Top case got replaced; battery doesn't last as long as the old one

My rMBP mid 2012 had a problem with the trackpad so I got the top case replaced, since the warraty was expired and I was stupid enoght not buy the apple care, It cost me around $650 USD, got it back last tuesday, everything seems to work fine except for the battery, it doesn't last as long as the old one, wich is kinda of wierd since the old one was around one and a half years old, should I consider taking it back to the Apple Premiun Reseller where I got it fixed? how common are these issues? Finally I read on reddit that I can ship my laptop to an official Apple store/service and got it diagnose or fixed? Is it worth it? I read that some folks got it exchange for a new one, the conditions of my laptop are pretty good, I have taken extreme good care of it, but some problems still arise, it has a couple of white stuck pixels in the display besides the problems that I already mentioned already.
Cheers!

Did you read carefully?
Note the words 'up to' not 'will' last 9 hours. Apple makes these measurements based on very minimal resource intensive applications. My experience that battery run time is much less than these unrealistic advertising claims. Battery run time will be a function of the number and types of applications that are in use.
Try a SMC reset:

That may improve things somewhat.

My battery has had no noticeable change.

I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon. How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge?

I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon. How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge? Will the new one become less effective if it sits around too long?

How much capacity is remaining on your current battery?
Check your power status
From the  menu: Hold OPTION and click System Information... èHardware è Power
Copy and Paste in your reply.
The new battery will become less effective if you store it in a hot or humid environment. It should be stored at room temperature (22 C).
Long term storage (6 months):
Apple recommends that you store the battery with a 50% charge. If you store a battery when it’s fully discharged, it could fall into a deep discharge state, which renders it incapable of holding any charge. Conversely, if you store it fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may experience some loss of battery capacity, meaning it will have a shorter life.

My battery doesn't last as long as it should, why?

Brand new macbook pro 15", I've transferred all my files, downloaded a couple apps. My battery last maybe 3-4 hours. What can I do to trouble shoot this or is it a problem to contact apple about? Medium brightness and medium key brighness mostly

Your other post mentioed that your computer's fan is on high speed. From this I can only make out that you're doing some processor intensive work. A battery life of 3-4 hours is the ideal time for such working conditions. On the other hand, if you're not doing any processor intensive work and are doing the minimal (such as just word processing or simple browsing), you'd see a 6+ hour battery life.

HELP!!! My blackberry is really slow and the battery doesn't last for long

Hi everybody,
I hope very much you can help me!
Since one week I have real trouble with my blackberry tour!
I have bought only a year ago in the US and no warranty as I live in Germany....
It started that I had
- a temperature scale is on my devise, 63 Fahrenheit, 70 Fahrenheit..changing
- every task takes forever, even opening a new message or dialing a number is a huge step
- Battery is very quickly empty - I don't use my bb more than usual. SO that is really weird
and finally
- if I would like to do a phone call I have to RESTORE MY CONNECTIONS because the Radio is off. (If i don't do it- nothing is working, no internet...
Is it possible that it has do with my Apps, lately I have downloaded WhatsApp...-I assume, that is the time where the trouble began!
Please let me know if you have any advice for me!!!!
THANK YOU

I just got an iPod touch, it was fine with battery life before I added Apps but now the battery doesn't last more than a night, what should I do?

I just got an ipod touch from my sister yesterday which she has had since October. The battery life went for days with her but as soon as I started checking my email and adding apps the battery doesn't last more than a couple of hours. I deleted some apps but no change. I also kept my email logged in and my notifications turned on so I'm wondering if they are part of the problem. Please let me know what I should do. Thank you so much.

Yes, notifications are part of the problem. For more information look at at the previous posts on this problem. Yu can find some of those on the right hand side of this page under the heading: More Like This. I keep mine in airplane mode when asleep.

Why does the Battery life of my iPhone 4 doesn't last as long as it used to before updating my software to iOS 6? Can this problem be fixed?

