Do I need to contact apple to get a new battery?

Recently, I found the battery lasts much shorter than before (from 3 hours to about a bit more than 1 hour). The battery condition says "Check Battery".

This is the information I got after I calibrated the battery. Do I need to contact Apple to replace the battery?

Hi JasonLiu,
I'm wondering if you bought the Apple Care when bought the MB, or just called to Apple to say the problem, because I have my 15 months old MB P (so, out of warranty), I don't have any Apple Care and my battery went form 99% to 14% in 3 months!!
I'm dessesperated and afraid (and scared!)
thanks a lot!

  • I have bought an iphone from a friend and want to unlock it from vodaphone do I need to contact apple or just vodaphone?

    I have bought an iPhone 3GS from a friend and it is locked in to Vodaphone, I need to unlock it as I live in Spain and my friend is in the UK. Do I need to contact Apple with the IMEI number to have the phone registered to me or do I just contact Vodaphone? I need to do this asap so please help?

    Only Vodaphone can authorize the unlocking of this phone. Apple can't/won't help you.
    However, Vodaphone, like most carriers, will only authorize unlocking for customers, obviously not you. You need to get your friend to request that Vodaphone authorize the unlocking of this phone.

  • Is there any other method so that I can contact Apple to get IMEI number ? since the phone was shyncronized several times in apple store / iCloud.

    Hello community members, my iPhone has been stolen and I tried to contact police, they are asking for IMEI number of the phone. Unfortunately I could not read the IMEI number on the box due to moisture wiped out most of the number on it. I sacanned it in and enhanced, I'm still unable to read out the number. Is there any other method so that I can contact Apple to get IMEI number ? since the phone was shyncronized several times in apple store / iCloud.

    If you backed up your iPhone in iTunes on your computer -
    Open iTunes - Edit - Preferences - Devices - See Device Backups in the Window.
    Hover mouse/curser on any backup. Read IMEI and Serial no. your of iPhone.

  • Do I need to contact Apple to have them "clean" my Mac every 3 months?

    I contacted Apple for help on an iPhone and was told they couldn't help me because my Mac had not been "cleaned".  Do I need to contact Apple to have my Mac cleaned every 3 months like the rep. told me? I have never heard of this.  They were supposed to call my husband back the next day to take care of the "problem" however, it's been a week now and no one has called.  Now my computer is running slow, whereas I wasn't having problems with it before I allowed the rep. start a session through iYogi. 

    You have been scammed. No such cleaning is needed, and no real Apple rep would tell you that. iYogi is a Windows tool.

    You don't. If it's available through iTunes you can purchase and download it. If you have the CD you can extract it from the CD directly into iTunes.

    Can i go to an Apple store to get a new battery put into my iphone 3gs? or do i have to ship it somewhere?

    Is she going to want to keep the same number? If not, you can go into somewhere like Carphone warehouse and ask for a new EE sim card sometimes costs £5 but they normally do a deal like top up £10 and get something free. i'm sure EE shop would supply these also, the only trouble you may have is the time that it would take to port the same number over

    Yes you can still purchase replacement batteries your iPod from third party repair companies.  Apple does not offer replacement parts.
    Do a Google search for iPod battery replacement and you should get a plethora of results.  There are many good deals on Amazon and eBay.

  • I have my IPhone 4 2years and 3 months. The battery isnt lasting the day. Should I get a new battery?

    My battery is lasting 5 hours max. Should I get a new battery? I have it 2years and 3 months.

    Depending on the charging cycles of your battery, could be time for an exchange:
    Charge Cycles
    A properly maintained iPhone battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 500 full charge and discharge cycles. You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs.

    Service arranged through Apple costs $79. A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if this service requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.

  • Is there a way to reset the battery to make it last longer without getting a new battery?

    I have an ipod touch 4th generation 8GB and the battery was ruined by accidentaly overcharging it a few times. I was wondering if there was a way to fix the battery so it returns to the charge it is supposed to hold. I currently have without getting a new battery, or replacing it. Please respond.

    Don't know of any way to "restore" a lithium ion battery like you could do when rejuvinating a nicad type battery.  If the lithium ion battery has reached a stage where it will not service the needs of your device, you need to replace it.
    Usually the lithium ion batteries don't suffer much from overcharging because the proper charger will limit the charging current to a trickle.  Lithium ion batteries are more apt to suffer by letting it discharge to an almost zero state, and letting it stay that way for a period of time.

  • HT1338 my mac pro has 4 years already and the battery lasts for 10 minutes top. why should i do? get a new battery or what?

    please help me what should i do

    Assuming you mean a Macbook Pro laptop and not the Mac Pro tower, then batteries wear out.  4 years is a long time for a battery to be in constant use.  In general I've ended up replacing my laptop batteries about once ever 2 years, and at that time I'm often down to 30 to 45 minutes of battery life.
    So if you are not ready to get a new Mac, by all means get a new battery.
