Battery problem adn difference between countries

My Macbook Pro has had the same symptoms since October/november 2008. In December, I called Apple here in Sweden and they refused to change the battery.The Machine was purchased including Apple Care in March 2007. I just need to know if I am eligible to have the battery replaced. I can not figure out from the discussions if there is a clear policy line from apple on this issue.

There are two official Battery Replacement Programs; one is based on the date the MacBook Pro was purchased and some "criteria", the other on serial number alone. I'd guess yours would come under the first of these:
"MacBook Pro computers and extra batteries that were purchased between February 2006 and April 2007"
Details here: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/
The second/serial number details are here:

App Store Difference Between Countries

Hello there
Do apps still differ between stores in different countries? I have changed addresses (moved to another country) and was wondering if moving to the new app store would limit access to some apps that are available only in either stores.
Thanks

Yes. There are differences between App stores depending on the country you are in. Apps that you have previously downloaded may not be able to be updated while you are in another country (if the apps are not listed in the App store for the country you are located in).

Strange Battery problem, keeps switching between 99%/100%

My battery keeps flashing between being at 99% and 100%. The Amber/green light on the power adaptor also keeps flashing green and amber.
What could be causing this. I have all the latests updates as far as i can tell. Anyone have any ideas?
I also did just get my MacBook back from apple. The hard drive died and they replaced that.

hello cameronjmulder,
I had that problem with my macbook previously too. I searched through the forums and i found that the people who had that problem were able to get it replaced (the battery) with apple. I got my battery replaced (with a new one i believe) and it no longer does it. I don't know if there is a fix apart from simply replacing the battery
You should either call applecare or head over to an apple store. Though depending on their supplies, you may have to leave your macbook there for a while. perhaps you can call ahead and ask.

Difference between qualities

hi,
I do not know if this is right place to ask this, and I appologize for it
I live in Georgia, here is not an official retail store of Apple. But I am always buying Apple products in some other shops, that are not official reselers.
I wonder is there any risk that such store may sell lower quality versions of Apple, is there any difference between Apple product sold in USA and in other, less developed countries?
in many other branded products there are some differences between countries and I would like to know if this is same for Apple.
additionally I do not understand why some Air notebooks have Samsung displays and some LG. is there any quality difference?
Thanks in advance

There is no difference between the equipment that Apple gives their own stores and other authorized resellers. Once it is at the store, there is a possibility that resellers could try to re-sell returned products. Hopefully, such actions would eventually result in their losing the authorized reseller status. I'm sure the further into the hinterlands you get, the more likely such practices might be.
Apple sells an enormous number of machines. For some components, one supplier may not have enough capacity to satisfy Apple needs and they may buy from different vendors. There should be no noticeable differences between equipment from different suppliers.

What's the difference between 45Wh and 54Wh battery?

Hi,
I was looking for a new battery for my MacBook Aluminum Unibody (Late 2008) and found that there are 45Wh and 54Wh battery. So what's the difference between 45Wh and 54Wh one at the same capacity? Will the 54Wh one offer a longer usage-time?
Thanks,
Nathan

I wouldn't trust it. Even though the new battery is rated at 54 Watt hour but an apple battery may or may not run up to 1000 cycles. I looked the product reviews on amazon and I will go for what others said. However, Apple battery is designated to last about 700-1000 charge cycles but a battery over than 700 cycles. I am apple battery tech savvy. I would like to share my experience and provide sufficient answers to all the people in this forum.
I have no idea what you are trying to say. But I am NOT buying or recommending any 3rd party battery. Please read the post.

Battery/Heat Difference between 6490M and 6750M

Does anyone know if there is any battery life or heat difference between the two video card options for the 15" MBP's? Does the 6750M with 1GB of ram cause the fan to run more and eat up more battery life than the 6490M?
Thanks

Since you don't play games, you'll notice a difference in graphic and video applications that are GPU accelerated, like Motion, and Photoshop CS4 & 5.

Difference between 6-cell and 9-cell battery

Can someone please explain the difference between a 6-cell Extended Life battery (HP's # WD548AA#ABB) and a 9-cell Extended Life battery (HP's #WD549AA#ABB)? At first I figured the 9-cell must be an extended life battery and the 6-cell was a standard battery. Then I looked at the descriptions of each and they were virtually identical and BOTH are called Extended Life. They are both listed as compatible with my G62 notebook but there's about a $20 difference.

