Erratic battery behaviour on Macbook air since latest update

My Macbook Air 11.1 is from 2011, and the battery started going bad last year. I ordered and placed a new battery in january. This worked perfectly, no problems whatsoever. This morning, I installed the latest available Apple update (unsure which one, can't find it). After that, my battery has been behaving strangely. This is what happened:
- I unplugged my laptop at one point, and moved it from my bed to desk. I went to my kitchen, returned, and the laptop had turned off.
- I put the charger in and turned it back on. I realised the battery info said the battery isn't charging and 'replace now'. Surprised, since I just got the battery this january.
- All of a sudden, the icon changed to white (it's black when not charging) and it was charging again.
- This kept happening, on and off.
- Unplugging the charger results in shutting of immediately or within a few seconds. At this moment, it's charging (at 97%). But it can change any minute.
- I tried moving my laptop around a bit, tilting it up and down, but that doesn't seem to do anything (neither good or bad).
I looked on the internet for a few solutions:
- Resetting PRAM: no differene
- Resetting SMC: no difference
- Reinstalling Yosemite completely (do you recommend this? In any specific order?)
Does anyone know what is best to try? I can also open up my laptop again and check the battery, but I doubt that's the problem. Btw, third party apps like battery diag/battery health/coconut battery all make no mention of the battery needing to be replaced.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm emigrating to Serbia next week, so I hope to fix it before then
I included an Etrecheck report:

Hi Dominic,

  • Exploded battery on a Macbook Air (Macboom Air)

    The battery on my Macbook Air suddenly became very hot and the whole aluminium unibody burst swollen. There is no warranty left but how does Apple handle such occasions?
    It was shortly after a flight where the Macbook Air was in the cargo section of the airplane. It could have resulted a serious threat to the flight.
    Here's a picture of the swollen Macbook Air:

    Tony

    That's a clear cut mistreatment of the Air.  
    The Air never should have gone in the freezing cargo hold with also lack of pressurization!
    The battery got extremely cold in the cargo section, and low pressure causing cell interior rupture.  No the flight was not under any serious threat.
    Don't dare use it in its current state,... contact Apple for replacing the lithium battery.

  • Is it possible to replace the battery of a MacBook Air?

    hello, I just want to know if I can replace the battery of my MacBook Air?

    If an older Air out of warranty, yes, however, only Apple sells genuine Apple batteries.   Aftermarket batteries have many issues I wont list.
    It depends on your skills, ifixit.com has many videos on doing things yourself.    While I consider changing a battery incredibly easy, its a "hard" skill for some.
    So your question is subjective to be certain.
    IS is replaceable? yes, its a consumable and meant to be replaced.  

  • How to get battery information for macbook air 13"

    Hi,
    I am using macbook air 13" released by the end of last year.
    For personal reason, I have to buy a new battery for my mba through the internet.
    So, how can I check the battery information (such as release day and last day of warranty) using its serial number?
    It is not easy to find such service in apple.com in case of macbook air battery.
    Thanks for your reply.
    Jonghun Park.

    That page supports for (as it mentioned below)
    iPhone, iPad, Mice and Trackpad, iSight, Portable Computers, AirPort, iPod, Displays, Xserve, Desktop Computers, Keyboards, Apple TV
    NOT FOR THE BATTERY EMBEDDED IN MACBOOK AIR!! :<
    (And the length of serial number of battery is longer than above HW products)
    Thanks for your answer, by the way.

  • Can i replace the battery in my MacBook Air?

    can i replace the battery in my MacBook Air?

    See the Battery Replacement section of Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
    although, if you're out of warranty, and can tackle some dismantling :
    MacBook Air Repair - iFixit has instructions for most models, but finding a reliable source for quality replacements may be a problem.

  • Should I calibrate the battery in my MacBook Air?

    Should I calibrate the battery in my MacBook Air?  The battery indicator reads (95%) although the battery is fully charged.

    You don't have to but it's highly recommended for optimizing the performance, please read Apple's Battery Calibration article.

  • Can you replace the battery in a macbook air 1.1?

