Brand new droid 2 global there is a ? in the battery indicator
hi i just got this droid 2 global last tuesday and today i noticed a ? in the battery indicator today. thinking it was odd i turned off and pulled battery, then put it back in. still there. when i put in the charger it tells me battery is not compatible with the phone. i switched batteries with my gf droid 2 global and the battery worked fine with hers, but her battery when put in mine still showed the ? in the indicator....plz help
The ? indicates an issue with the battery, from your description it's hard to tell if you may have a bad battery or if it's an issue with the connection to your phone. Your best bet would be to tasked the phone back and get the whole thing replaced. If you do it before the new 14 day return window, you should be able to get a new replacement which would include a new battery. Beyond that, they may try to give you a refurb, which it's just as good as new, but normally doesn't include the battery or back cover. They will probably have you do a factory data reset first (menu> settings> privacy> factory data reset) so you may want to try that, but I have a feeling it won't help.

My brand new MacBook Pro retina display not charging the battery any more after 3 weeks...no green or red Led. Any one now about this problem? Thanks
Either the power brick is damaged, or the charging circuit is on the blink, or both. Either way, a trip to the Apple Store or the Apple Authorized Service Provider is in order, as this ain't no bargain basement toy.
In the meantime, can attempt an SMC Reset to see if it helps. -
Why does my brand new MacBook pro have 13 cycles on the battery right out of the box?
Why does my brand new MacBook pro have 13 cycles on the battery right out of the box? Shouldn't it have 0 because it's brand new.

Yes it should have 0. I would return it, that means that the battery has already went through 13 full cycles. Perhaps they accidentally resold a returned one as new. -
i have seen many other threads about this, but i just want to know if anyone has found a fix that actually works? or do i just need to wait for apple to send a fix in their next update?
Suppose you elaborate on what you are doing with the MBP that makes the battery life terrible.

iPad is not recognized in iTunes. Just installed Mac OS X 10.6 and have a brand new iPad2. Tried all suggestions in the iPad manual without success.
Quit iTunes, restart your Mac and then restart the iPad and see if the iPad is recognized after that. If not, you can look through these articles.

If you are running Snow Leopard 10.6 ....

Why does Firefox, like others, feel it's so important that their updated browser have a "brand new look"? I don't want a "brand new look." I'm happy with the look as it is. So I will NEVER go to Firefox4.
Firefox is highly customizable and you can customize Firefox 4 to look like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6

I cannot send emails with pics using the stock email app on my new Droid Turbo, it holds them in the Outbox and won't send even if I move to Inbox and resend
First check to make sure you have data turned on and not just Wi-Fi. From reading your question you seem to be saying e mail is working just not attached photos. What size are the photos as some HD photos can't be sent. Your camera may be set at a very high picture size and you can go to settings and lower the size and that may solve your mailing problem.

I have the new iPad. Even with airplane mode on, my battery life is extremely limited. Is there a problem with the battery? I used to have the ipad2 and had no such problem.
What is your brightness setting & how many apps are open?
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

new out of box , unable to switch on is there a problem with the battery as i thopugh it should be partly charged.
Plug it in for 15 minutes. If it doesn't come on hold the HOME button (the round one) and the SLEEP button (the one on the top) at the same time until an Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). If nothing appears on the screen after 30 seconds you have a dead phone; take it back for exchange.

I have a second generation shuffle and even though (after charging) the green battery light is on it soon turns orange and red. Is there a problem with the battery and if so is it fixable?
If it's a 2nd gen shuffle, it is probably about six years old at this point. The cause is likely to be a worn out battery that is no longer able to hold its charge for very long.
It is technically fixable. This web site has repair guides
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Shuffle
But it is very small, so you need to be good at doing such things. The cost to have a repair shop do the work is likely to be uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50), which has more features (and possibly double the storage) plus a one-year warranty. -
Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?
Please take the Mac to Apple store to have it checked out.
