My 15" MBP is two weeks old but battery capacity is already lowering significantly?

I've had my 15" MBP for about two weeks now and CoconutBattery is already telling me that the capacity is down to 95% (design capacity - 6900 mAh, current capacity - 6586 mAh) Also, the details show that the battery is 19 weeks old and has gone through 23 battery loadcycles. I also just unplugged my laptop from a full charge and after less than 45 minutes of simple web browsing, it has already fallen to 67%. While I do use my laptop quite a bit, I've always used Macbooks because I find the battery life to be pretty durable for the machine. I only had to change my pre-2008 Macbook Pro battery once in almost 4 years. Can someone tell me if something seems wrong and should I contact AppleCare about it?

Why do people always recommend to recalibrate the battery and then link that document from apple about calibrating the battery that specifically states that the batteries are pre calibrated???
"Portables with built-in batteries
Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and do not require the calibration procedure outlined in this article. These computers use batteries that should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider."

  • Phone is a week old and battery is horrible already!

    Please help, my phone is brand new and the battery is horrible. I have brightness down all the way, notifications off. I turn wifi off when I don't use it. I know about all that stuff. The battery still drains. I charge it at night take it with me, never use it until about 10 in the morning, and the battery is already down to 70 percent. It's a joke. I knew they didn't have great battery, but this is ridiculous! I don't have location on either and it's not too full, although that shouldn't cause problems. I don't know what else to do. I'm hoping it's an issue with a software update. I really don't want to take it back to AT&T this soon after buying it.

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • Can only see emails no later than two weeks old! HELP!

    Hello there. We use Outlook 2010 and Exchange 2010 and I am having an issue with one user. She called yesterday to tell us that she was looking at her inbox and she noticed that she couldn't see any email after two weeks old. This user uses two different
    computers, one at her desk and then one at the front secretary desk where she sits about 2 days a week.
     I then checked to see if she had any filters on, even started outlook.exe /cleanviews, /cleanrules, and /safe and still couldn't see past two weeks. I then checked to see if cache mode was checked and it was not on either computer. Checked her deleted
    folder and there was nothing in there but then did a restore and there was tons of stuff in there, so I restored it all because she said that it looked like it was the stuff but I don't think it was. Anyways, the restore didn't work and there are still only
    two weeks of emails in her inbox. She's one of the few people here that go through all her emails and delete a lot of them and put some in folders that she really needs to keep.
    I then checked around the other folders that she has and there were emails from way back, even going back years. Just to make sure, I enabled her OWA access and signed into her account on there and it had the same stuff that her outlook has so I don't think
    it's application related.
    I'm wondering if there is anything else that I can check that could be causing this issue. I would be very appreciative for any help that can be offered.
    If you have any questions for me please let me know.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    You cannot see the missing emails from OWA, right?
    Have you checked if the emails were archived to a psf-file? You can also check the AutoArchive setting by right-clicking on Inbox and selecting Properties, then click
    AutoArchive tab. Check if you set the "Clean out items older than" option to "2 weeks".
    If so, you can try to open the PST file from File > Open > Open Outlook Data File. By default, the archive PST file is stored under: C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Outlook Files.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Less than two week old iPad Air crashes with youtube/netflix and Safari when loading pages with video (i.e. Buzzfeed with links to youtube and vine). What's up with iPad Air's bugs with videos??

    Week and a half old iPad Air crashes with light usage of youtube, netflix and safari pages with video links to youtube and vine. The consistency of problems with videos has led me to determine that it must be bugs with iPad Air. Anyone else having this problem?
    Details: iPad Air 16gb wifi, have only used about 25% of space and always close all apps before opening another. I also have only had a max of two tabs open on safari of basic internet surfing (i.e. A google search page, or imdb for example). These crashes are annoying as sh......

    I can well imagine that they are.
    I would backup, restore to factory settings, restore from the backup and then try again. If that fails, restore again but do not use the backup - restore as new. If the iPad functions OK as new, then slowly rebuild the iPad adding your apps, music etc, methodically to see if you can pin down what might be causing the problem.
    if all of that fails, it's time to schedule an appointment at an Apple a Store (must be done online) and have them take a look, or of it is lees than two weeks old, just return it for a refund and buy another one.

  • HT1766 Why does my pc say that there is no drivers for my new Ipad Air. I did a backup this night from the two week old Ipad Air that I smashed the front?

    Why does my pc say that there is no drivers for my new Ipad Air. I did a backup this night from the two week old Ipad Air that I smashed the front?

    Drivers are iOS specific....meaning if your old one had iOS 7.0.6 and your new one 7.1 then it needs different drivers.
    Is your iTunes up do date? if not, then updating it may help.
    You can also try using a different usb cord and port to see if that triggers the driver download.
    or, if that doesn't work, try going into your control panel, add/remove programs. Look for 'apple mobile device service' and uninstall that. THen plug your iPad in and it should reinstall.
    If that doesn't work, go back into the control panel but uninstall iTunes, and apple mobile device service and apple application support, then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if that gets your drivers fixed.
    Another way to do that is go right click on 'my computer' 'properties' and go to 'device manager'
    plug your iPad in and do you see it show up in the list? YOu may need to click some of those little plus signs to open up the lists. If you see your iPad, right click on the name and you should see an option to update the driver.

