Low battery power alert sound?

My sound is up full and I hear other system alerts, but I get no low battery alert sound like I get on my old iBook. What's the problem?

More drama- I tried restoring the iPod again, and now iTunes doesn't even recognize that the iPod is hooked up. I AM DESPERATE FOR HELP

  • Erratic "Low Battery Power" shut-offs

    My I-Pod Mini is less than a year old and has developed a very annoying problem. Even with a full charge the unit will flash the "Low Battery Power" warning and then shut off. On some occassions the unit will turn back on within a few minutes and then play for a few hours. On other occassions the unit will not play at all. In the latter circumstance, I charge the I-Pod, but the icon will show that the battery is fully charged. It is then 50-50 as to whether it will play.
    To make matters more frustrating I sent my mini to Apple for service and got it back (completely erased) with a letter saying it operated within acceptable limits. So, now I have a mini that does not work well, and I am out shipping expenses - that doesn't seem right!
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    This sounds like my problem.

  • Changing Low Battery Warning Alerts

    I would like to change the system settings that concern the low battery warnings. My goal would be to create a new alert OR change the low battery alert to go off when the battery charge reaches 1%. How would I go about doing this?
    Thanks

    My MacBook Pro tells me approximate battery life left in the top info bar - doesn't that do it for you? I'd hate to have a pack go down to 1% - that's just too close for comfort (grin).

  • Updating on Low Battery Power

    How much power should be available on the battery before my iphone (or ipad) will allow me to update?
    I'm sure it would be better to update on full power.
    I'm trying to find any FAQ or information stating that I'd need to have power to at least 50% before the update can be installed.
    Somehow I experienced it earlier but I just need confirmation.

    Thanks - I was quite sure it needs at least 50% - but I'm looking also for any other FAQ answer or reference to this point.

  • Low battery power warning for 6230i

    hi,
    I recently bought a 6230i that I'm very pleased with, but I haven't heard the audio warning when its battery is low.
    I checked the 'user guide' but couldn't find anthing explaining how to turn it on, or to make it louder.
    Advice would be appreciated,

    Try to switch on your warnng tones by going to

    It kicks in at 3% on my 2011 MBA, I have seen reports that the % at which it appears can vary quite a lot, from 16% to 3%.
    Speculation would be it depends on the fitnesss of the battery?

    My rMBP's battery had fallen to 3% before I noticed it, and I never saw any popup warning.  I was not running anything fullscreen (just firefox covering part of the screen).
    Running your battery down to these very low charge levels will shorten its life, try to avoid discharging to less than 40%, try to stay on AC power as much as you can (all the time is better than your current useage profile) and only let it discharge when there is no other choice.

  • Low battery, apple icon, sad mac

    I just got my "new" used 4th gen ipod. I turned it on got the apple logo and then a sad mac with an exclamation point. I'm charging it to see if its an issue with the battery (the battery is showing low charge). What I can't understand is why the battery charging icon appears and then intermittingly the apple logo is followed by the sad mac and then back to the battery icon? Is the sad mac because of the low battery or another issue? It's only been plugged in an hour and I have not reset it. What's happening? Thanks

    Low battery icon does not equal to sad iPod, which means something wrong on the HD of the iPod, and its OS does not manage to process. However, most of the sad iPod problem do caused by the low battery. See the following helps
    Hello,
    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.

    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”

    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.

    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/

    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk

    You are prepared to buy a new one
    You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
    Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
    You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
    Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level

    1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
    In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod.

    I am not suggesting that you should follow as well, but just read them as your reference. You are the person to make the call.
    Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
    Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

    I am not suggesting that you should follow as well, but just read them as your reference. You are the person to make the call.
    Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
    Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

  • Low Battery Notification

    I'd figure that the iPhone would play a warning tone if the phone had low battery power. Did the guys in charge decide that it would be best to get rid of the sound altogether? Like most phones probably kill themselves by repeating the "I'm dying tone!" all the time.
    I think it would be a little convenient if the tone played on the reminder that the batter was low and at each point the phone would let you know (20%, 15% 10%...)
    Point being, is the iPhone ever going to have a battery level warning tone?

  • Has anyone had a problem with low battery capacity on the 6th gen ipod nano?

    I got my dad a 6th gen Ipod nano for his birthday and he is complaining about very low battery power and i was wondering if other nano users were experiencing this problem

    Samething here.  I got my ipod nano on Christmas 2010 and I always thought that it did not have the 24 hours music playback capacity.  This week I had the ultimate test.  I had to go the hospital and knew I would be waiting a long time. I fully charged my ipod nano (3 hours connected to my computer)... then, I turned it on at 11:30 in the morning and I played the radio non-stop until 5:30 PM when it just stopped working.  That's 6 hours of music playback, not 24...
    Is there something I should know about the battery and how to charge it to maximise music playback??

  • Please wait.  Very low battery..Help

    I just bought an 80gb iPod and I was able to charge it and transfer music to it and now it won't charge at my computer at all. It does charge fully on our car adapter, but as soon as I take it out of the dock it has the very low battery warning.

