Losing Keychain, WiFi, clock, and last state on battery drain
Recently sent my MacBook Pro (MBP) into the shop to get a new shell put on it. When it was returned, it appears I no longer have Safe Sleep functionality.
Historically:
Prior to sending the MBP into the shop, if the battery ran low on power, I would receive the standard issue "plug-in to a power source" message. I would save my documents and continue to use the MBP unless, of course, power was readily available. If the battery drained to the point of entering "Safe Sleep" mode, the screen would immediately go black. When I finally plugged into a power source and hit the power button, the "restoring state" progress indicator would come on screen, and eventually I would be returned to the point I left off...consistent with:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/10328.html
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1757
*After New Shell:*
Since receiving the MBP back, if I let the battery drain to the point at which it should enter "Safe Sleep" mode, and plug in to a power source I lose the following:
1. State does not pick up where it left off. Essentially, the computer just shuts down - not enter safe sleep mode.
+After completing reboot (I have Mail, iCal, Safari, and iTunes launch automatically):+
1. Error message regarding clock, stating that the clock is incorrectly set and to correct: I have to open date & time preferences -> uncheck set date and time automatically -> set the correct time manually (as it seems to be set to the Unix time floor ca. 1969) -> save -> check set date and time automatically.
2. WiFi password lost: My home WiFi (AirPort Express) does not automatically sign in, I can either re-enter the password and have it save in Keychain again; or, if I can't remember the password, open keychain -> find the network -> display password -> enter admin password -> enter WiFi password into connection dialog - therefore, the password is still stored in keychain, just not being used.
3. Mail loses keychain passwords as well: When Mail launches it begins asking me for passwords to my email accounts (appears to be based on emails in my inbox) - after entering the passwords multiple times and check "remember password" every time -> force quit (or just quit if the password dialogs stop coming up) -> restart Mail.
4. Restart iCal and iTunes after connecting to WiFi.
5. Should be obvious, but want to make sure it is, any other applications I was using or documents I was editing are lost (no previous state information) - similar to shutting down completely (or hard reset).
Today when I tested the workflow again, I did receive the "battery maintenance" warning; however, that has since gone away.
Is this just me? Can anyone duplicate this problem?
Cheers,
Josh

Location services, Celular data, Usage and Stand by & fast battery drain on iOS 4.3.5
Hi all,
I've been experiencing some trouble with fast battery drain since I have updated to iOS 4.3.5, never experienced it before. I've spent some time reading out through the web, including the Apple Discussion forums, and never found anything conclusive that could lead me to a solution. With some hints from many places and some particular obstination for fixing the problem, I've managed to find a solution. I was willing to share this here just to see if anyone else had the same problem and try to figure out wheter this is a bug or just an ignorant user like me
This is the configuration and symptoms I had for my iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.3.5 (didn' happen until 4.3.4):
Location services enabled, with several apps been allowed to use it;
Celular data (and 3G) turned off;
Usage and Stand by times reported always equal since last charge (really weird, although other have already reported this);
Cell phone overheated;
Battery drain really fast, dropping from 100% to 50% in about four to five hours with almost no use at all.
The following steps solved my problem:
Close all applications to make sure nothing is running in the background;
Reset statistics in order to observe correctly the celular data traffic;
Make sure you have access to the internet over Wifi;
Turn on Celular data and 3G for a short time (2 minutes should be enough). Observe celular data exchange stats: for me it was 3Kb download and 2Kb uploaded, although no application was running in the background (and there was also no need for celular data, since I was connected over Wifi);
Turn off Celular data and 3G.
Turn off (completelly!) Location services;
No more overheating, usage and stand by being reported equal nor battery fast drain noticed: everything was back to normal.
I have come to the following conclusions: it seems that Location services causes problems with Celular data turned off. I'm not sure whether Location services should work at all with Celular data turned off, but I also believe it doesn't give it the right to drain my battery so fast . I'd like to here from others just to see if anyone has experienced a similar thing and if the solution above helped fixed it. It would be interest if we could confirm this is indeed a bug in iOS 4.3.5.
Best regards,
AdrianoSome further testing and observation lead me to new conclusions. I looks like the problem is not actually related to Location services, but to some buggy application trying to access data when it's not available at all. Even closing all apps, the problem doesn't go away untill Celular data is enabled (and then disabled again).
I still believe this shouldn't be the regular behaviour. -
Last State Received / Last State Change Date is Incorrect
Checking a report today I noticed the Last State Received and Last State Change dates are off for many of our clients. The report I'm looking at is the
Compliance 8 - Computers in a specific compliance state for an update (secondary)
The StateMessage.log on our clients show successful submissions to the MP. Statesys.log on SCCM looks healthy as does MPControl.log. Has anyone run into this before?
Orange County District AttorneyHi,
If you initiate Actions on clients, could this data get updated after a while?

