"THE" battery problem, or something even worse???

My PowerBook is only a month old. I calibrated the battery the first time I used it, and it held a charge for about 2 hours the first few times. Then is started getting freaky.
Here's what happens:
-Battery only charges to 96 percent, then the green light goes off and it doesn't continue to charge.
-If I then unplug the cable, I get about 20 minutes of battery life at best.
-If the battery drains completely and shuts down and I plug the computer in, I can't turn it back on. I have to wait several minutes, and then it will suddenly work again.
-When I finally do get it to turn on after a full discharge, my date is set to 1970.
-When I remove the battery and try to work with power only, I can't turn it on at all. It will only turn on at all if the battery is in.
That last point in particular is making me worry. It seems like it may not be the battery, but something else. Any ideas?
I checked the apple site to see if my battery is one of the batteris affected by "the" problem, but it isn't.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

You're right -- Apple is aware of the bad batch of batteries. I talked with an Apple tech today and he was very excited about hearing there was some type of thing that happened when I jiggled the AC connector in it's socket. As I mentioned above, on a battery from the "bad" batch, the mAh went from 800-ish to 4600+ just by moving the connector in and out a little -- he immediately escalated the call to his supervisor, as there may be some issue with not only the bad batteries, but also/or the charging circuitry (at least in my PBook). From the two of them (the rep and the sv), I had the feeling there's been no discussion (in their camp) of problems beyond the now-accepted bad battery issue, so at least now they are aware of other possibilities, FWIW. But, like I said, it may just be my PBook.
It's been 24 hours since I this happened, and the battery ran for over four hours non-stop the first time it reset, and I've used it on and off today, with the charge dropping to 85% a couple of times, and it still shows a cur/max mAh as 4563/4570 on XRG.
For those of you (with October, 2005 hi-res PBooks) having battery problems, call Apple for a replacement battery. If you're thinking of also jiggling your ac connector in its socket on your PBook to possibly get the same result I did (described above), be advised that all it took for my unit to change or somehow reset the charge factors was a very SLIGHT, subtle pressure, and it could more accurately be decribed as a very gentle in-out manipulation that was only lasted a split second and it was hardly an exact motion. That's all -- it was an inadvertant result and I can't promise you will be able to repeat it (I don't know that I could repeat it). The important thing is that it happened, and tso I'm reporting it. For the record, I'm NOT advising you to start wiggling and yanking connections -- use your heads, kids

The battery problem (and an explanation)

This is for all the people who posted with battery problems (battery always shows full charge / charging, battery only charges with wall charger, battery drains overnight on full charge even though it is off, ipod cannot be turned off).
If you are under warranty, take it to the apple store. If you are like me and are out of warranty, you have a couple options.
1. If the only problem you experience is with a weak charge (battery drains overnight on full charge) then it is probably a battery problem. Follow the usual steps (5 R's) first, then search online for replacement batteries. The process is EASY and CHEAP.
2. If you experience any of the other problems I listed (the ones I have are: Ipod won't turn off - which causes the battery to drain quickly, always shows charged / charging, only charges through wall charger) then you probably have a logic board problem. This is the answer people aren't giving you. Unfortunately, the logic board replacement is much more expensive (however, with the right tools which are cheap, it is not that difficult).
What are your options? You can sell your ipod for parts and buy a new one. Your other option is to try and pick up a broken ipod and hope it has a working logic board. Note that the 'sad face' can actually be a problem with the logic board and not the hd! If the hd is making clicking noises / clearly sounds bad, then it is probably an hd problem. Keep this in mind.
Currently I plug my ipod into the wall charger each day then only use it for short trips when I need it. I'm hoping the next gen ipods come out soon =]. However, I am keeping my eyes open for ipods that may have hd or other problems that I can pick up on the cheap. I have not turned to ebay since it is hard to figure out exactly what the problem is.

My brother never syncs either and that's not good. Should sync often if not every day. So, given that, as far as your apps go, did you remove any apps over the last year and you just forgot? If so, when you synced with your computer it simply deleted the apps from your phone. Not being snide just a thought.

Flashing icon - battery problems? Something else?

