Battery: unusually problem?

I'm afraid to change my battery , because I'm not sure that it has not been ruined by some other malfunction of my macbook pro.
In fact, the moi cycle counter tells me that the battery had only 30 complete cycles, and I have never been able to calibrate the battery because the computer turned off for lack of power rather than go to sleep .
The service said that instead everything is in order , but it was I stupid not to insist even more than I insisted.
Meanwhile, under apple care , my mac has been replaced the logic board for the famous defect in the graphics card.
However, the defect has remained unchanged to this day that the battery after only two and a half years of life in which he has never held more than twenty minutes.
I don't know what can be, and especially if it is wise to change the battery.
Currently my battery is down to zero , and my processor is running at half power (sigh) .
I do not want it ruined again to a hardware problem I do not know .
What can I do ?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Yoga 3 Pro Battery Charging Problems

I've combined several discussions into one because there are multiple cross-overs of symptoms.
After reviewing all the posts, I see there are two types of problems discussed:
Battery charging but only to a certain percentage
Battery intermittently charging
Several people have reported success with their limited battery percentage problem by following the solutions suggested by MarinM and Vladtech.
For the intermittent charging, several people have reported that sometimes the battery charges, sometimes it doesn't. I'd like to dig into these reports. I have a few questions I'd like to ask.
When does it charge, when does it not?
Are there any patterns to this?
Does swapping electrical outlets make a difference?
Does the USB 2.0 charging port appear loose?
Does the cable show any signs of damage?
Does the AC adapter show any signs of damage?
When a second device is plugged into the extra USB port on the AC Adapter, does this impact Y3P charging?
Are there any battery error messages?
Thank you for your help,

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

As far as trying to power up your device, make sure it has a good charge and then hold the button on the top of the phone and the home button on the faceplate together until the apple appears on the screen.

2nd dead iPod Touch 4G in 2 months? Battery/charging problems!

Hi everyone,
It seems as of tonight that I will have to return my second iPod Touch 4G in the last two months. In both cases, it was an issue where the device would no longer charge, and became very hot on the top of the back panel when the device was turned on even for a few seconds (while not being plugged in). In the first case, the device seemed to be defective from the time I opened the box, which was confirmed at an Apple Store, but they asked me to ship it to Apple Repair to be checked out. Apple took a very long time to get a replacement to me, but was good about that problem, and I was happy with the replacement for the past month when all of a sudden tonight the new one would not change and became very hot.
Is this an issue that anyone else has seen? I essentially only charged it off of my laptop or a wall charger unit, but it seems like the battery essentially is shorting out. I love this device, but actually need to use a PDA-type device enough that I am questioning whether I should get a replacement or go back to my old Palm TX.
Thanks for any thoughts/feedback on my iPod Touch 4G battery/charging problems.

Most battery complaints complain about loss of charge. The iPod is designed to lose heat through the back as the battery discharges. This is most common when using the device a lot - like playing games. If yours will no loner charge, by all means return it to Apple.
As far as being a PDA goes, it is as good as any smart phone out there. The PDA, as you once knew it, is dead and has been for 5+ years. Take your iPod to an Apple store and insist on a replacement.

I'm trying to resolve a battery usage problem

I'm trying to resolve a battery usage problem on my iPhone 5S ...
Have been working with an Apple agent via chat and I'm 99% certain it's a software problem, but I can't isolate wish software ...
So, I'm going to set up my iPhone up as new (when I did this as part of identifying where the problem is, it help its charge for 24 hours) but I have a problem with photos ...
I can see photos on my iPhone (restored from an iCloud backup) up to date, but on my iMac/iPhoto with my iPhone attached i) I can only see photos on my iPhone up to a date in the past (mid October 2014) and ii) iPhoto says all photos have already been imported ...
How can I (can I) get the more recent photos onto my iMac e.g. into a folder and then import them from there into iPhoto?
Also, why is the restore from an iCloud backup taking so long (it's been 14 hours now) when I'm pretty certain everything's now there that should be?

Just to add ... my real problem is that I can see photos on my iPhone, but in iPhoto with the iPhone connected, I can only see photos up to a certain date - weird?!!!

Unusual problem using Arial Black font with #'s

We have encountered a rather unusual problem.
Recently one of our customers contacted us about a problem with their job. They used #'s in arial black and regular throughout their document. Everywhere the #'s were in Arial Black they came out looking like an entirely different font. All of the files that we have created from their document appear correctly. Even the proofs created from the files printed correctly. However at the point of Esko's Nexus program creating the tiff file to make the press plates we are getting the incorrect results. I have even created a new document using our fonts in multiple sizes and I am getting the same results. As you can see the rest of the text in the same font is imaging properly. It is only the #'s that are the problem.
This is a screen capture of the PDF I created:
This is a screen capture of the results from the plate tiff image:
I am positive that it is not an issue with Esko's Nexus software as I have recreated this text in Quark, Miccrosoft Word, and Microsoft Publisher and they all imaged properly.
I am only encountering this with Adobe software. I am getting the same results from both InDesign and Illustrator. I have run the file from multiple Macs with various OS systems and from a PC each with their own font sets. I have even run the file from all versions of InDesign that we own (CC2014, CC, CS6, CS5.5) and they ALL give me incorrect results. As you can see from the images above it is ONLY the # character in Arial Black that is a problem.
I'm at a loss as to how to solve this problem.

Unusual problem with N95

Hello guys, as title says i have an unusual problem with my Nokia n95. Friend gave me few days ago and I wanted to update software at it, i did it few HRs ago (from 21.x to 31.0.017) and now I have problem. The thing is from when i did the update the phone keep lighting camera and up-down buttons from some time intervals( i'm not sure how much). I even did Initial restart and i've re-installed software also.. Any idea how to fix this ?
Thanks anyway!

Yeah thats what i did last, for now it's not lighting every time just when I ( for example enter camera, make photo/zoom and close application,after that i'ts lighting for few minuts), it's not about mask, I've tested it already with not mask ..
It never happened before I updated the device..

Unusual problem with NumPad

I have quite an unusual problem with my iMac and I'm hoping someone has the answer. I will do my best to explain what's going on.
I started using a new program called Blender, which is an open source 3D modeling suite. In it, there are hotkeys which are required to function the program, like, CONTROL + NUMPAD 1, 2, 3 and so on...
I have a full size keyboard with NUMPAD, so this is not a problem for me. However...
When I attempt to press CONTROL + NUMPAD 1 (for example), it does not trigger the correct function in Blender. Instead, it switches SPACES to the corresponding SPACE. So, if I press CONTROL + NUMPAD 3, it displays my THIRD SPACE.
This seemed simple enough to fix. I opened System Preferences, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts and changed the hotkeys for SPACES to COMMAND, rather than CONTROL. However, this did not fix the problem entirely. Even though it managed to disable my top row of numbers as hotkeys for switching spaces, it did NOT change the NUMPAD functionality. If I hit CONTROL + NUMPAD 3, it STILL switched to my third space, despite me altering the hotkey to be COMMAND + #. It continues...
I didn't really need this functionality from SPACES so I decided to try disabling it altogether. Once again, I opened System Preferences, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts but THIS time, I unchecked "Switch to Desktop 1,2,3,4" hotkeys so as to disable the funtionality entirely. Despite this, it STILL did not work. I was STILL able to press CONTROL + NUMPAD #, and switch to the corresponding SPACE. I restarted OS X hoping something might change but it did not. I CANNOT disable this functionality and it is hijacking the ability to operate the Blender program.
The problem gets stranger...
I ask my Fiance, who has an identical iMac AND keyboard, running OS X Lion just as I am to attempt to perform similar actions. She was NOT able to switch SPACES by pressing CONTROL + NUMPAD #. Ironically, under HER system preferences, the keyboard shortcuts were all enabled and defaulted to CONTROL + #, yet she could not duplicate my problem on her iMac. As you can imagine, I was getting quite confused at this point and very frustrated. We tried switching keyboards. Same thing. On my iMac, I cannot disable the SPACES hotkey CONTROL + NUMPAD # and on my Fiance's iMac, she can not ENABLE it.
In summary, whenever I press CONTROL + NUMPAD #, OS X switches to the corresponding SPACE. I've tried disabling the shortcuts under System Preferences but the problem persists. My Fiance has the exacty OPPOSITE problem and cannot enable the functionality. It's not the keyboard and we're running identical iMacs running OS X Lion. Any help would be INCREDIBLY appreciated! Thanks!