  • S apple coming out with a new version for Macbook Pro MD101HN/A ? what should i go for Macbook Pro or Macbook air since my usage are basic mainy internet , word , excel , powerpoint etc.

    Is apple coming out with a new version for Macbook Pro MD101HN/A ? what should i go for Macbook Pro or Macbook air since my usage are basic mainy internet , word , excel , powerpoint etc.

    souvikfromKolkata,
    you’ll know as soon as the rest of us do if Apple decide to produce a new non-Retina model. My guess would be that they won’t do so, but that’s only a guess.
    With Internet, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint representing your main usage, either a MacBook Pro or a MacBook Air would be suitable for you.

  • Have lost Hotmail since latest update

    Since latest update cannot open Hotmail ,screen is blank apart from send ,reply icons etc along top of screen.
    mail is coming in number of mails goes up on mail icon but can't access .

    There are several possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps until it's resolved.
    1. Follow the instructions in this support article.
    2. Reset the System Management Controller.
    3. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
    4. A swollen battery in a MacBook Pro or Air can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced.
    5. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built in trackpad of a MacBook to  behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
    6. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
    7. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
    8. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

  • HT6058 my ipad screen will not rotate since latest update

    my ipad scrren will not rotate since latest update, i have done everything i can think of including wha tapple told me

    What have you tried, and what did Apple tell you ?
    Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If there isn't a lock symbol then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Syncing with iPad mini does no longer work since latest update of iTunes

    Syncing with iPad mini does no longer work since latest update of iTunes and iPad mini

    Hi grecokev,
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    You mention that your iPod nano is no longer recognized by iTunes after an update. Reinstalling iTunes is a good troubleshooting step, and if the device still doesn't appear in iTunes, try the following steps next:
    Turn off your computer and your iOS device or iPod, then turn them on again.
    Check to make sure that you've installed all required updates for your computer.
    Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
    USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might work only to charge those products and might not transmit data. Also, if you're using a third-party case or extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
    You can find these steps in this troubleshooting article:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    If the steps above don't solve it, see the section of the article called "Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed" for some additional steps to try on your PC.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Since latest update to airport extreme im getting 10 unknown base station and time capsule items showing in airport utility as a network.  when able to "forget" them they initially drop off but soon return. how do i get them deleted and stay that way

    since latest update to airport extreme im getting 10 unknown base stations and time caps showing up as though they are a part of my network. sometimes i can "forget" them and they will disappear initially but soon return. i need and want only my connection inside my home . any ideas. i have done a factory reset and set up a new network but they continue to show up.

    I'm not convinced that the problem lies in Airport Utility. This same thing was happening to me, nearly exactly as you describe it. The thing is that with me, the problems clearly started when I updated the firmware in my Airport Express (n). That's when all the wacky stuff started happening. Sometimes it would show up in AU, sometimes it didn't and even if it didn't, I could still access the internet through it.
    But as you said, the problems got really bad when another Express (b/g) was put on the network with it. Even when it did work, the (b/g) would make it impossibly slow.
    You know more about this than me, and clearly have more patience if you've restarted the network fifty times. I gave up at about ten.
    In any case, your solution is more of a work around and if you're still having that slow connection problem, I'm not sure you've got it. But thanks for your reporting of this. At least I know I'm not crazy.

  • My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on.

    My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on. I have the little arrow that normally selects my AppleTV in iTunes but AppleTV is no longer listed (only My Computer). Is there an issue with the latest update. This is probably my fault by telling everyone how good AppleTV is and that it just works! Doesn't work any more :-( I have tried all the usual restarting of AppleTV and PCs. I'm having to revert back to the Samsung Blu-ray player's PC sharing :-(

    Restarted router(s) and it works again.

  • Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java

    Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java - what the heck is with that? When I try to do as suggested and go under Java preferences it wont allow me make any changes this is the error message I get "Cannot launch "java preference" no compatible version of Java 1.5 + is available."
    Then it gives the option to open java preferences or quit. It will only allow me to quit as it won't open java preferences. Stupid updates!