Hopefully I have, at last, found the right forum...My lime clamshell iBook, running system 9.2.2, froze yesterday, and when I restarted, a flashing folder with a ?, switching with a folder with the Mac two-facing-profiles symbol, was on the screen. I have never had this symbol ever.
I found my hardware test disk and tested the system -- no probs. But the flashing folder remained whenever I restarted.
Over on the OS 9 board, there is a discussion about this flashing icon previous to my crisis today, and the group said an internal battery is the problem. I asked exactly what model I needed for my old iBook (I'm in Germany, and the Mac store here needs exact names and numbers for anything to do with my old system). I was told "Your lime iBook ca. 2000 machine has the Apple designation of iBook (Firewire). That model, like all iBook models, does not have a separate backup (internal) battery such as some PowerBook models and all desktop models have. The only battery the iBook models have is the main battery." A poster suggested I head over here on this branch of the forum and seek advice. But I posted to the wrong portion of this branch so, hopefully, this is the right one.
Someone on the other branch said something about resetting something... but if I can't turn the computer on (past the flashing icon), then how can I reset anything?
I JUST replaced this battery, not a year ago. But about six months ago, it started losing all power after just an hour or so, and I would have to reset the clock, etc. when the power just suddenly ended when my computer was unplugged. Now, I can't unplug my computer at all except for a few minutes, otherwise, the batter just quits suddenly, poof. I put the old battery back in today, but it didn't help.

I'm not sure what you are reading but it doesn't sound like a battery problem. It sounds like the iBook can't find a valid system folder to start from.
In KB 58042, A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac under "Steps for Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9" you will find the following:
The possible causes and solutions for this symptom appear in the order that you should try them. If any step resolves the issue, you don't need to continue to the next one. If at any time in this process you determine that your System Folder or its contents are missing or were intentionally deleted, reinstall Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9.
If you normally start up from Mac OS 9 but don't have a Mac OS 9 CD that can be used as a startup disk, follow the steps for Mac OS X above. Some computers include Mac OS X Installation CDs and a Mac OS 9 Restore CD that can't be used as a startup disk. Once you've started up from Mac OS X, make sure a copy of Mac OS 9 is installed. If you erased your disk since the last time you started up in Mac OS 9, you may need to need to install Mac OS 9 drivers.
Start the computer from the Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 Installation or Restore CD that came with the computer.
Open the Utilities folder and locate Disk First Aid.
Open Disk First Aid and repair the disk.
Open the Startup Disk control panel.
Choose your hard disk as the startup disk.
Restart the computer.
Note: If your hard disk is not available (mounted) when started up from CD, reset the PRAM as described below, then repeat these steps. If your hard disk is still not available after resetting PRAM, contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Technical Support.
If you can't choose your hard disk in the Startup Disk control panel, your System Folder may have been altered or removed. In some cases, you may solve the issue by moving files back into the correct location in a process known as "reblessing" the System Folder. A "blessed" System Folder is one that is recognized as a valid startup System Folder, as indicated by the appearance of the Mac OS logo badge on the System Folder.
Reblessing the System Folder only works when all the original files are still installed and in the correct location (or you can put them back in the correct location). If any files have been deleted, you may need to reinstall system software. If you have deliberately removed System Folder files, this includes putting them back where you found them.
Additionally, you should only have one folder named "System Folder" on your disk (not to be confused with the folder named simply "System" that is installed by Mac OS X, if both systems are installed on the same disk).
To rebless your System Folder:
Start up from CD.
Close any open windows.
Open the hard disk.
Choose By Name from the View menu.
Locate the System Folder. Tip: You should only have one System Folder. If necessary, rename any other "System Folder" you're not using. Don't rename "System" if Mac OS X is also installed.
Open the System Folder. At this time, you should replace any items that you have previously removed from the System Folder, if applicable.
Do one of the following:
->If Mac OS X is not installed or is installed on a different volume than Mac OS 9, drag the System suitcase and the Finder to your hard disk icon. If you have more than one hard disk, drag the files to the hard disk where the System Folder is.
->If Mac OS X is installed on the same volume or partition as Mac OS 9, create a new folder outside of the System Folder but on the same disk, then drag the System suitcase and the Finder to the new folder.
Close the System Folder.
Drag the System suitcase and Finder back onto the System Folder icon.
When the Mac OS logo reappears over the System Folder, it has been reblessed. Select the folder in the Startup Disk control panel, then restart the computer.

TS3274 I purchesed a new Ipad Air on the 23rd Jan, I have been travelling so not given it much use compared wit the old one but I noticed the battery was running down even though it was in sleep mode. Lat night it was on 58% charge, this morning i had a l

I have a new Ipad Air and have noticed everytime I open the screen the charge has reduced. over night it dropped from 58% to below 10 with a low battery warning.
The screen was asleep, cellular switched off, Bluetooth on for the keyboard. all setting infact the same as my last model which performed excellently.
Anyone know why its losing its charge so quickly. it also sems very slow to recharge also, in one hr its gained a 12% charge.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

After 300 cycles, is the battery problem considered normal?

