Not getting a warning before my battery's dead...

I'm no longer getting a notification that my battery's dead and my MacBook just shuts down... Any ideas what I could do?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First, reset SMC.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Then calibrate the battery.

If there is no improvement once you've done both these steps, it's also possible that your battery has reached the end of reliable useful life and simply needs to be replaced.

  • I can not add the warning before buying an app. Could you please explain how to add this warning

    Please tell me how to add the warning before purchasing an app?

    Hey klw67
    Thanks for the question. Are you referring to the prompt for your password? If so, this can be achieved by utilizing the Restrictions (parental controls) of the specific device. For information on setting up and using Restrictions, see this resource:
    iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
    You can prevent access to specific content types:
    - You can also adjust the time necessary before a password is required to purchase content.

  • I would like to get a warning before accidently deleting a playlist

    Hi,
    I am running the latest itunes and on leopard.
    I love iTunes and use it for all my needs for music, videos, etc.
    I make lots of playlists for different genre, parties, etc etc.
    However sometimes when I think I am selecting a song I want to download it was actually highlighting the playlist the song was in instead. It is sometimes hard to see as it highlights the song too.
    I press delete and the whole playlist is gone. I realized the old itunes use to prompt a message asking whether I was sure I want to delete. Is there an option I can choose to turn this function back on?
    It is very frustrating since some of my playlists take me days and weeks to collate for parties. Once its gone I have no idea what I have chosen since some of the playlists I made months ago.
    Thanks!

    The new version cannot reset warning before deleting songs.
    Since I edit a lot of my songs constantly as I dj, I just accidently deleted a whole playlist which I took me a few months of collating. I have 600 GB of music, so its a BIG hassle and very upset by this.
    If iTunes can have a setting like iCal where the calendar cannot be deleted by pressing delete, but have to right click delete + prompt.
    Is there a way to fool proof this from happening again?

  • My I Pad is not charging, it started after the battery went dead while i was playing a game, when i tried charging it all it does is flash the apple icon and it switches off again, help Pliiz

    my Ipad is not charging, it started after the battery died while i was playing a game, when i tried charging its only flashing the apple icon and it switches off again, help PLIIZ

    Not charging
    1. Reset iPad
    2. Try another wall socket
    3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
    4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
    5. Clean Lightning port with compress air or new paint brush

  • Getting a warning before credit card debited in iTunes / App Store

    When I first purchased and app via my new iPad on the App store, it asked for confirmation.  Today I purchased an app, the price (white on grey) changed to white on green "Install".  After hitting Install, I expected a warning or confirmation message of some type - but no, no second change - voilà there it was!
    OK so what I want is to always have a confirmation message, a warning - even if I have to re-enter my credit card or re-enter a password (that would be best) - but I can see myself browsing a $99.99 app one day and inadvertently hitting "install" and suddenly my credit card is billed…
    I know you may think this is a bit overcautious or that I'm not being careful, but I also have always had my Mac's EMPTY TRASH give me a warning message and that has saved me more than once since 1989…
    Thanks for any comments on how to do this.  I want the apps to be able to transfer / sync from my Mac to my iPad (and eventually iPhone) - but I want a warning when I purchase (or I want to have to enter my password of my Apple account again)--
    Best regards,

    If you are an old timer, sometimes the App store gets confused about your account.
    You might be "oldtimer"
    Or you might be "[email protected]"
    This is the situation for me (Yes, I am old and long suffering).
    This situation means sometimes you have to log in as the other user to get things to work, or to see things you have already purchased.  I assume this is due to the fact that I was an iwork/iweb/.mac/whateveapplecallsitthisweek/icloud user.
    Other then that, you might login in to the web interface from your mac and try to update your crdit card info from there. If it's all correct and the card is good it SHOULD go.
    Best of luck,
    Marty

  • Why do you not give any warning before upgrading operativt system? Loosing information and a LOT of extra work for your customers!  Improvement!

    Starting one morning the Pad was totaly blank. Charged to 73%, function ok the day before. Have to spend several hours setting it up again.
    Extremly rude to your customers doing this without a warning!

    There is no automatic update!
    Two possibilities here (since you are running 5.0.1, I assume there is only one ):
    1. You updated by mistake, agreeing to the update message.
    2. You have jailbroken your iPad 2 and it crashed, so you had to set up everything again.
    If your iPad says iOS 5.1 now, you certainly agreed to the update.

  • My original Ipod 30gb will not charge when plugged in (suspect battery completely dead...). Help

    My orignal 30gb ipod will not charge when plugged in to a power socket. I think the battery has completely run down. Any thoughts?

    Which model is this iPod.  The "original" iPod was 5GB or 10GB, so this must be a 3rd gen iPod, at the earliest.  This document shows all the iPod models.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1353
    If it's a 3rd gen iPod, it has a dock connector, but it needs to be connected to a FireWire port to charge.  It does not charge from a USB port.

