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.

Keyboard not working correctly on laptop. What do I do?

so I was using windex to clean my laptop and it went on my keyboard too. I cleaned it off but I noticed that it was not functioning properly. Some letters were not even working. After 24 hrs. almost everything is working but not correctly. Some keys be typing weird things and opening programs. Like w types out 2w and e opens a program. F8 doesn't work either. Please help.

Hello gurmeet1126,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the keyboard is not working correctly. I'll do my best to help, but first I require the following information:
1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your notebook product number
2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
3. Does this occur on certain programs, or all programs?
4. Have you installed any new software or drivers on this computer, before the issue appeared?
Also, try another keyboard. This will help determine whether or not the issue is with one keyboard or several. Thanks!

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 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 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.

I believe my firefox is viewing some websites on my laptop in formats that are used for cellular devices. Sites like facebook, sports illustrated, yahoo are not functioning correctly but certain sites work fine.

sits such as facebook, yahoo, and sports illustrated do not function correctly on firefox but they do on my internet explorer. I believes its somehow set itself into the same format used for cellular devices... My JSU.edu page says somethin about it being in (portal mode). It is also a different format now that normal.

Hi @TheBigGiggle ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP ENVY TouchSmart 17 Notebook PC and a keys not functioning correctly. Here is a document on cleaning the keyboard.
I would start with air on the keys as sometimes debris can cause this issue.
Here is a link to uninstall the keyboard. In the device manager have you uninstall all that is listed in keyboards, restart the computer after uninstalling, it should reinstall automatically and resolve any issues with the keyboard.
Here is a link to keyboard troubleshooting.
Here is a fix from Microsoft that might help.
Let me know how this goes.
Thanks.

Flash not displaying correctly for only one web site

In the last 3 or 4 days I seem to have problems with the flash content of one single web site not displaying correctly from my laptop. I have the same problem from both IE (version7.0.5730.11) and from FF (3.5.8). The site works fine from my desktop system so it's not the site specifically. The site (www.transparent.com/wotd/today/spanish.htm) has an embeded flash segment that does not display correctly and thus I can't click on two of the embedded buttons. It also does not display the background pattern for the flash. I'm running flash 10.0.45.2 based upon right clicking from within the embedded flash which takes me to the Adobe page with my version info. The Adobe page seems to display fine.
As far as I know I'm not having problems with another instance of flash - only this site.
Any thoughts on how to diagnose the problem? I've not added any new programs since this website stopped working but do have some background "tune up" programs that run. I'm assuming some settings are out of wack but don't know where to start looking. Any help folks woulc provide would be appreicated.

Well, that is hard to tell. Like I said the website may have updated their technology. Just because it works with the Desktop, doesn't mean there is not a reason that the laptop might not have a problem. You have 2 different systems and
most likely different configurations.
You may want to check Tools and in the add ons for both, look for Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control..Flash10e.ocx should be installed and enabled.
Also for each check C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Right click the Flash folder and make sure for IE that the files are vs 10.0.45.2 by checking the properties.
If you have the correct Flash files and the correct SWO then, some other cause would be looked at.
It has been my experience to not "assume", but verify:-)
Thanks,

Yesterday all web sites were fine, now some websites are fine, some are slow, some do not look correctly

I am using a Dell inspiron 1525, running Windows XP, Firefox 5.0 both OS and Firefox have the latest patches and fixes applied. Yesterday all websites were loading, responding and appearing properly. Today some are working properly and some are slow and do not appear correctly. No updates were applied in the last three days. To make matters even more confusing, When I us IE, the sites work correctly. I believe it is something with this laptop because Firefox 5.0 works just fine with all sites on a different machine which runs Windows 7. I tried re-installing Firefox 5.0, going back to 4.0.2, 4.0.1, all resulting in the same outcome. I ran a virus scan and nothing was found.
Any insight you can provide would be appreciated.

Hi,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

My iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 8.1 laptop or my Windows 7 PC.

