New Apple battery for macbook only lasting half as long as my old battery.

I'm having a bit of trouble here. Last month a family member needed to leave on an emergency trip but was having battery problems and didn't have time to get a new battery before catching her flight, so I gave her mine and a day or two later went to the apple store and bought a new OEM apple battery for myself. I believe that the old battery had around 80-90% left in its life and performance from the way it would act. Unfortunately this new battery would not interface with the computer at first. I followed the apple page battery troubleshooting recommendations and ended up resetting my power service manager (sorry if I'm butchering the name here) by removing the power sources and holding the power button for 5 seconds. It fixed the interface problems and the computer now recognizes the battery just fine. However, the battery life on this new battery is pretty poor. I only get about 60 minutes of youtube video watching out of it before its done (no other applications running), or about 100 minutes of general non-streaming use. My old battery was at least double this, if not more. Does anyone have any ideas where I should look next? Here is some battery information that might help:
Model Information:
Manufacturer: DP
Device name: ASMB016
Pack Lot Code: 0002
PCB Lot Code: 0000
Firmware Version: 0110
Hardware Revision: 0500

Full charge capacity (mAh): 4935
Health Information:

Many thanks if anyone has an idea what I should do to help fix this. My Macbook has been great other than this one issue.

Have you tried calibrating your battery?

  • Why do the apple chargers for iPhones only last a month ... I'm tired of buying chargers for three apple products in my home

    Why do the iphone chargers stop working after a month of use I'm so tired of buying chargers for  supposedly the best products "APPLE" I'm getting really disturbed by it and ready to stop buying apple products 

    I'm not trying to start a fight, but perhaps it is how you are using them?  They are somewhat delicate, but if inserted and removed properly, and not overly stressed when in use, they last.  I have several that are over a year old with no problems, and I remove them daily.
    Most failures are caused by either pulling the lightning cable by the cable instead of the connector, or strain (force) at the cable terminator.  If your cables are failing that often, it may be you need to rethink when and how to use them.
    **As a point of clarification:  Are you speaking of the lightning cable?  or the charging block that plugs into the wall?**

    I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air  I can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. It keeps going back to my old apple id and doesn't afford me to alter it. I use system preferences-icloud and it just wants to verify the old apple id but doesn't afford me the opportunity to delete teh account or edit it like the iphone5 and ipad. Help?

    You need to use the sign out option on the left side.

  • I created a new Apple ID for iCloud on my iPhone, but I can't seem to find a way to "sign out" or "log out" of that Apple ID (for iCloud) to sign in with another Apple ID. The only account login I could change was the Store. How do I "log out"

    How do I "log out" or "sign out" of iCloud on my iPhone? There is an option to delete the account, but I just want to log off. I want to keep the account name for future use.

    It looks like the article below has the information you are looking for.
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Turn off iCloud completely
    Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    Note:   If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help). 
    On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
    If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.
    On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
    Note:   If you turned on automatic download of music, app, or book purchases (in iTunes preferences or in Settings on your iOS device), your iTunes purchases are still downloaded to your devices.
    Set up iCloud on your devices

  • A1321 battery for MacBook Pro Mid 2009

    So the title says it all. I have a mid 2009 15" MacBook Pro and have already purchased one faulty battery from a less than reputable site. It's just impossible to find the battery for this critter.
    Has anyone purchased an after market battery and had good luck with it? If so what company?
    I wish Apple still made batteries for this model of machine. It has a lot of life left in it.
    The battery is a 'A1321'.
    Cheers

    Thanks for all your inputs. I finally gave up searching on the web for a new generic or genuine battery a month back. While I hate paying apple prices (considering how much I have spent on apple products for the last 30 years) I finally figured this bloody mac book pro 15 has paid for it's self 1000 times over, and I didn't want to blow it up by being to much of a cheap ***. It has eaten 9 solid months of my life over the last 3 years, but allowed me knowledge untold and access in a way that is understandable to me. I paid $180 to have some quack 'authorised repairman' spend 5 minutes popping one in from apple that probably cost $17 in China to make. (I could have installed it blindfolded). I gave it a new color case and magnetic charger as well, and came to realise it had actually well earned that $300 to bring it back to life. Maybe mac machines do have a 'soul' of their own. Funny ol' world eh?

  • Creating a new apple id for my wife

    I currently have one Apple ID and run iTunes on a Windows 7 PC. This is synced to 2 iPhones, 2 iPads and 2 iPods as well as 2 Apple TV's. All the Apps purchased, updated and shared between all the devices are controlled using iTunes depending on whose iphone etc is connected.
    This has worked quite successfully till now but if we use imessage on the phones it gets very confusing and for that reason I would like to set up a new Apple ID for my wifes iPhone and iPad. What I don't understand is the implications of this with regard to all the previously purchased Apps. Will she loose access to these when I sign in on iTunes to her new Apple ID. Are there any other issues I should be aware off before going down this route. Will all my music and films still be available for her to load on her iPhone and iPad ? Any advice and help much appreciated.

    Hello Primer Driver,
    Thanks for the question, and what a great question it is.
    You are absolutely right, there are some tweaks we will want to make to continue the configuration you have right now. My recommendation? Create a new Apple ID for your Wife, but only use this Apple ID for iMessage/FaceTime.
    There are four different accounts you can be signed into on an iOS device: iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and iTunes and App Stores. Theoretically, you could be signed into four separate accounts for each of these. For your situation, your Wife would only sign into iMessage and FaceTime with her account, and continue to use the family account for iTunes and App Stores.

  • We got a new Apple TV for Christmas and it works wonderful. However, my question is this. We are on a satelitte internet system and our bandwidth is limited. Can anyone tell me what effect it will have on using up my 10 megs of bandwidth?

    We got a new Apple TV for Christmas and it works wonderful. However, my question is this. We are on a satelitte internet system and our bandwidth is limited. Can anyone tell me what effect it will have on using up my 10 megs of bandwidth? If I run over the 10 mgs, the service either slows way down until it is reset on the first of the next month or I have to purchase additional bandwidth and it can get expensive.
    Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    If you only have a 10MB limit on the Internet connection you might as well not have Internet access and certainly should not attempt to stream anything.
    If the limit is 10GB, then you will need to be careful with streaming as most video is 1-3GB for a one hour show.

  • I bought new apple tv but it only shows Computers and Settings. how can I bring up other options, specially Youtube?

    I bought new apple tv but it only shows Computers and Settings. how can I bring up other options, specially Youtube?

    Alright, I found the issue. This is how I have resolved my issue. I hope it will help you.
    1. This issue could happen, if your apple TV doesnt have internet, connectivity to iTunes servers, or you haven't logged in to iTunes account in your apple TV
    2. Test the network on apple tv - General - settings - network - test network, Try to aviod using wifi use LAN cable, since we are trying to fix the issue.
    3. Set your exact location manually - Which city you are in from settings-General - Time Zone- choose your City currently you are in.
    4. Login to iTunes account - settings- iTunes Store- set your default store - for example I am in Mongolia but using my New Zealand account on Apple TV, in our case my Apple TV iTunes account location is New Zeland.
    5. If you are facing any issues to login to your iTunes account, That explains you have an issue with connectivity back to iTune servers, or sometimes it could be apple iTune servers may have problems. To verify which is one is the problem login to your itunes on your laptop or desktop for testing purposes, make sure you are using the same internet connection as your home apple TV is using.
    6. if you are able to login you should able to see all the available channels and full list on Apple TV.
    All the best..I just saved USD 29.00 but spend 5 hours...LOL..Its ok..its my Holiday spend with Apple TV.

  • I just changed my apple ID because I needed to change my e mail account. My new ID updated on all of my devices except for iCloud on my phone. My phone however will not recognize my new Apple ID for iCloud? Any suggestions?

    I just changed my apple ID because I needed to change my e mail account. My new ID updated on all of my devices except for iCloud on my phone. My phone however will not recognize my new Apple ID for iCloud? Any suggestions?

    To change the iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the new ID.  If you only changed your ID and didn't create an entirely new ID, you can choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted.  Your data will download back to your phone when you sign back in.
    Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll before deleting the account.  Deleting the account deletes the photo stream photos from your phone.

  • My wife and my iphones are both on the same apple id.  If I create a new apple id for her, can we still share our music?

    My wife and my iphones are both on the same apple id.  If I create a new apple id for her, can we still share our music?

    Yes.  If you are using two different instances of iTunes on your computers, make sure the music is on both copies of iTunes.
    The person with the new Apple ID will not "own" the music, as it is owned by the one with the former ID.  But the way to deal with this is for the new ID person to do Store > Authorize This Computer from iTunes' menu, then have the person with the ID that purchased the music enter his/her Apple ID and password.

  • Should I create a new Apple ID for new device?

    Hi, I just got a iPod Touch and I also own a iPhone. Should I create a new Apple ID for the iPod Touch or share with the existing one for the iPhone?

    As content is tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it, you are better off using the same account for all your devices - you can put content from the one account on multiple devices. You don't really gain anything by having multiple accounts, if anything it makes things worse e.g. having to remember two account ids and passwords.
