Strange Battery problem, keeps switching between 99%/100%

My battery keeps flashing between being at 99% and 100%. The Amber/green light on the power adaptor also keeps flashing green and amber.
What could be causing this. I have all the latests updates as far as i can tell. Anyone have any ideas?
I also did just get my MacBook back from apple. The hard drive died and they replaced that.

hello cameronjmulder,
I had that problem with my macbook previously too. I searched through the forums and i found that the people who had that problem were able to get it replaced (the battery) with apple. I got my battery replaced (with a new one i believe) and it no longer does it. I don't know if there is a fix apart from simply replacing the battery
You should either call applecare or head over to an apple store. Though depending on their supplies, you may have to leave your macbook there for a while. perhaps you can call ahead and ask.

My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker

My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker so I can listen to my music and games. Is it hardware or software problem?

I was told by a friend that sometimes when you use a 3rd party charger that the connectors are not the same size and so it can affect the sensors in the phone and make it seem like it is in a docking station and so changes the output for dock speakers. With that said, I didn't take my pohone in to be serviced at the appple store because it was a 3GS and over 2 years old and so not covered by any service plan. Since then my phone is back to normal and I can use my headphones and listen with the speakers on the phone. I stoped using the suspected cheap 3rd party charger and maybe that's what did it, but not sure if it was or wasn't the cause of my problem. I'm glad that my phone is better I was kinda holding out for the Iphone 5 when i comes out later and hope my phone lasted until then.

My Mas Air keeps switching between applications

Anyone has this problem? Since i upgraded to Maverick, my system keeps switching between apps without any interventions, i dont even touch the laptop and it does.
Steve

I will try this cause yes I am using Google Drive. Another thing I noticed doing more test is that in fact the switch of apps that is occuring is all link to the FINDER. this is the application that goes in the back and comes back in the front of other apps all the time. I moved it to my monitor and the switch occurs there, if I close or minimize it, all is good.

I am having trouble charging an IPad it keeps switching between two icons help!!

Hi I have been trying to charge an IPad (not a mini) that has gone flat. However whenever I plug it in to charge it keeps flashing between the red battery screen, the one that says the IPad is dead but charging, and the start up screen with the apple icon. I have tried several different charger cables, power sources such as the computer and I switched the boxes the cables plug into however this had no effect. If anyone knows how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Did you ever resolve the iCloud problem.I am in the same position and its driving me mad!!! If you have a link to an solution I would appreciate it.

ADSL keeps switching between 'fast' and 'interleav...

Hello
I wonder if you could tell me if there is some reason why my line profile / ADSL latency keeps being switched between 'fast' and 'interleaved'. Everytime it is switched from interleaved to 'fast' I lose download speed. It has just changed again today and as a result my download speed has (according to my BT Home Hub Manager) dropped from 6.3MB (yesterday) to 3.2MB (now). Is it possible to have the line profile left as 'interleaved' so that I can enjoy the extra download speed ?
Thanks for your help.

MDIChildren flickering problem while switching between child form with dockstyle.fill and borderstyle.none

I have an mdi applicaton in Visual studio 2010 (.Net framework 4.0). I'm having a flickering problem when user switch between an MDI Child form. I'm declaring the child form then setting the borderstyle.none at design time and dock property to fill
through programming and make them a MDIChildren before I show them so that it takes up the entire space of the MDI Parent window without being maximized (client request).
i don't want to display control box(minimize, maximize,close) of child form in mdi parent form. (client request)
The problem is that when the child form is being displayed it is briefly shown in it's default size with icon and control box before being resized to fill the available area on the MDI Parent form. When a Child Form loads, you can see it in it's original
size (the size from Design-time) then all this flickering while maximizing .
In other words, child form show up in the client area of the MDIForm, not maximized, with a caption, very shortly, before they are finally filling the client area. there is a short flicker when a new form is created and displayed. This process is most noticeable
with a not-so-powerful PC or there are lots of control inside child form.
below is my code to show child form
MyChild1 c1 = new MyChild1();
c1.MdiParent = MdiMainParent;
c1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
c1.Show();
how can i solved the problem of flickering issue?
I tried many options which i have described below
1.double buffering.
2.set style property to child form
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, true);
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true);
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, true);
3. override below method in each child form
protected override CreateParams CreateParams
get
CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
cp.ExStyle |= 0x02000000;
return cp;
4. override below method in each child form
const int WM_NCPAINT = 0x85;
const int WM_SIZE = 0x05;
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
if (m.Msg == WM_NCPAINT)
if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Maximized)
return;
if (m.Msg == WM_SIZE)
if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Maximized)
return;
base.WndProc(ref m);
but I didn't see any effects. please someone help me to resolve flickering issue. thanks in advance.

Hi hardikvaishnav,
This is a known issue which has been reported to Microsoft Connect. Unfortunately, this issue will not fix due to stability issues around MDI. For more details, see
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/97787/border-of-mdi-child-form-flashes-up-despite-formborderstyle-none.
You might use a user control or panel instead.

Strange battery problem..

I noticed that when i charge my phone overnight and take it off the charger the battery drops from 100 to 99 in less than a minute. This is my second iPhone 4, First one had the home button wiggles and that one never had this battery problem.
Now what i do is after the battery drops to 99 right away i do a hard reset and that seems to fix it, but my question is whats causing it? and is it software or a hardware glitch? and does anyone else have this problem? to be honest i don't want to have to exchange this again its getting annoying at this point everything else is fine and don't feel like going thro the risk of having another problem with a different phone. Thanks all

I try charging my ipod for 4 hours as usual. Then when its done i take it off the as and I turn it on and listen to a few songs for about 6 mins then the screen pops out a short message that says no power please connect to power, but the ipod mini already has full power, then it shuts off in about 20 seconds. I then press a button and it comes up a Apple sign it it shows it has 85% less power then couple mins later the battery indicator goes back to full power but it does the same thing over and over again. Then i try charging it again it does the same thing again. Whats the problem?

