Change Battery Threshold (Lion 10.7)

Hey Guys,
     My MacBook Pro's battery is older, but I am sick of seeing the Replace Soon warning in the Menu Bar. Is there a way to change the thresholds that the Mac looks at for the battery?
Michael

Why don't you get a new battery?  It's the sure fire way of getting rid of the warning.

  • Apple TV changed battery screen shows setting  time etc now it will not start

    I had to change battery in remote (2nd gen apple TV) now it starts setting time etc screen is blank. I swithced it off waited 30 secs, no luck!!!!
    I cannot go to menu as it does not allow me. Has anyone got any suggestions??

    Here's what finally worked for me with Apple TV 3rd generation. Out of the box, when setup with wi-fi, it breezed through without any issue. As soon as I powered down and connected it to another tv (same wi-fi network), it got stuck at setting date/time. The remote would help in getting out of it, but the home would only have "Computers" and "Settings" and pretty much useless except for AirPlay. Here's what I did to resolve this:
    1. On your main router, temporarily disable the firewall or set it to the lowest setting allowable (a reboot of the router maybe required).
    2. Restart apple tv via the "restart" option in the "General" option in the main settings menu.
    3. It should breeze through and not show the "Setting date/time" screen.
    4. Once it loads up properly, turn on your fire wall as before  (a reboot of the router maybe required).
    I think it worked for me out of the box, but auto-update to the latest software introduced this bug. So, everytime apple tv tries to synch with the time server, this issue will come back. To disable this, I turned off the "auto time synch" option in Settings -> General.
    I am fairly confident that I'd be able to use steps 1 through 4 anytime this recurs. Possible scenarios causing recurrence of this issue:
    1. Unplugging the power to apple tv or power failures.
    2. OS updates.
    3. Restoring apple tv using "Restore" or via micro-usb and iTunes to the lastest OS.
    Hope this helps. Please post if this works for you.

    Hi,
    As far as I know, this management pack should be a sealed one, if threshold is not one of the override controlled parameters, then we are not able to change the threshold. We may need to create a custom rule with proper threshold. Or we may need to export
    the management pack and change the XML file.

  • My Apple TV controller stopped working with my tv box. I changed battery. But the remote controller works in the store and it controles my iMac . What is the problem?

    Hi Ron.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • My S5 IS Powershot gives "change battery" message

    My camera was working well until recently. Now, when in shooting mode, I get a message "change battery" or "charge battery" even though I have tried several sets of fully charged batteries properly inserted. In viewing mode I can see olf photos without trouble but in shooting mode I get the message.

     I happen to know a lot about the S5 iS model. Since you tried several good batteries the problem is after the battery.
    Inspect the inside of the battery compartment for dirt or corrosion on the contacts inside.A product called Deoxit 5 is good for cleaning that and wont hurt the plastics.
    If you have the AC adapter try using the camera with that, no battery, that could narrow it down as to where the problem is.
    Remove the battery and the date button battery close up the battery compartment and move the power levery to on-hold it there for at least 30 seconds.
    In the end if it is not an easy, no service needed fix the cost of a repair will most likely not be worth the value of the camera on eBay for instance.

  • Changed battery in laptop and now when trying to open dreamweaver cs3, I get "licensing for this product has stopped working"... contact customer support (thats a laugh).  So what now?

    Changed battery in laptop and now when trying to open dreamweaver cs3, I get "licensing for this product has stopped working"... contact customer support (thats a laugh).  So what now?
    it says:  You cannot use this product at this time.  You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT admin or Adobe customer support for help.
    Well it seems I am only able to install this on a maximum of 3 computers so if I uninstall and reinstall I may have used up all three.  What caused this in the first place?

    And most licenses extend to 2 machines; not 3.  Your computer's clock probably reset when you changed batteries. Is your computer's clock set to the correct date and time now?

  • Which setting should i use for battery threshold.

    After reading almost everything regarding this topic, i still having hard time to decide.
    I'm using my W520 95% of the time on AC adapter,
    I should let the power manager "Maximum lifespan mode" decide or should i set the battery threshold on some specific percentage ?
    Thanks.

