There is an X through my battery

There is an "x" through my battery and I do not know what happened. It was working fine when I opened it this morning and it was at 59% and then all of a sudden the screen went black and so I restarted it and then when it all came back on, the "x" was there in the battery symbol and when I click on it, it says "no batteries available" and I do not know what to do.
PLEASE HELP!!! I have put it to sleep, shut it down, restarted it...done it all. NOTHING will change it and I do not know what to do.

Sounds like you don't have a workstation, but a laptop.

There's an X through my battery, but my computer is still running. What's wrong with it?

My computer lately has been randomly just shutting off, then it won't charge for about 10 minutes. Unless I plug it in to another outlet. There's an X through the battery, but my computer is still running without a power adapter. I've gotten two brand new chargers in the past 9 months for the computer because I've had problems before. Is it my charger again, or battery?

I would be inclined to think it is a battery issue. Try rebooting your computer. Maybe a glitch in the battery monitoring. Are you still on Apple Care/ Warranty. Why not take it to an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for evaluation, or call your nearest Apple Contact Center. Visit the Genius Bar at the Apple Retail Store, make a reservation.

Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2.Plug in and remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

Is there a way of stopping the battery from charging?

Dear Apple Community,
Recently I installed iStat Menus and found that, over the course of this year, my Macbook's charging capacity has dropped 5%. I know this isn't a massive number, but battery performance has become a concern for me. I use my Macbook as a desktop replacement, on the main. It's sitting on a mStand, connected to a large monitor on my desk. I use my Macbook to play games, surf the internet, do work and all that good stuff - basically, I use it for everything. I rarely use the Macbook without it being plugged in. I read on the Apple website that they do not recommend leaving the Macbook on charge permanently and that I should use it on battery at least one a month. As I use my Macbook as a desktop replacement, I don't actually have a lot of opportunity to do this.
My question to you, the community, is: is there a way of stopping the battery from charging, either with the use of an app or a physical device? Ideally, I would love to have my power plugged in BUT only used when the battery drops below 10%. Is this possible with an app?
On the other hand, am I just worrying about nothing? Will my battery be damaged further if I leave the Macbook charging permanently?
Thanks for your help!

The charging characteristics are handled in firmware. There is no app that would be able to do this. You actually would not want to do this anyway. Regularly discharging your battery to 10% will greatly decrease the life of your battery. While it is true that you should not use your system exclusively plugged in, allowing it to run on battery a few hours a week should be fine. Letting the battery regularly run down to (or below) 10% will cause you to use up cycles more quickly than is necessary (thereby reducing the life of your battery). It's really a only a matter of disconnecting your Magsafe connector once in a while.
Leaving it plugged in does not result in it being charged "permanently". It will charge until it is full and then charging will stop. It will only begin recharging when it reaches about 95%.

Absolutely. Search this forum or look in the "More Like This" box to your right.

My Blackberry does not start up, all I get is a red line through the battery

Hi this is my first Blackberry and seven months after purchace I phone stops working. All I get when I turn it on is a red line through the battery. I bought a new battery and the same thing. I am like at wits end, HELP!

#1. Be patient with #2.
#2. Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the USB cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage).

If the charging plug fits, use it.

To many different suggestions as to battery life of the MacPro. Is there one way to keep your battery life, do I keep it plugged in to AC or do I not?

To be honest, I would only plug it in when necessary. On my older 2009 MBP, I plug it in at night and it lasts me a solid 5-6 hours, if it needs to be plugged in during the day, I usually do it with about 2-3 hours left.

Is there a way to reset the battery to make it last longer without getting a new battery?

I have an ipod touch 4th generation 8GB and the battery was ruined by accidentaly overcharging it a few times. I was wondering if there was a way to fix the battery so it returns to the charge it is supposed to hold. I currently have without getting a new battery, or replacing it. Please respond.

Don't know of any way to "restore" a lithium ion battery like you could do when rejuvinating a nicad type battery. If the lithium ion battery has reached a stage where it will not service the needs of your device, you need to replace it.
Usually the lithium ion batteries don't suffer much from overcharging because the proper charger will limit the charging current to a trickle. Lithium ion batteries are more apt to suffer by letting it discharge to an almost zero state, and letting it stay that way for a period of time.
