Examine the battery for signs of expansion. If any are present, you should replace the battery.

I have a Canon Power Shot A520 and I can't get the battery cover open.

I followed the manual and am new to my camera, but I cannot get the battery cover to slide open on my Canon Power Shot A520. Any suggestions.

Hi WG!
Thanks for posting.
There is a sliding lock switch on the battery door that needs to be slid to one side as you also push the battery door out. Please ensure you are doing both at the same time, otherwise the battery door remains locked.

I Have a HP Pavilion DV7 1285DX laptop I can not get the speaker cover buttons working.

I had to disassemble the laptop and now I can not get the buttons on the speaker cover working. The power button works and the buttons for the CD but the volume mute button and the wireless button will not work

Odds are you did not connect everything back up properly. Do you have the Service Manual? I have disassembled a dv7 and it has ribbon cables going all over the place. Very confusing.

How can I get the tech specs of my MacBook Pro?

Hi - I want to sell my MacBook Pro (to buy a new one). I am one of those people who loves Apple because I do not have to worry about techy things as I had to when I was a PC guy. The problem is that, as a result, now that I want to sell my MacBook, I cannot remember its tech configuration and do not know how to get it!!
I am sure this question is most silly for most of you. Could someone please let me know how I can get the tech specs of my MacBook? In particular, I was thinking of:
- OS X version
- Processor
- L2 cache
- System Bus
- Memory (RAm)
- Hard Drive
- Optical Drive
- Graphics card
- Graphics memory
- Video capability
- Display resolution
- Expantion slots, etc
- Ethernet card
- Wireless card
Thanks a lot!!

For the published specs, click on the Support tab at the top of the page, select the "Tech Specs" link, and search for your model of MacBook Pro. For specifics about your system, run System Profiler, which will be in Applications -> Utilities folder on your MBP.

How can I get the battery level of a connected Bluetooth device on my iPhone 4S?

My Bluetooth device is the Merkury Hexagon Bluetooth speaker, I want to know how to get the its battery level, In the manual, it says there: "Speaker battery indicator will show right on your media device (iOS support only)
Additional details:
- I have the latest iOS
- Not jailbroken
- The speaker doesn't have a "battery indicator" on it

this is not a build in part of any bluetooth profiles so to get that feature one needs third party software from the maker of the bluetooth device installed on the device in question
so maybe you should look for apps made for mercury hexagon in app store?

Can't Get the Battery to Charge on a Dell Inspiron 2200

After installing Arch on an old Dell Inspiron that was running WinXP the battery stopped charging. The power adapter and jack that commonly fail on Dells are both okay. I'm running XFCE4, shows 5% battery left. I don't think XFCE4 is misreporting how much charge the battery has because if I unplug the power source it reports battery critically low.
acpi -i shows:
Battery 0: Unknown, 5%
Battery 0: design capacity 4400mAh, last full capacity 4122 mAh = 93%
When I first noticed this I didn't think it could be software related, but then did a search and found that a few other archers had reported the same problem. BIOS shows a healthy battery. I tried one archer's suggestion to allow the battery charge in BIOS for a few minutes. If it's an arch setup issue, the battery would show that it's charging after several minutes. So it sat there for about 20 minutes and did not increase from a 5% charge. The battery is not bad, like I said, it was charging consitently when running WinXP a few days ago.

They use different chargers. You can see the Inspiron in the image below that there's no center pin, and it was charging with WinXP, which is why I think it's an Arch issue. Perhaps there's a kernel module that needs to be loaded that will fix the issue? IDK, but I don't think it's hardware related. The charger tip does seem a bit worn though.

Can't get the apple tv and my macbook to communicate..

I have the Apple TV and my MacBook Pro set up for Home Sharing, but when I click on the computer button on the apple tv is says "Turn on home sharing in iTunes". I am using the same apple id on the computer and apple tv. Not sure what to do now….

Hello!
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > Region Format and make sure it is set to the same country as your iTunes Store account:
Once you have made sure that is correct, walk over to your MacBook and open "Apple menu > System Preferences > Sharing" You will see a computer name at the top. Change it to something else. Doesn't matter what, as long as you don't include characters like ^*)@^$ and such.
Restart your computer after closing System Preferences.
Solved?

Can I get the battery replaced in my 3GS?

My 3 year old iPhone 3GS can no longer make it through an 8 hour day. I'm going to replace it with an upcoming new model in October. In the mean time, can the Apple Store replace it ?

Apple offers a battery replacement for $79, plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.

On the ipod touch 4th generation running on ios 6.1.3 can you get the battery percentage as a status bar item?

I am wondering if you could because it would really help if i could.

Where can I get the Boot Disk for my macbook pro? Downloading OSX Lion is taking too long

I got a macbook pro that was owned by someone for a few days before. I tried to restore to factory setting but now downloading OSX Lion is taking forever with my internet connection. Can anyone help me find a boot Disk to speed up the process?

Apple no longer sells a Lion installation USB flash drive (they did at one time). SO you'll just have to wait for the download to complete. It's best to 'hard-wire' the download - not over wifi but with an Ethernet cable connected directly to your router. That will gain you some speed.
You could also try taking your MBP to a friend's home where they may have a faster Internet service. My download speed is 22+Mbps with my cable company - you may have a friend or neighbor who has something similar? Of course, you are always at the mercy of Apple's servers - sometimes they're just overloaded and a download that should take 20 minutes can take up to an hour and one-half.
Good luck,
Clinton

Documents created on my iPhone or iPad go into iCloud with no problem. Why can't I get the documents created on my MacBook Pro to go into iCloud?

Documents created on my iPhone or iPad go into iCloud with no problem and I can then access those documents from any of my "toys". However, documents created on my MacBook Pro do not go into iCloud, and as such, they are not accessable from my iPhone or iPad. How can I get the documents created on my MacBook Pro to go into the cloud?

Reset iCloud sync state
On Mac:
Close open applications
Open a Finder window
Choose “Go to Folder…” from the “Go” menu
Enter “~/Library/Application Support/”
Find the folder named “Ubiquity” and move it to the Trash
Restart your computer

How can I get the best out of my battery life?

There are a variety of things you can do to extend your device battery life, and use your phone for longer periods of time to see you through the day.
Set your screen to timeout after a period of inactivity. This way your phone is not sitting idle with the screen backlight consuming extra energy. The recommended screen timeout is 30 seconds, but most phones will allow from 15 seconds to 10 minutes.
Turn off location services (GPS), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not using these functions. When they're on, your phone constantly searches for your current location and open networks, which has a big impact on battery life.
Turn down the screen brightness. For example, on an iPhone 4 the lowest brightness setting gives roughly 6.5 hours of continuous use, whereas the highest setting gives roughly 3.5 hours. You can always adjust the brightness when you're outside so you can still see your screen clearly. Some devices have an auto-brightness setting, where the phone adjusts the screen brightness depending on the light around it.
Close your applications. On smartphones, returning to the ‘home' screen only minimises your apps – they keep running in the background. Closing your apps fully will save power; for example, on Samsung Galaxy devices hold down the home button for two seconds to see a list of all open apps. You can then swipe these to the left of the screen to exit them completely. On an Apple product, double press the home button to bring up all active applications and exit from there.

Re: How can I get the best out of my battery life?
Hi,
When I make phone calls people on the other end have difficulty hearing me. They describe as they can hardly hear me as if I was speaking through the pillow etc). I am not touching any buttons and obviously it is not mute. This was happening couple of time in June, then every now and then. Recently it happened a few time in 2 weeks. I was trying to check if it was a reception issue but the place I spoke from is my office I make 70% of phone calls from. Can you book time for me in repair shop and address the issue.
Thank you.

Can you get a battery replacement at an Apple store while you wait? What would the rough cost be, out of warranty?

Can you get a battery replacement at an Apple store while you wait? What would the rough cost be, out of warranty?

I am not sure what device you are trying to replace the battery on, but usually the battery is at least 30% of the cost of the device from what I have read. Apple likes to keep a monopoly on batteries I think. I have never seen them replace a battery at the store, usually they have to ship it out. You can find batteries for sale online, but you will have to crack the device open yourself.

Connect the AC charge to the system. Battery will charge to 100%.
But it is very bad to drain the battery to Zero. So don't make a habit of doing that.
