Hello, today my battery seemingly died... Help?
hello, today my battery seemingly died and the macbook would not work unless it was connected to my adapter. I did some reading and decided to buy a replacement. However, when I got home later to buy a new battery, my mac would not turn on. Then later on, I decided to check on my mac and sure enough, it miraculously turned on. Now it says that the battery is fine and I can disconnect it and use it like I used to. Should I still buy a new battery, or was it just messing with me?

My battery's died, help?
Few days ago, battery just started to refuse to charge. The adapter was just continually on green light. Big fat X in the battery symbol, and now no light whatsoever anymore on the battery itself.
I've done all the resets, and still no luck. MacBook turns off straight away when I take off the adapter (battery still connected).
Guessing the battery's just called it a day. Would it just be a case of bringing my MacBook to the nearest Apple Store and them giving me a new battery free of charge (still under warranty)?This may help

Hello,
Yesterday, I put a dvd in my mac book pro while running on battery. suddenly, the mac shut down! Since then my battery seems died because as soon as i unplugged the computer, it shut down directly even if the battery shows a 9 percent filled.
My computer is from the US, I came back for one week to europe and did use an adapter(us-europe) but not a voltage transformer. I have checked the mac transformer and it can support voltage from 100 to 250v, so I don,t think this could be the reason.
I am under apple care.
Is this really a battery problem?
Would my battery be changed?
Can I still use my computer with the plug until I get the new battery?
Where can I check the battery life on my computer?
Many thanks!
Aude-LineYou can get the battery data from the Power tab in System Profiler. You can use the computer without the battery but the CPU will run at 50%. Have you calibrated your battery recently? The instructions are in your manual.

My phone 5 died and now it wont turn back on or seem to charge at all. I've tried several different charger cords and outlets. And all the phone will do is show the empty battery symbol. please help! Any suggestions are apprecaited!?! thanks
Hello Cooper,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone 5. I would be concerned too if my iPhone was not powering on. I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this. I recommend following the steps below:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

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.

I bought a new iMac today. I'm using migration assistant to move all my software, but the time just keeps getting longer. It says connect an Ethernet cable for faster data transfer. I did, but that doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?
m1doc,
Are you migrating from a Mac or a MS Window machine? Either way you probably should be in touch with AppleCare, you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support. They can usually help on issues like this. If you don't know the phone number please use http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 to help find the number in your country. -
Even when I charge my Mac Pro to the full bar, the battery seems to be drained even when I am not using it. Example, after charging it full, i switched it on the next day and its 79% battery left. Is there something wrong? help please
Assuming you are disconnecting from line power, when you say switched on, do you mean it was shutdown or in sleep mode? If sleep mode the battery will still drain because sleep still keeps some things active and the battery does drain a little. However, to go from 100% to 79% charge overnight is a bit excessive in sleep mode. Unless you have some processes set to activate over night by the cron file and do things like backup the system.
What are the statistics on the battery, the apple in the upper left corner, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power...things like battery Condition, Capacity, remaining charge, voltage, current. -
I attempted to update OS X 10.8.5 today and it seems to be stuck. It won't even let me restart. I have a MacBook Pro. Can someone help?
Hold down the Power button for 5-10 seconds until the computer shuts down. Restart. Report what state the computer is in at that time.

Help i have an old ipod touch today the wifi seems to be not working... I've been typing the correct password for my network but it doesnt work!
If you are sure that your password is correct try restarting your router by removing power to it for 30 seconds and restarting. On your iPod go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings. Now try to connect.

Hello
Recently, I asked about the possibility to swap from windows to mac with Adobe Design Standard CS5.5. In response, I was directed to the help page and i know that it is possible. But today I see that the help page is out of date.
How cann I now swap platforms for Adobe Design Standard CS5.5? Do I realy need to buy CS6? Or afer dowloading the mac version of CS5.5 I get the key. And if I realy need upgreade the CS5.5 cann I use the Mac version of CS6 for the dowloaded mac version of CS5.5? Is it possible?Thanks !
I didn't know that I cann buy CS6 Mac upgrade in Adobe Store.
So I have only to buy the CS6 Mac versions and upgrade CS5.5 Win to CS6 Mac?
How does look the procedure?
Do I need to install first the CS5.5 Mac on my Macbook and then upgrade it or is it not necessary?
Thanks

So it seems my iPhone 5 battery is dying. I bought the phone in 2012 December so I was wondering is it still under warranty as I believe there should be 2 years warranty for consumer electronics in Europe but I might be wrong.
bom619, I know the importance of enjoying the most battery life of your iPhone 5.. When you check the Battery Usage (Settings > General > Usage> Battery Usage) and Data usage (Settings > Cellular) which applications/function are shown with the most usage. Have there been any recent applications or updates in software to the phone when this issue began? Please share details so we can look into this for you.

so i went yesterday to the apple store and they told me my battery was dying because i had apps crashing so i had to reset the phone. how do i do this?
Your post doesn't really make sense, because if all you had to do was reset the iPhone, they would have helped you do that at the Apple Store.
Are you sure "reset" is the correct verb - that "reset" is exactly what they told you to do?
Anyway, you reset the iPhone by holding the home and on/off buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears. -
Just recently my Iphone 5 battery is dying in a just a few hours, it used to last all day or more. I'm not doing anything different with it, although I have started shutting down apps etc. to conserve battery. I get constant "message send failures and frequently dropped phone calls.
My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

I just bought a 5s and the battery keeps dying. I have noticed several people have had this same problem for awhile but I haven't really seen a fix.
I am loosing about 1% every 2 min as well. not very tech savy but I did turn off the LTE. I did originally let phone die all the way then charge all the way.
Have only had for 3 days should I start with taking it back and replacing? or does everyone think this is a software fix we are all gonna have to wait for ?
ThanksYou can try this link for some help http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/19/ios-7-battery-life-fix/. I do not see my iPhone 5s behaving in this manner, so there has to be some settings that you are using that are giving you problems. Did you restore this phone from an older iPhone backup? If so, you might want to restore the device as new and start over and sync over individual parts to see what might be bad.
