Battery not performing properly

My iPhone 4 has started to not perform properly. It has the latest software installed but has started to switch itself off at random and also when charged overnight (last night) is only managed to reach 93% battery power.
It switches itself off when the power is at various stages ( not at any particular stage of depletion).
Sometimes when I retrieve it from my pocket it's off sometimes once I type in my password to wake it, it switches off halfway through.

Try fully discharging (till it shuts off and won't turn back on) and then fully recharging (100%) to reclaibrate your battery meter. You might need to do this more than once, i.e. 2-3 times. Once usually does it though. Also, 5.0.2 may come out in the next week or two that might have more 'battery fixes'.

Replacement battery not working properly

Hello,
I have a G72 Notebook and I just recently bought a replacement battery that is not working properly.
I think that the laptop is just not able to communicate with the battery to find out how much power it has left.
I'm pretty sure that the battery is taking charge just fine (although the icon says, "plugged in, not charging" because I used it for a couple hours today and it never changed from "41%".
Right now it says "0%" but continues to power my computer if I unplug it.
I've tried cleaning the connectors and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the battery driver.
My old battery still charges just fine and works perfectly it just doesn't last more than an hour or so.
I ordered the replacement battery that it listed on my old battery, but it seems to not snap in quite right.
It fits in my computer, it just isn't as smooth to snap in as my old one is. As far as I can tell it's exactly the same except I think some of the little plastic parts have slightly different sizes.
Thanks for any help!

New Battery Not Reading Properly

I just bought a new battery direct from Apple for my 1st generation Macbook Pro, but it's been having trouble reading the levels properly. The highest it'll say it's charged is 4 hours, but when I unplug the adapter after 1 minute it'll say 30-60 minutes was drained, then again the same thing, then sometimes it'll bounce back up to an hour, then drain back down drastically.
I've bought a battery not long before this, but not from Apple. I've read the non original batteries not bought from Apple directly have problems like this. That one was doing the same thing, and after a month it left me with about 15-60 minutes of charge, so I had to keep it pluged into the adapter all the time. So, I figured I buy the OEM battery from Apple this time, but still the same issues. The only difference is the new OEM battery is not overheating like the last battery.

HELP! Ipod sync not performing properly. What can I do?

Yesterday, when I clicked my Itunes icon on my desktop a message came up about some kind of update. Itunes was going to be loading new formats and I was asked if I wanted to keep files sorted. I clicked yes and then continue. I noticed it was doing all kinds of crazy stuff, so I stopped it. Now, I have songs missing, album artwork missing, songs that were supposed to be deleted are back, songs won't play all the way through on my ipod, and MOST annoying of all my ipod is not synching properly. It will get stuck synching random tracks and will just stay synching that one track forever. When I unchecked the songs the ipod was getting stuck on, it synched OK for one disc I'd uploaded. The next time I tried to synch something (5 seconds later) it got stuck. So I stopped the synch, unchecked the tracks and tried again. Now, no matter what, the moment I connect my ipod and try to synch it, it says synch complete. I'm pretty adept at Itunes. Everything is selected and deselected properly. These are not tracks I've downloaded, they're physical, actual discs (not burned discs). I've reset my ipod (holding the center and menu button) I've uploaded, unloaded, deleted, restarted, re-uploaded, checked, unchecked... everything I can possibly think of. I've tried to goole it and can find fairly similar situations, but how do you type just a few keywords into a search engine to explain all of this? Can anyone out there help me understand what may be going on? This is a HUGE pain. I really want to contact Apple about it, but I feel like I'm jumping through hoops of fire to find any decent contact information that doesn't include some fee for having my stuff fixed. I just want someone to talk this out with me. I'm fairly handy with a computer. If I can just get some additional troubleshooting options I may be able to work the problem out if it's easily fixable.

Good job explaining what has happened. That makes it much easier.
Although I am no expert, I surmise that by canceling the update, this left your library's data file "screwed up" for lack of a better phrase.
Here's what I would do:
1. Locate the location of your music on your system. It usually defaults to the C: drive under Music. Write down the file path if you need to, or remember where it is. If you don't know where it is, open Itunes, go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and copy the file path that is in "Itunes Media folder location" field.
1.5. Go to File > Export Playlist and follow the prompts, if you can. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU IF YOU CANNOT EXPORT YOUR PLAYLISTS, IF YOU CONTINUE THIS PROCESS YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RETRIEVE THEM, AND WILL HAVE TO REBUILD THEM. (Also, note, you will not be deleting any songs or albums in your library, but the playlists are tied to the files discussed below).
2. Close Itunes.
3. Using explorer or by navigating into your C: drive either paste the file path that you copied earlier into the address bar or type it in if you wrote it down.
a. Within your library, (it may be up a directory or two, like in the one that starts with a folder "Automatically Add to Itunes") locate these files (use search as needed):
Itunes Library Extras
Itunes Library Genius
Itunes Library (the Itunes Database File)
Itunes Library (the XML file)
Itunes Music Library (XML file)
b. Select all these files by either control-clicking or shift-clicking.
c. Copy all the files by right clicking and selecting Copy.
d. Navigate to your desktop.
e. Create a new folder on your desktop by right clicking and selecting New, then Folder.
f. Name the folder Itunes Library Backup.
g. Open the folder.
h. Click once inside the empty folder and then right click and select Paste.
The above listed files should now be copied to the backup folder on your desktop.
4. Go back to your explorer page and reselect all the files above, and then delete them. (This is why you backed them up).
5. Uninstall Itunes.
6. Restart your computer.
7. Download and install the latest version of Itunes.
8. Launch Itunes. You're starting with a fresh copy of Itunes, so it will appear that you have no music. However if you keep your music in the default Itunes music location it will most likely add the music automatically.
9. If Itunes does not add any music, or asks to create a new library, tell it yes.
10. If you use a different location for the Itunes music library go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and enter the file path of your library from earlier.
11. Finally, if you have no music in your library, in Itunes, go to File > Add Folder to Library, and then navigate to your library location. Depending on the size of your library it may take a few minutes to re-add everything.
12. Sync your Ipod.
I hope that helps. Let us know if you were successful in recreating your library.

