My battery was at 11 hours per cycle. Now i only have 4 hours since i downloaded os x maverick am i the only one who has this problem or could it be a malware

My battery was at 11 hours per cycle. Now i only have 4 hours since i downloaded os x maverick is this just my computer or could it be a malware.

Actually coconut battery works perfectly fine for Mavericks, many pro-users on this board are using same with Mavericks, so, incorrect.
I have done exhaustive testing on same on several diff. Macs with Mavericks
SMC reset will show correct battery reading for a short while, however no, "time remaining" is NOT correct currently, and techs. are working on this occurrence.    Your experience with Mac has no bearing whatsoever on current time remaining indicator with Mavericks.
Endless testing shows that accurate time remaining will present itself, for a short time, after a SMC reset, but this is often very short lived.
The quickest methodology to FAULT this reading is to open a high task APP (photoshop, video feed, flash, etc.)
See post on page 10 of this thread.
*Further testing on 3 machines 2 days ago have shows that if a wake from sleep is induced, the "time remaining" on a 50-60% charge will show "20 hours remaining" on 2 diff. macbook Air 2013 13" I5 (very inaccurate of course)
Battery APPS used were:
1. Mavericks resident batt. indicator.
2. coconut battery (coconut doesnt estimate time however but mAh)
3. Battery time v 2 (mAh and % remaining, not time remaining)
4. Battery APP "fruit juice"
*For those receiving ACTUAL LESS battery life, other variables are in play
Happily however, my ACTUAL TIME on a full charge on 2 diff. Air (mine and a borrow) has increased an average of 25%

  • I can't be the only person who has this problem - when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that

    I can't be the only person who has this problem with iCal- when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that.

    Yeah that works, but, it involves a click on the event, a click on edit, a click on the date, keystrokes, plus, since you can't see the next month you have to have a calendar in front of you so as to put it to the right date. It's easier just to cut it and advance the month and paste it, once you are in the right month you can move it around helter skelter willy nilly no problems. Although now that you mention it I will try it, maybe it is easier than cut and paste as I don't really care about the date, as long as it gets moved into the right month I can drag it around all I want.

  • I submitted an email but the auto response indicates I have to wait up to 48 hours for a response.  Am I the only one who thinks this is ridiculous???

    Why isn't there a phone number for iTunes Support?  My only iTunes Support contact option is email.  I submitted an email but the auto response indicates I have to wait up to 48 hours for a response!  Am I the only one who thinks this is ridiculous???

    oh whoops i forgot to tell you, i didn't actually find apple's number, although i think they have one.........what i did was i went onto the express lane and when through a series of steps and typed in my phone number and it was SUPER fast. It scared me that as soon as i pressed enter, not more than 30 seconds later, my phone started ringing. But that's the one you have to pay for.....

  • HT201413 when i installed itunes in my old computer it would disable my CD burner and I was only able to burn through itunes. has this problem been resloved or will i have the same problem when i download it into my new computer?

    When I installed itunes into my old computer (loaded with Windows Vista) it deleated my CD burner and would only allow me to burn via itunes - I had to go in to Best Buy to have them fis the problem but was told not to download new updates for itunes or it would do the same. with this fix I am not able to burn CDs from itunes which is a bummer.  If I download itunes onto my new  computer (loaded with Windows 7) is it going to do the same thing or has  this problem been resolved?

    Copy them from your old computer, or your backuo copy of your old computer. to your new one.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  the exception is itunes purchases.

  • HT1688 I am having issues get my email in one of my mail accounts so I tried to "DELETE" the whole account.  But my phone will not delete a mail account.  And the phone is getting really hot and battery was full 2 hours ago and now at 25%.

    I am having issues get my email in one of my mail accounts so I tried to "DELETE" the whole account.  But my phone will not delete a mail account.  And the phone is getting really hot and battery was full 2 hours ago and now at 25%.

    Well, you don't say what happens when you try to delete the account. So I don't know what else to recommend. However, if your phone is not charging, is that the mains charger or the computer USB? Also, if it not showing any change to battery percentage, then something is wrong with the software. The next step in user troubleshooting after the reset is a restore from backup. However, considering the condition of the phone right now, I would be more than willing to say your backup is going to be corrupt. But you can try. If that does not fix the device, then you restore as new, not from a backup. If the phone works, then you can try restoring the backup again, but if it messes up, you are going to have to restore as new again. If the restore as new does not work, then you need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get the hardware checked.

