Macbook unable to 'hybernate' when still using on 0% battery

When I normally use my Macbook up till the moment it shuts down, nothing seems to be saved. I hear 2 gongs after booting with power and it boots up with nothing in it's memory of the previous session.
The Macbook is able to hybernate if I go into sleep on 1% or so..
Someone any clue why, little bug in the software that thinks it still has enough power or so but hasn't?
Has done this since day 1... but I thought it would go away if it just got to know the battery better. (It's already a replacement mac for a A-gen...)

Reset the SMC.

  • I just purchased a MacBookPro after having a MacBook.  I have ILife, IWorks and Office for Mac.  How do I get those programs on to my MacBook Pro?  I will still use my MacBook at work so I need those programs to remain on it as well.

    You need a Firewire cable to run between the two Macs.  Using Utility>Migration Assistant running on your new MacBook Pro, transfer what you want (with all the preferences and such) from your MacBook to your MBP.  Here's more info from Apple.
    You might have an issue with the Serial number for Office, but hopefully you have that around.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT5922 Can I airplay a movie from safari on my MacBook to Apple TV and still use the computer for something else at the same time?

    Can I airplay a movie from safari on my MacBook to Apple TV and still use the computer for something else at the same time?

    Hi frogjt,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    Great question! You can absolutely do this in OS X 10.9. The attached article explains how the process of using AirPlay with Apple TV to create a second display. Also, towards the bottom of the article there are instructions on how to set your Displays preferences on the computer to make sure the TV and MacBook Pro displays are set up the way you want them to be.

    hi, i bought a irig to connect my guitar on my macbook pro 2012, but when i use the irig in my mac, it doesnt recognize, so i cant choose it on preferences of sound, what can i do?  (the sound of my guitar goes by IRIG but I can not hear due to feedback and when I try to record another track on the garageband, the sounds recorded on the new track is catching the sound of another track recorded)

    Turn the internal mic level off. Use headphones as monitors.

  • I just recently bought my macbook pro 13 inch with still a 1 year battery warranty. When I don't even use my laptop, it drains my battery 30%. Would apple change my battery for free if i have a 1 year warranty on it?

    Do you think i should go to an Apple store to change my battery or go to the store where i bought it?

    Your battery would slowly drain during any period of disuse even if it were removed from the computer and nothing were connected to it at all. A fundamental property of every battery is that whenever it isn't being charged, it's draining. If your compputer is shut down entirely, expect the battery to lose 0.5-1% per 24 hours without AC power connected. When it's sleeping, it will lose closer to 1% per hour. In either situation, leaving the AC adapter plugged in will prevent the battery from draining more than 5-7% in total before it starts to charge back up again.

  • Macbook Pro shutting off when unplugged and at 80% battery? help!

    I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro 15 in. that i got in May of 2011. When i unplug the power adapter it works fine, but at about 80% battery it shuts off. i go to turn it back on and it acts as if it is dead, i press the power button again and it turns on without problem (although the date and time at first is messed up). What is wrong? I recently had to get my hard drive replaced 2 months ago and it has been working fine until yesterday. What could be wrong and how do i fix it?

    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. Back up all data before you go.

  • 2008 Unibody MacBook Pro shuts down when lid closed while on Battery

    Hello,
    I did some google searches, but could not find anything that was exactly my issue. I have a 2008 MBP unibody. If the MBP is on battery only and I close the lid, the notebook shuts down completely. This is even when the battery is fully charged. However if while plugged in and I do the same, the computer "sleeps" as advertised. I have reset both the SMC and PRAM to no avail. The main thing that bothers me is it seems like when this happens on battery, its almost as if the computer is getting a hard shut down. The machine acts as if the battery was pulled while the lid was closed and this is obviously not good for the hardware or sofware. Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks
    Keith

    I forgot to add that when the lid is closed it doesnt shut down straight away. The LED on the front pulses and for a good 10-15 mins it does sleep and wake. However any time longer and it does its hard shut down deal.

  • My iphone 5 battery is draining like anything, after updating it to ios6.0.2, when i use 3G the battery in 2.5hrs from 100% brcomes 40%,

    Is Apple making a new software update to fix this bug.

