit quite right and the front lip sticks out a bit, you can feel the edge of the plastic.

Did you replace the ram and noticed this problem after? If this is the case you have to ensure the L-shaped metal bracket reinstalled correctly. There are sponges on this bracket that you have to coax into the ram conduits with a tiny flathead screwdriver. If you don't do this the bracket won't sit properly and the battery won't sit properly either. Having said all this, if the ill-fitting battery came out of the box like that, then send it back to apple - it's a lemon. Good luck.

Battery not functioning correctly

My battery on my iphone won't hold a charge. As soon as I disconnected it from the charger it decreases rapidly. It gets extremely hot as well. It also takes hours to charge. I took it to apple and they gave me a new iphone (refurbished) and after I synced it the same problems started. I took it back and they said it was a software issue and to sync it as a new iphone. Same problems. Does anyone know what this means and what I can do? I am at the end of my rope!! If you could help I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I don't think you can salvage it. The battery in my 2003-vintage PpwerBook in the original, shows only 130 cycles, and a health of about 85 percent. However, it can only run the computer until it hits about 60 percent charge and then dies. A guy at an Apple Store looked at it and said that, when the "dies" point is roughly the same percentage each time, it typically indicates a bad cell.
He did offer this longshot procedure in a case like mine: after the computer shuts down, recharge while watching the percent meter and let the new charge reach about half of the shut-down percent--in my case, that would be 60/2 or 30 percent. Let the battery run down again, then charge to 10 percent more, 40 in my case. Do this until yu have charges well past the old "die" point.
He explained that, rather than die, a cell can "forget" its state and the above procedure can sometimes "wake up" the cell and get it back to the party. Didn't work on mine, unfortunately. The previous owner ran the PB on wall power nearly all the time which doesn't help battery performance.
Also make sure your ac adaptor is putting out 65W. The adaptor that came with mine is for a 15" PB and only puts out 45W. It cannot start the computer unless the flaky battery is installed.

Health app not measuring walking distance

The health application is working perfectly for step counting,but does not measure correctly the waking distance.The problem began at 11 or 12 of March,I think after the iOS 8.2 update.Before this date it worked absolutely fine.So everyday I have an average of 5.500 steps and of 0.17km

nappin,
Mine seems to be working much better now. I find that there is often a lag of up to 15 minutes between the data being taken and the time it shows up in the app.
I one instance, it shows that I climbed a flight of stairs at 10:03, but it was not added to the health app until 10:15. For other data the two times match.
I don't know why your data does not display on the dashboard. Perhaps you can find an answer in some of the other threads on this topic.

Measurement and Automation Explorer not installed correctly

I have a trial version of LabView 8.5. Upon trying to change the Instrument I/O Assistant, I get "Measurement and Automation Explorer not installed correctly. Please install from driver CD." Well, I don't have the CD since this was a trial download.
Basically, what I am trying to do is this: I want to pull 4 variables/tags from an Allen Bradley PLC and log them to an Excel spreadsheet. I am using RSLinx to communicate with the PLC, and LabView to compile the info.
Any help would be appreciated.

Any Ideas? I have the program running right now, and I'm kinda in a bind. I also tried RSView32 Works to log the info, but there isn't enough flexibility in logging. I need to log flow rate test results from a large automated machine. The mahcine does a number of operations, but we are most concerned with these four tags (since it conducts four tests at once). The problem is, the cycle time varies with the lot of product. Some products require more time as the process is more delicate. So, I can't use a time-interval logging method.
As for variable change, I can't do that either because it records the 4 test results in series; not all at the same time. That, and if the test is aborted (no tube), the previous test result value stays in the tag until there is a successful test.
I found a variable that changes once per cycle. I'd like to log the four tags once per cycle.
BUT I can't do anything until I get the I/O Wizard working.

Measurement and Automation explorer or the Instrument I/O Assistant is not installed correctly.

