Mavericks ruined battery life - Tracking down the cause? Mismatched RAM?

My 2011 MacBook Pro 13" is only at 245 out of 1000. My battery life was easily 7 hours until I upgraded to Mavericks. Now I'm lucky to see 5. Right now I'm sitting at 4 and I just barely took it off the charger.
No I'm not running a crapload of apps. Currently, Safari and Mail are the only ones open. I used to run lots more apps on Lion and still acheive 7 hours battery life.
I have disabled a number of background process such as automatic updates and the like. My Bluetooth is off. My infrared remote receiver is off. All in all, I consider myself decently adept at keeping thigns running efficiently.
I'm stumped. Could it be that I am running mismatched RAM sticks? I have 10GB total, 2GB+8GB.
I've done lots of reading, this issue seems to hit people at random. Some people report almost 9 hours of battery with Mavericks, others report that their battery performance has taken a hit.
Could this issue be related to the slow-sleep issue that lots of Mavericks users are experiencing? (Search com.apple.iohideventsystem.queue.tickle in Google; this process is causing a lot of sleep-grief for people)
Is there a terminal command that shows what is going on with my battery?

Forgot to mention, I tried a SMC reset. Twice. No change.

Tracking down the cause of a DuplicateDeliver email (Exchange 2010 SP2 RU8)

I am in the process of tracking down the reason an email is showing DuplicateDeliver in the message tracking logs (and not arriving in the client's mailbox). I have been attempting to search for the original message based upon the message ID or even
the Internal message ID is not producing any results.
The issue stems from an application that will send a batch of 18 emails to a specific mailbox with status messages and attachments. Periodically one of the 18 messages will not make it to the mailbox. I managed to trace the latest missing email through
our MTA, to the receive connector on our hub server (Exchange 2010 SP2 RU8) and finally to the message tracking logs where I see this:
Source : STOREDRIVER
EventId : DUPLICATEDELIVER
I have read threads on attempting to track this down based on the message ID's and have read the EHLO blog post on how/why DuplicateDeliver happens...now I just need to figure out why this application is having this happen periodically.
Any suggestions on how find the missing piece of the puzzle would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
MT

Hi Ravenmike,
Duplicatedeliver event occurs if the sender domain is send email with the same message ID to exchange server. By default the duplicate detection is set to 1 hour and these event after
generated by store.
For more information about duplicate detection, please check below article on Exchange team blog:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2004/07/14/183132.aspx
Do we have additional third party mail server? It maybe the third party mail server which sending multiple email with same message ID to Exchange.
Hope it is helpful
Thanks

Is there a way to track down the cause of crashes in SAFARI?

Not long ago I was able to eliminate one type of crash I had been having in SAFARI by following a suggestion made in this forum. Those crashes, however, were of the type that generated a 'crash report.' So they left a kind of 'paper trail' as to what was causing them.
More recently I have been having frequent crashes that don't result in such reports. These crashes occur apparently randomly when I mouseclick on a link. The spinning beach ball appears on-screen and never leaves.
Is there a way to find out exactly what is causing these crashes?
Thanks.

Hello Michael:
I have not yet seen a
good approach to using that information (short of
deleting the account).
better search some yourself Barry <G>
if something runs fine in another account - one can isolate the cause to one of the plist files in the main acct Home/Library/Preferences/ or possibly an add-on in Home/Library/Internet Pug-Ins or ...Input Managers for example.
If there is the same problem in the new acct - you can discount anything with the main acct user library - plists,caches,plugins,input managers, the whole lot.
A useful tool is Console - found in Applications/Utilities/ keep it running while the 'problem' in question crops up & see if any messages pop up in either the system log or console log. Sometimes these will point straight at the problem area, other times no help at all.

Track down the culprit that resets the system tray customization in Windows 7

The question is duplicated from http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/track-down-the-culprit-that-resets-the-system-tray/7cff4c95-4d08-4a7f-b29d-ce67d8cd6247 as suggested by a support engineer.
Hi Almighty All,
For a while I'm experiencing problems with my system tray. Something regularly resets my customization, i.e. after reboot sometimes all icons that I marked as to show always are hidden again. I found out that the reason is that something erases HCU\Software\Classes\Local
Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify.
I decided to find out what is responsible. I turned on auidt policy for objects, then I setup audit for HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify. The next time the icons customization was reset I found out
that HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify was cleared again and on top of that the audit settings were gone! So I thought maybe something just removed the whole key altogether with the audit settings on the
way.
My next attempt was to set audit on HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software and just let Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify inherit it. The next time the icons customization was reset I found out that HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify
was cleared again and on top of that the audit settings were gone again! Something removed the whole HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software?
The Event Log points out to one of the svchost.exe processes, which is just a container for the whole bunch of different services.
Any idea how to find out what service is responsible?

