Problem with battery after switching to SSD drive

HI
(macbook pro late 2011 13 inch, 2.7 Mhz, 8 Giga ram OS Yosemite)
I have replaced my hard drive to a new SSD drive (Samsung 850EVO 500 GB).
Before that my battery worked wonderfully- when fully charged I could work normally (Wifi and "normal" use) for 4-6 hours.
Immediately after replacing I can "squeeze" at most only 3-4 hours of working.
Any one has encountered similar problem? what did I do wrong? I must say I did this upgrade for my brother's computer, exactly the same computer and he has the same problem but even worst.
(I ran a test with iStat pro and got "85% health battery").
Thanks for the help!

I don't see a new topic link anywhere so please forgive me.
I just got my mac today and ive searched through the forums and typed in advanced searches and I cannot seem to find a answer. I cant even register my mini because something is wrong with the serial number I been on the internet and usually when i'd get done for the day on the internet I would do a disk clean up and defrag my pc. My question is there any way I can do a disk clean up and defrag on a mac? Please help
Oh and I have another question. I read about some kinda feature that allows me to use my mac mini to share a internet connection with a another computer. But im not too sure if they were just talking about a network or whatever. But could I do so if I wanted to connect a ps3 to my mini with a ethernet cord and use the mini's wifi feature to share the internet?

New air problem with battery after upgrade to 10.6.5

Hi List.
I bought new air about month ago. Everything was working like a charm.
2 days ago I did macos upgrade and I have big problem with battery performance. Only 2 hours of working after full charging. I decided to downgrade system to 10.6.4 and problem's gone.
Is there something wrong with 10.6.5 on new air?

Hi,
I dont think there is something wrong with 10.6.5 simply because I have no problem with it
Since battery management is one of the SMCs, resetting it may solve the issue.

Problems with Dashboard (after partitioning the hard drive?)

I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. Yesterday I partitioned the drive to also run Windows, using Boot Camp. Everything worked fine after I completed Boot Camp.
Now my Dashboard is not working correctly. It opens and closes, and certain widgets work, but others are non-responsive. Some won't even let me close them. I opened the "Manage Widgets" widget, and that is blank and also will not close.
I also installed all new software updates yesterday, but those are the only changes that I have made.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

First, in general, you should only be using the hardware drivers from your model's Toshiba support page. As well, you should not allow Windows Update to change any of your Toshiba supplied hardware drivers.
After doing a clean install, the order that the drivers are installed in is critical for success. This is 1st chipset, 2nd display, then all other drivers. But, on a Toshiba, after installing all the hardware drivers, you are going to have to install some of the Toshiba utilities for it to work properly. Again, the order is critical, this would be 1st TVAP (Toshiba Value Added Package), 2nd Toshiba Flash Card Support Utility, then all other Toshiba Utilities.
However, like everything, there can be other factors and complications. For example, on your system you could have either an nVidia or Realtek sound card. In this case, you can try each driver and see which installs and works.
But, I would strongly recommend that you breakdown and order the set of Toshiba recovery media for your system, which you can do here. You will just need to input the serial number from the Toshiba label on the bottom of your unit. This will rebuild your Toshiba HDD recovery partition, reinstall Windows 7 with an imbedded product key, and install all the drivers, utilities and software your system came with, as listed in your specifications.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

Problems with iTunes after installing an SSD/HDD on my Macbook Pro

Hello everybody,
I decided to install a SSD on my Macbook Pro, replacing the optical drive with it, then I set up the new disk to be the boot drive and left the HDD on its place to store media and stuff.
Obviously, my library now is on the HDD, but when I try to delete a file via iTunes I get a partial elimination, or no elimination at all. The songs remain on their place on iTunes. I have no idea why. My only theory is related to the TRIM option: I have a small application that enabled it on both drives, so maybe it may be a pain for the HDD?
Any help?
Thanks!

First, spinning hard drives don't use TRIM, so you can't enable it on your HD, only your SSD.
Is your SSD your boot drive? Where do you have your iTunes media stored? There's a right way and a wrong way to change the location of the media - see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449.
Good luck,
Clinton

Problem with gigabit after upgrade to hard drive

I just upgraded my hard drive to a 7200.2 and re-installed 10.4. Set up my network with a static IP and manually set my Ethernet card to 1000 and full duplex but am only seeing about 1.3MB/s transfer rates from my NAS. Before the upgrade I was seeing 30MB/s. Is there something I might have missed.
My network:
Mini 1.6GHz, Infrant ReadyNAS, both running gigabit jumbo frames at 7936 frames. Netgear gigabit switch, cat6 or cat5e cabling.
Again prior to the hard drive upgrade I was seeing 30MB/s
now I am seeing 1.3MB/s

Problems with email after switching from POP to IMAP

I recently switched from POP to IMAP settings on my MacBook Pro (OS X Yosemite 10.10.2). My email seems to time out and then my emails seem to disappear. Then I have to logout and re-launch every few minutes to keep seeing my emails. Everything seems to be working fine for my iPhone and it's IMAP settings. Any ideas anyone?

That is incorrect.
well, it always worked this way for me on all my imap accounts (I have 4).
and I've seen lots and lots of posts describing the same behavior. I don't know what's going on in your case.
I have two email accounts, both use IMAP IDLE, and I get the new mail sound each and every time a new mail message is delivered to either.
So there's some other factor at work here.

After updating my 4s to ios6, I'm having the same problems with wi-fi switching to cellular on it's own and running up my data usage.....anyone else having this problem?

The iPhone is DESIGNED to switch to cellular data when asleep, unless it's connected to a power source, in which case it will stay logged onto the WiFi network. iPhones have ALWAYS behaved this way.
Either turn cellular data off at night, or leave your phone connected to a power source to continue the WiFI.