  • TS1702 I have a charge on my CC that does not track to any purchases nor do I have an email receipt.  Can anyone tell me where/how I can get this deleted (charge is from 04/08 so nearly two weeks old)?  Thanks!

    I have a charge on my CC that does not track to any purchases nor do I have an email receipt.  Can anyone tell me where/how I can get this deleted (charge is from 04/08 so nearly two weeks old)?  Thanks!

    Apple could not tell you who else might be using your credit card, so there's no point in trying to contact them. All they could discuss with you is your own iTunes Store account, and if there's nothing in your purchase history, the charges almost certainly aren't coming from there. Again, you should take this up with your bank/credit card company and report these charges as fraudulent. They probably will cancel your card and issue you a new one.

    What does that have to do with the problem?
    You want to delete (daily?) anything over two weeks old.  That's 14 days.  That's sysdate - 14.
    delete from mytable where mydatecol < sysdate -14;
    It's so simple I'm afraid I must be missing some requirement that you haven't articulated.

    I hate to say this, but unless you are paying the 25 bucks you cannot back up your library to the cloud.
    All you can do is back up the items you "purchased" from Apple.
    iTunes Match
    For $24.99/year you’ll get access to all your iTunesmusic including tunes you ripped from CDs or “borrowed” from anonymous friends. It scans your library to see if the song exists in iTunes’ 18 million song catalog and if it does it’ll stream it to you at 256 kbps. If your song is not in iTunes then it’ll be uploaded to iCloud at whatever rate it is on your device where it can be streamed for your listening pleasure. I cannot find any information on how to restore a library, however
    Best of luck

  • Very Low Call Volume of two week old iphone.  Any pointers to resolve this?

    I just bought the iphone two weeks back. Everything was fine until after I synched up the iphone 3g with itunes and installed some free apps from apple store. I can barely hear other person's voice. Note that increasing the volume using the side buttons is of no use. I am still on version, 2.0.1 ( 5B108).
    Does anybody else has this problem? Any one knows about the resolution to this? PS: while i was typing this message I received an att message asking me to upgrade version of my iphone. Is that a good idea ?
    Message was edited by: DrNew

    Thanks for response. But few days back the max volume was pretty fine ( before I synched up iphone). Now its reduced by atleast 70% as even when set to max I can barely hear other person that too from same location. I am inside my office and not on the street or other noisy location.

  • My iphone 4S is completely dead-can not turn it on and no indication on charging.  It is two weeks old!

    I installed the latest software update and the next day the iphone is completely dead.  It does not turn on or off.  Connected to the charger, there is no indication of charging.  I have had this iphone for about two weeks.

    Thanks for the advice.  I just went to try the hard restart and my phone came on (without the hard restart) showing 15% for battery life.  It was plugged in overnight (maybe a bad connection), but clearly something is very strange as it was fully charged as of about 4PM yesterday.  I have had an iphone for about three years (3GS) and never experienced this before.  It now seems to be charging but there is not the usual battery symbol on the screen.  I am guessing that I should somehow reload the software update (I have already done the update last Friday).  Any suggestions (or should I venture to the Apple Store just to have it checked out)?

  • I have had to restore my ipad how long does it take its only two weeks old

    i have had to restore my ipad 2 how long does it take and its only two weeks old

    Depends on what method you chose to restore, wifi or itunes. Speed of internet and of computer. Whether you're restoring to factory settings or from a backup. There are many factors involved.
    Without knowing any other info, I would plan on anywhere from 30min. to 2hrs

    My phone is loosing its charge more frequently I leave it on overnight, it's two years old.  Is there a life on the battery?

    All batteries eventually fail. Make an appointment at any Apple store & the genius bar can confirm whether your battery needs replacing or not. If it needs replacing, the genius bar can handle such.

  • It's less than three weeks old and the paint.s already flaking off..

    Imagine my embarassment! Here I am telling all my friends how great my new Macbook is---the high quality---and the mat finish "paint" is already flaking off to the left of the mouse pad. My God! It's like a bad used car! I may hate the Windows OS and love this MacBook but I had no idea that it had some sort of sprayed on finish. Now it looks like crap; it looks old, used and cheap.
    And it's not even three weeks old!
    Hmmm...has this happened to my three year old HP laptop? No. How about my four year old Gateway? No. Maybe my six month old Toshiba? Nope. Only my over priced MacBook.
    Now...why am I posting here? Because I can't get the lame on line service request system to accept my request for assistance in any mode.
    "Painted on quality"...worse than the blue screen of death.
    Since I can't get any support---the phone number doesn't offer a choice for my problem---maybe I should drive an hour to the nearest Apple store---and stand outside showing everyone who comes by what a seventeen day old MacBook looks like.
    Cheesy and disapointing....never again!
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   First Apple....Probably my last

    Listen, it really is too bad that this has reportedly happened to your new machine. I am sure that if you take it to a certified apple technician they would send it away for you to be fixed or maybe replaced. I also have dealt with APPLE CARE on the phone and they have been great, in the past. Try to phone the apple care number again and talk to a real person, forget the menu. Having said all that, I still wish that my APPLE was made in USA, even though I would have to pay more, I would.

    not normal, in my experience. i've got a T60p battery that's 5 years old and still at 80+% of design capacity.
    i'd recommend that you contact Service and inquire whether a battery replacement is an option. unless you opted for an extension, batteries carry a 1 year warranty.
