T40 2373-8CU battery light stays on when unit unplugged and shut down
i have a T40 that the battery light stays on with the unit shut down and unplugged. It would appear that the battery is always discharging with this issue.
I think you may have already been told what the problem is. However look at this and maybe it will help:

Probably another genius bar appointment is the best way to exactly define the problem.
Good luck.

PlayBook battery level warning does not always work and shuts down without warning
My BlackBerry PlayBook, operating on the new OS2, annoyingly shuts down at 12% battery life without any warning if I have anything open. If open applications are reduced so that the desktop is visible, the PlayBook will alarm at 9% and and continue to run below this figure. Does anyone have a solution to this or experienced this issue? Thank you.
Your Macbook is still under warranty.
I would call Apple Support and see what they recommend. You don't have to purchase the AppleCare unless you want to.
You have another choice.
You can buy a new battery and see if that works for you.

Then you could take in the original battery and have it checked out under warranty.
Of course, you would probably end up with two batteries in the end but sometimes that is a good thing depending on how much you travel.

I recently transferred my internet service to another state.I have not yet moved my imac, just my pc laptop. I cannot get my airport extreme wireless router to work. The green light stays lit when everything is connected but I can't connect to the internet. Any suggestions?
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results. -
My mac wont turn on. It is charging and the on light is on when the computer is shut but once I open it the light turns off and the screen is black. I turn it off and then on again and the start up noise goes but it is still black - Help!?
Claire, please post your machine specs as requested. There are some variants of the MBP with specific hardware issues. Example: the older "silver key" MBPs with 2.2Ghz and faster processors can have a defective video chipset that produces a black screen or distorted video. That problem is covered under an Apple program that will fix this at no cost to you if you computer is that model.
Do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info..." button. That launches System Profiler for you. The first screen looks like this:
The second line, "Model Identifier" (or "Machine Model" if you are running OS10.4) precisely identifies your MBP variant. Post that, and include it in your equipment info in your profile for future posts. That means people don't have to ask, and you get faster help that is targeted to your specific model. Saves everybody a bunch of keystrokes and you get better advice. -
When I open newsstand it only stays open for 1 second then shuts down. This started happening after I upgraded to 6.0. Any suggestions for how to fix this?
Try quitting Newsstand completely - double tap home button, delete it from the multitasking shelf - then launch it again.

Hi everyone,
I was playing games on my 3gs the other day and then it shut off randomly and the screen slowly faded away the battery was at about 70%
now it will just turn off randomly without warning unless plug into a power source and wont turn on after shutting off unless plugged in
I have tried restoring it, putting it in a dehumidifier and also charging overnight
I have tried to drain the battery but it wont work because it will shut down whilst i am draining the battery
One time today i turned it off and left it for a few hours, the battery was 89% but when i turned it back on a few hours late it showed the plug into power sign
It charged to about 33% and then a few mins later it went up to 100%
Could this be a battey percentage sensor problem?
It anyone has an idea of what might be going on please tell me, it would be greatly apreciated
Also: i am on ios 5.1.1 and NOT jailbroken
Thanks
KelbyI had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot! -
I've had my iPhone 5 for about one year with no problems. Lately however, when I turn on the phone when the battery charge is down to say 25% (due to previous use) sometimes moments after turning the phone on it will go from 25% charged to 0% charged and shut down. Other times after the phone has been on for several hours and the charge level is down to about 10% or so, it will suddenly discharge to 0% rather than gradually going down in increments of 1 or 2% at a time. This appears to happen most often when wi-fi is turned on. Any ideas on what may be causing this? I have installed the latest version of iOS7.
ThanksHi there brianfromwestmichigan,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

When i try to shut down my iphone it just restarts itself
I just accidentally dropped the phone in a cooler full of water pulled it out right away and took it out of its rubber cover and wiped it all off... its working fine except the occasional message pops up: "this accessory is not made to work with iphone..."
so now i figure i would turn it off and let it dry out over night... when i go to shut it down it goes through all the motions and shuts down - a few moments later the apple icon pops up and it restarts. i cant get it to shut off.
what should i do? should i take the battery out? its going to run out of power pretty soon and i am not plugging it in until its dry.
what should i do??
thanks.Welcome to the discussions,
some people with water damage put their phone in a sealed bag of rice for a couple of days to take out the moisture. You can't exchange the battery, it's build in. If this does not help, you'll have to get your phone serviced. See also this article about water damage and repair options: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3302 and http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/ -
When I log in to my admin account. Mac hangs for a while and shuts down
I had a error first something like cannot open the home folder. Since then when I log in with my user and password mac icon comes in and then a scroll bar type of things appears at the bottom and shuts down. Can u help.
The icon in the upper right of the screen (assuming you are using the Mail app) that looks like a square with a pen is the new message button. Tap that to create a new mail message.

my mail will not open after I click on mail.when I try to shut down my laptop ,it wouldn't telling that mail is preventing the computer from shutting down,asking to quit Mail and when I do mail dose not quit
Mail is open but it is frozen, being this the reason why you cannot open the Mail window. Press Alt, Command and Esc keys or go to > Force Quit, select Mail and force quit it. Finally, you will be able to turn off or restart the MacBook

v 3.6.13 - what has become of 'Restore previous session'? I've lost track of many topics in tags I had open when I had to shut down in advance of a power down by the electricity co. for day-long maintenence work in my area.

IPhone is 17 month old and shutting down when not connected to the mac any this I can do about it?
iPhone is 17 month old and shutting down when not connected to the mac any this I can do about it?
should I bring it to apple ?Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.
Replacing or even suggesting replacing hardware without doing basic troubleshooting first is not very smart.
If basic troubleshooting does not resolve, take it to Apple for evaluation. There is no obligation to pay for anything, the evaluation is free. -

Hi Ted,

Ignore the MacKeeper ad no matter what else you decide.
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Just sits there occupying very little space & never interfering, unless you need to invoke it in Single User Mode.
