Battery, Power, Deep Sleep and Spotlight problems after 10.9.4 update

Hi, I have a Macbook Pro 8,1 13in (Late 2011). I updated to the latest version of Mavericks (10.9.4) and iTunes on Sunday, right after that my macbook started to goes into Deep Sleep after closing the lid, even when the battery was 80% of charge. My battery normally lasts for almost 5 hours. After it went to deep sleep, the power bottom does not respond. Also, I have noticed that spotlight process in Monitor was consuming so huge amount of resources. This problem persists in Boot Camp. There is no way to turn the machine up without plugging it to the power cord. Sometimes it charges the battery as usual, sometimes it does not recognize the battery. Suddenly, the mac goes into sleep mode while I'm using it.
I have researching and troubleshooting in order to fix this but no solution. I have reset the PRAM and SMC. I made a backup of my files and installed Mavericks from the ground with external storage in order to erase the entire disk, no solution. I made an Internet Recovery and downgraded it to Lion, it worked for 2 hours and then I upgraded again to Mavericks (10.9.0) and the same problem came again, the upgraded to 10.9.4 and no solution at all.
I have searched on internet and there are other people experiencing this problem but nobody is able to bring a valid solution.
This is my battery's health:

Reseting the NVRAM/PRAM doesn't solve my problems.
Hi, since you have performed NVRAM /PRAM reset, try:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
and if still issues persist,  try: OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?

  • Syncing and music problem after iOS 4.3 update

    Hi there
    I updated to iOS 4.3 and found that my phone would no longer sync to my PC. After doing some research and trying lots of things (e.g. removing and reinstalling iTunes, de and reauthorising computer, forcing iphone to restart) I was having no luck so I did a restore. This didn't work either and just hung for hours, so had no choice but to stop it and then my partner managed to get my iPhone back to life on his Mac.
    My iTunes then recognised it as new and I was able to start rebuilding my library. However, when I sync music to my iPhone now, it won't play - it just flashes up for a second and then crashes out. Only happens on my music - podcasts play fine. Haven't tried video yet. It also flashes up the album artwork but it is all distorted (cut in half with the bottom half at the top and vice versa...weird).
    I tried downloading a song on my iPhone which played fine, until I then synced it with the computer and it got the same error as the others.
    Any ideas?! I'm planning to uninstall iTunes again tonight (being sure to completely remove any trace) and erase all data and settings from the iPhone so I can start completely afresh. It's the only solution I can think of.
    Thanks
    Alan

    I have discovered this is a problem with Windows 7 Updates (probably Service Pack 1) for me - after I installed the updates all my music corrupted again and iTunes started freezing and not backing up. Lo and behold, after formatting my computer again and not installing ANY Windows Updates, the problem was fixed and I've been able to add all my music back.
    Now I'm not sure what to do - I would like to get Windows updated, but I know it's going to break my phone. Am tempted to try a different iPod manager software to see if that helps.
    Where do I get the iTunes patch? (sorry if it's really obvious)

  • Slow backup (and spotlight problems) after time machine restore

    Hi All,
    After having some shaky moments with my macbook pro's internal hard drive, I have now installed a new one. I am running the latest version of 10.6.8.
    The machine is running fine after a restore from my Time machine backup, but there are a few problems:
    1) Time machine is now making a new backup - it looks like it wants to do a complete backup, which is ok as I have the space. However, after about 30 mins it has completed 156k and is now running at about 1k a second (or less).
    2) Spotlight is reindexing, but appears to be stuck on "Estimating indexing time".
    3) I tried opening mail, and it said it had to convert my mailbox - it got part way through the number of messages and stopped. I force quite, I'll try that one again later.
    Any ideas for 1) and 2) above? I can't see any odd looking messages in the console...
    Cheers

    So... thought I'd update this since it may help someone else later...
    The time machine backup completed fine in the end - it looked like it wanted to do a complete backup but I think it just did a delta in the end.
    The spotlight reindex ran for about another 6 hours, judging by the console messages.
    However, now I'm trying to run mail - and it's stuck on importing the mailbox - it got to 14157 of 57904 and stopped there. The "time remaining" is increasing by about 5 minutes every minute....
    I've seen the following message in the console, which I also saw while it was trying to do the spotlight index last night:
    NSDataMessageStore: couldn't find body
    Anyway, I'll let it run and see what happens...

  • MBP running out of battery power before sleeping - Help!

