Changing power settings from the battery indicator

i was wandering how to get the setting where you can change the battery settings (better energy savings, normal, better performance, custom) from the battery indicator at the top in the menu bar.
i could do this before where i would click on the battery indicator, under the drop down menu, i could click on any one of then options. but now those options are not there. i can only change the settings by going into system preferences.
cheers.

dammit! any way to get that feature back?

    This didn't work for me, so I did a bit of searching and TONS of pages later in google, I found an answer. Here are the steps for people who also were in my situation:
    1. Take off bottom case
    2. Unplug battery - blurry image here: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/03cC79r5Dx4/0.jpg
    3. Press and hold power button for 5 seconds
    4. Plug a charger in, and it should start booting up
    5. After shutting down again, reconnect the battery and close the case up
    6. It works! (hopefully, if you guys had the same situation I did)

  • When charging and using, ipad 2 is 100% battery, does ipad use the power from the power adapter or from the battery?

    I have a quention, when i am charging and using my ipad 2 at the same time, if the battery of ipad is fully 100%, does ipad use the power to work from the power adapter only or from the battery only or both? Thanks!

    YOu don't have to have your receipt. Apple should have a record of how long you've had the device. If you bought it in april 2012, then your 1 year warranty against manufacturer's defects is almost up. You should find your local apple store, make an appointment and take it in.

  • Is the battery indicator misleading??

    Hi all,
    I just got the new iPod 30GB and I notice that right after it's been fully charged, when I just listen to music, within 10-15minutes the battery indicator goes from full to 3/4. It seems like the battery indicator shows the battery is getting less and less power. Do I have a defective iPod, or is this just the nature of the beast. I haven't let go all the way to the end, so I can't say whether it is actually losing it's charge, but the indicator appears that the battery is running out faster than what I'm used to with my old iPod. 10-15 minutes and the indicator going from full to 3/4 quarters seems a but fast right??
    Is anyone else running into this problem? I am not playing much video on it, so it's generally playing music, but I hear the video playback uses alot more power and that battery runs out faster in that case. This would probably not apply in my case, as I took this under consideration when monitoring the issue.
    Just would like to know whether this is just a display or software bug and I don't have to worry about the actual battery life running out...OR if I really do have a battery issue, I should run this back right away....
    Your advisement is greatly appreciated.

    So I decided to fully charge the iPod, then run the stop watch and continously play music while timing the battery life. It's been six hours so far, and the battery indicator shows a spec of red, but totally empty. It's still going though. I'll let you know of the progress. It sounds to me though that this is a combination of a battery indicator light innacuracy, and having to charge and run the battery completely down a few times to get the battery working at good capacity. I haven't ran the battery all the way down yet, so this test would be the first time. I'll try and run this test with the stop watch on, a couple of times too and see if the battery life improves. I'm at 6 hours so far, and have not played any video, so according to Apple, I'm supposed to get up to 14 hours of continuous music, so we'll see how far it goes.
    At least I'm not the only one, so I'm thinking this is just the nature of the beast as opposed to a defective product. But try out the test I'm doing, and see what comes up. What does your battery life truly go to......

  • 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.

  • What happened to the battery indicator on my ipad's lock screen?

    I've noticed recently that the large green (or red, if low) battery indicator that used to appear on the lock screen when my iPad 2 was plugged in has disappeared.  I have searched in vain for a setting for this, could someone point me in the right direction?  It could have happened when I updated to iOS 5.0.1, but I am not quite sure the time matches up, and it seems like a silly change to make.  Also, my iPhone has the battery indicator, and it's also on 5.0.1.

    The issue may also be caused by the power source that you are using:
    iPad: Charging the battery
    If you don't see the white charging or plug icons, try connecting to the 10W power adapter.
    iPad: Charging the battery
    To charge your iPad battery, try one of the following:
    Connect iPad to a power outlet using the included cable and the 10W USB power adapter.
    Connect to a high-power USB 2.0 port using the included cable.

  • My iPhone 5 continues to shut off and on frequently. And the battery indicator is wrong.

    My iPhone 5 continues to shut off and on frequently. And the battery indicator is wrong. I've already tried to restore it and back it up. But still no solution.

    To rule out a software issue, try to set it up as new device without using the latest backup:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If this does not work, your problem might be hardware related and the phone needs to be checked. Given the age and use of the phone, you might have just get the battery replaced.

  • Time from 100% battery indicator downward?

    I charge my ipad 3 overnight to give it a full 7-8 hour charge, using the wall charger and cable that the device came with.  I then try to gauge how much time from when the battery indicator drops to 99%, then 98%, etc., calculating the intervals.
    I do this as a means of extrapolating for all 100 percentage units how much battery time in total the unit would last until the battery is completely exhausted, and I've been coming up with roughly 8.5 hours for watching videos on the ipad (not streamed) at between 90-100% brightness setting, and about 10 hours for surfing the web using cellular or wifi service.  The cellular seems to drain a bit faster.
    Has anyone one else also tested their battery - I'm curious to compare units.

    Well, that is crazy!

  • Adaptor won't power my PB: the battery is running out!

    I was wondering if anyone found a solution to the problem below that I found in this forum. I am having the same problem and don't know what to do. Just wish that this wasn't an internal problem.
    ========================================================
    I've got a 1.33Ghz PowerBook G4 15" and I am having problems with the AC adaptor.
    When I plug the adaptor in, the light on the adaptor turns orange but won't charge the battery or power the computer - it will only run from the battery. If I wiggle the connector where it plugs into the computer then the light goes green but still won't power the computer.
    The connector where it plugs into the computer feels quite loose, do you think replacing it would work, or is it an internal problem?

    When you say connector are you referring to the port that you plug the adaptor into ON the computer? THAT is loose? Or are you talking about the plug part?
    Did you ever get your problem resolved?
    All of a sudden I'm having an issue when I plug the adaptor into the port it glows for a brief second and then it stops, so it's not powering or charging my powerbook. I can't use it because there is only 4% battery life left. I don't know if it''s the adaptor or the PB itself...nothing is loose. But I'm a little annoyed because this computer has only been lightly used as a backup, so it's practically brand new and a little premature for things to just stop working...
    I can't remember what OS and I can't check right now. It's over a year old.

  • My hp V5060h video cam did not power on even the battery if fullcharge​.......wha​t is the problem?

    my hp V5060h video cam did not power on even the battery if fullcharge.......what is the problem?

    Didn't you already post something similar: 
    Yesterday, I went and bought a refurbished 3rd-generation iPod touch, with a warranty for needed repairs in the future. When I went home after buying it, I plugged it into my computer to start charging. I plugged it in, and the battery in the iPod exploded, and now it won't power on period, even when it is plugged in or docked. I bought a warranty to go with the iPod because I figured that I was probably going to drop it, and then need it repaired. But Apple cannot even find the purchase record on file from where I bought the AppleCare warranty on it, so now I am stuck with what is now basically a paperweight. What should I do?
    iPod touch, iOS 4
    And would this be the same iPod with the fried battery?

  • Service the battery indicator.

    I have a MacBook Pro 15-inch, early 2011, 2 GHz Intel Core i7, when I take the power cable out my battery symbol turns red and suggests I service the battery, what should I do as I it has a non removeable battery?

    I apologize if this is off topic.  I just obtained a late 2011 15 in mbp. It would only work if it was plugged in.  I replaced the battery and the same. The battery was not charging. However the MagSafe was green. After some research I disconnected the battery indicator cable and it started charging as normal. Of course the sleep function did not work. My next step was to order a new battery indicator cable.  Hopefully this will fix it. Anyone have similar experience?
