Second battery with same problem

I have had a new battery replaced by Apple for wearing down prematurely. I had 50 cycles and was getting 70%health. I have had this new battery for approx. 2 months and have noticed that after 20 cycles the health is declining. I am currently at 89% with only 20 cycles. I have calibrated the battery last night, reset the pram, and smc with no avail. Here are my power specs. Please suggest anything that will help. Is there something wrong with my charger ( I don't get alternating lights or anything like that)
I do have applecare for 3 years.

I have a September 2007 battery with 43 cycles on it, and it has consistently been at 100% health the entire time I've had it. I don't think fluctuating health would be considered normal. I would report this to Apple and maybe get a case number. Then keep a log of what it is doing and keep track of any SMC resets and calibrations.
It's hard to know if this is a battery problem or something else. My niece has just had to replace her battery for the 4th time, and feels there is something wrong with her original MBP that is causing premature battery failure.
Does your charger seem to work properly? Steady amber light when charging, fully charging the battery, steady green light when not charging? It sounds like you have a fluctuating battery health problem rather than a charging problem. If it's not just another bad battery, there could be some problem with the MBP itself which is causing the battery to fail prematurely.
However, with Applecare, it will be covered, whatever it is. A 2 month old battery should be working perfectly after just 20 cycles.
Good luck!

No sound while watching you tube videos on my ipad. This is my second replacement ipad with same problem.

no sound while watching you tube videos on my ipad. This is my second replacement ipad with same problem. No sounds coming out from the speakers, even after reset everything. Mute button is assigned for mute function instead of screen rotation lock.

Hi herbie13!
It sounds like you will still want to link your iPad and computer, but you want to prevent the iPad from syncing information from your computer to your iPad. I have an article here for you that can help tell you how to set this up:
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
You will want to follow the steps here to set up the iPad for syncing, but when it comes time to sync, you'll just want to make sure that the boxes for syncing the multitude of items that you can sync remain unchecked so that none of that information gets synced into the iPad.
Another note: your second Apple ID will not be able to access the apps, music, movies, tv shows, etc., that you have purchased under your primary Apple ID. Even though it seems that the secondary Apple ID still has access to those items, that is just because you are viewing your second Apple ID through the iTunes Store section on your computer and you have those items saved locally on your computer. You will need to repurchase and download all of the content that you wish to use again on your second Apple ID, if that is what you wish to solely use on this iPad.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Any others with same problem?

This states that you need to do an smc reset for full powernap functionality. It could be effecting it if it was an older macbook air that you updated to mountain lion?

T61p back from depot after 1 month with same problems, phone support no help

I ordered this on Feb 8. My CC was billed March 5th which is around when I physically got it. I basically troubleshooted it until the end of the month before calling to get it sent for repairs. Got the box for the depot on April 3 and sent it the same day. Got the laptop back just on Monday May 12. Now it still doesn't work, and I'm wondering what the heck to do.
Problems with the T61p:
1. Cardbus non functional; The pci/cardbus bridge is detected fine and drivers not a problem. The system doesn't detect any card inserted in the T61p. I have a $100 firewire 800 card I've used without problems in many laptops (I can test in one right now), but this T61p doesn't see it at all. This is not a driver issue for any particular card, but the fact that windows doesn't detect any new hardware when a card is inserted.
Sent to the depot at the beginning of April and I got it back this Monday. They replaced the mainboard and pcmcia slot (as it says on the slip included). Still having the exact same problem.
2. Completely unstable with a 1394b expresscard; Since I cannot get the cardbus slot to work, my only option is an expresscard. I am using a studio quality sound interface, Fireface 800 from RME. This is a great piece of hardware that works flawlessly on my 5 year old AMD box. However, on the T61p if I playback audio through it, connected via a SIIG firewire 800 expresscard (high quality, and one of the _only_ 1394b expresscards out there) the system completely locks up in a matter of minutes.
The main reason for this laptop purchase was for music production with the RME Fireface. It is 100% the T61p causing the problem, not power management issues, driver issues, the SIIG card, or physical connections, etc. You can see my thread at RME from March when I was trying to figure this out:
http://rme-audio.de/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=11332
I haven't had a full month of use of this thing. I would very much just like a return at this point. I don't want to wait another month for a depot repair, seeing as the last one didn't resolve anything. If I could get a fully working model of this T61p that would be great, but I see this 14.1" SXGA+ isn't even offered anymore.
Talking to support is horrible. Last I talked to someone who was technically clueless, saying he would do research and call me back. I call back the next day and there isn't even a record of me talking to anyone...
Anyone have any advice? I'm coming to the forums because I'm just stuck here with a laptop I can't use, and don't know what to do with...
EDIT/update:
I managed to get this number finally (1-866-968-4465) and talked to someone who seemed to actually care. So I've gotten somewhere, I guess the forum post doesn't help much. I'll update the result anyway...

