Os7, cables and battery

This will probably sound like a broken record but I am really trying to find good answers. Problem #1 Since upgrading to ios7 my iphone5 battery as become increasingly worse. I am to the point where I can't even get 2 hours of normal use. (Normal use was originally 30 hours). Is this an operating system issue or a battery issue or both? Problem #2 The inexpensive chargers I bought no longer work. This is a problem because I need constant charging. This also happened with the upgrade to ios7. I don't feel like spending 25 bucks on multiple charging cords as the others worked fine for over a year. Problem #3. Phone dies anywhere from 65% to 1% just depends on the day. This also happened once the upgrade to ios7 took place. I use my phone for work so it is less than ideal when I cant make a call or respond to an email.
I have tried all the easy fixes. Shut down the apps, turned off wi-fi, etc. I am an old school apple guy (**** i bought stock when it was at $3.50.) I have had two laptops and three desktops but this is my first iphone. But this is the first time since about 1995 that I am ready to be done with apple due to the poor performance of the phone, operating system and battery.

1. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo
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)

Magsafe and Battery issue

Hi there, I'm having a bit of a problem with my MacBook 2009. The exact model number is A1342, if that helps.
I originally bought it used online, and have been having issues since day one. It worked normally when I first plugged it in, then I unplugged it and went somewhere else for a bit. When I went to go plug it back in, the Magsafe cable showed a very dim orange light, and then it turned off completely, and the battery status at the top showed that it wasn't being charged. It also showed a little triangle icon, and said that the battery would need to be serviced soon.
Well, I did some research online, and even check the warranty status. I figured since it was expired, and I had paid so little for it, there was no issue in trying some self repair. I quickly found which cable connected to the main board, unplugged it, waited a few moments, then plugged it back in. Suddenly, the Magsafe would start working again! Until I unplugged it and plugged it back in, that is.
So, after a bit of leaving it sit, I was able to obtain a used, but working battery from a friend whose Macbook (The same model) decided it wanted to stop working. I plugged in the battery without removing the old one, and it worked well, so I plugged in the Magsafe cable, and the little orange light turns on briefly, then shuts off again right away.
Through all of this, I tried with the battery unplugged, and only the Magsafe running the computer, and it works perfectly fine! Green light and all! Plus, the Magsafe seems to work on other computers without an issue.
So, could it just be the battery? Or might it be something else? I've never had a problem with a Macbook before, so this is certainly a bit weird! Thanks in advance for your help!

Your battery looks pretty healthy to me. There is the possibility that the capacity will suddenly decrease though. With the capacity numbers you have, the battery should work fine for about 3 hours. I'm not sure a new battery will help with your issue.
If you disconnect the MagSafe adapter, does the computer shut off immediately? Do you have the battery status displayed in the menu bar? If so, what does it say?
Try resetting the SMC to see if that helps any:

I have a macbook and it is a dual boot system, I would like to be able to see the mac side of the system on a larger monitor. I can hook to a hdmi cable and see the pc side, but not the mac side, any suggestions?

I have a macbook that I bought second hand. The mac has a dual boot system with bootcamp on one side and snow leopard on the other. I would like to be able to hook to a larger hdmi monitor so that in both systems I could see better since on the leopard side the computer has PS4. I have purchased the dvi to HDMI accessory and purchased the HDMI to DVI cable, and can see fine on the bootcamp side, but nothing on the leopard side. Could somebody help me with configuring things so that it will see both side?
Also on a minor note, I need to purchase a new battery for this item and don't know which one to purchase. Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially with the display/monitor issue.
Thanks Sue
ps sorry but the operating system is OS X

When you try to use the Mac side on your external monitor do you get a blank screen or do you see the aurora background?
It would help to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.

Lost of voice signal iOS8 NO SERVICE and Battery Drain

I have an iphone 5, updated last week to iO8 , now I have seen battery drain much faster, after I just had Apple replace the old battery under the replacement program with a brand new one !!!, (if you had purchased an iPhone in Jan 2013), now I'm noticing that I am losing the AT&T voice and data signal, NO SERVICE !!! Apple what's going on here ??

Hello, iswho.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Battery life can be difficult to troubleshoot as multiple factors contribute to how long a charge can last. Graphic intensive applications, display brightness and data connectivity are just a few of the items that can cause the battery life to decrease rapidly. I would need to know a little more information about your usage patterns to give you and idea on how to maximize battery life. However, here are some tips on how to adjust settings and charge the device that may help.
Resolving issues
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.