  • My phone doesn't last more than two hours before the battery is dead. Any one know how to make the battery last longer? College student in need of help!

    I used to be able to go all day without charging my phone but now I have to charge it like every two hours and as a college student who also works. I go most of my day with a dead phone. Does anyone know how to make your battery last longer?

  • How do i set an appointment into my iphone and get a warning sign for the appointment to date into my agenda ?

    Since IOS5.1 , I been having a hard time getting my agenda to show my appointments and give me a warning sign like alarm or a reminder alarm for them .
    Now since the new update we have had one app split into two and gotten reminder and agenda .
    Now i have been using o r better said been trying to use the reminder , to get my appointments set right .
    But it seems to be that i do not get a warning of any type from my phone about the coming date , i set up the reminder for in the first place .
    Before ios5.1 the reminder was intergrated into the agenda and for more easy to use since the new .
    Now the agenda has no more option to also add birthdays and other handy reminders which are on a yearly bases .
    I have been trying to find out if i missed something or other , and come to the conclusion that i see no options aviable to either enable or disable anything of the sort to change this .
    Also i have been reading the manual and i notest that in there is no reminder of how this new stationary app from apple itself works and explained .
    Anyone can enlighten me about this please , thank before hand and greetings from verbodentoegang

    So I have bought a couple of apps on my iphone and would like to transfer them to my itunes library, but not sure how.
    iTunes > File > Transfer purchases
    When I plug in my iphone and try and sync the two, I get a warning from itunes that everything on my iphone will be wiped and everything from my itunes library will be moved to it.
    Have you changed the computer you are syncing with?

  • There is no warning before deleting a playlist or folder?

    Hello all,
    I wanted to ask if there's a way to get a warning before deleting a playlist or folder?
    I've organised my music in folders with playlist but hitting the return button will remove a complete folder at once and I don't know how to recover it. The songs are still in the lib but how can I recollect my lost playlists when I have a few 1000 songs in the lib?
    Or is there a way to backup the playlists so I can recover them that way?
    Thank you

    You likely selected, at one time, the "Do not ask again" box when you deleted a playlist. If something's already been deleted, do not expect to get it back. If you want that option to return again, you may be able to deleted you iTunes plist. With iTunes closed, go to your home folder > library > preferences and delete a file called come.apple.itunes.plist. Restart. Try and open iTunes and remove a playlist (create a blank one if there's nothing you can safely delete).
    As for saving playlists and such:

  • Not closing ResultSet, but not getting ORA-01000

    I have an application that is generating the familiar ORA-01000 error.
    Whilst investigating the problem, I wrote a small test program. In the test program I tried to get the ORA-01000, but I don't get it (has anyone ever complained about not getting ORA-01000 before?!)
    connection = DriverManager.getConnection("<connection string>");
    String sql = "SELECT c1 FROM pdtab2 WHERE Id>=? AND Id<=?";
    PreparedStatement ps = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
    for (int i = 1; i <= 30000; ++i)
        ps.setInt(1, i-1);
        ps.setInt(2, i+1);
        if (i % 100 == 0)
            System.out.println("i=" +i);
            System.out.println("getCurrentOpenCursors(connection)="
                               +getCurrentOpenCursors(connection));
        try
            rs = ps.executeQuery();
            while (rs.next())
                result = rs.getInt(1);
        catch (SQLException e2)
            e2.printStackTrace();
        finally
            // Do nothing! Do not close the result set
    }getCurrentOpenCursors does:
    select count(*) AS COUNT from v$open_cursor where user_name like 'me'
    I have reduced OPEN_CURSORS down from 300 to 100, but getCurrentOpenCursors always returns less that what it is set to. Suggesting that OPEN_CUSRORS is not a limit, but rather a pool size?
    The result set returns more than one record, I never close the result set, yet I do not get an ORA-01000 error. I have tried auto-commit true and false on the connection. Is the prepared statement closing its previous result set on each new iteration of the loop, hence stopping me getting a problem?
    I am using Oracle version 10.2.0.1, the corresponding ojdbc14.jar, and Java 1.4.

  • How do a configure user account so the the get a warning when....

    Hi All,
    I hope any one can give me some help
    I've have done server installation and the only way to access the server for a user is to use SSH. The user accounts are set up so they must cahnge password efter 30 days and they should get a warning five days before the password expires.
    The problem is that the warning is never shown in the SSH window,
    How can I configure so it possible to get a warning before the password expires.
    I''m greatful for qick help!
    Cheers

    If your using SSH1 you need to have the following set:
    PasswordExpireWarningDays 7
    the 7 is the number of days before it starts to warn you. If this has been set to 0, then password expiry warning is suppressed.