    Hi
    My MacBook Pro has been running out of battery power before the memory-saving sleep mode kicks in, so it dies with a little click of the HD. It's not a hibernation state as when I reattach the power supply it boots up a new session.
    I've noticed this since upgrading to Snow Leopard last year, but put it down to an old battery that had 45% charge and wasn't powering the MBP properly. I now have a replacement A1175 5600mAh battery which is giving me 2-3hrs usage (which I'm pleased at), but now it still dies before sleeping!
    I have tried to cycle the new battery, but can't. I have reset the SMC several times, with no effect.
    I used to cycle the battery every week or two, running it down until it would no longer wake from sleep, recharge overnight etc, but now I can't do this because it will die before sleeping!
    I've read quite a few articles over the net about this issue, but there seems like no cure. It's really annoying me now as I frequently work on the move and a dying MBP could potentially be disastrous.
    Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Is there something I haven't tried yet? I think it's a late '06 MBP.

    If you are not getting a warning, then there is something amiss with your battery. If a SMC reset and calibration does not fix the problem, then you may need to make an appointment at the genius bar and arrange to have your battery tested.
    My old battery started doing the same thing--shutting down without warning. I replaced it, and the replacement battery started doing the exact same thing. I then returned the replacement, and the next replacement battery behaves in a normal fashion.
    My first battery was worn out. My second battery was defective. My third battery is good.
    Your battery should still be under warranty. Go back to where you got it and show them what it is doing and see if you can get a replacement.
    Good luck!

    What might be wrong?

    Try a very quick momentary press of the power button.

    First, see Replace Your Preferences and do it for the original account.
    If that fails to solve the problem, rename the two Adobe folders that contain the prefs in the user profile for that account and copy the folders from the new account where it works. You want to be sure you copy the folders, rather than merge the contents, so you must rename the old folders first.

  • Problem after 10.6.6 update! MDS running from the start on activity monitor

    Hello,
    I have a iMac late 2009 and yesteday <unfortunately> I did the update 10.6.6! Before everything was working great cause I care the system with clean my iMac and other applications everyday and mostly I use recording programs like Pro Tools. After update the restart came and iMac's CPU was jumping at 20-30% without touching anything! I saw on Activity Monitor and <mds> was running! I want to ask what is that and how I can remove it and not running all the time. I close it from Activity Monitor every time the system starts but I want to remove it and don't see it as it wasn't before! After reading other topics, I did verify and repair permissions from Disk Utility and Mac Osx disc but mds starts when system boot.

    This problem started happening to me on both my iMacs as well. I have a brand new 27" 3.06 Core2Duo which started to experience boot and shutdown problems after running the 10.6.6 update. My 21.5 3.06 Core2Duo (have had for just over a year) is suffering quite a bit more. My 21.5" iMac has Bootcamp installed, as mentioned in this thread and at the following thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12968046#12968046
    I had noticed extremely sluggish behavior and many cases of the spinning wheel of lost hope. I run MenuMeters, so noticed a higher than usual CPU utilization - looking into Activity Monitor, mds was taking between 30% and 50% of my CPU.... ordinarily that shouldn't be a problem, but since that is Spotlight's indexer, I imagine there was IO contention. I plan on removing Bootcamp this weekend (don't really use it anymore thanks to Parallels 6).
    Additionally, I have experienced horrible WiFi performance on both iMacs since updating. I have seen a few mentions on the Internet about this, but no real official acknowledgement. My icon in the Menubar indicates that the connection is still solid, however, I'm unable to resolve websites, etc. I assume that it is losing its connection momentarily to my router, and not reresolving with DHCP upon reconnect. This problem seems to be pretty repeatable when I use Fast User Switching... Anyone else having this problem? I have ruled out my router, as my Windows box and Linux laptops have zero issues. I hope Apple is resolving this issue -- making me eat my words when I told my wife that we HAD to go Mac since its so much more reliable!

  • Searching problem after 10.5.6 Update

    Hello everyone, we are having a problem with searching shares mounted on clients from a server.
    Prior to 10.5.6 we could search an entire share as well as folders in the share. After 10.5.6 we can't search the share and we can only search folders in the share.
    The server is currently running 10.4.11.
    I guess what I'm wondering is... are there people with server 10.5 that are also seeing this problem or would upgrading the server fix this search issue?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Hi all...
    I recently installed the 10.5.6 OS upgrade and I've encountered a problem. I can no longer search my network attached servers - there is no search activity of any kind when I type in search terms. My local search works fine...I just can't search anything on my network ... windows servers. Is there a compatibilty issue between OS X 10.5.6 and Extreme Z-IP? Any helpful tips
    Updated to 10.5.6, no longer able to search through networked shares

  • IPad 2 switched off and not charging after iOS 7.1 update

    iPad 2 switched off and not charging after iOS 7.1 update. Pls help me. I have tested my charger. Its working in another device. But my iPad 2 is not charging with other adapters too. What to do??