    Sorry, but the warranty for the iPhone is only valid in the country where you bought the device.
    In most of the cases 3rd party apps or settings caused the battery to drain faster than before the new software has been set up. Sometimes the mail app tried to connect to the mail server over and over again, deleting and setting up the mail account can solve this problem.
    In other cases social media apps did similar things to the phone.
    Here are some suggestions for getting back the normal battery life, maybe they are helpful for your problem with your iPhone 5 as well.

  • If I upgrade to OS Yosemite, can I still use office 2011 on my Mac

    If I upgrade to OS X Yosemite 10.10, can I still use office 2011 on my MacBook Pro 2011

    Yes, I am still using mine. As long as you don't do a fresh install, which is deleting the hard drive then installing Yosemite. However, I recommend a new fresh install every update. It keeps the computer in tip top shape.

  • When I use AC Adapter, Ipod turns on and off

    I will try to explain this the best I can, here goes...
    When I use all the battery in my ipod, so that it is completely dead, and I attempt to plug it into the AC adapter, the ipod turns on and off. I can hear the hard drive clicking on and off. It will not stay on; it just keeps doing this. However, if I plug the ipod into my computer, it will charge.
    Do people think that this is a problem with my ipod or with the AC adapter?
    I'd appreciate any feedback or if people have had a similar problem, let me know.
    Thanks so much.

  • Hello, I have a macbook pro late 2011 15 inch with 4 gb ram. My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Is there a fix?

    My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Furthermore, when just using safari to watch streaming television, my computer gets really slow, and locks up, and the dock appears blank and I sit here frustrated. Anytime i wake up my computer, my keys don't respond and I've waited at most 3 minutes untill i can type in my password. Even sometimes when i type in my password and hit enter, it takes forever to open up my mac. I have barely used any storage in my macbook, since i only use it for college, and I have run clamscan wiht no viruses showing... Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Two previous questions may not have been as clear as I would have liked. I recently upgraded my MacBook 2008 (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.8). With the updates came iTunes 11.1.1 and Quicktime 7.6.6. I am still using Garageband 2008 and iPhoto 2008. When I create music in Garageband I usually adjust the volume and save it. Even now when I share the Garageband created files with iTunes 11.1.1, the volime I previously set in Garageband is retained. However, when I use the music to create a slide show in iPhoto 2008 and export to Quicktime 7.6.6, the volume level I previously set is lost and seems to default to a low level. The problem seems to be either in the slide show export from iPhoto 2008 to Quicktime 7.6.6 or in Quicktime itself. Is there a work around, so that I can retain the volume level I had previously set in Garageband, a volume level that seems to transfer without problem to the new iTunes. But then iPhoto 2008 (slide show) possibly or Quicktime 7.6.6 do not cooperate. Before I did the upgrade to Snow Leopard, the new iTunes and Quicktime I had no problems with the set volume being retained in the old Quicktime. The reason I need control over the volume is that all these music files are uploaded to YouTube.

  • I used to have a apple id but when i got my macbook i changed it. Then i downloaded OS X and updates in my app store will not let me change my apple id back to my new one it just still uses my old one. What do i do?

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple Id to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new ID.

  • I have a 17" Macbook pro with flickering red and cyan(blue) lines across the screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem.

    I purchased my Macbook (17") through a certified apple tecnition in August 2012, it was refurbished and the motherboard was completely replaced. I do a lot of photo editing, but I have been unable to do so because of the red vibrating lines that interrupt my screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem. I brought the computer back to the technition I purchased it from and he said that it was a problem with my fan, so I have two new fans but the issue is still occuring. He says he doesnt know whats wrong. Does anyone have any information on this issue?
    Here is an image of the issue

    I recommend having your Mac serviced by someone competent. A force sufficient to "blow apart" the fans was clearly excessive and may have damaged the display cable, as well as any number of other problems.
    Dust is properly cleaned with a vacuum, preferably one designed for computer service, and they are not cheap.
    Compressed air should never be used. It just blows dust everywhere, often into places where it can no longer be removed.