As a matter of fact, I do have a solution, at least, one that one my laptop.
First, a couple of trouble shooting steps:
Create a new user a log as the new user. If the new user doesn't have they Control-Numpad issue, you are probably looking at a user preferences issue.
Start in safe mode (hold shift while booting). Any number of extensions may map these keys for you (as a favor, of course)
That said, I suspect that this is a user preferences issue; such as it was for me.
The solution is to remove the symbolichotkeys property list file; it should be regenerated cleanly when you next log in. The two files you need to remove are:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist.lockfile
I always suggest having a system backup before fiddling, and I moved the files to my desktop temporarily (just in case!) before rebooting, testing, and finally deleting them.
Here is some information on the files:
http://hintsforums.macworld.com/showthread.php?t=114785
Let me know if that solves your problem; it was a bear to track down.

Is the 10.7.2 fixed battery drain problem ?

there is no information anywhere and I wonder if this problem is fixed ?

I wonder what percentage of users has that problem? Maybe I need to retest that one Unibody MacBook battery again with Snow Leopard, we always got poor life with Windows on it.
I will double check also the new 2011 MBP, unfortunately, we have no reference to what is a good battery life on that one. It is a new system. It definitely had no effect on our old white MB.
(Now I am having serious battery life problem with my 2010 Touch could that be an OS?)

Unusual Problem in SAP Query

Hi Experts,
I am facing a very Unusual problem in during SAP Query Devlopment.
In Input screen I am taking value as User , which is coming from User02 table and field name is
Bname . In USR02 table Username is maintained boths as Numeric num ( like 1236533) and Username wise ( Like gd.anil etc).
But While running the query , Its execute only when giving the nUmeric Num , It wont executes if i give the name like gd.anil .
This gd.anil is also maintained in USr02 table .
Can anyone tell me why its happening.
Thanks .
Koro

If the user ID is actually stored as lower case, then it was entered directly or with a screen field that doesn't have a screen mask. You are most likely using the DB field in your selection screen and it's being converted to upper case after entry but before selection. Have you debugged the generated program? You should see this in the query.

Fix battery discharge problem?

I have been working with this for 2 weeks w/o success.
Lawrence Finch and others have helped.
First, I tried the battery recalibration and it seemed to work.
I could pass the " battery drain test".
That didn't last.
Now, when I redid the drain test, neither the usage time nor
standby time changed in 5 minutes - that's weird.
Next, I'll try Scotty's suggestions about Background ap refresh.
Following a suggestion, I upgraded this week to iOS 8.1
Alas, that failed, too.
After upgrading to 8.1, the problem remains.
After recharging my phone, I use for one or two calls, one or two messages.
Otherwise, it has been sitting.
During the first upgrade to 8.0.2 some weeks ago,
I added a pass code and downloaded NUMBERS, an app I use heavily on my Mac.
Could either of those be the problem?
I've searched the on-line manual for how to delete NUMBERS to no avail.
I just redid the"battery drain test" suggested weeks ago: noted standby and usage times, pushed the standby
button to put it to sleep, came back 7 mintues later. Result: no change in either standby or usage times.
Previously, I did get a result indicating a battery drain problem.
The battery is dead in 24 hours.
Should I give up and head for the Apple Store?
I'm really getting frustrated.
Thanks so much for your patience,
Thanks in advance for your help.
Many thanks for your previous responses and suggestions!!

Unusual Problem caused by/with flash?

An unusual problem recently developed from flash and cannot resolve. I am running windows XP service pack 3 and i have flash 10.1 running. The problem that i have run into is this, when i have the internet browser open and i leave it idle for 5 minutes a windows error message comes up that says:
Could not find file "Flash.ocx"
Prior to 8/10/2010 this never happened, additionally I have looked in the appropriate folders on my system and the program seem to be there. I have also checked the program with Adobe and there system says program is up to date and functioning properly on both internet browsers that I use which are: IE8 and Google Chrome. Can anyone help to identify this problem as i am unsure of what steps to take to correct this issue and Microsoft has become completely useless.

Hi, I would not suggest a System Restore, especially if you have all Flash Player files and the SWO correctly Installed.
There could be another reason if you continue to get that message. System Restore is not a "fix" per se, it is there for your Windows Operating System in case of failure. I know people use it for other reasons, but just speaking for myself, I never have. I just research and find out the solution to whatever issue I may have at the time.
Any add on in your IE browser from whatever source can conflict with the browser, Flash Player (the SWO ActiveX Control) or other add ons. Especially any Anti-Virus program add ons. So you may want to check those to see if that is happening. Toolbars and their browser add ons also.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Open Flash and post back all files listed there just to make sure they are correct.
Thanks,

Unusual problem, my mail in inbox dissapears!

