Sorry, but where "Hardware" in menu ?
You are in the wrong place.  Click on the Apple in the left corner on your desktop and then click "About This Mac."
In the next window, click on the More Info button
Your battery info as previously requested is what we need to see.

  • Can I install only Windows on my Macbook Pro 2009?

    Hello All,
    For reasons far outwith my control. i.e. I am in the middle of borneo, needing desperatly to get on a full windows machine... I need answers to the following?
    I have full gen versions of Windows 7 and MS Office 2010. I want to run these on my 13" MacBook Pro 2009. I know, boot camp, VMware etc are all great. But i can't at this time get those working.
    I think, the best option is to just buy a HDD, remove the old one, install fresh copy (of win) onto new HHD.
    However, my question is - will this work?
    Thanks
    Craig

    As TheSmokeMonster indicated, you'll need to use either virtualization or BootCamp.  BootCamp prepares your system to allow Windows to be installable on it (it also provides the drives for some of the hardware which may not be found elsewhere).  Virtualization runs in OS X, so that should be a non-issue.  Keep in mind, all firmware updates are only via OS X, so you would not be able to update your firmware unless you have a functioning bootable external OS X volume.
    BootCamp does basically give you a full Windows machine... it just allows dual booting between Windows and OS X.

  • Macbook pro runs out of battery too quickly?

    I have had my laptop for over 3 years now and has been used well maybe it is near the end of its life

  • Why does my MacBook Pro sometimes restores its RAM when I open it, even though it did not run out of battery?

    Sometimes when I open my MacBook Pro, it restores its RAM, as if it has run out of battery, even though it has not run out of battery and it has been charging. Why does this happen, and should it be happening?

    It's similar to hybernation mode in Windows.
    If you put your laptop to sleep, after X amount of hours it will move to the "deeper" sleep level (save memory to disk and shut down...), to save up battery.
    Otherwise if you left your laptop asleep in the evening, you could wake up to a dead battery. Not a great surprise when you in hurry to leave the house with your laptop...

  • MacBook Pro doesn't hibernate when runs out of battery

    Dear all,
    I've been experiencyng this issue for quite a while now and is very frustrating. My MacBook Pro (Early 2011) doens't go to sleep as it should when runs out of battery. It simply dies. This is not a continuous issues as it happens 1/2 oh the times that battery runs out and I cannot connect it to power (low battery warning is also working perfectly).
    Mac is stock besides HDD (now SSD) and RAMs. Battery stock as well and loks good in sysinfo (attached):

    Hi all,
    Thnk you for the reply.
    @andyBall: I though that the battery might run out sooner than what it reports, however it typically behaves behaves quite well - 5+ hours after fully charged and approximately 10 minutes of operation after low battery warning. Very hard that battery is running out before the system realize that. Yet I have to try the SMC reset. Will revert.
    @SilverSkyRat: I have one iCloud and one Gmail for work. Today I have disabled both and OS hibernated well (no failure). Later in the day I reactivated Gmail and system still hibernated fine. I mainly use the Mac for work therefore it's rather difficult to perform continus test of this kind. Although, system somtimes hibernates fine with also all account active.
    General question, which are the program associated with "Address Book Source Sync"? Only "Contacts"?
    Also, I have Little Snitch on the computer, may this be anyhow linked with this issue in your opinion/experience?
    Best regards,
    Alex

  • When my MacBook Pro i7 runs out of battery, it powers off.

    I can't seem to figure out why my new macbook pro turns off when it runs out of battery. Typically, when macs run out of battery, they go into sleep mode. However mine skips this completely and just turns off. Any similar problems? any ideas?

    I have an update regarding this issue. Since receiving my new MacBook Pro, I have calibrated the battery 3 times. Here are my findings of each calibration when the battery reaches 0% charge:
    1st calibration: MacBook Pro enters SafeSleep (saving contents of memory to HD) and powers down (no pulsating light indicating memory is still being maintained until plugged-in or battery reserves are depleted). Plugging adapter in and powering up results in memory being restored from HD.
    2nd calibration: Same as 1st calibration
    3rd calibration: MacBook Pro shuts down without entering SafeSleep. Plugging adapter in and powering up results in normal boot sequence with logs indicating improper shutdown.
    SMC and PRAM have been reset prior to these calibrations.
    pmset -g returns the following (looks normal to me):
    Active Profiles:
    Battery Power 1
    AC Power -1*
    Currently in use:
    womp 1
    halfdim 1
    sms 1
    hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage
    gpuswitch 2
    disksleep 10
    sleep 0
    hibernatemode 3
    ttyskeepawake 1
    displaysleep 10
    acwake 0
    lidwake 1
    I don't think this is the intended behavior for this MacBook Pro. I've started a case with AppleCare and I hope an engineer will respond to what I'm experiencing as I don't think this is normal. It appears that the MacBook Pro is not accurately determining the bottom threshold of the battery. It thinks there are reserves when there is actually none, causing weird behavior at the end of the battery charge life.
    Anybody else experiencing this with their MacBook Pro 15" i7?
    Will update as soon as I find out more.

