Battery status in the menubar...

Hi,
I have a second problem in my new OS. I cannot choose a battery setting from the menubar.
It only shows the following:
Battery status
Power source
"Show" –>
Energy save preferences.
Right now the only way for me to change settings is to open up system preferences and check the setting I want to us.
thanks

Hi,
That change appears to be 'intentional' on Apple's part. Why? Who knows. But there are many posts here lamenting the same thought.

Is there a way to turn on battery status on the iPod touch 5

Does the iPod 5 not have battery status indicator the same as the iPhone 5?

No. That display is only iPad and iPhone.

In ML, I can no longer see the wifi status in the menubar

Since I upgraded to ML, the right side of my menubar would regularly freeze, and the fans on my MacBook Pro 13" would keep running, with the mac slowing over time until it would become unusable. I found the suggestion to disable the "show wifi status in menubar" in the Network pref pane, and this indeed resolved the issue. However, trying to turn this setting back on does not work. There is no way to bring it back...I tried so far to reboot, repair disk permissions,...
Any idea?
Thanks,

If the checkbox does not bring it back try this...
It could be SystemUIServer which is a background process that specifically controls the right hand side of the menu bar where those menu extras are.
Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". Then go to the Preferences folder and find and delete com.apple.systemuiserver.plist. Then go to the By Host folder also inside your Preferences folder and delete com.apple.systemuiserver.plist (also any with numbers). Then log out and back in, or restart. This should reset the right hand side of the menu bar to default.

How to reset battery status in menu bar?

After upgrading to 10.5.5 I experienced sudden loss of performance with both of my batteries.
Overnight the battery yielded only 45 min, and the recharge time was usually about 40 min as well.
As a result of frustration, I decided to crack open the case of 1 battery and connect a 12V 20W bulb to fully discharge the battery.
Possibly as a result of the deep discharge, the battery took 6 hrs to recharge, and now yields approx 3-4 hrs of power.
HERE IS THE PROBLEM. The battery status in the menu bar does not seem to reflect the battery's newly found performance.
It keeps says "40 min." left, and when it runs out of minutes, it displays: "Calculating ... remaining"
The same odd behaviour occurs when charging the battery. It says: "35 min" to full charge, and when it runs out of minutes it displays: "Battery finishing charging"
MOREOVER, yesterday, the low level power indicator appeared, but the computer kept working for another 1.5 hrs before going to sleep.
Finally the System profiler shows this information
Battery Information:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 1661
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 1361
Amperage (mA): -1203
Voltage (mV): 11441
Cycle Count: 71
After the deep discharge, the Full Charge capacity jumped form 640 to 1661.
That's good, isn't it?
But how can I reset the battery status in the menu bar to reflect the actual performance of the
battery? Or did the deep discharge damage something?
Regards

I talked to Apple repeatedly and they refused to replace the battery in spite of the many good arguments I brought forward. Their only argument is that the battery is old (was shipped in 2006)
I even requested them to ask their own technicians whether
it is normal for a battery with only 71 cycles to discharge so soon.
My request was declined.

Nokia e7 - belle update battery status

Hi
i upgraded my nokia e7 to nokia belle recently and I was very excited but after the update I found out that there no longer was a battery status showing the percentage left. I really liked the old battery status so you would know how much battery life is left. It is just a bit weird that a very good thing from the previous version is discontinued on the belle version. I'm sure many others would agree with me on this..
Solved!
Go to Solution.

the battery level in the new structure has the same 7 levels... you can check it out just like that... not necessarily you would need a visible info on the battery level
anyways
All 7 parts filled up - 100%
6- 80%
5-65%
4-50%
3-35%
2-20%
1-10%

'Service Battery' status after upgrade to 10.9.2

After I upgraded my MBA mid 2012 to OSX 10.9.2....I keep seeing the battery status show up as 'Service Battery' very regularly....most of it shows up and a few times, it shows regular 'Battery' status.
The charge cycles for the battery is currently at just 367...and I believe Apple promises atleast 1000 charge cycles
What is going wrong here ?
Is this a software bug or is it really my MBA's battery that is going down ?
Help appreciated.

Chandan

Miix 3 does not show battery status in Taskbar

Hi,
I own a new Miix 3 that works w/o problems. But it does not show the current battery status in the task bar or anywhere else. I checked windows' Device manager. There is no battery listed, only the external power device. I assume Windows 8.1 does not recognize the tablets' battery or the driver is missing. It seems the software/drivers is up to date.
Does anyone else have the same problem or see a solution for that problem?
Thanks in advance,
Kauzi

Being able to see at a glance which files are checked out/by whom below each thumbnail would be infinitely valuable, and is therefore not an option in Bridge Thumbnail Preferences. :)
If you enable Tooltips in Thumbnail Preferences, the Vc status is shown there, but one still must click or hover over each and every file to get the real Vc status. And of course, as you pointed out, the Vc status is always available for individual files in the Inspector Panel.

