Battery shows 34% and the Macbook turn off

I am having a problem with my battery it shows that the battery has between 30% and 35% of charge but my macbook turns off and I can't turn it on until I plug the power. If I press to see if there is battery it flashes 3 lights.
I tried to upgrade the battery software but I already have the last version.
Is there a recall for batteries of macbook aluminium?

Your full charge capacity is far too low for just 98 cycles. Apple suggests that you should still have 80% capacity (perhaps 3600 mAH) at 300 cycles. "Verify the battery" is also a bad sign.
Try resetting the SMC:

And if that doesn't change your information, call AppleCare and demand a new battery, as yours has experienced a failure beyond the normal expectations.
Be certain that after you get your new battery, you calibrate it regularly (every 4-8 weeks):

Appeaers a message that battery is too slow and the phone turns off

When the battery is yellow since today appears a massage saying that the battery is too slow and the cellphone turns off! Whats going on? Before, it could have the battery in red buy never turned off :s i need help please. Ah! The emails are taking hours to arrive! I have the 9300 and im too upset!

This tends to indicate some rogue app running in the background or an email stuck in the outbox constantly trying to send.
Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
Check the outbox for all email accounts configured on the device to ensure no messages are "stuck".

Is the battery drained after it shuts itself off?

I bought iphone just 10 days back and I update OS 4.3.3 as apple said, after that I am facing a battery drain problem and also it turn off automatically while I was talking on phone with friends and family. I noticed 6 times. look like apple phone *****

I just bought apple i phone 4 10 days back from AT &T Retail outlet, then I set up account on itune and i saw to update the software version and i did it to 4.3.3, after that I am facing two problem 1) Battery is draining like water and 2) while I was talking on phone with family and friends It turn off automatically, Initially I thought I might made some mistake but afterward I noticed that It happen again and again without I touch anything on screen or at phone. I guess Apple suppose to do something and help the customers, anyway but I am still under 30 days warranty period I am going to return it back and I guess may be there are lot of other options available comparing iphone4. but Lets wait what kind of solutions apple bring to me.

Do you have a question or are you just here to rant?
No matter what the product, there will always be some off the line that are defective. It's a fact of life.
The phone has a 1 year Warranty, not 30 days. I'm sure they'll be happy to replace it for you.
Now, that said, have you bothered to sync the phone to make sure you don't have to come back whining because you got your phone replaced and now you can't find your stuff?

If not succesful try the remaining items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Restore iphone 4 to install the ios 5 but something went wrong while doing back up and whenever i connect the phone to itunes theres an error and the phone turn off after 1min

hi guys i just downloaded the ios 5 and while it was doing back up something went wrong and everything were stopped and shows me a message as an error msg and now whenever i connect my iphone 4(32g) to itunes after 1min it goes off and the battery full and the same thing happend again and again can u help me guys plz i only see connect to itunes on the screen no options even

by reset option do you mean the DFU restore? worked for me, have you tried that?
if not - hold the lock and home button until the power down bar comes up. then hold the lock button for ten seconds - next continue to hold the lock button and press the home button for ten seconds - next release the lock button and hold the home button for 10 seconds. this should be done with the phone tethered. If done right and your itunes is configured as such, the phone will reload the drivers and start up itunes, and then prompt for a restore/update.

HELP with restrictions AND the passcode 'turn off' option won't appear. How do I fix both problems?

Hi,
Since updating to the iOS 7.0.2 I have lost the ability to turn off the passcode lock. I put in my passcode and usually the "turn off" option would be available and I reenter my password a couple of time and I can turn it off. It doesn't even give me that option now. The feature is inaccessible. The Simple passcode option is not available either. I like to turn off the passcode lock when I'm at home because I find entering my passcode all the time when I'm at home quite annoying. I also noticed that it says the restrictions are 'on' and I have no idea how they were turned on and have no idea how to turn it off. I don't even know what the restrictions do. I tried typing in what I thought was the password and now have 4 failed attempts. I'm afraid I'm going to get locked out of my phone.
Do I have to reset my phone? Will that even work? What happened and what do I need to do to fix it? HELP!

The Restriction issues should be separate from the Passcode issue. If you cannot remember the Restrictions passcode, the only option is to restore the phone as new, and not use a backup. The Restrictions passcode is contained in the backup.
The Passcode issue. Is this Exchange account from work? If so, the Exchange administrator would be someone from the IT department. They can require a mandatory passcode on the device. It could very well be something from your username/password at work, but they should have advised you of that. Try turning the Exchange account off and then do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if you get access to the passcode settings. If so, then it is the Exchange account. You can turn it back on after that, but you will need to get information from the Exchange administrator. They could possibly be able to change Restrictions, so I would ask about that as well. If you cannot get a Restrictions passcode, as I said earlier, the only choice is to restore the phone as new, and then you would have to sync your content back individually.

HT1379 i tried to update and there was an error, i tried again. when i tried to start, i get the chime and a progress bar that goes about 25% then disappears and the computer turns off. nothing works. it does this every time i try to start

i just received a mac book pro from my dad. while trying to get used to it i tried to upgrade the os which failed because of an error. i tried again. when i tried to start later, i get a chime, and progress bar, and a spinning wheel. after 1 minute the bar is only progressed 25% then it disappears and the screen goes black. none of the keys work. I tried to re boot and the same thing happens. what do i do?

If it's new and you don't have anything on it yet, you can reinstall the OS from scratch. You don't say what OS or model, but try booting while holding down the Command and R keys. If you get the recovery partition, use Disk Utility to reformat the disk then reinstall.
This will wipe out everything on the drive though.

Video Error and the camera turns off

I really hate this camera
The latest failure to operate in shooting HD video.
After 2-3 minutes of shooting i get the error message:
Press Button to Activate Movie Shooting
I was using a Lexmark 400x Class 10 card and yesterday upgraded to the SanDisk Extreme Pro 600X card. I still get this error.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? It mades video shooting useless if it turns itself off.
Thanks Mark

Crotonmark30,
A card can be rated to write at certain speeds, like 90 MB/s, but that is almost always not the sustained write speed. A card can burst write up to that speed, but needs to be able to maintain a constant speed that is high enough to keep up with the camera during video recording. In this case, the card you use needs to have a sustained video write speed of at least 30 MB/s. Check with the manufacturer of the card to make sure your card is fast enough.

I need help doing a clean install.( keyboard shortcuts?).Macbook will not read any of the disks/ turns off

I installed a new 'used' Logic board, im my macbook 13.3 and it turned right on!..( i was out of warrenty)
Apple logo and spiing wheel, then turns off..
After reading several forums, I went into self mode, did the 2 checks within in and got an error which pointed to the OS software being currupted..
so I have inserted the Os disk, the disk-repair disk and a disk warrior disk, but none of them are being read. I hear the Macbook starting to read the disk then the disks are ejected and the systen turns off.
Is there a way i can do a clean install on the HD? shortcut keyboard shortcuts?
or force the disks to be read as the first boot device like of that in a PC's bios settup?
I have no data on the computer that I wish to save btw.. just want a fresh install..
thanks for any help in advance.

Unfortunately the necessary software to reinstall your OS is not located on the hard drive. If your MacBook will not accept the disks you have you are going to need a hardware repair, probably the optical drive.
If you have access to another MacBook you may be able to install the OS on an external hard drive and use that to boot your MacBook. You may then be able to get any data off of your hard drive.
Best of luck.

If you are in Hong Kong, go to Digital Trade, 1/F, Sincere Plaza, Argyle Street, and it will cost you 120-150HKD, but before you go check that your power button and home button are working correctly, if not press as hard as you can, hope this will help.
