Doesn't find my battery anymore

Hi, my sweet little white macbook 2ghz doesn't find my battery anymore. The battery icon has X on it. I have to start my macbook with my powercord.
When I press the battery button bottom of my macbook it shows that I have my battery fully charged.
Any help?
-thx-

im getting sick of this same problem. two weeks ago the battery stopped charing, so the Techs told me to remove the battery and hold down the power button for five secs. it worked... for a day...
the next morning (after doing a battery calibration) the computer turned on, but the battery icon came up with an X. the battery no longer charges, and i basically have a desktop now, cause i cannot use the battery at all.
this ***** because i was travelling for work all last week.
called Apple last night (4th time in two weeks, waited for 1 hour each time). we did some tests. nothing worked.
i had to argue with the Tech to get a new battery sent to me. she was saying i need to send it to an authorized tech person, which is impossible for me as im 500 miles from the nearest one and cant afford the down time. after all, i bought this thing to WORK on.
im getting sick of this. and now my screen has started to flicker.
will Apple take care of me? will they just send me a new machine if this one continues to get worse?

Airport configuration utility doesn't find Airport Express anymore

Hi,
This morning I updated my Airport configuration utitlity to version 6.3. When I opened the new version I noticed it couldn't find my Airport Express anymore. There was an error about the AE not being in my network anymore and whether I would the utility let it forget or not... However, I was still connected to the internet. So, no big problem for now, but I would like to be able to configure my Airport Express when needed, and that's not possible know.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem? I tried to reset (soft, hard and back to factory defaults) the AE, but no result. Only way to reconfigure my AE is through the wireless networks overview on my iPhone. The configuration utility on my iPhone works neither.
The old version of the utility (5.6) does recognize the AE by the way. Seems more like a software problem to me then?
The configuration utility on my iPhone works neither.

his worked for me and Airport Utility sees all my devices now.I indeed did it through the Terminal. But behold: in another thread I found the solution to this problem. I found this:

Re: Airport Utility v 6.3 Fails to See Airport Extreme or Express
Jun 13, 2013 10:03 AM (in response to williamfromames)
Looks like 6.3 is using IPv6 to talk to Time Capsules/Airports. I know I had turned off IPv6 long ago since I didn't need it. Also looks like Apple has removed 'Off' as a valid choice for that setting.
To turn IPv6 back on:
Open System Preferences->Network
Click Advanced
Change Configure IPv6 from 'Off' to 'Link-local only'
Click Ok
Click Apply
AU 6.3 should now be able to communicate with your device.
This worked for me and Airport Utility 6.3 sees all devices in my network. You should try this too. Good luck!

My PowerBook G3 Wallstreet doesn't recognize its battery anymore?

Hello, I already had an answer a few days ago, about odd behaviours of my old PowerBook G3 266 Wallstreet running OS 9.2.2.
While searching for a retail original OS 9.x, in order to be able to reinstall the system correctly, I tried to solve another problem I didn't mention before:
My M4685 battery, which had always worked well, only slowly decreasing its efficiency through the years, suddenly seemed having 'decided' it finally got tired working, 3 months ago. It went on retaining less and less charge, and completely died within a few days.
Since then, the computer regularly worked only if connected to the power, with no indication of the presence of the battery I still left in its slot, just as it wasn't there.
That sounded odd to me, but I believed it could be the normal behaviour.
Now I found out a used M4685 spare battery, inserted it in the slot, got it to a full charge in 2h time, and then disconnected the power to check its efficiency. It showed it allowed a 2.5-3h of work, but after 20 minutes working (the battery still showing full charge in the battery check control), the computer suddenly turned off by itself.
It didn't restart until I connected it to the power again, and restarted only with the reset way (shift-fn-ctrl + power button), loading the system after the Disk First Aid check and repair, as it had been turned off incorrectly. Date and time were completely wrong, and had to be adjusted.
Tried again to disconnect the power, and began to work with the battery again.
After approx. the same time as before, the computer turned off by itself again.
I had to restart it the same way as the first time, and didn't disconnect the power anymore!
What is the problem with it? Is there a serious hardware problem, not only a software resetting need? Is my PowerBook G3 likely to become in good wealth again, and doing what? Or have I to consider it not much reliable anymore?
Thanks to all the people will clarify me this matter.
Filiberto.

Hello,
I am in the USA, trying to sort out a PB G3 Wallstreet problem for my son in Kenya (Africa). He is a Peace Corps volunteer, and has been given the use of this old laptop for his work in the village of Oyugis.
I have sent him a PCM-CIA to USB converter, so that he can use a small thumb drive to store things and transfer long email messages and other data to computers in the local post office.
The USB converter came with a software CD, but when he tries to install it, it pops up with a "Type 3" error message.
I found your name and postings on the Apple discussions board, and since you have the same computer as my sons, and your postings were recent, I wondered if you could help me out.
I have posted my question to the general discussion board as well.
Thank you!
You may directly email me at [email protected]

[SOLVED] "man" doesn't find the manpages anymore... what has happend?

