Is there something wrong with my battery? (have battery charge info)

Have had my Macbook Pro for a year and a half now, and thought I was having over-heating problems a few months ago but they said it was "normal." But lately I have been noticing that with a full charge the battery will only last (on average) 1.5-2.5 hours (not video, just school work internet browsing and typing documents), and that's not as good as it was when I originally bought it...in fact, much worse (as I know batterys diminish over time).
Here is the battery info: (from coconutBattery)
Current Battery Charge: 3900 mAh
Maximum Battery Charge: 4187 mAh
Current Battery Capacity: 4187 mAh
Original Battery Capacity: 5500 mAh
Battery-Loadcycles: 339
Age of your Mac: 17 Months
So the max battery charge has dropped from 5500 mAh to nearly 4000 mAh in just over 300 loadcycles? That seems a little more than "average"...and it just feels that the battery is draining quite quickly.
I have Applecare extended warranty, will this be covered based on the battery statistics info? Or am I just over-reacting?

The battery in your specific machine should generally hold its full charge up to about 300 cycles depending on use... then it will drop down to roughly 80% and gradually decline. Going from a capacity of 5500 mAh to 4187 mAh is a drop of about 24% (or about 76% of the original capacity). These numbers aren't really out of wack for normal battery wear. Some people will experience slightly worse... others slightly better... but I don't see an issue considering the age and cycle count on your battery.

Is there something wrong with my battery?

Hi everyone! I have an Iphone 5 that was newly "remodeled" for tmobile. I was wondering if there was something wrong with my battery after a recent decline in performance. I am updated to the latest iOS and I recently restored all of my settings on my phone in an attempt to increase battery performance, leaving only wifi on location for weather. With my current usage and standby, do I have something to be concerned about? I know some individuals that have my usage and will have a standby time of over a day. Advice and opinions is very much appreciated.

Usage and Standby the same means that there is an app on your phone that is running continuously. Usually its an app choking on bad data, or trying to send and failing. There are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
Mail is a common culprit, especially if you have a Microsoft Exchange email account. If you do, go to Settings/mail,contacts,calendar, tap on the Exchange account, and turn off the switches. Then back out of settings and restart the phone (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears). Then turn the switches back on. This clears the mail, contacts and calender queues. It will take a while to resync content, so don't check battery condition until the resync is finished. And its best to do this with a WiFi connection as a lot of data may go by.
If that doesn't fix it do the same with your iCloud account, and any other Push accounts you may have (Yahoo, gmail, hotmail, AOL).
Next, look for apps that run in background (most of the apps in the Quick Launch ribbon do not run in background, but a few do - music and video streaming apps, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo Messenger, Whatsapp, etc). Kill them in the quick launch ribbon by pressing HOME twice to display it, then hold your finger on any app until they all wriggle, then tap the "-" on each one. It won't do any harm to kill them all.
Note that if you have Google Maps installed and you asked it for directions it won't stop tracking you until you actually kill it in the Quick Launch ribbon.
good luck and report back!
BTW, you will see a lot of posts blaming some specific version, now 6.1.4 (because it's the newest). But you will see just as many reports for 6.1.3, 6.1.2, ...5.1,...4.1...3.0, etc. It's nothing wrong with the version (except for 2.1, which had a real bug), it seems to be caused for some people by the upgrade process itself. But there are also many people who encounter this symptom far away in time from any upgrade.

Did you purchase the Mac new?
You have 14 calendar days from the time your items are delivered to initiate a return as noted here.
Even though you are past the 14 day limit, if it were me, I'd take the Mac back and explain what's going on. Your Mac should work out of the box.

Is there something wrong with my ps4 or am i just being paranoid?

I noticed that when i try to play some games textures take a while to load. It's especially noticeable in Battlefield 4, when a map loads and i spawn i have to wait like 30 seconds or more for the textures to load. I wouldn't care too much about it but it always took way less time. I think i also noticed it in Witcher 3, some textures just take a really long time to load especially in Novigrad. In Batman Arkham Knight i can notice it too on some street signs and ground textures when i'm flying around. Is there something wrong with my ps4 or am i just being really paranoid?

