Installed new battery. Not working right?!?!

I bought a battery from battery plus for my Macbook Pro 13" Early 2011. I installed it and it wouldn't turn on. So I figured it just wasn't charged, I plugged in the charger and it turned on. Great!! Not really. I noticed the battery symbol in the status bar has a "X" in it and when I unplug the charger the mac shuts off. Don't know why, so I'm here for help.

I would be concerned that the battery is NOT an Apple approved battery, and that is why it is not functioning properly. You should take the computer to an Apple Retail store, have the genius look at it, and possibly try the proper battery.
Good Luck.

New Battery not working

I have a Toshiba Satellite L755-S5244 with windows 7 reinstalled from the disk on it, I have had 3 batteries sent from laptopbatteryhq to me and when I plug them in, the computer does not want to turn on with or without the AC power adapter.
The new battery fits the terminals and is the correct voltage.
Is there any special driver or something I need to have to make this work?

Satellite L755-S5244 (PSK1WU-05L004)
There's more to it than voltage and fit.
The spec above calls for a PA3818U-1BRS 6-cell battery..
If you go to Toshiba's battery finder and plug in part number PSK1WU-05L004, you get the same result.
There's also a 12-cell battery.

"Automatically install new apps" not working

I've got "Automatically install new apps" checked on my ipod touch 4g, but it hardly ever does what it says. For example, I just downloaded three new apps to my computer and then did a Sync operation on ipod none of the new apps showed up. On the App List, they each showed the button as Install. When I pressed the Install button on the App List for each of the affected apps, they then installed on the next Sync.
Just to keep me guessing, new apps WILL occasionally install correctly, but I've never figured out what magic circumstance triggered the proper behavior.
Ideas?

did you upgrade to 1.1.3 BEFORE you purchased the new apps? You must upgrade first b/c the apps are in the free upgrade.. all you are purchasing is an unlock type of file to open the new apps... what u need to do is probably reset your ipod to factory now, and then update it... then sync last.. that should get them working... you don't have to repurchase them again

IPod replacement battery not working right

I think I know the answer to this, but I would like your guys' opinion
I have a 60 GB iPod classic that went completely dead the other day. Nothing would get anything to come up on the screen at all. I figured it was a dead battery. I ordered a replacement and got it installed with little hassle. I plugged it into the wall outlet brick and let it charge overnight. It looked like it was charging, and when it was plugged into the wall, I was able to browse through the songs, etc. Joy ensued.
When I disconnected it from the wall outlet, the screen went completely black again. I tried plugging it into my computer, and I get the dead battery icon followed by a message saying "Please wait. Very Low Battery" and the spinning wheel below that. It also does not show up on my desktop or ini iTunes. If I plug it into my ipod adapter in my car (where it usually resides) It will play.
So it seems it is taking power again, which is a step up from before, but it is not charging. I'm getting the feeling that the battery I got was a dud. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

"Incidentally, you have a 5th Generation iPod, not an iPod Classic."
Sorry - you are right. I completely missed seeing the listing for 5th Gen.
I have tried connecting it to my computer. Do you mean restore it as in through iTunes? If so, it does not show up in iTunes or on my desktop. I have tried to reset it to no avail.

N82 new battery not working as expected

Hi
I bought a new N82 BP-6MT battery. Now I see when the battery drops 1 bar from full, it skips through all the other bars and goes to only 1 bar remaining! This happens especially when I use a power hungry application, like games or GPS navigation.
Is there something I can do about it? Is the battery faulty?

Make sure you have a look at our Pool of Knowledge article regarding that subject:

Battery not working right (macbook early 2008 white)

often, my battery shows an x in the middle, and then my computer goes to sleep, and i have to click a lot to turn it back on. anyone know how to fix this?

The Apple KB on this is here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1457
If none of that helps, it may be a problem with the battery itself.

