  • Mid 2014 13" rMBP full charge gives 4:49 minutes of use

    Hello-
    This is my first Macbook purchase. It is 2 weeks old, refurbished from Apple. rMBP 13" 3.0 GHz i7 16gb 128. I received it and it was at 53% with 4 cycles. It adds cycles without even being plugged in to charge. It looses about 1% a minute. I have turned off: location, blue tooth, all peripherals are taken off, no programs added, auto bright off, brightness turned down. After a full charge it said full charge a 100% and only 4:49 minutes remaining. I am not a Macbook expert, so I am asking: is 4:49 on a full charge normal for 2014 Macbook, and is there anything else I should be looking at that I am missing? Thank you for the help.

    No, I did not misread, it died in 4 hours and 20 mins.
    That sounds better. You confused me with:
    ...only 4:49 minutes remaining.
    My science-major mind saw that as 4 minutes 49 seconds.
    Still, you should get more runtime. Here is another Apple article that helps with battery life and heating issues:
    Runaway applications can shorten battery runtime, affect performance, and increase heat and fan activity - Apple Support
    The article was written before OS 10.9 and 10.10, so you need to make a change in Step 3 for 10.10. To make the required change from "My Processes" to All Processes," you now need to use Activity Monitor's "View" menu:
    Another thing that is not clear in the article is that you will not get good results if you run the test immediately after a restart. Use the computer normally for about a day so that any runaway processes are activated, quit any apps you launched, then run the test.

  • Anyone having same problem? I phone 4 after updating to Vers.5.1.1. battery cannot be 100% full charge, always stop at 99% and battery drains off fast too :(

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • HT5012 I have a first generation Iphone 5 and my question is why is my phone heating up so bad to the point where its almost to hot to touch on the back. On top of that the battery is dieing so fast that it usually lasts about 3 hrs on a full charge. Help

    So basically my iPhone 5 has been heating up so bad that it feels like its about to over heat and die. I've never had this happen to any other of my iPhones.  On top of that the battery is dying so fast that on a full charge is lasts about 3 hrs give or take. Ive tried closing all my apps like i usually do anyways, i tuned down the light, I've reset it and booted it back up, reset it and used iCloud backup, ext... Nothing is working. I'm to the point where i  almost want to get a new phone. I even tried calling apple support and they couldn't help me cause from what it sounded like they had no idea what they were doing. If anyone has any comments on how to fix this i would greatly appreciate it . I do love apple products and i have a upgrade and plan on upgrading my phone when the new one comes out but for the time being IDE like to fix the phone i have now that I've only had for a little bit anyways. Thanks  

    You are probably going to have to take a trip to the Apple Store, but you can also make sure that:
    Bluetooth is turned off when not in use
    Location Services are only turned on for those locations that you want a constant update to
    Background App Refresh is turned off
    Automatic Downloads is turned off
    Cellular Roaming is turned off when you don't need it
    Go through your Settings and take a look at all of the settings to determine if you have any turned on that may be using a lot of battery, and which you really don't need.
    Cheers,

  • I haven't used my iPod in a few months.  Gave it full charge, music showing on screen and in iTunes.  But when I push play, it says "Now Playing", but the time isn't moving forward and nothing is playing.  I have already reset it and that didn't help.

    I've had this iPod Classic for a couple of years, and only use it every so often, mostly when I travel.  Just bought a speaker so I can listen in the house.  Gave it a full charge.  The music is showing up on the screen, and it also shows up in iTunes on my computer.  When I try to play something, whether it's a song, artist, album, whatever, the screen shows the name of the song and displays "Now Playing".  The time stays on 0.00, however and doesn't move forward;  and no sound is coming out whether on the new docking speaker or with a headset.  I tried the reset procedure, but still no change.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks!!!

    A 4th gen iPod can not be upgraded to iOS 8. 7.0.2 is the high version it can run.

  • When I went to update my iPod touch on iTunes, it said unable to update then the iPod shutdown and no longer showed connected in iTunes.  I have tried holding down both buttons for up to 3 mins with no luck turning it on, even after a full charge.  Help?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Pls help me my ipod nano wont charge even if i use other laptop or pc . The battery notification tells its full charge but when i remove my ipod its still not charged

    Is it not charging at all? Did you try to reset? If YES to both, request for a replacement of the ipod. Battery or the unit itself is defective. Cheers!

  • My iPhone 4 is only 14 months old over dropped very well looke after, one day the lock button stops then the volume buttons, now the headphone port does not work and the battery lasts about 4 hours after full charge I still have a year left on my contract

    My phone is 2 months out of warranty, it's never been dropped or miss used yet the past week every day something has gone wrong with it. First the lock button stopped then the side volume buttons. Then the head phone port when I putt headphones in the phone turns the volume
    Down automatically and it won't turn up until I take my headphones back out. The battery lasts 4 hours max after a full charge and today I took my phone off the docking charger and all my music has gone! The phone is breaking down more and more everyday what is going on! I know people who have had there iPhones years an non of this happen! I still have a year left on my contract too!

