Time on battery check

Is there a way I can see how long the laptop has been running on battery?
This is different than seeing an estimate how long the laptop can run on the battery.

You can have udev run a script whenever your AC plug status changes. You could have it write the output of "date +%s" to some file whenever you unplug the cord. I trust you have sufficient ingenuity to figure the rest out without help .

MISSING: Time, Date, Battery Info

Since the new update, the Time, Date, Battery Info, etc that is normally in the top right hand corner toolbar is gone.
Going into system preferences to click the box for time doesn't work, because it is checked.

I am using a Panasonic HDC TM 300.
I have tried copying the individual .mts files and copying the entire folder structur. Neither of these show the EXIF info in the PPro cs 4 metadata (EXIF section).
As I said the date/time info etc shows up in Adobe Bridge.
Am I missing something or is this a problem with PPro cs 4??

Error: 0271: Real Time Clock Error - Check Date and Time settings.

Hello all,
I have lenovo T430s laptop that is configured with Bitlocker encruptions and TPM PIN entry. I don't think that has anything to do with the error msg I am getting but here it is. Error: 0271: Real Time Clock Error - Check Date and Time settings.
Press Esc to continue or F1 to enter setup. I am unable to get into BIOS or even the login screen for Windows 7.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks to everyone for the help. Just want to close this out. I had a IBM/Lenovo technician here today and he replaced the CMOS battery. Upon the change, the computer is fine being reconnected to the dock (the three times I tried it). So it has been resolved with the battery. Surprised by the incompatibility claim because I am not having issues now. Wondering if it's just a USB 2.0 vs. 3.0 thing (and Lenovo trying to sell more peripherals, of course).
Thanks!

Sat-M70: Estimated remaining time on battery

Ive just bought a Satellite M70-144 and have a question regarding running on battery
When running on battery the remaining running time on battery is only displayed in percent in Toshiba Power Saver. On my old Toshiba notebook and on other notebooks Ive used, the remaining battery time is also displayed in estimated hours and minutes.
Is this a general feature of the M70 and is there a way to fix this?
Regards
Peter

Hello Peter
I have checked it now with my Tecra notebook and here is the same result like R2D2 described. When you remove AC power adaptor wait a few minutes and go with mouse pointer over the power saver icon in taskbar.
By the way: it is really not important what is shown because you can not bank on it.

PRAM battery checker

Has anyone used - safely and successfully - the PRAM battery checker application found here:
http://www.polar-orbit.com/software.html
Thanks,

Will the battery slowly poop out and give me warning signs or just die? When I replace the battery do I just have to reset the clock or are there other settings that are lost?
People often think that having a bad battery doesn't make any real difference other than having to reset your clock. This battery may be essential for PRAM operation even if your computer is plugged in. A bad battery can corrupt PRAM and cause startup problems, but it has to be in the computer or the computer won't start at all, so if it is starting to go you are forced into a corner. PRAM stores other startup information about your computer, not just date and time. Some people experience startup problems with a bad PRAM battery. The computer may have to hunt for a startup disk or forget their preferred startup disk, especially if you have more than one drive. The monitor may not come up although the computer starts. Read the links provided earlier for details.
The more you leave your computer unplugged (vs. just turned off but still plugged in) the faster the battery will drain. I leave my computer plugged in all the time and have gone at least 5 years without needing a battery. If I unplug a computer it may only last a few months (maybe, not sure exactly how long, only did it once).
A battery on the edge of going may be able to recover slightly if you plug a computer back in.
Do you need to replace it? It depends upon how safe you want to play it. I have a spare in a drawer somewhere. I have also been able to continue to use a computer with a bad battery though I sometimes had to baby it on startup - multiple tries, reset clock. The cheapest batteries can be bought online. It's not a size commonly stocked. National battery specialists/computer stores may have them but they cost more. If you're out in the boonies and don't like hassle then get a replacement. Think of a car with a weak battery. If you want to be sure it will start immediately and be there when you need it then it's only a matter of maybe $5 +$5 shipping every now and then. As I said, I have a spare in a drawer and have several computers that all use the same size battery.

Real Time Clock Error - Check Date and Time settings, System CMOS Checksum bad

Hello everybody,
Can help anyone to resolve my problem.
I have an Thinkpad W520 (42823FG), BIOS 8BET60WW 1.4 When I disconect AC power and remove battery and connect again, I see this message on screen:
"Real Time Clock Error - Check Date and Time settings, System CMOS Checksum bad
Press Esc to continue or F1 to enter Setup"
Is this a system board problem or CMOS battery problem ?
Thank you

Hello and welcome,
It's probably (hopefully) just the CMOS battery. The easiest way to find out is to just replace that battery.
Page 85 of the Hardware Maintenance Manual:
Hardware Maintenance Manual
Here's an example of the battery. I'm not recommending (or not) this vendor:

So after updating my ipod touch 3rd gen to 4.3.1 i noticed a lag everytime i turn it back on. it stays on the lock screen for minutes sometimes hours. the screen is usually unresponsive the only things usually changing are the time and battery percentage.

so aafter upsating my touch to 4.3.1 i have noticed everytime i restart the ipod there is a huge lag at the lock screen. the screen only updates itself every three to five minutes only updating the time and battery status. i cannot do anything, usually it will stay like this for minutes sometimes hours. i have tried restoring it and thought updating will fix the problem but it hasn't yet. i currently have ios 4.3.3. recently i had a friend look into the ipod and he told me on a folder called damaged files he found this, 37c3ad com.apple.autowake.plist. how can i fix this?