Safari 5.1.2 Not working right after install

Hi, after installing the update for Snow Leopard safari is not working right. Some pages don't load, and other don't load correctly.
I have to keep hitting refresh two or three times. Also thunbnails are not displaying. Even the apple page comes up looking buggy.
Please help!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, monitor, and Ethernet, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in as yourself. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all, perhaps including wireless networking on certain Macs. If you usually connect to the Internet via WiFi, and it doesn’t work in safe mode, connect using an Ethernet cable. If you can’t do that, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and perform a safe login, as follows: Enter your credentials at the login screen, then hold down the shift key and click the “Log in” button. Keep holding the key until the menu bar appears. In this mode, your login items, among other things, won’t load.
In safe mode, test again. Same problem(s) now?
After testing, reboot (if you booted in safe mode) or log out/log in (if you performed a safe login) as usual.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.

Well I found nothing wrong in your post. So why even make a statement like the quote I included?
Once more I am a retired government employee. So I have the time to post. Or has my rights been taken away to voice an opinion?
Your posts was great you were not whining about your rights to file complaints to the FCC or FTC etc. One of the best I have read.
And I am not trying to sway you from your phone choice. If you looked at my avitar it shows apple iphones. But I use and have used androids and not Windows phones.
However your numbers of windows phone users all leaving over the issue is miniscule in the number of users of Android and iOS devices.
I have written many times I wish all the devices get updated like iOS devices do. But at present that is not happening
No bashing, no adversarial post just a little common sense is all I use.
And again your post was great.
Good Luck

Remote not working right

I've had my FIOS about 2 months, put new batteries in remote and it is still not working right. Some things work fine. Other things stopped working - can't delete a DVR show, can't change channels with one digit, but it will if I add all 4 digits, info box on bottom of screen never disappears (unless I hit exit). What's wrong?
My second TV set-up is OK.
Solved!

Might not even be a remote issue. Have you tried rebooting the box?
If you do think it's the remote it's still under warranty.
You can get a free replacement easy within the dvr's menu.
Here is a page that tells you ways to get a replacement.

Get a new remote and if you still have the same issues then you'll know its the dvr that needs to be replaced.

TS3212 I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install. Does not work. same message. What is a solution?

I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install. Does not work. same message. What is a solution?

Is that an error 2 message?
If so, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

It's the Quick Selection Tool in Photoshop Elements 9 and I'm trying to get the background and make it another layer so I can even out the color of the background then bring down the transparency. Not sure if that makes sense. I'm new to this.... Sometimes the area it will grab can go ...not fast.. but not slow. Sometimes it's like it's just messed up and literally takes 30 seconds to process each move. I rebooted my computer and re opened it and it helped a little. It's not clear what causes it when it messes up and when it doesn't. Just frustrating. It's probably user error because I'm so new at Photoshop. Thanks for your input. I really appreciate it.

Scroll-bar STILL not working right in 10.6.1 update

The scroll-bar is STILL NOT working right in the 10.6.1 update. I am not able to click anywhere on the scroll-bar and have the navigation go there. I have to drag the blamed thing where ever I want it to go. This problem only exist with the recent iTunes 10.6.x updates.

I have the new MacBook Pro 2010, Dell 3007WFP. No mirroring problemsat that or higher res. I was chagrined, however, to find out that while my 2007 15" MacBook Pro had no problems driving the Dell 30", the 2010 17" requires the Dual Link cable for $100 extra. ;>(
But it works fine.

LR2 to PS CS3 roundtrip not working right

I am sorry, but from where I am standing Adobe screwed up big.
In the first place, LR 2 is very slow on my MACPRO with 4 gigs, as slow as Aperture 1.5 was and was what made me switch from Aperture to Lightroom.
In the second place, PS roundtrip is not working right. LR2 sends the image to PS when I select edit in, but after I finish with the file in PS and close and save, the new file does not show up in LR 2. It is in the folder but not in the catalog. I either have to re-import the image or sync the folder. On either case, it is not stacked with the original.
What's up??
Is there a setting or something? or just a big screw up from Adobe? Why isn't Adobe addressing this issues in public?

I am having the same problem with lr2. Mine will not round trip. It goes to CS3 but will not come back when saved in CS3. Strange thing is, after having LR2 since day one of release it did round trip a few times yesterday but today it is back to its habit of no round trip.
At times LR2 is slow and the brush tool is mostly unusable since it is so slow. Also sliders are very sticky.
If the Adobe boys and girls can get it working soon LR2 is great and I feel it has increased my quality.
