New battery needed - and very confused!!! help!

my ipod mini battery is not playing for 8 hours but for about 2 hours
the warranty is still in date, so will getting a new battery be free if i send it in?
also, do they give you just a different ipod mini if you send it in for repair of the battery, if so are they brand new or used?
and finally, on this site it says to test the battery life of the ipod, you have to play an album over and over to find out exactly how long the battery life is, and you are asked how long this is when sending it in for servicing. do they actually ask you? and can you be refused a service of the battery?!!! please help !!
thanx!!

"the warranty is still in date, so will getting a new battery be free if i send it in?"
If your iPod is over 180 days old, they may charge you a $30 handeling fee, but other than that, yes.
"do they give you just a different ipod mini if you send it in for repair of the battery, if so are they brand new or used?"
They'll most likely send you a refurbished mini.
"do they actually ask you?"
That one, I don't know. Never needed to find out.
"can you be refused a service of the battery?!!!"
Yes. If you battery lasts more than half its advertised life, it is within what Apple considers to be acceptable performance and they may refuse service. Also, if your iPod shows signs of excessive physical damage, Apple may refuse service.
If you're really only getting two hours, I would definately send it in.
Good luck!

New battery needed and possibly new adapter?

I have a Macbook I bought back in 2008 and I know I need a new battery. My condition says "Replace now." Recently I've noticed that the light on my charger has been going out and sometimes isn't charging the battery. Is this just because I need a new battery or do I need a new power adapter too?

Hi LuckyLo,
there is one way to test to find out which one has the issue, the Charger cable or the Battery. or Both?
firstly if the battery says " replace now" I would recommend investing in a New Battery, if the battery icon at the top of your screen says " Not Charging " its more then likely that its down to the battery needing to be replaced ,
In regards to the Charger, You Could try removing the battery , and running the Mac from the mains cable directly ?
see if the light goes out in the same fashion without a battery being installed, then you will find out if you have an issue with that Cable its self too.
I have seen Mains cables inwhich the "little Light " is broken but they normally still charge the battery fine
hope this was helpful
thanks

New to displays and very confused

I finally got my 24" LED in the mail and now I can use it fine as a secondary display but I want to use it as my primary display so I want my dock and everything to show up on the bottom of the 24 inch and use my MacBook's screen as the secondary display. I saw this at the Apple store and I thought it was the coolest thing but I cant figure out how to do this!

In the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference, drag the menu bar to the other display. (Aim carefully, so you get just the menu bar, not the entire display.)

I run hard hardware test on my macbook white an found error like this 4SNS/1/40000001:VPOR-0.578 and i replace my new battery but it not charging,help me!!

Bring it in for service. Anytime hardware test detects an error, that's an indication the service department needs to fix it.

Short Battery Life and Very Slow Data on 4S

Short Battery Life and Very Slow Data on 4S,
anyone else noticing the slow speed of data on this phone?

Yes, I measure my slow data on Sprint in kpbs, not Mpbs. Like standard is download maybe 250kpbs, upload 100kpbs (that's 0.25 Mbps and 0.1 Mbps). On the same tower my buddy who has an AT&T iPhone 4 shows 2.5Mbps download and 1.5Mbps upload (that's 2500kbps and 1500kpbs), a LOT faster. Sprint has not been much help.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

I have 1 GB RAM on an '07 MacBook Pro. 1) How do I check remaining memory? 2) I have Microsoft office 2004 - do I need to buy more RAM to upgrade to '11? 3) I need a new battery ... Is it worth the $$ to buy a new battery, RAM and Microsoft office 2011?

I have a MacBook Pro from '07 with 1 GB of memory. The battery is shot and my AppleCare has run out. I just upgraded the OS to 10.6.8. But a few questions:
1 - How do I even check how much memory I have left on this computer?
2 - How do I check how many battery cycles are left?
3 - I want to upgrade to Microsoft Office '11 because I don't have Adobe Acrobat to creat pdf's and I need to be able to do this for school... Instead of buying acrobat, I figured I would just upgrade to Office '11 because I can generate pdf's from Word. Roughly how much RAM does Office '11 take up?
4 - Does Apple still make batteries for this computer (from '07)? How much do they cost?
5 - How much does 1 more GB of memory cost?
AND lastly -- is it even worth it to spend the $ on more RAM, a new battery and Office '11?
Or does it make more sense to just get a new computer entirely? (trying to avoid this).
ANY help would be sooo appreciated! Thanks.

1 - How do I even check how much memory I have left on this computer?
If you're asking how to check to see if you need more RAM, open Activity Monitor and go to the System Memory tab, then compare page outs and page ins. If page outs is 10% or more of page ins, you probably need more RAM.
2 - How do I check how many battery cycles are left?
There's no limit on the number of battery cycles, it's just that the more cycles you've used the more "worn out" your battery gets. You've got a 4-year-old machine, and if it's still got the original battery, it's probably about time for a replacement battery. You can check battery health using System Profiler... look at the Power section under Hardware.
3 - I want to upgrade to Microsoft Office '11 because I don't have Adobe Acrobat to creat pdf's and I need to be able to do this for school... Instead of buying acrobat, I figured I would just upgrade to Office '11
You don't need Office 2011 to create PDFs. Any application capable of printing can create PDFs on a Mac. Just choose File -> Print, but instead of clicking the Print button in the print dialog, click the PDF button and choose Save As PDF in the menu that appears.
4 - Does Apple still make batteries for this computer (from '07)? How much do they cost?
5 - How much does 1 more GB of memory cost?
I'll "ditto" sig's answers to these.
AND lastly -- is it even worth it to spend the $ on more RAM, a new battery and Office '11?
Or does it make more sense to just get a new computer entirely? (trying to avoid this).
If Office 2004 is still working fine for you, stick with that and don't incur the costs of Office 2011. As to the RAM, only add more if the test I mentioned above indicates that you need it. If you buy more RAM when you don't really need it, you won't see much (if any) performance improvement. That just leaves the battery... and if the machine is still doing what you need it to do and you don't really need a new machine for anything, you could definitely buy a new battery and get a few more years out of it.

Mac needs a new battery, servicing and wiping.

Hi Guys,
My old Mac needs a new battery as it is literally on its last legs, it also needs to be serviced and wiped as I no longer use it. Im going to take it to the genius bar to get this done.
However before doing this I am looking at saving all of my itunes folders and emails onto a hard drive. I understand how to do my Itunes but not too sure regarding emails? any help with this would be appreciated it is a Microsoft Exchange address if that helps.
Also do you think I could get the battery replaced first then save my things and then book another appointment to get it serviced and wiped. As I have never used the genius bar before
Thanks in advance.

If you have a MacBook with the removable battery you can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

New battery died and I can't recharge it. Help!!

Ok so I just got a new battery and I left it to charge not realizing that it was not recognized by the computer (careless, I know). Now the battery is dead and I can't turn it on to fix the unrecognized problem. What can I do? I appreciate the help!!!

The charger may also be the problem, not necessarily the battery. Also a bad contact, to say nothing of motherboard— Try the following:
- borrow another charger, does it work? if not
- try to test another battery, does it work? if not
problem may be more serious than battery or charger. If you bought a new battery, and still does not work, I have all reasons to suspect that problems is NOT with battery.

Just got 8520 and very confused, could i have some help please.

Hey
Right just got this phone and im confused.
Firstly how do i update? i tried using the thing on the site and it said there was no updates yet im on 4.6?
And also how do i download app world as when i tried it said something about not being able to open the page when i did it via the phone?
Thanks in advance
Jonny

Ok, I'm finally at a computer. Try setting up your BlackBerry ID using this site from your computer: http://uk.blackberry.com/id/
This will make it much easier to create the ID, and you should then be able to log into AppWorld using the BlackBerry ID you just created.
And as a heads up, you can also download apps from AppWorld to your phone via your computer using the online BlackBerry AppWorld webstore: http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/

New t410 image and repair discs help

First i want to say thanks to everyone for being so helpful. i've a had a few other questions that you guys have helped me on.
i just got my t410 and i am about to make some repair and/or recovery discs. First of all, when i choose "create system image" from control panel, I get 3 drives to backup: System_drv, Window 7 os (C, and Lenovo Recovery (Q. by default, lenovo recovery is NOT selected, should I select it to back that up as well? What effect will it have on the repair discs that I am going to create afterwards? And will it effect me reimaging onto a SSD?
PS. I know some of you guys are on notebookreview, where also posted something similar. if you've already read this bear with me.

TS5223 Updated to iOS8. I don't remember the password for my old Apple ID or the password for that e-mail. I can't delete the iCloud account without knowing it, although my iTunes and everything else is set to the new Apple ID and password. Help?!

I keep getting pop-ups telling me to sign in to my iCloud and it's very annoying. I have no idea what the old password was, and I don't really have a way of changing the old password because I also don't know my password for the e-mail address connected to it (it kept telling me that the answers to my security questions were wrong, but I'm not sure what other answers they would have been). Therefore, I created an entirely new e-mail and a new Apple ID and everything else is set to that ID... except iCloud. Is there any way to correct this, or am I out of luck?

If your device is signed into an old iCloud ID, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID*, do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).
* If that's not the case, you'll have to contact the Apple account security team and ask for assistance resetting the password for the old ID: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. You'll have to be able to prove your identity to them before they will do this.

New battery needed for Macbook 13" late 2008

Does anybody know where I can buy a new battery from for my Macbook? I ordered one a while ago from Misco and they finally admitted their supplier is having problems so are refunding me. I am desperate for this battery as the trackpad no longer works and the back of the laptop is swelling where the battery sits. This battery is for the UK. Can anybody help please please please? Thank you

MacBook Pro 13 Early 2011 Battery Degradation to Not Detected, User Replaced New Battery also Not Detected, Please Help!

I have a MBP early 2011 13 inch and do not have Apple Care. After I installed Mountain Lion I noticed the battery health was dropping pretty rapidly, with a service battery warning. I tried resetting the SMC and PRAM and even a clean install. I took it into an Apple store and they said I should have cycled it more, but I could still use it. The health dropped and dropped until a battery would not even be detected. Because Apple would not replace it for me for free and I didn't want to pay for them to do so, I bought my own battery. Once I replaced the battery with the new one, it still says there is no battery connected.
When I detach the battery and then attach it again, the battery indicator lights on the side show 4 dots. When I plugged in the MagSafe connector, the fifth light started blinking (I thought it was charging) and then it went back to all of them blinking indicating no battery detected. The computer also automatically turned on when I connected the MagSafe.
I have tired multiple times to reset PRAM and SMC even after installing the new battery to no avail. I can use the machine with the MagSafe connected, but as soon as the cord is unplugged or bumped, it goes into the emergency sleep mode.
Any thoughts on what might be ailing this not yet two year old machine? My first Mac lasted 7 years before any logic board fail so I hope that is not it. Anything I should try that I haven't yet? Any ideas on what this might cost me through Apple?
Thanks!

Why don't you look through this to insure you did everything correctly:
