New battery one day old only 93% health?

I downloaded iStat on my MBP that I got yesterday that I used the battery til it died, charged and let it charge til full then used a bit. It says only 4:45 battery life left and istat says it only has 93% health... this is brand new, why? Thanks!

A cycle is a charge and a discharge. It is perfectly normal for the cycle count to increase while running on battery.
Apple says that as long as the battery health is 80% or more the battery is within specifications.

  • My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power

    My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power it's as if the unit is completely dead. Even with the mains plugged in there is no green or orange light to say its charging or full charged. The battery was fully charged anyway seconds before the screen went off.

    When you say no green or orange light are you refering to the little led on the magsafe connector?  That could mean either the charger/cable are bad or the circuitry in the MBP is faulty.  Since this is a brand new MBP best bet is to take it back to an Apple Retail store and have the genius bar staff take a look.  They can determine if it needs to be reparired or replaced.

  • Blue tinted screen, menory problems, underperforming battery - 5 day old HP pavilion dv6-6005sa

    I bought a new HP Pavilion dv6-6005sa 15.6" Laptop - Linen White on 14/06/11 from Currys digital, Arndale Centre, Manchester. The laptop is less than 1 week old.
    The screen is a frost blue colour from the second I turn it on to the second it is turned off. Weirdly I can see the entire screen, just that everything is blue!! Does anybody know how this can happen??? When I move the screen it flickers from normal to this blue thing. A loose connection maybe?
    I am unhappy as I got to send it back to the shop for a under 21 days replacement involving an expensive airmail delivery :@ The alternative would be a 3 week investigation in the lab which I cant be bothered with!
    Has anybody else experienced this phenomenon with a HP laptop screen? I also am beginning to experience memory problems and the usb prots are on the blink. I have looked after it very well, it has just been sat on a desk for 5 days! Can anybody explain me this phenomenon and if it is a comon problem with HP laptops?
    Now for the next problem as if a faulty screen and memory cache wouldnt be enough! The battery:
    The battery specs are as follows:
    Lithium-Ion 6-cell battery
    'upto 7.5 hours battery life'
    The battery is advertised to perform 'upto 7.5 hours' however I get maximum 4.5 hours doing absolutely nothing on power saver mode with the laptop with it just sitting there idle on a desk. At the same time I also had wireless and bluetooth off; screen brightness set to 0%, maximum processing chip power reduced to 20%; battery saver mode active; all major applications closed).
    I get maximum 2-3 hours doing basic tasks with it such as word processing. Gaming I get maximum 1.5 hours.
    The battery checker displays the following:

    I have highlighted in bold the things I thing are suspicious. I feel the results are those of a malfunctioning battery. Could anybody tell me if I am correct withmy assumptions?
    As I am no expert coes anybody reading this think these results are normal for a new battery and can you provide me some insight to wether my battery might be faulty or not?

    Go to Power Options in the Control panel and select the  Power Saver option. Do not choose balanced. Then run your battery capacity tests again. Hopefully the new setting will improve the time that you get.

  • New mac 5 days old daughter accessed a movie website and now keep being redirected to this site. Have erased her as user and tried to restore factory settings. Now computer running Internet recovery and I am lost. Please help

    New Mac only 5 days old. Daughter accessed a movie website and now popups keep appearing and unable to access any other Internet sites without being redirected. Have deleted her as a user and then tried to restore to factory settings. I did something wrong and it is now doing an Internet recovery. Help I am completly lost and don't know what I am doing.

    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • New iMac - 2 days old - One kernel Panic!

    Should I be worried?
    Successfully migrated 4 user accounts and all else running smoothly.

    Thanks for the very comprehensive link.
    I'm pleased to report that we have had no repeat of the kernel panic since - fingers crossed.
    I have ruled out hardware and RAM using the tests prescribed. I've also ran RP and all the maintenance scripts using Main Menu. I have not done any testing with peripherals as I've not had a problem since. At the time of the KP there was no 3rd party software installed as I left the old apps. folder behind on the old mac.
    I have a hunch what caused the problem. The night before it happened, I discovered the new Parental Controls in System Prefs. This must have caused my son a few headaches the next day as he didn't even know about the new computer let alone a new set of parental controls! He was on the computer imediately before the KP.
    I read the panic log and it says that the problem was specifically related to Parental Controls. I have seen other posts that hint this new feature might be buggy. I have since turned it off, which might be why there's been no repeat.
    Would be very interested in your opinion on this. I can post the log if you like.
    Thanks again.