I am having difficulties getting Labview to work with my NI card. I have a PCI_6225 card running on a Win 7 64-bit install. I had to download all of the drivers and installers from the NI site and during the Labview install, I recieve a prompt asking for my hardware drivers. Since I only have the compressed hardware installer, Labview doesn't like what it sees and continues the installation of LABVIEW. I then attempt to open an analog input channel through the Instrument I/O Assistant which displays the error seen in the image attached.
I know the hardware works because in the Measurement and Automation client, I am able to observe the analog input I hope to collect in LABVIEW.
Is there a fix to get LABVIEW working? I have tried multple installs of LABVIEW and am on a administered computer through my University's IT people. I have 'full admin' rights. Thanks.

Hello jbaxter,
When you download the Drivers from NI's website, make sure you unzip them (extract them) to a folder on your computer before you install them. If you use the NI Downloader it should prompt you to unzip and run the files after the download is complete. You need to either repair, or reinstall DAQmx and NI VISA. Make sure you download the latest versions of these first:
http://search.ni.com/nisearch/app/main/p/bot/no/ap/global/lang/en/pg/1/sn/catnav:du,ssnav:sup/1//en/...
Then go to Control Panel»Programs and Features»National Instruments Software and click Uninstall/Change then go to DAQmx and NI-VISA and click Repair. You can then point to folder that you downloaded from NI's website (make sure this is not a zip folder, but the folder that has been extracted). Or you could choose Remove, and then reinstall them both again. Also if you are using GPIB, reinstall or repair the NI-488.2 driver.

Measurement Computing USB-SSR24 error 42 Digital Port not configured correctly for requested operation

Using LV 2012 and ULx 2.02 LV driver:
LV is throwing an error 42 (Digital Port not configured correctly for requested operation) from the ULx write VI but only on PortCH. All my configurations are correct on the hardware and Instacal tests the ports OK. I've reinstalled everything and still see the same issue.
Since PortA is configured identical to PortCH, and PortA is functioning fine, I'm stumped. This is occuring on two different SSR24 DAQs so I don't think it's the hardware, plus I've already mentioned that the Instacal isn't having a problem with it.
I've attached my VI I'm using for debug.

I worked with Measurement Computing and they agreed that there is a bug with certain DI/DO configurations. There are a possible 16 different DI/DO configurations with the hardware and apparently mine (PortA - DO, PortB- DI, PortCL-DI, and PortCH-DO will throw this error for PortCH. I'm currently using .net calls to work around the issue until the ULx driver is updated. I'll post that when I see it. Attached are the .net VI's that I'm using for simple static IO.

Function keys are not working correctly

I've been looking all over the various threads and I can't find an answer that solves my problem.
Here are the details:
I bought the computer in the U.S. where I live.
I have a iMac 2.4GHz intel Core 2 Duo EMC 2133 with a 20" screen. Bought it new in February 2008.
I have Mac OS X 10.5.8 (I am waiting for my order for OS Snow Leopard to come in!!)
I have been using a wireless mouse and Keyboard (Love not having cords!)
Recently, my wireless keyboard got a short and quit working. I went down to the apple store and got a new wireless keyboard.
I had the computer with me at the genius bar so, yes, the apple employee saw exactly what I have.
I took it all home got the thing all put back together and got the new keyboard paired up and working with the computer.
Here are the problems:
Went to go use the function keys while using iTunes and found they weren't working properly. The F10, F11 and F12 do not control the volume of sound as the keyboard indicates they would, they instead activate dashboard, spaces, and application windows.
Following the advice of other threads, I looked over in the system preferences and made sure the "Use all F1, F2 etc." box was unchecked (it was unchecked), things still didn't work.
I tried the fn key but it appears to not work at all it has no effect on the functioning of the function keys.
I went under keyboard shortcuts in system preferences and found the F10, F11 and F12 keys, it confirms that those keys control spaces, dashboard and application windows as they are performing but shows no options to either reassign to volume control (as marked on the keyboard) or make the fn key work.
I've gone back and forth trying various combinations of checked and unchecked boxes to see if anything would work, so far I've come up with nothing.
A couple more important or interesting facts:
Yes I have turned off and taken the batteries out of the old keyboard. My bluetooth connection currently shows it as disconnected.
I have restarted the computer.
One thing I find odd; when I go under preferences and go to Keyboard and Mouse when I go under the section "Bluetooth" it shows Bluetooth mouse with the name of the mouse and the battery level. BUT nothing is showing up under bluetooth Keyboard, I can't figure out how to change this and don't know if it is contributing to the problem.
When I go under the bluetooth logo on the top bar I find the mouse and both keyboards referenced, the old keyboard is shown as disconnected and the other two are connected. I have tried to update the device's name but it doesn't seem to let me.
I have double clicked on the device under bluetooth and it shows the new keyboard as discoverable, paired and connected. Hence, I am using the new keyboard to write this inquiry.
Please, any assistance would be of great help. I have tried to be thorough in order help narrow the possible problem. Thanks!!