  • Firefox was working on my new iMac but then, after switching on recently, won't connect to the web – whereas Safari has no problem.

    Hi
    I bought an iMac a week ago and installed Firefox via Safari. It worked fine for a while but, after a recently switching on, it won't connect to the web whereas Safari has no problems.
    I've tried following the Firefox Help, looking into the iMac firewall, but still no luck.
    I've no idea whether related or not but yesterday I had a system glitch where the iMac stated no wi-fi was installed and only connected via a physical lead to my house router. Also, there was no sound output via Safari. However, after booting up today all seems well – apart from Firefox still not working. It loads the start page but can't access the web.
    I have Little Snitch running, and wonder if that's the culprit... but it's working fine with Safari, seemingly.
    (Finally, how do I stop a dialogue box appearing on start-up saying that "To open “X” you need a Java runtime. Would you like to install one now?)
    Any ideas anyone?
    Cheers

    On the wireless networks that your Mac has had trouble connecting to, do you know which Wireless Security type (WEP, WPA, or WPA2) is being used?
    If it is WEP, one of the problems is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.   In order to make things easier, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice versa.   You may find the following Apple Support article helpful.

  • How to find the user ID who has deleted the Cycle count document?

    I am interested in knowing how we can know the User ID who has deleted the Inventory Cycle count document deleted using LI02N. I have checked the table LINV and also in the storage bin Inventory data. But in storage bin inventory data only counter name is captured if it is assigned during activation of inventory cycle count document. But it may not be necessary that counter has to delete the inventory document.
    Kindly advice me how can I get to know who has deleted the Inventory Cycle count document.
    Thanks in advance,

    no way to ffind this
    Have you tried with  AUT10  ??

  • I was just told ML could not be installed because apple HD is broken and could not be repaired. I never had any problem ever to suggest a broken HD, on my 2 yr. old mac pro. 10.6.8. Any one else having this problem? Will I get a refund,  if so how?

    I have a 2009 MAC PRO 10.6.8. Had never had any problems. Tried installing Mountain Lion today. Was told, " Mountain Lion could not be installed because Hard Disk is broken"!
    Is it because HD is broken or perhaps incompatible? Has any one else had this problem? I had no symptoms suggestive of a broken HD. Will I get reimbursed if ML could not be installed? If so what do I have to do?
    How can I verify the status of the HD, in absence of symptoms for my own information?

    The solution to your problem is rather simple
    1: Get a external hard drive and use Disk Utility to format it with a GUID partition map and OS X extended Journaled.
    2: Export your browser bookmarks and any other needed data to a file,. Copy your User data folders of Music, Pictures etc over to the external  drive via drag and drop copy methods, disconnect the drive.
    I don't advise using TimeMachine at this point since your boot drive is messed up, thus so will be your TM drive, just transfering the problem later on back to the new install. We are proceeding with a "Fresh install" method to eliminate as many issues as possible which a TM restore can return to a new OS X install.
    3: Next you will need to follow these instructions to zero erase (important) and install 10.6 fresh, use the same named account (different password ok)
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    4: Before you return files or install programs, Software Update fully and use the AppStore to install 10.8, this way it will be on a fresh 10.6 install, free of issues.
    5: Install any and all 10.8 compatible programs as much as possible before returning your User files, this is a performance measure.
    If you need too, use this site to find one's that are 10.8 compatible.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    6: Last install your user files from the external drive backup into their respective Music, Pictures, Movies etc., folders, into the same named accounts so you preserve your iTunes playlists. When you open those programs, they will update their respective support files automatically.

  • HT202667 I did not do my research before changing my Apple ID from an outdated email address to a current one. I just changed and verified and though I was all set. WRONG! Now I cannot sign in to iCloud because it will not let me enter the new Apple ID! H

    I did not do my research before changing my Apple ID from an outdated email address to a current one. I just changed and verified and though I was all set. WRONG! Now I cannot sign in to iCloud because it will not let me enter the new Apple ID. I read the 10/30/13 randers4 post to just change your Apple ID back then sign in and change it to the new email address again and then you can sign in, but I cannot change back to the prior email address Apple ID because that is no longer an active email account (or at least not mine). Any thoughts on how to get signed into iCloud when it does not allow me to type in the new Apple ID and the old Apple ID no longer exists.
    I see that many people have asked, but no one has come up with a solution that I found.
    Thanks for any help!

    This did not work for me.  My old email account for iCloud still pops up on my screen every time I open my macbook.  I've deleted it, reset it, every thing I can think of and it still shows up.  I think six months of this is more than enough time to wait.

  • I just got a warranty replacement for my touch gen4.I didn't do anykind of backup other than my usal sync with itunes.  WHat do I have to do to get itunes to sync everything back like the old one?  I was planning for a repair not a replacement.

    I didn't do any kind of backup other than my usal sync with itunes.  What do I have to do to get itunes to sync everything back like the old one?  I was planning for a repair not a replacement.  I'm afraid to plug the new one in to my pc until I know what I need to do.

    You can restore from the backup of the old one.

  • When I got a new iPhone5, I experienced short battery life, and system sofware issues were not the cause. The camera also takes a blury picture regardless of lighting and I have the black one. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

    When I got a new iPhone5, I experienced short battery life, and system sofware issues were not the cause. The camera also takes a blury picture regardless of lighting and I have the black one. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

    What makes you so sure it isn't software?
    The camera can be focused by take the point of focus on the touch screen.
    If it is new as you said, it should be under warranty. Make a Genius Bar appointment or contact Apple with a repair request.

  • I was in full screen mode and now that I have exited, the main toolbar for Safari is gone.  So please don't say go to View.  Each time I click off of safari to the desktop, it shows me the Finder Toolbar.  I have opened and closed Safari many many times.

    No no, if you read what I said, it would be that each individual display would be customizable to the user. The way you have it, it sounds like your second display will be dedicated to scrolling through fullscreen apps not allowing you to do it on the home screen. This is silly because with my concept, you could do that, by dragging apps to fullscreen in your second display, but if you want you could tell another display to scroll through fullscreen apps (independently) if you wanted. Each display will have it's own mission control with it's own set of desktops. I also can see how some people would still want them linked together, so this could just be a little check box made in mission control prefs to "link" or "unlink" desktops with link checked by default.
    With your solution you're limited to your setup. but what if the person has three or four displays? Well then your solution would limit them to one dedicated display that scrolls through fullscreen apps where mine lets a person customize their desktops depending on their preference and setup.
    further example: if you have safari, address book and mail in one display, you could still have ichat, PS and Illustrator in your second, and a text editor, FTP Client and iTunes in your third. Then you would mix and match these apps but it would promote the use of mulitple displays as well as benefit people with three or more, which thunderbolt, Cinema Display and Pro computers support.

  • Was listening to music downloaded on iTunes.  All of the sudden one song on the album is not authorized?

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser. Bookmarks, history, addons will not be deleted unless you check to do so on uninstall.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • I bought Iphone 3G 6 weeks ago , noticed that battery was low so recharged phone and now it will not turn on.  I was told to hold top button and front button down together and hold but still nothing??????

    My Iphone G is 6 weeks old.  Yesterday I plugged in phone, battery was at a little less than half and when I went to use it this morning, there was nothing. I held down the top button and the apple icon would come up but then a few seconds later screen was black again.  Did this again and same thing.  Tried holding both buttons, top and front and then now there is nothing at all????????????

    The iPhone 3G has not been offered for sale for over a year. How can it only be 6 weeks old?
    Where did you get this phone?

  • Battery was low. comp shut off and now won't turn onn

    My Macbook had a low battery, I closed the cover, plugged in the AC and the light on the AC adapter won't come on. Computer won't turn on.
    Sounds like alot of peeps have power issues.
    Please help

    Hi Mark!
    So to clarify the steps performed...
    1. You've reset the SMC (unsuccessful)
    2. You're unable to power the machine with just battery and no A/C
    3. You're unable to power the machine with battery and A/C
    4. You're unable to power the machine with just A/C and no battery
    If all four of those above scenarios are true, then it's fairly safe to assume there's a power issue either with the inverter inside the machine or a combination of the power flow that occurs between wall - MagSafe - battery - machine.
    Unfortunately, there's no way to "reset" the power adapter. You can however try a different outlet somewhere else in your current location or somewhere totally different. If you're not hooking up directly to a surge protector you could possibly have "dirty power" which can cause power issues.
    What is the warranty status on your machine? Is it covered by the one-year limited? Or did you purchase AppleCare and are you within the 3-year term? This definitely sounds like it could end up in a service call.
