Is it normal that after the battery says charged and i remove the cable, the percentage is 96% not 100% is that normal?, is it normal that after the battery says charged and i remove the cable, the percentage is 96% not 100% is that normal?

please help i just bought it

Let me repeat what Sig said in different words.
When you fully charge your battery, your MBP will say 100% and the light on the charger will turn from amber to green.
With the charger still connected, as you use your MBP, the charge level will decline from 100% to 95% and the light on the charger will be green. It is no longer charging the battery but is providing power to the MBP while you are using it.
When the charge level falls below 95%, the charger will the start charging the battery as well as providing power while you are using the MBP. The light on the charger will turn amber.
When it reaches 100%, then the cycle will repeat.
Also you might read this about your MBP battery:

X120e 0596 screen wont wake up after sleep mode until unplug it and remove the battery

I recently purchased a Thinkpad X120e (0596) and am genneraly very happy with it however when it goes to sleep the screen does not wake up when the laptop does. when i wake it up i hear the fan spin up but the the screen remans powered off. ive tried waiting several minutes and it still doesnt wake up, ive also tried holding the power button for several (more than 5 ) seconds to force it to power off fully then start it again and the screen still doesnt wake up. the only way i can get it to work again is to make sure to unplug it and remove the battery for several seconds then i can get it to boot with the normaly expected complaints from windows after an abnormal shutdown.
I have the latest updates from lenovo and microsoft installed including the latest firmware. I like the laptop so i would rather report the problem and provide any information neccisary to find a resolution than have to return it. Ive seen this problem with other laptops before and know its probably a bug in the firmware thats not waking up the GPU is ther any tool i can use to provide the debuging info or any more direct way for me to report the bug I tried calling customer support and they told me they told me my only option was to return it and they could not report or record the issue.

Same issue here, confirmed many times in linux, will likely recur at some point now that I am on windows (8). The event log from the HAL says "The platform firmware has corrupted memory across the previous system power transition. Please check for updated firmware for your system" even after successful suspends, so who knows what happens when it fails. Since it's video-related, the problem could as well be in AMD's driver (also hinting at this is the fact the system periodically freezes when the screen is simply turned off from being idle).
Also worth noting is the fact suspend seemed to work just fine on my system with the factory BIOS (1.08), with the issue appearing only in newer ones (the oldest one still available for download is already affected, and I am running the latest one). There are also slight differences in the issue between the legacy and UEFI boot modes, but none of them mitigate it.

I tried downloading a CD (lots of my itunes music is from CDs) and it went as normal but when i downloaded it to my ipod it doesnt say the name of the artist. I've tried everything. It only did this after i downloaded the most recent itunes version

So a lot of my music in iTunes is CDs and recently I was trying to download another CD to it and everything went as normal until I downloaded it to my iPod. So I know that to get everything to match you have to change the names and stuff to get the album to match the iTunes version exactly so that everything will go smoothly and I did that but when I downloaded it to my iPod I saw that it didn't name the artist. Where it should say the artist it says "Unknown Artist". I thought that it was just that particular album but than I tried downloading another album and the same thing happened. I've tried everything. I've double checked to make sure the album matches the iTunes version and it still does it. Everything is fine on the iTunes on the computer. It says the artist and stuff but than on my iPod it doesn't. The album artwork, name of the album, and name of the songs are all there but the name of the artist isn't. It never did this before and it started right after I downloaded the latest version of iTunes so since it happened twice I think it may be a glitch with either my iPod or with iTunes but I thought maybe somebody could help me? I guess it's not important but it really bothers me. Especially since it could be avoided.

Yes i've tried all of that. I've turned it all the way on and off and erased all of my music and put it back on and nothing works. And with the breaking up CDs and putting into compilation categories i have already fixed all of that stuff. It's fine it just doesn't show up in the list of artists. I can find the album in the songs category and the albums category it's just it doesn't show tha name of the artist. All of the other albums that i downloaded before i updated my itunes to th most recent update are fine. It's just the two that i downloaded afterwards. Thanks for trying though.

I ordered the full creative cloud on sunday and received an order number but still can't open any of the programs. When i check the status of my order online, it says it can't find it. Is this normal after 3 days?

I ordered the full creative cloud on sunday and received an order number but still can't open any of the programs. When i check the status of my order online, it says it can't find it. Is this normal after 3 days? I tried asking in a chat window instead of the forum but no one answered and after about ten minutes my screen restarted and closed the chat window down. It seems a little frustrating not knowing what happened to my order and not being able to contact anyone. Is all this usual with Adobe or are they just having technical problems this week?

My iPhone 4S is hanging always after I charged it. (I normally drain the battery before I re-charged it.) Done turning off/on, resetting and all.

