No warning when on reserve power, shuts off data lost

Hi There:
I would like to know if there is a problem with my Macbook and if it may need service. I am often working on a presentation and don't check my battery life, after I deplete it, it doesn't tell me that it is about to run on reserve battery power. Instead it just quits and whatever I was doing was lost.
Before, my computer would bring up a little message that said that I was about to run on reserve power and that I better connect otherwise it will shut off. When this happened I was able to connect it, restart (if it had shut of on me) and the screen I had when it shut down on me was there just as I had left it. Can anyone tell me if my Macbook needs service? Or is this a setting I am missing in prefs.
Thanks Tyler

Check and see if you have battery update 1.3 installed.
MacBook/Library/System/Library/SystemConfiguration/BatteryUpdater.bundle
Leopard installs it. It is the MacBook Pro update.
If it is 1.3 drag it to the trash and then reboot. After you reboot you will be able to emtpy the trash. Once you have done that run software update and it should install Battery Update 1.2. You should also reset the SMC (System Management Controller).

  • New MBP needs reboot before it will charge when on reserve power

    My wife bought a new 13" MBP (non retina) on Wednesday.
    Since then, she's twice run it to the point at which it warns that it's running on reserve power.
    On each occasion, plugging in the supplied MagSafe adapter powers the MBP, but the LED on the MagSafe does not light. The MBP states that whilst it's power source is the power adapter, it states that the battery is not charging.
    Rebooting seems to cure this problem - the LED lights up and the battery status indicator shows that it's charging.
    Anyone else experience this behaviour?
    Thanks,
    SPD.

    For further info, plugging in the MagSafe at any point other than when on reserve power and everything functions as it should, the MagSafe LED turns amber and the MBP reports that it's charging.
    So, to reiterate, when the MBP states that it's running on reserve power, and we plug in the MagSafe, the LED does not light, the MBP states that it's power source is the adapter but that the battery is not charging. Reboot and charging starts immediately.
    Having not had an MBP before I don't know whether this is normal behaviour.
    Thanks,
    SPD.

  • Erratic "Low Battery Power" shut-offs

    My I-Pod Mini is less than a year old and has developed a very annoying problem. Even with a full charge the unit will flash the "Low Battery Power" warning and then shut off. On some occassions the unit will turn back on within a few minutes and then play for a few hours. On other occassions the unit will not play at all. In the latter circumstance, I charge the I-Pod, but the icon will show that the battery is fully charged. It is then 50-50 as to whether it will play.
    To make matters more frustrating I sent my mini to Apple for service and got it back (completely erased) with a letter saying it operated within acceptable limits. So, now I have a mini that does not work well, and I am out shipping expenses - that doesn't seem right!
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    This sounds like my problem.

  • Weird automatic power shut offs

    Just bought and assembled a KT4V board with an AMD Athlon 1800 with 133mhz fsb, 266mhz ddr Ram, 64mb Geforce 2.  However when it boots up it likes to automatically shut off at points. I don't mea restart I mea I have to turn the power switch i the back off and on and then hit the switch in the front. Beyond the fact it does not eve get past the memory check with the FSB at 133 or for that matter aything over 100 (so it says the processor is only 1150mhz on start up) even with default settings when it gets past the POST it can't seem to read my boot disc in the floppy drive(sayig it can't locate the boot record) although it registers the device at the beginning. Any suggestions to the source of the problem/problems would be much appreciated.

    I experienced the same rebooting issue with the KT4V I set up for a friend recently. It turned out it was the Data Curruption Issue Described in This Thread
    The 1.7 Bios fixed the issue for me - but there are reports that it severly kills HardDrive Performance, but at least the computer is stable...
    Can anyone Confirm that the 1.7 bios does kill harddrive performance? The board is out of my hands now and I didnt test the performance before the new bios update anyway.

  • Photosmart do not start when I push power ON/OFF

    My printer did not start when I push the ON/OFF button.  The power supply is in order.I dont use the printer frecvent. Some days ago I found that the color patrons was bad; I run a cleaning by the HD maintence program.When I today was going to put new colors the printer was dead!The printer is conected by a USB cable to my Pavillion500-317no computer.

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting, but it can clear some glitches after installing new software or apps.

