Battery unable to be removed

Week old 15in C2D MacBook Pro and just bought another battery for it. I am trying to switch batteries but I can't seem to remove the one that came with it. I have pushed on both tabs together until orange appears beneath. Somehow the battery is not popping up as it says it should do in the manual. Should I return the MacBook for another one?
C2D MacBook Pro 15in Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I might be a little late in on this, but I was having this problem just this morning, and I think I found a solution for it (and also a way to prevent it happening again.)
First, the prevention: when you replace a battery back into the machine, make sure that edge that is away from the latches is pressed against the far edge of the machine as you lay the battery in. In other words, don't just slap the battery in there, lay the far edge in first and kind of slide it in. The latch makes a much more satisfying sort of click, and the battery comes right out again when you use the tabs.
To get it unstuck from the time I wasn't so careful in putting it back, I gently pressed my thumbs against the battery and slid it away from the latches (while they were showing no orange) then used the tabs normally. It popped right out.
I'd need a physicist to tell me if there's any danger to the battery or the machine from the little bit of pressure I put on it, though.

Unable to add/remove users in Mountain Lion Server (Options are greyed out)

For some reason, im unable to add/remove users in Mountain Lion server. The + and - are greyed out. It seems like something is wrong with the permissons because it looks like it cant write the the Ldav3 file (although that may be speculation). Does anyone have any advice for me? I URGENTLY need to add users.
Maybe theres a way to restore default permssions for the boot drive (if that in fact is the issue). Hopefully there is a way that I can fix this while leaving all users, groups, their permissions and shares intact.

Since it's far and away the most common cause of problems with OS X Server and with distributed authentication (Open Directory is entirely based on network encryption and digital certificates and on responses from your local DNS server(s)), verify your local DNS configuration is working and requires no changes with the following Terminal.app (Applications > Utilities) harmless, diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
sudo requires an administrative password. You might get a one-time warning about the sudo, and that can safely be ignored. The command will display some details, and indicate whether the local configuration appears valid and no changes are required, or further diagnostics for (most) common errors that can arise.

Very secure BB Curve 8320 - wipes itself if the battery dies or is removed

I seem to have purchased an interesting BB last year. If I let the battery die or even remove it from the BB I then lose everything and have to reload the OS and restore my last backup. This has become very painful as I have acquired some apps I like and I hate to keep reinstalling them.
T-Mobile BB Curve Titanium 8320
v4.5.0.81 (platform 2.7.0.78
This occurs even with a fresh install of the default apps.
Pulling the battery requires a new install of the OS
BT doesn't matter as this occurs even with a fresh install with nothing else having been done to the device but pull the battery or let it die.
doesn't matter if the SIM is in or not
doesn't matter if the microSD card is in or not
Replicate:
when the device is completely wiped and there is no OS, and the light flashes RED (5 times?)
reinstall the OS, accept the defaults
when completed then pull the battery
screen goes black
put battery back in
begin loop
screen remains black
LED flashes RED (5 times?)
screen remains black
return
end loop
rinse and repeat until you are tired of this game
anyone else have this issue or am I the only one with this advanced security feature?

I don't understand how this is any advanced security feature. Seems more like a problem.
I would recommend you upgrade the device to the latest 8320 OS release, the one you're using is quite out of date.
1. Do a complete backup of the device if you can, using Desktop Manager.
2. Wipe the device first (options > security > general settings > menu key > wipe handheld).
3. upgrade. See the instructions in the link below for download link and instructions.

I just recalibrated my battery and now cannot remove anything from my dock. Don't know if this has anything to do with it or not. I have moved it up the screen and held it and still returns to the dock. What now?

I do not know if this has anything to do with my problem or not. I just recalibrated my battery and now cannot remove anything from the dock. I have moved it half way up and held it and it just goes back to the dock. Will not let me even put it in the trash. I am new to the macbook so would you please help me?