I have been using my iPhone 4S for 4 months already. At first it was working perfectly fine (though I have some complaints with the battery that drains so fast) until the phone is hanging up now. I noticed that after I fully charged the phone it hangs up. It's really acting so badly. When I make a call the other party is able to hear the ring from their end, while I can't even confirm that the call went thru. When you place the phone to your ear the phone goes black and when you bring it out you would be able to see the screen but now it's not doing like that anymore. If I end the call it doesn't say 'call ended' it will always appear as 'call ending' and I can't clear the screen I still need to turn it off then on for me to be able to clear the screen. I can't confirm if my sms was sent successfully because it would appear as if sending the message is still in process, but the recipient is able to receive it already then again I would need to turn off/on and I'll get an error: message sending failure. I don't have music or videos on the phone, it's just plainly simple, though I have a very few free apps that I seldom use. I seldom use the phone as well for browsing. When you call my mobile, callers are able to hear that it's ringing but there's nothing displayed on my screen. I don't think that is a carrier issue, because other subscribers doesn't have any complaint with the network. Sometimes for me to be able to use my phone again, I would ask somebody to call my number many times until the incoming call would register on the phone. Right now it's not doing that way anymore. I have done, resetting, restoring, turning off/on but to no avail. Please help.

Being impatient and SCREAMING at fellow users because no one has responded in 20 minutes is not only a bad way to get help, it is just plain dumb.
Do yourself a favor.. the next time you think about typing in all CAPS, slap yourself.
Then learn to use search, there are hundreds if not thousands of posts on battery issues.
If those do not help, take the device to Apple for evaluation, no product or company is perfect, it may simply be that your battery is defective.

I plug in my printer and I get a message that says, "the disk you inserted is not readable." It didn't do this before but after I installed a segate hardrive software. I have removed the segate hardrive software but the message still appears.

I plug in my printer and I get a message that says, "the disk you inserted is not readable." It didn't do this before but after I installed a segate hardrive software. I have removed the segate hardrive software but the message still appears. What can I do to remove this error.

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.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

My iPhone is about 6 months old now and I would say I don't use it that much. Yet for the last month or so the battery life has been going down and today after having charged it to 100% this morning, it was at 5% at 4 pm this aft. help!!

Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue: Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry. In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System) computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net. I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS. Its just the nature of the beast...
We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.....
Oh John.... Oh Marsha.....

What am i supposed to do when my mac says it's in the not charging state and says that the battery is holding a significantly lower charge than normal?

Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you are running 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion), then select Power from the left hand column of the System Profiler. Copy and paste the Battery Information from the top of the page back here.

After downloading osx 10.9.2 when i open my logic pro 9 and begin to audition loops that came with lp9 i get a message that says "audio device has been removed and then a second message the " select driver not found(-10202). my interface is a apogee duet

Can anyone provide a solution to this problem. Thanks

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!
I got it!!! Yes!!!
Guys, I've solved my problem about that error -10202 (Selected driver not found).
I have installed in my Mac Pro (OS X 10.5.8) a document with an extension ".rsrc" to correct the position of the accents in my keyboard, like acute accent, tilde and circumflex.
That file is called "U.S. - International.rsrc" and it's stored in the following path:
"Macintosh HD/Library/Keyboard Layouts"
So, when it's properly installed, I can choose 2 country flags on the right side of the menu bar (U.S. - International and Brazilian).
That's the clue!
When I pick up "U.S. - International", my keyboard works fine with the accents, >>>BUT<<< Logic Pro 9 doesn't recognize my audio driver; and when I pick up "Brazilian", my keyboard doesn't work with the accents exactly as it shows me on each key, BUT Logic Pro 9 DOES recognize my audio driver.
So, when I want to write anything out, I will pick up the "US - International" and when I want to work on the Logic Pro 9, I will pick up "Brazilian".
I hope I can help all of you.
Regards,
Renato Veiga.

After a notice of update, I was unable to use iTunes. It said I had a missing dll file and a Windows error 7. I removed iTunes and tried to reinstall. I selected the download items off the apple site. It says thank you but still not there.

Having problems downloading iTunes. After an update notice, I was unable to open iTunes. I de-installed and attempted to reinstall it and it still won't open.
The first error duirn the update was a dll file missing, then a Windows error 7. The screen on the Apple site say Thank you for downloading, but still not there.

A msi file is short for microsoft installer. It normally is for installation, removal, and maintenance for a program. So iTunes.msi would be used for the updating of the program. For some reason it isnt finding this so we can't update, install, or remove it.
From what I have seen windows installer cleanup utility solved related problems before.
I found this forum about removing and installing a new iTunes. It was about someone who was trying to isntall iTunes, and was looking for msi file and asked for help. Using this should allow you to be able to install iTunes. It won't give you the msi file but will allow you to isntall iTunes over again.
This was what was said.
Another option in case you can't get an msi. (Or even if you can ... the msi's mentioned in the messages may be damaged rather than missing.)
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

My iPhone has suddenly stopped working. It now says the battery is dying and to charge it. After charging it for over an hour, there is no change. The power won't come on, and I am left with a blank screen advising me to plug my phone into the charger.

