I'm having battery issues after updating to OS 10.9.2. Anyone else?

I noticed that my 13 inch late-2011 MacBook Pro has seen a significant decrease in battery life after updating to OS 10.9.2.  For example, I will turn off my wifi and just watch DVD's and the battery life isn't any where near what it used to be. It's only a few hours!  This is awful. My brightness settings are down and I'm not connecting anything into the USB ports and I am not using wifi. Any ideas or anyone else experiencing similiar issues?
Thank you!

jrnet154,
have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller?

  • I notice a lot of you started having battery issues after updating to iOS 6....

    I'm not saying this could be the reason but I'm about 98% sure it has something to do with it. I have an iPhone 4S and when I first got it, I remember the display was very very bright... i would set it on low and it was still pretty bright. Battery consumption was horrible, I could literally sit there stare at the screen and see the battery percentage drop. Then when some kind of update was released about a month later iOS 4.XX something along the lines... that suppose to fix the issue. I updated my phone and it was fixed. However, it was fixed because my phone got more dimmed.. i could max out the brightness and it was still no where near the brightness of before. And this cause my battery life to be better. However after I updated to iOS 6 the brightness came back, and my battery is rapidly decreasing like it did before. So i'm guessing this had something to do with the battery issues. I'm hope this will help you all. to make your battery last longer, dim your phone, better for your eyes too

    I, on the other hand, had no brightness issues on the 4S after upgrading to iOS 6, and no change in (good) battery life.  If could be something else, an app or background process that is less efficient with iOS 6?  Could be anything.

  • Anyone else having battery issues since updating to iOS 7?

    After updating my iPhone 4S to iOS7, I noticed a horrible drain on my battery! From 100% to 62% in less than two hours... I have tried shutting off Bluetooth and even disabling refreshing background apps, and have my screen brightness set at less than 45% but it is still draining fast... Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone have any idea why?

    Okay it seems I was right.
    After I originaly posted here I unplugged my phone and let it drain to about 30% before charging it back up to full.  I went home and my 5 year old son and I played on it, including an pretty memory intensive human anatomy app for kids -- sometimges plugged in, sometimes not.  Used it A LOT last night, playing with settings, cheking out the new auto update feature, notifications, etc.  I didn't end up turning any of the new features off in settings, and even enabled a few new features.  Then, as usual, I plugged it in when I went to bed and let it run a clock/alarm program (Rise) all night.
    This morning I drove to work (about 20 minutes) with turn-by-turn navigation running and a podcast playing in the background -- not plugged in to power.  When I got to work the battery showed 98%.  Leaving the phone unplugged, I have been playing that video podast for half an hour -- with a pause for a phone call set up by Siri -- and battery is currently showing 93%.
    I think it's going to be okay.  Everybody breathe.

  • Droid Hd battery issues after update

    I have a droid hd and ever since the update my battery drains really fast and I don't always get the notification sound or light that I have received a text.  I have done the hard reset and it still  draining  I had it on for 7 hours and 5 of those hours had no activity at all it was at about 90% then went to like 32%.  With the phone having no activity at all the phone should of still been very well charged.   I am really disappointed with this update and I know I am not the only one

        Hello jodster70! I don't want you having any issues with your device. I know how important it is for your device to hold a charge. I'd like to ask a couple of questions, so we can get to the root cause of the issue.
    Before the update, what was your battery life like? In addition, when you mentioned the battery drain, did the screen show 90%, then just changed to 32%? Or did you use the phone (even for just a minute) and the battery drained?
    Please supply me with some additional information. I'm sure we can help you with a resolution.
    Thanks,

  • Droid Battery Issues after Update to 2.2

    Has anyone had there battery drain in the matter of hours after updating to 2.2? My wifes phone, her battery is already dead and her update was done about 2 hrs ago. It's not the facebook app because when she did her update she lost all of her apps so i know its none of those things.
    any ideas?

    A lot of folks have been reporting this problem. I did notice this as well after I updated my phone. Seems like battery life lost about an extra 2-3 hours. My guess is that the Android OS is using a lot more processing power to keep the phone stable, but it seems to be mostly from the phone being on standby (go to Settings>About Phone>Battery Use to see what is using your battery), which is weird in my opinion. I have a feeling that there might be another patch in our future.

  • VZW Messaging app continues to crash even after update, and several re-installs. Anyone else still having this problem, and know any fixes?