  • Why does my iphone 4s run out of battery so quick?

    Why does my iphone 4s run out of battery so quick?

    What do you mean by 'quick'? If you mean a few hours then I think it is normal (it's normal for me: 4+ hours for me depending on what I use it for). If you play apps with really good graphics it will make the battery go quicker. If you don't use it for much, then the battery might have gone out-of-sync with the battery percentage it thinks it has (I am not sure if this happens with apple devices though)

  • Nokia x6 runs out of battery too quickly, maybe bc...

    Hello,
    My nokia x6 runs out of battery in 5/6 hours without being in use.
    This began to happen one day, when I was listening to music in the music player and the screen froze and didn't respond. I tried everything, but the only thing that worked out was removing the battery.
    Since then, when I try to access the music player, the screen goes black and doesn't show anything I press the red button to hide the application. It shows me the menu and says that music player is hidden. When I try to close it, nothing happens.
    5/6 hours after I charged the battery, it runs down and when I turn it on again, there's no sign of the music player being hidden, but when I try to open it, it does what I've mentioned before.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you very much.

    before the hard reset you should make a backup using ovi suite. the hard reset will only delete the contents of the phone C: memory.
    make sure the device is switched off.
    now press and hold the green (answer) key + the red key and the camera button. while holding those buttons switch on the device, don't release the buttons until you see the "country selector" list. if you don't see that, do it again.

  • My iphone 4s gets hot and runs out of battery very quickly

    My iphone 4s gets hot and runs out of battery very quickly

    you should avoid keeping it in extreme temperatures, use it as little as possible, and avoid overcharging which means that you should unplug your iphone as soon as it hits 100% battery

  • MBP running out of battery power before sleeping - Help!

    Hi
    My MacBook Pro has been running out of battery power before the memory-saving sleep mode kicks in, so it dies with a little click of the HD. It's not a hibernation state as when I reattach the power supply it boots up a new session.
    I've noticed this since upgrading to Snow Leopard last year, but put it down to an old battery that had 45% charge and wasn't powering the MBP properly. I now have a replacement A1175 5600mAh battery which is giving me 2-3hrs usage (which I'm pleased at), but now it still dies before sleeping!
    I have tried to cycle the new battery, but can't. I have reset the SMC several times, with no effect.
    I used to cycle the battery every week or two, running it down until it would no longer wake from sleep, recharge overnight etc, but now I can't do this because it will die before sleeping!
    I've read quite a few articles over the net about this issue, but there seems like no cure. It's really annoying me now as I frequently work on the move and a dying MBP could potentially be disastrous.
    Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Is there something I haven't tried yet? I think it's a late '06 MBP.

    If you are not getting a warning, then there is something amiss with your battery. If a SMC reset and calibration does not fix the problem, then you may need to make an appointment at the genius bar and arrange to have your battery tested.
    My old battery started doing the same thing--shutting down without warning. I replaced it, and the replacement battery started doing the exact same thing. I then returned the replacement, and the next replacement battery behaves in a normal fashion.
    My first battery was worn out. My second battery was defective. My third battery is good.
    Your battery should still be under warranty. Go back to where you got it and show them what it is doing and see if you can get a replacement.
    Good luck!

  • Problem after running out of battery.

    My MACBOOK PRO running on OS X Lion shut down the other day after completelly running out of battery. Ever since, I have started having problems with my browsers. Certain pages such as facebook wont load aswell as videos. On top of that it keeps asking me to verify the certificates of any page I want to go to and  it keeps telling me that my date and time have been set to 1.1.2008 (although i changed it back the first time i saw it and since the date is still alright).
    What do I have to do?

    After charging at least overnight try the remaining items of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 another cable       
    - 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.

  • Does anyone know How to run twin monitors on a MacBook Pro operating on a Windows Server 2008 R2 ?

    Hi
    Does anyone know How to run twin monitors on a MacBook Pro operating on a Windows Server 2008 R2 ?

    I know this doesn't help you much, but, I think you have to see if your Mac pro does audio out via HDMI. I don't even know if mine does via DVI. I think it may have to do with the adapter. Try going into Audio MIDI and setting the digital out to multichannel
    and using the toslink cable for now. Lemme see...apparently DVI does not carry audio at all. Hm. apparently monoprice could be helpful?  If I understand what you're saying correctly: you want to take DVI and multichannel audio via the Toslink and have it all go out over HDMI, right? Whooo..... amazon...looks like it's about $100http://www.amazon.com/Audio-SPDIF-Toslink-Converter-Adapter/dp/B0015YYOQQ
    just a shot in the dark
    I'm probably wrong....or not
