My battery drains really quickly after upgrading to OS X Yosemite

I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite.   After doing so, my battery drains VERY quickly. About 1 percent per minute.   Is there any fix for this?   Can I roll back my OS?

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:

Why iPad mini battery drain so quickly in sleep mode? about 35% in 7 days sleep mode (100% to 65%). Compare with my iPad 2, 7 days in sleep mode, only 2%! (100 - 98%). is it because differences in iOS? iPad mini iOS 6.0.1, iPad 2 iOS 4.3.3. I'm really frustating because of this. thanks for help

What kind of ipad mini / ipad 2 you got?
AFAIK,
1. ipads drain battery with 3g/4g on (regardless on wifi or not) 1% overnight.. so for 7 days .. 65 is about correct.
2. Are your ipads setup to receive remote push notification? (more push = more battery drain.. as the screen lit up)
3. With iOS 6 vs iOS 4 .. there are more stuff running in the background and more toggles.. that could also contribute to battery drain.

The sync icon is constantly on-screen and battery is draining really quickly.

The sync icon is constantly on-screen and my battery is draining really quickly. I can stop it by re-starting the iPhone, but is this a known problem? The sync and iCloud seem to be working properly, but I can see the battery drop by about 1% every minute.
Sync is taking place over wireless, but even if I sync using the cable, the icon remains on-screen even when iTunes tells me that the sync is complete.

Yes, iOS4, latest and a 3GS.
So, with the home button double-tap, those two apps aren't showing in the recents list?
Nope, not showing: http://d.pr/CQnR

Did you reset like this?... press the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Did that as well, still the problem remains.
I don't know if I should really bother but I just find it weird and I think it has a slight impact on the battery time.

There are two different types of adapters by Apple that look similar. One is a 5 Watt adapter used with iPhones and iPods. The other is a 10 Watt adapter used with the iPad. Other than looking at the text on the adapter, which is hard to read, you can tell the different by looking at the socket the pin part plugs into the adapter. The 5 Watt has two notches and the 10 Watt has only one notch.
Make sure you use the 10 Watt adapter with an iPad.

My iPad battery getting low quickly when im playing games. What should i do ?

My iPad battery getting low quickly when im playing games. What should i do ?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

IPhone 5 battery drains very quickly

I've had an iPhone 5 for about a year and a half and it all of a sudden started draining really quickly. Without using it outside of a few texts, it is at 50% by noon. With use, it easily completely drained by then. Also, I have noticed a few odd things regarding charging my phone: I receive a "this accessory is not meant for this device and may not charge" error and when plugged into my car charger, it alternates between charging and not charging rapidly, just making the battery drain even faster. I replaced the car charger, and no longer have this problem, but recently had the same problem when trying a new external portable charging source. I've stopped using the particular cord that gave me the error, and think this has solved the problem. Just mentioning both these issues as I've never had problems with them before.
Here are the things I've tried to fix the problem:
Tested battery at Apple. First time was deemed okay, the next week they said it was borderline failing (80%).
Replaced the battery by buying a battery online ($25, and relatively well rated). Continued to see problems.
Updated settings (remove location services, switch off bluetooth and wifi, turn off push for all email accounts, you name it I've tried it). Although I tried these things, I did have a phone with all these settings turned on for a year and a half and still had a battery that would last me through the day, so I don't think settings alone are the problem.
Restored phone to factory settings (not to previous iphone back up). This was to address any software bugs that could be causing the problem.
Replaced battery with a second battery bought online (bought the highest rated battery I could find).
Took phone into iPhone repair store. They looked at the inside of the phone and said it looked good. Replaced battery again.
After all of this, my battery still drains super quickly. I do not think it the battery since I've replaced it three times and don't think it is the software since I did a restore to factory settings.
Does anyone have any idea what it could be? I've tried everything I could think of and need to squeeze another 5 months out of this phone until I'm eligible for the upgrade. Right now I have an external battery pack, but this is a bit of a pain to charge and carry around.
A friend of a friend has had some similar issues and they said they had the lightning connector replaced, and it solved the problem. Anyone have any experience with this?
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have been round and round with Apple "geniuses" trying to resolve battery drainage issues. I have turned off all kinds of background programs, reset the phone and even did a full restore. Nothing worked. The end result was an Apple senior technician just giving up and telling me that the battery life I'm getting is "good." I don't see how that's the case since I used to go to work, use my phone and come home with battery power still in the 70s or 60s if I was really active. Now with most everything turned off, I come home with battery power in the 30s and sometimes even the 20s, just barely hanging on to operational status. I now have to carry my charger around with me and charge this hunk of junk every opportunity I get. The diagnostic on the battery shows it to be fine which is not surprising considering I take very good care of my phone. I had no issues until installing that battery sucking virus known as iOS 8.1. I am so utterly disappointed with Apple that I will never buy any of their junk products again. I am especially angry at being told that the life I'm getting is somehow "good." I imagine that no one actually tested iOS 8.1 before rolling it out. They finished the last line of code and immediately issued it to the public. My interactions with Apple Support confirm that they only care about people who have purchased their latest product. Have an iPhone 5? Too bad! You need to get the iPhone 6 to continue enjoying your Apple experience. Screw their overpriced crap.