Hey there,
I have upgraded the iOS on my iPhone 4 to the iOS 6 and now my battery life doesn't last as long as it use to. I read something about Safari syncing some currupted bookmarks and whatnot. I basically need to know how could I fix this problem. I know that the iphone needs to have a decent perfomance regarding the battery life, since I've had it for less than 6 months now.
Any help will be appreciated!

Since updating to ios7 my ipad freezes, randomly zooms in and out, black pages that take forever to load and battery charge doesn't last very long. It's very frustrating, is there anything I can do it seems to have a mind of its own

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

Hi everyone i have just bought new Ipod touch 32 GB and upgraded to 5.0.1 and it it worse now my battery doesn't last long for more then hvvour. what should i do?

Hi everyone,
I have just bought new Ipod touch 32 GB and upgraded to 5.0.1 and it it worse now my battery doesn't last for more then two hour.
what should i do? it is seriously big problem.
Please help me.......

This is a general comment, not directed to anyone, and not to be taken personally by anyone. This ongoing screw up with the new upgrade (5.0.1) is getting to be a **** SHAME. In no way can APPLE or anyone else for that matter not know by now that the upgrade is terribly flawed. The Ipod machines themselves are super great products, and I enjoy mine to the max. However the upgrade once applied ruins it. And at least, not to my current knowledge, there haven't been any fixes forcoming.
In my opinion Apple should own up to that fact and warn folks that, even though the upgrade was presented with the best intentions, IT JUST AIN"T WORKING. And not to download it until further notice. This noticication could be done through the retail sales outlet, online, what ever.
I liken this to a pharmaceutical coming out with a new vaccine, encourage everyone to use it, then discover it's bad to the degree it causes it uses to become sick. Rather then pull the vaccine they keep on allowing unsuspecting ones to continue to vaccinate, and become sick. What a shame!

Would a Top Case keyboard replacement for Macbook Unibody A1342 (US version), be compatible w/my Macbook if originally it had a Japanese version?

I bought a Macbook Unibody back in 2010, and until now the system is still working perfectly fine, probably because I keep on updating my software version, currently I am on Mac OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)...I don't have issues with it.
I bought this Macbook in Japan, the keyboard version is on Japanese (with US alphabets) becaue I was studying Kanji back then, and apparently I am now living here in the Philippines and some of my keyboard keys are lost and they were taken off by my naughty niece (LOL, couldn't blame her though... she's just 2 years old)... now I am looking for a replacement. I couldn't find Japanese version of Top Case replacements here in Manila... now I kinda realized I might as well use a US version moving forward.
Now my question is re: Top Case keyboard replacement for Macbook Unibody A1342 (US version), would it be compatible w/my Macbook if originally it had a Japanese version?
Thanks in advance for all the help & informations. I would really appreciate it before I buy a replacement.
Have a good one guys! ^_^)Y

but it has been dropped a bit.
Translation - It has been dropped multiple times.
All the problems are likely related. Better get it to an Apple service rep and be aware that any warranty does not cover abuse of the product.

I cannot authorize my new computer in iTunes because I hit the 5 device limit. However, I cannot deauthorize the old one because it's gone. I also cannot use the deauthorize all computers button because I did last year when I was replacing computers. Is there any other way of deauthorizing computers that no longer exist?

If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five,
(Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)
Then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time..

You will have to sync it to the new one, erasing the current content from the ipod and replacing it with the content from the new drive.
Make sure you have copied everything from your backup copy of your computer back to the new drive first.

I sort my booksmarks (A-Z) but that sort doesn't last very long. It seems like the sorting process I go through doesn't get "saved." Thoughts? Thanks, Scott

How are you sorting the bookmarks?
The Views menu in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) is for displaying the bookmarks in different sorting orders (hence the name Views) and doesn't sort bookmarks permanently.<br />
In Firefox the option to sort bookmarks is only available for folders and not for individual bookmarks.<br />
Right-click a folder to open the context menu and choose "Sort By Name" in the left pane of the Bookmarks Manager or in the side bar to sort the bookmarks alphabetically or drag bookmarks to the wanted position.<br />
If dragging doesn't work then use Cut and Paste instead.