    That sounds like a bad battery - it won't hold a charge. Take the iPod back to the retailer.

  • Samsung Gusto 2 Battery Charge Alert

    How do I turn off the battery charge alert sound on the Samsung Gusto 2?  Like most folks, I charge the phone overnight and when it is fully charged, the alert sound wakes me.  I have to have the phone near me with sounds on so turning off all sounds is not an option for me nor should it have to be.  I found directions for the original Gusto but the Gusto 2 doesn't seem to have any way to turn it off.  That's insane - am I guaranteed no complete night's sleep as long as I own this phone?
    Thanks in advance.

        Sorry about that Darth_Emma!
    Let's try this instead: http://vz.to/12H0D4f specifically for the Gusto 2.
    If you're still not seeing the option, what software version are you running? Learn how to check here http://vz.to/110lMoR

  • [SOLVED] Thinkpad T510, freezes on battery power

    My Thinkpad T510 will freeze after anything from a few seconds to a few minutes after boot. I cannot do anything except hard power off the laptop. Sometimes it freezes at the login screen, sometimes at the desktop. So far it hasn't frozen on boot. I'm using Gnome 3 and GDM. Laptop-mode which is enabled on battery and AC power. I'm using the nvidia graphics card with proprietary drivers.
    I actually had a similar problem to this before, where it would freeze on battery power but much less often, usually anything from 10 minutes to hours after boot. It seemed like that problem had been fixed, but it has come back much, much worse.
    I wonder if the updated Nvidia 302 drivers are to blame, but I have no idea how I might go about finding out.

    EDIT: I found the laptop will still freeze once it had reached low battery power. To fix it properly, I backed up and then replaced the entire contents of /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/wireless with
    #!/bin/sh
    /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 power off
    I ran the laptop down to critical battery level and had no freeze.
    After hours of trawling Google, I *think* I've found a solution. At least it's been running for a good half hour now without freezing.
    To fix, open up /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/wireless
    Find the section -
    case $1 in
    true) wireless_powersave on ;;
    false) wireless_powersave off ;;
    *) exit $NA ;;
    esac
    and change it to -
    case $1 in
    true) wireless_powersave off ;;
    false) wireless_powersave off ;;
    *) exit $NA ;;
    esac

  • Low battery alert sound

    Hi
    I was wondering if anyone can help me.
    I have a Iphone 4, running IOS 7.2.1. When my phone is on silent mode, and the battery is on 20% or below, should it still make a beeping alert sound?
    I went through the settings to see if I can turn the alert sound off but can''t seem to find it.
    Can someone help please.
    Cheers
    Dengy

    Hey , no the iPhone doesn't make a sound when its draining battery . The only battery related sound is when you put your phone on the charger .
    I hope this helps if you have anymore questions you can reply to me and ill try and get back to you when I can !

  • Getting a warning when battery power gets low.

    Hello!
    I would like to get a warning, like a window popping up, saying that my battery power is running low. How can this be done?
    Is it possible to make my machine hibernate if I don't connect it to power if I don't react to the warning?
    I'm using a Lenovo Thinkpad T400, with an updated Arch installation, running Fluxbox.

    I use this script to alert me when battery is low
    #!/bin/bash
    #low battery in %
    LOW_BATTERY="10"
    #critical battery in % (execute action)
    CRITICAL_BATTERY="5"
    #sleep time 4 script
    SLEEP="60"
    #acpi battery name
    BAT="BAT0"
    #action
    ACTION="/sbin/poweroff"
    #display icon
    ICON="/usr/share/icons/oxygen/48x48/devices/battery.png"
    #notify sound
    PLAY="aplay /usr/local/bin/bears01.wav"
    MAX_BATTERY=$(cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info | grep 'last full' | awk '{print$4}')
    LOW_BATTERY=$(($LOW_BATTERY*$MAX_BATTERY/100))
    CRITICAL_BATTERY=$(($CRITICAL_BATTERY*$MAX_BATTERY/100))
    while [ true ]; do
    if [ -e "/proc/acpi/battery/$BAT/state" ]; then
    PRESENT=$(grep "present:" /proc/acpi/battery/$BAT/state | awk '{print $2}')
    if [ "$PRESENT" = "yes" ]; then
    STATE=$(grep "charging state" /proc/acpi/battery/$BAT/state | awk '{print $3}')
    CAPACITY=$(grep "remaining capacity" /proc/acpi/battery/$BAT/state | awk '{print $3}')
    if [ "$CAPACITY" -lt "$LOW_BATTERY" ] && [ "$STATE" = "discharging" ]; then
    $($PLAY)
    DISPLAY=:0.0 notify-send -u critical -t 5000 -i "$ICON" "Battery IS low. Plug or Pray." "remaining $CAPACITY mah, shutdown @ $CRITICAL_BATTERY mah"
    fi
    if [ "$CAPACITY" -lt "$CRITICAL_BATTERY" ] && [ "$STATE" = "discharging" ]; then
    $($ACTION)
    fi
    fi
    fi
    sleep $SLEEP
    done
    You have to install notification-daemon or you can look here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=67565