My iPad2 battery drains very quickly - why

My iPad2's battery drains very quickly - I have removed al Notifications; On my mail set up I have selected "Off" for fetch new data - It drains even while it is in sleep mode. I definitely don't get anywhere close to 10 hours of battery life. What else should I be doing?

Why is my battery draining so quickly after updating to Mavericks?

Why is my battery draining so quickly after updating to Mavericks?

1. Check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
2. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.9 or later.
3. You can also try resetting the SMC.
4. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
5. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

Why is my battery drained so quickly on my 4S?

Why is my battery drained so quickly on my 4S, even though I don't use apps/Internet excessively. It says it should last 6 hours using the Internet.

I had my iPhone use 20% of power an hour before I did the following.
1.) Turn off iAds and diagnostics in location settings:system settings.
2.) Turn off Calender in Notifications
3.) If you have any exchange mail accounts ( I had 3 Gooogle accounts one set for mail and calendar, 2 set for mail only. remember when setting Google server m.google.com or it won't push to the phone.) delete them REBOOT your iPhone then redo them then Reboot one more time.
Result: iPhone batt usage is now 4% an hour. my phone went for 19 hours with moderate (streaming, surfing, recording and viewing movies on camera app) on wifi use before getting to 5%

Battery drains off quickly with micro SD card‎

Hi ,
   My battery drains off quickly with micro SD card. This problem started a few days back when all of a sudden my micro SD card got corrupted while my cell was connected to laptop with the USB cord. It all of a sudden displayed message that there is some issue with the micro SD card and it needs to be formated. Unwillingly i had to format my micros SD card, clearing all my data and then it worked fine for few days and again the same thing happened. When my cell was connected with my laptop, it showed the error message and asked for formating. So i did formating again and now i have stopped connecting my cell with laptop. After battery problem started and battery is draining off in just few hours. I think maximum 5 hours without using cell much.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I think I'd remove the Media Card, first off, and see how it goes without.

My ipad battery drains much faster after iOS 7 upgrade

my ipad battery drains 4x faster after ios7 upgrade.....how do I fix this?

Dig into your settings. iOS7 defaults a lot of stuff on that you may not need. Such as tons of notifications, background app updates, background app refresh. Turn extra stuff off and see if that helps.

Why does my battery drain so quickly on iPhone 5s?

Has anyone else found his/her battery draining more quickly than normal. I can begin the day at 100% and within an hour be down to 70% or even less. Is it the iOS 7.1.1 update? The data and wi-fi settings are on, which is the same setup as I had before on the iPhone 5, which ran on iOS 6. That battery lasted as advertised. Anyone with similar problems? Solutions?

Had you bothered to do even the most cursory search of this forum, not only would you have your answer, but you'd also come up with troubleshooting steps.
