I wanted to calibrate the battery my new macbook pro turns off

You should perform this procedure when you first use your computer? is this true? new macbook pro on may 11 2010 what happed was today on may 22 2010 i wanted to calibrate the battery my new macbook pro turns off when it runs out of battery. 3 times Typically, when macs run out of battery, they go into sleep mode. However mine skips this completely and just turns off. WHY? does this mean the battery is bad?
Resetting the PRAM (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html) fixed the problem in my case. then i did the calibrate the battery again this time it went to sleep not shut down i did this 3 more times why?
the 3 forced shut downs without entering SafeSleep. with logs indicating improper shutdown, will that cause severe corruption to the os and do i have to reinstall the os now?2.66 ghz 2010

the 9 more 4 in 10.6.4 forced shut downs without entering SafeSleep. with logs indicating improper shutdown, will that cause severe corruption to the os and do i have to reinstall the os now?2.66 ghz 2010 but if it happens again you should try
i hate to do this reinstalling the OS, if this do not work also, then you should call apple, or take your MBP to an apple store. on june 24 2010 i am going to talk to spence about this. so what do i do now? this happed on june 16 2010 4 more times
without entering SafeSleep. only one time it worked on 10.6.4

  • I want to change the battery on my macbook pro 13" by myself

    Replacing a battery takes 5mn, even on an early 2011 macbook pro.
    I need my computer everyday and don't want to send it to apple
    for a simple battery replacement.
    Do I have to throw it and buy a laptop pc or
    will apple sell a battery(A 1322) for our macbooks pro at last?

    I already opened my macbook and took off the battery to see what was happening. It's not a major problem for me since I work as an electronician.
    I won't take the risk of buying a battery anywhere else than apple store or ifixit sites. I prefer living my macbook pro without any battery than using a cheap one.
    The main problem is i bought it to carry it wherever i may go.
    If i can not get a battery from one of thiese sites,  I guess i will
    have to buy a laptop that will not be an apple laptop so i can
    fix it by myself if a problem occurs.
    Thank you anyway for you reply.

  • The battery for my macbook pro 13 says "service battery".  Now I want to get a replacement but the reviews for it are horrible! Does anybody have any suggestions?

    The battery for my macbook pro 13 says "service battery".  Now I want to get a replacement but the reviews for it are horrible! Does anybody have any suggestions? I don't want to spend 130 dollars on something I'm going to have to replace in less than a year (which is what normally I been reading)  I do design work and I take my mac everywhere.  Having to always look for a plug or having to be constantly plugged in doesn't sound ideal to me.  Please help me. what should I do???

    Why does it matter if it a scam????? I'll let you figure that out by yourself.  If I'm going to replace it, why should I be contempt with a battery that I have to replace within months (as stated by some people in the comments). The issue here is not if I should or not replace it OBVIOUSLY I'm going to have to before it starts going crazy.  The underlying issue is why is the replacement battery for a lack of better words " a bit crap."  It comes with a 3 month guarantee?? Is that a joke?!??!?! Some people complained it malfunction after only 8- 9 months? I'm sorry but as an Apple fan I think it's absolutely rubbish. I know there is no magic cure I'm just hoping someone shines the light on how crappy this replacement is.

  • As far as i know, the battery in my macbook pro is supposed to last 1000 cycles.  it's gone throught 700 in 1.7 years. i have apple care.  is a new battery covered under applecare???

    Basically only for the first year and only if Apple deems it defective. It is seen as a consumable item and not covered under Applecare.

  • Should I calibrate the battery in my MacBook Air?

    You don't have to but it's highly recommended for optimizing the performance, please read Apple's Battery Calibration article.

  • Is it possible to virtually bypass the battery on a macbook pro (retina 2014) and power the mac directly via AC power?

    Is it possible to virtually bypass the battery on a macbook pro (retina 2014) and power the mac directly via AC power?
    E.g. Dell allows you to plug the laptop into AC power but prevent battery charging.
    Note: I do not want to physically remove the battery.
    If there isn't an option on Mac OS, is there anything I can download to bypass the battery when I want?

    Thanks for linking me! Wow I had no idea the clock speed would be cut so severely! What a bunch of rubbish, as if the AC won't provide enough power!
    I guess the only solution to my question would be an app which virtually disconnects the battery but tricks the mac into thinking the battery is still connected. I'm just surprised Apple haven't yet started to build prisons for the government - considering how well they lock up their software and hardware!

  • How do i know if I need to replace the battery in my MacBook Pro?

    How do i know if I need to replace the battery in my MacBook Pro?

    There are a few ways (none of which are covered in the above link). On more recent OS X versions, when you click the battery icon in the menu bar you may see a "Service Battery" or "Replace Now" message. If you aren't seeing that, the system probably thinks the battery is fine.
    Also, in your System Information utility, there is a Power section that provides Health information for the battery, with a Condition status and Cycle Count. If the Condition is Normal and your battery is under 300 cycles (for removable batteries) or 1000 cycles (for non-removable batteries) it is not time to replace it yet.
    But of course, the other time to replace it is if you don't think you're getting the runtime you want out of it.
    If none of those is a problem, don't worry about it.

  • The battery for my Macbook Pro 13 "has only 121 cycles and is not charging anymore, my Mac is telling me that it is necessary to exchange it. You have any tips for me to find out what might be happening with my battery?

    Guys, i am actually trying using a solution provided by the article shared by dominic23,
    It says "Another option is to get an ionizer to help the atmosphere in the workplace be more conductive and pull charges away from contact surfaces, including yourself."
    So in my home, we have such device that could clean the air using ion, and i am using it in my room...
    Result: BANG!!! The electric shock on my macbook has gone!! I don't really care about physics but somehow it works! You guys should give it a try.
    Thanks again dominic23

    Yes that is your best bet.  Without looking at it too closely double check your options here:

    I have an iPhone 5 and lately the battery won't last, it turns off at 20%, what could it be? I have to recharge 3 times per day

    I heard from an apple specilist once that it is good to let your iPhone die atleast once a month. My iPhone 5 battery lasts all day if I charge it before I go to bed. Try not using your iPhone when it is charging. If you don't notice a difference soon, consult with the apple store

  • The battery in my MacBook Pro 17 requesting assistance only after 277 cycles with a capacity of 9444 mAh

    the battery in my MacBook Pro 17 requesting assistance only after 277 cycles with a capacity of 9444 mAh, Is it possible?I performed the calibration, but nothing changes.
    MacBook Pro (17 pollici, Half 2010)
    MacBookPro6,1
    Intel Core i5
    2,53 GHz
    Memory 4 GB

    Batteries will vary in how long they last. Apple will say that for machines built in the last 4 years that the battery may last up to 5 years approximately. However this depends on usage.
    You can have someone who never ever uses the battery and only ever runs the computer from the mains and the battery will fail as it never gets used and the cycle count will be very low.
    To put things in perspective. I have a 15" Macbook Pro with Retina Display (Late 2013). I've had it for probably 8 months and I have 128 cycles on my battery, approx. half yours in a quarter of the time. So if you're not always use the battery it can be affected in other ways.
    You can try to see if calibrating the battery helps. Look at http://apple.com/batteries for information on how to do this or try an SMC Reset and see if these make a difference. If not, then seek support from an Apple Store or Authorised service provider.
    Hope this makes sense.
