Does this battery info look normal to you?

Hi, longtime Mac user who really doesn't understand battery charges and cycles.
This is what my system profiler says right now.
My 15inch MacBook pro has 4GB RAM (Apple) and a 7200 RPM drive 320 GB (also Apple). It is about 3 weeks old.
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 1602
Fully charged: No
Charging: No
Full charge capacity (mAh): 4593
Health Information:
Cycle count: 7
Condition: Good
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): -1462
Voltage (mV): 11153
Is the negative amperage normal?
Normally, it's hooked up to a 24 inch Apple display (the new kind) with the power adapter plugged in, but I do unplug it and use the Macbook Pro on battery a few times a week. Currently, I've been using it for 2:02 and there's 26% charge left, according to my screen, although that percentage number always seems to drop fast, although it could just be my imagination.
Right now, I have the following launched:
Safari
Mail
iChat
Skype
Preview
iTunes
and system profiler.
I checked my activity monitor and there's nothing in the background doing anything out of the ordinary.
I'm using the 9400 graphics - haven't even tried the 9600 yet. And I have the illuminated keyboard on although set to switch off after 10 seconds of inactivity.
Is there anything here that looks weird to you? From what I'm reading I thought my full charge capacity seemed quite low at 4593 - shouldn't it be higher on a computer that's about 3 weeks old?
There might be nothing wrong and I might be paranoid. And I should say that I have NOT calibrated the battery yet and I feel like an idiot for not doing so - I'm currently waiting for my MacBook pro to completely discharge and then I'll do the 5 hours and then plug it back in.
Any thoughts/advice are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Scott

that seems alittle low. try a complete cycle drain to zero and do a full recharge let it get to 100% and then check again.
a 15" uMBP ive been using is about 2 months old or so and its usually always plugged in (the battery technology seems alot more robust and solid with these machines)
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 4854

    Hi,
    When you punchout to this web shop, have you handled the OCI suspend mode in SRM? Otherwise, when returning and generating the resume mode for OCI, it will not know what session to resume, I suggest configuring a catalog normally in the SRM_SERVER using the MDM or CCM catalogs and then reviewing the http flow of the call and return to see how the program flows.

    Hi Poonam26c,
    If you do not have a local copy of a song which you have purchased (i.e. it is available via iTunes in the Cloud), you may need to redownload it before you can transfer it to your device. You may find the following article helpful:

  • What does this SATA info mean?

    The system profiler on my macbook pro describes my SATA chipset like this:
    Intel 7 Series Chipset:
      Vendor:          Intel
      Product:          7 Series Chipset
      Link Speed:          6 Gigabit
      Negotiated Link Speed:          3 Gigabit
      Description:          AHCI Version 1.30 Supported
    What's the diff between the Negotiated Link Speed vs Link Speed?
    Does this affect what type of replacement HD I could get (SSD or hybrid)?
    Is the 6 Gigabit speed what's possible and the 3 Gigabit negotiated speed the actual speed with this configuration?
    I'm using a seagate 750 GB  7200 rpm HD (not the hybrid model).

    Your interpretation is basically correct.  Without knowing exactly which MBP you have, many if not most of the 2012 MBPs have a 6Gbps internal SATA drive bus.   Also guessing, but if you have a top of the line Seagate Momentus 750GB 7200 rpm drive, it's "only" a 3Gbs drive.  So, the link vs. negotiated speeds would be correct.
    Another thing to keep in mind, even the "best" hard drives are barely capable of saturating a SATA I (1.5Gbps) bus, so having a 6Gbps bus is overkill for today's drives.  Maybe it provides some future-proofing, but until hard drive internal i/o speeds improve (buffer-to-platter), just having a SATA 3Gbps or 6Gbps bus isn't going to make a gnat's difference in performance between a SATA I, II or III drive.  Even that Seagate Momentus can only sustain 1.3Gbps (160MBs) under ideal conditions.
    You basically do not have to worry about what kind of SATA drive you replace your current drive with.  They are all backward compatible, so a SATA I or II drive will work perfectly well on a SATA III  (6Gbps) bus.  There's no SATA drive with higher than 6Gbps interface around, at least not commercially available today.

  • Does my Youtube upload look clear to you?

    Okay this is screwed up..
    I'll make it short!
    My PC uses an external monitor, on the PC I chroma key'd my videos shot on a green screen earlier - I played a video to see how it looked.
    RESULTS on PC - The footage looks perfect in windows media player but awful on Youtube/Vimeo.
    Results on laptop - Footage looks perfect in BOTH windows media player and Youtube.
    Youtube is clearly compressing my uploads to look like DIRT on certain monitors. SEE COMPARISON in this image. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img539/623/ffcb2d.png
    Yet I am exporting and playing h.264 20mbp bit rate 720p Progressive on Youtube.
    Would be very interested in knowing how it looks to the comminuty here on your devices/monitors in 720 HD on SMALL screen (Youtube 1080 + bigger screen isn't AS bad).
    SAMPLE (no audio fitness trainer shot). Chroma Key Test - No Audio - YouTube
    Please be brutally honest!! Does it look clear or pixelated?
    Thanks.

    What video program are you using and I will move this message to the correct forum

    If you aren't receiving password reset emails and your security questions don't work, someone has hijacked your account.
    This happened to me.
    You need to use Expresslane to contact iTunes support to regain access to your account ASAP.

  • Does this iphone 6 sound normal?

    Hi guys! My iPhone 6 is about 3 weeks old and it was fine until 2 nights ago my home button started making this weird noise. If I even lightly touch it(not pressing it at all), it makes a click sound. The click sound sometimes goes away though but it comes back. So when I press my home button, there are 2 clicking sounds. One for when I touch it, and one for when I actually press it. Should I be worried about this or should I just get used to it? Thanks!

