Completely drained battery and other weird issues

Hello,
I have a MBP 13" early 2011 (8GB ram, 250GB SSD).
I have not used it for a couple of months (4-8 or so) but I recently decided to re-install it with the latest osx.
Since I'm not that used to OSX and MBPs I decided to let an AASP do this, which they did. When I went to get
it they said that it was VERY slow and that it didn't run on battery alone (i.e. the power cord had to be in all the time).
OK, that's weird I thought, it worked fine when I last used it.
I got it home and booted it up, and it was very slow. I got information of an update, that should take 8-9 minutes to install, but it took approx. an hour.
The battery info says it should be replaced now and that it's not charging. And it's empty. 0 mAh
The battery cycle count is just 33.
I've tried resetting the SMC, but... I don't know if that worked, or even if I did reset it. No feed-back...
I've tried running the Apple Hardware Test, but this "When the Apple Hardware Test chooser screen appears, select the language for your location" never happens.
So, I have a couple of questions:
- could the "slowness" have something to do with the empty battery?
- how come it suddenly stopped working, while not being used?
- anyone have any idea what's going on or what might have happened?
And of course:
What are my options?
Thanks in advance,
Markus

I did try the online recovery but that didn't work, that's why I had an AASP fix it. So ATM it does run Mountain Lion which is what I wanted. It is just the other issues that are annoying.
Although I agree that both batteries and hard drives may fail on occasion, it's weird that they both should fail while being turned off. And I'm fairly certain that I did turn it off, prior to putting it in the bag and going home. Not 100% certain, but I usually turn laptops off while moving to and from the office/home.
I'll see if I can dig up the hd that was included with the MBP and test with that.
I could sell it of course, but I thought I'd fix it so my girl friend could use it. And of course, for me to get more used to it
Thanks for the reply!

  • Completely Drained Battery Charging

    Hi all, I recently purchased a used 20 gb, 4G Ipod on ebay, it had a replacement battery installed, but the seller said it needed to be charged before use.
    I tried everything to get it to charge with a USB 2.0 connection (the same cable and computer that charges my Ipod mini 2nd gen just fine) but no luck. I tried a DC car charger as well to no avail. The Ipod shows no icons at all and the PC doesn't recognize it, I tried resetting it as well but no good.
    I talked with the seller and he told me neither the USB nor the DC charger had enough power to charge a completely drained battery. He suggested an AC Wall charger instead, which unfortunatly I don't have.
    My question then, would an AC wall charger likely work better at charging a completely drained battery? I'm probably going to try and get one to try at least, if not just buy one, but I'd like some idea of the chances that he's right about needing it to charge the Ipod.
    Thanks for any assistance

    iPod touch not responding and has white screen. Tried to restore, drain battery and re-charge etc but still nothing. What can I do?

    Try what you have not tried so far. You may have tried all and the Apple store maybe in order.
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Stuck pinwheel/beachball and other coinciding issues

    I've recently run into a major problem on my 2006 Macbook Pro.  Soon upon booting to the desktop in Snow Leopard, the mouse icon changes to the spinning pinwheel/beachball as if waiting on a process to complete.  I can open programs from the task panel, such as Office or the calendar, but the pointer icon remains stuck as a pinwheel.  I am unable to open any drop-down menus from the top such as Finder, and can't get Force Quit to open.  Additionally, the Snow Leopard partition of the computer seems to be unable to establish an internet connection.  There is a list of the usual networks detected, however trying to connect under each one yields a "little or no connectivity" alert.  Oddly though the other partition on my computer (Windows 7) has no issues with connecting, as I typed this question out using the same computer under Windows.  Finally, I cannot get the computer to shut down in Snow Leopard, neither by going to Finder nor by tapping the power button, and I have to hold down the power button to do so.

    If you want to replace your battery you can get one fairly cheap on eBay http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=aluminum+macbook++battery+A1280&_sacat=0&_od kw=aluminum+macbook++battery+A1278&_sop=12&_osacat=0
    Or for $129 from Apple http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB771LL/A/rechargeable-battery-13-inch-macbook -aluminum
    MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008)
    Removing the battery:
    Shut down the computer. Disconnect any cords connected to the computer.
    Turn the computer over.
    Locate the access door latch.
    Push down to release the latch, this sets it in the open position, and remove the access door that covers the battery.    
    With the latch still in its open position, gently pull up on the battery tab to remove the battery.
    Note: The latch must be in its released, open position to remove or replace the battery and access door.
    Installing the battery:
    To replace the battery, make sure the latch is in its open position.
    Hold the battery at an angle and slide the lipped edge of the battery below the brackets on the outside edge of the battery bay. Gently press the battery down.
    To replace the access door:
    Line the access door up with the bottom case and the tabs in the battery bay.
    Lower the access door into place.
    Make sure it is level with the bottom case of your MacBook.
    Press the latch into place, so it is in the closed position.

  • HT201412 Drained battery and unesponsive Iphone 5c HELP!!!