Iphone 4 from sprint and battery drain issues
how many people out there bought a new iphone 4 from sprint and having the rapid battery drain issues? there is a big thread on the 4s but not as much on the 4 and im trying to decide if its best to just exchange it or try more fixes.
I have the same issue. I am with sprint. The battery goes down in 6 hours, mostly in standby and some emails. I can actualy see the battery meter going down every 30 sec when reading my mails. iCloud is disabled as also push notification. The phone gets also hot. This issue is completely stupid and remember, I had iPhones for the last 3 years. My last one was the 4. It is first time I have such a problem. My friends that have the 4S with AT&T do not have that problem. As a mater of fact, I compared today and mine goes down 50% faster. I will have to return it and switch to another provider.

BB 8830 - new and battery drains in less than 8 hrs
Just received a new 8830 and battery is draining in less than 8 hrs with no voice usage, only data. It appears as the BB is constantly sending and receiving data? I have done a soft and hard reset and do not have any programs other than the standard that come with the BB.
Thoughts?You may be experiencing a known issue, we also experienced. Basically what is occurring is when end users perform an email reconcile with BlackBerry Desktop Manager, it's changing the folder ID's to be 5 digits instead of 10. This in turn is causing the amount of OTAFM traffic that you are currently seeing, exhibited by constant network activity on the device and resulting in rapid battery drain. Have your support team contact RIM and refer to the SDR, and RIM will provided an agent to fix the problem. Alternately, the user's folder structure can be deleted on the BES state database, but before either solution is attempted, end users must turn off email reconcile from the device & Desktop Manager as this issue we reoccur if they do another sync. As I understand, SDR147879 is targeted to be resolved within BES version 4.1.5.

Hi, I had my iPhone 4S and I'm recently upgraded it from 7.0.5 to 7.0.6 and I found the battery drain up very fast if compare to iOS 7.0.5. Besides, I also unable to fully charger my phone to 100% now - max is 85% with phone either in airplane mode or switch off totally
May seek help from your advise on above case.
Thank you
Best regards,
AdrianTry killing the battery (Let it drain---turning on all the settings, playing a video, and having the brightness up kills it faster), then let it fully charge from there. Let me know if that works.

IOS7 Palattes: Why default to max brightness and battery drain?
After upgrading to iOS7 today my brightness slider was set to its maximum setting. I didn't think anything of it until I reduced it to 1/2 which is where I normally keep it to save on battery. I typically never have to change it even when outdoors. Today I received the surprise of a lifetime: It needs to be at near maximum just to see details like the call status bar. The WHITE text on the BRIGHT green bar is absolutely horrible and near impossible to read. I was hoping that I could change the color scheme of the status bar palettes but no luck. The best I could manage was to change the background wallpaper to a near black color that helped out only a tiny bit. What a waste of Retna display.
I can no longer use product this in an airplane cockpit for flight planning. I will have to abandon my planned purchase of an iPAD mini with Retna unless I can get iOS 6 on it
In the day light these new white screen backgrounds require loads more brightness to be able to see details and therefore causing unexpected battery drain not to mention creating a hazard of a night blindess (old scheme had dark backgrounds light text instead of other way around)..
Questions:
- How do we get rid of the white screens that require max brightness to see detail?
- How do we get customizable palattes? Customer knows better than Apple -- my eyesight can't handle white text and bright backgrounds for status bars.
- Will Apple see this as a priority one issue and give us CHOICES on the PALATTE schemes?Hello,
I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation.
I have had battery drain problem on the Ipod Touch 4th generation.
But, I found a solution that works for me:
Do the IOS update (the one that is the latest, or if you already did, then proceed to step 2)
Reset All Settings: SETTINGS>GENERAL>RESET>RESET ALL SETTINGS
Use it until it dies (automatically shuts off)
Plug into Charge
Leave it 1.5 hours or longer after it reaches 100% --> Undisturbed (preferably overnight)
Give it a few days to Calibrate
This has helped me on my Ipod Touch 4th generation, running IOS 6.0.1
The battery seems to give me 2 days 30 hours of standby, and 10 hours and 15 minutes of usage.
Thats pretty good! -
I was using my wifi last night when I got an error message stating my ip address had been taken over. Then safari stopped working and i can no longer access the internet. I looked at my ip address and it states 000.000.000....can someone please help?
Sounds like a bogus pop up. In any case power down your Mac, your modem, your router. Then power back up in 1 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