Try a manual install following directions in link below.

As a novice computer user, I wonder why I'm often getting "white-out" (program/app I'm working in goes totally blank onscreen). If it makes a difference, I'm working 99% of the time on battery, not AC, power. What causes this?

As a novice computer user, I wonder why I'm often getting "white-out" (program/app/site I'm working in goes totally blank onscreen). This is when I'm Internet online. If it makes a difference, I'm working 99% of the time on battery, not AC, power. Some of the possibilities I'm guessing are: glitches in my Verizon FiOS Wi-Fi providership?; staying too long on a site that's waiting for me to finish and "Submit"?; computer hardware prob (yikes, I hope not! It's brand new). Any ideas out there?

When this 'white-out' occurs, is the display 100% white with no error message and no menu bar?
Does this occur when you are using Wi Fi or connected to the Internet via the Ethernet cable?
Ciao.

Note messages at the time of availability check in sales order entry form

Hello Friends,
Im getting the following note messages at the time of availability check in the sales order entry form.
ATP Process resulted in no data
User defined exception in package OE_SCHEDULE_UTIL Procedure Load_Results_from_rec
User defined exception in package OE_SCHEDULE_UTIL Procedure Load_Results_from_tbl
After this when we book the order, the order line status becomes 'Booked' and does not change to 'Awaiting Shipping'
As a result of which im not able to proceed ahead with the rest of the order to cash cycle.
Can somebody please guide me in resolving this error.
We don't intend to use ATP as the client's business process is such that they maintain adequate inventory balances.
Regards
Anil Wadhwa

Hi Anil
Are you using a RAC DB configuration? Please check if this is true, there are special setup steps that are required to be performed in case of RAC DB configuration and this issue usually occurs if such configuration is missing specifically if its happening randomly for some ATP requests.
You can find actual steps to be performed on metalink.
Thanks

Iphone 5,Facebook app, time and battery % does not display?

Using iphone 5, Facebook app, why does the time and battery percentage no longer display?

First, double-tap the home button and then swipe up on the FB app to close it out. Then, try again. Second, delete the FB app and then reinstall it and see if that resolves the issue.

Just updated to 7.1 and now open some apps and cannot seethe entire screen because the iPad, time n battery icons are covering top of screen.

Just updated to 7.1 and now open some apps and cannot see the entire screen because the iPad, time n battery icons are covering top of screen.

I tried what you said but it still didn't help.
It only affects some of my apps other apps are fine.
For some reason in some of my apps the iPad, time and battery icons get bigger on the top of my screen so I can't see the top of the app page which effects some of the games and applications.
Is there any way to turn these icons off on the top of the screen?

The Battery in my laptop has been replaced twice and this is the third time the battery has swollen up.
Since the first time it was swollen I have asked the reason but Apple has not come up with a reason and just replaced it.
Second time also the service centre replaced the battery but were unable to give me a reason.
I had asked them to replace the laptop as this has been happening repeatedly and seems to be something with the laptop
otherwise why should every battery they put swell ?
This is the third time this has happened. And now they refuse to replace the battery or the laptop also.
What is the solution?

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and press the problem. Elevate to store manager if necessary. Maybe the charging circuits are defective resulting in overcharging which is causing the battery problem.

So what you want is for it to say Lebanon (English)? If so, see if this helps:

Time Zone support - checked or unchecked?

I export my iCal claendar to Entourage (for the better printouts) and noticed that some appointments were showing up in the Entourage calendar 1 hour earlier than they should. When I oen up the individual event in Entourage it has the correct time, but in Entourage's daily, weekly or monthly display, it's an hour off.
So I went back to iCal, and checked Time Zone support and made sure that every event had the correct time zone. Then I exported again, and this time Entourage had EVERY event showing at the wrong time. I've looked everywhere, and I cannot find any preference or setting with the wrong time zone checked.
I've posted a note on an Entourage forum, but my question for this forum is as far as this issue is concerned, do you think I'd be better off with iCal's Time Zone Support checked or unchecked?

There's a patch you need to run for Entourage 2004. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930402/en-us?spid=1720
This requires download and install of Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac 11.3.3 Update. A link to that download is contained on the page above. Be sure you get 11.3.3, because there are other versions referenced.