Mine is the siig NN-EC2812-S1 2-port FireWire 800 ExpressCard/54 and the carbus card is a StarTech.com CB1394B3
Where do you read about chipset compatability probs with siig cards? What would be a better card?
Edit:
I could get one of these within a day or so:
belkin F5U514 $98 CAN
startech EC1394B2 $119 CAN
sonnet FW800-E34 $98 CAN
Know which would be better to try?

Someone else with same problems?

I have a kt4-ultra and i wato to know if someone else have or had my problem...i have i xp 2100+ and i am not able to run it at fsb 133 mhz i must set it to 125 mhz...
I haven't found solution at this problem....(temperature ok...400 w ali ok...ram ok...sk video ok...everything ok)
am i the only one with this problem??
Let me know please

G7LNO,
54C seems a little on the high side to me. It's within AMD specs, but I do not like the word, "Thermal Death".
Below is an example of my system, and the temps that apply to it. My system is not overclocked.
I have a 2400+, KT3 Ultra2-R motherboard, and just recently replaced the Dynatron cooler to a Thermalright SLK-800 with a Vantec Tornado turned down to 4000 RPM. While surfing the web with Norton running, MS messenger, Outlook Express, and four IE windows open, my CPU temps at a room temperature of 78F are: CPU-37 C, System 32 C. Cranking up the voltage to the Tornado and the CPU temp drops to 35C. System temp stays the same at 32 C.
When I use Sisoftware Sandra utilizing the CPU arithmetic and multmedia burn-in for one hour which places 100% load on the CPU, my CPU temp never goes over 39C and system temp rises to 34C; Vantec Tornado is set on high during full load tests.
The Vantec Tornado may be a bit of overkill at full voltage, but at 4000 RPM it is very tolerable. I truly believe the SLK-800 is very capable of excellent cooling with lower and quieter CFM fans. Big D1

Replacement Ipod Dead With Same Problems, what am i doing wrong?

I bought a Classic, it started to not play some of my songs, then it crashed, then i couldnt revive it or put anything on it, so i sent it back and received a new one promptly. Guess what, same problems, stopped playing some songs about a week ago, HDD makes strange sounds as if trying and failing to locate tracks, then i did a restore after i reworked my itunes library and now the pc is starting to not recognize it and cant add songs and restoring is a pointless option, ipod is full of songs up to the letter G after a failed library sync. PlEASE help me remedy so that i dont have to replace my replacement with another ipod that needs to be replaced

Ok here's what I did: While the modem was still connected to my PC, my router was plugged in and just had power so I did the hard reset like you said. Then I plugged the modem into the router, reset my modem and plugged the ethernet cable back into my tower and Now it works. The only problem is that I have is that when i get to http://198.162.1.1/ and leave username blank and password admin, I keep getting 401 Unauthorized. I would really like to be on a secured network but I never could because the easylink advisor wouldn't work right and I couldn't get the laptop to get connected. Thank you for your help.

My 5s can not open the screen and use it while charging. Anyone with same problem?

My 5s cannot open screen and use it when charger is connected. Anyone knows why?

Do you use the original charger?
My friend had the same problem with fake chinese charger.
He changed a charger and everything is fine now.
Maybe your charger just broken and needed to replace.

2 phones with same problem - Cannot email photo from photo app...

Hi. I am going crazy here. Got my first gen iphone and new 3G ipone - all running latest 2.0 firmware (the later 547 version)...
Both phones have different gmail accounts setup on them and work fine when in the mail app for both sending and receiving (both phones).
Here is the problem.. If I go into the photos app and try to email a picture (on both phones this exact same thing happens), it takes ages with the spinnning logo along the top line near the carrier info.
Eventually it comes up with the message "Photo Delivery Failed - A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed."
I have tried deleting the accounts and reinstalling them - resetting network settings etc. all the same..
Why is this happening and on both phones with differnt gmail accounts..
Is this a known bug in the v2.0 software?
I am not using mobile.me by the way...
I am stumped - anyone?