Are you using the Supplied iPad Charger and Cable...
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset

Try Each one in turn and if you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...

Is there something wrong with my iPod?

When I want to sync music on my iPod I need to let the battery die before I can do it otherwise it crashes and now on two occasions my iPod wouldn't turn on but when I put my earphones in I could hear a faint fuzzing noise. My battery wasn't dead because I'd just charged it up the night before and was fully charged. I have to let my battery die again so I can turn it on. And also a couple of times it crashes after I eject it from syncing music. Is there something wrong with my iPod or can it be fixed.

Sounds like there is something wrong, get it serviced.

Is there something wrong with this table row definition?

I have am supporting a coldfusion app that manipulates several forms. One one particular page, there is a form that consists of several tables. The last 3 lines of the last table are
    <tr>
            <td height="35" align="right" valign="middle">Description:</td>
            <td align="left" valign="middle"><input name="tmpPurpose" class="RptStd" size="70" maxlength="100" value="" onblur="document.ExpnDtl.Purpose.value = this.value;" onchange="ChkName(<cfoutput>#Session.CCWarn#</cfoutput>)" /><input type="hidden" name="Purpose" value="" />
                        <a href="#" id="aDesc" onclick="ShowHelp('9')" style="border:none; display:inline; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px"><img src="/images/Help_Icon.gif" height="14" width="13" border="0" /></a>
                        </td>
      </tr>
      <cfif IsDefined("form.ExpnsCntrb")>
          <tr id="CntrbErr">
               <td colspan="2" class="Error"><cfoutput>#form.ExpnsCntrb#</cfoutput></td>
          </tr>
      </cfif>
      <tr id="expnContrib">
              <td align="left" valign="middle" height="35" class="RptStd" colspan="2">Is expenditure a contribution to a candidate, officeholder, or political committee?    <input type="radio" name="rdoCntrb" value="Y" /> Yes    <input type="radio" name="rdoCntrb" value="N" /> No</td>
       </tr>
      <tr id="COHInfo">
          <td colspan="2" class="RptStd" align="left" valign="middle" height="35">
              <input type="checkbox" name="chkCand" id="chkCand" value="X" onclick="if (this.checked) document.ExpnDtl.btnCOH.disabled = false; else document.ExpnDtl.btnCOH.disabled = true;" />Direct expenditure to benefit a candidate or officeholder
              <input type="button" name="btnCOH" value=" Enter C/OH Information " class="RptBtn" onclick="window.open('/Testing/Test_COHBenefit.cfm?Parent=' + document.ExpnDtl.ItemID.value + '&Type=EXPN&Form=' + document.ExpnDtl.ExpnCode.value, 'CandidateInfo', 'width=730px,height=475px,scrollbars,resizable,location')" disabled /> <a href="#" id="aDirExpn" onclick="ShowHelp('11')" style="border:none; display:inline; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px"><img src="/images/Help_Icon.gif" height="14" width="13" border="0" /></a>
          </td>
     </tr>
     </table>
Now whne the form is displayed on my page, I always see the line of text Description and the line of text Direct expenditure to benefit a candidate or officholder (in bold above). But I never see the line of text Is expenditure a contribution to a candidate... (in italics above).   It seems so simple but I can't figure out why that line does not display!! Is there something wrong with that tr/td definition?

Have you tried removing the ID? Just to see if some CSS might be using that ID with a display:none or visibility:none statement?

Is there something wrong with a Oscar Gomez Fuentes 2Channel oscilloscope

Is there something wrong with a Oscar Gomez Fuentes 2Channel oscilloscope or are my devices configured wrong. I have DAQCard-6036E and SCC-2345 with SCC-Ft01 and SCC-A10 modules. The problem is that when I am measuring with A10 it effects to FT01's RMS and DC values. But when I am measuring with Ft01 everything is ok. So what's wrong?? I attached a picture of a front panel.

Neuvos,
Do any of the signals you are measuring have high output impedances (> 1 kOhm)? If so, you may be seeing cross-talk (or ghosting). Below, I have included links to a number of documents that discuss this issue and methods for eliminating it:

Good luck with your application.

Is there something wrong with my BT Vision.

