This keeps happening.. annoying, do I take it in?

My computer keeps falling asleep on its own when it says it has plenty of juice left in the battery. The past two times this has happened, it has been at 40% and 30% respectively. Then I plug it in, and boom, it says 0%, and it begins to charge. I have tried re-calibrating the battery. I also have the Macbook Superdrive computer. What is going on? Do I need to take it in and get the battery replaced? Thanks for your help and advice.

I have the same problem. I use my macbook at school and when occasionally when I shut down my computer it does, but then it goes in sleep mode and runs really hot. When I open my macbook for my next class or when I get home it is usually dead, or lost a lot of battery. It also says something about the OS X recovering from a serious problem. One time I pressed the shutdown button and and left the LCD up, then a screen came up saying needed to restart after it already shut down. I did and it said that it recovered from a serious problem. I called apple support but I am beyond my 90 day phone help (why only 90 days????) and they said that it might be a problem with software. It happens occasionally but I don't know what to do to fix. Oh and my Macbook was made in week 31 of 2006, not quite sure if that helps. I also am running OS X 10.4.8

  • HP Photosmart C8180 Printer! WHY does this keep happening every day??

    I have only had this for 3 months and it already has problems.
    It keeps telling me its out of paper when it is not.
    i always have at least 20 sheets in there!
    You can hear the rollers going but it can't pick up the paper and I only use high quality A4 paper in there.
    i then have to pull the tray out and push it back in, and yes i have the paper inserted in there correctly
    also, sometimes when i get this "out of paper" message, i ignore it and just press OK and it works fine 
    why does this keep happening?
    this is disgusting coming from a Quality brand like HP
    think its time to go to BBC Watchdog! 
    A printer is an item meant to print. 
    It is generally helpful if a printer recognizes such out-of-the-ordinary, eccentric, unheard-of media such as...oh, I dunno, 8.5 x 11-inch PAPER?????
    It claims repeatedly to have run out of paper. No paper. No paper. Insert paper into paper tray. Now, granted, the minimalist quality of the paper tray--it holds 20 pages, roughly--might convince you that I had indeed used up all my paper; this is not the case. 18 of the 20 sheets are still there. So I readjust that paper, close the tray. It starts to pull in a piece of paper, and then there is the giant crunchy noise of a paper jam in progress. And forget about “easy access” for removing them, either.
    In the months I have had this printer, I don’t believe it has EVER allowed me to print five pages consecutively without some sort of problem.  To me, this is known as an EPIC FAIL.

    So how is the printer set up?  Is it wireless or USB?  If USB you will need a cable, purchased seperately.  It is a standard A/B USB cable widely available inexpensively.  (The $1 cables form the dollar store work fine....
    Running the diagnostics at http://www.hp.com/go/tools may help resolve the issue.

    Are you choosing it from one of these folders (in my screenshot) or you can also put that picture into the correct folder. The path is:
    HD > Library > Desktop Pictures
    If you add it to the folder manually, please restart your computer.
    And yes, letting it sleep is a good idea, or else the startup disk will spin and the screen may suffer from image persistence if you leave a window or image parked in the same spot too long, so the screensave is a good idea.

    My firefox at home, (version 3) does not have this happen! I'm afraid of upgrading to version 3 because of all these problems. I use FireFox for work so i really need it and I'm wasting crucial time restarting websites and updating my websites/blog/business listings from scratch. not right!
    I also notice it happens a lot to Harley Davidson website.

  • Why does this keep happening?

    I have currently downloaded Skype on my iPad, as I have no laptop which allows me to use it. I also have an iPhone which I have Skype downloaded onto for when I'm on the go. My problem now is that my contacts won't show online. I have the latest version of Skype and also the latest version of iOS. When I used the application yesterday they were showing up fine, but I have logged in today and their pictures won't show it is just a blank picture with a question mark and also some of them are appearing offline when they are online. Certain contacts are online with no picture and their username but not their actual name. I have checked on my phone and it shows they are online, but with no picture and their usernames only. I have tried logging out and logging back in, I have tried going offline and back online, I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, I have also deleted them and added them again but nothing has worked. When I message the offline contacts my messages aren't getting through. This has happened twice now and it's really starting to annoy me as I need to keep in contact with them over personal and important matters. Can somebody please fix this? It seems like nobody is bothering to update or fix the bugs on the iPad and iPhone apps lately.

