Previous Recall battery falls in rage but show "invalid"

Did any of you getting the invalid even though your battery falls in range participate in the previous recall? Here I was thinking all day that the battery I got a few months back would not fall in range, but it does. Apples page where you enter the SN of laptop and battery says batery SN is invalid.
What a hassle. Thank you Sony.

I was having a problem where my laptop was recognised but the battery was not, even though it was in scope according to the numbers.
I phone Apple UK and after getting over the initial stumbling block of the guy not knowing what I was talking about. He arranged to send me out a replacement battery. He took my credit card details and said if I don't send the old one back within 10 days of receiving the new battery I would be charged. he said the battery should be with me within 7 days. The call took about 30 minutes while I was holding on the line. The number for U.K. is 0870 8760753.

Battery won't Charge, but shows "power source: power adapter"

Ever since beginning of Oct 2013 my newish (bought macbook pro retina display july 2013) decided it will no longer charge my battery, it will only provide power but nothing else. I tried using my old magsafe adapter with a magsafe 2 connector and manage to charge battery but that is also a battle to have it in right position and only after i plug in and out about 10 times. It is quite annoying, is this fixable or do i need to replace battery.
I have seen loads of other posts but not too many recent ones. Anyone having the same problem?

Thanks Clinton.
Only problem is i got my laptop in USA and I live in SA. No one really willing to help as they deem it out of warranty as not purchased here. I am going to take it in somehwere and try see if they can try with new magsafes. I have an inkling maybe might be problem with connector, but who knows. Failing that might have to suck it up and ship it back to states and miss it for couple weeks.
I did try do SMC reset, made other adapter work for like a day then nothing.
thanks again for help.

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library?

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library? I assumed that like the videos in iPhoto, I would be able to access the videos in Aperture through iMovie. Come on Apple! I am starting to get frustrated with your products here. And this is saying a lot when I have been using and loving apple products for the last 4 years.

Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
APPLE. What are you doing?

I'm afraid you'll have to get the phone serviced, dropping the phone must have damaged additional parts inside the phone.
But Apple will not service the phone anymore, opening the phone and replacing the battery should only be done by authorized personal, not by users.
You'll have to look for a 3rd party repair shop and see if they can fix this, sorry.

My battery drained. Screen shows battery with red line but doesn't seem to be recharding after 20 min. Should I wait or do a hard restart? I haven't backedup in ages and don't want to lose pics, contacts etc.

My battery drained. Pluged in to wall but screen shows battery with red line but doesn't seem to be recharding after 20 min. Should I wait longer or do a hard restart? I haven't backedup in ages and don't want to lose pics, contacts etc. Will a hard restart wipe all that out?

Agree with Richard:
-Your device needs both the CR and LF. To accomplish this:
option 1: Concatenate the "end of line" string constant (this is a combination of CR and LF, located in the string pallete) to all your outgoing commands. Make sure in the "Visa configure serial port" the "Termination character enable" flag is false.
option 2: Concatenate only a CR to your command's strings. Make sure in the "Visa configure serial port" the "Termination character enable" flag is TRUE AND that the termination character is set to 10 (meaning LF) which I think is the default.
Details can be seen in this link:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/862567530005F09C862565BE005AB500
"Adding Termination Characters to VISA Serial Writes in LabVIEW"
Interesting would be to configure the serial port to accept not one but two termination characters. The above links refers to the document "Developer Zone Tutorial: Termination Characters in NI-VISA.", where this is supposed to be possible. The document however is 404'ed.
If someone find a working link please post it.

I have just bought a macbook pro and i want to use an ext hard drive with it which i previously used on a windows computer, but when i plug it in it doesn't show up on my macbook pro, I've wiped it and just need to format it but don't know how, help

Try the other USB port. If it still doesn't show up in Disk Utility then there may be something wrong with your Mac. Try something else in each USB port and see if it is seen. If the other thing, like a USB thumb drive, does show up in disk utiltiy then the USB ports are fine.
Power down the system and restart with the drive connected, go to DU and see it it is seen.

4 days old MBP 13". First boot up showed charge of 100%, next boot up showed battery fully charged but the percentage read 98% in the subsequent boot ups the battery is fully charged but percentage reads 96%. Whats wrong??

I recently purchased a 13" MacBook Pro. On my first boot up, the battery charged to 100%. I didn't operate this thing on the battery. The next time I booted this thing up, the battery was charged but the meter read 98%. In the subequent boot ups of this machine, and I still having not used the battery, my battery is fully charged but the meter now reads 96%. IS there some problem with the hardware or the software? Help is appreciated!!
Thanks.

hey thank you for the info. Based on what happened, the battery has gone up to 100% just once when I booted this machine for the first time. On subsequent occasions the Battery Charged symbol has appreard at below 100% charging. I have been using my MacBook Pro for the whole day with outlet power and never did the battery go back to 100%. I hope I don't have to calibrate the battery on this model?

