Lost over 20% battery health in Two Days!

Help! My battery health was at about 88% just two Days ago. I've had my MacBook for over a year now, so that sounded normal-ish. Am I right about that?
Then Yesterday my Battery shot down to 76% health.
Today I just checked, and it's at 66% health. I've been having problems with the Xs and so forth and nothing has been working. Do you think Apple will replace my Battery if I call them?
If I have no chance of them doing that, I mind as well just go out and buy the battery. But sudden drops in health like this, it's very disconcerning. This machine is my First Mac, and we're thinking about buying another one, but with this battery gloom and doom, the last thing I want to do is have to deal with another huge set of dilmenas.
I've faced Random Shut Downs (Cycle Number Two of those started yesterday. Suddenly when I have low battery the machine just "turns off". Can't even Calibrate my Battery because of this), Dirty Palmrests, Woes of Non-Universal Applications (No PC would ever have Microsoft Word launch so slowly). Sure my Mac is great when it's up and running... On the other hand, so many problems with just one machine.

I downloaded iStat Pro here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
It monitors all sorts of things: Temperatures, HD Capacities, Battery Capacity/Health, etc.
I used to have it, then took it off, and put it back on recently.
Also, I called Apple. New battery on the way.
Only thing I didn't like about the battery replacement was that they wanted my Credit Card Number on file. Kind of a pretty personal thing to want so Apple can make sure I return a damaged battery...
Anyways...

Since I have upgraded from 7.1 then the power consumption increased slightly unbelievable. I have new batteries in my iphone 5 and when I had at ios 7 so was consumption that allows the battery envelope in two days and with ios 7.1 so is it only 12 hours

The wifi button is not lit up has been this way for 2 days and have the ipod for over a year and until two day ago it work just fine anyone have any answers as to how i get get it to work again

Need help to get the wifi button to work on my ipod

Make 3 different iCloud accounts and use ONLY for iMessage. That will permanently fix your issue.

IPod 5th Gen doesn't find any WiFi signals after battery was dead for two days.

I recently bought an ipod 5th generation, it only has the selfie camera (no back camera).
My battery then ran out, and my iPod was dead for two days.
My iPod charging cable wasn't working, so i went out to buy a new one.
After charging it with the new cable, it would not connect to the internet.
My brother has a 4th generation ipod and his picks up and connects to the wifi signal we have here at home, but mine won't even pick up the signal, or any wifi signals period.
I looked around here on the Apple Support but found nothing that helped, I already reset my network settings.
Is there any way to fix this?

If not 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.

Then
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
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.

Just in last two days, my battery is dying at extremely fast rate. Why is that?

Just the past two days, my IPhone 4 battery is dying at an extremely fast rate. Why is that?

Exactly the same situation with me, except I am about to get my third phone. I bought the first one only 5 weeks ago and in one week had to have it replaced. Now I have to do it AGAIN! This appears to be a two year recurring problem and I am not finding any answer here, beyond reboot (which does not work, in my case at least). I get the feeling that nobody at Apple is listening.
I need to be able to rely on my phone. For example, my daughter tried to call me from school yesterday with a semi-emergency and because I had not noticed that it was below 50%, I missed her call. My phone was dead as a doornail. This is not acceptable with me. Given that we can't simply replace the battery, but have to start all over with a different phone (notice, I did not say NEW) every time, it is pretty much souring me on iPhones.

Second day with MBP and %85 Battery Health

Hey guys ,
I ve just open my new MBP 2.66 and i used it for just nearly 2 days.
When i see the battery statics , they re like;
19weeks
2 cycles
battery health : 85%
It is like a joke! Just 2 days and 2 cycles how could it be possible that i ve 85% battery health on my MBP?
I think that book was made 19weeks ago , but i guess it doesnt have to affect the health of my battery , right ?
I feel so terrible atm , please somebody tell me that its normal and all MBPs are same at the beggining:)
What if it is a problem from factory , i ve apple care product on my MBP , Does it include the replacement of battery?
thanks .

