My battery isn't responding

hello!
i've been having some weird problems with my battery this last few days... i accidentaly let it drain completely and now my laptop doesn't detect it. i've tried all the updates and reseting the PMU but nothing seems to work
do you think that there is any way of fixing this?

i only have one last question... can you explain to me why batteries die? i just want to make sure that it doesn't happen again
It could be a faulty battery in the first place. Could be a circuit board failure in the battery case. Batteries are not an exact science sometimes it just happens. I am going to post some info that may help you understand batteries and their care. Thanks for the .
It is OK to leave your battery hooked to the charger most of the time. The only time I unhook mine from the charger is when I calibrate. You should calibrate your battery once a month.
The following links have good information about the MacBook and the care of it's battery.

I calibrate my battery every other month and have had no problems.

Help! My Ipod isn't responding to anything :-/ any ideas on what to do?

My Ipod isn't responding to anything. I was listening to it and then I stopped listening to it. Two hours later I tried to turn in on and it wasn't turning on. I checked to see if the hold was on, I tried holding the center button for 10 seconds. I also just charged it last night so it had full a battery. I also plugged it into my computer and it's not registering it at all. The screen is just black. I already know that i can change it to disk mode or whatever, but I can't because it won't respond to anything! Please help! I really need my Ipod! Thanks!

Try sliding the switch/hold back and forth a couple times, and then reset it 3 or 4 more times (in a row). And if that doesn't do anything, you might just have to take it to your local apple store!

My iPod touch (4th generation) isn't responding to anything I do.

My iPod touch (4th generation) isn't responding to anything I do. It's been like this since 2pm this afternoon (5 hours). On the screen, there is the Apple logo and nothing else. When I connected my iPod to the computer, iTunes didn't recognize it and my iPod didn't change at all. What should I do?

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port just in case
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

"Back to my Mac isn't working properly because your DNS server isn't responding. Contact your ISP for an alternate DNS server address, and enter it in Network Preferences".

Hi, i am trying to setup back to my mac at home but I get the error "Back to my Mac isn't working properly because your DNS server isn't responding. Contact your ISP for an alternate DNS server address, and enter it in Network Preferences".
There is no documentation on how to solve this anywhere.
I have an Arris router set to bridged mode which is connected to a 5th generation airport extreme. I have tried using the google dns servers instead of the one assigned by the cable company in the AE but I still get the same error.
Any help would be much appreciated

New to BTMM, I got stung today with the silly DNS problem message. Solution:
1) Flush DNS cache with:
dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
2)System preferences > iCloud > untick BTMM then tick it again. The warning should have disappeared.
Edit #1
Apologies for the noise. The warning has come back
Edit #2
Just found out that BTMM is not compatible with double NAT. That's not helpful.

Can i set up an iphone 3GS when my left bottom of my screen isn't responding? (Can't click on '123' button)

So I got an old iPhone 3GS from a friend.
He said he would reset it for me. He also said that sometimes the bottom of the screen isn't responding (only when you use the keyboard).
Now I'm home and I want to set-up the iphone with my icloud and such.
But I can't type my password when I'm in the first time setup on the phone.
Is it possible to do this trough iTunes?
'Cause you can't flip the keyboard on screen 90 degrees.

Can't access a website I use every day...the server where this page is located isn't responding :-(

Hi, I am trying to access the website bloglovin.com which I access everyday (as part of my job) with no problems, however, the last 2 days I have not been able to get on to the site. After waiting for ages for it to load I eventually get the message ' the server where this page is located isn't responding'. I've tried to access from both my macs and my iphone and I get the same message on all of them. Is this a problem with my mac or their server?

Thanks for your reply. I did infact get it working earlier today by putting the IP address into the browser instead of the URL and it solved the problem, however, I now have the same problem again tonight. I've tried restarting the router and it hasn't made any difference. Putting in th IP address isn't working this time either!

The bottom part of my iPod Touch screen isn't responding but I can slide to unlock the screen and slide the icons at the bottom but I just can't click on them, anyway to solve this?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IMessage on MacBook Air isn't responding

For two days now, my iMessage on my MacBook Air isn't responding. I keep trying to restart my laptop, and tried to shut down everything then start my laptop up again. I did log out of my iCloud account and log back in, and I did force quit the application as well but that didn't work either... Any suggestions?

Check your settings in System Preferences > Trackpad then select the Point & Click tab.

What does that mean when your iPod only charges when you battery dies? (meaning: when my battery isn't dead it wont charge but when the battery is dead thats the only time it will charge)

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My MacBook won't login as the keyboard isn't responding normally

On starting up my MacBook, the keyboard isn't responding correctly so I can't log in on any profile configured. The passwords are known but I don't think what is being typed is actually being recorded....
Can you help?

I've plugged an external keyboard in which works and allows me to login, but I can't see what setting(s) need to change to allow the notebook keyboard to work again.
Any ideas anyone?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Internet Explorer 11 freezes/glitches when in Anz banking website and comes up" Anz isn't responding" and then closes down.

HI,
I've been having trouble with ( IE) Internet Explorer 11 version:(11.0.9600.17207IS )-(KB2962872) for over a year on my desktop with ANZ Internet banking, when i go into this website, it freezes and comes up" Anz isn't responding"
and then inside of icon comes up "Recover Webpage" so I click that and then it comes up"Windows is checking for a solution to the problem" and then closes down.
But on my laptop I have no trouble with Anz and it has a different version:(11.0.9600.17207).
Can some one tell me what the IS is on the end of the first version mean and how can I install the version without the IS on end of number on my desktop, as this version is causing the problem.
I have been in Microsoft Community with Yaqub Khan-Microsoft Support Engineer and he recommend me come here, as we have done many steps without problem fixed.
Do you know how I can copy that info from there to here, so you can see the steps we have already done, or can you go in there and see.
Thanks
Brewy

thanks Brewy,
I thought you were Mark..... and were
using a MS internal network....(Brewy responce)-Sorry about that, that was a quote from
Mark in this section in someone's thread and answers Microsoft gave me
instructions how to get into this section, so since its the first time, was
quite sure how to go about it)
I have a vodaphone usb stick also....
they use geotracking and inject code into pages, but I don't have any problems
accessing the site form either a mobile connection or an adsl public access
network.
Do you have both your ADSL and USB
stick connected? (BREWY)-I have only one connected at one time and this has been
the case for some years without a problem, until early last
year.)
What anti-virus software and version
are you running... Is it a trial or subscribed and up to date version. You
should use only one Anti-virus product and completely uninstall any AV products
that came with your PC purchase that you do not purchase. (BREWY)-I have had
Microsoft Security Essentials-(MSE) and have had AVG and didnt fix anything.
I've got MSE also on laptop with no problems.)
Does you PC have finger print
recognition... is it turned on?( I don't have this function.)
If you do not want to pursue the
problem any further, you can uninstall the Windows update
(Windows>Update>View Installed Updates) and remove that KB update, and
wait until the IETeam or Windows teams release the next update. However, not
every body is being impacted by that update item... the cause is more likely to
be your computer's configuration and third party software that you have
installed. (I've uninstalled/installed IE11 about 6 times to see if it hasn't
configured properly and problem consist, it would be good if there was a program
to see diagnose exactly what the problem is. If I could get the version without
the (IS)on the end, it should fix the problem, its just trying to find out what
installed update will take it back to the IE11 version on my
laptop.)