Returning recalled battery

I've just had a frustrating half an hour on the phone to UPS and then to Apple...
I live in the UK and need to return my recalled battery to the Netherlands. According to UPS, Apple have enclosed the wrong type of shipping address label (a UPS Express Saver prepaid label) and what I need is a UPS Standard Service label...UPS won't collect my recalled battery unless I have the "correct" label.
So I rang Apple and got a pleasant but puzzled person to talk to who had not heard of this before......to cut a long story short he told me I do not need to return my battery to Apple.
I told him that contradicts what is enclosed with my new battery ie: that I will be asked to pay the cost of a new battery unless I return my recalled one within 10 days. He told me not to worry about that....so I've asked him for that in writing...nothing has popped into my inbox yet (approx 7 hours later), so we'll see.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Do I HAVE to return my recalled battery?
Will I be charged if I don't?
How do I dispose safely of these types of
batteries?
Thanks in advance for your comments.

Not sure about the UK, but Apple is open on the weekends here in the US. Keep in mind that these batteries fall into a special category and it’s possible that you’re receiving the “party line” answer when you talk with Apple about returns. It’s true, they want to validate most returned components so that they aren’t simply replacing things based on your word. The defective battery issue was set in stone, based on known parameters, so there isn’t anything to validate. Also, I still have my old battery after receiving my replacement over a month ago and I haven't received any notice or charge to return it. I was never asked to provide a billing method when I filed my claim. Many owners are keeping their batteries for good measure. In fact, my old or so-called “defective” battery works better than the new replacement. I’m using my old battery right now because the new battery causes my Mac run hot - go figure.

Camera roll empty but shows 6.1 gb. Restored to original settings after backing up. When I restored the backup camera roll still shows 6.1 gb and is till empty. I imagine that the backup contains some corruption

Hi cfgolf,
Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities. I agree with your assessment that something is going on with that previous backup. If you restored from that backup and the issue continues, I would recommend restoring and Set up as new. Before you restore, make sure you Transfer content so that you can sync it back after setting up as new. The instructions on how to Transfer content and Set up as new are both listed in this article.
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4137
2. Transfer content
Before you erase your device, take a few minutes to transfer your content from your device to your computer to ensure that all your critical data is safe.
6. Set up as new
Complete the setup assistant. When prompted to set up your device, select Set Up as New iPhone and tap Next to continue.
Skip the Apple ID sign-in, in case the original issue was related to any of your content on iCloud.
Note: After setting up as new, you will need to enter the Visual Voicemail password for iPhone (on carriers that support Visual Voicemail). If you've forgotten the password, contact your carrier to help you reset it.
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
If the issue is now resolved, sync one type of content at a time back to the device. For example, if you had an issue playing music, add songs from iTunes and confirm they will play. If your contacts weren't loading successfully, add the contacts back. After each sync, test to see if the issue has returned.
Cheers,
-Joe

HT201412 ipad will not do anything but show apple icon ?

ipad will not do anything but show apple icon help please ?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hi, I'm a macbook pro user but recently my macbook just spoiled, i though was my power adapter problem because when i charge my mac battery that is depleted, it shows a very dim light and my mac just won't start up, even i bought a brand new 80 euro power adapter it still give out the same result.

Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Assistance requested

Hi there.
Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
Thanks again for your help

Battery: no time, or percentage shows

Got a "new" Battery: no time, or percentage shows, just an icon with an "x" in it when attached to the power adapter or disconnected...
Yes, Ive selected to "show time" in the preferences.
Ideas?

An "X" for the battery indicator typically indicates that the battery is not recognized. The fact that you old battery was working (albeit very minimally) would seem to indicate that there wasn't a problem with your MacBook Pro. Batteries are one of those things that I tend to steer clear of in eBay. Unlike most things, batteries degrade over time. Lithium ion/polymer batteries also have safety circuitry built into them that will prevent them from charging if they reach a certain critically low level (which can happen if stored for a prolonged period). When you purchase something from eBay, you have no idea how long the battery may have been sitting around. You also indicated that the battery didn't look new. It sounds like the battery is faulty. You should return it to the seller. I would suggest a refund vs. an exchange. eBay is great for lots of things, but when it comes to batteries, your best bet is to purchase them directly from the manufacturer or reputable retailer.

Lenovo T410s, T420s, T430s, Ultrabay battery falls off

Hi,
At the company i am working at we have bought a whole bunch of T410s, T420s and some brand new T430s with a extra battery (ultrabay) instead of a DVD player, but for some reason the extra battery falls off at random when you lift the laptop. This problem is not on every laptop but i'ts on 3/10 of them.
It seems like the lock for the dvd/battery is broken, but I've open it up and made sure nothing was broken. Nada, but on one of the computers (a t430s) the battery connector was broken and some small parts of the battery was still stuck on it, like someone has bruteforced the battery to connect to the computer to not fall off.
Might this hardware problem be a cause of wrong batterys for the model? Or is this factory-related?
Ideas on how to fix this or is it just to send them to lenovo for repair?

I've found a way to start battery charge process - turn off (disable) BIOS -> I/O -> "Ultrabay CD/HDD". But the problem is that charge current is too small - it starts at 0.10A, then (very quick) drops to 0.01A value and stops when 2% of capacity. What is this? I need to work (I'm a microelectronics engineer), not to repair notebook.
PS I'm monitoring current at Power Manager software.

Battery is fully charged but the camera says it is not

The battery is fully charged but the camera low battery icon flashes as soon as it is turned on. I know the battery is good because when I place it into my other Mavica camera it shows a fully charged battery. What can I do?

Toni,
Based on the information, it seems that there is an issue with the Camera software. If the battery model that you’re using is the one suggested by the Camera, then you need to send the Camera for service.
You can initiate service request from the below page:
