My mac no longer saves its state when the battery runs out.. ??

Earlier when My mac drained it's battery & was not plugged in, it would give me a warning then save it's state & shut down.... Now 1 1/2 years into my Macbook Pro 17" intel it turns off but doesn't save my state, so anything not saved is lost.. (basically as if the power was pulled ) is there a setting for this ? or is my battery no longer performing well enough for my mac to safely save it's state before it turns off ?
Anyone ?
Cheers Tom....

  • Why does my iphone take so long to turn back on when the battery runs out?

    Ok, granted, I am guilty of not always plugging my iphone in when it gives me the low battery warning. But why does it take SOOOO long to get enough charge to turn back on? If apple is taking suggestions, then my suggestion is that you should just be able to plug it in and it should be ready to use within a minute, like other cell phones. I've had my battery die mid phone call, and then had to wait for it to get enough charge to call back. I know its maybe only about 5-7 minutes but that seems like forever to return a dropped call. Does this happen to anyone else or is something wrong with my phone? Any suggestions?

    Apple set the default to 10 minutes before you can use the iPhone. After 2 minutes you'll get an image of the low battery. It's in the iPhone Users Guide, page 49.

  • Memory content lost when the battery runs down

    My computer sometimes saves memory content when the battery runs down, as it is supposed to, so that when it restarts it is restored to the state it was in,  but at other times it does not.
    Is there a way to find out why this is and fix it?

    Thanks for the reply.
    Doesn't Apple recommend that you do exercise the battery by using its full capacity? They even recommend running it down from full until the computer saves the contents of memory to the special file, then leaving it 5 hours before charging fully again.
    I have never heard of the 20% threshold before.
    The odd behaviour in my case is that the computer sometimes does what is should: saves the memory then shuts down and when started restores that data, but at others does not save the data first, and starts up normally when I plug in the power and switch on.

  • When the license run out.

    Hi. I was wondering what happens when the license runs out for the Nokia 5800 maps application?
    Will i loose all the functionality or merely the "extra" functions (Walk, drive).
    Will i still be able to use the maps and search functions without a license? 

    you will be able to use maps but witouth the voice guidance and the 'extras' as you said. you can continue to update maps with the newest releases etc. or you can also opt to purchase an extension for the maps you have its your call. 
    You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

  • Playlist disappears when the battery runs down ...

    Anyone experienced this? The battery runs flat, then when you recharge, the playlist is empty, and it's impossible to use the iPod. But when you connect it to a computer ... any computer, using a USB ... bingo! Back comes the playlist! Lesson? Don't let the battery die down. But this is kind of hard to control.

    Thanks for the reply.

  • Lost my iPod, remotely locked it through iCloud. What happens when the battery goes out?

    Hello!
    I lost my Ipod, but managed to locate and lock it remotely through Find my iPod and iCloud. It was located once, but hasn't been located again in the last four days. I think the battery may have run out. What happens when the battery is charged and the iPod turned back on? Does the lock and everything else that can be controlled with Find my iPod still apply?
    Thank you!

    Yes, because when you remotely lock the iPod via Find my iPod, the lock code is set as the lock code that you would use to unlock the iPod if you used a passcode normally. As long as the iPod is still connected to your Apple ID, Find my iPod should work as log as the iPod is connected to wifi.

  • My macbook pro simply dies when the battery runs low

    I've got a MBP, running 10.6, and as of a few months ago, whenever the battery gets low to just a few percent, the computer simply shuts off.  It used to go to sleep, which would allow me to plug it in and restore to where I was when it went into standby.  It doesn't do that now, just a hard shut down and I've lost anything that was open.  Any ideas how I can correct this and get my computer to sleep instead of dying?  Thank you

    It's getting low but not that low,
    Try this:
    Note: MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SM

  • How long can the iPhone 3GS record video before the battery runs out?

    My father invested in an iPhone 3GS Tripod adapter for his tripod, for some conferences and lectures. He has a 16GB 3GS, which will record about 8.6 hours, according to another thread I've read about on here. But he doesn't really want to bring the USB/Adapter cable with him, and have to worry about finding a power outlet. Assuming his phone is on full charge, and bluetooth/wifi are shut off, and brightness is kept a bit dim (not too dim) - can anyone give me a round about answer of how long the it will record video before the battery dies? This function is today, so timing is critical. I will have him take the charger/usb with extension cable just in case. I'd appreciate anyones input

    Not sure if the battery will die before or after your done recording on the iPhone.But most sites are claiming that you can record up to 2GB per video.I just recorded a one minute clip,and it rounded off to about 34MB.So if you devide that,it rounds off to around an hour of recording video...But take that with a grain of salt,I'm not good with math lol

  • Mail forgets passwords for acct's when iBook battery runs out . . . why?