There is NO calibration on a modern macbook
Battery calibration, battery memory, battery overcharging, battery training, …all these concepts are mostly holdovers from much older battery technology, and on older Apple portable Macbooks ranging from early nicads, NiMh and otherwise; and these practices do not apply to your lithium battery and its smart controllers.
Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and are not to be calibrated
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1490
There is no battery calibration with current Apple portable Macbooks with built-in batteries. Lithium batteries have essentially a 0-‘memory’, and all such calibration involve the estimations fed to the system controller on the SOC (state of charge) of the battery over long periods of time as the battery degrades. The software based battery controller knows the battery's characteristics, or SOC and adjusts itself. This is why there is both no need and purpose to periodically deeply drain your macbook battery, since it doesn’t affect the characteristics of the battery, and further still deep discharges are something you should not do on purpose to any lithium battery.

Unable to safely remove my iPod Nano when finished charging

I get this message "unable to safely remove at this time" always, so the only way to remove it is to shut down my computer. Any suggestions please?

Hello camsaw,
The following article may provide more helpful information:
Safely disconnect iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1853
When iPod is connected to a computer there are times when it should not be disconnected by simply unplugging the USB cable. In these cases, iPod must first be ejected before it can be safely disconnected. Read the information in this article to determine when an iPod can be safely disconnected.
Thanks,

I recently performed a upgrade from 7.0.5 to 7.0.6 and I found that my phone battery drain up very fast and the battery unable charge to 100. Besides, the battery live is going down when I charging with 3G on.Any solution for my issue? Please help.

Hi, I had my iPhone 4S and I'm recently upgraded it from 7.0.5 to 7.0.6 and I found the battery drain up very fast if compare to iOS 7.0.5. Besides, I also unable to fully charger my phone to 100% now - max is 85% with phone either in airplane mode or switch off totally
May seek help from your advise on above case.
Thank you
Best regards,
Adrian

Try killing the battery (Let it drain---turning on all the settings, playing a video, and having the brightness up kills it faster), then let it fully charge from there. Let me know if that works.

None of my battery (built-in and removable) are charging and both to 0%

Dear all,
I have a Thinkpad T440s (Windows 7 /Ubuntu dual boot) for 1 year.
Everything went fine at the beginning with the battery. I then had several problems with the removable battery charging only to 63%. Now the problem is even more bothering because both batteries are at 0% but none of them is able to reload... So my computer only works with A/C...
I have the Lenovo power manager (from the beginning) telling me that battery 1 (built-in) is 0% and is charging (but it doesn't in fact..) and battery 2 is 0% and without activity.
I have tried thousands of tricks like reinstalling the power manager app, resetting the built-in battery (in the BIOS), play with the threshold or alimentation modes. I don't know what to do at the moment......
Please bring me some help, I'm desperate!
Thanks in advance
Kind regards,
David

Hi David,
Have you performed the above troubleshooting which was provided earlier?
If yes and the issue still persist, then it could be related to the hardware issue. You have to visit nearby Lenovo authorized service center for further assistance.

Unable to install/remove iTunes

Hey there- for the past two days, I have been struggling with the upgrade of my iTunes to iTunes8.I am using XP, on a lenovo x300 laptop. Here is what I have done so far- any further help would be so appreciated:
1. Selected "upgrade" on iTunes 8 (included Bonjour, Quicktime, and the mobile apps)
2. Upon sucessful installation, I rebooted, and was unable to launch iTunes.
3. Recived msg- "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close"
4. Uninstalled all apples apps- itunes, quicktime, bonjour, etc.
Rebooted
Reinstalled iTunes.
Same issue
Came to the support section here- and removed everything from the system (installed the Windows Install Clean Up)
Attempted to reinstall Quicktime as a stand-alone. Took over 30 minutes to download, launched the install, appeared to install correctly. I then went to launch the Quicktime app, and got another msg- "quicktime has encountered a problem"- this time on the error message- it is referencing the following EventType : BEX P1 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P2 : 7.55.90.70
P3 : 48ba1f5c P4 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P5 : 7.55.90.70 P6 : 48ba1f5c
P7 : 0000130d P8 : c0000409 P9 : 00000000
I have no earthly idea what to do at this point. I have removed all aspects of iTunes, quicktime, etc from my user, all users, etc.
From C:\Documents and Settings\myname\Application Data- no quicktime even appears to be available, despite just completing the installation.
Please help! Thanks in advance

