My rechargable batteries are needing charging every few days.

Hi All
I have recently moved over to the official apple rechargable batteries and purchased at my local apple store.
First off i charged a set of batteries for my apple wireless keyboard which lasted a good two to three weeks.
After this they only seem to last for a couple of days with light use?
This cant be right can it?
I have tried charging them overnight three days ago and today i have the "keyboards battery very low" message.
Im thinking of returning them for another set, what do you think?
Best Regards

The lockup is across all devices??
Are any still working when the computer say is unable to connect?
It could be the latest firmware that is the problem.. that changed about 1-2months ago.
You can try doing a factory reset and a new clean setup but more than likely the issue will continue.
To go back to earlier firmware hold down the option key when you choose firmware. It will then show older as well as new versions.. Select 7.6.1 or even 7.5.2
Factory reset after the firmware and do the setup again.

  • Pages from App Store needs reinstalling every few days???

    I purchased Pages 09 through the Mac App Store a few weeks ago. Every few days I discover that I cannot save work in Pages, the app thinks I have an unlicensed version and need to purchase a key to use it. I start the Mac App Store and it shows Pages as needing to be installed, although it already is. Why does this process keep repeating itself, and how can I resolve the issue once and for all?
    FYI, I have deleted the app twice and then reinstalled it via the MAS, and still the issue persists. Thank you for any suggestions you may have.

    Here is what happens:
    I purchased Pages 09 on my MacBook Air shortly after the Mac App Store opened. I have also installed a second instance of it, via the MAS on my desktop machine. The desktop instance runs without problems, but the MacBook Air copy does not. Every few days, when I open the Pages application and attempt to save work I am doing, a prompt pops up to say that I need to PURCHASE a key to be able to save work, suggesting that I am just using a demo, when in fact I did buy this copy. I do not remember whether or not the MacBook had a DEMO of Pages installed on it prior to buying it through the MAS, but that may have been. If so, this is likely causing some confusion. Surely there is a way to remedy this problem? I can't keep reinstalling Pages twice a week in order to use it on the MacBook Air!
    And yes, I have deleted the Pages application (dragged into the Trash and emptied Trash) before reinstalling via the MAS, and that did not fix the problem.

  • Time Capsule stops working, needs restart every few days

    Its a brand new 2TB Time Capsule, I've had it maybe 2 weeks.  I'm new to Mac, I got a Retina MBP for myself and one for my wife.  It normally works great but lately the icon at the top bar has had an exclamation point showing it couldnt back up.  No matter what I do I cant make it find the disk.  I'll go upstairs and feel the Time Capsule and I can tell the drive is no spinning.  Its like it spins down and never starts up again.  I have to restart the Time Capsule and then it starts working again.  This has happened twice in the last week.  I cant find any real settings other than Airport Utility or Time Machine settings.  Any help would be great!

    This is an issue that started with Lion and is even worse on Mountain Lion... so there are no easy solutions..
    Reboot you are doing is the easiest..
    But you can read the instructions.. you can load airport utility 5.6 if you still use Lion and disconnect all users.. that usually gets things going again. Unfortunately apple eliminated that option from the toyland version in ML and did not make 5.6 available to install.

  • New AirPort Extreme w/ Time Machine disk crashes every few days

    I bought an AirPort Extreme base station about a month ago. It's currently in bridge mode, connected to my U-Verse residential gateway, and has a 1 TB hard drive attached to it that I use for Time Machine backups. The drive is formatted HFS+ and both computers that connect to the AirPort are MacBooks. Every few days, usually overnight, Time Machine will stop working, saying that it cannot connect to the backup disk. If I try to access the shared disk in FInder, it times out. The Internet connection works fine and if I go into the AirPort Utility, it shows up. But if I click on "Manual Setup," it will time out. If I try to restart the router from the menu bar option, it will time out. The only way to fix it is to manually unplug the router and restart it that way. Is anyone else having a similar issue, or know how to prevent it?

    I hate to have to tell you this, but backing-up that way is "iffy" and +*not supported by Apple.+* See Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

    Yup, that's the sort of thing that happens sometimes in this scenario.
    You might be able to improve that by, of all odd things, changing some names. See #P1 in the same place.
    Another possibility is the external HD going to sleep and not waking up quickly enough. Check with the maker for firmware updates or ways to adjust it's sleep (or "spin down") performance.

    That, I suspect, is a different problem (and mostly out of my area).
    But this Apple article may be helpful: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
    Hopefully one of the networking gurus, such as Tesserax or Bob Timmons, will have more insight.

  • My host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

    my host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

    There are several possible causes for this problem.
    1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local".
    2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
    3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
    4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
    5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
    6. See also this support article.
    Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

    Try a SMC reset:

    Have you checked the connections from the power adapter to the MBP?  Note the pins in the power adapter are spring loaded.  See if they are free.  Are the connections discolored?
    Have you checked the battery status?  Open System Profiler or System Information and look at this display:

  • I need to share a file with sec.(windows based). She uses it all the time. I need to just download updated version every few days. I have an old airport extreme and was hoping to attach an external drive. Will this work?

    I need to download an updated version of a file every few days to use. My secretary  works on the file all the time. I thought i could use my old airport extreme and attach an external HD and set up a network to do just this. At work we alll use pc's. How can i make this work? At the moment we use usb stick to transfer which is getting to be a bit of a pain as the file grows every week. Presently 5GB.

    I thought i could use my old airport extreme and attach an external HD and set up a network to do just this.
    Yes, you can use either the 802.11g or 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) to attach an external USB HDD for file sharing. Either AEBS model would allow you to share out this HDD to either Macs or PCs. From the PC, the shared HDD would appear as a network drive which you can map via Windows Explorer.

  • What should I do to keep icons from disappearing from the navigation toolbar every few days? These are icons I dragged to the toolbar from the Customize screen.

    I have several icons on the navigation toolbar that I dragged from the Customize screen. Every few days these icons disappear. In order to get them back, I have to drag them again from the Customize screen. How can I keep this from happening? I'm using Firefox 8.0.1, but the same thing happened in earlier versions.

  • Late 2012 iMac Freezes every few days

    My iMac has been in the Apple Store for a week with the Geniuses and they came back saying they couldn't find anything so putting this out to this community in the hope someone else can help. Here are the details.
    Model: 21.5 inch Late-2012 iMac
    RAM: 8Gb
    Processor: 2.9Ghz Intel Core i5
    Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB
    Hard Drive: 1.12 Tb Fusion (653Gb free)
    OS: 10.8.4
    Software: Fairly vanilla with no MS or Adobe Apps. No system extensions or hacks installed.
    Symptom: Every few days or so the iMac locks up. Certain running applications will still work but many common ones such as Pages, Aperture, App Store & TextEdit will hang when trying to open. Force Quitting them doesn't affect them. When I try to shut down the computer it goes to the grey screen and stays there. Eventually the power needs to be turned off to reboot it. This has been doing this for the last several months.
    Solutions Tried:
    - Fixed permissions
    - Reset PRAM
    - Re-install OS X
    I can't replicate the crash but today it happened again. At around 3:50pm I went to the iMac and noticed that Pages wouldn't load. Force quitting the App didn't do anything. Aperture was not responding so force quit that. Still wouldn't re-open. Mail was working fine and I was able to send a test message. Safari worked fine. Launched System Preferences ok but could not launch TextEdit or App Store. Calendar opened and closed fine. Attempted to restart the Mac but got the grey screen and after 5 minutes of waiting turned the computer off & relaunched it.

    Notice that the last Console entry was at 2:47pm (in red) and then nothing. I went to use the computer at 3:50pm and did several actions on it. Plugged in iPad, opened iTunes. Copied a file from the iPad to the desktop. Prior to that it hadn't been used for several hours. The shutdown that I selected does not appear in the log (although it only managed to go to the grey screen rather than complete a full shut down).
    Appreciate any clues at all here. This is very frustrating and has been going on for far too long.
    TIA. Jordan

  • Re-license every few days

    I recently purchased CC and I'm being constantly nagged about licensing my product.  It's been licensed for the better part of a month, but every few days I get a pop-up that says that I have 0 days left and I need to buy or license.  I click license and it checks with momma and says I'm OK.  In a day or two we'll go thru this drill again.  After a month of this it's getting really irritating ... REALLY irritating!  Anybody know what's up?

  • IChat AV 3.1.9 Keeps Wanting Setup at startup every few days--Why?

    I have three Macs and all are setup using mobile accounts so that my data on each machine is pretty much identical; however, my office machine does not have an iSight for video chat, whereas, my home and laptop both do. My User/Library does not sync, but everything else does. Any ideas why iChat AV wants me to run setup every few days?

    What does happen when you try to synch the Library ?
    The Library has a Sub folder for Preferences.
    It hold amoungst other things the iChat .plists Removing all of these will get iChat to Redo the Start Up Screens.

  • Cookies every few days makes a *.bak file and starts anew (win7-64 with FF33)

    Upgraded from FF5.1 to FF33. Only problem was black screen, fixed with hardware switch. Cookies are somehow storing a backup file every few days, and starting new file. Checked cookie settings and same as used in FF5.1
    Last night hand purged about 2/3 of cookie file using FF33. File size didn't change (about 1534K)
    Manually restored cookie BAK file twice, without problem.

    Do you have security software or cleanup software that might be causing this and is cleaning out the cookies?
    It is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies got corrupted.
    *Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
