Help with opinion on new battery... only 14 months old and its bad

Got an early 08 MacBook Pro 15.4" Coconut Battery says 167 cycles with 48% capacity remaining... Computer is 14 months old and it gets about 1.5-2 hours of battery to a charge..
Should i go for aftermarket or OEM battery replacement? Im going to Kuwait for deployment and need something that will last.. Apples OEM are expensive but i know you get what you pay for sometime but aftermarket batteries can be just as good..
Where is a good site to get one?? THANKS!

aftermarket batteries can be just as good..
You want to be certain that such batteries are not 'old stock' (as I had happen to me once).
Kuwait
High temperature can be a real life shortener for batteries.

  • My macbook pro is probably only 2 months old and there is a buzzing/grinding noise coming from the left side of the laptop every time I open it.  It may buzz 5 times in a span of 30 seconds then not make the noise the remaining time that it is open.

    My macbook pro is probably only 2 months old and there is a buzzing/grinding noise coming from the left side of the laptop every time I open it.  It may buzz 5 times in a span of 30 seconds then not make the noise the remaining time that it is open.  I have read that it may have to do with my fan or HD.  I am under apple care for a good amount of time but am wondering if this is a mjor issue.  I would not be able to get to an apple care center in the near future due to being at school.  Should I be worried or will it last by the time I am home in 2 months.

    Sounds like the disk in your MBP is accessing data on wake up
    If you are still concerned you can take it into the Apple Store where they can hear it to be sure

  • My iPhone 4s is only 4 months old, and it will not charge, I'm a little ticked off.

    My Verizon iPhone 4s is only 4 months old and all of a sudden it's not charging, and the speakers work when they want to. The phone has never been water damaged. The phone has never been dropped on anything hard, always has had a case on it, and I'm seriously upset with this. None of my other apple products have I ever had a problem with.

    It's under warranty. Take it in and let the genius have a look. If it's defective, it will be replaced.
    So long as you didn't do something stupid like jailbreaking it.

  • HT1766 My mini Ipad is only 2 months old and it has frozen. The screen says that the ipad needs to be backed up on icloud but the touch screen has frozen and I can even shut it down. Suggestions

    Try to reboot it. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple, about 20 seconds or so. It should reboot and work for you.

  • . It is only 2 months old and never been dropped or near moisture. I've tried holding down both buttons but it remains. It is there regardless of what  app I'm in.

    .i have an iPad air and it has a thin line across the screen. It is only 2 months old and never been dropped or near moisture. I've tried holding down both buttons but it remains. It is there regardless of what  app I'm in. Do I need to take it back to Apple?

    Yes..take it back to an Apple store.

  • "Replace Battery" only six months old?

    System Profiler says under battery condition says "Replace Now." coconutBattery app also says to replace battery. Battery is six months old, non-Apple but reputable third party, 107 cycles. Could this be a problem other than the battery caused by some problem with the computer?

    That's what you get with most third-party batteries. Always use original batteries for your MacBook if you don't want problems.
    It looks like OS X detected something in the battery that may make it fail. My advice is to replace the battery you have by an original warranty, and everything should be back to normal

  • Help with placing images - why do they appear at 150% and look bad?

    Hi there,
    Relative newbie here.
    I have my display performace in InDesign set to high. Whether I 'place' an image or simply drag it onto the page, and regardless of what image file format I use (tif, png, jpg, whatever), when placed, the images appear about 50% bigger than the source, and low-ish quality. I'm forced then to try to resize them manually so they look good on-screen and when printed.
    Why when I place images do they not appear at 100%?
    Is there a way to resize images other than grabbing the re-size handles and hoping for the best?
    Many thanks.

    OK, if the scale says 100% with the direct select tool, that's what you have. Note that using the regular select tool (the black arrow) will ALWAYS show 100% in the scale fields unless you have set your prefs to "adjust scaling percentage," so that's why you use the direct select tool to check. You can also selct the image with either tool and look at the Info Palette. at 100% the actual and effective ppi listed will be the same. What resolution is currently listed in the Info Palette?
    I asked about click vs, click and drag because in CS4 when you drag a frame it always scales the image to fit. This is not true in CS3.
    Screen captures are typically 72 ppi at the size they are captured. 72 ppi is low for most print work, but for screen captures nobody really  expects much in terms of quality. You really are placing, right, not dragging from Photoshop into ID, which is the equivalent of pasting? Pasting an image gives you only the screen preview in CS3. I'm not sure you'd see a difference with a screen grab, though, since the preview would also be 72 ppi.
    If the image is really too large on the page you can scale in ID by holding the Ctrl + Shift keys while dragging a handle. You must press the keys before clicking the mouse in Windows becasue there is a bug. You can also use the Scale tool, or enter a new scale value in the scaling fields. You can use actual dimensions in those fields if you include the units, by the way.
    In Photoshop you can scale the image using Image > Image Size... If you uncheck the "resample image" box the resolutiuon will change in inverse proportion to the size, so reducing the size will increase the resolution, but there will be no differnce in quality over scaling in ID.

  • How do I complain I bought my daughter a mac, it's only 20 months old and it's completely broken, we have lost all her business info and photos. I am so not happy

    I am so unhappy, I bought my daughter a mac for her birthday and it is completely broken, she took it to the store in London, they told her it is corrupt, it won't turn on and she has lost all her business records and photos. I am her mum and not technical. It cost me so much for her birthday what on earth do I do now. They said she has to fix it herself!!!!!

    And does she have current backups of all her important files?
    Operating a business with a computer and not keeping current backups is a very dangerous thing to do. Hard drives can fail at any time. Experienced IT people will tell you there are two kinds of hard drives - those that have failed and those that are going to fail. The only question is when.
    Best of luck.

  • I have a new Macbook pro, about 2 months old, and at times running video, the fans starts and does not stop. how do you get it to stop.

    I have a new Macbookbook, about 2 months old, and at times running video, the fans starts and does not stop. how do you get it to stop. Also i am thinking once the video is done  the fan should be slowing down and getting quiet on its own.

    Your fan(s) will run at high speed (i.e., loudly) while video is playing, and you can't get around that.
    If your fans are not slowing down within 2-4 minutes after CPU- and/or GPU-intensive usage ends, and the application that was showing the video is still running, Quit that application. (In fact, if you're accustomed to Windows, you may not realize that simply closing a Mac application's window does not quit the application. You still need to use the Quit command in the application-name menu. There will always be a bright dot beside or below the application icon in your Dock for each application that is open.) Quit the ones you aren't using, and see whether that allows the fans to slow down without restarting the machine. If that doesn't do the trick, reset the SMC:

  • Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one.  Thank you.

    Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one.  Thank you.

    iTunes Match is a subscription system that allows you to upload your own music (e.g. coped from CDs) to the cloud so that it shows (in the cloud) on your devices and computers without having to sync/copy it.
    Automatic downloads allows to, for example, buy an app on your computer's iTunes and have it automatically download on your phone without having to connect and sync it or go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your download and download it yourself - but doing that, going to the Purchased tab and redownloading an app, should get it associated.
    But no, I'm not aware of any problems that not having it associated causes.
