"Replace Battery" only six months old?

System Profiler says under battery condition says "Replace Now." coconutBattery app also says to replace battery. Battery is six months old, non-Apple but reputable third party, 107 cycles. Could this be a problem other than the battery caused by some problem with the computer?

That's what you get with most third-party batteries. Always use original batteries for your MacBook if you don't want problems.
It looks like OS X detected something in the battery that may make it fail. My advice is to replace the battery you have by an original warranty, and everything should be back to normal

IMAC Won't start up its only 6 months old so I am frustrated.

This is the second time it has done this, the first time it froze when I clicked yes to and update, when I tried to turn it back on I got nothing but 3 beeps, so I got on my daughters PC and trouble shot the MAC finally got it back up and thought it was doing great. But the other day when I got up it was shut down (do not think there was a power outage, saw no evidence of one on other electronics)Any way when I turn it on the fans start it makes the noise like it is starting up then it starts the 3 beeps in a row pause 3 beeps again. I again got on my daughters netbook and tried to trouble shoot, but this time nothing is working. Any advise? Or is anyone else having this problem. I can't believe I am having problems with it already. This is my first MAC and I was so excited to get it, but now not so sure.

I would use the procedure to reset SMC
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
which is basically disconnecting ALL cables and power, and reconnecting it following a precise procedure. When you reconnect the power cord, if you have been using a crowded or old power strip (surge suppressor), try connecting it directly to the wall outlet, at least initially. Then power it up. If that allows it to start up properly, connect just your keyboard/mouse. Use it that way for a while. You should also use this procedure to reset PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
If all is well, you can add your peripheral (USB/FireWire) devices one by one. If the problem recurs at some point, check the possibility that the last device you added is causing this problem.
NOTE: After the SMC reset procedure, if the iMac still does not start up properly, even with nothing except the power cord connected, you should have it looked at by a technician at an Apple Store or Apple-certified shop. If it's only six months old, it still covered by the one-year warranty.

I have a six months old iPhone 5s, it discharges the battery in 1/2 day without extensive use, 5 trips to the Genius Bar to no avail... Frustrated.. Ready to get rid of the phone, very disappointed in apple support!!

I have a six months old iPhone 5s that I use and have to use for work purposes, I have for a approximate battery life of seven or eight hours.
I went to the Genius Bar on five occasions and did not receive substantial help. I was told that I would have some applications crashing in the background but was unable to be told which ones they were. The phone is still on the warranty, but it's Apple tells me that it is not the hardware but my usage. I compared it to some of my colleagues and none of them has a battery problem like I do. I feel like I am left with a product that is not stand up to its specifications, and as a customer being totally left alone with a smart phone that does not even last through a workday. Any suggestions how to get through to Apple with this?? I was always very impressed with Apple's customer service and care up until now, obviously. Now Im ready to jump ship...

Thought it had worked but soon found out it had not.
after further days of trying finally, solved it for me Yesterday.
turned off notifications when locked, and bingo, wow.
i have not turned off iCloud but location services are also off.
best thing to do I found was keep checking your usage, settings, general, usage, and flip down to bottom, if the standby and usage are similar there is a problem, if there is a big difference then all is ok. Just keep turning things off and on until the difference is very apparent.
something on my phone was keeping the phone alive even when turned off, and I think this was the phone repeatedly trying to update continually.
to me this is definitely down to the iOS, my wife has exactly same phone and iOS but hers doesn't have any problem and the battery lasts for days.
the guy at the Genius Bar told me to restore the phone via iTunes, not iCloud. This is because iCloud remembers the exact info from your phone and simply reinstates it when you restore, and this includes the iOS too.
when I get home from holidays that's what I'll do, or wait for iOS 8 in few weeks. But I'm so pleased I finally made it work, I was beginning to think ditch the phone and buy Samsung.
anyway anyone out there please try my final solution and let me know if it works for you?

HT1349 My ipod touch 4th gen, will not let me access facebook or you tube it just takes ages to load then fails. I have reset the ipod but its still doing the same. Its only two months old, does anyone know how to fix it?

My sons ipod touch has stopped letting him access facebook or you tube. On entering the app or going in via safari it just states loading for ages then fails, I have reset it for him, but it hasn't helped. Is this a common problem? It is only 2 months old.

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.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPad frame shattered only six days old

My ipad2 is only six days old, I keep the smart cover on it, and have the wrapsol screen protector on it. I noticed today that other frame area around the screen is shattered on each side of the home button, which is where I hold it when reading books on it. I am the only person who uses it, we have no children in the home, and I am very careful with this. Needless to say, I am quite sick over this. I would understand had I dropped it, but it has not been dropped. Any ideas as to what I can do about this?

Take it back to Walmart. Maybe they'll take pitty on you, but don't be surprised if they don't.
If you do wind up buying a new iPad, add AppleCare+. It costs $99 and gives you two years of actual technical support and two replacements at $49 within that two year period for damaged devices, with no questions asked.
Like Philly said though, there's nothing we can do for you here other than offer sympathy for your siutation,

I have coloured vertical lines about a quarter of the way from the left of the picture when using my apple tv 2. Anyone got any idea what is causing it. Have done a reset but still same. ATV2 is only a month old.

Just to make sure, try a different set of cables. If the problem persists, have the unit replaced by Apple.

My iPhone 4s is only 4 months old, and it will not charge, I'm a little ticked off.

My Verizon iPhone 4s is only 4 months old and all of a sudden it's not charging, and the speakers work when they want to. The phone has never been water damaged. The phone has never been dropped on anything hard, always has had a case on it, and I'm seriously upset with this. None of my other apple products have I ever had a problem with.

It's under warranty. Take it in and let the genius have a look. If it's defective, it will be replaced.
So long as you didn't do something stupid like jailbreaking it.

Hello Jesslocko,
Before following the iPad Restore process make sure you have updated version of iTunes installed on your computer, to check that Open iTunes on your computer click on Help and then check for updates ( If there is any updates available then Install it ) and If you do not have iTunes Installed or if you want to directly update the version of your iTunes then Download and Install iTunes from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
1. Make sure your device (iPad) is unplugged (Disconnected) from your computer (this should be the computer that you use to sync your iPad or you can use any other computer with iTunes installed in it). You can leave the USB cable connected to your iPad though.
2. Turn off your iPad. Press and hold the power button on the top edge until a slider appears. Slide it from left to right to power off your device. If the slider doesn't appear (because your iOS device has frozen up) then hold the power and Home buttons down until the iPhone or iPad turns off.
3. Ensure your device has a decent amount of charge. Leave it plugged in to the mains for 10 minutes or so if you see the flat battery icon. (iPad low battery)
4. Hold down the Home button (the round button at the bottom of your iPad screen) and connect the other end of USB cable to the computer this should cause your iPhone or iPad to turn on. Keep holding the Home button until you see the iTunes and USB cable images on your iPad screen, then release the button.(iPad recovery mode)
5. In iTunes (launch the application if it isn't running on your Computer), you should see a message saying an iPad has been found in recovery mode.
6. Click OK and then click on Restore to bring your iPad to Factory settings

Hey agnesfromcopenhagen k,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Mail on your iPad. The following resource provides some troubleshooting steps. What kind of account are you using? Some internet providers require that you be connected to your home Wi-Fi (or for work accounts, inside your corporate Wi-Fi/firewall). Also, some email accounts require two-step authentication.
