MBP A1211 Battery Needs to be Services

MBP indicates battery needs to be serviced. Can I solve this by buying/installing a new battery. Note please that battery indicator shows full charge, which drops with use. Thanks for any help

Apple considers the battery in your MBP to be a consumable item - and it sounds as if yours is consumed. Get in touch with your local Apple Store or an AASP and see how much a new battery would cost - you don't say which model you have or if yours is a user-replaceable or non-user-replaceable battery, so I can't guess at the cost.

    My daughter has the same MBP I have.
    If I calibrate the battery on my MBP can I swap it with hers? Will it still be calibrated?
    Thanks ... Ken

    It can be calibrated in either machine. The calibration circuitry is in the battery, not the computer.

  • My late 2013 MBP Retina battery gets only about 4 hrs. What might be wrong?

    My late 2013 MBP Retina battery gets only about 4 hrs. What might be wrong?

    I found a solution!
    Perhaps this is just temporary, but I have my display up and working again.
    Although the symptoms are different were a bit different, the solution here worked:

    As I was able to connect to my HD via an external monitor, in the finder, I went to:
    1. Macintosh HD --> System --> Library --> Extensions
    2. From there I moved all of the files that started with ADM and ATI (19 in total for me) to a folder on my desktop. (You will need to enter your admin password for this)
    3. Next was a restart.
    4. Then my display started working again.
    5. After that, I transferred the files back into my Extensions folder.
    6. I then did another restart with my fingers crossed and breath held. It worked.
    Also... During the last few days of trying to find a fix, I restored a Mavericks backup to my computer away from Yosemite.
    I'm very sure this problem occurred when I put my MBP to sleep, disconnected the power in its sleep, while something was connected to a USB port and unplugging the USB device (for me an iPhone charger) while the MBP was closed.
    I hope this helps the next person.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

    You can still deauthorize an individual computer from the iTunes Menus.
    You can de-authorize only once a year 'all' computers from your iTunes account page.

  • I bought my iphone 5s in USA  and now i have come back to my country, India. My iPhone 5s battery needs replacement what should I do?

    Hello!
    My iPhone 5s battery needs replacement and I am not sure where to buy it from. I bought the phone when I was in USA but mow I am in my home country India and I am confused how to find an Apple Store in India so that I can get my phone repaired or battery replaced by them.
    Waiting for suggestions.

    The Warranty on phones is not international.  You will need to send the phone to someone in the US to start the replacement process (or repair), and when they receive the replacement (repaired device), they will need to send it back to you.

  • Why does the battery need to be recharged so often?

    My iPod is brand new and need recharging every other day.
    Why and how does this happen?

  • Problem: DPM could not reserve the drive resource because one of required drive resources is not online or it needs cleaning or servicing. (ID 24052)

    Hi, 
    Is there any way I can get around this problem (see notes below)?
    Here is the problem I am having:
    Type:     Dataset copy
    Status:  Failed
    Description:        DPM could not reserve the drive resource because one of required drive resources is not online or it needs cleaning or servicing. (ID 24052)
    Here is why it is happening (Background)
    Supported and unsupported scenarios in DPM
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn554221.aspx
    Multiple long-term tape goals that use dataset-copy jobs fail if you only have a single tape drive
    Issue: DPM doesn’t support multiple long-term backup goals if you only have a single tape drive.
    Workaround: Add a second tape drive to DPM or to the tape library.
    Notes:
    I have verified that the option for the number of tape copies is not greater than 1 for any protection goal in any of the 3 protection groups.
    I do have multiple long-term backup goals, and I only have a single tape drive.  I don’t want to add a second tape drive to DPM or to the tape library.  I think this is a ridiculous solution.  I was thinking of creating two types of backup
    jobs for ones for short term backups and for one larger job long term backups (weekly and monthly).
    The tape backups complete, just the "Dataset copy" doesn't happen.
    Environment:
    Windows Server 2012
    SCDPM 2012 R2
    Tape backup library, with one drive.

    Hi,

  • Need JDeveloper Web Service with HTTP POST method

    Hello all,
    I am creating a Web Service from a java class using JDeveloper. The wsdl created uses a SOAP binding. When I test the web service, either through JDeveloper or by deploying to OAS, the HTTP request created uses the HTTP GET protocol. I am assuming that this would be the same for anybody doing this.
    I need to know how to change it to be an HTTP POST protocol instead.
    The reason that I need to try and use the POST method is that the xml needed by the service holds a lot of data and the http server is giving me a "URI too long" error. I have read and been told that using POST instead of GET would help this, but I can't figure out what to change to make this happen. I am not sure if I have to make a change in the generated wsdl or somewhere else. Or if it just won't work that way.
    Any help you can provide would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    rob

  • New battery needed and possibly new adapter?

    I have a Macbook I bought back in 2008 and I know I need a new battery. My condition says "Replace now." Recently I've noticed that the light on my charger has been going out and sometimes isn't charging the battery. Is this just because I need a new battery or do I need a new power adapter too?

    Hi LuckyLo,
    there is one way to test to find out which one has the issue, the Charger cable or the Battery. or Both?
    firstly if the battery says " replace now" I would recommend investing in a New Battery, if the battery icon at the top of your screen says " Not Charging " its more then likely that its down to the battery needing to be replaced ,
    In regards to the Charger, You Could try removing the battery , and running the Mac from the mains cable directly ?
    see if the light goes out in the same fashion without a battery being installed, then you will find out if you have an issue with that Cable its self too.
    I have seen Mains cables inwhich the "little Light " is broken but they normally still charge the battery fine
    hope this was helpful
    thanks

  • I have a mac laptop and I was wondering if when it dies because the battery needs charging, will the tabs I had up go away?

    I have a mac laptop. it is white, but im not sure of the exact name. Anyways, the battery needs recharging, and I was wondering if the tabs close when it dies.

    sarahrules2013 wrote:
    so you are saying that everything closes?
    Yes, if the battery goes dead, the computer shuts off, and when you boot it back up, it's like turning off the computer and then turning it back on...Everything that wasn't saved, will have to be started again as when power gets removed from RAM, then whatever was in RAM at the moment is gone...

  • RAID ALERT: (0x0008/3) - Battery needs replacement - SOH Bad

    I've installed a new C350 recently. After a few days, I receive a warning message from IronPort (RAID ALERT: (0x0008/3) - Battery needs replacement - SOH Bad). What does it mean? Is it a hardware failure?

    This indicates that the RAID battery is fully discharged and cannot be charged. Essentially, a bad RAID battery. I would recommend getting in touch with Ironport support to get the appropriate RMA initiated.