Wireless mouse battery status

I have recently started using a wireless mouse from Logitech, on windows it is possible to obtain the battery status using the proprietary software. I've searched the web for a standalone program that would report that on linux but I didn't find anything that worked. I have stumbled upon locomo and lmctl [1] but neither works (scanning for supported devices returns "Unknown or Unsupported Logitech device").
KDE seems to be able to read and set some parameters of some mice [2], however I don't use KDE and there is no way of knowing if it would work with the mouse I'm using (M310). Is anyone aware of any other programs that might work? Preferably standalone programs.

Equium A60-191: What application controls battery status in system tray?

I have had to re-install XP. This caused the loss of the drivers and quite probably other stuff I don't know about.
One of the items missing seems to be the software or driver? for the battery. The battery no longer charges up to full power. The software that set in the system tray used to indicate the power status and whether it was ac or dc connected.
Any suggestions what I need and where I can get it from to fix this problem, please?

Hi
In my knowledge you dont need any drivers or software to charge the battery to full power. Only what you need is the Toshiba Power saver utility.
This utility is very useful because you can configure the different power modes for a different notebook usage. For example if you have disconnect the AC adaptor from the notebook the Power saver will automatically switch to the power mode which was configured for the battery usage.
Such modes help to take care of battery and increases the battery life time and it shows a battery status in the task bar
But it has nothing to do witch the battery charging.
In my user manual I have found many info about the battery and how to handle the battery usage. I think the same information you will find in your user manual. Check it.
The last possibility could be a battery malfunction.
But in such case only a battery replacement will solve your issue.
If you want you can try to check if the same happens with the new battery.

What BT headset shows battery status?

I have a Nokia BH-703 that has been acting strangely with my 3GS so I need to buy a new one.
1. I am looking at a Aliph Jawbone Icon or Prime or a Plantronics M100, Discovery 925 or 975. Which one is best or are there any others I should look at?
2. Which headsets show the battery status in the phone's display?

I have the Jawbone ICON. It works pretty well and it also shows the battery meter on the top of the iPhone screen.

Hi Tarun 49,
If you are having issues with your iPhone such as you describe, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

The battery status light on my N200

The battery status LED, on my N200 is ALWAYS on, its on even if it is running from batteries, or if it is on AC power, even if its fully charged the status light stays on..
is this normal? its a status light....so it should not be "always" ON, right?
Our sweetest songs tell of saddest thought

Ok, you are not resetting the TC.. that is just restarting it. Resetting means to hold in the reset button or use the utility to reset it.
When you say it goes dark, you mean it is not lit at all??
Do any errors show up in the airport utility?
I would say the TC is faulty but it maybe just a very minor issue if the wireless and backup is working.
I would recommend a full factory reset.
Unplug the TC power cord.
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in whilst you power the TC on.. it is helpful to have a friend (unless you have 3 arms).
Keep holding in reset without release for about 10sec after power on, until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and now redo the setup of the TC.. this will not harm any info on the hard disk but will reset the TC to factory and you will need to redo the setup.
I recommend this time around use all names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. Apple names have issues even with apple products.. see C9 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Once you have it setup again.. does the front LED now go green.. if not you might still have issues with the utility .. clear or ignore them.. what happens now??

Battery use by the APP GPS Status & Toolbox...What's Up with this APP???

Thursday - 12/15/2011
All,
When I turned on my phone this morning I decided to check my battery usage and what a surprise. But first let me say that in all the time my Charge had Froyo 2.2.1 and also using GB 2.3.6 my battery usage ALWAYS had "Display" as the biggest user of the battery. See attached Screen Shot
This morning the APP GPS Status was the biggest user of the battery even more than Display. I did check to see if GPS Status was running and it was NOT running. I have not even used GPS Status for several days.
What's up, does anyone know??? I hope this APP is not a stealth off spring of CarrierIQ!
JerryF
PS, After using the phone I re-checked battery usage about 3 hours later and Display was again the biggest user at 51% and now GPS Status is in second place at 19%.

Richs10 and OTHERS,
I think I figured it out and it appears that GPS & Toolbox is NOT constantly running and is no longer using battery power. It seems that once you use an APP it appears in the "Battery USE" display. Look at settings>about phone>battery use if you want to see your Battery Use display. Therefore, when you use an APP and it used a lot of battery juice it goes to the top of the Battery Usage list even though it is NO LONGER running.
It stays there until some other APP tops it as the biggest user or battery power or the Battery Use list is reset..
That said, go to the following URL because I found a way to reset my Battery Use display and GPS & Tool Box disappeared from my Battery Use list because it was no longer running.

I did try restoring the ipad a couple of times and it didn't do the trick. I also tried updating the firmware.
The only thing that worked for a while when the ipad - on it's own - rebooted itself into a black screen with white text and automatically fixed the issue. It worked perfectly for a couple of months but it came back after I forgot to charge the ipad , does anyone know how I can force the ipad into that screen again ?