Hi,
Interesting issue, what about other configuration or settings? Do they work fine or keep reverting after a reboot? Have you tested this issue in another user account? What is the result?
Regarding to unable to save settigs for current user hive, I doubt whether there's an application you installed recently or an malware\virus changes the permission of registry entry or value of registry keys like
HKCU\Software\Classes which causes this issue.

Hmm... I don't understand. Nothing is reverting after a reboot, as well I'm
not unable to save settings in the current user's hive. The correspondent registry keys can be saved perfectly fine and they are
deleted, not reverted after a reboot. I pointed to the exact code that does it, the code is located in Microsoft DLL with all certificates and digital signatures intact. Permissions obviously don't matter, since svchost.exe is executed with the highest
integrity level and under the System user account, the keys in question inherit permissions, which allow System to do whatever it needs without restrictions
by default, you can't change it to allow more.
So can you explain how it can be some malware?
The issue is intermittent, I don't have a 100% repro, therefore “testing” under another user account is doubtful.

Is the battery life better on the iphone 5s than on the iphone 5?

Is the battery life better on the iphone 5s than on the iphone 5?

I have the iPhone 5s and my wife has the iPhone 5. They both last a few days between charges.
I am not sure that I can tell a difference, as I use mine less than she uses hers, but they both seem to last.

Tracking down the user who updates a PDP (Project Detail Page)

Hi guys,
I have a custom field called Project Status that is used in some PDP in Project Server. When users update this field, we need to know who did the update. Is there a way to track down the user who populated some info on this field? Does Project Server do
an audit of some sort on these kinds of things?
Thanks.
Regards,
Kwazi

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the response. I want to write a stored procedure to script this though. Do you know which tables holds information about Queue
jobs(?
Thanks.
Kwazi

HT4061 ive found a ipad, how do i go about tracking down the owner please?

ive just returned from a trip overseas, on my arrival at heathrow on dec8th, i come across a ipad in the baggage trolley
i was already running late, so didnt have time to find right place to hand it in, so im trying to find out best way to track down the owner? or hand it in at my local
police station? many thanks

You could contact the baggage department at Heathrow, as someone may have reported it missing, or turn it in to the local police. Usually, if no one claims it after a period of time, it will be yours.
Thanks for your honesty.
 Cheers, Tom

MacBook Pro Queries with Mavericks (Wifi & Battery Life)

Hello all !
I have a MacBook Pro (non Retina) purchased last month, running the latest installment of Mavericks. i7 Core processor, and 16GB of RAM.
Lately, I've been noticing two major issues with the computer that I can't quite diagnose - 1. Wifi Signal Loss, and 2. Battery Life Performance
1. Wifi Signal Loss- apparently this has been widespread since the introduction of Mavericks; while the recent update supposedly took care of the wifi signal issues, my laptop continues to suffer, sometimes randomly. Every other device stays connected constantly to the internet at home, so I know it's nothing to do with the router or house connections. The computer has an issue with waking from sleep with a wifi signal- it seems the only remedy is turning it off/back on. I've tried the PRAM and other computer resets, toggling the "Wake for Network Access" functions, creating a new settings group with Wifi signal preference over bluetooth (and BT is always off, by the way,) yet it seems to stall. Also, at times it just seems to stall. Only way to fix is turn off/back on the wifi access.
2. Battery Life- Seems I should be getting more performance from a MacBook Pro than <2 hours playing with iTunes and Firefox. The music is on an external hard drive, and I'm just adding files to the library while playing some songs.. however, shouldn't there be superior results? I'm skeptical at this point. If I decide to run more intensive programs, such as the Adobe Suites, what will become of its life away from power supply then?
Any assistance and insight is greatly appreciated!!

No one?
This is getting frustrating, as the battery drains so quickly if simply just web browsing. does the 16gb ram cause this?

Has a solution been found for the battery life problem after the Galexy S5 update?!

Andriod System and Andriod OS eating all of my battery causing in to drain 15%an hour after the update. Yes if have uninstalled all unnecessary apps and disable everything I can. Has a solution been found yet? I know Im not the only person who has had this problem from my research. Is there a fix?!