The battery needs several weeks of use for the battery's reported health to stabilize — it's not being reported accurately before calibration. Even after weeks of use it's likely to fluctuate up and down by several percentage points from day to day and week to week. Now that you've had it for more than a month, you can't return it, and your battery probably won't be considered defective unless and until it shows less than 80% health steadily for a couple of weeks or longer. As long as it's above 80%, you will probably be told it's within specs. So there is *no use at all in obsessing about it* until then. Stop doing so.
Just use the computer normally for a month or two and see what happens. Don't check on the battery's health every day — that's obsessing. Check on it every two weeks. If it falls below 80% and stays there, take the machine in for battery testing at an Apple Store. No one can assure you that your battery will be found defective. And as I wrote above, it probably won't even be tested if its health is above 80% when you take it in.
Yes, the 19 weeks is the time since the computer's manufacture date.

Lost two days of editing work...

Hello. My computer got stuck. After rebooting, Final Cut X opened and showed me a timeline that had lost two days of my work!!! Any chance or recup the work? Any sort of autosave vault somewhere? Thanks for your help.

Thank you very much Russ. I did it already, but unfortunately, I don't know why, this backup is from yesterday at 19:20h, so all the work afterwards is lost... I don't know how the app does do any back up after that time. This means I have to start over with another application, this was a professional job and I can see Final Cut X is not reliable at this point.
Thanks a lot for your help. Best wishes.

ICal month view - appointments over two days

Very annoying but when entering a new event in the month view it defaults to an all day event - ok I can cope with that.
But when double clicking the new event to change it to a timed event (still in month view) and tabbing through the dates and time, the duration seems to default to 6+ hours, so after 17:00 defaults to being over two days and it is too easy to miss changing the end date.
Is there a way out of this?

In the month view, it's all down to the number of events you have on that day plus the size of the window/resolution of the screen.
If there's room, iCal will display all of an event's description, but if you shrink the window or add more events, the description will reduce in size- eventually into two columns - to give a chance of seeing all of them. Once there are more events than fit, you'll see an elipsis ( ... } at the top of the day. When this happens, you can only see ALL that day's events by going to week or day views.
You can potentially fit more in on the month view by turning-off the option to show the event time in month view in iCal Preferences.

I am so disgusted with Verizon CS. Six hours over two days on the phone to upgade a phone and my plan. More to come, but I have names, and even a direct phone number to a "supervisor". I'll be posting more... The incompetence of EVERYONE (which is alm

I'll be posting all the details of this tomorrow.

