My battery reads that it is 100% charged. However, as soon as I unplug it, it dies instantly. The battery lights are still functional, and everything else is working fine! What's wrong with my battery?

Sounds like it may need to be replaced. Contact Apple.

What's wrong with my battery?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
In most cases, OS X tells you to replace the battery when its capacity is below 80%. This is the reason why you see a message telling you to replace the battery.
It is up to you to get the battery replaced or not. If you want to get it replaced, you need to take the Mac to an Apple Store, and the battery replacement will costs $129 + labour. You can replace it yourself by buying the battery online. Also, if your Mac is in warranty, the battery replacement is free.
To be fair, your battery capacity is lower than it should be after 420 cycles, more when Apple says their batteries should have 80% of their capacity after 1000 cycles. See > http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html

Idk I think its been a year in an half since I known about it being disabled. What do I do? Im scared to restore it because I dont want to lose my stuff.

You have to restore and thus erase your iPod. that is how it works.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Photos
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:

Problems with ipod battery life AND new software

First of all, I'm not 100% sure if my ipod is fifth generation... it's a 30 GB and I've had it since December 2006. This just seemed to be the only category it fit into.
But here we go: I have two major problems with my ipod that have arisen in only a period of a couple days.
First of all, my battery life suddenly got REALLY REALLY bad. I know there are already a bunch of threads with people complaining about their battery life, but mine is much worse. The battery life did progressively get a little worse over the past few weeks, but it was nothing major. But I turned my ipod on the other day, RIGHT after fully charging it, mind you, and within 2-3 minutes the battery was halfway discharged and in about 5 minutes it was almost dead.
And a couple of times, I had my ipod plugged into my iBook to charge, and the iBook went into sleep mode because I left it alone for a while. But after a couple hours I came back and the battery level was LOWER than when I plugged it in!!!! What's going on with this thing?
And then to make matters worse, I finally broke down and downloaded the new ipod software the other day (sorry I can't remember the version, but it's the most recent). Everything seemed OK until I turned on my ipod the next day. With the old software, when I would select "Music>" and then "Artists>" it would go to the list of artists like it's SUPPOSED to.
But now, when I select "Artists>" it then goes to a list entitled "Artists" and my ONLY option is "All>". If I click "All>" then it takes me to a second list called "All Albums" and my only option again is "All>". When I click it again, it takes me to a list called "All Songs" with NOTHING in it. At first, I was afraid the update had deleted all the music off my ipod, but I plugged it back into my computer and according to iTunes, everything was still there as if nothing had happened.
Is there anything I can do to remedy either of these problems? I am so frustrated with this thing, considering both of these things happened rather suddenly and the fact that my ipod is not even a year old and it's not like I've been abusing it or anything.

I've had both exact problems (listed below) within days of each other just like you. This is extremely effing frustrating and it appears Apple isn't doing sh|t about it.
Problem 1: Battery constantly discharges even when ipod is turned off.
Problem 2: After upgrading firmware to 1.2.2, all my content (songs, podcasts, everything) was gone.
I'm glad to say I was able to fix problem 2 after reading about reverting back to version 1.2.1. There are instructions in this forum on how to do it. If you are like me, you'll have to download the 1.2.1 files from Apple's website because they were no longer on my computer.
This dieing/dead battery problem is a major effing pain in the a$$. Like you say, the effing thing is dead after minutes. The only way it can be used for any length of time is to leave it plugged in to a charger.
No one seems to have a solution which is even more upsetting than the problem. Hey Apple, I want my money back!

What is wrong with my battery?

What is wrong with it? I have nothing open, other than this one app. It is only a month old, and Mountain Lion seems to have made it this way?

Only 3:20 of battery life?

1. If the computer is on, turn it off.
2. Reset the power manager by simultaneously pressing and then releasing Shift-Control-Option-Power on the keyboard. Do not press the fn (Function) key while using this combination of keystrokes.
3. Wait 5 seconds.
4. Press the Power button to restart the computer.
I followed these directions, but the computer turned on when I initially pressed the power button while holding Option, Shift, and Control, so I don't know if it worked properly or not. I'm currently letting my battery drain, though.

What's up with my battery?

I have an HP G71 with a fairly new battery. The original battery I had for this thing died, and I had to spend a good $300 replacing it from HP. After replacing it, everything went fine, until I begin to realize that it was plugged in, not charging. I ran a battery check and it said I had to replace it. Like I said, this battery is only about 2-3 months old, and was suposed to last twice as long as a normal battery. What's up with that? I don't have the money to go buy a new battery, and I just bought this one.
Failure ID: REOOW

First and foremost, be aware that these batteries have a very definite life to them, based on the quantity of full recharge cycles. From what I've seen in the forums, "normal" use will kill a battery in about eighteen months.
If you're in warranty, a battery replacement is, of course, free. The out-of-warranty cost is $60.