MBP keeps switching between charged and charging

After updating to 10.5.6 my MBP has started switching between charged and charging once the charge reaches about 96%. I've tried resetting the SMC but hasn't helped. I'm trying to calibrate the battery now but it is a very slow process since charging the last 4% seems to take forever.
Is anyone else experiencing anything like this?

Does trickle charging really switch between charged and charging at one second intervals?
The 10.5.6 changes to the battery menu must have been more than removing from menu options then because I had to turn off the text the continuous switching between charged and charging became too visually distracting.

Display keeps switching between primary and clone.. I think.

My laptop, Pavilion DM3, keeps switching displays by the screen blacking out yet the computer still running. If a video is playing for example I can still hear the audio but the screen goes black. Some little musical tone plays when it switches and sometimes I get a little notification box that pops up saying the optimal resolution for clone display is... or it will say the optimal resolution for the primary is...
It's incredibly frustrating. Sometimes it only happens once every few minutes and sometimes it happens once every few seconds. I usually press ctrl+alt+f3 which works but it's annoying to have to keep doing it. I took it to Best Buy and they reinstalled the drivers and said that should work and if it doesnt then the next step is to ship it off to HP and that could take weeks. The problem is I'm currently in grad school and this is my only computer. I can't go weeks without my laptop even if it means having my screen black out every few seconds. Hopefully it really is just a setting or something or a software thing that I can fix myself with the help of you fine people.
My laptop is an HP Pavilion dm3 with Windows 7 64bit. Intel Pentium processer U5400. Optimal resoolution is 1366x768. Graphics is Intel HD Graphics(integrated I believe?) 4 GB memory, 500GB hard drive. I've had the laptop may six weeks and it's been having the issues for about two weeks.

Hi juniorkk,

Strange classpath problem sharing jars betweens webapps

I'm using tomcat 4.1.31 and I have 2 web applications using struts.
The first thing I see is strange is that if I put struts.jar in the tomcat/shared/lib directory when I load the application it sais it cannot instantiate the objects that inherit from the struts' classes. So I put struts.jar inside each application /WEB-INF/lib direcotry and it works.
The same happens with one jar i want to share between applications. Since it depends on struts.jar I cannot put it in the shared/lib dir. I have to put it in every application's lib. But I get class cast exceptions when I go to one app after I've been browsing the other since the shared classes were loaded with different classloaders and they are not the same class as expected.
Is this related to the webapps not being deployed as war files but copied uncompressed to the tomcat/webapps dir.?
If I load all the classes in the tomcat classpath everyhing works perfectly.

I suspect some other problem.
NT allows variable values up to 1200 characters. There are no size limits on the env space (of course excluding actual memory.)
And what you printed included 'windows' which was not in your string to start with.
How are you adding to the var?
And how are you printing it out?

Strange Battery problem while abroad

Hello All
I have a user who has an iphone (were in the UK) and he went on business to the UAE for a week. He was not allowed to take his phone with him to work as it was on an industrial site so he left it in his hotel room. He had a connection to the local carrier but did not use the phone as he was at work all day (approx 8 hours). The phone was fully charged when he left on a morning and empty when he returned to the hotel.
He did not have roaming turned on and had closed any apps in the multitasking bar. When he returned to the UK his battery life returned to normal and he has no issues.

I have the exact same problem.
It started with the occasional shut down when on battery power, now the machine will not run at all on the battery. When starting up on battery alone, the apple start-up tune starts, but is interrupted halfway.. The machine does not start up from battery power and will only run on AC.
In the Power section of About This Mac the Battery Information states:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 4013
remaining Capacity (mAh): 4013
Amperage: (mA): 0
Voltage: (mV): 12528
Cycle Count: 49
The battery is fully charged and seems to charge after I had the battery out for a while. The system does recognise the battery.
I did the PMU reset, did the hardware test (everything OK), even did a fresh install of Mac OS X 10.4.6 with all software updates, installed the battery update and the battery is not the type from the exchange program.
I only bought the machine December 31, 2005 (PowerBook G4 5,8)...
Any clues?
Thanks!
PowerBook G4 5,8 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Battery problem adn difference between countries

My Macbook Pro has had the same symptoms since October/november 2008. In December, I called Apple here in Sweden and they refused to change the battery.The Machine was purchased including Apple Care in March 2007. I just need to know if I am eligible to have the battery replaced. I can not figure out from the discussions if there is a clear policy line from apple on this issue.

There are two official Battery Replacement Programs; one is based on the date the MacBook Pro was purchased and some "criteria", the other on serial number alone. I'd guess yours would come under the first of these:
"MacBook Pro computers and extra batteries that were purchased between February 2006 and April 2007"
Details here: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/
The second/serial number details are here:

Lion keeps switching between multitasking apps automatically

Sometimes, I'm browsing the web, and Lion will slide back to my desktop, with the menu bar at the top of the screen (the white one) still showing Opera as the active application. Then, after a few seconds, it'll switch back. Then back again. It happens during casual browsing, when I'm filling out an HTML form (like this one), and in applications besides Opera, like iTunes, Mail and Final Cut.
I've tried killall Dock and restarting the Finder through the force quit menu, to no avail. What's left?

Ok, maybe it's not called expose anymore. But "Show Desktop" is alive and well in Lion.
Just to humor me, what gesture shows up in System Preferences (trackpad, mouse, whatever) for "Show Desktop"? Try "Show Desktop" and see if that isn't the phenomenon you are experiencing.
Also: Do you have multiple desktops enabled? Is the desktop which is being revealed a different desktop? Or the same one?