    Hi OrElm!
    Check these Knowledgebase articles:
    "How can I increase battery life?"
    "Why did my battery lose capacity?"
    "Why did my battery die?"
    "Should I run with my battery in or out?"
    Hope they help! Ask if more questions.

  • Can you change battery, SSD Harddrive of the macbook pro retina

    can you change battery, SSD Harddrive of the macbook pro retina

    Officially? No and No.
    Unofficially, OWC has come out with some suitably expensive replacement storage cards that can substitute the "drive" on the Retina, but that's about it.  You're stuck with what you bought for life.
    Battery and RAM are soldered and glued on, can't be replaced without replacing the whole logic board.

  • Sensor says OPEN, it isn't. Changed battery, same results...

    My Kitchen Window sensor has been saying its OPEN, when it isnt. Changed battery, same message, don't like having to turn this zone off...Suggestions?

    I would check to make sure the magnet is close enough to the sensor. Once you installed the new battery did any lights on the sensor light up? How long  have you had the system? The worse case scenario is that your sensor has just broken.

    Did a restore on a 3rd generation ATV thru iTunes but ATV wont power up. I changed battery on remote too. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Did you follow the following instructions exactly:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

  • Why can't I scan with Printer MX 850 to my IMac since I changed to Mountain Lion?

    Hi! I have a Cannon MX850 printer/scanner. Used to be able to scan anything into .pdf to my IMac, but since I changed to Mountain Lion, nothing works. Has anyone solved this problem? Thanks in advance.

    There is a printer driver and ICA scanner driver available from Apple, as per this article. So with the MX connected to the Mac via USB, both drivers should be downloaded from Apple and you should then see a Print and a Scan entry under the same icon in Print & Scan. Do you only have the printer icon in Print & Scan?
    Also, for future reference, this is the Lion forum so please use the Mountain Lion forum.

  • Battery Mountain Lion

    After upgrading my Mac to my battery Mountain Lion has reduced its autonomy in a grotesque way. Apple needs to fix this as soon as possible, the spread of the Mac's always been a more powerful battery and my MacBook Pro's with the autonomy of my Vaio Notebook with more than three years of use.

    I have a 2011 Macbook Air 1.6 i5 128gb SSD 11 inch
    I was running Snow Leopard and used to get around 5-8hrs battery, then I moved to Lion and was still getting 6-7hrs battery life. 3 days ago did a fresh install (wiped my hard drive completely), and now only get 2 hrs approx.
    The OS is working fine and I love it, but the battery life issue is severe, that i can no longer use it for journey or around the office.
    I am looking to wipe again and move to Lion, but need to know when Apple may release a fix and if I should just wait a little longer.

  • When I upgraded to 10.7.4 I lost the ability to use a lot of my previous software that was intel based. My Adobe suites for example. So for $29 i now have to spend $1000's to get these to work. What has changed with Mountian Lion. I am not rich/

    When I upgraded to 10.7.4 I lost the ability to use a lot of my previous software that was intel based. My Adobe suites for example. So for $29 i now have to spend $1000's to get these to work. What has changed with Mountian Lion. I am not rich?

    The reason your applications do not work in Lion/Mountain Lion is that they were written for the older PowerPC CPU that all Macs used up to 2006.  When Apple made its transition to the Intel CPU, they licensed software that they included in all versions of OS X (from Tiger to Leopard and optionally, Snow Leopard) called Rosetta.
    Rosetta miraculously allows PowerPC applications to work on the Intel processor transparently; you do not know it is even present.
    The problem is that after 6 years of the transition, Apple's license to use the underlying software expired for OS X Lion and all version thereafter (and it is doubtful that the current owner of the software, IBM, would relicense it, even if Apple were inclined to do so).
    So you do not have to accept recriminations from others for previously using Rosetta without even knowing it was present and running!
    So for those of use that need to upgrade to Lion/Mountain Lion, I have offered the option to install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7:

    And now Mountain Lion:
    If you are unable or unwilling to update your inventory of PowerPC software, this solution offers you an alternative for not more than the $29 cost of Snow Leopard and $79 cost of Parallels (cheaper via internet sources).
    Full Snow Leopard installation instructions into Parallels 7 are here:
