Could the battery be dead after one year?

Without any warning my one year old Ipad 2 won't power up. Shouldn't the battery have stopped holding a full charge before that happened? I have not dropped the iPad or had any accident with it. So I'm very surprised that it has stopped working.

You know anything is possible right? And not all iPads are capable of living for 2 - 9 years.
Have you tried charging it while starting it?
Have you tried contacting the "Apple"?
Have you tried going to any nearby Apple Store and check if your iPad needs battery replacement?
If all of these suggestions does not work, well it's bad news for you buddy.

TS4062 should the battery be replaced after 1 year im using a iphone 4S my battery charging line is RED!

my battery is showing red

Is this to be expected?
If I take this to an Apple Authorized center will it get replaced or do I need to buy a battery?
It is certainly not to be expected. However, if you are past your 1-year warranty, it will be difficult to get the battery replaced at no cost to you. It won't hurt to try, though.
Why does this happen? I mostly keep the MB plugged in as I use it with a current Cinema Display. Does charging it all the time this way diminish the battery?
As long as you are calibrating your battery regularly, this should not happen, even if you are plugged in most of the time. More info:

Security Deposit Refund after one year

I have paid every phone bill for the past 11 months and I am wondering when I am eligible to have my security deposit returned. I have had no luck with other inquiries I have made regarding this deposit in the past.

Hi Brandon,
I appreciate your inquiry about the security deposit. In order to be eligible to receive a security deposit refund in full, the account must meet several criteria:
• 350 days of active service (the 350 days begins from the point of activation, not from the time the security deposit is applied to the account).
• No suspensions due to non-payment.
• 12 consecutive months of timely, uninterrupted service.
• No payments returned from bank
Account balance current (no more than 30 days past due).
• No related account delinquent or written off requiring payment.
If the account remains active after one year of service, the security deposit will be automatically refunded within 1 - 2 billing cycles.

Z61t Battery is dead after 1 1/2 year

Hi guys, is any of you have problem with Z61t battery being dead after 1.5 year? At 1 year mark, my extended battery only lasted 1 hr of use instead of 3 hrs when I first bought it. Now it totally dead, so when I unplug the AC adapter, it shut off. This already happened to my friend with the same model. I didn't pay attention when he told me until now. I couldn't believe this is happening b/c two of my previous laptops(different brands) were working fine. I sure won't buy another lenovo product again in the future. This is so disappointing.....

Welcome to the wonderful world of these sub par batteries now.
I have a T61 that is slightly more that a year old, and the battery is rated as Fair (can only hold 78% of it's original charge) - with only 3 cycles.
Very dissapointing considering my T41's battery is more that 3 years old and is rated as good and can hold 105% of it's original charge - go figure.
However, what seems to be key here is what power supply you use. If you use the wrong one, your battery life will be compromised.
Go to eBay and buy another genuine battery, but make sure the cycle count is low and make sure you are using the correct power supply.

Which will be the price of Photoshop CC / Lightroom 5 special offer after one year ?

Hello,
I've subscribed to the special offer on Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 at 12.29 €. I read in the contract that the price is going to change at the renewal of my contract in one year according to the price of this bundle at this moment. Does it means that I could pay twice what I pay now, as I read in some forums ? I've taken this offer because it's a price I can afford, but I wouldn't be able to afford to pay twice this price monthly.
Thank you

The pricing for the Photography Bundle is not an introductory price, meaning it will not covert to a regular price after one year. That said the price of the Photography Bundle may flucuate, but you will be notifiied if the price for the second year is changed.

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.

Ive lost my iPod and the battery is dead, is there a way I could find it?

You're back to old school. Think of the last place you had it and go from there.

It's a subscription, not a rate purchase. You never own anything. You have to pay to keep using the product.

My iPhone 5 keeps turning off saying the battery is dead but then when it's connected to the charger it's says the battery could be anywhere between 40-60%. Any solutions

This is often due to fautly battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

IPad 1 Safari crashes frequently. I went to many Apple stores in different countries and each Apple staff member had their own different opinions with no help. I had upgraded my iOS to 5.1.1 and the Safari crashing started about one year

IPad 1 Safari crashes frequently. I went to many Apple stores in different countries and each Apple staff member had their own different opinions with no help. I had upgraded my iOS to 5.1.1 and the Safari crashing started about one year after the upgrade and some Apple staff blame this- but this started one year later after the iOS upgrade. Recently at the Apple Store in Vancouver an Apple staff reset my computer (erased everything and sent to iCloud to reset the iPad) and I hoped this would fix the problem. IPad Safari still crashes. Short of booking an appointment for taking it for repair to Apple technicians which will cost me money can anyone help me to fix this Safari crashing.

Hi,
You might have a 3rd party plugin that isn't compatible with Safari 4.0.4. Go here for help...
Safari add-ons can cause performance issues or other situations
If you are using a USB hub, try disconnecting and restarting with just your keyboard and mouse connected.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.

Also, you could download and install the 10.5.8 combo update (PowerPC) available here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
It contains fixes that might help. Then repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

TS1559 I did all 5 steps and they didn't work. I went into apple and they said it was probably unfixable and i would just have to pay to have it replaced. ridiculous, i'm paying for your broken product after ONE YEAR of use??

I did all 5 steps and they didn't work so I went into apple and they basically told me they could send it away but it was probably unfixable and i'd have to pay for to replace it (180 dollars). I've only had th iphone 4s for two weeks over a year, am I seriously expected to pay for their broken product after one year of use??

Yes, that was the terms of the warranty that you accepted when you purchased the phone. You had the option to purchase an extended warranty that would have covered it for 2 years, but you chose not to.

After one year Imac is all of a sudden running real slow?.

After one year my Desktop imac has started to run slow. I have done the usual top ten solutions but no change.
Is there a way to scan an Apple for any type of virus that may have slipped under the radar?

Since you've already tried a number of items without success please give these suggestions a try. Hopefully you can narrow down the issue.
First check the status of your hard driveby launching the Disk Utility application that is located in the Applications/Utilities folder. Click on the Verify Disk option and observe whether it reports any major errors. You can also boot from the Install DVD that came with your system by holding down the 'c' key and then pulling down the Utilities menu bar item to select Disk Utility. Either way will work. If the disk checks out OK then click on theRepair Permissions option.
To get a more detailed picture of the SMART status (hard drive error logging) you can use an application like SMART Utility which can be downloaded here. Obviously downloading a new application could be a problem if you're system is 'hanging' whenever you try to write something, so this may not be an option.
http://www.volitans-software.com/smart_utility.php
If you find any significant errors, make sure you back up your data if you haven't already done so. If there aren't any significant errors then go into the System Preferences and click on Users & Groups. Try creating a new user account and then log into it to see if you have the same issues. Creating a new user for test purposes will help confirm whether you are dealing with some sort of software issue.
If a new user account resolves the issue then log back into the slow user account and open the Activity Monitor application located in the Applications/Utiliteis folders, then click on the CPU button. In the lower left corner you should see a summary listing the % User, % System, % Idle. What are these percentages? If the CPU idle percentage is near zero then you have a process running that is consuming your CPU time. To try and find it, pull down the menu to select 'All Processes', then click on the %CPU column to sort by the percent that each process is consuming your CPU. The numbers constantly change, but do your best to see if there are one or two processes consuming the majority of the CPU time and post the names. Then do the same test in the new user account. I suspect you may have some process from a previously installed utility, virus checker, etc. that is keeping your system busy. I've included a screenshot from my system below. It doesn't have much going on, and as you can see in the lower left corner the CPU is basically idle most of the time. If I were to launch a CPU intensive app the numbers would change dramatically.
Please share your findings so we can provide additional suggestions as we get more information from you.

Tecra A3 battery stops charging after one or two seconds

Hello
I've been using the computer without the battery for a long time. Now, when I try to use the battery it is completely discharged (it says 0% º capacity).
It starts charging when plugged but after one or two seconds it stops so it keeps 0% capacity.
Any ideas of what can the problem be?
Thank you

Hi
Are you 100% sure that the battery stops charging?
How did you check it? What is the status of battery LED?
If you plug the battery the notebook must be off.
Furthermore the charging procedure takes several hours if the battery is empty.
I think you have to connect the AC to the notebook and wait several time.
But if the battery will not charge so either the battery is dead or the notebook electronic malfunctions.

T61 battery is dead, just one night!

I just bought a T61 for one day, I just charge the battery for a whole night. The second day, the battery is dead. I can not charge it and use it any more. I just want to know what I should do,I got one year warranty.where I can get the warranty and which email is customer's service email.
Many thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

because issues like yours first need to be diagnosed, phone is the only way to go. email might be more convenient but it saves support staff from having to bounce 10 emails back and forth just to diagnose something that might only take 5 minutes on the phone.
it's usually a quick and painless process. the new battery can even be expedited so you'll have it on friday.

After one year, my Droid Razr Maxx is shutting off on its own.

After one year without problems, my Droid Razr Maxx has begun to shut off and occasionally restart on its own several times a day. Sometimes when it shuts off, it can take as long as fifteen minutes before it will start again.
I have tried deleting all of the applications I've installed since recently before the problem began, but the problem persists. Is this a known issue? Have there been any recent updates that might be causing this behavior? Does anyone have any additional things I can try before sending my phone to Verizon?
Thank you.

I also have this problem which occurs under two sets of conditions. First, if the device is left on charge for a couple of hours after getting to 100% it shuts down and cannot be re-started with the power button. The second is that if I take the device out of my belt holder and leave it alone for a couple of hours, it shuts down the same way,
How to re-start the phone
For both conditions, the device can be re-started by simultaneously holding the power button and the lower end of the volume button. This produces what is called a "soft boot."
It has worked every time so far since the problem cropped up earlier this year. I got the device in March 2013.
Addressing the cause
Verizon in its forums advises users to clean the cache with a complicated series of steps that drop the user into a normally hidden portion of the operating system. See URL below.
https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/801488
I am using Easy Cache (URL below) to clean out trash files that accumulate on the device, Unlike prior versions of Android, in 4.1.2, here is no easily accessible menu option to do this. So far over a period of several months I have not had any issues with Easy Cache other than its constant promotion of additional Apps in which I have no interest.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bazinga.cacheclean&hl=en
Note that trash files accumulate quickly and that a clean out at least every other day can remove several hundred megabytes of temporary files.
Theories about the cause of the problem.
The first is that in the case of leaving device on charge for too long produces a false signal to the operating system of an extremely low battery condition and the device shuts down.
The second is that in the case of leaving the device on a desk for several hours,with no detectable motion, sets off a routine in the operating system to protect the battery draining completely. This issue is a head-scratcher since there is really no difference between doing that and leaving the phone on your nightstand for 6-8 hours while you sleep.
Feedback to Verizon and Motorola.
This problem needs to be fixed. A review of various Android forums on the Internet shows a lot of traffic about it some of it going back more than a year. See this shortened version of the Google search string http://bit.ly/13Q6pkp
This is not something you can stick you heads in the sand about as disgruntled customers are reporting in this problem forums, and with increasing frequency, they are returning the phones or seeking alternatives.