DONT do a Factory Reset. It will not help and is NOT necessary after an update.
Your issues are multi phased.
Go to Settings>Battery and see what is using the power
1) with a new Operating system, your phone will optimize the system and apps, this in itself can take a few days.
2) aside from that, you should try running the phone in Safe Mode as this loads only the core stuff necessary to run the phone.
3) if Safe Mode works then it Is one of your Third Party Apps and would be easy to track down
4) if it is one of the apps it is recommended that you uninstall them run the phone then start installing them slowly until you find the offending app
5) If running in Safe mode has NOT worked, then you need to deep dive a bit more. Open Settings>Apps and go to the ALL tab. Go in and start Force Stopping apps such as Camera, Sync etc...(the last Samsung update the Camera was frozen and would drain the battery pretty fast)
It is most likely a third party app causing the slowness. As a last resort you can bring your phone to a Best Buy and go to the Samsung Kiosk or Booth inside the store. These are manned by Samsung Employees and you would ask them to re flash your phone. They will plug it into their computer and load the software directly from their servers and not over the air. This would be the cleanest install you can get on these phones but it may not fix the issue if Samsung coded part of it incorrectly or if the camera app is not updated and is incompatible with Lollipop which is causing it to run continuously.

Has anyone actually experienced anything close to the Up To Battery life stated on the Tech Specs???

The battery is supposed to be so good that it would:
Standby time: Up to 225 hours
Internet use: Up to 8 hours on 3G, up to 8 hours on LTE, up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
I have 4 chargers scattered around my life spaces. I went out for 3 hours today, made no phone calls and did not eMails, and still lost 60% of the battery life.
This phone is a work of art but simply not practical!
Anyone found solutions?

Being my first, can only compare with my old Nokias, last one being an N97 with features I still miss. However, after hours of studying the thing, reading all the manuals, including David Pogue's and studying it some more, I have managed to stretch it to 4 days without touching the charger, provided I turn it into a dumbphone for standby (all off except 2G voice) and selectively enable what I need while I use it. And NO Facebook. Subjectively, I felt a very modest improvement with the 6.1 upgrade, contrary to many irate forum posters.
Must confess being the main cause to limited battery life. With all the goodies and gadgets it has, it is simply too much of a temptation to resist dragging out instead of the Mac.

Ipod nano 2nd gen, 5 years old, has short battery life. Can the battery be replaced? If not, does apple have a replacement program? how much?

Details:
5 year old 2nd Gen Ipod nano only works for an hour the most. Battery may be approaching end of life.
Can this still be replaced? if not, what are my options? Does apple have a replacement program?

Just would like to share with you, my experience with a friend's Nano with a smiliar problem
The battery level could be too low to boot up the OS of the iPod, which even may corrupted (if you see a folder icon).
The best way to fix it, is to connect it with different device other than your PC as it is likely not get charge at all, e.g.
1. car charger
2. ac charger
3. ipod speaker dock system
4. using firewire cable
5. with a Mac computer
The key is to charge the battery level up to the minimum for you to put your Nano into disk mode

once you see the "tick" mark, connect it with a computer, and try to do a Restore for your iPod. In case you still do not manage to get your iPod to be recognized by a PC, I am afraid you have to connect it with a Mac, very likely it will allow you to do a Restore as I did last night

Update of the firmware?
Thanks
That is NOT what you said previously. You said: "I try to close all the app, close all tab of safari, roaming is off for the data" We are NOT psychic. Your original statement does NOT indicate that you have 3g off.
If the phone is unable to lock onto the preferred provider you set in manual mode, it will be constantly searching for the carrier signal. This will drastically reduce battery life. If you are out of range of the carrier you want to use, put the phone in airplane mode.

Battery Life going down! NEED HELP!

I have only had my Macbook Pro since Christmas Day! The battery life tends to get only about two hours with a full charge! I am extremely happy with the performance and everything that it has done. I have looked for help but everyone says they love the battery life and it is phenomenal. I tend to keep my brightness on the 4th or 5th "click" and keyboard backlight off unless i am in dark which is very rare. I would love some help before making myself look like a fool to the support team. If i could have some help or some succesful past experiences that would be great!
Sincerely NEW macbook user

Are you running the Windows emulation program Parallels? There was aproblem with one version where a background process of Paralles cused the Dock to use all the processor cycles:

If you are not running that program, I would take it back to Apple for their evaluation.

HT201210 is the io.7 been fixed yet, with the battery life dying on the iphone,

has the iphone battery life been fixed yet, since the io.7 been added to the phone

I'm not having any problems with IOS7 on my Iphone 5.
I think it's a lot to do with the settings you have turned on. One big draw is the Background App Refresh.

Mavericks ruined battery life - Tracking down the cause? Mismatched RAM?
