I find my wireless bluetooth iMAC keyboard has low battery life

Hi, my wireless Apple Keyboard went from 43% to 19% battery life in one day ! IS this normal ?? Using it with my 27" iMAC and magic mouse.

I too am having the same problem with my wireless Apple Mighty Mouse. I bought it at the end of January, 2012 and love the thing, but after totally charging some rechargeable Duracell batteries (2450 mAh) they last about 4 days!? I wonder if this is just something we have to live with???

HT2452 my imac keyboard has stopped working? help!!!

my imac keyboard has stopped working??? help!!!!!

My keyboard just stopped working out of the clear. One minuet OK next it was dead. No little green light at all. New batteries did not help.
FIXED THE PROBLEM! I took a small piece of aluminum, made a little ball out of it and dropped it down the tube where the batteries go. Replaced the batteries I had just used......little green light comes on and the the keyboard functions like always.
My guess is after a few years the contacts oxidize a bit and don't make contact with the batteries on the bottom of the tube. Give it a try.

Are you using a Laptop or a Desktop?
Things you need to do :
1. Check the Network Connection. You can find it under the Control Panel. See if the Wireless Connection is Enabled/Disabled.
2. Check the Device Manager. You can find it on your System Properties. See if you have the wireless adapter installed.
3. For Laptops. Check if you have the WiFi Switch Enabled. See you Laptop documentation for the WiFi Switch Info.

Wireless driver triggers warm/hot macbook and low battery life after OS 10.8 mountain lion upgrade

Hello frustrated Macbook users.
I have tried to get help on other Apple discussions but no one seems to want to help, they aren't actually reading my posts, or they hate me for some reason.
No matter.
If you have a warm Macbook that has 2.5 hours of battery life where you used to have 4 or more, please do this simple procedure and write the result below.
Turn OFF Airport wireless networking
Perform an SMC reset (Power Manager)
Connect an ethernet cable and use your Macbook normally. (but do NOT turn on wireless networking again)
How is your battery life after doing this?
I have a user over here who reclaimed decent battery performance if he doesn't use his Airport wireless.
I need confirmation.
If so, I may get a USB wireless adapter and see if the battery life stays good.
Bonus points: If you have a Mac compatible USB wireless adapter and got good results by turning off the built-in adapter, want to test it for me and report the results?
Thanks and good luck!

UPDATE:
Problem persists when using Recovery Partition.
Chance sthat it is third party softwae or updates is more or less eliminated.
Update 10.8.3 beta fixed the problem for one lucky early adopter.
Hypothesis: New battery charging algorithms programmed into Mountain Lion OS10.8 triggered problems from design flaws that were NOT an issue for OS 10.7 and before.
Battery replacements were successful where the replacement battery was built within tolerances that did not fail under 10.8's new charging algorithms. Other bateries did not meet those tolerances so you would get spotty results from battery replacements. It worked sometimes, but not always.
OS 10.8.3 may have adjusted these algorithms to be less demanding on the features of the battery that were failing.
Official word from Apple is 'mum'.

My MacBook will not turn on unless it's connected to a charger. However, when it's on and charging, it says that it has 0% battery life despite the green light on the charger. How can I fix this?

Your battery has reached the end of its life. If you have a MacBook with the removable battery you can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay.

New wireless Keyboard with terrible battery life

Is this how they all work?
I recently bought a wireless keyboard for my mac mini that's in a closet functioning as a media server. It seems that the battery life is terrible. I used the keyboard for about one hour one day and didn't touch the device for two weeks. After this two week interlude the batteries were dead. This is the 2nd time I have noticed this.
So should I remove the batteries when not using the keyboard. I can't seem to tell if the keyboard is on or off by pushing the button since the keyboard light doesn't stay on when in use.
I have other wireless keyboards that seem to have battery life that go and go and go

One Possible EXPLANATION For Apple Wireless Keyboards Or Mice GOING THROUGH BATTERIES In A Matter Of Weeks is as follows:
When you shut down or sleep your Mac, if there is a second Mac running at some distance away (up to 100 meters distance), and this distant Mac has bluetooth switched on, and was, for some reason, previously been paired with your wireless keyboard or mouse, then I believe the keyboard or mousewill try to link to the distant Mac after you have shut down the local Mac, using all its available transmission power to overcome the distance, and thereby wearing down the batteries.
This happened to me. I have two Macs in the house, and paired my new wireless keyboard with both computers, just so that I could use this keyboard with either Mac.
But when I shut down the Mac I was using, without me realizing, my wireless keyboard that I had in front of me would then link up to my other distant Mac (which was usually always running), located at the other side of my house, and in doing so, my wireless keyboard would wear out its batteries in weeks from the power drain due to long distance transmission and reception.
Whether this battery draining from long distance transmission and reception can also occur when the wireless keyboard or mouse has not been paired with the distant Mac, I am not sure. It's conceivable that in the bluetooth polling mode, where the distant computer is trying to link up to the wireless keyboard or mouse, there could also be substantial power draining from long distance transmission and reception (especially if bluetooth is set to discoverable).
Someone may want to test this: seeing if bluetooth polling over distance can drain power. Who knows, it may be that your neighbor has a Mac, and so when you switch off your computer, your wireless keyboard or mouse spends all night trying to link to your neighbor's Mac.

Wireless Keyboard flashes low battery

Even with new batterie,s the low battery indicator for my wireless keyboard flashes on the screen. Is anyone else having this problem?

Hi 3 macs-
Did you replace them with fresh, name-brand alkaline or rechargeable cells?
Do you have a wireless mouse that needs batteries?

Can my blue tooth keyboard affect iPad battery life?

For some reason my battery life isn't as long as it once was and it hit me that it may be from leaving the blue tooth keyboard in the on position. Would this run the battery down more quickly?

My experience with using a BT keyboard is that it has a negligible affect on battery life. The connection drops if I'm not using it for a while and picks up again when I start typing. I am using a Logitech keyboard designed specifically for iPads.

IPod Touch 5th gen suddenly has terrible battery life after updating to ios 8.0.2!

I updated to ios 8.0.2 around 2 weeks ago and bam! the next day I wake up and use my ipod (I usually leave it on during the night, and battery is still good) and it's down to 50%, then to 20% later! And now the battery is terrible! it goes down much faster than before! I have bluetooth and all the battery killer stuff off before, so my battery was really good...and now it's horrible!
Have you guys experienced this? Any solutions? Is this some bug?

Fully charged ipod clicks of saying it has low battery

Hi
Even though my ipod states it has been fully charged - it then plays a couple of songs - only to click off saying it has a low battery can anyone help?
Thanks
Ash

Unfortunately this doesn't work - also I can't seem to reset my ipod - I've pressed the Menu and Play button together - and it does appear with the apple logo - but then it comes back with the songs and same settings.
Ash

My iPod got lost and was stolen by this lady I've should have done something but now I'm tracking it but its offline and has low battery and the icloud is not set up. someone please help I'm so shocked that this happened and I still keep remembering it.

Someone tell me what to do
Find my iPhone isn't helping
My iPod battery is dead and its offline. And it's with a lock and its in lost mode
Please help me I'm freaking out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Juan,
Sorry for your troubles. If you did not have iCloud set up and Find My iPhone turned on, then you cannot track the phone.
Report it to the police
Change your AppleID password
Contact your carrier to see if they can block it
That's about all you can do....
Sorry,

My Iphone 4 was charged all night but is saying it has no battery life

Ok this has happened many many times. I will have my phone plugged in to charge all night and when I wake up it says it has no battery. If I unplug it from the charger eventually it turns off and turns back on, that is in the past, and when it did, it would say the battery was fully charged. However, today it will not turn off. I have held down the home button and the button on top, held down the button on top, and unplugged it for over an hour so it would completely die. But nothing is helping. What causes my phone to do this? It is so frustrating. Please HELP ME!

You need to call your service provider, and ask them if your SIM card is activated.