Hey, just saw your email after fighting the "Message could not be sent" alert which happened every time I tried to send a photo from my iPhone... I tried my gmail, MobileMe and a personal account, no luck, and the "hard restart" that other posts talked about (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8019073&#8019073) did not help me either.
Then I realized that the problem was only on my WiFi network (just like you said!); flipped it over to 3G, and the Photo was emailed with no problems.
This must be some sort of bug in the operating system... grr! But I'm glad you posted your findings, it saved me!

Just picked up 2 L550 with same problem.

during the initial setup, once it goes to the Toshiba setup screen in Windows, it reboots and restarts the same part of the setup again.
It does this on both machines, Win7, 32 or 64, french or english.
I tried the "Hold 0 then power to reinitialize" setup, same result once it boots to windows and starts the toshiba setup program.
Only way to stop this was to ctrl-alt-del the process but i'm missing all the pre-installed softwares and I have no sound.
Help? Before I bring those back to Futureshop later this week.
Thanks.

Sent a brand new U500-ST6322 to Depot but returned with same problem + hard disk re-imaging

I bought this Satellite about 4 months ago and noticed the fan was very noisy (posted a msg on this forum about it). I called Toshiba Technical Support who said this computer had been having fan issues so they asked me to send it to the Depot, which I did. The depot worked on it and returned it with the following note:
"Replaced fan.Hard drive failed test with multiple bad sectors. Replaced defective hard drive. Re-imaged with default software. Set DMI/Updated Bios/Set BOOT defaults. Blew out heatsink/fan and unit. Unit was tested and passed all tests".
So obviously the guys worked on it, only the noise is still the same. The computer basically makes one think there is a vacuum cleaner working not too far in the background. So I am not really sure if Toshiba and I thought there was the same thing wrong with the fan. And I'm not sure what to do next. The fan noise is really distracting and you'd think a brand new machine would be a little quieter. My 6-yr old Dell is quieter.
About the HD re-imaging... I had backed-up my stuff before I sent it to the Depot, so that turned out to have been useful. When they say they re-imaged the HD, does it mean they re-formatted it in some way but kept the same unit? Would there be a way for me to get the stuff from my "old" HD back? There're no important documents, but just thinking about all the programs I need to install again makes me wonder if I could somehow recover the old hard drive. Also, I see a lot of posts with people having sent their computers in and having had the same thing done. Is it normal for a relatively new computer to have issues with the HD? By the way, when I worked with the computer I had no HD issues, at least nothing I could tell.
Thanks for any advice!

from what you put that they did to your machine they replaced the hdd and used the recovery media to reimage the drive back to factory. hdd and other hardware failures either happen very early or very late in their lives. so it is not uncommon to have a hdd that fails right out of the gate but it is much more common for them to fail later. as for getting your old hdd back i wouldnt count on it. it has probably already been sent away to be recycled.
you may not have had any problems at all with the hdd but from what you wrote that toshiba said it had multiple bad sectors. if these bad sectors are too big they will just replace it since those parts of the disc cant be used.

Second sim with same number

I use my phone a lot for work, and want to leave it permanently in the van, can I have a second sim on the same number ?

Orange used to offer exactly this with their "Single Number" facility, but it was never opened up to EE users, and finally closed down at the back end of last year. For what it's worth, the only other network to have ever offered similar was Vodafone with "multi-SIM" but that never let you use data from the second SIM and closed many years ago. As others have suggested, a GSM-divert is now the closest you'll get. You could also use EE "pocket landline" with the "one to many" option if you want multiple phones to ring with incoming calls at the same time.

Upgraded to Lion and no longer able to burn music cds in itunes... anyone else with same problem?

does anyone have similar problems, or a solution for this situation?
thanks in advance

I bought a three-year-old MacBook from a co-worker, no longer under warranty, that was recently upgraded to Lion. I can't see CDs or DVDs, blank or with media on them. I see other people having similar problems, but no solutions yet from Apple. I know, I should have checked this before I bought the machine, but now it's my problem. Do I need to back out of Lion or does someone know if there is a solution on the horizon?

Multiple replacements with same problem

I cannot count how many replacement Motorola android RAZR HD I have had but its getting ridiculous. Must have been at least 4 in the last couple weeks. My wife has had her iPhone since we started our contract but I must be at 10+ droids by now. They all have their own issues but mostly all fail to charge properly. Thought I may be at fault so for this last one I went and bought brand new chargers at Verizon store. But nope, I have been using this phone 28 hours and I cannot get it to charge. Just over one day! If I am told that the fix for this is another droid, well that may be the end of Verizon for me. I live in a remote area with satellite internet and so for me to send my info to the cloud and pull it to new device costs me a lot each time. Don't even get me started w Verizon cloud issues. When I first asked how to transfer ally info to new phone I was told via Verizon cloud. I got none of my photos. They are in the cloud and I have to one by one download them. I didn't have to do that for my contacts but I do for photos, well that's not transferring ALL my stuff as I asked now is it. Anyways back to this garbage droid they keep sending me. Anyone w any ideas? cause if I can only swap for another garbage droid that will only cost me $ to put only my contacts on and then give same issue Tomorrow I would rather cancel our two phones and go w a company that understands I can only follow their rules for so long before I need someone to make a real world decision and get me a phone that I will not want to throw multiple times every day.

Hi Jasoninadks,
Oh no! 4 replacement devices in weeks is too many! Let's locate your missing charge. Are you purchasing chargers made by the manufacturer for this phone? Has there been any liquid or physical damage to this device? Where you able to get the pictures downloaded from the cloud http://vz.to/1pHC1Q6? Are you eligible for new equipment? Dial #UPG from your cellphone.
Thanks,

On my second 160/Classic - same problems

Same issue on both iPods. Initial set-up and sync goes fine. Loaded 14,400 songs, One TV show and about 70 photos. From that point on it just ejects itself whenever I try anything - a sync, update to 1.02, etc. And iTunes freezes.
Took the first one back to the Apple Store. It was even worse on their Mac. Just kept ejecting and showing only the Apple on its screen. So they exchanged it for a new one saying that a new shipment had just arrived and that they were sure that the new iPod would work. Oops.
So tomorrow I'll need to go back to the Apple Store and return it. Too bad, my 60g iPod video is just about full.

Well let me tell you all,I have gone through 3 ipod classics 80gb since Sept 11 each one is full of faults. have had 3 ipods before this no probs (What is going on)
The last one i got was a week 39 if you go by the 4th and 5th digit of serial number still not working same faults plus some more.
Apple still not willing to recognised that there is serious issues with the classic.
Falts: Photos Not showing on centre button click.
No art work on main menu for podcast
No art work on main menu for Now Playing
Coverflow like a snail and loosing artwork
Syc Took 15 mins at last syc
After syc getting error 1418 then disc corrupt
Whole ipod system just so slow
Ipod freezes while in coverflow
Sommetimes it wont turn on.
Have just got off phone with apple they dont know when 1.0.3 udate is due so i just got refund, I would have paid the old price gladly be-it 100 more for a ipod that works.(COME ON APPLE GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER)YOU ARE LOOSING YOUR LOYLE CUSTOMERS...................

I,m back with same problem with a new twist

I contacted this forum about a month ago and didn,t get any useful advice and so my boot camp installation problem https://discussions.apple.com/message/19306599?ac_cid=op123456#19306599 is still unresolved. I have a new problem now ....I CANNOT GET PAST FILE REC LOCK ITEM WHEN BOOTING UP. I,ve tried a pram reset, safe boot. Booting from original osx snow leopard whilst holding 'c' button. I,ve given up hope of recovering my existing info and would be HAPPY if some wiseman out there could tell me how to do an erase reinstall. I have an IMAC mid 2011 2.7 ghz which I got end of dec 2011. I started on s leopard then lion and then mountain lion. I have file encryption set up with a file rec key I wrote down but it neither accepts it or declines....it just stays on the lock icon with grey background. P.S. If I boot up as normal I get to my login screen as normal. My usual username and password is accepted but it go,s to a grey screen from there and gets stuck and there are no error messages or sounds and nothing for me to click. The power button only works if I press and hold it. Just before this happened I verified and repaired disk permissions and spotlight was re-indexing for ages before it tanked mid process. IS THERE A ANOTHER FILE REC KEY I COULD GET VIA EMAIL RATHER THAN PHONE THE £35 SUPPORT PHONE NUMBER?
Thankyou, peeps.

I installed iOS 6 on my iPad 2 yesterday as well as the above stuff if that helps.
Ta.