What is up with this garbage battery u put on my phone what the f____

just an addition.

When using power adapter, what to do with the battery?

Hi,
I own a macbook (mid july 07 model). Most of the time (99%) my macbook is on my desktop and the power adapter is plugged in. I am wondering in my senario, is it better to leave the battery in or out? I understand that there will be performances differences but I can live with the fall in performance when the battery is out, as I don't run heavy apps. Would't it be battery for the battery if I leave it 50% charged and tucked away? I read it from the apple website that if you don't intend to use the battery for 6 mths, its better to do it this way. However, I read the other post in this forum (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4883352&#4883352) and people suggested to leave the battery in as it doesn't make much of a difference. This kind of left me hanging, in or out? What do you guys do with your batteries? Care to share some experiences? or advise? Thanks.

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.

Sync troubles with ipod classic 80 GB Itunes 9.0.3 and mac OS X 10.4.11

Hey,
Since very recently I can't seem to sync my Ipod anymore.
Basically It syncs and I get the message sync is complete but the recently added audiobook isn't on my Ipod and the movies that were on there but are now delete from the library are still on the Ipod. Same goes for the newly added music, it's just not on there?!
I tried: upgrading Itunes, resetting Ipod using control+menu, I tried restoring it to factory settings, I tried pretty much everything (I THINK)
Can someone please help me? you can contact me via stijnvth@gmail(DOT)com

I Have a similar problem after the last update to the iTunes 9.0.3, in my case my iPod (30Gb 2005with Video) keeping restarting and crash on the apple logo point , pressing play + enter for a few seconds it make it go to disk mode, the iTunes recognized it, i used the "disk utility" just to make sure if wasn't a HDD problem and wasn't there , now I'm just waiting to get some juice on the battery to start a few tests. But the "Do not disconnect" symbol is black now instead of red.....
In your case , if some how you are syncing your iPod with 2 different iTunes library (2 computers) this problem can happen , some people iPods get similar problems when using a different software to back up the music from the iPod to the computer, if already you reset it to the factory settings and is not working , please check if your iPod music folder is not been shared with the windows media Player,(if you are using windows) if it is in the WMP option menu select to not overwrite or update the files on the music folder, some friends had a similar problem the files written via the WMP, can be played in the iTunes , but for so how it can not be copied into the ipod, they use the iTunes to manage music and sync with the iPod and the WMP to stream music from a PC via the X-Box360, PS3 or some other "DLMA"(Or something with similar letters) compatible device .
If you could try to Sync this iPod on a friend computer just as a test propose (i recommend the OS 10.5 or 10.6) maybe the problem is not in the iPod ...
Well good luck , still i have to fix my iPod here ......
Have a nice one ....

What's wrong with my code for comparing date retreived from db and sysdate?

Hi all,
I need to retrive date from the DB and compare it to system date.i have posted the code below.i get java.sql.SQL Exception:Io exception:Socket closed.
What's wrong with the code?please help me.Thanks in advance.
public boolean date() throws IOException, SQLException {
Connection con1;
long millis = System.currentTimeMillis();
Timestamp timestamp = new java.sql.Timestamp(millis);
ResultSet rs4 = null;
try
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@abc:1605:xyz",
"cdf", "cdf");
Statement stmt_exp = con.createStatement();
rs4 = stmt_exp.executeQuery("SELECT DATE FROM TABLE_NAME")
while (rs4.next()) {
Timestamp timestamp2 = rs4.getTimestamp("expire_date");
con1.close();
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
finally
//ResultSet rs4 = null;
//Timestamp timestamp2;
Timestamp timestamp2 = rs4.getTimestamp("expire_date");
if (timestamp2.compareTo(timestamp) < 0) //sysdate < exp date
return true;
} else {
return false;
}

Didn't you understand what BalusC said? You're closing the connection and then trying to use the ResultSet. The ResultSet will be closed when you close the connection so you can't use it anymore.
You should close the connection last thing in your code, probably in a finally. And after you close your ResultSet and Statement.

I've had my iPhone for just about 1 month and within the last two days the battery life seems to deplete in minutes and the phone gets warm to hot within 5 minutes of use. Does anyone having this issue?

This is very upsetting . This product seems to be very poorly made for the big bucks they are getting for these phones.

Literal minutes? Or is that an over exaggeration? If you do mean minutes, and the device is getting hot, it would be an obvious hardware issue. Take it to an Apple Retail Store or call AppleCare. If you want to try to troubleshoot the issue, refer to http://www.apple.com/au/batteries/iphone.html to turn off some of the irrelevant settings. This is obviously not an issue with every iPhone and it appears you've just had some bad luck.