    So I have an Iphone 5c which I got back in March of 2014. It has been lying dead for about a month without charger so the battery is completely drained. I have tried every method on the internet and nothing is working. I have held the home and power button for a minute and nothing happens (I did this so many times I can't even count them). I have charged it for hours using every WORKING charger I  own with still no luck. It won't connect to itunes on any of my computers and I won't respond to anything. So I can't restore it to it's factory settings because it wont connect to itunes. Also there is no Apple store in my town so I'm pretty stuck. Any suggestions?? (I really need some help here that is my ONLY phone)

    Plug it in and leave it plugged in for several hours and see if it comes up.
    If not, you will need to bring it to a store or see if you can mail it in for service - http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/

  • IPad restart from completely drained battery

    My wife's iPad battery was completely drained and I cannot get it to restart. Help please

    Have you left it plugged in for a while? if the battery is totally depleated it can take an hour or more to see any signs of life.
    I'd suggest that you plug it in over night and then give it a try. If it's still unresponsive then either there's something wrong with the iPad or there's something wrong with the charger or cord. If you have spares, you can swap those out just to be sure. But if it won't come back then you may need to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out. It's possible that your battery has totally died and will need to be replaced.

  • I have an apple ipod. it has a drained battery and i have been unable to switch it back on. i have plugged it in to charge but its more dead than a dodo. can anyone help?

    Help!
    My kids IPOD touch has a drained battery. Usually I charge it and all is rosey. Not this time its showing no signs of life at all. Does anyone have any ideas please? Many thanks

    Try a different charger. If that doesn't work, hold down the home and power buttons down at the same time for 10 seconds while the iPod is on the charger and see if it shows any signs of life. If none of the above work, you should set up a Genius Bar appointment at your locla Apple store. If you don't have a local Apple Store, you should call Apple customer support to get a replacement iPod.

  • MacBook Pro - Battery and Trackpad Heat Issue

    Hi,
    I purchased my MBPro 15-inch in December of 08 (so unibody type). For the last few months, after a couple of hours, the trackpad becomes unusable. You can't "click" and navigating around the screen clicks and unclicks and is general extremely sensitive.
    When I remove the battery, it works fine (but you have to keep the power supply connected or it dies instantly). As of this week, when I replace the battery, it goes straight back to the problem. Previously, I would get 15-30 minutes of "normal" usage and then the problem would reassert itself.
    Should I just get a new battery? Is this the kind of issue that Apple had previously on non-unibody MBPros and required a mass recall and replace of batteries?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    This is likely the same issue which resulted in a recall of swollen batteries (Battery Update). Have you carefully checked your battery for any signs of swelling or leaking? If you do have a swollen battery, stop using it immediately and get a replacement. You don't want to risk permanent damage to your Mac.
    The battery doesn't even have to be in use. Some time ago, someone posted a picture of a spare battery that had never been in a machine, but which had still swelled up and come apart.
    There seems to be some question as to whether this is to be expected of all these batteries, or if it is an indication of a factory defect. For this reason, people have had mixed results trying to get the battery replaced for free from Apple. Generally, if you've been able to get 300 cycles out of your battery, your battery is just considered worn out and your chances of a free replacement are remote. If this happens on a newer battery with fewer cycles, I believe decisions are made on a case by case basis.
    I actually hope that swelling is a characteristic of a defective battery and not something expected to happen to all of them. Especially since the new Unibody Macs now have a built-in battery that is not supposed to be user replaceable.
    Good luck!

  • Why did my index.htm file generate blank? and other weirdness.

    Here's the story. Maybe someone can tell me where I made my mistake, or what happened. I'm numbering the steps for convenience in discussing this.
    1) I started a new project, a WebHelp project.
    2) I imported content in Word.
    3) I created an index, glossary, and TOC. I used wizards for some of this.
    4) I created a style sheet and applied it to all the topics.
    5) I added a skin from the gallery.
    6) I generated output.
    Then I sent that output to the UI developer on my project. He plugged it in to the web app, and it seemed to work fine. So then:
    7) I opened the project, edited the text, and removed glossary links (because I didn't like how they were working) individually.
    8) I generated a new TOC to match the changed topic structure (minor changes).
    9) I generated another output.
    I sent that output to the UI developer and he said it was blank. I opened index.htm and sure enough, it was indeed blank. In fact, it was Zero KB. I also noticed that four other files were blank: whfform.htm, whform.js, whskin_plist.htm, and whtbar.js.
    So then I decided to start over. I created a new project, imported just the html topic files from the old project, redid the index (in a  hasty and less thorough manner), decided to bail on the glossary for now, did a TOC and sent that to the developer.
    Now the Search pane is totally wonky, showing a list of characters and terms.
    So I am getting frustrated. The developer has tried monkeying around with stuff on his end, but it's not working. So he says, why don't you send me a build with everything?
    The problem is, I have two broken builds. The first one, which for whatever reason has the blank index.htm file (and other blank files), and the second one, which has no glossary, a messy index, and a screwed up search.
    I can't seem to find anyone else having this problem. :-/  Can someone help? 
    Thanks so much,
    Tamarleigh