  • Transient VO error when app module pooling shut off

    Hi,
    I am using JDev 10.1.3.3.0 to build an application with ADFBC and JSF.
    I am trying to test the application with the app module pooling turned off.
    There is one failure I am trying to focus on an solve. What I am trying to is to populate Transient VO xyz, navigate to a dialog page using dialog: where the contents of xyz should be displayed in an af:table.
    When AM Pooling is turned on, I see the data.
    When AM Pooling is turned off, I have the right number of rows in the table, but I every table cell contains no data. Its like the binding layer does not restore.
    Could someone explain why this is the case?

  • Power shuts off in a while

    Lets see who can solve this for me:
    my computer will shut off if i attempt to watch online streaming videos, play games, or do virus scan.
    i did a memory scan with the windows 7 memory diagnostic utility, and came back with nothing.
    is there any other hardware scanning utilities out there?

    What did you dual boot too?
    In Windows XP, for instance (and other versions) the machine may automatically reboot instead of giving you an error message, (the old 'blue screen of death'). To disable this in XP, follow the following directions:
    1.
    Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
    2.
    Click the Advanced tab.
    3.
    Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings to open the Startup and Recovery dialog box.
    4.
    Clear the Automatically restart check box, and click OK the necessary number of times.
    5.
    Restart your computer for the settings to take effect.
    Once this is disabled, you may find further information allowing you to track down which hardware/driver is causing the error.
    Immediate steps to take as well:
    1. Update ALL drivers for all devices.
    2. Remove and reseat all hardware (except CPU, and don't forget the memory!). A blow down to remove dust might help as well, as long as you're in there.

  • 975X Platinum PUE V2.0 Power shuts off after ~45 sec?

    I'm looking for help with a frustrating issue.  This is a new build with the following:
    *MSI 975X Platinum PUE
    *Intel Core2Duo E6600 2.4Ghz 2M 1066FSB Socket 775
    *XFX GeForce 7900 GT Video Card in PCIe
    *Old IDE HD with XP
    *New WD Caviar 250GB SATA
    *Kingston 1024MB PC5400 DDR2 667MHz Memory x 2
    The memory is in the DIMM1 & DIMM2 positions and the system will boot to the BIOS.  Without doing anything, the system shuts down after about 30-45 seconds.  Any suggestions would be very helpful.  I have searched the forums and FAQ and the only thing that it may be is the "Power On after Power Off" under the Power Management Page in the CMOS Setup.  I have not been able to try that yet, as the system doesn't stay on long enough.
    Thanks for any help in advance!

    I've never done that before. I usually still have my original media so that I can reinstall my programs.
    It is hairy but I am sure it is possible to manually move over all the required stuff so that it can work
    again. Several things to look into:
    a) Can you migrate checkpoints? XP creates checkpoints so that you can later rollback. My question
    is, can you use a checkpoint and move it over to a different computer? Probably not but it might be
    worth investigating.
    b) Manuallly do what an installer does.
      - first move over your program files directory to where you want it to reside
      - the nasty part is to somehow copy over the registry that refer to the programs that you just moved.
        Good luck on that one.
      - also inspect the system32 directory for dll's that applications sometimes install. Move those as well.
    I do recall, I needed to do something similar to what you are doing and it was a hit or miss depending on
    the program. Some programs just complained it wasn't in the registry and asked if I wanted to put it in.
    Those solved themselves. Things like Microsoft Word just insisted to do a reinstall.

  • Full Power Shut Off

    I just got a BlackBerry Bold 9650.  I can't find the full power off.  Can anyone help me?
    Thanks

    To power off the BlackBerry Bold, go into the settings and click the Power off Icon and click Full Power off.  Another option is to press and hold down the end call key until the device powers off completely. To turn it back on, press the same key.
    I am providing a link where you can access as a reference. When accessing the website, simply put your Blackberry device.

  • When Canon MP460 is shut off, Airport Extreme fails to detect it!

    There is no problem detecting the printer initially. However, if it gets turned off and on again, AE does not recognize it has a USB printer attached to it! The only solution I have is to restart the AE - then it realizes it has a printer attached. Any ideas about this one guys?? Thanks a bunch,
    Adam
    Airport Extreme, Canon MP460    

    I have the same issue with a Canon i9900. Does not
    recognize printer unless I unplug the USB cable after
    it is turned on.
    Unplugging and plugging the USB cable back in does not help. The base station only seems to detect the printer if I restart it. I have no idea why turning the printer on and off would cause this to happen. Is there a more official way to submit bugs like this to apple?