Would there be a problem with the warranty in the UK if bought in USA? Plus is there a big difference between US and UK keyboards? Thanks

Hi, I'm from the UK and in the USA for a week. I'm thinking of purchasing an Air. Would there be a problem with the warranty in the UK if bought in the US? Plus is there a big difference between US and UK keyboards?
Cheers

There are subtle differences on a British layout, mainly having to do with the top line (shift numbers), to permit the use of European monetary symbols. There are a few other keys different (note the enter key).
Here are the basic layouts. Obviously the MBA won't have an eject key, as the power key resides in that location.

SCOM-Difference between Problem Count and Event Count in Application Failure Analysis Report

Dear All,
Could someone explain me clearly , the difference between Problem Count and
Event Count in Application Failure Analysis Report. Please help me in understanding What is meant be problem and event in the report .
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Rajesh Kumar C

Hello Rajesh,
The "problem" is the logically grouped set of the exception events which have the identical hash calculated over several fields as "Stack", "Source", "Failed Function" and so on... So, even if exceptions are different
in the other properties but hash matches over the considered properties - then all those exceptions go into the same "problem group".
So, event is an instance of the problem. One event contributes to one problem but one problem might have a huge event count if you have a repeating issue.
The logic is similar for the performance analysis report, only fields that go into the "problem" hash are different. e.g. "Stack" is not used in hash for perf events...

Differences between Browserlab ie7 & ie developer tools browsermode: ie7 + onion skin problem

Hi,
I've just noticed display differences between what I see in browserlab for ie7 and what I see using ie9, but in browsermode:ie7. I would have thought they would show the same as both are supposed to represent what the webpage would look like in ie 7. Please can someone explain:
a) why they should be different,
b) which is the correct one.
Basically the Menu is perfect in BLab, but is floated left in browsermode:ie7.
There is nothing out of the ordinary in the code for this page, just html, css, a tiny bit of javascript & some php.
I am using windows 7 on a PC and the problem occurs if I use BLab through Firebug or directly from Dreamweaver.
The url is my old site that I am in the middle of updating, but I still get the same error with the new site that I am testing locally:
http://www.laughingrabbit.co.uk/
Kind regards
I am also having a problem with the onion skin feature, which I had about 2 months ago, but which then went when I deleted the cache and rebooted - no such luck this time.
When I try and show 2 browser views over each other, only one will show when I slide the slider bar making direct comparison impossible - both views stay the same as the one on the left.
eg try http://www.laughingrabbit.co.uk/contact.html The corners of the form should be rounded only in later versions of ie, as it isn't supported in earlier version.
It is the same either through the main BL interface or Dreamweaver.
I have tried closing down BL, deleting cache etc (the usual stuff), but it doesn't make any difference. I work on a PC.
Has anyone else had issue with this and if so, how did you solve it.
AND YES, I AM SLIDING THE SLIDER FROM LEFT TO RIGHT and all over, but ti makes no difference
regards
Bek

hi Mark, Here is one example, on my new site. I have used css3 to round the tabs in the navigation which works for FF5, but obviously not for ie7, but no matter how much I slide the slider accross the image (and the tabs) never change. i get the same whenever I try and use onionskin at the moment - the image doesn't change from the one on the left hand side. If I swapped FF5 & ie7 round (as per the image) then the rounded tabs change to square as you would expect in ie7, but don't change to rounded as you slide the slider to the FF5 side.
kind regards

Facing problem while calculating the difference between the two dates?

Hi
I am using this code to calculate the difference between the two dates :
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.*;
public class DateDifferentExample
public static void main(String[] args)
// Creates two calendars instances
Calendar cal1 = Calendar.getInstance();
Calendar cal2 = Calendar.getInstance();
// Set the date for both of the calendar instance
cal1.set(2006, 12, 30);
cal2.set(2007, 05, 03);
// Get the represented date in milliseconds
long milis1 = cal1.getTimeInMillis(); // getting error here
long milis2 = cal2.getTimeInMillis(); // getting error here
// Calculate difference in milliseconds
long diff = milis2 - milis1;
// Calculate difference in seconds
long diffSeconds = diff / 1000;
// Calculate difference in minutes
long diffMinutes = diff / (60 * 1000);
// Calculate difference in hours
long diffHours = diff / (60 * 60 * 1000);
// Calculate difference in days
long diffDays = diff / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
System.out.println("In milliseconds: " + diff + " milliseconds.");
System.out.println("In seconds: " + diffSeconds + " seconds.");
System.out.println("In minutes: " + diffMinutes + " minutes.");
System.out.println("In hours: " + diffHours + " hours.");
System.out.println("In days: " + diffDays + " days.");
but i am getting this error :
The method getTimeInMillis() from the type calendar is not visible
Please suggest!!

