I am trying to understand why the battery life on my recently purchased Macbook seems to be no more than 3-4 hours.
I am trying to understand why the battery life on my recently purchased Macbook pro is 3-4 hours. Does anyone have this same problem?

i dont know why the battery life of my iphone 4 is so low ! i really want to know how many hours i'll have if it's on standby. And how many hours if i use it normally for music and facebook (sometimes a little bit games) !!!
to enhance your battery life, keep screen display to minimum, set screen lock automatically after 1 min, select internet notifications to off.

My MacBook Pro is really hot and the fan is on constantly. It didn't use to do this, does anyone know why this is happening? I have a very short battery life, so I have to keep it plugged in probably more than I should.
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

Only thing running on it is Chrome, and the battery life is only 3:38. Am I doing anything wrong?
It also depends upon what you are doing on Chrome. Video and flash will eat up battery life. You are probably doing nothing wrong.
You might open Activity Monitor and see what applications are taking a lot of CPU%. Make certain that you have selected 'All Processes".

Internet sharing is turned "on" and appears to be working, but really isn't. Locking the screen, restarting, or a hard reboot helps, but it is extremely aggravating not to be able to maintain a connection for more than a few hours at a time!
Thank you so much for the info! I apologize for having asked for your device model as that is the forum you posted to. Also, I know that we've set the expectation that the device will remain connected as long as a demand for signal flows through it, but that may not be entirely the case. After a period of constant use, any device (including the Lumia 822) may require or force itself to stop.
You've mentioned that the device will freeze after a few hours usage. Is the device also connected to the charger while being used as a hotspot? If so, do you notice the device getting warmer than it normally would be?

Have 2 month old Touch 4th Gen why is the battery life so bad?
Hi everyone,
I have a 2 month old 4th gen Touch and find that the battery life is very bad. My 2nd gen Touch still works and I've had that since it was released (and I understand why the battery isn't so good on that anymore). Ever since I've had this I have to charge it at least once a day, thought I had heard that the battery life on the 4th gen was never good to begin with but this does seem very frustrating. I admit that I tend to use my Touchto play games and use the Internet. I always turn off Wi-FI when not on the Internet and I turn off push notifications and watch out for the brightness as well. I have IOS 5.1 but was wondering what other people think about the battery. I know I'm still under warranty but do not want to just get another touch if this will happen to any touch I would get as a replacement. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.How bad is "so bad?" You need to determine the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists. -
I don't know why the battery life has just become so poor. I can listen to 1 song and lose 1/2% battery life. I had all the settings the same as before updating to ISO6 and now it just goes. I did drop it around the same time but I have a stong case so I don't see how this should effect it. If anyone knows how to fix it would be a great help because I used to love iPod but I am very dissapointed.
Internal damage from fall or loose connector. Take it to
Apple to be checked. -
My WiFi is not working on my ipod touch third gen. The wifi option in setting is blanked out so i am unabole to select it. I have tried restored it and resetting network connections. Also the battery life is very low. How do i fix this????????????
If a restore did not fix it, you have a hardware issue--possible bad wi-fi radio.

I bought the iphone 5 has not been one week do not understand why the home key of the time activities at stops working, not crash or fall. hope its help, probably due to software, not hardware failure, what do I do now?
Restore iPhone with current iTunes on computer. See if better. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. Of if easier for you, take receipt and iPhone, box and everything and return to where you bought it.

Is there a Thunderbird manual? I'm trying to understand all the View/Threads options.
I'm learning Thunderbird, hoping to adopt it as my mail client (can't keep Eudora afloat any more). The forums are not efficient for learning it. Right now I'm trying to understand all the View/Threads options, but tomorrow it will be something else.
Thanks, those are helpful. The first one doesn't explain threads options but it led me to https://github.com/protz/GMail-Conversation-View/wiki/What-is-threading, which told me to do View > Sort by > Threaded (I had only tried View > Threads > ...). It also explains threading by message ID, whereas Eudora seems to do it only by subject line.
Neither reference explains the options under View > Threads > ... but I'll figure it out by trial & error.
The second reference led to http://www.nidelven-it.no/documentation/thunderbird/introduction-to-thunderbird, which also looks helpful. -

The photos that I better (improves automatic) are saved on the iphone, but when I transfer them to my PC improvements appear no more, only on iphone. I do not understand why the improvements are just the iphone, and not continue when I transfer the photos to my PC.
Thanks.Chicky, I have searched my computer for "iPod Photo Cache" and 51 folders pop up, plus 3 files (iPodInfo.plist, Photo Database and Image DB Temp.tmp). How do I know which to delete and which to keep? The Apple website page tackling this issue doesn't go into any detail. Thanks yet again.

I have upgraded my iPod touch and it didnt respond to the upgrade. Cant remember which iOS i was upgrading but when i try to switch it on the apple logo comes up but than it just goes to the loading logo until the battery life is gone. I have tried restarting it , that doesnt work. I need help i am lost without my ipod please help. Any ideas besides restarting it ?
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.

Found the reason why my battery life was short
As topic says, I found the reason why my battery life was short.
Having had the Iphone 4 since launch, I've always been impressed by the battery life.
So when it started to go from 100% to 50% overnight, with no use I started wondering what caused this.
I my case it was the wireless network, before I used to have just one wireless router, but recently I bought a accesspoint using it as a signal repeater(booster), giving me 100 % wifi coverage at home.
Since the repeater has the same wireless SSID as the router it seems to confuse the iphone, making it switch between connecting to the router and the accesspoint nonstop and therefore draining the battery.
Disconnected the accesspoit and now things are back to normal.If you have just one wireless router you can't turn the accesspoint off, you could try turning wifi off on the phone and see if that helps.
In my case the wifi range of the router and the accesspoint overlapped each other, making the iphone constantly switch between them.
