Not holding charge, debilitatingly slow, jumpy mouse, apps crashing

Mid 2011 MacBook air, OS x Yosemite 10.10.1. intermittent problems charging for 3-4 months--would stop holding a charge, but no other issues. downloaded new os in order to update firmware, since it looked like that would solve my problem. Unfortunately none of the updates that seemed to address this were compatible with my computer. So I let it be. I opened my computer after a week or so of not using it, and it took ~35 minutes to power up. Keyboard is on about a 10 second lag, mouse is jumpy and laggy as well. Chrome will slowly pull up, but the pages will crash. Word doesn't seem to be crashing though. Tried SMC reset to no effect. Tried deleting as many files as possible and the hard drive has over 30gb of available space. The dialogue boxes and windows like finder or system preferences dont crash, so I can do things like that very slowly. Emptied trash to.
Not sure if helpful, but here is more info off of my "about this Mac page":
Macbook air (13 inch mid 2011)
1.7 GHz intel core i5
4 GB 1333 mhz dor3
intel hd graphics 3000 384mb
Any input appreciated. Thank you!

  You have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.

  • TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

    My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

    - After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod?  If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
    - If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • Battery shows charging but stuck on 28% and does not hold charge

    i am using HP DV6-6107tx, i got a new extended battery from anker which seemed to be running fine untill it discharged while i was playing watch dogs.
    now my laptop wouldn't power on just on the battery, everything works fine if it is on charging, but the battery does not hold charge and my system powers off immediately on removing AC adapter. the battery shows "28% Charging" but does not increase or decrease the percentage even after hours of charging both while system is on and off.
    i checked the battery in battery test from HP Support Assistant and it says that the battery status is ok, now i have tried the below methods with no luck :
    power off and press power button methods.
    uninstall and reinstall battery from device manager methods.
    battery check from HP Assistant.
    updating Bios to F.1b method.
    updating the HP Support Assistant.
    and all the other methods i could think of or read on HP's site.
    can anyone guide me as to what is the issue here ?       i don't have another machine to test my battery on, the charging lights are fine except that the light does not change color which it did on full charging the battery. i did try on 2 different adapters.
    now if it were a motherboard or IC issue, would it not have said 'not charging' in windows ? in my case it says charging.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello, M_Bilal
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    That you for provided such a detailed post with what you've already completed, for the issue with your battery. I will try to guide you further.
    I would like to provide you further documents for troubleshooting, but you've essentially completed what I have for this issue. The only step left, would be to test the battery.
    You can do this with another battery, or in another notebook. I know you mention another machine, but if you know someone who does or someone who has a compatible battery. This would test that. You could even see if a local computer shop could test it.
    The reason for this, is if the battery is the problem, it's much easier and more affordable replacement. Also, you mention it being new, might have warranty.
    The other possible cause to the issue you've touched on, that would be the system board. Testing the above, would just confirm if this is the problem or not. From there you could decide on what you'd like to do.
    I know, there really aren't many suggestions here, but I hope this can provide you with the next step.
    Let me know how things go, with the route you choose to troubleshoot.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • HT1477 Ipod Shuffle Gen 4. Not holding charge.

    So my Ipod isnt holding its Charge. I just got a new Gen 4 Shuffle for Christmas. And it keeps on not holding charge. I had it on charger Saturday, my computerdid not go to sleep. Had a green light. Turn it on today, and its flashing red. What is going on?

    Hello shadowknightpaladin
    If you are using the new layout and selecting your iPod shuffle to setup syncing, the battery charge should be right underneath your iPod shuffle name. Also you can see a charge if you bring the Sidebar back, then you can see it next the iPod shuffle name. Don’t forget that you can look at your iPod shuffle to see your charge status.

  • I have an iPhone 4 that is not holding charge and heating up.  I've been told it is a problem with the processor.

    I have an iphone 4 that is not holding charge and is heating up excessively.  I've been told that the iphone 4 is having problems with the processor and that it will soon die and there is no way to repair it.  I got my phone in CR through Kolbi / ICE which guarantees it only for a year.  I would like to know what Apple would like me to do.  i have not taken it in for rapair or anything in hopes that they will acknowledge that the phone is only a year old and would support it.
    Appreciate your help,
    Belkis Young

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue persists, take the device to Apple or the Apple Authorized Service Center in the country where the device was originally sold.  The warranty is not International.
    All iPhones come with a one year warranty when sold as new.

    I have seen the batteries at BestBuy, perhaps not yours.
    You can buy another same battery at another carrier, Tmobile or ATT as well.
    Get the 88XX - Green (lime) (C-X2) - 900mAh  <<--is that the color of your present battery?

    Do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
    If it continues to not hold charge take the iPad and charger to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians test it.

  • Nov 2008 Battery - now not holding charge - is this grounds for a free one

    As the tile suggests I dug my receipt out and I replaced my original battery with a new one for $170 in Nov 2008. Now the battery is cutting out at various stages ( 10, 20, 30 even 50% )and not holding charge despite attempts to calibrate, reset PVRAM etc etc etc.
    Is this grounds for a replacement or just the natural life of the battery ?