    My messaging app crashes 5+ times each day, or causes my phone to lag until I restart it. Is anyone else still having these problems, even after the update?

    the vz messaging app is garbage.Thats probably why no tech support people have replied to your question yet. I had similar issues & decided to disable it. May i suggest you download 'textra' or even hangouts?

  • Lumia 1520 Battery Discharge Issue After Updating ...

    After updating to Denim, my Nokia Lumia 1520 started to experience the following symptoms:
    Phone charges to 100%, I disconnect and use an app like Instagram BETA, Internet Explorer, Lumia Camera, or any game--after no more than 5 minutes of use, the phone gives a "Critical Low Battery" alert and shuts down. If I try to restart phone immediately, it makes it to the AT&T splash screen or lockscreen and then same battery message appears and shuts down. If I wait 10-15 minutes after the shutdown to restart phone (without recharging) the phone will stay on, but battery level will report to be in the low 20s or 10s (whereas no more than 20 minutes ago, it was 100%).
    When phone is at 100% battery: I take 2-5 photos or record mere seconds of video and I get the same "Critical Low Battery" alert. Upon restarting, some of the photos or video are nonexistent or corrupt files and battery level is reported at 2-5%.
    However, if my phone is plugged in to charger, none of these "Critical Low Battery" alerts come up and I am able to use phone as usual. Considering that I cannot take a vacation and capture nature's beauty with an AC adapter always connected, this is a serious drawback.
    Steps I've Taken:
    Soft-reset
    Full factory-reset
    Moved all apps off microSD card (this improved situation maybe 5%)
    Disabled almost all background app use in Battery Saver
    Replaced microSD card when I thought this was a memory write/read issue
    Installed "Battery" app to monitor battery use. After 750 data points were logged, my average battery life is reported at "16 minutes," which sounds about right.
    My warranty should be expired since I purchased the phone December 2013, so I'm checking in here if anybody has had any luck with battery replacements or with a solution to this issue? At the same time, this issue arose strictly after updating to Denim and I've seen other users report this EXACT scenario. Is there any hope for Lumia 1520 users on this?

    Anyone having battery issues on iphone4 after using Garmin 2.0 for a while?

    Hi mate. I'm afraid I haven't got a solution, but just wanted to say that I am having the exact same problem in my Lexus. I have an iPhone 5 which was paired and working perfectly while running iOS 6 and then iOS 6.0.1. But I was having all sorts of wifi problems (this is my second iPhone 5 as Apple replaced the first one but I've still got the same wifi issues!) so I had hoped 6.0.2 would fix these bugs. But - as you've found too - it's broken by Bluetooth connection to my car!
    I too had tried the same things as you : deleting the profiles etc. but it just won't pair!
    If anyone has a solution please help!!

    I am having sporadic issues after new hard drive install and recovery using Time Machine. The same sluggish response, start up screen pixelating...If I reinstall Lion will it wipe out other applications? My HD was formatted and partitioned correctly, I have a late 2009 iMac.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Safari, App Store Issues after updating to 10.7.2

    I have been running my imac that came preinstalled with Lion
    I am having this wierd issue after updating to 10.7.2 recently
    When i run Safari, App Store, Itunes, i can see its loading..
    but after 2 hours its still loading.
    It just seems to be stuck and its not the Beach ball.. So i dont think it hanged
    Its not a network issue as well, since i am typing this on Firefox, which is running perfectly
    What could be the reason?

    I'm having the same issue on my iMac. I've also noticed the rear of the left side is getting a lot hotter than normal.
    I downloaded (from: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1459) the update again and reinstalled it. But nothing's changed. Is there anything else I can try?

  • Syncing issues after updating to 10.3.1.55

    After upgrading to itunes 10.3.1.55, today, it no longer recognizes my iPhone 4. I plug it in, the iPhone makes its normal syncing noice. I get a prompt, like always about it recognizing the camera and how i want to handle it. I cancel it, as usual, and then it never shows up in iTunes. I close itunes, connect my phone and it does not start itunes as it normally should. No error messages, just no response. Can anyone help with ideas?

    I had the same issue, after updating to 10.3.1.55 it would error out saying something along the lines of not being able to read the catalog or something.  I think the error even states do a restore to fix it.  Last night that is what I did, clicked restore and then had it transfer all my items back.  I'm glad I had just synced my phone prior to the update so the restore was really current.
