Battery on MacBook Pro drains very fast (even in sleepmode!)

After upgrading to Leopard, my MacBook Pro has become almost unusable as a laptop, since the battery drains very, very fast (I get around half the battery time as before the upgrade).
What's more.. It even drains battery when in sleepmode. When I close the lid or choose "Sleep" from the menu, it now takes several minutes for the machine to enter sleepmode (when the white LED starts pulsating) -- this used to take only 10-15 seconds.
In one incident I had left my MacBook Pro connected to the charger for the entire evening, and the battery was at 100% when I disconnected the charger and put the machine to sleep. I verified that the LED started pulsating and the fans stopped blowing, and went to bed myself. The next morning, the battery level was at 3% when I opened the lid and the "Warning - low battery"-message appeared immediately.
What's going on? ..and now I can't even check for software updates any longer (broken) - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1274099&stqc=true
I have never had issues with my Mac before, but this is starting to near Dell-levels of dissatisfaction!

First, you should remove your serial number form your post.  However, since you posted it, I looked it up at https://selfsolve.apple.com.
That's not a valid iPhone serial number.  I think you may have a counterfeit device.
Update:  There are no legitimate sellers or service providers of iPhones in Oman: https://locate.apple.com/om/en/
You either bought a counterfeit device, or you bought a grey-market import.  Either way, you're not going to get service for that device in that country.  Since the serial number you provided is invalid, it most likely was a counterfeit.  Go get your money back.

  • I have updated ipad3 to ios7 and now battery drains very fast even when not in use

    Why is my battery draining so fast even when I'm not using it . last night I put it down with 45% and woke up to dead battery. I upgraded to ios7 last week. I have ipad 3.thanks

    Hi!
    I have an iPad 3,3 GSM. I didn't update it since iOS 5.1.1. iPad works almost a week for me. And updated it to 7.1 at last Friday.
    After update my battery drains notable fast. ~10-12% overnight(~8h) in standby mode. I've tried to turn off parallax, all location services and background apps. But nothing's changed.
    So I''ve found that in usage section I ve almost the same values of usage and standby time. And I realized that one thing that drains my battery is "Find my ipad" service!!! I turned off it and my ipad works as with iOS 5.1.1:
    2% overnight max!! And now it's drained only 14% after 4h20m of usage with parallax turned on! (yes i've only surfed web and read a book but nevertheless)
    So it's your choice what to prefer - be sure that your ipad either protected from stealing or long battery life!

  • I dropped my iPhone 5s (with a otter box) and the rear camera just stopped working. It also now starts to over heat near the rear camera and the battery drains very fast.

    I dropped my iPhone 5s on the floor on accident. Of course I have a otter box on it, but when i picked it up, the rear camera stopped working. Also the area around the rear camera started to overheat. I was so hot that it you touch it it will burn you. The battery also started to drain very fast.

    You broke it. That seems pretty obvious. A case, including the otter box, is not a magical force field that can protect your phone from the force of gravity.
    make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement will cost you $269.

  • Battery draining very fast on MacBook Pro

    Just in the past month my battery has started to drain unusually fast.  It will go from 100% to less than 20% in 3 hours.  Most of the time the only programs I am using are Microsoft Word and Safari (thus, wi-fi), but even if I am not actively using web pages it drains very fast.  It doesn't seem to help if I dim my screen.  Any ideas?  Is it just time for a new battery?

    Pre-Mavericks
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Mavericks and later
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the View menu.  Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

  • Battery drains very fast after Mountain lion upgrade

    After I upgraded the OS from Lion to Mountain Lion battery drains very fast in my MacBook Pro 13" (Mid 2010).
    Drains approxymately 1% every minute.
    I am now on 10.8.2
    Any solutions? Any Help?

    Hope we find some solution at the earliest.
    Or else, I will have to roll back to Lion and my $20 is lost for 10.8.1
    I am really disappointed.

  • Q 10 became extremely slow in responding after update to 10.2.1.537 - battery draining very fast since, too

    Hi,
    my Q10 now got very slow after the  update to 10.2.1.537 
    It takes ages for switching from e.g. text to E-Mail Inboxes, from Hub to oriority Hub view or just to opening an email or an app.  Also, it s draining the batterry very fast. Down to 20% after only 3 hrs , and than it is switching off. Even in Aircraft mode the battery is down after 5 hrs without me even touching the device.
    Any clue what went wrong? 

    I am also experiencing all kinds of problems since the 10.2.1.537 upgrade. I now have to reboot my Q10 constantly as it will just freeze intermittently! After making a call I sometimes have to wait 5 minutes+ untill I can make another call. My battery also drains very fast - I have to charge it everyday.

    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then see if placing the iPod in airplane mode when in standby helps.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

  • Battery Draining Very Fast after Updating 7.1.1 ... And after switching Off Location Service.,Siri.,and 3G

    My Battery Draining Very Fast after Updateing 7.1.1

     Your device might keep syncing your Emails,  Contacts and some other applications. 
    Reboot your device in this manner, when the device On,  connect to the wall outlet charger and remove the battery. Leave it for 30 minutes then reinsert.  You may need to do it once a day, until the issues solved.  Reboot in this manner will fix any incorrect battery meter and similar apps error.

    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior.  Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
    I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    SuperDuper!
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.

  • TS2634 Battery draining very fast?

    My iphone 4s battery suddenly began draining very fast with no change in how I use the phone.  Any way to correct this?

    You might try force closing all your apps: double-tap the home button, tap and hold one of that apps in the list at the bottom until it wiggles, tap next to all the apps on the list to close them, finish by tapping the home button.  Hopefully that will resolve things.  Also, there are some suggestions from Apple on maximizing battery life here: http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html.

  • Battery drains very fast on 4S after upgrading to iOS 6

    My phone battery was performing reasonably fine before the iOS 6. Now:
    The battery gets drained very fast. It used to last for 24hrs (on average) on the previous OS but now does not work for than 14hrs.
    The phone gets switched off when the battery reaches 10%. So basically I am only using 90% of my battery
    If Apple is not going to fix this issue then i have no solution except to downgrade it to iOS 5.1.1
    Any suggestion or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