    Hello, 92.romil. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would make sure you are using an Apple branded cable with your iPad.  If you are, the troubleshooting steps in the article below may help.  The steps listed below for the iPhone and iPod still apply to your iPad. 
    Resolving issues
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.

  • 3 Problems after jb 4.3 update

    stockmail exchange active sync shows only headers - no mail content
    bluetoth connect to my HTC One S didn´t work
    screen flickers when using virt. keyboard
    since everything worked well with 4.2.2 and there was no help from sony i decided to do a rollback
    !* same problems with 10.41.B.0.109 (last working version for me is 10.3.1.C.0.136 aka 4.2.2)

    hi.
    I contacted Sony about the Bluetooth / Wireless problem after the 4.3 update, eventually all I got back was that they're aware of the problems (Bluetooth) and are working on it for the next update. How long this will take is anyones guess.
    I find it incredible that they rolled out the 4.3 update because it has so many bugs, at least give us an easy way to roll-back to 4.2.2 ...... that actually worked!

  • No Battery Charge and Other Problems After OS3 Install - Solution?

    This relates ONLY to iPhone Users using the "PUSH" Function for Email or Other Apps!
    PROBLEM: It seems as though Apple is at least aware of the problem(s), i.e. once Exchange Email or another App using PUSH is configured, there is an OS3 bug that seems to be hardware independent (impacting ALL 1G, 2G and GS iPhones, but not consistently).
    SYMPTOMS: Include some or all of the following . . . rapid discharge (less than two hours from a fully charged phone, failure to charge (by AC adapter or USB to computer), failure to charge completely, perpetual dead battery icon, inability to boot, inability to automatically sleep, quite warm on upper back side, slow email, indication of a full or partially full charge dropping to no charge or dead when removed from charging source.
    CAUSE: OS3 Bug prevents consistent charging, draining the battery even when plugged in to a computer via the USB or into an A/C adapter (although I've been able to intermittently charge on an A/C adapter). In push mode, the Exchange email client on the iPhone continually queries the Exchange Server, cycling the iPhone CPU and continually draining the battery at a high rate (can
    WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD BY APPLE:
    1) Defective Hardware (though I'm on my third 3G in a week, so I don't think hardware is the problem . . . Apple will consider replacement with a new 3G if my third 3G has the same problem)
    2) Corrupted App in iTunes - so I manually reloaded each app directly over wi-fi, one app at a time, this worked until I configured Exchange Email, at which time symptoms immediately appeared . . . so corrupted app unlikely.
    3) Initial data transfer after email configuration . . . but symptoms continued long after this.
    4) Wi-Fi - but turning wi-fi on or off had little effect, beyond normal.
    5) Restore to New Phone - this works fine UNTIL Exchange Email is configured and activated. Thus, the time consuming practice of reload all apps, photos, music, etc. will be for naught, once exchange email is turned on with "push"
    SOLUTION: Turning off "push" on your exchange email account
    1) Go to Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars - Fetch New Data
    2) Set Fetch Setting to 15 minutes to approximate the much more frequent "push" uploads and downloads. NOTE: Turning off \"push\" at this level will NOT turn off push on your exchange email account and the problem will not be resolved
    3) Scroll down and select - Advanced -
    4) Identify and select your Exchange Server account
    5) Select - Fetch -
    6) Leave settings
    Phone should cool down in a few minutes and work normally. The problem can be replicated and resolved repeatedly merely by toggling "push" on and off in your exchange email configuration.
    I was told that this is likely to be the "fix" until a patch is issued. No time frame was given for an actual fix that allows Exchange users to use push technology. Disappointing, since broader use of "push" technology beyond exchange was one of the big benefits of OS 3.0.
    NOTE: THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR ON ALL iPHONES WITH OS3 USING THE EXCHANGE CLIENT. I have second 3G phone, identically configured (including push to exchange email) that has no symptoms at all. Go figure.

    Since two days ago, my battery indicator has been indicating 100% until the phone dies, which seems to be one of the symptoms you're describing.
    However, I don't use Push emails; my email client is configured to poll an imap server and has been that way since I got my phone over 6 months ago. To be on the safe side, I turned off Push anyway, but I'm still having the problem. Definitely 3.0 related as I've never had this problem before.
    Perhaps it's linked to an app? Personally I don't have a whole lot of them installed: Aurora Feint, fstream, twitterific, flixster, wikipanion, google earth, urbanspoon, STM Mobile, iDicto, Air Sharing, Facebook and Apple Remote. I've removed a few and will see how it goes.