I now have the dreaded "Macbook won't work unless plugged in" problem. Mine does recognize the battery at various percentages up to 100% and will charge it if it runs down (which it slowly will in sleep mode as I can unplug it then). Purchased the computer on June 6, 2006 (very out of warranty), and just started with this "can't unplug" issue last week.
After trolling this and other sites I have reset the SMU and the PRAM several times. Removed battery looks normal, no warping, and I am always updated on the software updates, so the battery update has been installed for a while now. I run maintenance scripts regularly as well.
I have calibrated the battery several times in the past but cannot now as it will take several days on sleep to run it completely down, and I need the computer daily for work as I am self-employed. I have always let it run down in the past to sleep mode, then plugged it in. I never used it plugged in while at 100%, until now since I have to.
Coconut Battery (which I just started using) says I'm at 3526 mAh of the original 5200, 67% capacity on a 100% charge. Is this typical at this age and usage of battery?
So battery cycles are at 307, plus I'm out of warranty. Is this behavior (can't run unplugged though battery is at 100% or will charge if lower) typical after 300 cycles? In other words, do I have to buy a new battery every year to avoid this sudden shut off if the magsafe cord is yanked accidentally during my work?
And I have read of others who get their battery with the same issue changed out under warranty--only to have the issue recur shortly later. Am I going to drop serious cash on a battery that will leave me in this same predicament in just a few weeks into the future? I really need advice on this one.

The memory thing has been going around since the Ni-Cad days. Li-Ion doesn't have that problem thank goodness. Here is some info that may also help you with your next battery.
It is OK to leave your battery hooked to the charger most of the time. The only time I unhook mine from the charger is when I calibrate. You should calibrate your battery once a month.

what are you on about?
Quote from above Nokia resource:
To increase your phone's battery life:
Turn on Battery Saver. Select Settings > battery saver. Note when Battery Saver is on, your phone will no longer: automatically receive email and calendar updates, update some Live Tiles and allow apps to run in the background.
Stop your phone scanning for available Wi-Fi networks if those are not available. Select Settings > WiFi > Off.
Switch Bluetooth on only when you need it. Select Settings > Bluetooth.
Use network connections selectively. For example, if the signal strength of the mobile network varies much in your area, your phone must scan for the available network repeatedly. This increases the demand on battery power. If the 3G connection is on in the mobile network settings, your phone searches for the 3G network. To switch off the 3G connection, select Settings > mobile network, and deactivate the 3G connection.
Reduce the frequency of email synchronization. Select Settings > email+accounts > YourEmail > Download new content.
Use a dark theme. Select Settings > theme > Background > dark. Select also dark theme in applications that offer an option.
Reduce the screen brightness. Select Settings > brightness > Level. Disable the automatic feature first. The brightness level also affects the Automatically adjust functionality.
Use a Wi-Fi connection to connect to the internet, rather than a mobile data (GPRS or 3G) connection.
Switch off location services if not needed – so the phone will not look up your location frequently in the background. SelectSettings > location > Off.
Disable unneeded background applications. Select Settings (swipe left to applications tab) > background tasks
Use wired headphones, rather than the loudspeaker.
Switch off unwanted sounds and functions, for example Vibrate. Select Settings > ringtones+sounds.
Switch off “connect with Xbox LIVE” when not needed. Select Xbox LIVE > Settings > Connect with Xbox LIVE.
Switch off your phone or switch flight mode on whenever phone is not needed, for example, while you are sleeping. Note that the alarm clock is not active if the phone is off!
Ensure your phone's battery is fully charged. Check Settings > battery saver > battery information. Note that older chargers may not fully charge the battery.
Note: it is recommended to use the original charger found in the sales package to charge the battery of your phone.
Note: make sure that your phone is running the latest software to get battery related improvements.
If the battery loses the power fast even though there are no features consuming the power, switch phone off and back on. The battery may be also wearing out and needs to be replaced with a new one.

HELP... Battery Problems Or Something

At First, the battery seemed completely drained... and it wouldnt charge. After trying to charge it for days, it only drained more... Now it will only turn on if i have it plugged into a charging block, not the computer(it wont show up on the computer when its drained)...but im also worried about the warranty, its a 3 year old IPod, and i cant even afford paint brushes...