    I am having the exact same problem, and I think I've figured out what is happening here. There is an issue when mapping Word styles into RH. The person who setup our Word template included a sidehead with conditional text to hide instructor notes when printing participant training manuals. I removed the conditional text, and everything is working fine. You may want to double check to make sure you don't have conditional text in your Word docs. I've uploaded an image with the code below to show how the conditional text looked when the document was linked and generated.
    Check out the code below:
    <table cellspacing="0">
              <tr>
                        <td style="vertical-align: top; padding-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px;
                                   padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;" height="800" width="114"><table

                                                      <p class="WD_InstructorNotesHeading"><span style="background: #ffff00;">Instructor

  • PSE 11 editor has stopped importing from scanner, no longer permits drag and drop, will not permit cropping, and other bizarre issues

    Windows 8.1, PSE 11
    I am having a number of issues including loss of import functionality from scanner, I can't drag and drop photos into the editor any more as well, or at least not after the first one. The crop function stops working after the first couple of photos.  Then some freezing.  A little added crashing.  A plethora of other bizarre issues as well.  This just stated happening a couple of days ago. 
    What I have tried:
    Uninstall/Install. 
    Deleted preferences both before opening Editor (crontrol-alt-delete) and after opening it. 
    Kindly advise.  Thanks!

    Final Update: ...god willing...
    OK! Check it, like I said in previous posts I seemed to have narrowed it down to specific mp3s not converting and playing in their native sample rate which if paired with another sample would give you the "audio midi sync" error and basically screw up your clock! It appears mp3 files converting to mp3 using iTunes would not convert to the correct sample rate if set to something other than 44 in logic and cause this. A tad peculiar Apple iTunes won't work with Apple Logic. I was able to confirm this on two mac's via my friend in Florida. He's running Tiger and tried the same experiment and Booya! Mickey Mouse! It appears this insane week long adventure has came to an end (...god willing) with a super specific unlucky shot in the dark on my part finally revealed to be an perfectly normal function of Logic (obviously one i'm not fond of..) As far as the errors / crashes / system overloads / kernal panics I think I can sort those out to the mackie onyx satellite not being a good choice and trying to add and remove firewire devices in the middle of the sample rate mayhem. Wow! all I can say is, I'm glad it's over
    Wish me a lot of luck in the future.. I'm sure i'll need it!

  • N8 poor signal reception and other hardware issues...

    I have always been a Nokia fan . I started with Nokia 6600, then N70, then N82 and now a Nokia N8.
    However, I am facing the worst experience with N8 reception issues.
    The problems faced are as under :
    1) Poor Signal Reception Issues - Signal strength is weak and is constantly fluctuating compared to other Nokia Phones. At my workplace, if Nokia N82 displays 5 bars, N8 would display only 1 or 2 bars.
    2) Phone freezes many times. Whenever an Alarm is enabled, phone freezed much more.
    3) Purple Tint in the display. Nokia Service Centre says that its normal but according to me, they are just ignoring this issue. 
    4) Vibration is weak : I often do not realize when the phone is vibrating in my pocket !! 
    Upcoming Symbian Anna will just improve the user interface but will not be able to solve these hardware issues.
    If Nokia plans a hardware update facility for N8 users wherein they can fix the signal reception issues and increase the RAM to 1 GB atleast, I would retain this phone for few years.  
    But, now, I intend to switch to Samsung Galaxy S II. 
    Your views solicited.

    I am agree with poor signal issue with nokia N8. I have two cell with one is N8 and other one is N26 with nearly 4.5 year old but at same place Nokia N8 showing very poor quality of network signal compared to N26. So for same network provider with two different cell with same manufacture how can drastic different that is also investing nearly RS.22000!
    Please resolve the issue ASAP.

  • Slow finder indexing, and other Mavericks issue

    Since downloading Mavericks i have two issues that have started to become annoying..
    When i open a finder window, or when trying to save something, the indexing takes ages. Was always instant in mountain lion..
    Also now if i right click an image for example that is an attatchment in mail it brings up the "open with" option but when i hover on it i just get "preview, colorsync and other"
    I used to get a list and always had the option of adobe photoshop cs6 ... i now have to click on other everyu time and search through my applications to find cs6. Is there no way of getting it back to a list of options?
    I am on an 21 inch iMac. 2.66 core 2 duo with 8 gb 1067 ddr3 memory... mid 2009 iMac if it makes any odds.

    @shashinka ;  I'm sorry I did not tell it before but I have maxed out memory RAM on my MacBook (I got 8 GB in total) well before Mavericsk and I also find that is not a memory related problem. Do not be sad and considers that having more memory is almost always a good thing in general (and that you can resell it too).
    Another thing i do not mention: I have the same problem on my other Mac ( iMac (21.5-inch Late 2009) ) that had maxed memory too ( 16GB there).
    The point is this "systemstas" hog process.
    Now I read 6 "I have this question too" : someone else want to add an articulated response ?
    I am a little surprised that I did not even have found a single person who does not agree with my post (or even just with my polemical tone). I begin to suspect that here, in the house of the Big Apple, no one is interested in listening to real stories about "customer dissatisfaction", that's simple something that "cant be".
