Slow performance when not plugged in with charger : please help
My recently purchased Macbook pro is and everything is as i excpected and works like a dream
That is until i disconnect the charger and suddenly everything gets incrediby clunky and slow?
i understand after some research that the performance will drop slightly when not connect to charger but it suddenly becomes unworkable and is incredably frustrating to the point where its almost useless.
I have hardly any programmes installed still have over 470Gb free on hard drive
i have run tests through the utility function with no faults reported but cant seem to solve the issue
Has anybody else experienced this? are there any quick fixes or will i have to make the journey to the apple store to get it looked at ??
thanks for reading i would really apreciate some help

Hello there, LaruaGalliers.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great troubleshooting steps for your issue:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Particularly:
Battery does not charge
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge:
If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Iphone 5 trouble with charging, please help?
Haven't had my iPhone for long (around November for my birthday) and for about the last couple of weeks recently I have had major trouble with the battery charge.
At first I thought it was the cables, so I got new one after new one and they'd work but then stop working. Until the last one I just purchased, it pretty much stopped charging the phone straight away. No lightening or sound response, no connection via computer etc. So, when my charge ran out I still had it plugged into my computer and now my phone only chargers when it's off when it's plugged into a USB port (bear in mind, it doesn't connect to iTunes-it says USB is unrecognized although it still chargers the phone when off). However, it charges fairly quickly when off but when in use the charge diminishes just as quick as it takes to charge. Not only that but now whenever I wish to turn my iPhone off, it turns itself back on.
I have recently sent off my phone to the Apple store to have it checked over and it came back to me saying they couldn't reproduce the symptons I had mentioned so there was me thinking everything was fine but nope, still faulty. So a bit disappointed with paying £7.00 for delivery to have nothing been done about it (not only that, but the phone as also out of charge when returned so it just seemed like my phone wasn't looked over one bit). Also a bit disappointed and annoyed at the fact I'm still paying for my monthly contract for the phone when I am unable to use it!!!
I haven't damaged the phone (it basically looks brand new) and haven't exposed it to any liquids. The USB port on my phone where I charge it seems clear too.
The annoyance of having to send it back to Apple costing me more money is offputting so does anyone have any other suggestions? I'm going to my local 3 store to see if they can help me out but I'm just a bit fed up now. Can see this is a popular problem amongst other iPhone users too.
Many thanks!
(Oh and need to add I HAVE updated everything on my phone, restored everything, restarted etc.)Yeah I went to the 3 store and they said that it costs if they find it's a software issue (which I believe isn't fair). However, after sending mine off and having it back exactly the same I headed off to the 3 store and asked to see what they could do for me. Of course, they can't touch Apple phones so they kindly phoned Apple again for me to only say that Apple have NO record of me even sending my phone off even though I have written and e-mail proof. They then said that they replaced my phone in which they didn't. So I spoke to the senior supervisor who said for me to send it off again (yawn) but to be replaced and if it doesn't then I have to e-mail her directly. It's such an annoying issue because I'm still paying for my phone when I can't even use it.
My advice is, definitely go to the store. Even-though they can't actually replace it there and then or send it off themselves to be repaired but they (should) phone up Apple and help you further. Apple shouldn't be asking you for such an upfront cost without even looking at your phone as it could be another issue.
That's me up to date. Sending it off tomorrow, hopefully receive a replaced working phone now. -

VeronikaHi Veronika,
The <jsp:usebean> is used for only javabeans not EJB (Enterprise javabean). You said that you have deployed SpellCheck.jar to the JRun server. So that must be an EJB. Where are you accessing this EJB from in your JSP? ARe you doing it inside the projsp.SpellCheck javabean? If yes, can you post some code from the javabean.
Cheers

Slow Performance when using USB HD with Time Capsule
I have a 500 GB Time Capsule that I primarily use for network storage for 4 computers (3 Windows and a MacBook Pro). There is about 250 GB of data on the TC. After doing my research, I hooked up a 2 TB WD My Book to the TC USB port (after first reformatting the My Book using Mac OS Extended (Journaled). TC recognized the NAS HD just fine, but when I tried moving files from the TC to the My Book, it took FOREVER. 66 hrs to copy all 250 GB; 46 hours to move 60GB). I tried connecting the My Book directly to my MB Pro via USB and files moved quickly (15 minutes for 10GB). With the My Book connected to the MB Pro, I can access TC over Wifi and copy files directly onto the My Book in little time (again about 15 min for 10 GB). Any idea why the USB transfer rate between TC and the NAS is so slow? I have the most current TC firmware.