    Hello PureCoyote32,
    Thanks for the question. If you suspect that your home button has been damaged, you can contact us for information on setting up service. Since it is an iPhone 6, it should definitely be within the warranty period:

    If the Home button still isn't waking the device, or if it's damaged, contact Apple Support to set up service.

  • Importing video - why does this help site look different

    http://www.davidglover.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/01-Import.png
    The link above shows a help site screen shot allowing 1080i import.
    When I run iMovie 09 and connect my camera I only see import at 'Full Resolution' without the added 1920x1080i.
    Whyis this??

    That screen grab is what I see with iMovie '08 and not what I see with iMovie '09

  • Why does this forum page look like this?

    It's only in Safari. It's fine in IE 11.
    It's only the Boot Camp forum page too, no other 

    Thanks that seems to have cured it 
    I wonder what that's about? 

  • If you switch Junk Filter back into Training mode does this reset it?

    If you have been using Mail's Junk Filter and switch it back into Training mode, does this reset it, that is, do you lose all previous training? Or does the data base only get reset via the Reset button?

    It should just go back into training mode from that point without affecting anything.

  • Mac Mini as a "Media Center"...Anyone doing this?

    I am considering purchasing a single core mini to use as a media center. If you are currently doing this, how is it workingout for you?
    How is the video quality on your television while viewing pics from iPhoto?
    How is the streaming of music from iTunes?
    How about video? Is your home network wired or wireless?
    Thanks in advance.

    I decided to take the Mini plunge to create a media center. I'm still assembling pieces, but so far it's great.
    You'll want some kind of a high def monitor for the Mini, or external control via Apple Remote Desktop or VNC, because the Mini's desktop on a standard TV is just way unuseable.
    iPhoto slideshows and MPEG4 videos look wonderful, and that's on my 10+ year old Sony 32" tube TV. I have a new High Def TV coming tomorrow and can't wait to see how great things look.
    iTunes shared music plays just fine through the Mini. And using FrontRow to access the music collection on my main Mac enables me to see the full title and artist on the TV screen.
    I hooked up a FireWire drive to handle video storage this evening, and I'm currently noticing a constant fan noise from the mini; I'll be investigating why that should be...when the I was using the Mini without the FireWire drive, the Mini's fan was completely silent.
    FrontRow is a nice application; my only complaint is that when playing MPEG4 files the fast-forward, fast-reverse features are way too slow.
    FrontRow remembers your place when playing a video file and gives you the option of starting from the top or resuming play the next time you access the file. However, when I moved files to external storage the previous stopping points were lost. Trying to fast forward 2.25 hours into a 3 hour video was way too slow. I ended up copying the move I wanted to watch, opening the copy in QuickTime, finding the point I wanted to watch from, deleting from the beginning to the desired point, and saving the file...THEN playing it with FrontRow.

  • How to make embedded HTML form look normal?

    Hello,
    In Muse, if I Insert HTML code with:
    <form action="action_page.php">
    First name:<br>
    <input type="text" name="firstname" value="Mickey">
    <br>
    Last name:<br>
    <input type="text" name="lastname" value="Mouse">
    <br><br>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    </form>
    …the form is displayed in my Muse page.  However, it doesn't look normal, meaning:
    - The text fields have no border and appear to be invisible until you start typing in them.
    - The Submit button size is minimal, wrapping tightly around the text, and there is no border or bevel.
    * I have experimented with specifying an HTML border and width in the above code, with no change in results.
    Basically, this HTML code looks normal in a regular .html page.  However, in a Muse page (with Insert HTML), the visual appearance of the form elements looks abnormal… stripped-down.
    Can anyone suggest a way to add HTML form content and make it look correct?  I don't want to use the Muse Form Widgets, because they all "require" the email field, and I don't want that capability.  Thanks for any suggestions.

    I answered my own problem.
    It seems that the solution is having knowledge of CSS, which I don't.  That's what Muse is supposed to provide, and I'm not a CSS expert.
    At http://www.ronpershing.com/blog/how-to-make-a-custom-contact-form-in-adobe-muse/ , Ron Pershing gives some very simple code on making it all work with Muse.  I'm not affiliated with him or his website, but since he was kind enough to publish a solution, his work should get some attention.

  • TS4268 My iMessage doesn't work on my iPad. My software is up to date, wifi is working, apple ID is working but the verification stops and goes back to sign on. Why does this happen?

    My iMessage doesn't work on my iPad. My software is up to date, wifi is working, apple ID is working but the verification stops and goes back to sign on. Why does this happen?

    Look at no. 5 in this text which was copied from Apple's support site for troubleshooting Messages and FaceTime activation.
    Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
    After each step, toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. You can complete activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
    If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
    Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
    In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
    Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.

  • How does the verizon wifi work? Do you pay monthly?

    I want to buy the new iPad with retina display as a gift, but how does this verizon wifi work? Do you pay monthly or have to call Verizon?

    You're post is a little confusing. WiFi signals are not done through Verizon unless you are talking about using a Verizon MiFi hotspot such as this http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?&item=phoneFirst&action=view PhoneOverviewByDevice&deviceCategoryId=13&cmp=KNC-58700000028195084&zipRdr=y.
    4G wireless cell signals are done through Verizon. WiFi comes from places such as your home wireless network, or WiFi hotspots at places like Starbucks, restaurants, pubs, etc.
    If you are asking about Verizon's wireless cell service, it's $20 a month for 1 gig of data, $30 a month for 2 gigs of data, or $50 a month for 5 gigs of data.