Problem with battery running down more quickly after downloading OS6 to 3GS iPhone

Problem with battery running down more quickly after I downloaded OS6 to 3GS iPhone.

gdgmacguy
I guess I should have asked for the "definitive" fix. I read several "fixes" but it seems no one knows if Apple has a definitive fix. Kind of like going into an Apple store and getting three different answers from three different reps. At least they are not rude and no, I don't have a problem searching the forum.

Any help would be appreciated.

hi fireguy1957,
Welcome to the Forums.
Can you try to:
1. Ensure there's no recent apps running on the background
2. Turn off wifi, bluetooth, adjust brightness to minimum
3. Turn off automatic system updates under Settings > About Tablet > System Update > Auto Check Interval
4. Navigate to Settings > Apps > Running Tab and stop the process that you don't need to squeeze out more juice on that battery.
After you made the changes above, run the application that you use and observe the tablet.
Hope this helps

Problem with battery for MacBook Pro 2007

I have a problem with battery that was replaced during video card service 1.5 years ago
Battery health was around 80% and it stopped to work, I continued to use notebook with power cable and after week the battery become like this!
spoke with person in Apple store and got answer that it is not covered by Apple and I will need to buy another new battery.
For me it looks like manufacturing problem and I'm not expecting that after 1 year my battery will die like this! Thanks that it didn't explode!
What I should do in such case?

Thanks for your reply!
All my battery story is ending with bad taste...
I always relied on quality of the Apple products, it brought me to change all computers and phones to Apple brand. I was ready to pay extra for their products...
This battery has an Apple brand on it and I'm expecting that Apple will take some responsibility for it.
First battery on my MacBook Pro 2007 worked without any problem for 4 years, then it was replaced by Apple service tech person for unknown reason. This "new" battery failed just after ending of 1 year warranty coverage and even deformed in such scarry way. And now I don't have any option to ask if there is possibility that I'm experience a manufacturing defect! And I know that it is possible, internet is full of negative comments for these batteries!
Now I'm asking myself again, if it worst to buy Apple products? Are these products have proper quality?

Problem with a Toshiba PX1267E 320 external drive

Hello all
I have a problem with a Toshiba px1267e 320 external drive, when all was ok with it I would switch on and the blue led would come on and change blue /violet as it was found on my laptop, a small vibration could be felt if I handled the case indicating that the d/d motor was on.
On that fateful morning I switched on did an explore in my computer and found no ext drive, checked the drive blue led on touched the case could detect no vibration, unclipped the drive from the case put my ear to it heard faint clicking.
I removed device and connected to caddie, this time I could feel the motor going, connected to laptop, new hardware found did my computer explore and found no drive, checked device manager and found it so I uninstalled and reconnected usb with same result.
I am not sure what do next.
I had a word with computer shop if they could recover a while I wait they said at least a 6 hour job if possible (dont want to leave at shop)
Bought me another western digital same model no and also new power supply to try swapping the electronics board just in case therein lies the fault /or possible us power/s but I am clutching at straws here.
Any of you guys here got anything like this happen ? any suggestions?
I am curious to know what they would try in the shop to recover although he said he couldn't guarantee results.
I would welcome any helpful suggestions (not throw it in the bin)

I think the external HDD is dead
Maybe its a head crash this would explain the faint clicking and other noises
Unfortunately, I such case you can do nothing

Hello!
I recently just downloaded the 'Waze' app as a backup for my Garmin. I've read a few reviews that seem to rant and rave about how good the GPS app is. It is community driven and maps are constantly being updated by users. Plus it has a few other fun stuff in it (something similar to Gasbuddy where you can owe prices on the map). But like the person above me said, there is lots of useful free GPS apps in the App Store.
Oh and I may be wrong but I remember reading an article about Google being slower about updating its maps system--ie no turn by turn voice, which many people have had complaints about.
Happy Searching!
Ps - if you switch I wouldn't go to Blackberry.

Problem with the connection to the hard drive.

G5 Single core 1.8GHz stop working. I was told that there is a problem with the connection to the hard drive.
It boots but freezes after a few minutes and fans go full blast.....
Is this a logicboard problem, or something that can be fixed with a little work?

Hi j hallow-
Whose diagnosis declared a bad connection?
Have you opened it up and looked inside? It may need to be cleaned out.
You could install a second know good SATA drive and see what happens: Hard Drive Replacement Instructions

I am using my Ipad on a remote craftshow site and am having problems with battery lasting 8 hrs. Can I use a 12v rv battery to recharge it or atleast maintain the charg over longer periods of time? I have a dc adapter. thanks

You should be able to use the battery if you get a car type charger which recharges mobile devices.
The full size iPads use a 10-12W charger, whereas the mini uses a 5W charger. Many car chargers only supply 5W. But at 5W, the car charger should give you some extra time on your iPad. It would be best to use a 10-12W car charger.

Problem with Java after Software Update to 10.5.7

Hi,
I am facing problem with Java after having run Software upgrades.
Here is the whole story. I recently moved to iMac 10.5.6 from PowerPc 10.4. On this new machine I was having problem running a 3rd party application, which requires JVM. As this application worked well on Tiger, I decided to upgrade JVM on my iMAC using Software Upgrade(was I insane!!). As I like my systems to be updated (as with linux on my personal machine) I clicked "install all". As a result I have the following upgrades run on my machine:
2009-05-20 13:12:01 +0200: Installed "Mac OS X Update Combined" (10.5.7)
2009-05-20 13:12:10 +0200: Installed "Remote Desktop Client Update" (3.2.2)

2009-05-20 13:59:58 +0200: Installed "iTunes" (8.1.1)
But now, simply running $java on the prompt hangs, i.e. it takes no action.
