Having serious issues with battery health, how could it be?
hello,
newbie to this forum but not to apple devices.
my big brother gave me his MacBook Air about 2 months ago. he bought it in august of 2009. when i got it, it ran Windows 7 (dont ask me why that what he wanted). i did update to the system and installed snow leopard etc...
after install the iStat pro i noticed that the battery is in good condition, 93%. i thought he ruined the battery cause he always plugs his laptops/netbooks to a power source.
i dont understand why but in the first month i had 90%-92% health, and in the past few weeks it went down to 88%-90% and a few days ago it was 86%. today i went to school and when i opened my mac the battery health os on 84%!
i really dont understand why.
i follow the instructions and wait until the battery is empty, recharge to 100% and again waiting... etc... there is no overuse and when im home i usually work on my stationary computer.
the computer overall is in great shape, i dont understand the problem maybe one of you guys can help a brother out...
thanks in advance!!!
hello,
newbie also to this forum, does anyone can confirm that when the battery gets older, the maximum load percentage will decrease so that 100% capacity will never be reached anymore?
Tks.

Having serious issues with Photoshop CS4. It quits frequently while I'm working?
Photoshop CS4 keeps quitting or crashes as often as every 10 or 15 minutes. This has happened before but rarely, mostly when I'm working on a large file but it's been happening more often than ever lately. Please help.

Am I the only one having significant issues with battery life on the iphone5?
I purchased an iPhone5 at the end of June 2013. Ever since I downloaded iOS7 I have been having battery issues. This past Friday the issues got worse. On Monday night (1/6/14) my phone unexpectedly shut off 22 times according to an Apple rep. My phone was replaced yesterday and I'm still having significant issues. My battery drops somewhere between 2 and 5% if I simply unlock the phone. I went over every possible setting with an Apple rep tonight to make sure my settings are making my phone as efficient as possible. All apple reps are telling me is that I can replace the phone yet again or I can do ANOTHER factory reset. I refuse to deal with this company because it's been 3 days and 14 hours. Has anyone experienced this with their iPhone5 because if I have to call another apple rep I'm gonna flip out.
So now 12 days later and another replacement I'm still having issues and apple still isn't helping. My phone has started shutting off unexpectedly again today. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go from here?

This is driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!!
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! -
I am having serious issues with my iPhone 4s, phone constantly locks up
It locks into speaker phone mode all of the time and people can't here me on the other line. The only way to fix is to restart the phone. Happens with Blue tooth and headphones. No idea what is going on. Also having issues with browsing the web. Locks on Espn.com all of the time. Any thoughts?
weird, i would try to restore through iTunes and set up as new as a test.

The battery only last 6hrs complete with basic normal usage . I tried all the suggestions and nothing was helping. I finally tried switching off the 3G to EDGE and what a major difference in battery life . My phones last more than a day . I got so far 8 hrs usages And 25 hours standby . But that's phones were created to handle lte and 3 g why is it killing the battery life ?? How can I resolve this issue ?
Thanks for the replies. It took a while not hearing anything so thought I was alone. I have done many of the suggestions already. The key here is that it occurs on both phones with apps, and phones still packaged in a box.
A Genius Bar supervisor also checked his Verizon data usage log and found the same 6 hour incremental use. Suprisingly, he did not express much intrigue over that. Maybe he did, but did not show it.
I think the 6 hour incremental usage is the main issue here. I spoke with Verizon (again) and they confirmed that all they do is log exactly when the phone connected to the tower and used data. The time it records is when the usage started. I also found out that the time recorded is GMT.
What is using data, unsolicited, every 6 hours?
Why does it change?
Why does it only happen on the iPhone 5 series and not the 4?
Since no one from Apple seems to be chiming in on this, and I have not received the promised calls from Apple tech support that the Genius Bar staff said I was suppose to receive, it is starting to feel like something is being swept under the rug.
I woke up the other day with another thought ... What application would use such large amounts of data? Well ... music, video, sound and pictures of course. Well ... what would someone set automatically that is of any use to them? hmmm ... video, pictures, sound. Is the iPhone 5 succeptible to snooping? Can an app be buried in the IOS that automatically turns on video and sound recording, and send it somewhere ... every 6 hours? Chilling. I noted that the smallest data usage is during the night when nothing is going on, then it peaks during the day. The Genius Bar tech and I looked at each other when I drew this sine wave graph on the log print outs during an appointment ... -
Is anyone else having serious issues with Dynamically linked clip render times in CC 2014.2
Short clips stalling and taking forever to render. Longer ones taking several hours???
I've noticed arbitrary little fixes, such as re-opening the after effects window, then going back into the premiere window causes the render to instantly speed back up in some cases.
A restart of the program I believe solves the issue too. As does simply rendering the clip out in after effects.
The problem is that I have long, overnight renders set up that need to run automatically. In this case, 9 clips, all about 30 minutes long. And pretty much all one long dynamically linked comp (I created a picture in picture effect in after effects compiling 2 30-minute video feeds, and then added some color correction). When I left at night, the total time kept creeping up and up to about 2.5 hours for one video. Even THAT sounds like a lot to me, but I let it go. I return to the computer 13 hours later, to see only 3 videos completed, and the one CURRENTLY in the queue saying over 6 hours remaining. I cancel the render.
I feel like there is some breakdown of communication between afx and premeiere happening here.
Anyone have any experience with issues like this?
Running PP CC2014.2 on a tricked out 2011 Macbook pro 17" OSX YosemiteI'm on windows 7, and similar dynamic issues were a result of having two versions of the same app on the machine, and not associating the files to use the latest version, etc, or a version mismatch.
Another workaround is to close PPro and import the project into AME, rendering it from there. -
Help! I'm having serious issues with my OS 6 Update for my Curve 9330
First off Facebook is now the default calendar. Really! I sync with Outlook for a reason. It says to go into options and select another option for your calendar but there is no other option listed, just Facebook!
Secondly, my e-mail settings have been deleted. When I go into set up to reconfigure them it won't allow me to login with my user name, just says the user name must be more then 4 characters long. My user name is 23 characters long since it's an e-mail address! It is so long that it wraps down onto a second line in the box provided! Something is seriously messed up here!
So now that I've installed OS 6 I have no connectivity to my e-mail or calendar which is half the reason I have a Blackberry! I'm ready to throw it out the window! Any help would be so appreciated!I'm sad to report that I have the same issues between three to four times a day. Before I got my iPhone 4S (first iPhone I've owned, btw) I used to have a Sony Ericsson C902 that I operated along with a bluetooth headset HBH-DS205 that used to work perfectly together. Now, with the headset and the iPhone 4S I keep noticing that the connection breaks and all I can do to restore it is to turn the headset off and on every time. I listen to music all day long on the headset and this issue can get to irritating levels. Also sometimes I feel stupid as at work I'm one of the few 4S owners and, the iPhone being a state of the art device, my coworkers get to see me scrambling to figure out whether I need to bring the phone up to my ear or just one of the earpieces to my ear. The headset also has a answer/hang-up button that as of late, for the same reason, I cannot know for sure will start or end a call. I would hate to be forced to drop the headset as I really love it too.