If the iPod is three years old, then the battery could have reached the end of its life. They can only be re-charged so many times. But before you get to that stage, read on...
One thing you need to note; when you connect an iPod with a completely flat battery to a computer, nothing will appear to happen for a while - I think about fifteen or thirty minutes, I can't remember. Then, and only then, will the iPod "wake up", iTunes will recognise it and you can Sync it. However, if you unplug the iPod at this time, the battery will _very quickly_ drain flat again.
I suggest you connect it to your computer and leave it for _at least thirty minutes_ before anything happens. If it does wake up, leave it connected for several hours so that the battery has time to charge up to full. (Again, I can't remember - I think that takes about fours hours, but I may be wrong.)
The best thing is leave it until the lightning bolt (in the battery symbol) changes to the plug symbol and then leave it for an hour longer.
If this doesn't work, and you believe the battery may have reached the end of its life, Apple can replace the battery (for a fee, obviously). Apple changed one in my video iPod. Actually, they usually send you a replacement iPod (with no content on it). Alternatively, search the web for other suppliers who may (or may not) charge less for the work.

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. It is a great site for information and questions. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv6-6047cl Notebook and issues with the battery not working correctly. Here is a link to calibrate and test the Battery. Calibration should eliminate this issue. Plug the power adapter directly into a functioning wall outlet. Do not plug it into a power strip, surge protector, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue. HP Battery Check in HP System Diagnostics for Windows 8, would give you details of charging and discharging.Testing and Calibrating the battery using HP System Diagnostics in Windows 8. At the starting of the Notebook, Press F2 to select F2 System Diagnostics. Then choose Component Tests, then battery. Let me know how this goes. Thanks.

Can I leave the battery in my macbook even though I always have it plugged

Hi just bought a Macbook over the weekend and am new to mac after a few days I totally enjoy the os and probally will never use windows again but my question is I leave my macbook plugged in all the time should I leave the battery in and is ok to leave the macbook on all day while I am downloading files thank you

Hi, and welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You can leave your battery in if you leave it plugged in all the time, however it may affect the battery life negatively. See this article: http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
And if you do decide to leave it plugged in with the battery in, you should calibrate the battery regularly.
And yes, you can leave it running all day while downloading files.

Hello nosaint1961,
It sounds like you are unable to successfully boot your computer to your desktop. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article to help troubleshoot what is happening named:
Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1367
If your computer won't turn on, try each of these steps:
Verify you have a good connection from your Mac to the wall outlet by confirming the power cord and adapter if present are securely connected and plugged in. To check if the wall outlet is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.
If the wall outlet is working and you continue to have no power try another power cord or adapter if available. If it works you may need a replacement cord or adapter.
Note: See Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters for further troubleshooting with MagSafe adapters.
Disconnect all accessories that are plugged in to the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
If your Mac supports user-installable memory, solid state drive, or hard drive, and you recently installed any of these, make sure they are installed correctly and are compatible with your computer. If possible, reinstall the original memory or drive into the computer to find out if the behavior persists afterwards.

My iPod randomly dies, sometimes it lasts an hour sometimes it lasts 5 minutes on a full charge. Is it time to replace the battery or is something else wrong?

I have a 6th gen 160gb iPod that is almost 2 years old and just about 2 weeks ago i've been getting this problem. I've tried restoring it multiple times and have researched a little and im going on a limb to say my battery is shot. The iPod always shows a correct charge level but it just dies and it won't come back on until I plug it in to my computer or a dock. A few things I have randomly seen it do, when connected to my laptop it will go to the connect to power screen and stay there for awhile and once the display had a really messed up display (like a mixture of the normal display with the black and white lines you would see on an old TV with no signal.)

Another thingthat I noticed, when I charge it with headphones plugged in it seems to be fine and won't die for hours but if I plug in say some speakers, it will almost always die in like 5 minutes. So can it be something to do with the headphone jack or voltage change maybe?

I downloaded my software update yesterday but until now i was not able to open my iphone it keeps on blinking and the battery is too low even i kep on charging on it...it will just light up with the apple logo...pls pls help me what should i do with thank

pls help.... with my problem with my iphone

The phone randomly shutting down-that could be a hardware issue. Do you live near an apple store? they could see whats up with the phone. It could very well be something in the software though. A good way to test it would be to follow this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 and test it for a few days. If it doesn't do the shutting down thing, you know it's a software issue. If it still does it, you know it's a hardware issue.
As far as deleting the apps, they'll always be there. Just make sure there's not a check mark next to them and they won't sync to your phone =]

I just got an iPhone 5 64 gb model and the battery drains extremely fast even after tweaking the phone to save battery power anyone else having the same issue!?

Should I take it to the apple store?

Try these steps as needed.
1. Reset iPhone (no data loss): Press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
2. Restore in iTunes using a backup (no data loss)
3. Restore in iTunes as new (without using a backup)
Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software

"THE" battery problem, or something even worse???