    Who is your carrier and what is your coverage with them? If you are with say Verizon, and have Total Equipment Coverage or Extended Coverage, they will swap it out for you under Manufacturer Warrantee.

  • 5G iPod no audio after full charge

    I have a new 5th gen ipod and having problems with the audio playing after charging the unit.
    I leave the ipod connected to the USB cable overnight, but when I go to use it later in the day, trying to play songs or podcasts, there is no audio! This has happened about every time I've charged it. All menu navigation and selection of things to play works fine, but there is no audio to be heard. Song, podcasts, videos, no audio for any of them. The timer ticks as it plays, the status bar shows it proceeding thru the play, but no audio.
    I don't know yet if it's related to charging but it seems to occur after a charge. I have to soft-reset to get it to work again. Then it works fine until the next time I charge it. This is getting really annoying. I have updated the software on the ipod to the latest available. I have the latest iTunes.
    One day after soft-reseting and then playing audio ok, I went to use it a few hours later (no charge inbetween) and it wouldn't play audio again. This time I also had a terrible time trying to soft-reset it, it wouldn't! I pressed the center select and top menu positions on the thumbwheel and it wouldn't go, try after try! After about 5 minutes of trying it finally did.
    I have an iSkin eVo case on my ipod. I don't know if this would affect it but I also left the single sheet sticky plastic on the face of the ipod that came from Apple. Once the audio starts working, it works fine. No problems selecting, navigating, changing volume, moving the play-head forwards, back, etc.
    Anyone else have this issue? I'm about to take it in for repair/exchange.
    G4 Dual-533 Mac OS X (10.4.5) ipod 5th generation (video)

    Well, I spoke too soon... two days of using the ipod and it worked fine, BUT I realized I didn't leave it charging over night. Third night I had it on all night so a full charge and once again it didn't play audio in the morning. I shows that it's playing, the time for the song/podcast changes, the play symbol is on (not pause) but no audio. I have to reset the ipod and then it works fine. Then later in the day I try to play it and it won't even play! Menu navigation works but I click on the play button and it won't change the play time.
    So I'm back to square one! This ipod has a problem!
    Any ideas? I'm ready to take it in to the Apple store before the warrantee runs out.

    Sounds like you need a new battery.  Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • Apple Universal Dock doesn't work after full charge

    last night, I put my ipod nano into the Apple Universal Dock.
    I worked just find with the apple remote.
    I stopped the music using the remote, then watched TV about 2 hours.
    After that, I saw my ipod was full charged, and the dock station hasn't worked any more.
    Also, the remote doesn't work as well.
    I can use the play button on the ipod, but no sound out anyway.
    There is another archive thread with the similar problem to me, but no answer yet.

    or do I need to send it to the store where I bought?

  • My iPhone 3GS will hold a full charge for only a short time, and gets very hot when not in use in my shirt pocket.  Any ideas?

    My 3GS iPhone will not hold full charge for very long.  It gets very hot in my shirt pocket even when hot in use.  Any ideas?

    Double-tapping the home button does not show apps that are running.  This is not a task manager, it is merely a list of recently used/accessed apps.
    Basic troubleshooting of the device is reset, restart, restore.  Has a reset or restore been tried?
    Check to see if updates exists for the apps, this could be a simple issue of a badly coded or buggy app that needs to be updated.

  • My ipod will only charge on the docking station. says it has a full charge but when I take it off the docking station it says battery is low so I've plugged it into the usb and plugged it into my wall outlet but it is still not charging. Help?

    my ipod will only charge on the docking station. says it has a full charge but when I take it off the docking station it says battery is low so I've plugged it into the usb and plugged it into my wall outlet but it is still not charging. I'm not sure what generation it is, its an 80GB. Help?

    The battery is possibly unable to take as much power as a normal battery. It may need a replacement battery.

  • How would I stop full charge alerts on my iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.1

    Nightly when charging my phone it continuesly alerts me it has reached a full charge until it is unplugged. How can I stop this alert?

    If you are using a third party app such as Battery Doctor, you need to visit the settings of BD to remove it. For BD, you need to click on the four square icon on the upper right, then Settings, Charge notification and flip the switches to off.

  • My iphone 5 turns itself off even with full charge

    My iPhone 5 turns itself off even with a full charge. Any help would be appreciated.

    That's a very strange issue, but at the moment it could be software or hardware - the only way to find out is by restoring the iPhone.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 has all the information you need to backup and restore the iPhone.
    If it's a software issue, it'll be completely fixed by restoring the iPhone!
    If it's hardware, the same thing will still happen even after restoring, and you'll want to get the iPhone serviced.