  • My review: N95 Firmware v20, one day old!

    Well - I have flashed the firmware and been using my "new" (for it certainly seems like a new phone) N95 all day now. It has only crashed once (curiously enough clicking on the top right link on the http://mosh.nokia.com page, a small green right-facing arrow). I certainly can't claim that level of stability with my desktop PC... so my one crash is par for the course, and very impressive indeed!
    As many people have mentioned, there is a lot more free RAM now. Exactly how much is really immaterial as it is the enhanced capability of the phone which has resulted from this boost that matters. As a pretty exhaustive test I did the following:
    Whilst on speaker phone to my business partner he sent me an email to my Hotmail account.
    I opened up the messaging app and went to my Windows Live mail box.
    I opened the email and downloaded an 85k Word document attachment on it.
    The QuickOffice viewer opened the Word file.
    Within the Word file was a web link - I needed to look at this and so copied it to the clipboard.
    Returning to the menu I opened the browser and navigated to the link from the clipboard. The page was laden with graphics and a tonne of text. I zoomed to 50% and scanned through to read the information I needed.
    Leaving the browser open, and just for the hell of it, I went to the menu and launched Widsets which duly connected to my WLAN and loaded up my widgets. I scrolled to the Darla Mack Mobile blog widget and opened it up, selecting the first story within (about the v20 firmware, of course!). This news post had a 70% of screen sized image on the page too.
    Throughout all of this I changed screen orientation a number of times using both the slider and the option in the browser's menu. I also had a call blacklist application, as well as the excellent MobiGenie voicemail application running in the background at all times.
    Before I closed everything down, I loaded Y-Task's memory module to see how much RAM was free - 6.7M of free RAM!!! Now that's what I'm talking about!!!!
    I'd just like to say to anyone anywhere who has ever harboured or proffered the opinion that "it's a phone, it's not meant to do all that" or some variant thereof - what absolute rubbish! This new firmware has made the phone multi-taskable to such an extent that at last, the N95's slogan "it's what computers have become" can at last ring true!!
    As for battery usage improvements, the fullness of time will reveal whether it really makes an impact. In the mean time, today, I have tested it as follows:
    I have performed a firmware upgrade(!)
    I took three backups on PC Suite via content copier
    Used USB Mass transfer to copy 370MB of data from my memory card, via the phone
    Installed 30 applications to the phone
    Restored data to the phone (and subsequently reformatted the phone!) 3 times
    Played with the web browser for 50+ mins on WiFi.
    Chatted on MSN Messenger for around 30 minutes
    Took 8 photos at 5MP each, most with flash
    Played around in general with the phone for about 3 hours, on and off
    Performed the aforementioned uber-test on the phone
    Spoken in total for (according to my log) 2h09m
    Sent 9 text messages
    Watched one streaming video from my gallery, lasting 6 mins
    My battery has JUST, after all of that, hit the low battery warning. I think that you'll agree that's an impressive performance for the N95. This is all with the phone set to lowest brightness, non 3G mode etc. to conserve maximum power of course, so that extra jolt of power that the N95 8Gb batteries have would still not go amiss... I suspect that I'd have been able to do a lot less if I was using high speed mobile networks for the data tasks I listed above.
    The camera is also very much improved, about 3-4 times faster overall. It seems to produce better quality images with finer resolution of individual pixels. I think (?) they have increased focal length on macro shots from 10-40cm to 60cm (I could be wrong there). The update massively reduced shot-to-shot time and the simple addition of the processing image message really improves the process no end, curiously enough! Also, there is funny gray line grid mode (er, what's this acutally for??).
    There are numerous tweaks here and there, like new sub-folders in the menus (very handy indeed) and new versions of some apps.
    There are some rather glaring omissions however:
    Nothing has been done with the accelerometer functions, no auto-rotate or tilt-navigation (a la RotateMe / Nokmote).
    Videos and photos are still grouped together in the gallery and the 'albums' feature feels a bit like an afterthought (at the very least I would expect folders or album icon or something to show up in the photo/video stream).
    There is still no control over compression of JPEG images from the camera (although this will probably be a minor issue to many).
    The slider menu (which Darla Mack quite rightly commented on) from the N81 which allows you to set up how the slider action causes your phone to behave - where is it? This is such an obvious requirement for the N95 and has been the frequent cause of complaints on many forums since the N95's launch
    There are a number of applications / software features, for example the multimedia menu, which are already present on other phones which have not been included here. Indeed I believe that some of the core apps from the N95 8GB are more advanced still... given the mess Nokia made of the N95-1 it would seem only courteous to have provided a full set of the latest core apps and menus
    There are many other niggles, but I'm going to leave those ones down to personal tastes. That and the fact that I'm a software designer myself, so I'm always likely to think I can see a better way to do it!
    To sum up, this firmware update was very much needed and overdue. Nokia's handling of this issue and of it's customers has been appalling. Making people wait for 5 months without word, having superceded a very flawed and expensive phone was not, under any stretch of the imagination, a good way to go about things.
    Now that it v20 is here, the N95 flies! It is suddenly reborn and I'm so glad I own it now. It works beautifully and is so stable... it really is a pleasure to use now. I'm glad of my memory card slot and camera lens cover - I wouldn't trade this up for an N95 8gb or anything else I've seen on the market now! (yes that includes you iPhone!! ;P )
    My final thought on all of this? Thank Jebus they fixed the infernal keypress bug!!! XD

