Hello! So I own a 13" rMBP, and I'm running OSX 10.9.4.
How do I log my battery percentage with the date, probably down to the hour, preferably to an Excel file?
I want to track the rate at which my battery discharges, so that in the future I can compare the present rate of discharge with the past and see exactly how much my battery has deteriorated by. I'll take averages over long periods of time to account for, e.g. the fact that watching Netflix drains my battery faster than editing an essay. I also want a solution that uses negligible power in the background.
I've spent hours looking for an app that both calculates the rate of discharge and keeps all data, but I haven't found any. Eventually I decided that hopefully it isn't too difficult to write an AppleScript or something that simply logs the system clock and battery percentage in tandem every hour or so.
Thank you for your time!

Here is the script to create a CSV text file with
Date
Time
Current Battery Percentage as an integer
#!/bin/bash
batterycsv="$HOME/battery.csv"
export GREP_OPTIONS="--color=never"
# if you want the percentage sign too, exclude the second egrep
battpct=$(pmset -g ps | egrep -o "(\d+)%" | egrep -o "\d+")
datetime=$(date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M")
printf "%s,%s,%s\n" $datetime $battpct >> $batterycsv
Output on a fully charged MacBook Air to battery.csv will be individual lines of the following format:

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good for me. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel. Also my itunes doesn't allow "enable disk use" anymore. Can anyone help? My ipod now says that it's the 4.3.4 version
- Unjailbroken iPod never showed % battery. Just the icon.
- Unjailbroken iPod Touches never had a disk mode.
- What happens when you try to drag a wiggling app to a empty space in the bottom? Does it move and snap back? -
I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.
One likely reason is the % battery is not that accurate because of the smaller battery capacity in the iPod compared to iPhone and iPad. Users why use a % battery app post that the % reading changes a lot.

On my iPhone 5, the battery symbol and percentage won't change, even while charging or during usage throughout the day. The battery is however charging and draining properly from what I can tell.
Has anyone had this issue or know of a fix?
ThanksTry this
Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).
Using the phone while charging doesn't create a problem.. I do it all the time -
a lock logo with an arrow encircling it has appeared besides the battery percentage symbol in my iphone 4s. What does that mean and how to get rid of it ?
Its the screen orientation lock, and is covered in the User Guide.
Double-tap the home button, swipe to the right on the dock area and tap the left-most icon. -
hey, I broke my iPhone 4 screen when I change it my phone start to turn off while my battery reach the 25% when I connect it to the charger it switched on, and the battery percentage is around 25% so it's the time for a new battery, or I need to calibrate it? thank you
There are no user serviceable parts in an iPhone. Since you
made an unauthorized repair to your iPhone, you will have to
seek assistance elsewhere.
Google or ifixit.com may provide some direction, but you can
get no help here per Terms of Service. Sorry to tell you this,
but it is what it is. -
after upgrading to ios 5.1 on my iphone 3gs, the battery percentage dosent work well, it dosent move. how can i fix the problem?
Have you tried doing turning the battery level display off and then General -> "Reset all settings"? You won't loose any data and that should do the trick.

Why is the battery percentage on my iPhone 4S on iOS7 freezing then dropping in big 10/20% chunks?
Since upgrading to iOS7 my 4s has been having issues with battery meter. Take today for instance, it fell steadily to 59% then dropped instantly to 39% (I was not using any apps at the time). It has now been stuck on 32% for over half an hour, I've taken photos, used YouTube and other apps in an attempt to drain it but no change.
I've turned off all unnecessary processes, including location services and background refresh to eliminate drain. System status meter shows processor operating at 10% when no apps open so it doesn't look like background processes are draining.
I can't rely on the battery meter when it isn't accurate, it could suddenly drop to 5% or similar without warning.
Is anyone else having these problems? Any ideas Apple?
It's going to render my phone untrustworthy and inaccurate.Hi!
I am having similar issue.
I have upgraded my iPhone 4s to the new iOS 7 and since then my battery indicator is stucked at 44%. Now regardless how much I charge or how much I use, it is showing the same battery level.
Although this get refreshed when I restart the iPhone and it shows the current battery level and then again stucks at the same percentage. This was working fine on iOS 6.1.3, but is showing issues after the upgrade.
I have tried to restore it, reset settings by selecting Erase All Content and Settings, hard reset (power+home button for 10 sec) but still no good, it shows the same level of battery percentage at which it is since last reboot.
Although I was having iOS 6.1.3 ispw so I downgraded it again as Apple was signing iOS 6.1.3 at that time. Now the battery percentage is working fine. Therefore its not a hardware issue for sure and is just some bug with iOS 7.
Now I have again upgraded to iOS 7.0.3, and I am facing the same issue again. And now I can't even downgrade to iOS 6.1.3.
If you get some tips on how to solve this, then please share the same. -
My 16gig ipone 3gs was working perfectly since it was replaced only a month or to prior. I was visiting with some friends around the ole pipe and low and behold the phone was completly dried of it's go juice. One we noticed I reached into the kitchen and plugged it in to the outlet.,,, The battery died and I plugged it in correctly to charge and it also said Emergency calls only in various foriegn languages. It also said to plug it into your itunes. All the while haviing no calling options to say the least. I followed the apple instructions perfectly when it said that there was a new version of itunes I should download first, prior to refreshing it. It went through all of the installing and so on then at the end you still get a useless phone that doesnt work. IMEI: unknown and ICCIC; unknown (both of which can be found by you on the box or on the sim card case. I completley removed the sim card and it worked in my hubbies 3g. I tried several times and also AT&t had made sure the imei and iccic where correct. So I spent hours getting nowhere with this. Its new and nice and broken.. Im going to leave that Apple store with a brand new iphone 4 tomorrow. Simply b/c it is for my pain and suffering and for giving me a crappy refurbished phone. Fair is fair. So if you've found a way to fix great, but Im going to get that free iphone 4 xoxo toodllloooo
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

How do I get the battery percentage to show on my iPod? It's 4G, iOS 6.1.6...
How do I permanently put the battery percentage next to the battery icon on the top right of my screen. It does not say "Battery Percentage >"
samik 16 , that option is not native to iPods

To enable battery percentage, open the Settings app. Then, tap on the General menu. Tap on "Usage," and then there should be an option for Battery Percentage which may need to be switched to the ON position. -
TS3274 The battery percentage on my iPad won't go up?
I plugged my iPad in the charger, but the battery percentage stays at 2%. Ive always used ths charger, it was just suddenly today?
The charger may have failed. Take it to the Apple Store for evaluation.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