I suppose the probleme first appeared after the latest upgrade of "man-pages".
When I'm regular user man returns "No manual entry for XXX" in most cases. Being root, all manpages are displayed as usual.
Here's what I tried so far:
I've checked some manpages from "/usr/man" directroy. On all manpages, no matter if the work for the regualr user, read-permission is enabled for everyone!
Checking the $MANPATH variable returns the same for root and users, namely: "/usr/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/opt/java/jre/man:/opt/kde/man:/opt/qt/man"
I have no idea what else I could try to get them working properly again.

I just downloaded more then 2000 photo's from my camera into iPhoto. Shortly after that my battery life was depleted and so I plugged the computer back into power and after I opened iPhoto later, I could not find those photos anymore

I just downloaded more then 2000 photo's from my NIKON camera into iPhoto. Shortly after that my battery life was depleted and so I plugged the computer back into power and after I opened iPhoto later, I could not find those photos anymore!! Help where are they? How can I retrieve them or are they lost???
Please help me!!!

Do you see more photos, when you enable "Hidden Photos" in the "View" menu?
And that was afetr I took the connection with the NIKON out of my laptop.
Check, if you really imported into your iPhoto library - is the preference setting "Advanced > Importing: Copy items to the iPhoto Library" active? If not, connect your Nikon again - do you now see more photos?
If you imported into the iPhoto Library, check inside the package:
Select your iPhoto library in the Finder, ctrl-click it, use the command "Show Package Contents".
There will be a folder named "Masters" inside, with subfolders named by year - month - day. Look for the date you did the import and check, if the photos are inside.
If yes, copy this folder to a folder on your desktop to save the photos.
If not, search for a folder "Importing" inside the library. Is it there? Then copy these photos to a folder on the Desktop.
If you found your photos, backup and rebuild your library.

RAW/JPG - Aperture doesn't find the JPG files anymore

Hello,
I have all my photos on an external hard drive (referenced). Yesterday I had to format this hard drive, so I copied all photos on the hard disk of my iMac, then formatted the external hard drive and then copied all the photos back there. The hard disk still has the same name, but Aperture didn't find my photos anymore. So I selected all photos in Aperture and choose the option to reconnect the images (sorry, don't know exactely how this option is called in English, because I'm using the german version). After some time my photos were all reconnected. But some of the photos, which are RAW/JPG (RAW Master), do find the RAW now, but I can't switch to the JPG. But this did not happen to all RAW/JPG...
So I tried to move some of these photos from my external hard drive to the Aperture library (again I don't know how this is called in English). Aperture moved the RAW files into the library, but not the JPG and I also got an error "null".
So my question is, how can I reconnect the JPGs? Hope you guys understand my problem
And before someone ask, sadly I didn't thought of moving all photos into the library instead of just copying them myself so I can format the external hard drive.

Which camera are the Raw files from?

Finder doesn't find anymore

In the past, I've used Finder to find large files, say, anything over 10mb, so I can delete unnecessary ones and clean up my disk. I'll set the criteria as "Size" "is greater than" "10" "mb". However, in the last month or so, it no longer works. When I do a search, it doesn't find anything. The status at the bottom says "Searching This Mac" and stays that way forever. In the past, it started listing files immediately. Anybody have any idea what could be wrong?
I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8. Latest software updates always applied. Thanks.
Rob

I figured it out myself. Awhile back, I noticed that the Mac would seem to hang, and I couldn't do anything. Activity Monitor showed me the cause of the problem was a program called mdworker. I did some research on the web, and found out that mdworker is part of a program called Spotlight. I never used Spotlight, never even heard of it, and didn't see any use for it, since we have Finder. So I followed the steps to disable it.
I re-enabled Spotlight, and that fixed the Finder problem. So apparently Finder relies on Spotlight for the Find function. It doesn't need it for the normal file managing purposes.
I guess I'll just have to put up with Spotlight/mdworker hanging my system occasionally.

My Macbook doesn't find my AirPort wireless network anymore

I have a strange problem with my Macbook and/or AirPort Express. This combination has worked fine until now, but yesterday the Macbook suddenly couldn't find the network anymore. This happened while I was surfing. I haven't installed any programs recently or changed any settings.
When I click on the AirPort-icon it lists all my neighbours networks, but not mine. I have no problems connecting to other networks, I have successfully tried this both at work and some of my neighbours networks.
My old Dell Windows PC however have no problems finding and connecting to my network! I'm using it right now. So it's just the combination Macbook and AirPort Express that's problematic.
Things I have tried unsuccessfully:
- Restarting the Macbook, my cable modem and the AirPort Express (numerous times and in different orders)
- "Join Other Network" and entered the name of the network and password manually. This only results in an "Connection timeout"-error message.
- Deleted the network name from "Preferred Networks". This made the Macbook actually list my network for a few seconds every time I restart or turn AirPort off and on again. It disappears again very quickly and I can't connect to it.
- Changing security, I have tried open, WEP and WPA.
- Factory reset of the AirPort Express and creating a new wireless network with a new name. I had to do this on the Windows PC because the Macbook didn't find it. I was even able to connect to this network with the Macbook for a little while. It wasn't listed in the network list, but I could connect via Join Other Network. Unfortunately it only lasted until the Macbook went to sleep. Since then I haven't been able to connect to the network and I can only see it for a few seconds every time I restart. The Dell Windows PC has no problems with this network.
I have no idea what the problem is or whether the problem is the Macbook or the AirPort Express since they both work fine separately.
Any ideas for things I haven't tried?

I'm having the same problems recently. Bought my white MacBook in Jan. '09, worked great for several months; now it won't stay on the Internet for more than five minutes at a time unless I'm right next to the router. The Airport icon, when selected, shows my network but for some reason it has been deselected. My husband's Dell has no problem at all, even if he's out on the back porch, so it's not a signal issue.
I've updated the software to the latest Airport but that seems to have made it worse. I've tried nearly all the things Solvi did to no avail. Has there been an answer yet from Apple on this?
(Had to re-select network to sent this short post!!)

Satellite L855D doesn't find my CD/DVD drive

Hello!
I don't know what has happened to my computer but it doesn't find CD/DVD drive anymore.
I guess I may have deleted some necessary drive but not on purpose anyway.
Is there any way to recover it?
I have tried RmvFltrs which I found from some Toshiba's tech support site via Google search but it didn't help.
It stated that it worked but my computer tells me the installation couldn't be done.
I'm not in a desperate need of the drive to work, I'm just wondering whether it is possible to make it work somehow. So if someone could help me with this I'd be more than glad.
Sincerely,
Joonas

I mean that it isn't shown in "My Computer" anymore or if I try to install something from a CD it doesn't work since the drive doesn't work.
I can find it from device manager yes but it gives me this "code 52" and says the digital signature cannot be verified. There's this yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it too. Does this help at all?

HT1238 my computer doesn't recognize my shuffle anymore.

My Mac doesn't recognize my shuffle anymore. when I insert it to be recharge the battery, it does not show up in the devices menu.

What generation iPod Shuffle do you have? Are you sure the connections are secured on each end? See here for more information.
iPod shuffle (4th generation): Not seen in iTunes
So if I understand you correctly, the Shuffle used to work with this particular Mac. Do you know what could have or did change since the last time it was able to successfully connect?

MacBook Pro 2011 doesn't charge the battery at all. Only works with the powercord. Reset SMC already. Ideas?

The battery doesn't charge at all anymore.
My Macbook pro suddenly stopped working without the cord plugged in.
And when the laptop is switched off, it switches on by its own as soon as I plug it in.
I reset the SMC, to no avail.
Any tips?
Thanks.

If it has a replaceable battery, then consider replacing it.
Open System Profiler in Utilities folder. After it opens click on the Power entry in the sidebar. See what it reports for your battery. If it's no longer usable it will generally say "Service."
If you don't have a user-replaceable battery, then take it to an Apple Store.

Indesign CC doesn't find and highlight links when trying to relink!!

I was so excited to see all the customizable options in my new InDesign CC, until I tried to relink a file from the links palette and CC doesn't find and highlight the file anymore like it used to do with 4 and 5!!
As a prepress operator dealing with hundreds of clients and manipulating files all day long, this feature was a great blessing.
Hope it's just a glitch and somebody is fixing it or I'll have to go back to 5

I have been using InDesign 2, 3, 4, 5 and 5.5 with all OSX up to 10.6.8 and always had that feature. Some say the problem is Lion, some say is InDesign 6 and up. I'm back to 5.5 anyway because CC is way too slow with my old Mac G5.

Re: Satellite M35X-S149 - Cannot find correct battery to this model

I can not find the correct battery to this model.
I have looked on Toshiba websites, but I haven't find yet.
That model doesn't recognize by toshiba tool finder.
If somebody has some idea where I can find suitable battery I will be grateful.
Battery model No is: PA3395U-1BRS

Hi
You have already posted the battery model number.
Where is the problem? Google for this battery and Im sure you will get some online dealers who could provide this battery.
Otherwise get in contact with an Toshiba ASP in your country and order the compatible battery.

I had this problem for quiet sometime now, and I would really appreciate your help. THANKS

I did try restoring the ipad a couple of times and it didn't do the trick. I also tried updating the firmware.
The only thing that worked for a while when the ipad - on it's own - rebooted itself into a black screen with white text and automatically fixed the issue. It worked perfectly for a couple of months but it came back after I forgot to charge the ipad , does anyone know how I can force the ipad into that screen again ?