I have tried like **** to fix this problem. To No avail. I have 11.1.1.5 installed.
Every time I try install the update 11.2 it gives me the network resource error message.
I have tried uninstalling itunes, I've used the microsoft uninstall fix program. Nothing works.
Luckily I have a drive image of my starting point. I can get to a point when everything is uninstalled, but then I get a bunch of errors after installing iTunes like can't find starting point dll's and windows 127 errors. "Please reinstall iTunes."
Trying to install the new version from iTunes either by updating or by manually downloading results in the network resource error trying to find the old version. And trying to remove all remnants of the old version by uninstalling and using Microsoft Uninstall fix resluts in errors after reinstall.
This is totally frustrating. There HAS to be a way to clean this program mess up and get it working, but I am at a total loss.
Please! Any Ideas?!
Thanks,
Neil

If my MacBook won't start, is there a way to access my data without replacing the battery? Someone mentioned removing the hard drive?

I'm assuming that my MacBook won't start because it's been spilled on... It's happened once before and when I brought it in, all that was needed was a battery replacement. I have a brand new MacBook Pro and all I really want is my pictures, videos, music & other documents from my old MacBook.. Is there a way of getting all of that without buying a new battery, and then using Mavericks to switch over everything? A friend suggested that I just get all of it from the hard drive, but I don't really know much about that. Help?

If you can take the computer to somewhere or someone who has a known-good battery, and if the MacBook is dry, you could tell in quick order if a replacement battery would be worth it. Likely, you won't have been as fortunate more than once; electricity and water don't mix well, and short circuited or fried electronics result.
{There used to be a way to access one Mac from another if you could get the bad one to boot into Target Disk mode, but Intel-based macs didn't always work; they both needed FireWire ports & correct cable. If In an enclosure, you may be able to use a migration assistant utility.}
An authorized service tech with Apple certification in portable computers should be able to remove the internal hard disk drive, install it into an external enclosure, & test it, for a fee; once in an enclosure it may be accessed to see if the hard drive's data files on the drive, or at least sees them. Labor + parts?
Once the hard disk drive is removed, your user files would still have whatever account password protection needed to access them, but there are ways to migrate data from drives into another computer; in some cases the information on this may be tilted toward using a device you don't have, such as a Time Machine. If the data had been backed up on a Time Machine, it may have been possible to get it from that device using a method available in a Support article and put directly into another Mac.
If the computer has failed due to contact with moisture or a drink pouring over it, more than once, it may require more than a new battery to see if it'd work well enough to run and get data from its hard disk drive. You may pay quite a bit of money to have someone do anything at all.
How long ago did the MacBook get wet again? If several weeks ago, it may be dry inside. But may be damaged and the main logic board short-circuited or toast. So, it may not work even with the MagSafe attached due to other damages beyond a new battery. That could be a waste of money to buy one.
There are repair guides at http://ifixit.com which may help you determine if you can extract the HDD from the failed MacBook, but even then you'd have to install it into a suitable USB enclosure to gain access to data. Some drive enclosures already have a hard disk drive inside, so try and get one that would work with the MacBook's SATA hard disk drive, and with no HDD installed. One less thing to do.
So I know only enough about it to be dangerous.
And to troubleshoot the old MacBook may not
be worth the cost, if logicboard now is toasted.
Maybe someone else can say it direct w/ less words? LOL
Good luck & happy computing!

Unable to Edit/Remove Remote Systems using MDM 7.1

Unable to find an answer to this in either the forums or the Wiki...
Using MDM 7.1 through the SAP MDM Console 7.1.03.54
I can add a new Remote System, it comes up with the default values for the Remote System fields:
Name: New Remote System, Code: NewRemoteSystem, Type: Inbound, Key Generation: None
But I cannot modify the field values nor can I delete the Remote System.
The right-click context menu always has 'Delete Remote System' greyed out.
Nor do I see any mechanism to modify the fields' values. Moving to the Remote System Detail pane, none of the fields are edittable; I have tried left-clicking, right-clicking, double clicking, using the Edit tool bar menu - nothing lets me edit these fields.
My user account has the Admin role. Looking to the Admin role, it has Execute for all functions, and Read-Write to the Remote Systems in the Tables and Fields tab.
Any help would be appreciated.