  • BOSD, Battery issues and Heating problem after iOS 8 upgrade

    i have upgraded my iPad mini to iOS 8. Ever since I upgraded to iOS 8 am facing blue screen issues and heating problem as well. This is really frustrating even the patch iOS 8.0.2 dint solve the problem. Are you guys listening our complaints. When will you fixing it.

    The same thing happened to me on my 2012 Subaru Outback.  I'm not sure this will help you since you have a Honda, but I'm posting this just in case.
    I paired the audio on my car with my iPhone 6.  However, when I turned the car off and back on again, the iPhone would not pair automatically.  I had to manually connect the iPhone with the car.  Turns out there are two separate bluetooth pairings on my car: one for phone which allows up to 5 devices and one for audio which allows only one device.  So I did the second bluetooth pairing for the phone (had already done the audio), and that fixed it.  YMMV

  • More iMac sleep and overheating problems - any ideas?

    My iMac is about 2.5 years old now. It was working fine until the power supply had problems and was replaced under warranty. It then had could not mount DVDs or CDs and that was replaced under warranty, at the same time it was performing really, really slow, and then give me the spinning beachball for few hours straight before I had to turn off the machine by holding down the power button. The technician ignored that problem and I got my computer back partially fixed; the DVD drive was replaced and in his limited testing the computer did not lock up so he returned it to me.
    After a few days of use I then took the computer back again and he agreed the motherboard had to be replaced.
    While waiting for the motherboard to be replaced, I had extraordinary faith that my computer would come back in perfect working order: I ordered Leopard.
    Before upgrading to Leopard I decided to back everything up using SuperDuper so I could restore if I had problems with the upgrade. As a new father I have tons of photos and my son's iWeb page that I could not risk losing. My previous hardware issues made me act more prudently; I was lucky to have done that.
    Unfortunately the old motherboard was replaced with one that had more problems; after a few days of light use I upgraded to Leopard and was greeted with immediate kernel panics (grey screen of death). I restored from SuperDuper backup and tried again: same problem.
    Since I have lots of stuff on my system I decided to do a clean install: problem solved. I then started importing and consolidating my iPhoto libraries from my old G4 tower and my old "backup" system. The machine would overheat go to sleep after only importing a few photos or give me the spinning beach ball while typing in mail (when it was the only program open).
    After researching the situation one the internet I realized that many people have similar problems and I ended up installing "Temperature Monitor" to find out the temperature of my computer. The reported temperature of my computer is regularly hovering between 76 C - 85 C (169F - 185F). If the machine is idle the temperature is still very warm at 64 C (147F). I reset the SMU but that did not have an effect. I then found out the diagnostic test of the 4th LED that would turn on if the machine detected a heating problem. This test is intrinsically flawed since it can only be done with the case open so the heat can easily escape to the room (note both fans do work).
    I then took the machine in to serviced again. The problem would be easily solved if I lived in the United States or Canada, but I live in El Salvador. The only Apple Certified Technician (at least for warranty repairs that I know of) may be a little tired of trying to fix my computer (I can sympathize with him as I am tired of having it needing to be fixed).
    I dropped off the machine and 2 weeks later (I have learned to be patient for parts to come to this country) I called for an update. It turns out my computer is "fine". I went to pick it up and he performed the 4th LED test in an air conditioned room (with an open case obviously), copied a few files, opened some problems and it worked fine in his limited testing in an air conditioned building. He also said Leopard may have caused some problems.
    I have no faith in that computer right now so everything I do is on my 8 year old G4 "Gigabit Ethernet" tower. I have upgraded the CPU twice from 400 MHz to 800 MHz and then to 1.3 GHz over the years and put in 768 Mb of ram (as an aside I just ordered 512 Mb more ram as it is now my primary computer to edit video).
    I have videotaped the computer acting incredibly unresponsive and slow and am exporting it (currently 277 more minutes for 15 minute video) and overheating. It did not "sleep" when I had chance to tape it, may try again later (currently restoring 10.4.11 backup on iMac so technician cannot blame a clean install of Leopard).
    I called AppleCare and they were supportive with my problems and I hope to take in the computer again soon.
    Exasperated in El Salvador . . .

    Strongly suggest that you contact/call Customer Relations.
    Relay to them what you stated in your post. With all those repairs, you may be entitled to a new iMac.
    Sorry, I do not know the phone number of Customer Relations in your country. You may need to contact AppleCare & ask firmly & politely to be transferred to CR.
    Good luck!