Hi,
Just got an new Mac Mini. Imported everything automatically from my old G4 onto it. But....
My Mail Inbox is acting strange. ALL THE OTHE MAILBOXES ARE FINE, but the inbox shows I only have 91 messages when I used to have around 1000!!
On top of this, a random selction of messages in (and only in) the inbox don't display and instead show in italics something along the lines of "message cannot be displayed as it cannot be downloaded until account is taken online" or something along those lines.
The thing is, the account IS online and is working fine in all other aspecs. It is a POP3 account.
I have tried re-importing manually. No luck.
ANY IDEAS ANYONE? I NEED MY MAIL BACK!!!!
Thanks

Hi RedHavoc.
Not sure what makes you think this is an unusual problem. Actually, it's quite common. The conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x is broken. Take a look at the following thread to better understand the problem:
Help! "You need to take this account online in order to download it."
In particular, you may want to take a look at the following article (also referenced in that thread) to learn what you might have done before upgrading to minimize the risk of this happening, and what you may do after fixing the problem to avoid similar issues from happening in the future. DON'T do now what the article suggests, though, as that would make things worse in the current situation:
Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty
More specifically, if this is a POP account, the following procedure should allow you to fix the Inbox problems:
1. Quit Mail.
2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to fix the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. Create a new folder on the Desktop and name it however you wish (e.g. Inbox Old). It doesn't need to have an .mbox extension.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/.
5. Move the files mbox and Incoming_Mail out of INBOX.mbox, into the Inbox Old folder just created on the Desktop. These files contain all the messages that were in the mailbox before the upgrade to Tiger, and maybe even some messages that had been deleted. mbox is the most important. Incoming_Mail may or may not be present.
6. Move any strangely-named Messages-XXXXXX folder to the Desktop (not into the Inbox Old folder). These folders are to be deleted after fixing the problem. They are temporary folders created during an import or an indexing process, and Mail should have deleted them when done. Their presence is a clear indication that something didn't work as expected. If you've been using Mail after the conversion and have already tried to fix the problem by rebuilding the mailbox or something like that, they might contain messages that are neither in Messages proper nor in the mbox file, so keep them around until the problem is fixed.
7. Move everything else within INBOX.mbox, except the Messages folder, to the Trash.
The result of the above should be that INBOX.mbox contains the proper Messages folder only, and the Inbox Old folder on the Desktop contains the mbox and Incoming_Mail (if it exists) files only. Now, proceed as follows:
8. Open Mail.
9. The account's Inbox should properly display in Mail as many messages as *.emlx files are in ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/. If that's not the case, select the mailbox in Mail and do Mailbox > Rebuild.
10. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Other as the data format, and follow the instructions to import the Inbox Old folder that's on the Desktop. Do with the imported mail whatever you wish. You may move to the account's Inbox the messages that Mail failed to convert properly, and delete those that did get through and, hence, are duplicates now.
The following collection of AppleScripts has a Remove Duplicates script that can be useful for removing duplicate messages:
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
If all is well and you're not missing anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
Ask for any clarifications or if you need further assistance.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.

Nikon Coolpix L100 Battery Exhausted Problem

Hi,
I have recently bought a new Nikon Coolpix L100 Camera just 6 days back from a Best Buy Store. I am running with Battery Exhausted issue for each turn on. Even I tried to change the new battery , the problem doesn't change any behaviour and the outcome is remain same. I am really helpless to find out the cause of this problem whether this is a problem with the Camera or with Battery. As I have purchased this recently , I would like to replace this.
Please help me out on this.
Thanks in Advance,
Anil

Hi anilkhamari,
If you've tried using brand new AA batteries, and you continue to have issues with your new camera having no power, Nokia is most likely correct that your camera is defective.
With that being said there are certain measures you can take to conserve battery power, and enhance how long your camera has power. First thing you could try is using Lithium AA batteries. This type of battery will have a much longer charge than the average alkaline battery. The LCD is the part of the battery that uses the most power by far, and there are usually settings on a camera that can save power by adjusting the brightness level of its LCD. I would also suggest you make sure the power button is always turned off while the camera isn't being used, and that it isn't inadvertently being turned on while in your camera bag.
If you do feel like your camera is defective you should be able to return or exchange the purchase as long as it was purchased in the last 14 days, and the purchase is older than 14 days you should be able to get it repaired by the cameras manufacturer's warranty. I would suggest bringing it to your local Best Buy® store, and they should be able to take care of you.
I hope this helps!