What's append with LENOVO battery ?

Hi, i use a 7,8 Ah on my T61p.
The battery as 86 % of nominal capability and 120 cycles.
A day after working, the battery won't charge : battery error and fast amber blinking.
I discharged it completely, same thing.
After few days, i can charge it and now it seems to work;
My friend with the same material, have the same problem : good battery but a day, battery error and finished. Good for the garbage. Two battery in 18 months do the same thing !
All the batteries were in good conditions before this failure.
What's happened ? Lenovo batteries are expensive toys ?

Abouladfia,
If the protection circuit opens due to cell imbalance, a short, or other fault detected within the battery pack, the system will recognize the remaining charge level of the battery, but will neither charge nor discharge the battery further - it is electrically disconnected.
I have not seen a battery in this state, able to be recovered for use, so I'm perplexed when you say it worked again after letting it sit several days.
Many times, the batteries will not slowly degrade as one would expect, and will appear fine one day and have the protection circuit trigger the next. I have personally experienced this on a tablet battery I have.
I'm not sure what part number you have - you might check the support site to see if your battery is covered by this extended service program.
Hopfully, you have one of these batteries.

Mark

Anyone guess what is wrong with this battery issue?

A couple of weeks ago I noticed something unusual... it showed "not charging" in the indicator instead of a percentage... I just never seen it show up like that but it was shown that way at 93%...so I wasn't too worried. I was told to calibrated my battery. Before I calibrated my battery I let it drop down to 85% and it wouldn't recharge at all until after a while and it did start to charge, although slowly and not consistently (went from green to orange). Then I let it drain all the way and it recharged up fine and showed the steady orange. I noticed when I would use it since then it'd never show it recharging back up like it used to ("trickle")... but when I put my computer to sleep and woke it up I noticed it had recharged and whatnot. Maybe I didn't calibrate it right? I don't think I let it sleep for 5 hours. But I'm not sure if that will even fix the problem. I cleaned the magsafe adapter and the connector just in case but I don't think a dirty adapter is the problem. Something makes me think something's wrong with the logic board or battery? Am I jumping to conclusions? I didn't touch the computer after last Sunday and when I woke the computer up on Wednesday it showed "Not Charging" at 82%...I let it drop to 75% and it still says not charging with a green light. Great. I don't know what to do...I think mine is a built in battery MBP so I don't even know how to check it. I've only had this computer for 17 months. Should I trust local repairs to look at my computer? I don't really have a lot to spend... I have never been mobile with it so it's fine as a desktop but it's not ideal, especially if you were to lose it if you were working on it. I've already tried the SMC and it did nothing...unless I didn't do it right... anyone else know what I could do to try to fix the problem on my own? I'm worried about recalibrating it and it not charging back up, probably won't happen but it's in the back of my mind of constant worry.
Here's my info:

Ok here are my recommendations for your consideration:
Goto the “apple “on your top menu bar. Click 1stoption (About this Mac) a small screen will appear
andclick on “More Info...which will take to a large another smallscreen with Mac Book Pro in huge
letterslike this: MacBookPro.
Nextgo the “Systems Report” button: press.
NextUnder “Hardware” on the left you'll see “Power” click that.Volia the battery info
Nowlets do an analysis of the info: here's mine a 2 mo. Old 17” MBP:
ModelInformation:
SerialNumber:     ****************** (not shown by me)
Manufacturer:     DP
DeviceName:     ******************(not shown by me)
PackLot Code:     0
PCBLot Code:     0
FirmwareVersion:     406
HardwareRevision:     1
CellRevision:     1102
ChargeInformation:

FullyCharged:     No

FullCharge Capacity (mAh):     8488
HealthInformation:
CycleCount:     17
Condition:     Normal
BatteryInstalled:     Yes
Amperage(mA):     2131
Voltage(mV):     12534
OK under“Charge Information” you see my MBP currently at 7806mAh (mstands Milli
which is 10 tothe -3 power) which translates to 7.806 Amp hours in non-techiespeak. As you see on mine Full Charge Capacity is 8.488 Amp hours.
Ok under healthyou see my cycle count is 17. Your very low cycle count 31 reflects that you are not “conditioning” your battery by runningit on battery till 5 minute warning or going to sleep and then fullyrecharging it! You've had it ~18 mo. And your dooming your battery to a short life.
Condition your battery for a long life.
Please notethis is a super battery 2.131 Amps @ 12.534Volts which Apple sayswill last 7 hours. Real world experience is significantly less withLion OS installed.