That thread is 5 years old
???? It's from three days ago. The electronic book it references was updated last year.
Plus that was talking about a 2002 Airport Extreme base station, whereas I have a 2009 Time Capsule.
As I mentioned above, the source I quoted is from last year. The thread I cited mentions nothing about
a particular year of base station. Where do you see that stuff?
As for my wifi connection, it seems very fast in all respects. As I mentioned, when I connect the external HD to my MacBook Pro and transfer files over my wifi from the Time Capsule, it boogies along. At any rate, I am not sure why the wifi would have an affect on the transfer rate of 2 disks connected by a USB cable.
My point was that, if that data has to travel over your Wi-Fi connection, the quality of that connection could affect the transfer speed you see. To investigate that possibility, I'd connect your Mac to the AirPort base station via Ethernet, turn your Mac's AirPort circuitry off, and repeat your tests that way. -

One day the phone just got stuck on ios6 screen then once unlocked it said plug into iTunes. Once I did the phone will not allow me to complete a restore. At the last stages the phone will cut off. I have asked a friend to have a look and he thinks it is stuck in recovery mode loop? I don't know what else to do. The phone is not under warranty and I bought it second hand before Christmas. Please give me any help or advice.
Sounds like a hardware failure. Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store. There is no magic that can fix a hardware failure.

Macbook Battery Not Holding A Full Charge Please Help!!!
I Have a Macbook that is just over a year old and I have noticed a considerable decrease in battery performance over the past few months. I leave it plugged in but I do use it without the plug at least a few times a month lke the Apple site recommends. Now, when I charge my battery fully the computer says it is 100% charged yet it only has 68% capacity/status. (It says this on the coconut battery widget I have) I only have 32 load cycles on the battery so it is obvious that I'm not a havey battery user. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem I see no reason why my capacity should be 68% after only 32 loadcycles and one year especially since apple claims it should hold 80% after 300 loadcycles.
Thank YouWhen was the last time you calibrated your battery? I do mine every other month. Have you done the battery update?
You might try to reset the SMC. -
Hello, I am a relatively new Macbook Pro user. Only previous experience with a Mac before this was many years ago in Iraq. I have a relatively cheap USB optical mouse, that I am trying to hook up so I can use Lumosity.com easier. It is not an Apple brand - it is literally the sort of thing that comes with a cheap set of things in a 3rd-world store. I attempted plugging in a Magic Mouse from Apple earlier, and no, it did not work either. Simply put, I have two mouse devices that do not want to work in an environment that has no wi-fi (which I presume is why the Magic Mouse won't work, seeing as all it is supposed to require is to be turned on), and cannot seem to find success with this other cheap(er) optical mouse that has to be physically plugged into the laptop. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Quick list of things I've already tried:
1. Taking the Magic Mouse to an area that has wi-fi (failed).
2. Plugging the optical mouse into different USB ports on the laptop (failed)
3. Yelling at both devices for failing me (no result = failed ironically).
4. Turning the Magic Mouse on and off (failed).
List of things that I have not done incorrectly:
1. Not tried a different device.
2. Putting the device(s) on any glass surface.
Any further assistance would be most greatly appreciated.OK... the corded mouse is an unknown, since you're saying it's a very cheap device. At this point, if I understand you, you're not sure if that mouse even works. Let's go back to the Apple mouse. They don't need wireless to work, they run on Bluetooth, which is part of your computer. You need to go through "pairing" to bond that mouse to your computer.

My 4s keeps telling me to upgrade to 10.6.3 or higher but ive downloaded 10.7 numerous times but still it wont connect to itunes!? ***
If you're using Windows try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall the latest version of iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

thank you very much
DavidSo when you connect the adapter to the macbook the LED light on the adapter doesn't come up as amber or green? I would take the computer and the adapter to an apple store (or authorized apple service provider) to have the computer tested on a known good adapter. That will let you know if you need to replace the adapter or have the computer sent in for repair. If you are within the one year warranty or extended 3 year applecare plan either of these should be covered. (barring any accidental damage to the adapter or computer)

My Apple iPad 3 is less than 6 months old - purchased in March of 2012. I believe it already needs a new battery. It will not hold a charge for very long andvs very slow in starting up a carge when I plug it in. Please advise - it is very annoying.
Take it to Apple Store. You are covered under your 1 year warranty.

I just got a new ipod 5 and when I plugged in the charging cord that came with it, it says it is not supported, and may not charge. It worked the first few times, but now it won't charge at all.
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- 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. The cable as well as the iPod, is covered by the warranty.

When my phone is not plugged into the charger or computer, it will not turn on at all; even though it is not dead. When it's plugged into the computer, it will go to a white screen with a grey apple icon and then it will turn off again and repeat. IOS7 and iPhone 5.

Try this step and if you cannot get your device into recovery mode there is a chance you have a hardware failure and you need to call apple to see what service options you have. -
My i phone3GS will no longer charge - when i plug in the charger the phone says "charging is not supprted with this accessory"
do you have any other chargers? is it the charger that came with the phone? is it giving the same issue when plugged into the computer and into the wall? do you have an apple store near you to try the chargers there? can you buy a new charger at target or something? have you rebooted the phone?
