How to know if your internal battery has died

How do you know if your internal battery has died without pulling it out of the computer and with out a battery tester?

Hi, REMeeks -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
One way to do that is to make sure the date and time are correct, then shut the machine down and unplug it. Wait about an hour, then plug it in and start it up again. Check the date and time - if they are still correct, the battery is probably still good enough.
Unplugging the machine is important - even when the machine is turned off, if it is still plugged into live power it will draw a bit of current in order to maintain PRAM and the clock chip. By unplugging it you force it to use the battery; if that is too weak, the date and time will revert to original default.

How to run disk utility from your startup DVD.
Insert your startup DVD into your reader. Power down your machine. Hold down to the c key. Power on your machine. This will bootup your startup DVD.
This will bring you to a panel asking you for your language. Pick your language.
You you come to the Install Mac OS panel. Do not install.

Verify a disk
As an alternative, you can verify that the filesystem on the disk is correct. You will not be able to repair the file system.
I suggest that you use disk utility to verify that your startup disk is OK.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
Start up disk utility. On the left pane view, you will see a list of all your disks.
Click on your startup disk.
Click on the First Aid Tab.

Hopefully your disk will verify. If not, you have to boot from your installation DVD and run Disk Utility from there to attempt to repair your file-system.

How to know whether balance carry forward has happened or not

How to know , whether balance carry forward has happened or not for a perticular GL account or for the company code as a whole?

If the account is a balance sheet account, you can merely look at the beginning balance for the same balance sheet account for the beginning of the next fiscal year FS10N. The beginning balance will equal the previous year's ending balance. Since this does not happen automatically, you will know that carry forward has not been done if a balance sheet account has no beginning balance in the following fiscal year.
If you are talking about For P&L GL accounts, you can check the acvitity in the retained earnings accounts to make sure that they have been updated for the P&L activity. You can identify the retained earnings account by looking at the master data for the account in the section "P&L statmt acct type" and pulling up the menu to see the actual retained earnings account number.
You can perform carry foward (GVTR) as many times as you want but normally once it has been ran, any postings to a previous fiscal year are automatically carried forward to the current year after that initial run.

HT3696 How to know if your mac is using the latest Haswell architecture processor or not? and how to know the difference between the new imac and the 2012/13 imac?

How to know if your mac is using the latest Haswell architecture processor or not? and how to know the difference between the new imac and the 2012/13 imac?

Sorry to reopen an old post, but I've just purchased a 2nd hand late-2013 iMac (or so thats what the seller said).
I'm always sceptical though, and just wanted to know if there is a way to check if my iMac is indeed the late-2013 model that included Haswell?
I've attached screenshots of the About This Mac section hoping it may help shed some light.
Thank you in advance for your help!
PS - I can't compare to the iMac specs link you posted above because its now showing the late-2014 models.

Phone battery has died.

my phone battery has died. Think there is a fault with the handset. Is there anyway I can transfer my pictures across? I have purchased Itunes match.

If your battery is dead, that means your phone is dead, and if that's the case, no you can't do anything with a dead iPhone but look at it.
Have you tried charging the phone?
Try restting it while plugged into the wall outlet: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

If your nano battery is dying

If your nano battery is dying and you need serviceing will they send you one of the new nanos instead of replacing your battery since the nanos battery cannot be replaced and a new unit is required?

We've heard this lots of times... There have been quite a few posts from people saying they got "ripped off" because they bought a Nano right before Apple came out with the new ones... as well as people asking if they can return their old Nano for a new model... or if their old Nano fails (sometimes because they caused it to fail) will Apple replace it with one of the new models.
If someone has a legitimate problem, Apple will usually send you a refurbished Nano if it's past the 14 day point. The only way they will send you a new model is if they no longer have any of the old Nanos left.

My 13 MacBook Pro acts like the battery has died while it is plugged in.

I will use my MacBook normally, it will be plugged in and fully charged. I will leave it on, close the lid and leave it plugged in for the night. The next morning it will still be fully charged (the charger indicator light is green, pressing the button on the left also shows full green dots). I will open the lid and instead of being ready to go right where it left off it has a white washed screen with a loading bar across the bottom. It goes through what normally happens as if the battery has died. It takes several minutes to fully start up before I can use it. Battery indicator is still at 100%. Strangely, this problem does not occur when I leave the computer on, UNPLUG it and close the lid. The next morning it will be ready to go without the white-washed loading screen. There is some, but minimal, battery depletion after that but only do to being unplugged. Otherwise it's fine.
Right now it's in diagnostics overnight at my local apple store. But the apple genius, and several other people I have talked to have not heard of this problem. Any insight? That computer is less than a year old, purchase december 2012. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact operating system. Thank you!

Youve got a wake from sleep issue when powered.
yes, youve got a late 2012 macbook Pro running 10.8.5
Theyll diagnose it and take care of it or replace the logic likely.

Ipod frozen with sync screen even after battery has died and been recharged

My wifes ipod nano 3rd generation is stuck on the sync screen even after it has been unplugged, the battery has died, and it has been recharged again.

Hi buddy,
In my opinion the only the only one that you can do is updating the BIOS as Akuma suggested. This problem is not software related so thats the only option you have I think. You can download the newest BIOS version here:

If not, contact an authorized service provider please. The guys can fix all hardware related problems can diagnose this problem. Maybe the mainboard or something else must be exchanged.
Good luck! :)

HT204266 How to reset an "Your Apple ID Has Been Disabled" Error

Having trouble updating apps due to "Your Apple ID Has Been Disabled" error on IPhone 3GS and Windows 7 ITunes. How can I reset?

Welcome to the Apple community.
When your account becomes disabled, Apple provides the following recommendation:
"This message means that someone tried and failed to sign in to your account multiple times. The Apple ID system disables the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You need to reset your password, following the instructions at the Apple ID website".
Visit iForgot.com and follow the instructions there
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support