Just thought I'd let you know. Our suspicions were correct, it was the OS. After I installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8) all the problems were corrected. I also updated the RAM from 1 gb to 6 gb. The mac is working all around better. Sorry it took so long to get back to everyone. My superdrive had pooped out. Rather than replace it I got an external drive from OWC connected with firewire 800. So far everything is running very well, as far as I can tell this external drive is better than the original superdrive. My superdrive has always acted funny, infact I returned the first mac I got after a week because its superdrive was also malfunctioning. Anyway, all that to say everything seems to be fully functioning again.

Re: Function keys are not working correctly

What is the "Download All" button at the bottom of my playlist and why when I select it songs begin downloading and take up my storage space? If I don't download them the songs will not play correctly....

I have activated iTunes match and iCloud, now when I go to my Music app and choose me 'best' playlist, I see a button at the bottom of the list that says download all. If I choose this option every song in that playlist begins downloading (near 1,000), this is taking up memory on my phone instead of using the cloud. If i DO NOT download all of the songs they do not play correctly (skipping certain songs, not playing all the way through, etc.) What's this all about and what can I do about it? Why are my songs not just playing through iCloud? I thought that was the point.....

To be honest, you shouldn't need a great 3G service for it to be able to keep up with a song, but if it's a very weak signal then it could be the problem.
Unless you have unlimited 3G then I would recommend using wi-fi anyway, as you could easily run into monthly limits otherwise.
Do you think that it works better with wi-fi than 3G, or just the same? If it is the same then I would have to question whether this is actually your problem.
As to whether you should download songs beforehand, I would say that as a temporary measure it probably makes sense if it's possible as it will download them anyway and that way you get to listen to the music properly. However it does mean that you have to start downloading before you start listening which may be annoying.
I'd be interested to hear whether the performance is better with wi-fi than 3g though. It could be that I'm barking up the wrong tree.

