Symptoms of a bad battery in macbook 2010
I have a Macbook circa 2010. It will boot up but then the hard drive begins to whir and if I try to open any app or file, the pizza wheel just spins endlessly. Could this be a symptom of an old/bad battery or is it something else?
Ohhh I got your problem! This is totally because of the corrupt files you have in the Time Machine Backups get restored everytime! So get rid of the backup first as we will need some extra space later! Here would be almost a full proof solution for you!
I guess you should try this!
You should manually backup all your important data to your hard drive! I know it sometimes proves to be hectic, but it will help you eliminate the unwanted data you have!
You can export your iTunes library by using export option and copying the iTunes library.itl alongside the exported data. Check this link, as it is more informative : http://gizmodo.com/5825217/how-to-keep-your-itunes-library-when-it-wont-fit-on-y our-hard-drive
After manually backing up all the stuff, this time you try to zero out the hard drive by selecting the security option as zero out, dont select the other options because it is time consuming and there's no actual need of it! It will take atmost 50 min more, but worth the attempt because it helps in writing zeros over all the sectors!
And yes, after installing all your apps, transferring all your data to the MacBook, then go for a full system Time Machine Backup, this backup would be fresh and would be beneficial for you as it wont be having the corrupt data that prevents your MacBook to perform well!
This methodology should solve your problem!
Good luck! Keep me posted!

I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board. How much will a new battery and motherboard cost and would it be worth it or should I just get a new computer. It was about 300 dollars to get it serviced last week. if it adds up to much past 600 dollars I will just get a new one. THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
P.S During classes today it began beeping in my bag. Like three kind of long steady beeps then a short pause, and when I opened it I couldn't see anything but it was on so I turned it off and back on.Depends on what options your Apple store offers - if they can do a depot repair (where they send it out), that's around $300 for all parts & labor.
If the store doesn't have that option, a logicboard is around $600, battery $80-$100, from what I've seen.
If they JUST replaced the logicboard, you absolutely should NOT have to pay for another replacement - the replacement is covered by a warranty. If they want you to pay for it, make sure you have a copy of the receipt for the work that was recently completed so you can show it to them. They have no reason to charge you for another logicboard.

Macbook Pro Bad battery better than none?
Hello!!
I know this might sound crazy but on yesterday my Macbook Pro (early 2008) battery expanded while connected to my mac. I didnt notice this until I powered it on and couldnt use my track pad. I thought maybe the mac had been stepped on or something. To make a long story short, I am a DJ and use my Macbook pro for that purpose. I have a gig coming real soon and I've read that the mac will only run at 1Ghz or so without the battery. I need my computer to run full speed as its needed for my DJ program. I cannot risk it lagging during a gig! I refuse to put the exploded battery in it and I'm sure Apple will do nothing about this outdated Mac. I ordered a non-working battery hoping to be able to use my Mac at full power until I can purchase a working battery. Will this work? I know your asking why order a bad battery? I couldnt order a working one and get it delivered by my gig date.
Thank you!BobRz wrote:
I'm not sure why no battery would slow things down, but I've never tried it. Again, why not just see what it does with no battery?
If the OSX senses that there is no battery present, it will throttle the CPU. This is to protect the Mac from those situations where electrical loads are such that the charger alone cannot handle them and the battery is used to supplement the charger.

Upgrade Ram, HD to SDD and New Battery for Macbook pro 2010 i7 15". (with price).
Hi, i want to upgrade my Ram, Hard Disk and Battery of Macbook pro 2010 Model with i7 processor and 15" display.
My current configuration:
Ram: 2GB + 2GB (original with mbp purchase)
Hard Disk: 500 GB (250 GB full)
Battery: Cycles - 669 and Health - 87 % (As show by istat)
New configuration I want:
Ram: 8 Gb best of all (what to do with the previous 2GB + 2GB Ram)
SSD:Minimum 128 Gb ( what to do with previous 500 GBI ignored the (with price) part. Sorry.
Crucial m4 512GB SSD - from Amazon - $389.99.
Crucial m4 256GB SSD - from Amazon - $203.84.
Crucial m4 128GB SSD - from Amazon - $112.87.

What to do with your old RAM? Just trash it or label it and put it in an anti-static bag and put it in your 'parts' drawer. Or trash it. Or give it away. It's not worth anything.
Good luck,

Does any one know if a bad battery can produce the sad iPod icon and the false-start whirr-click which is normally associated with a dead HDD when all of the recommended remedies have been exhausted?
I recently installed a new hard drive in a G4 ipod. It worked perfectly but after just a week during which it was not used, the iPod gave the same symptoms that I had associated with a dead HDD. I was able to use Disc Utility and iPod restore after leaving it plugged in for a day and then it updated in iTunes. When I disconnected it from the USB, it promptly failed again. Once more I managed to mount it in disc utility but it failed to format with an error message about a missing partition. It isn't recognised in ASP and just sits showing a static one-third charged battery icon.
Is it worth investing in a new battery. Any thoughts welcome, thanks
iMac 600 Mac OS X (10.3.9)Guess what? Having bought and installed a new battery, my G4 iPod has been resurrected. It seems that the sad iPod icon and the whirr-click can be caused by a faulty battery - even one that is not completely dead but presumably is not delivering the necessary power. Having replaced the HDD in my "dead" iPod and getting a working iPod for a short while I foolishly threw out the old HDD when perhaps there was nothing wrong with it, before my iPod died again. If you hear your iPod doing the whirr-click DO NOT assume your hard disk is broken, as I did. Even when connected through my firewire or usb ports the iPod would not respond in any way. As soon as I changed the battery I was able to restore it and update it as normal.
Another thought I had. Is it possible that simply disconnecting the battery in the iPod resets the firmware so resolving any errors due to corrupted data that isn't fixed by using the reset combination on the click wheel?
So MORAL of STORY: If you have a dead iPod (OUT OF WARRANTY) check the charging current and replace the battery ( a cheap option if you DIY ) before you replace the HDD.

Can a bad battery affect my MBP's performance, even when plugged in?
Well, as the title says... my battery status says "Service Battery", and although I know the instructions are simple ("dude, take your laptop's battery for servicing!"), a few months ago my financial situation changed, I'm trying to adjust the budget as much as I can for now, and I'm not sure I can afford to spend much money at the moment.
The thing is, my laptop's performance has been slowly getting worse all the time. at first, it was only with resource-intensive applications, but lately, even having more than 5 tabs open in Chrome gets the system all laggy. Now, as I've read on other threads talking about batteries being in bad shape, I would assume that, if the system can't draw much power, it can't work as hard, so a bad battery could be the culprit of such performance. However, if my laptop's plugged in, shouldn't it be drawing power straight from the outlet, hence being able to get all the juice it needs to feed both the 9400M & 9600M GT?

Hope someone can help... thank you so much in advance!Not necessarily, if the battery is trying gobble some power, as the bad batt is still in the charge/power circut. 446 cycles is quite a bit, and not a bad run, it also depends on how it has been used.
I would replace it ASAP as it is possible that it may create/cause more severe issues. A new battery is less $$ than more serious damage that could possibly result from leaving it in. -
PowerBook G4 12" Damaged by Bad Battery?
I have a PowerBook G4 12" 1.5GHz with a bad battery that is about to be replaced by the Extension Program. Can the bad battery have damaged the computer while it was in use in the computer? In early 2005, I purchased a brand-new PowerBook G4 15" 1.67Ghz which turned out to have a bad battery, but because at that time the battery problem was either not yet known or not yet acknowledged by Apple, the battery was not only used in the 15", but when it was sent back from Apple after the first of three service attempts, the bad battery was not replaced and was sent back to me and I, not having been informed there was a battery problem of any kind, continued to use the computer until its hard drive then its logic board failed. Eventually, I found out about the exchange program by accident (and was officially informed by Apple one year later, in June 2006; ironically, the 15" had been replaced with one of the first MacBook Pros in March 2006). I include this history because I have always wondered if the bad battery damaged the 15"'s logic board. Now this 12", which I just bought, whose bad battery has been installed for years is having major issues: the screen freezes within the first 2 minutes of booting from disk, hard drive or network boot image (it has never booted to the desktop since I've owned it); it heats up under the hard drive/near the video chip; when TDM is attempted, the screen stays black altogether and the 12" never appears on the host's desktop. It will boot into Open Firmware but not in single user mode. There is some kind of white sticky substance present in small amounts around the pins thar lock the battery into the well. For the record, the 12" is otherwise in seeingly flawless condition with no dents or other signs of being dropped and inside it is clear no one has disassembled it or even removed the topcase. When the battery is removed and the AC power connected it still won't boot. Sorry this is so long.
The actual runtime of a battery depends on several factors, including what you are doing with your PowerBook. Information on stretching out your battery's runtime is available in this article. For a daily planner, try using iCal in the /Applications/ folder, or dTasks if iCal won't do what you want.

