Is it possible i am using duplicate charger for charging battery but battery life is very short 6 hours what's the problem

First, the battery. The recalled battery replacements have not held up well, and, unfortunately, feedback on the Apple site isn't what I would call complementary about their batteries. When I replaced mine, I got a Newer Technology battery from OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/BAP17AL60RS/ . Mine has 104 cycles on it and 4113 mAh capacity.
Now, charging. There are only 4 components in the charging circuit: Power adapter, DC-in card, battery and logic board. It sounds like your power adapter, being newer, is probably fine. Where the power adapter plugs into the computer, is that jack loose? If you put a pen or pencil on it and push it a little, gently, does it wiggle side-to-side? If so, your DC-in card may be bad. Assuming the battery stats are good and the battery is good, it should charge. Sooo, last but not least, is the logic board. Probably the best thing you can do is find a friend with a Powerbook or visit an Apple store or Apple authorized service provider to use another power supply that they know works (just to be sure) and a substitute battery (again, to be sure). If indeed yours are good, and I went through this a few months ago with one of our Powerbooks, you can replace the DC-in card, and if that doesn't work, then the logic board.
If you want Apple to do that, have them send it to the Apple depot, where they'll do whatever is required to put the Powerbook in close to new condition. Put an old, bad, Apple battery in it, so they'll replace it. Cost runs around $350 if the case isn't banged up, and if it is, the price can go up. When ours went in, they replaced the logic board and put a new battery in. Of course ensure your data is backed up, and if anything is really confidential, move it onto an encrypted disk on your hard drive or back it up and delete it.
If you have the store replace the logic board, it will run you more than double what they charge to send it to the depot.

  • Have been using 3.6 for a j d edwards programme new computer is w8 what is the best compatable d/load

    have been using 3.6 for a j d edwards programme new computer is w8 what is the best compatable d/load have loaded latest version however when jd Edwards loads when each section within jd Edwards is opened blue circle saying launching application but that is as far as I can get . Had this problem with xp but wasa ble to dload older version of fire fox but it appears that these olderr versions are no use with windows 8

    Windows 8 Professional supports virtual machines, so you could install Windows XP in a VM and then use that to host an older version of Firefox. This does not appear to be minor undertaking: [http://4sysops.com/archives/windows-8-xp-mode-part-1-hyper-v/ Windows 8 “XP Mode” – Part 1: Hyper-V - 4sysops].
    Can you run your JD Edwards app in IE10 in compatibility mode? If so, that's probably the simplest workaround. You still can use Firefox for other browsing.

    Try the remaining items of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1476 ever since I upgraded to ios 7, the battery life is very short and I do not use my ipad all that much.l have been on the phone to apple 3 times, turning off all kinds of things I so not use and have powered off more than before but it is still poor

    ever since I upgraded to ios 7, my battery life is very short. I do not use the ipad all that much and have to charge it twice as much as before. I have been on the phone to Apple 3 times and turned off a number of things that I am not using and now power it off more regularly but still not happy with battery life. It is less than a year old and as I said, I don' t use it all that much

    My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

  • The battery of my iPhone 5 easily discharges even if not in use. This started 11 months after purchase. The unit passed the Apple Battery Health Test Protocol but the performance showed otherwise. What is the problem and how do I solve it?

    The battery of my iPhone 5 easily discharges even when not in use. The unit was tested by Apple and passed the Battery Health Test although the performance showed otherwise. The battery deterioration started 11 months after purchase and is not covered by Apple warranty. What is the problem of the iPhone5 and would appreciate suggestions on how to address this problem. By the way, I have a 2 year old iphone 4S with a battery performance as good as when it was bought two years ago.

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • Why does Apple need to charge for feature updates, but Sony doesn't?

    Ok, so I know all about the subscription-based accounting reasons for why Apple has to charge a nominal fee for firmware updates that provide new features to the iPod touch (but not iPhone).
    I don't have a problem with this fee, and personally think its quite reasonable, and am happy to pay it.
    However, I'm curious as to why Apple has to charge for these updates, but Sony doesn't - and I've not been able to find a reason.
    Since the release of both Sony's PSP and PS3 video game consoles, Sony have frequently released firmware updates that add many minor and some very significant new features to both consoles, as Apple have done with the iPod touch.
    However, Sony has never charged for these new features. Does anyone really know why there's this difference?

    You better believe that any company doing business in the US has to follow US laws. You don't get to just say, oh well we have our headquarters in another country so we can do what we want in yours. Hehe I am pretty sure diplomatic immunity doesn't come with selling something in the US. The accounting reason is a sham. Apple knows that their customers are desperate for "coolness" and will sacrifice features and customer service and pay for that privelege.
    What really gets me is that I already bought the January update. The only thing 2.0 adds is the "priveledge" of paying Apple to buy applications. So of course I bought the 2.0 update because I am an idiot and now my audiobooks will not play. Will they support it no. I buy an update from them, it screws up my ipod and then I can't even call or email to get some help. Instead I have to travel an hour to the nearest Apple store. I recently bought my first iPod but after all the horrendous experiences I have had with their lack of support and idiotic "geniuses" at the genius bar, I will never buy another apple product. Which is too bad because they have the most elegant and fun to use interfaces. However, I would rather have something a bit less elegant but that I can get service on without a 3 hour time commitment on my part.

  • By default, on a mac keyboard F3 lets you see all the open apps and the such. However, I changed it so that I use those keys for keyboard shortcuts; But i'd like the normal F3 key to still work without me having to press FN.

    By default, on a mac keyboard F3 lets you see all the open apps and the such. However, I changed it so that I use those keys for keyboard shortcuts; But i'd like the normal F3 key to still work without me having to press FN.

    rajlego,
    in the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, select the Shortcuts tab, and then select Mission Control on the left-hand side. On the right-hand side, make sure that the Mission Control checkbox is checked, double-click on its current key combination (by default “^↑”) so that the key combination is highlighted, and then press the F3 button — that will set its shortcut to be F3. You can now press F3 to bring up Mission Control without needing to also press the Fn button.