// Get the represented date in milliseconds
long milis1 = cal1.getTime().getTime(); // getting error here
long milis2 = cal2.getTime().getTime(); // getting error here Hope this works for you!!

What's difference between iphone 4 and 4s?

i bought an iphone 4 9months ago and the software was upgraded to iOS5 last month. since then i noticed that by the time i used to connect my iphone into my pc the itunes did not sync so i'd just tolerate as not a big deal for me... this is the problem that i have. yesterday evening, my iphone 4 was connected to my pc at the same downloading viber again from itunes at the moment i wanted to disconnect my iphone its dead! shut it off. i kept on switching evry10sec but there was no power. i knew there's enough battery as it connected in my pc. well, i gave up and leave it but 36hrs after when i'd tried again to switch on i saw on the lcd battery icon is red So i've charged immediately. now fine! i just want to share with you this experience... why its like this. Thanks there.

Portege R600 - Difference between cooling options

I have a Portege R600 with Windows 7 installed, but I guess my query is generic to all Porteges regardless of the version of Windows.
Could someone please explain to me what the different "cooling options" in the power settings actually mean? I couldn't find details anywhere.
Does battery optimized mean that the cpu fan gets activated only beyond a certain temperature? And what's the difference between cooling and maximum performance?
Is there any other way to set the cpu fan speed directly?
This is a very important point to me, because the fan of the Portege is terrible, too noisy, to the extent that I am considering return the laptop unless I find a solution. Sometimes it sounds like a Ferrari engine at a billion rpms!
Thanks!

This points to:
[http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm]
which mentions that:
"If the sound of the CPU fan seems too loud, a setting that optimizes battery life will also cause the CPU fan to turn on less frequently."
However, my problem was quite the opposite: optimizing battery life causes the fan to stay off most of the times but to make the noise of a Ferrari engine at max speed when it activates. Optimizing performance, instead, means the fan is almost always on but barely noticeable, and never makes the disturbing Ferrari-like noise.
Maybe it's just me, but that kind of noise prevents me from using the laptop and would have cause me to return it had I not found a solution. I simply think that it's such a big potential problem that a clear solution should have been explained in huge letters, all the more so because the solution is very banal. It might be just my opinion, but judging by reviews and comments on forums, I'd say it isn't.

Difference between open type flavors

What is the difference between true type flavor and post script flavor? I noticed that ttf is often more expensive the otf. Does this mean ttf is more compatible with more applications? Are they both still compatabile with both macs and pcs?

Re: - visio adn Type 1 fonts
There was no Visio with Office 97.
But for Visio 2000, that's exactly what I was trying to say. The
versions that worked with T1 were those that hadn't yet been
significantly altered by MS from their Visio Corp roots.
MS acquired The Visio Corporation in 2000, and for all practical
purposes just re-branded Visio 2000, which can be found in both Visio
Corporation and Microsoft editions.
MS did some rework to a version that was already in Visio's pipeline
and released it in April 2001 as Visio 2002. T1 fonts worked in this
release. This version did have some other transition problems
resulting from the beginnings of integration into the MS product line.
Visio 2003 was the first version fully integrated into the MS Office
family, and I believe it was the first where T1 support was broken.
And no, I don't think that the Office integration was directly
related! Visio 2003 somehow also lost support for .eps import and export.

K 900 Battery Problem

Hello...
I purchased K900 2 months back.. iam facing battery problem.. it gets drained of soon.. when i play any game or so it will reduce to half mark... and from there it just keeps going down
Plzzzzz Help..........

Am into the 4th month of using K900.
Further to the battery problems that everyone is talking of there is a process that needs to be followed with this phone.
Plus contrary to popular beleif, there IS a difference between lithium-ion & lithium-polymer batteries. Marry it to a power intensive Intel processor along with 2GB of RAM & you have yourself a battery guzzler.
Steps to improve battery life
1. Firstlly, the 5.2v charger provided with your K900 better be your best friend. I messed my battery up for a week by using my wife's Samsung Galaxy S4 charger (5.1v charger - close enough, right? WRONG!!!). Battery began portraying commonly mentioned issues of complete battery drain within 7 - 10 hours, phone switching off @ 15% battery indication & after a few more (incorrect) charging @ 22%, etc.
2. Treat this phone like a laptop. Laptop batteries need priming. The better you prime, the more you would be increasing the battery life (Both for per charge & number of successful charges). So what is priming? Simply follow diligently the instructions that the "Lenovo Power" app mentions under the "Charging" tab. Please ensure 100% charging at every charging cycle as much as you can (However, 100% charging on every alternate charging cycle is a MUST). FYI, Quick Charge feature is useless. It'll only cause dissonance. Also, let the battery discharge to 15% or so & then charge it back to 100%. Furthermore, it would be beneficial for the battery if you would leave the phone connected to the charger upto 0.5 - 1.0 hour after reaching the 100% mark.
3. Some apps will EAT THROUGH your battery & heat the hell out of your phone if used continuously for long durations such as Candy Crush, CSR Racing, Fruit Ninja, etc. So don't blame the phone or battery, it's just the way the app is built.
4. This is a 1080p 5.5-inch super LCD screen. It will consume battery & significant amounts of it too. Also, your Accelerometer, GPS, etc. sensors also consume a lot of battery. So the next time you have your "Auto Rotate" feature on, it will consume your battery 15% - 20% faster than when it is disabled.
However, there are some glaring troubles that Lenovo seems to be facing with product development. Straight-up, the 16GB non-expandable internal storage is a gross mistake. Fine, so you came up with a 32GB version too in late November. Where is this replacement option for existing users of the 16GB version? I don't want to use the cluncky OTG feature!!
The battery capacity is definitely lower than what it should have been. Lithium-Polymers cannot hold charge for extended periods of time, however are great for operating in widely varying temperatures and for the flexible form-factors. My 1 day old Lenovo P780 (for Work) has a 4,000 mAh Lithium-Polymer battery with a smaller & lower resolution screen, obviously it will last 3 days with heavy usage. Did you guys mean to place THIS battery in the K900 originally & realized that the product design would not be ready for the mass marketing in time, at your newly acquired Lithium-Polymer battery supplier? Lenovo.....I seriously would not have minded a slightly thicker K900 with more battery say 3,500 mAh or even 4,000 mAh.
Plus, the latter versions of my second phone (i.e. the 8GB version of P780) have a lot of things ironed out in the Android 4.2.1 version that it is running. Would you beleive it, the phone actually offers me a bunch of themes to choose from, Auto Rotate feature for a few native apps too, interface problems have been dissipated, plus there is BATTERY CALIBRATION option in it (How cool !!).
Lenovo really really needs to give us everything that they have developed for their latest phones in their flagship K900. Dell makes Intel phones, so does Asus & now Acer has also ventured into it. Everyone faces issues because of the seamless integration of software & the alien Intel hardware required, but not available (& therefore needs to be developed, tested, tested & tested by these computer giants). You guys have the infrastructure & ppl to do it!! So do it!! Blue Ocean Strategy ppl......c'mon !!!
Also, Lenovo needs to do some buyer research. Most of the loyal users of K900 (Worldwide) are previous Intel processor users (Phonewise). We Intel-users have a habit of keeping these phones for a good 2 - 3 years. With this kind of a battery & the tedious process of taking care of it, my dreams of long & solid use have gone POOF!! But you still have to make good the money you have spent on this phone, right? So therefore Im trying to look at the positives..............MOSTLY!!
I personally don't care about upgraded OS version numbers. I don't mind everyone running the 4.4 Kit Kat, while I'm still running the MOST STABLE & the FASTEST available version of 4.2.1 in the entire market.
Last words........Lenovo......A sincere request.......Please give me something I can be proud of.......Usage-wise & not just Looks-wise.
Thanks & Regards,
A Concerned Loyalist
