HT1446 my mac tells me service battery what should i do ?

My battery doesnt last long anymore and it says service battery.. do i have to rplace it or there is anything else i can do to solve this problem out, thanks

I think around $129.00. You need to take it to an Apple Store where they send it off to Apple. I don't think the battery is user-servicable in a MBA.

    My macbook pro has service battery, what could happen if i upgrade the ram to 8gb

    "Service Battery" means just that - you need to make an appointment with your local Apple Store or AASP and have the battery checked out and, likely, replaced.
    If you upgrade to 8GB it will have no effect on the battery. 8GB is sort of the minimum that I would shoot for.

    If you use Windows program to partition the Hard Drive, the Apple partition gets destroyed.
    Windows does not understand it is a guest on your Mac, and throws garabge wherever it pleases.

  • HT1296 I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

    I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

    Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm so upset, have no even one contact on my phone. I has to do with the moving to iCloud from MobileMe.
    I did exactly what you wrote, and when trying to click the vcf file on the iPhone the screen freezing, and then after few long seconds it goes alon to home.
    So I tried less contacts in a Vcard, and i'm dividing my address book, doing little by little and it work.
    Thank you so much.
    I still dont get why the sync with my computer address book is not working.
    And why when I moved to icloud all the photos I had next to the contacts are disappered.
    I had my iPad, which it still, I did not move from MobileMe to iCloud and all the photos are there!
    Anything I can do to use the iCloud on the iPad as well and update the iCloud with the photos?

    If the videos are .wmv files, VLC from VideoLAN will play them and pretty much any other media format.

    There's no need to go to the store if you don't want to. You can purchase and download the new version from the Parallels web site. In fact if you want to try it out, I believe you can do the download and get a two week trial version. Later you can purchase the serial number to make it official.
    I cannot be certain about your data, but I did not lose anything when I updated to Lion and faced a similar situation.
    Best of luck.

    My Mac will not download Lion, What should I do.

    What's installed on your computer? If you don't have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later then you cannot get Lion. If you already have Lion installed then you cannot re-download from the App Store until you have reinstalled Snow Leopard.

  • My MBP 13" Mid 2010 indicate "Service Battery", What step should i take apart from visiting apple store?

    the Service Battery Message has been appearing after i upgraded to  OS x Lion from Snow Leopard. Tried reinstalling the previous OS but could not fix the problem.
    Am asking what to do to solve this situation. I can follow the instructions and do the process myself instead of taking it to apple store.

    But My Battery Cycle is only clocking 415. When fully charged. i can use it for some hours with power code removed BUT the moment i close the lid for it to sleep, it turns off instead. When i don't close while using battery, it sleep without and wake normally when i resume using the laptop. I can plan on buying a new battery but this model's has maximum battery cycle of up to 1000.

  • I have an IBook dual USB Mac OS x laptop. What should I do with it?

    I got this laptop from my aunt. It's an old IBook G3 Dual USB laptop with Mac OS x. It was very lightly used. I bought an airport card for it and downloaded a browser for it called Classila. Now I'm wondering: What should I do with it? Are there any games I can buy for it? I can't play any modern games like Minecraft or any others I've tried. I have an Xbox 360 so I dont rely on this iBook for gaming. Any tips? 5 point to best answer. Thanks

    I would suggest maximizing the RAM with a 512 MB module.

    We need to know how much space is on the hard drive. See if Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility gives you the information on the hard drive (its capacity and available space).
    Mac OS X 10.1 is available from Amazon.
    http://www.amazon.com/Mac-OS-10-1-OLD-VERSION/dp/B00005QVGV
    Once you have installed Mac OS X 10.1, you can then download the update here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1226
    Note this:
    If updating from Mac OS X 10.1, you must install Security Update 7-18-02 for v10.1 prior to installing this update.
    However, this is still a 10-year-old version of the OS and is not very good, so be forewarned.
    If the iBook has a drive which is capable of reading DVDs and has enough available space on it, then it would probably run best with Mac OS X 10.4.11 (once you have maximized the RAM with the 512 MB module).

  • My mac mini is running slow. what should I do?

    My mac mini is running slow. What should I do?

    Hello Kate,
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