    I thought I was the only one with this problem! With my first iPod it happened everytime it would recieve any sort of small bump or shake. I don't mean a drop, just a small tap. Sometimes it would lose info if I ran up or down the stairs and my (otherwise empty)jacket pocket would shake with it in there. Checked/unchecked all the tabs, reset it, updated it...nothing. The only thing that would work was to delete everything and reload it.
    After looking online and finding no help, finally took it back the the Apple store and after looking at it they just switched it out(with a refurb). Which kinda ****** me off cause basically in the end I basically paid full price for a refurbished ipod.
    Anyways my second ipod isnt as touchy but so far in the three weeks I've had it it's done it twice(the first week I didn't use it cause I was P.O'ed about getting a refurb considered trying to take back).Out of the blue this time, no outside source needed. If/when it happens again I'm just taking it back.
    If any of you iPod guru's out out there know of a (good,permanant)fix please post it! I'd rather not deal with the store.
    Just a note: Don't think I abuse the ipod at all. I'm actually rather anal about it. No drops, not a scratch on it.I probably treat it better than I treat my kids.
    Good luck Justin! You are not alone!!

  • HT4650 my safari keeps crashing on my iMac. anyone know why. this keeps happening after 10 seconds or so. any ideas?

    SAFARI keeps crashing on my Imac.
    I have checked for virus software and appear to have none.
    I have checked the automatic safari address that loads, which mysteriously had a ,http/ with a coma infront of the default website address to load on safari. I have changed this so the default website is back to apple without the , before the address.
    Can anyone suggest what I do next. I keep getting an error message after 3-10 seconds.

    And have you loaded any optimizers/add-ons/accelerators/anti-malware tools/etc or similar?
    Any (free or paid) product that was advertised as helpful?
    Any Safari extensions loaded?

  • I plugged in my itouch and itunes says there's an error and tells me to restore to factory mode.WHY does this keep happening to me?

    Okay so before my itouch was jailbroken then all of a sudden it deleted all my songs and when I plugged it back into the computer itunes didn't recognize it so I had to restore it to factory settings deleting my 20+ apps . After I did that I jailbroke it again since the hardware was basically brand new, then while it was syncing i transfered a song and it interfered with the sync and deleted everything so I upgraded it once again. Now I have't jailbroken it and it the same thing has happened TWICE. Everything is fine and I plug it in and my computer recognizes it cause its charging but Itunes says there's and error and it simply doesn't recognize it and makes me restore it to factory settings DELETING everything. Now I'm scared to buy apps because if this happens again it deleted everything thousands of songs I have to put back manually etc. What is wrong with my itouch? Is it the itouch or the itunes because my itouch is no longer jailbroken and working fine. I took it to the apple store and they told me they couldn't do anything about it because it was working fine on their computer. -_- HELP?!!! I'M tired of this happening.

  • Whenever I click on a song in my itunes library an exclamation point appears and I am no longer able to play this song or video why does this keep happening and what can I do to fix it?

    Whenever I click on a song or video in my library and I try to play it, and exclamation point immediately pops up and it tells me that my song or video's origional file cannot be located. It has happened to over 100 of my songs and I would like to know what is happening and what I can do to fix it. Let me know. Thanks!

    The usual explanation for this is that:
    1. You have changed the iTunes preferences so that when importing a song the file is not copied into the iTunes media library - doing so is the default.
    2. You have subsequently moved the original file, which iTunes has been using to play your song, and so of course it's lost contact with it.
    If 1. is not the case, then the files in the iTunes Library (by default, in (user)/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music) may have been moved, deleted or become corrupted. You should check in that library, but don't start moving files in there about. If this is the case you should delete the songs in the iTunes Music list, not in the Finder, and re-import.