I have been going through the forums for the last few weeks and nothing has helped. Both computers are x64 bit.
Problems I am experiencing
A. Windows 7 PC has not synced photo stream since September 25
B. Windows 8.1 laptop has not synced since a little before that.
C. I can't upload any photos (.jpegs) to the photo stream. An error pops up saying that they cann't be uploaded as they are not in a format supported by iCloud, even though they are jpegs.
D. Photos are syncing ti my ipad 3 perfectly fine, so clearly there is a problem with my computers but I am totally stumped.
I have un-installed, deleted all icloud photo stream folders, restarted and then re-installed the iCloud control panel on both computers, and it has created new folders and re-synced maybe 30 photos before it stopped again.
I have uninstalled every single Apple program on my Windows 8.1 laptop and reinstalled iTunes, iCloud and Quicktime and that didn't help.
I have toggled the Photo Stream on/off button in setting on my iphone, and that seemed to kick start the sync on my Windows 7 PC this morning, so far I've got 70 photos on my Windows 7 PC and that's where it has stopped but its a really random selection, and doesn't include the photos I took yesterday or today.
Two of my colleagues at work where my Windows 7 PC is located - their photo streams are working fine, both using ios7 and icloud control panel, however their computers are x32 bit.
I have also simply logged out and signed in again multiple times, however that doesn't do anything.
I have unticked the "read-Only" permissions on my photo icloud stream folder, but that didn't help either.
I have followed the troubleshooting from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989 - however that also did not help.
I have tried changing the folder path for iCloud photo stream, however that did not help either.
I tried the steps from someone who said they spoke to an Apple rep (steps copied from forum and I put them in italic) on this forum: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5381738
Anyway, the Apple rep had me sign out of iCloud CC on my PC.
Then on each iOS devices Settings/iCloud/Delete Account.
Confirmed all the warnings.
Then re-entered my iCloud id and password on the iOS device.
Things restarted and the iOS Photo Streams got loaded with the number of photos that
iCloud has.
Signed in on iCloud on the PC. It synced the same way.
Tried taking pictures on the iPhone and iPad. They synced everywhere.
So I'm back in business.
I just deleted everything on my iOS devices when I exited iCloud.
My interest is the PC syncing when I take a photo on my iPhone.
ME: Okay so these steps again refreshed the photostream on my iPhone 5. I can see that the photos I took yesterday and today have been uploaded to the photo stream as I can see them there on my device. I have also now signed back into iCloud on my Windows 7 PC and it is slowly syncing again, but just recognising the same photos it downloaded previously as per Step 3 which I did just earlier this morning.
I have also just tried uploading photos via the upload folder from my windows 7 PC, and they uploaded perfectly.
This is really, really frustrating. I've tried everything I can find on these forums but nothing has helped fix the issue 100%.
Can anyone offer something else I can try to reslove this issue?

Hi all. I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues. Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem. …without even a re-boot.
Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab. Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
Open the Users folder.
Open your user folder
Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
Open the Installer Cache folder
In Details view sort on Name
Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco. The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”. Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear. Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
Good luck…

Laptop says 'This version of iTunes has not been correctly localised for this language. Please run the English Version'. Can anyone help please, have no idea what to do and haven't used laptop in over a year. iPad/iPhone have lost tunes from laptop too.

my laptop will not open iTunes, as it just says 'This version of iTunes has not been correctly localised for this language. Please run the English version'. I have not synconised my iPhone 5S or iPad 2 with iTunes for well over a year. I noticed the music which had previously been put into iTunes has dissappeared from my phone and iPad. I also want to remove some movies from my iPad and iPhone and there is no way I can do this without being able to manually sync with the Laptop which is running windows 7. Has anyone else come across this and please can you help? I am no expert in fact I know very little about the Laptop, it is my Husbands baby but he doesn't understand anything to do with Apple including iTunes. I will need any advise explained step by step please.

Hi Shelady,
Try downloading and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes from the first link below. If that doesn't do it, the suggestions in the second article should resolve the installation issue.

TS1717 Having trouble running iTunes version 11.0.2 on a Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1. Keep getting an error message "the software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly..." reinst

Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1). I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes..." I have done this a number of times to no avail.

I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

When starting Window XP on my laptop (which was connected, in the past, in a wi-fi network now no more available) appears immediatly this allert: "iTunes Helper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. ERROR 7."
Reistallation of older or up to date iTunes versions is impossible because: "Installation package iTunes.msi is located on a network resource not available" and because "It is impossible to remuove thew previous verson of iTunes. Impossible fto find the path."
Someone can help me ???
Thank,
Gerald

Take a look at iTunes for Windows: "Error 7" message when opening iTunes. Perhaps your .NET Framework needs a repair.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I was cleaning up my laptop to free up some disk space. I now can't get into my itunes ??? It's saying Itunes was not installed correctly error 7 (windows error 14003)
What do I need to re-install to get my itunes back?

Is there also another message, Rob, citing a particular file? If so what is the name of the file? (Precise spelling, please.)
Are you running XP, Vista or 7? (I'm assuming 2000 must have just been a slip of the fingers.)

Printing on HP P1505 not printing correctly yet Explorer 9 works on same web site with same printer.

I have download the latest software for Firefox and the HP P1505 printer, but the pictures within the web site print correctly. The text information is not printing correctly. Lots of spaces and the font is a mess. You can read the text information, but it is all over the page. Firefox did print with no issues before 4.0b12. It always worked with the version 3 of course. I really do not want to go back to 3 as 4 is better except for this issue.

This is a known issue in Firefox 4 beta 12. You could wait til' the RC comes out, or you could grab one of the latest nightly builds availible here that fix this problem: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/
Just a note though, nightly versions of firefox are generally less stable than betas or releases. I am waiting for the Release Candidate to come out myself. (Should be early next week)