I was using my ipad it was under 10% but no under 4% it turned off then i pluged the charger in and flashed on then showed apple sign after i turned it on. now its going back and forth from the apple sign and battery symbol ive changed chargers its not on

hey please help!
i was using my ipad it was under 10% but no under 4% it turned off then i pluged the charger in and flashed on then showed apple sign after i turned it on. now its going back and forth from the apple sign and battery symbol ive changed chargers its made no differnce its been like 3 hours ive tried to do that reset thing holding lock button and home button for 10 seconds at the same time. WHAT DO I DO?

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

My ipad air will not charge when connected to any outlet with its own cable and plug.

I had this Ipad Air since March 2014 and always kept it updated and charged, but since three days ago it does not seems to like its own charging cable and plug that came with it. I tried different outlets and other cords and plugs. I closed and restarted it, but no result. Now it is off because of no battery power. What can it be?

Try the following:
Option 1
1. Settings>Airplane Mode>ON
2. Turn the iPad OFF
3. Leave unit off for about 20 seconds.
4. Turn the iPad back on and it should now show "charging"
5. Turn Aeroplane Mode OFF
Option 2
Reset iPad and when the apple logo shows up, plug in the charger.

I have tried charge with wall adapter and thru USB, neither works and I know the adapter and cable are fine. Thanks for any help....

Satellite L455 - Power plug and battery LEDs on and it flashing orange

I have a Satellite L455 that has been working perfectly for over six months now but from two weeks ago it started behaving strangely.
I switched off the machine normally in the evening as I was going to sleep. In the morning when I switched it on it powered on, HDD and Power On Leds blinked blue for a few seconds then they went off. Machine did not boot. I tried to switch it on again and it did the same thing. Then I saw the 'power plug on' and 'Battery On' Leds flashing orange at the same time. I unplugged the power adapter. The two leds were still flashing but machine will not power up. I removed the battery for a bout 5 minutes then reinserted it and the machine worked fine the whole day.
I switched it off removed the power plug and in the morning still it would not boot until when I removed the battery for a few minutes then it works again. The battery is charging fine as when I remove it and reinsert it even without plugging power cable still fires up and perfectly works.
Then I removed the battery and the power plug and pressed the power button for thirty seconds to discharge the machine and then put back power and battery and it worked until I switched off again and removed power then it did not come on again.
If I just shut down machine and I dont switch off power plug then I can switch back on and work with the machine with no hassle even for three days continuously.
What could be wrong? Any help will really be appreciated.
Regards
Yusuf

Hi chidzungo,
This must be definitely a hardware malfunction but its strange why it appears every day after you have shut down the notebook. Do you use original Toshiba AC/DC adapter and battery? Have you connected external devices to your notebook? If yes remove them before you turn on your notebook.
What BIOS version is installed at the moment? You should look on Toshiba website for an update. BIOS update could also help and its worth a try.
Before you start the BIOS update read the BIOS update instructions [HERE|http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=60]
Satellite L455 seems to be an US model so the BIOS update can be downloaded on Toshiba US page but check the exact part number first:

Need Assistance with battery and battery charger U450p

I have an ideapad U450p. until today, this computer was served me exceptionally well.
for the past 2 years now I have had battery issues but because I was always able to plug it in, I did not worry about it. Yesterday, my charger has intermittently stopped charging and now I have to wiggle the cables around just to get it to connect. Since my battery doesn't hold a charge this is a problem since I get blasted with the alarm and computer shuts off.
I tried to find how to purchase a new adapter and battery but the lenovo website doesn't seem to have any information about the U450p. it spits out that my product is discontinued and sends me on a wild goose chase to some crazy off market sites.
i need this computer to be in tip top shape because i am working on my doctoral thesis and about to defense in 6 weeks. i can't have this problem and I can pay anything for proper battery and charger.
where do i find them?

hi torontostudent,
Your charging issue might be similar to this thread and it's not caused by a faulty charger but a loose DC-IN jack (it could have wear out over time if you unplug / insert the charger everyday). Upon checking this part, it's removable and replaceable. You can have it looked at a local computer repair shop see if they can reattach the loose part by soldering it to the board.
For the battery replacement, you can obtain it from the lenovo spare parts website - www.lenovospareparts.com (If a part is out of stock, click on Help at the upper right hand portion and fill out the contact form).
Best regards,
neokenchi

I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog. Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's do-able, but I don't think it's a great idea.
DVI
Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
Analogue
There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)
DAC