So, I'm back, the OP.
As briefly as i can:
Two phone family, currently one smart, one dumb phone. The dumb is eligible for upgrade.
Call into V and spoke with "Anthony" to get info on what plan(s) I might consider as I upgrade the dump to a new iPhone 6. Currently an old "grandfathered in" Nationwide 700 plan. This was Friday Sept 19. Get some info, which I assumed to be correct, including the fact, his words not mine, that the "upgrade (device) fee" can be negotiable.
Before I had any first hand knowledge, I assumed that I'd better get a "second opinion" so I drove over to my local Verizon (corporate) store. Well, I got a different story, including the percentage of my employee discount on service, my employer gives a 20% discount and has for years, I have my current statement / bill in my hand. But no.... Verizon guy says that is wrong, its only 18%. I ask him about upgrade fee being negotiable. He says no, never. So what had I learned? That V guy on the phone from Friday was either lying or just ignorant.
Soooooo.... now its Tuesday, Sept 23. The "BIG" day, day of 3 hours 50 minutes on the phone with SEVEN different V people, all of them telling me something different about what plan(s) I'm eligible for, your employee discount is 17, no 18, no 20 percent. Yes we can negotiate an upgrade fee, no we can't... At one point, now a couple hrs into it I say I've had enough, I want to talk to a supervisor. "I'm sorry sir, supers can't come to the phone" WHAT? Well later, once I did speak to a first level supervisor and then a second level I of course found out that was wrong - more lies / misinformation? The supervisor took the name of that V CS rep and looked at my every growing call log and said that he would speak to the CS rep.
So, nearing the 3 hrs mark into my attempt to find out about plans and buy an upgraded phone for my plan I reach "Brian". I have his direct number. Apparently he is something more important that the past 6 people I've spoken to over the past thee hrs. I tell him: "EVERY SINGLE PERSON I've spoken to so far has told me something different, and or contradicted what the last person I've spoken to has said!!!!!" Yes you can have 2 single line plans, no you can't, to get this plan your upgrading device has to be on the "Edge" plan, no it doesn't, your employers discount applies to the bottom line, no it doesn't, only to the data, and on, and on, and on.
Sooooooo I tell Brian, "here's how its going to go... YOU are going to wave the upgrade fee. I don't care where the money comes from, V or right out of your pocket. I've been on the phone for now closing in on FOUR HOURS...."
Sooooo he agrees. I laugh and tell him, "You know, it has nothing to do with the money, not its all about screwing V as much as I can, and wasting yours and V's time."
He says, order your phone and plan this week and I'll call you Friday (today Sept 26) and then credit your account the fee.
Soooo yesterday (Sept 25) I call in to do just that, order the phone and plan, WHICH I was told really the only plan that would suit you would be a More Everything Plan. So, ok that's that.
I speak to a CS / Sales rep. I buy the phone and then we go on to the plan. I tell the rep THIS WHOLE LONG STORY, and it looks like we are heading towards the More Everything, BUT she says to me, "you know, you could do that Single Line plan for BOTH of your phones?" I say "WHAT????" I was told by two reps NO, and two reps "Well.... maybe". This plan gets me everything I want AND saves me $10 a mo.
Sooooo we go for that, BUT.... I can't change my plan (from current Nation Wide 700) to 2 two single line plans until I activate my new phone (which will be 4 weeks until I get it - iPhone 6), SOOOOO once it arrives I HAVE TO CALL BACK TO V and switch - how much fun will that be??? MORE time (hours?) with V.
So we agree.... The rep says I just have to transfer you to our automated system where you'll agree to terms and conditions.. Fine. Up comes the computer voice... and.... it says "hello.... you are upgrading your device (123) 555-1234 (it gives a real number), press 1 if this is correct." WHAT???? That is NOT the phone number of my device ***? The auto system gives me the option to press another number to "enter a different number", so I do, AND...... The call disconnects.
Now... If I could track down ANY ONE OF THE PAST 8 PEOPLE I'D SPOKEN TO OVER THE PAST TWO DAYS, YOU'D BE READING ABOUT ME - "Upset customer KILLS everyone at V". I AM SO ******* ****** OFF AT V... I'm now into 2 hrs today, plus the nearly 4 hrs the other day on the phone.
Soooooo.... I call back, have to tell the story again, this time to "Nick" in N.Y. Nick says just go on line to your account, you can accept the terms there. Well, what do you know.... It works, amazing.
But.... Nick says great and reads back the info on the phone I bought and says "...and I see you are on the More Everything Plan..." WHAT, STOP, STOP, STOP. I tell Nick, "Nope, I am not, I never agreed to that, I'm waiting, keeping my old plan for 4 weeks until I get the new phone, THEN I'm to call back (oh joy) to V and upgrade my plan"
Nick say's well you have the More Everything plan, and it is costing you $10 more a month, BUT I can't un-do it because there is a purchase (my phone) in progress... I am not BEYOND MAD. We are now at SIX HOURS TOTAL TIME ON THE ******* PHONE OVER TWO DAYS.
I ask to speak to Nick's supervisor. Melanie comes on the line. I, weather she wants to hear it or not, TELL HER THE ENTIRE STORY, that when (and GOD help him if he doesn't) Brian, the top end supervisor calls on Friday (today) to check on my experience buying the phone / upgrading the plan AND to credit my account the upgrade fee, I'm going to have to tell him about EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED TODAY and about the TWO MORE HOURS ON THE PHONE. Melanie says, yes you do now have a More Everything... All I can do sir is apply a credit back to your account for the difference in cost between your old (what was my current) and the new More Everything (the plan I NEVER agreed to be on).
So, that is where we are as of now, Friday Sept 26 AM. "Brain" said he'd be calling by noon-ish Pacific time. I've got his direct number, and If I don't here from him by noon, his phone will be ringing off the hook very 30 seconds until he picks up.
My experience to simply upgrade one of the two phones on my plan and the plan itself HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE. VERIZON is sooo SCREWED UP. NO TWO PEOPLE KNOW THE SAME INFO, and the INEPTITUDE displayed is sickening.

Two days ago, I lost a bunch of my contacts, appointments on my calendar, and my mail is working differently on iPhone! What happened? I didn't change anything! This has happened to other people I know too. How do I get my stuff back?!

The iphone 5 can only be located if connected to a data or mobile network. If in Airplane mode or switched off, it can't be found.

I lost my ipod outside a few weeks ago found it soaked two days ago. will it work ????

I lost my ipod a few weeks ago and found it two days ago outside i currently have it in a bag of rice . I was wondering is it possible that it will turn on and work

Maybe be yes, maybe no. Also, while it may work initially after drying, you may get internal corrosion that will cause problem in the future.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
