Problem with battery life on windows 7

Hi,
I just got my mbp 13", formatted it and installed windows 7 because of my work and needed applications buy my battery says only 3hr 45min left
I thought it would last at least 6 hours
or I should update something ?
I had boot camp 2.1 but upgraded to 2.2 and it is the same
I read that some have boot camp 3.0 but I can't find where to download it and I am not sure if it will help me ?

For winscp try this though such capabilities are really built into the MacOS anyway.
For Telnet/ssh see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1078161 or http://www.lysator.liu.se/~jonasw/freeware/niftyssh/ or a heap of other Mac software options, free . shareware and commercial.
As far as HSLW goes, it seems you will need to convince the developers that they need to broaden their horizons if they don't want to miss out on a rapidly growing share of the market- see http://forum.hlsw.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1491&p=5454&hilit=Mac#p5454 - though there may be alternatives if you dig around.
Cheers

  • Problems with battery life on idea Tab A2109A

    I have retuned my idea pad twice to lenovo for repair due to long battery charge time and short battery life, received it back yesterday,charged it, downloaded my kobo library,around 10 minutes this morning it is now 55% wifi.bluetooth tec was switched off. have any other users had problems with battery life.(lenovo support say that it should run for 10 hrs on wifi dependant on what you are doing.) 
    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 life on 6.2.1

    Since the update for IOS 6.2.1 about 4 days ago, I have noticed deteriorated battery life from the prior version.  As a workaround I have tried to reset my phone and reset all email information as recommended.  Updated settings to prevent push notifications, removed notifications and many other functions that were not causing me problems before, but to no avail. 
    Within 15 minutes of my phone being disconnected from the charger, the battery life decreases by 5-7% with the phone idle (Screen off).
    Has anyone else encountered this and have you been able to correct the issue?
    Thank you!

    Hi BK, I updated my iPhone, my iPad and my iPod Touch and my batteries are draining like water.  I am a school teacher and usually when I leave work at 4:30pm, my iPhone is at 74 to 76%  Today I had to charge my phone 4 times at work because it kept on draining.  My iPad is even worse, when I get home, my baterry is always at 97 to 98%. Today, I needed to use my iPad at work and from 100% at 9:00am it was completely dead at 2:30pm with no usage.  I was shocked!  I called Apple and they said that they are not aware of any problems with battery life and this update.  I went to Best Buy and the Geek Squad toldme that it is a very well known problem.  They are the ones that told me that the Apple boards was full of complaints regarding this issue.  So I called Apple again, and they continue to tell me that it must be my device.  Really?  All of my devices, my coworkers, my father's, my sister's are all having the same problem and they won't own up to it.  This update was supposed to improve battery life and instead, we got a nightmare.  Please fix this now!

  • Problems with battery life post reset and 12070 wi...

    Hi
    I have been trying to get my Lumia 800 battery life to decent levels but even with a hard reset and the 12070 update my battery with 3g turned on struggles to last 12 hours even without use.
    I have tried just about everything but when I turn 3G off battery life is brilliant. If I turn 3G on though initially battery drain seems okay at 80ma but after 5 mins or so it increases to 250ma even going as high as 350ma.
    The only thing I can think is that the 3G part has an issue but I am not 100% sure how I go about checking this out.
    I do not have a service center near I think (North East Scotland)
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

    Hi all,
    @kinaton,
    While that is true the point here is that when a network had bad signal it will cause the Lumia to use a lot more energy to (continuously) try and get a connection as long as you have mobile data enabled. If your network does not support EDGE anymore it would be best to switch off mobile data all together as at those moments it's hardly usable anyway with the connection cutting out regularly.
    @alwaysZeroHour
    With the described action I get about 32-35hours of usage myself, having mobile data and WiFi on all the time and actively using it throughout the day. Not that it is an issue either way as I connect my Lumia to the charger as soon as When I am at home anyway.
    If you have any further questions let me know.

  • Problem with Battery Driver in Windows SP 3

    Recently I Installed Windows SP3 using bootcamp
    after installation I proceeded to install the mac hardware drivers for windows.
    for some reason I am not able to view current battery level in windows and it always shows that there is no driver for batteries and prompts me to find and install the drivers (found new hardware wizard). Even using the wizard i am unable to install any sort of driver. I have tried repairing the drivers with the mac OS X install DVD but the problem persists.
    Please help. Thanks

    Hi Linda and welcome to Discussions,
    according to the list Apple provides here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3777 a battery driver is not included in the BootCamp Drivers.
    Sorry

  • Problem with battery when using windows 7

    I have a new 13" mac book pro. I install windows 7 and used autocad 2010 on windows. My battery usage is very high and i lost all my power in 2:15 hr. Is there anything wrong or if i uninstall the windows 7 again my mac has a good battery life.