Is there something wrong with my BT Vision.
It lists loads of programmes, but when I click them there are only a few episodes available.
For example, I search for "Regular Show" using the Blue button and since I've had BT Vision (for a couple of months), only the same two episodes have ever appeared.

Hi McKenzieM,
Welcome to the forum.
I checked "Regular Show" and it looks like episodes 29 and 30 are currently available. I have sent this off to double-check this.
Can you give me examples of what other programs are showing a few episodes so I can look into it?
Thanks,
Stephanie

Merged clips - are they all bugs or is there something wrong with my system?

I have to use merged clips to sync video and audio because making every clip a sequence is too cumbersome and doesn't give me thumbnails to help choose my shots. Apparently, merged clips are very buggy. I can't use colored markers because they don't get saved on merged clips. I can't use match frame on merged clips because they don't find the correct frame. I can't set a poster frame on a merged clip except with the "in" marker. Are all those problems bugs, or is there something wrong with my specific system. I trashed preferences to fix another problem unrelated to merged clips, but that didn't solve any of the clip problems.

I don't believe there's anything wrong with your system.

Hi. Whenever I go through one of the menus in firefox, the links remain highlighted after my mouse passes over them. Is there a bug fix for this or is there something wrong with my computer? I am running windows 7 if that helps.

Hi. Whenever I go through one of the menus in firefox, the links remain highlighted after my mouse passes over them. Is there a bug fix for this or is there something wrong with my computer? I am running windows 7 if that helps. This problem started ever since I upgraded to version 5.

I have downloaded and used the iPod Reset Utility, alot that did. My current state is iTunes on my XP Home with SP3 sees the iPod. When I drag a song to the iPod, the Sync message appears for about 5 minutes, then the Apple symbol appears. But no song has been transferred to the iPod.
I tried to tap into the XP iTunes database from my iBook, but although it acted like it would add the XP library to the iBook library, it did not. I've got 19 Gs of songs on the XP. If I have to load each song from its original CD to get it on my iBook I'm going to start looking for some other app or device so that I can listen to my music.
It is a shame, in the old days, Apple techs use to look at what was going on, now it appears they don't, so they never know they have problems until Apple's profits fall.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Try right next to the router
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Could it be this?
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

It looks like the app is not currently in the App Store, I can't find it in the UK nor US stores.
If you had previously downloaded it then do you have a copy on your computer's iTunes so that you can sync it to your iPad ?

Is there something wrong with Quicktime and TIFFs?

I've been trying to see with Firefox the TIFF images of patents at the USPTO site and I can't. The browser advises me to install the missing plug-in although Quicktime is already installed. I wonder if it's a Quicktime problem or a Firefox one. I have a reason to believe there's something wrong with Quicktime though. Read on to see why.
On my system the *TIFF Image Test* (from mozdev.org) fails although I have the latest Quicktime plug-in. This happens regardless of the browser I use, all latest editions: Firefox 3.6, Internet Explorer 8 (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions) and Chrome 4. All seem to fail to recognize the presence of the installed Quicktime although my Windows OS is set to open TIF/TIFF files with Quicktime/PictureViewer.
Running about:plugins on my Firefox does show the Quicktime plug-in for a variety of files but NOT for opening embedded TIF/TIFFs. Also, when I open *Tools -> Options -> Applications* I see there is no registered handler for TIF/TIFFs. They don't appear on the known Content Types.
Is there something wrong with the installation of Quicktime? I can see USPTO TIFF images only with Safari which appears to have an integrated TIFF viewer. I haven't tried to install alternatiff or any other alternative TIFF handler.

DocBAZ,
I tried to visit the "test site" above. I'm not really sure it's an embedded image on a HTML page because I get a Firefox download window and a suggestion to open it with PictureViewer, which is the expected behavior for downloadable images. The mozdev.org test page on the other hand had an embedded image that needed the plugin, which is what is bugging me.
If you want a real complex test page with both an embedded TIFF and a downloadable one check AlternaTIFF here: http://www.alternatiff.com/testpage.html
Indeed the changes I made were in the QuickTime preferences, not PictureViewer which has no settings to change. And yes, Windows 7 has a unique place to deal with file types and MIME settings.
You will find some interesting suggestions over the problem at SuperUser.