What is the max song limit for wifi media sync? Getting spinning clock and device acts locked up...
Okay,
So my device has been working fine for quite a while and I moved over OS6 when it was made available to the beta testing group about a month ago.
So I decided to try out the wifi media sync last night and it took Desktop Manager about an hour to even come up with the list of music. After I saw all my songs listed I synced over a few songs via USB to get the wireless sync portion all setup and make sure it was working.
After I unplugged my device from USB and let it do it's thing over wifi it started up with the spinning clock and became VERY unresponsive. Now everytime I start it up, it is somewhat workable for 1 minute or so and then the spinning clock comes back. (Even though I have shut off Wifi so it won't continue to attempt syncing) I actually let it sit and run overnight but the device had a 601 error when I woke up and it needed a reset. When it came back up it resumed with the spinning clock again.
I'm thinking it's the number of files I have in my library, about 45,000...
What's the most you've ever tried to use with media sync??? There is no provision inside the desktop manager as far as selecting which library you would like to sync or a way to reduce the number of songs it sees. Only way to do this appears to be changing media player's libraries so that it doesn't see all the files.
Really, I would like to be able to sync some of those files, but all of them are not needed. And the fact that it basically makes my device unusable is the biggest problem. I'm in the process of trying to disable it completely via desktop manager so I can have my device back....
I looked around at various forums and can't seem to find anyone else running into this. Anyone here had a similar or related problem? What did you do to get around it?One other thing I found... It was still doing the spinning clock and locking up, but it took a while after boot for the problem to crop up.
I pulled the media card and found that there was a media sync folder under Blackberry\System that had some files in there that were pretty big. The artwork file was over 150MB and some other files were largish.
I deleted the entire media sync folder and now it seems to be behaving itself. No more spinning clock and it seems to be slowly returning to normal. (Besides all the messages it deleted during the whole process)
If anyone else runs into this I would say you should clean the folder off the media card along with disabling the sync. Seems the BB still reads that folder and processes it if present. -
My daughter's iPod touch 5 first crashed when listening to iTunes Radio, then it started losing my wifi connection, especially if We went to safari to search. The screen continues to crash, by turning dim then black very suddenly, or green with lines then black. I've rebooted. I've reset. I've tried backing up onto iTunes for a restoration, but have lost many pictures and some apps. One other strange occurrence is that the time has changed on its own. It's like it's possessed. Please help.
It states the iOS 7.0.2 is up to date. Also continues to lose wifi while trying to check this.
The crashing is what is slowing time down, I think. It's a half hour off already -
I inadvertedly must have changed a setting where the apple logo and files and things that used to be in the top left corner of the screen are no longer there as the clock and wifi status and other installed settings used to show up in the top right hand corner of my screen. When I move my mouse to the very top of the screen they drop down but when I move my arrow away from the very top of the screen they both disappear again. So I was wondering how can I get it to revert back to the way it used to be? I hope this isnt confusing.
I tried the zoom thing but it still didnt resolve my issue Im gonna try to clarify my issue a little bit more, before the change, my screen when I would surf the web would have the apple logo and safari and file and edit and view buttons at the top left hand of the screen and the upper right hand screen would have the time and the wifi strength and my name and the spotlight box and a volume control but now they dont show while Im browsing the web unless I take my arrow and move it to the very top of the screen then those boxes will drop down like it used to be but when I take my arrow and move it from the top of the screen it disappears again and ll I get is a back and forward arrow and the url input bar. Anyone else have any ideas of what I did to mess this up?

when i change slide mirroring from off to on ,my new i pad lost wi fi connection and apple tv lost wifi connection:ihave last software for both.Can u help me?thanks.
when i use i pad with apple tv for see my photo,youtube and movies all ok.I suspect that the problem is in your router. Do NOT consider your router to be blameless if some other devices seem to work with it.
Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Don't just turn it Off. On many routers that doesn't really do anything but put the router into standby mode. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
There is a chance that some services turned on in your router could be causing problems. Look for a setting called QoS (Quality of Service). If ON turn it OFF.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

T540p battery drain in S4 state after Bios and Intel Wifi driver update
Hey Guys,
on my T540p, I configured the rapid start technology according to
http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/rapid_start_technology_user_guide.pdf
Since I have performed a BIOS update to 2.14 and an update of the Intel Wifi driver to 17.0.5, I experience the problem of battery drain when the computer is in S4 sleep state, at a rate of approximately 0.125% per hour (on the 56Wh battery).
This was not the case before these updates. There was no noticable power drain in S4 sleep state, even not over multiple days.
I'm using Win7, I set all the WoL capabilities both in BIOS and in the Intel driver to disabled, according to
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/Battery-drain-when-powered-down-Y410P/td-p...
External device USB charge settings are also fully disabled in BIOS and Power Manager. The problem does not occur when the system is fully shut down, but in S4 Sleep state, which should be a zero-power state too, as it was before the updates. In the details of the BIOS update it is stated " Fixed an issue where the computer might fail to enter sleep state". Could the power drain be a side effect of this fix? Or is it an issue with the (new) Wifi driver, as it was the case for the Y410P?
How could this battery drain be avoided? Has anybody experienced the same issue?
Best,
Martin
Solved!
Go to Solution.mka1284,
you could check out devices that might resume laptop from the sleep modes and disable them. Type in the following command in the cmd line window:
powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
Also the following command will show you report about power management. Open cmd window with administrative rights and type in:
powercfg -energy.

Running 10.6.8 on Intel dual core iMac, it keeps on losing internet connection. Webpages get stuck after a minute or so. If I check the internet connection via diagnostics it seems to work just fine. Others, like the iPad use the same wifi connection and never fail. What can I do?
Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,

I have an Itel based iMac on which I created a Wifi network using Airport. My iPhone5 uses the Wifi on my iMac and still works.My problem is that I can't remember the Wifi password and it is not in my Keychain. What can I do so that I can connect other devices to my Wifi?
Read the router's user manual on how to change your password.
If you are going to select another password, make sure it's one that you will NEVER forget AND no one else can figure it out. Print it out & keep in a safe place. A place that ONLY you know about AND never forget.