    The best of course would be to shutdown Parallels when you do not need it or use the feature called Standby to start at the same point where to stopped when Windows is started again in Parallels.
    What I usually do is to have my laptop running on power as long as I am sitting on my desk during the day. Only when I am in meetings or work from my home office, I let it run on battery so that it gets de-charged from time to time to save some battery life.

  • HT4623 Are other IPAD 5 users experiencing problems with battery life?

    The battery on my IPAD is quite disappointing in terms of its longevity.  I am using the iPAD in my studies and am surprised that during a lecture day I am normally having to charge it at lunchtime.
    Are other users experiencing similar issues?

    FYI
    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.

  • Serious problems with battery life in 17" MBP 2011

    My battery seems to be getting worse and worse. Today I did a photo presentation pluged into the TV. Lasted about 20 minutes. Just flicking through photos, nothing intensive. My battery was at %100 when I started and when done it was at %62. %38 drop in 20 minutes and all I was doing is going through pictures. Something seems very wrong.
    I would appreciate any intelligent advice.
    Thnx!

    From Tekserve in NYC. I purchase almost all my equipment there.
    Hey there,
    It looks like we actually can not replace this battery. Unfortunately because it's a 17" model, the batteries are no longer being made.
    I would recommend searching on Amazon and seeing if you have any luck!
    Apologies for the inconvenience,

    Then I sent an email saying Waaah!? And this was her reply.
    Apple discontinued the 17" model and stopped making parts.
    I recommend calling Apple directly at 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7743).
    You WILL be answered by a "robot" but it usually takes less than 3 minutes to get to a person.

  • I have a problem in battery life time with iphone5s

    I have a problem in battery life time with iphone5s

    Do you have background app refresh enabled under settings then general. Also check under Settings->General->Accessibility->check if reduce motion is turned on. Also if you are using Dynamic wallpapers the movement in the background will eat your battery life quite a bit.

  • T500 Battery Life post Windows 7 Upgrade

    Have a 6 month old T500 which I love.  Always had good battery life (can't remember the duration, but never had an issue with battery life).
    Earlier this week, I did the Windows 7 Upgrade (machine originally came with Windows Vista OS).  After doing the upgrade, I've noticed a substantial decrease in battery life (now lasts for about 2 hours max).
    Have reinstalled ThinkVantage Power Manager and Toolbox applications, but that hasn't helped.  Also did power meter reset, but that doesn't seemed to have helped.
    Has anyone else experienced this?  Any suggestions out there?

  • Problems with shutdown, expose and window switching

    Hi there,
    Recently I've been having a few issues with OS X. First of all it wasn't shutting down properly -- the menu bar would disappear and it would look like it was going to shutdown, but it never did. I could move down to the dock (on auto-hide) and it would re-appear, at which point I can bring up a terminal window and use 'shutdown' to do the job. On startup I'd reset the PRAM, and then do a disk-check, but the problem keeps coming back.
    Subsequently, I've also been having problems with expose and switching windows (i.e. command-tab). Namely, neither of them work. Expose won't fire from either hot corners or the keyboard, and if I re-launch the app from the Apps folder (without trying to kill it first, I should say), it does nothing. Cmd-tab gets interpreted as just tab, and the keyboard shortcut for dashboard also fails (although I can start the dashboard from the dock).
    I read in another post about an invalid jpeg in the downloads folder being able to cause the Expose problem (seems like a most unlikely bug?). Anyway, I cleared all pictures from my downloads folder and functionality came back, but now it's gone again. It's really very frustrating as it makes moving between windows a lot more hassle.
    Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
    TIA,
    Mat

    This sounds interesting.
    Can you post a copy for the rest of us to see?
    As for actually helping you, and not just satisfying our curiousity, if you start cutting pieces of the code you will probably end up finding the source of the problem (and we won't have too big a program to handle). Since DSC is a likely suspect, you may want to start there.
    Also, are you creating an installer and using that to install? If not, you may wish to try that.

  • 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?

  • 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 Captivate 4 and Windows 8

    Hi,
    I've a problem with Captivate 4 on Windows 8 projects :
    The mouse is not tracked.
    I've applied the last patch for this version (11/15/2011).
    Is there another patch for this ?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi there
    I know this will come off as sounding snarky, but please know it's honestly not intended that way,
    Windows 8?
    I never was able to make Captivate 4 run successfully on Windows 7. So I'm not the least bit surprised to hear it has issues with Windows 8!
    Personally, I'm thinking you are due for an upgrade to Captivate if you want it to work on Windows 8. But then again, I'm not even certain if Captivate 6 is Windows 8 compatible.
    Cheers... Rick