Try different USB Cable, try different Charger. Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. If still problem and you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, most likely it could be battery or charging port assembly that need replacement.

HT1657 Was watching a movie on my iPad2 and it just stopped, thought it was a low battery but even after charging itbto 100% the movie won't play anymore. It shows the movie chapters but says the movie content can't be played. Please advjise

Was watching a movie on my iPad2 and the movie stopped playing, I thought it was because of a low battery but even after charging the battery to 100% it still won't play. I can bring up the movie & all the chapters but when I press play it says movie content can not be played. Please advise. Thanks!

I am having almost the same problem, with the same OS, iTunes versions, and kids waiting to watch their favorite movie (Frozen). I am (trying) to play the content on the computer, and hooked up to Vizio TV and external stereo.
The video will display on the TV, but the audio will only play through the laptop. The movie will still play with both audio and video on the laptop.
In researching this morning, it seems that i need to purchase a new TV and stereo that are HDCP "compliant" (NOT just compatible). Folks are also complaining that the same "won't play" issues directly on Mac hardware.
I could not find any current software workarounds or patches (Apple seems silent on this as a "problem").
Upgrading hardware is insulting and (frankly) impossible. Why should I get new hardware that works perfectly well?
I was going to get an Apple TV for Christmas, although not if new products cannot be used with my current hardware. I would rather go back to all Microsoft hardware and software than constantly deal with troubleshooting Apple hardware and software.
I'm going to uninstall iTunes v 12 and reinstall v 11 to see if that works.
Please post if there is a solution!

Sometimes my iPad1 locks up and has the flat battery graphic after charging all night, but will not work until you disconnect the charger, then it reboots and the battery is fully charged and works normally

Sometimes my iPad1 locks up and has the flat battery graphic after charging all night, but will not work until you disconnect the charger, then it reboots and the battery is fully charged and works normally.
It has only happened for the last month or so
Also, sometimes it drops out of apps, ie facebook etc. just like you have hit the stop button

Who replaced the battery? If it wasn't Apple the replacement is probably bad also. Either that, or the logic board is bad.

I just bought a new macbook pro 13-inch. I ran coconut battery test and it says age of the macbook is 22 weeks. And the battery load cycles shows 4 and battery capacity is 96%. Is this all normal? Does anyone have same issues?

I just bought a new macbook pro 13-inch 6 days ago. I ran coconut battery test and it says age of the macbook is 22 weeks. It shows 4 battery load cycles and battery capacity is 96%. Is this all normal? Does anyone have same issues?

"Is this all normal?"
Yes.
"Does anyone have same issues?"
What issues?
Coconut indicates an approximate battery capacity, and 96% is excellent. During testing and run-in, the MBP is charged and discharged, and a cycle count of 4 is appropriate.

Says my brand new battery is charging but dosent change from 0%, after 10 mins the adapter changes to green and the battery dissapears from the mac.

Like the topic says, have an macbook pro 15 late 2008 works like a charm.
Have had a bad battery for over a year so today i bought a new one, plugged it in
and started my mac, said charging and stood on 0% for about 10 mins then the adapter
turned green and the battery didnt show up on my mac anymore, tried and SMC or whats
it called, same thing happened again
downloaded cocnut battery and there it just said when i was charging that the
battery was -1 amh?
isnt new battery supposed to be delieverd with 50% on them?
What can be the problem here? is it the AC adapter?
helpful for anytips, a very poor student so cant have it on a service

Hi iphone_warrior,
thanks for the reply and for your support. However, I did not understand why I as customer should go to the next Apple store nor why I should pay 29,- Euros for the replacement.
I give you an example. I have an HP printer. Was not working any more after 2 month. HP send me a new printer and took back the old without any charge.
Apple knows that it is a problem with the phone battery. Why the customer should pay for that. The customer has warranty, the customer paid the product. Apple has to care about the customer. It seems that Apple cares more about to increase its profit and leave the support its customers. Anyhow, if this the only way I have to invest the time and will go for the Apple store. I hope the buggy phone will be replaced by one which is working properly. Otherwise I will go for the offer from Samsung which won't be a good advertisement for Apple at all.
Best regards, Harun99
I wonder why this threat has been taken from the discussion forum. Is that the way Apple is working with the feedback from its customers. Very dissapointing.

Is it normal that after the battery says charged and i remove the cable, the percentage is 96% not 100% is that normal?, is it normal that after the battery says charged and i remove the cable, the percentage is 96% not 100% is that normal?