IPod Touch 5th gen headphone jack and battery not working properly

Yesterday my iPod touch 5th gen's battery started draning at an incredible rate. Won't last longer then 1 or 2 hours now. And add onto it the headphone jack stopped working properly. It's now only plays in one ear, it's all static over the sound it's supposed to play. I baby my iPod. This all happened out of the blue. What do I do to fix it?

Saraa22 , the same recommendation was given over a year earlier:
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

If anyone has this same problem with their Ipod touch 5g headphone jack. I found a way to fix it. I did everything of the above but nothing actually worked . But this is what worked!
First reset your Ipod by pressing down the on/off button and the home button at the same time for 10 seconds until you see the apple icon
Then after it turns back on : Go to settings then press on general. Then press on accessibility and scroll down and make sure MONO AUDIO is on!
This will definitely fix the problem.

Copy command called through FM SXPG_CALL_SYSTEM not performed properly

Hi Gurus,
I am calling the FM SXPG_CALL_SYSTEM with the command name as COPY maintained for windows NT server and I am passing the additional parameters with the file names ( source file <space> destination file). Source files can be picked using wild characters (for eg:filename_o_*.wrk) and all the files fetched from Source has to be placed into the one target file specified in the destination.
While performing this FM, we are getting error sometimes. suppose if there are two files present in the source, first part of first file and second part of second file is copied and not the whole file. So we are missing second part of first file and first part of second file. This happens randomly like once in a day. Can you please suggest how to rectify this error?
This is in High priority. Any immediate response is highly appreciated.
Please advice me the right forum for posting this if this is not the right forum.

Thx for the explanation, you're right! (very surprising to me)
Well, I tried on my XP SP 3 system:
When we use * or ?, then there's the issue you mention:
- For the test, I created 2 files named source1 and source2, one containing AAAA\[CTRLZ\]BBBB in my local encoding (cp1252), and the other CCCC\[CTRLZ\]DDDD.
- If I use COPY source* result, a new file "result" is created containing AAAACCCC\[CTRLZ\]. Note that \[CTRLZ\] is always added once at the end.
- If I do it with only one file but with a generic character (COPY sourc?1 result), there's the same issue.
- Same issue also if I copy a whole directory to a file (COPY directory result)
When I use COPY source1 result (only one source file, and no generic character * or ?), there's no issue.
When I use /b (COPY /b source* result), it works well. Note: be careful with /b position, COPY source* result /b, /b is ignored if it is at the end.
Doesn't explain why the beginning of a file was not copied, though.

Battery not working properly after upgrading to 10.8.5

Hi guys,
i have upgraded recently to OS X 10.8.5 and now battery charge is always 0% and battery charging light in green state; system is indicating "replace now" as battery condition;
the thing is that, before the upgrade, even if battery was not lasting more then 50 minutes (400 and more recharging cycles), it was fine;
now when I plug the power cable and boot the laptop, it seems is trying 3 times to boot;
I did check and I have the latest SMC firmware; trying to reset it as described in
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
did not work.
I suppose i have to bring it to the support but anyone with a similar issue?
Thanks
G.

Thanks for your reply;
yes, the update raised is probably picking up that my battery is not anymore in good condition; as it is indicating "replace now" as condition and Apple documentation states:
Replace Now: The battery is functioning normally but holds significantly less charge than it did when it was new. You can continue to use the battery until you replace it without harming your computer.
Saying "functioning normally but holds significantly less charge", I would expect the battery to keep at least the 50 minutes of charge (as before the upgrade); but now is not re-charging at all (0% always and green light status); and the consequence is that as soon as I unplug the power cable, the laptop will die. So I still believe there was something with the upgrade and the SMC firmware (my mac is a MacBookPro.8.2 early 2011).
Thanks
G.

Battery not behaving properly, please help

Hi, I just got a replacement from apple (ipod touch 4g), but the battery is not working as it should. When it runs of, the ipod shouldn't be able to turn back on, instead, it would show an empty battery icon. Besides this, when you plug it, it should not work for about 10 minutes until it's got some charge... This "new as, they say" ipod, does turn on without battery, the apple icon shows up, and as soon as it gets to the home screen, it suddenly dies again. I've done this for about 8 times in a row, nothing changes. When I plug it, it immediately turns back on... I've compared it with my girlfriend's both fully charged, using the same app, same brightness, push deactivated and mine discharges way faster... Can any body help me?? Thanks

Ratings HUD Not Performing Properly

Does anyone know why Rejects would show up when selecting "Show 3 Stars or better" in the rating HUD? I'm also seeing in the same collection images that have not been rated at all. It's giving me all sorts of seemingly wrong answers to whatever rating I'm trying to call up. I'm gussing it's operator error but not sure what I'm dong wrong.

I'm not sure at this point what a smart folder is. I've just been trying to work with the main folder by selecting images and rating them then going to the Rating HUD and seeing how it works. So far it's not. Guess I'll go research the Smart Folder option.

Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
If this does not help, you may have to take the computer to the Apple store to have the computer and battery checked out.
Best.
