My battery dies very quickly and even when the battery indicates that it is 50% full

I had similar issue with one of the macbooks in the office. Make sure you've got latest firmware installed (run Software Update). This resolved the issue for us instantly (you may need to reboot mac AFTER firmware upgrade for this to work).

    I am a first time user.  When I try to purchase a song and enter my ID and password and hit buy, the system indicates that the account is new and I should preview my account info.  I do that, enter Paypal as my purchase option, get verification, and try to purchase again same message.  How do I get out of this loop so that I can buy?

    Sounds like you have abn expired credit card linked o yoru accopunt.
    View your iTunes account payment info and select None for the CC.
    You may need to first add a valid card number before you can remove it.

  • Looking for a way to log privilege adds even when the user has that priv

    We've run into a situation where we want IDM to log privilege adds/removes, even when that privilege already exists (for add) or doesn't exist (for remove) on a person.  Let me give some background.
    We are a small team working on an IDM project, each team member with 6-30 months of experience with the IDM product.  We're using 7.1.
    We have two systems, one of which is queryable and (certain) privileges updatable via REST API -- we'll call this system REST.  The second system of course is IDM.
    When an IDM privilege is added or removed, the business requirement is to always keep IDM and REST in sync, privilege-wise.  This is no problem and we have provisioning set up to make the API call, and it works great.  However, if there is a problem with the REST API (network issue, just plain down, etc.) this sync can't happen.  So, within the provisioning framework, if there is a failure, the failure is logged and the privilege is reverted, keeping REST and IDM synced.  A job runs regularly to check this log table and re-attempt the appropriate action, which of course will trigger provisioning again, hopefully successfully.
    The problem occurs in a situation like this, where each point comes in chronological order.
    1. User X gets privilege Y granted within an IDM UI.
    2. Provisioning triggers, but for some reason the REST API call fails (twice, because of retry).
    3. The failure task for the REST API call removes privilege Y from user X.  The error is logged.
    4. After a while, some job runs which removes privilege Y from all users whose names begin with X.  Even if the job explicitly removes privilege Y from user X, this is not logged in the system in any way, doesn't trigger provisioning, etc.
    5. After another while, the "retry job" runs and attempts action #1 again.  This time, the provisioning succeeds.  Now user X has privilege Y on both IDM and REST.  However, because of step 4, clearly user X should not have privilege Y.
    The same (well, reverse) issue occurs when removing the priv in step 1 and doing a grant in step 4.  During tests, one can just set up a To Identity Center step and remove/assign a privilege to an arbitrary person, then run the job containing this step repeatedly.  If the action has no net effect, there's no record (in, for example, sentries, oentries, or indeed in mxi_(old)values).  It would be great if there was a generic way to cause these actions to be logged, and we've actually thought of a couple other cases where this logging would be useful as well.  Is there some simple way?  Is it already logged in some esoteric table we haven't thought of?
    Any thoughts on this interesting scenario would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    Hi Chris,
    If I understand correctly, since you are using the log to ensure that the privileges are synced.
    Any chance you could enhance step 4 to remove information about the failed assignment from the log, so that it will not be retried?
    Note also, that this is improved in IdM7.2 and the framework. You will only get the privilege assigned after the add-member task has successfully assigned the privilege in the back-end system (which is what you are trying to achieve).

  • Hdmi cable sound wont come out even when the settings say that the sound is coming from tv

    Macbook pro, new last August.
    The weird part about this is that it worked about an hour before this happened and then I unplugged it and it stopped. The HDMI cable is plugged into the side of the laptop and the screen duplicator works fine but the sound doesn't come out. When I go to my settings, the sound is selected for the tv but nothing is coming out... the volume is up on the tv.

    i have managed to fix this issue in a way that im not even sure how..

  • Why does my MacBook Pro battery discharge even when the charger is plugged in?

    I've been having a myriad of problems with my MacBook Pro's battery. The main problem is that when in use, the battery steadily discharges often at a very quick rate even when I have the charger plugged in, the only way I can get it to recharge is to close the lid or turn the computer off, however, it has recently started to take a very long time to recharge (I left it for 12 hours and it charged from 0% to 60%). I also noticed that while off, the charger light occassionaly goes green and then back to orange every few minutes. When I manage to get the battery up to 100% charge, it usually stays at 'Charged' for around 5 or 10 minutes and then it just comes up with 'Calculating...' as it slowly discharges, it also occassionaly claims that it is recharging and that it will take around 6 to 8 hours but it only charges about 1% of the battery and switches to 'Not charging'. Also, sometimes the charger light wont come on when it is plugged in and the Mac refuses to acknowledge it is plugged in for some time.
    I took it to the Apple Store a few months ago and one of the Geniuses reset the System Management controller and did a quick hardware test which seemed to fix it but the problems returned soon after, I cannot enter the hardware test screen and subsequent attempts to reset the SMC have done nothing, he also tested the charger and tried it with another charger but it did not help.  Hope you guys can help me as I am completely stumped by this and its beginning to annoy me as my Mac is becoming almost unusable.

    Thanks for your solution, it wasn't quite what solved the problem but i remembered that i had a bit of salt water on my phone recently and spraying the charging port with an anti-oxide spray solved my problem, do you mind if i ask, how is the charging port related with the volume or/and speakers?