    To be fair, this update addresses nearly all of the concerns that we've had. It specifically addresses the top 2 concerns - memory handling and the poor performance of the camera application, slow load times and processing times.
    There are a bunch of other updates as well which are just icing on the cake.
    I think through 3rd party programs you can achieve most of what you are trying to do. I'm sure the n95 will recieve yet another update. The attention they have put into updating the phone to support the music store and ngage means that it will recieve additional bug fixes, especially once they begin to get a revenue stream from these new services being launched in december.
    I think the n95 if anything has been shown to be a winning device. I believe it will continue to have Nokia's support due to the fact that it is one of the most capable devices in the lineup. I believe the 5 month development time since the last update is due to how comprehensive the overhaul of the firmware has been. Now that version 20 is out, we will see smaller incremental updates. The tough part (overhauling the memory system and operating system, better battery management etc) is over.
    I'm really enjoying my device now.

  • New Battery Worse than Old

    Through Best Buy I had Apple replace the battery in my nearly two-year old iPod Mini 4G. I was getting 5 hours before I sent it off. (A year ago I got nearly 8.) I got it back the other day and did a test: 4 hours! Has anyone else had this experience?
    Sheldon
    P.S.: Why doesn't iTunes start up when I plug in the iPod. I have it set to do that, but it refuses.

    I've fully recharged two more times now. I'm getting about 6 hours and 30 minutes under optimal conditions: No backlight, no EQ, no manual track changes, just repetition of a single album.
    Can I expect it to get better than that? Is the age of the battery the only thing that determines play time? The guy at Best Buy said it is also determined by the age of the circuitry. Could that be?

  • One day old - no volume on certain songs

    I just picked up my first Touch yesterday. Synced a bunch of songs from my sister's playlist. No problems-played fine in the car, with headphones etc. Started fiddling with itunes on my computer and hooked up the ipod to it (slow internet connection). Now only the older albums play with sound...the newer artists (with album displays) show that they're playing but there is no sound - tried headphones, car adapter and nothing. The old songs and new music video I downloaded today play and sound fine, though....
    So frustrating! Any suggestions??

    I think what is happening is that those songs that are not playing are DRM'd. In iTunes, you can click on the song and authorize it to play on your computer (you can do this on five different computers). When you get done, resync your iPod and you should be fine.

  • Brand new iPad (one hour old) ...a few questions

    I just got my first iPad and will enjoy exploring it over the next while. But I do have some initial questions. To wit:
    1. I'd like to import by Groups from my Macbook Pro. As it now stands, I've got all the addresses form their synced with my iPhone, but for some reason the groups that I have are not synced on the iPhone. Is it possible to sync those groups on the iPad? If so, how?
    2. I am seriously thinking of using the iPad to replace my Toshiba laptop at work. The laptop is the only work computer I use. We've got an internal and external email system at work. Although I am not sure, I imagine that I can receive my work's external emails simply by adding that account to my iPad so that it reads both my me.com account and the work account. But the question is then: how do I go about receiving the internal emails from colleagues at work? At this point, I will be the only 100% Mac user at the agency.
    Thanks for any assistance offered.
    Gr8ful Ted

    Work Around:
    On your mac:
    1.  Open a new email
    2.  Insert name of an existing group into one of the "To" fields as usual.
    3.  Highlight all the resulting names in the "To" entry
         [Highlight first name, and while holding shift, highlight last name and all will highlight[]
    4. Copy (Command C) the highlighted emails
    5. Paste (Command V) nto a pages document
    6. Remove the name and anything else preceeding the first < and also the first < of only the first entry whixh will look like this:
         [email protected]>,
    7. Remove the > of the last email which will look like this:
         , Jane Doe <[email protected]
    8. Copy the entire altered list from the pages document
    9, Go to Contact Book and click + to add a new entry
    10.. Name the entry (XXX Group for iPad) or whatever you wish to call it
    11.  Paste all the copied altered list into any one of the email entry spaces
    12.  Click on "Done"
    13.  Create new email On iPad and click on + in any one of the "To" lines and search for "XXX Group for iPad"  You cannot just key in XXX Group for iPad!!!!!!!, you must use + contact search.
    14.  Enter the selected iPad contact group into the "To" line.
    15.  All the entries will now appear in the "To" line and you are good to go.
    Adding or deleting email addresses from the iPad group:
    Easiest:  Alter the original mac group in the usual way and repeat steps 1-14 above.  It seems impossible to edit within the emai line of the iPad contact entry.
    Rediculously simple once figured out.
    Happy emailling, but please send Bcc so that you don't spread your groups' email addresses all over the internet for spam, viruses, and other unwanted emails.  Be considerate and ask your recipients to notifiy you if they wish to be deleted from the lists you compose.

  • My early 2011 MacBook Pro says battery not detected and does not work with a new battery either. Works only with the charger plugged in.

    About a year back i had replaced the MLB of my early 2011 macbook pro and it was all working fine. A month back my battery went dead saying "Battery Not Detected". I went to Ample technologies, Bangalore, India and gave it for diagnosis. Ample technologies are the authorized Apple support service in Bangalore, India. After 3 days and no phone calls they email me that "They feel that the MLB MIGHT be the problem and they want to test it by replacing the MLB and i have to pay for their testing". I had already spent 40k indian rupees ($700) less than a year back to replace an MLB and now they want to replace it again at the cost of 43k ($750) indian rupees. I have no idea what to do now. Spending 80k indian rupees ($1400) in less than a year to replace the MLB twice sounds unfair to me. Can someone help me out here ? Is there a valid warranty period applicable , since i have changed the MLB a year back ?

    short of doing a SMC reset, you maybe at their mercy.

  • Pay for new upgrade on day old iTouch?

    We just bought an iTouch yesterday. Today we tried to download an app and games and it says we have to pay 9.99$ for a 3.0 upgrade? Hunh? I just bought this and now I have to upgrade it? Is this right? Did I get last years model? Should the salesperson have given me an upgrade coupon or something? Why isn't what I bought from the Apple store not up to date??? Please advise. It is not the 9.99 that I am worried about, but rather the principle of the business practice that I have questions about. Thanks

    I must admit there isn't much in there that can warrant charging anything for an Ipod touch. Iphone perhaps since there is stuff that can only work on an iphone.
    This should be a standard update for ipod's. It does stink that you've just purchased and having to pay more. Perhaps, in response, you should return it and rebuy when one comes with 3.0?
    Graeme
    Btw: I've tried to update purely because apps will come out that will be 3.0 only.