Battery not recognized, not charging, but not dead...AC plugged in

My MacBook recently had a dilemma of not turning on. I went to the Apple Store and the Genius Bar tech guy fixed it with a SMC/PMU whatever power reset process it's called. Now my computer turns on, it just doesn't recognize the battery. The tech guy said my battery isn't dead, it just needs to be recharged. I'm kinda concerned that he didn't bother solving the issue at the store or try to tell me what is wrong. The computer only runs off the AC adapter, but sometimes when i plug it in the MagSafe connector will quickly flash green and orange repeatedly over and over and the battery status icon will go between X and 0% or from "No batteries recognized" to "Battery not charging" or "Charging not complete". This only happens occasionally. It also might say "Calculating..." but it will always go from one of these things then back to "No battery recognized" super fast repeatedly for a long while.
Also, when i close my MacBook, it won't go to sleep immediately like it used to. So if i close it then unplug it to take it somewhere, it shuts down as opposed to sleeping. I know if it gets unplugged it might shut down cause lack of battery recognition, but why won't it sleep when i close it?
I installed the Battery Update thingy for MacBooks and i don't think it did anything whatsoever. The AC cord works, the battery works, just not together on my laptop. I'm guessing while it was in it's permanent shut down state before i went to Apple Genius Bar, it must have drained the battery power, because i pushed the button when it didn't turn on the first time and it was fully charged with five green lights, then over the next two days i kept checking it and it slowly decreased until it is now a single flashing green light. It had two green lights when i went to the store, but after i got it "fixed" it stopped recognizing the battery.
I've had this laptop for nearly two years now, and it has survived a lot. I read many forums/threads about battery failure in other MacBooks like mine, bought around the same time as mine, but my issue is a mix of all the different problems.
For example, I have the same issues as these people did with their macbooks, but none of their solutions helped me:
"my battery logo alternates between telling me the percentage and most of the time showing an 'X' in the battery, it says no batteries recognized. it even does it with the charger connected!"
"The battery has a single, rapidly flashing, light when I press the button on it."
"But it never is able to calculate a time, and if you disconnect the power, the computer immediately shuts down."
"When I take out and reinsert the battery, it'll recognize it for a minute, flash in and out of orange, and than it will say no battery available."
"In system profiler it says there's no battery installed, and the little LED lights on the bottom of the battery don't do a thing. It's as if the battery is not installed, yet it is."
"My macbook has stopped working when not plugged in. The battery is installed but in profiler it says battery: not installed. Also there are no lights on the battery to show it charging. In the menu at the top of the desktop the battery has an X in it."
"my laptop doesn't recognize my battery-- it only runs on the wall charger. I've tried popping the battery out, then back in. When the laptop isn't plugged in and I push the battery's little button, the first light flickers briefly for a second or two and then shuts off."
"I turned on my Macbook with AC power after returning holidays. I realized it couldn't charge itself, and the battery indicator showed "X" with "No batterries available.""
I searched everywhere for a solution. But it seems like i'll have to return to the Apple Store and get it fixed that way. Here's the computer info anyway:

Do you have AppleCare? It seems to me you need a new battery but obviously we can't tell how bad the battery is unless you get that battery info while it is recognized.
Try another SMC/PRAM reset and get that info. Call AppleCare about your issue if the Apple Store won't give you a new battery. (Depends how many cycles you have).

Is prompted filter not working correctly with calculated items

Hello,
I am working on OBIEE 11.1.1.3 and having problem problem linking 2 analisys with action link
The test case is:
I have 2 attribute columns on a dimension
1. Conto 1 Code
2. Conto 1 Dsc (in RPD i set up the property Descritor ID of -> Conto 1 Code)
3. Conto 2 Code
4. Conto 2 Dsc (in RPD i set up the property Descritor ID of -> Conto 2 Code)
5. Conto Detail
and 1 measure on the fact table
1. Revenue (defined on RPD as simple sum)
On presentation layer i have the analisys:
1.
The First one using as Criteria: Conto 1 Dsc | Conto 2 Dsc | Revenue
The layout is a table with sub-total on Conto 1 Dsc
On Revenue i created an action link to the second analisys containing
2.
Criteria: Conto 1 Dsc | Conto 2 Dsc | Conto Detail | Revenue
Filters: Conto 1 Code (is prompted) | Conto 2 Code (is prompted)
This pair of analisys are working fine.
Then i created a second pair of analisys as:
1.
Criteria: Conto 2 Dsc | Revenue
Using Calculated group \ Items i created a numerous set of sub-totals
On Revenue i created an action link to the second analisys containing
2.
Criteria: Conto 2 Dsc | Conto Detail | Revenue
Filters: Conto 2 Code (is prompted)
This pair of analisys are not working correctly. When i drill from first analisys to second one the Conto 2 Code filter is not used.
Replacing in the second analisys Conto 2 Code (is prompted) with Conto 2 Dsc (is prompted) a filter is being generated on the drill but it's using the Conto 2 Code value and the analisys ends with no results.
Thanks,
Jonni

Try adding Conto 2 code to the first analysis and keep the filter on the second analysis as Conto 2 code is prompted.

Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1