    Recently, the last couple times our iBook G4 battery runs out, certain settings disappear (clock resets, Mail acc't passwords gone . . .)
    We have about 4 mail acc'ts with passwords that have somehow been forgotten by Mail (Keychain issue?) that seem to be related . . . any ideas on a way to find our Mail password pref's again?
    Much appreciated,
    J & G

    Oh, guess what . . . just quit Mail, and restarted it . . . now messages are being retrieved . . . problem solved!

  • Macbook Air (11 inch) does NOT go in hibernation mode when battery runs out

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my new Macbook Air. When the battery runs out to 0% it does NOT go into hibernation mode, it just turns itself off and all my data is lost. It never happened to my old 2008 Macbook Air!
    I have all updates, the 1.4Ghz Macbook with 4GB RAM upgrade in case that matters. Hope anyone can help? Is there perhaps a setting where I can set at which Percentage (%) the Macbook should go into hibernation? Thanks in advance!

    Noone knows a solution? I also still have problems with my Macbook not waking up properly (like everyone else). The main problem is, however, that it SHUTS down when the battery is empty and does not hibernate!
    And I can't install the MacBook Air Late 2010 Software Update 2.0 - I always get this message: "MacBook Air (Late 2010) Software Update can’t be installed on this disc. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
    - The update also does not show up in Software Update, I had to download it manually!
    And I believe its NOT because I have 10.6.6 because I have talked to others who have the same problem under 10.6.5!

  • My MB dies when battery runs out, instead of sleeping

    Hi
    My AL MB 2.4 simply dies when the battery runs out, rather than going to sleep like all my other Apple notebooks. When I plug it in and hit the power button, a graduated progress bar appears at the bottom center of the screen - not something I have seen before.
    What can I do?

    That's normal deep sleep. You are getting the progress bar because it has to restore the session. It isn't the same as shutting down.

  • When i buy a iphone should i charge it when i open it or use it until the battary runs out and then charge it?

  • When my 3Gs runs out of battery i get a 'no sim' message and cannot make/recieve calls

    When my battery runs out , when I restart my phone it says that there is no sim card in the phone!

    My boss was upgraded to an iPhone 4S from an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0.1
    Prior to the handset swap, he reset all settings from the device. Despite doing this, the old handset continues to receive iMessages which were associated with his iMessage account (presumably his AppleID).
    Shouldn't resetting the phone in this fashion have resolved the issue?
    The owner of the phone mentioned in this article completed a remote lock/wipe of her phone, and it seems to have exhibited similar behaviour:

    Has anyone found a reliable method for ensuring that iMessages won't be delivered to a lost/stolen/replaced device?

  • I have a Mac OSX 10.6.8 and I can no longer "save to iphoto" when photos come by email.

    I have a Mac OSX 10.6.8 and I can no longer "save to iPhoto " when I get photos on email.

    What changed, before you could no longer save image attachments to iPhoto?
    Did you install new software or upgrade to newer versions?  Which version of iPhoto are you using?
    The "Save to iPhoto" feature has been missing for some iPhoto versions. I do not remember exactly when it vanished, but it is back with iPhoto 9,6 and MacOS X 10.10.2.
    As  a work-around - you can drag photo attacuments from your mail to the iPhoto icon in the Dock to save them to iPhoto.

  • How do you save "game state" so the user can continue next time?

    I'm not sure what the correct game terminology is for this, but how do you save "game state" so the user can continue next time?
    This seems like a pretty important feature for building some games, we don't want users to have to start over everytime.
    Any ideas if this is possible?

    Check out my blog post on the PersistenceManager:
    http://www.unitedmindset.com/jonbcampos/2010/11/01/flex-4-5-persistencemanager/
    This will help you understand how to store the data. When the app starts up again get the state information from the persistencemanager and reset you game to the state you need. It requires a bit of code for the startup, but it is relatively simple.