hi

i charged my macbook fully last night and used it this morning...i checked my battery status and says 99%-2:55 remaining...then after 97%-4:11 remaining...
i also check preferences....
full charge capacity : 5489
remaining capacity : 5407
amperage : -1496
voltage : 12294
cycle count : 3
i hope someone can enlighten me...
thanks in advance...

macbookpro Mac OS X (10.4.9)your stats seem ok.. i've gotten it as high as 142 hours temporarily, when its discharging.. the battery time to die measurement is at best an estimate..
what were you running that you were drawing -1400 amps? thats a bit excessive...
i run a problem called IBatt2 it has a grading system which compares your battery to the median of the same type of system battery... it will also show you the essential data...
my battery with 45 cycles, gets a "C" grade on their system.

got a brand new macbook white 2011 model this is my second one now after 3 weeks as first had battery problem, im just worried this one is might be goin the same way. the battery has only had 2 charges since got it and it used to take arounf 5750mah fully charged now it only charges to 5655 (well thats what system profiler states) any help?

ok i know i have done a battery calibration (leave on for 2 hours after fully charged)
That isn't the full calibration process, so maybe you haven't properly done the calibration. And in my experience, the battery takes a few cycles after calibration before it fully settles down.
To be honest with you, I think you're worrying about nothing. The drop you've noticed is something and nothing - little more than a storm in a teacup. You've had one bad battery (which is extremely unusual) and this has got you worried that you've got a second bad battery (which would also be unusual).
Leave the battery alone for a few months and give it a chance to settle in.

what the largest size hard drive you can install in your MacBook 2010 and does it matter of its a Mac hard drive are not
You could theoretically upgrade to a 1TB HDD and brand really doesn't matter as long as it's a 2.5" SATA HDD. However I would probably shoot for a 500GB or 750GB. If you want some performance increase as well go for a 7200RPM drive, but just know that you will lose some of your battery life as well. If that's a trade-off you don't really care about then go for the 7200RPM drive.

Have you ever wonder the how to know if your MacBook is in a risk of a hazarous battery?
I have found a symptom of a dying battery.
1.- The Magsafe's LED is changing every second from orange (cahrging) to green (charged)
2.- The battery indicator on the system menu also changes from Charged to 99% every second
Do you know more Symptoms? That could be a good help to other users.
I have a small video, but I do not know how to post it here Sorry
Good look to all
MacBook Pro 17" 2.16GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)I would directly contact Apple.
Do not use the computer like that for long, also do not leave the computer along with the power cable pluged and the battery at the same time, it could burn.
Check that the battery does not look "fatter" or open.

You have had good information here. I will not repeat that here.
I would like to add:
you have incompatible software: start in SafeMode, read Woodmeister and see if it is free of issues.
Akamai is crap software needed or not, Huawei the same.
It is very possible that the keygenerator you used for generating a key for some softwares has infected your mac.
The non-regular software with the false key(s) are not compatible probably or generate malware. Luckily you can not update them automatically because the keygenerator blocked the software for contacting the developer... I propose to consider getting rid of those softwares by really good uninstalling.
You have a beautiful mac, don't degenerate it with crapped software. There are alternatives for expensive software, for example Adobe Photoshop has a free alternative (with a less beautiful interface) in GIMP. And so on.

New iPod touch bad battery life? Already tried tips and support said nothing is wrong...
I just got a new ipod the other day because my 4th gen had a really bad battery(it was very old). When I tried my new one out, I noticed it was just as bad. I tried all the powers saving tips but unfortunately they do not work. I called apple yesterday and they said it was fine( they looked at the battery through the diagnostics thing I think). Anyone know what to do?
We'll, I don't know a full charge, but it was at about 80-90% yesterday when I took it off the charger. All I did was listen to iTunes Radio and use my snapchat on and off and I got the 20% warning in less than an hour