3 Days using Maveriks and still cant find any files using our number system.
I have tried searching using key words and job numbers but nothing is found or works !!
Its a big problem
Steve.Hi haha fresh tees,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you're searching in Finder or Spotlight and don't get the results you expect, try reindexing your hard drive using these steps:
Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2409
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Click Spotlight.
Click the Privacy tab.
Drag a folder or an entire volume (your hard drive) to the list.
If prompted for confirmation, click OK.
Remove the item or volume you just added to the list by clicking it and then clicking the minus ("-") button.
Close Spotlight preferences.
Spotlight will re-index the contents of the folder or volume.
Cheers,

Serious Issues with FCPX. Advice?
I am having serious issues with Final Cut Pro X. I can only edit for about 10 or 15 minutes before all clips in my Timeline and my Event Browser start appearing as either green or black w/ unexplained artifacts in the viewer.
Once this starts happening in Final Cut, my entire system is affected. Images in Aperture, iPhoto, Quicklook, etc begin to appear as just jumbled artifacts. Even my desktop goes wonky. I took a picture of my desktop with my phone just to provide an example.
Quitting Final Cut has no affect on resolving the issue. However, completely shutting down my system and restarting does correct the problem. I would think it is a graphics card issue, except for the fact that it only starts happening when I’m using Final Cut. I can watch HD movies, play graphics intensive games, edit in Photoshop, encode video in MPEG Streamclip and so forth and there are no issues until I start using Final Cut again. Also I have run the Apple provided diagnostic tools and TechTool Pro, both of which report no problems with my video card.
I have tried using optimize and proxy media in Final Cut, but that does not improve the situation.
I am currently at a complete loss. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Sound advice. However, I have already taken my iMac to the Apple Store. While there, the issue did not occur and they said that it passed their hardware tests. They said they could replace the logic board and gpu, but since they were not able to diagnose the problem they couldn't say for sure that would fix anything. Since I am no longer under AppleCare, I wanted to look for other solutions before trying an expensive and uncertain fix.

Serious Issues with New Itunes Release
I'm having serious issues with my Itunes. If I right click on any of the songs and go to reveal in Windows Explorer (so i can find the darn things) it removes pretty much every option from the right click menu, refuses to play music and if i shut down ITunes and try to restart it it refuses to open again. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling the software and i get the same issue. any ideas? its driving me insane and i wish i had never upgraded to the new version because the last version was working just fine.
Also I see that Itunes remains in my task manager in the processes section even after I close it down. any ideas would be woooonderful because i can't live without my music...

I am having some serious issues with firefox to the point of choosing another search engine. I can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and won't let me change it to my printer when i do try to select my printer it jumps right back to fax. The drop down menus do not work on any of the sites I go to. For example when purchasing clothes and you have to choose a size from a drop down menu I can't do it when I click on the drop down menu it doesn't work at all. I don't have a virus I ran my virus protector and no viruses are present. I don't have any suspicious issues going on with my computer so there has to be something in Firefox that is causing my issues. I tried internet explorer and I don't have any issues there. I hope you can help me because I love Firefox and would really like to continue to use it.
Lots of issues there, main one getting fcpx going again, try deleting the preferences using the utility deveoped by these guys.

Try deleting your render files and re-rendering the project.
Start with these and let us know how you go.

I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!
I have created a navigation system on the master pages and set the presentation to links only mode. I also have other links scattered throughout the program, like a linkable table of contents, etc. Some of them work, some of them don't. Not sure why. Anyone out there having similar issues? Or have any idea on how I can solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!Links should not create any problems in Keynote. If they are set up correctly on text, the text will be underlined. Objects that have links will have a curved arrow bottom right, if you click the arrow a popup will display the link information.
Try this repair for Keynote, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1
delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
2
empty the trash: Finder > Empty Trash
3
Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.
4
Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
5
when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click repair disc permissions
6
when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart
7
install Keynote from the Mac App Store
let us know if this helped -
I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).
I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option? -
