Why do mouse batteries only last 15 days, even when mouse is shut off whenever computer is off ?

I measured mouse battery lifetime using 2 sets of rechargeable batteries, as shown on the graph. The charge plummets after it reaches 50%. I believe that Apple should provide a free replacement wired mouse.

Yes, the Magic Mouse is a bit of a gas guzzler. I switched to using rechargeables rather than disposables - seemed like a good solution to me. Certainly wouldn't want to go back to a wired mouse.

We are building a movie in iMovie and that program has locked up. We cannot shut it down, even when we simply shut the whole computer down. Any suggestions?

We are building a movie in iMovie adn the program has locked up. It won't allow us to "quite" ... the wheel just keeps spinning. Thoughts?

Hi..
Command + Option + Esc will prompt the Force Quit window.
You can also force quit an app from your Apple menu top left in your screen or by using the Activity Monitor located in Applications/Utilities

Magic Mouse battery only lasts 30 days?

I bought my new 21" iMac back in October and today got a message from Magic Mouse that batteries need to be replaced.
What kind of battery life other folks are getting from MM? Is there anything can be done to increase battery life of MM?

Hi Kenichi Watanabe:
Would seem some Apple reference reported the Magic Mouse batteries should last four months. I've only found items that report the reference (have not located the reference itself). Clips below are cross posted, but if you search the Internet for the terms ["Magic Mouse" four months] (without the brackets), you'll find a whole series of early reviews and comments containing the same reference to four month battery life.
Perhaps inquire directly of Apple Care. Gizmodo's review (http://gizmodo.com/5386202/apple-magic-mouse-review ) relays a claim about the Magic Mouse battery life saying, "it's powered by two AA batteries, which get up to four months of use per charge, according to Apple."
Engadget's preview (link follows) included the same reference, the related headline read, "Apple's Magic Mouse: one button, multitouch gestures, Bluetooth, four-month battery life."
http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/apples-magic-mouse-multitouch-gestures-blueto oth-four-month/
Finding support for Gizmodo's reference ("according to Apple") and Engadget's headline may be a little more difficult. Perhaps I haven't read the press release carefully enough. Clip below, from that Apple press release:
"Apple Introduces Magic Mouse," press release, 20 Oct 2009, Apple.com (http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2009/10/20magicmouse.html : accessed 24 Nov 2009), in part, "Magic Mouse uses Bluetooth wireless capabilities to create a clean, cable-free desk top and its secure wireless connection works from up to 10 meters away. To extend battery performance, Magic Mouse includes an advanced power management system that works with Mac OS® X to automatically switch to low power modes during periods of inactivity. The wireless Magic Mouse is powered by two AA batteries which are included."
Hope this helps

My 5s batterie only last 30min to 40 min and phone getting quiet hot is that normal?

My 5s batterie only last 30 min to 40 min when is fully charge and phone getting quiet hot?

No, it is not a standard battery life, and is a common problem.
1. Reset phone (no data loss): Press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
2. Remove and reinstall Exchange and push IMAP email accounts
3. Restore in iTunes using a backup.
4. Restore as new

Can we recharge iPhones several times a day even when they are in 50%

Dear all,
Can we recharge iPhones several times a day even when they are in 50%?
Is it OK, if we leave iPhone plugged-in even when it is fully charged? I have heard that, we need to discharge battery completely at least once a month to improve the battery life. Is that right?
Thanks

Dear Farhad,
there is definitely two schools of thought about this, the conventional one is use phone until almost dead then full charge, however recent articles in macworld that frequent charges do no more harm to these batteries. i think the best advice is to use your phone and then charge it when it needs charging. Most phone batteries ae fairly tired after a couple of years anyway, regardless of how to charge.

My iPod show that my battery is receiving energy and that it is "charging," but it doesn't actually charge. The battery never increases; it only decreases. Even when I have it physically plugged in and charging, it loses battery whenever I am using an APp

My iPod shows that my battery is receiving energy and that it is "charging," but it doesn't actually charge. The battery never increases; it only decreases. Even when I have it physically plugged in and charging, it loses battery whenever I am using an APP or anything. I'm thinking that the chip that receives the energy is damaged or worn out. Is there anyway to fix it without going to the store? My USB chords is fine. It charges other iPods fine. Including a second generation iPod which means my 4th generation iPod should not have an physical battery problem. Any suggestions? Thank you so much!

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Why does safari show the last used page when the Ipad is turned on again

Why does Safari show the last used page when the IPad is next used?

Why do I get only a black screen when I try to download PDF files?

Why do I get only a black screen when I try to download PDF files? I have the latest version of Adobe Reader.
This problem just started a few weeks ago.
I am still using Snow Leopard.
I have tried using Firefox instead of Safari, but still get the black screen.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

My airport express never connects to the internet only flashes amber even when it's in the same room with the modem.

My airport express only flashes amber even when it's in the same room with the modem.
I want to set it up as a wi-Fi extender.

Your AirPort Express can only extend a wireless network provided by another Apple router if you want the network connection between them to be wireless.
What is the make & model of the wireless device that you are trying to extend with your Express?

My ipod touch wont turn on at all even when i connect it to my computer

So my ipod touch wont turn on at all even when i connect it to my computer! it was working fine then outta no where it wouldnt wanna turn back on. i tryed resetting but it doesn't do anything. Also when i put it on the charger it seems to get pretty hot...is the normal? help please...

There are two different causes of this, either it has been overheated, or the iPod just crashed. If it crashed, there is one simple step to fixing it. Letting the battery die. Do not connect to a charger port, or the device may get overheated, and need to be replaced. Once it dies, it normally will show the icon, that is needs to be charged. Once you charge it back up, it should go back to normal. If this doesn't help, then contact apple to the nearest store about getting a replacement.

Why is my battery life so short? Like one day, even when I'm not using it.

I've had this I phone only a little over a month and hardly used it at all. The battery is lasting a shorter and shorter time. Now it's down to about a day and a half, even when only on standby.

You say you've had the phone a little over a month, but your profile says it's an iPhone 3G. Did you mean 3Gs? The iPhone 3G came out in 2008 and hasn't been sold in over a year. If you got it used, it's entirely possible the battery is losing its ability to hold a charge. They can only take so many charge cycles.

Why do ipod touchs only last 1 year?

My best friend has as ipod and it's lasted for like two years now. I've had to buy 2 ipod's in the time she's had her's. Why arn't mine lasting as long as her's? I've heard somewhere that normal iPod touches only last 1 year.. WHY?? It's not like money grows off trees. And iPod touches arn't cheep either.. so please help. (FYI I'm having to buy my 3rd iPod touch now because my screen is all white. )

Maybe it's overheating from all the spellchecking it's required to do.
I've had mine 2.5 years and it still works great. Make sure you let the battery go real low once in a while and give it a nice full recharge. Make sure you don't drop it. Make sure you don't put it in water. Make sure you connect it to your Mac/PC once in a while, back it up, and restore it to original factory condition. the only issue I have is that the battery doesn't last as long as it used to, but it's still pretty good.

MacBook Pro will only last till 90% battery and then shuts down. Tried smc reset to no avail.

MacBook pro only lasts a few minutes on battery and then shuts down!

It varies. Some do not even last 1 year but others 4+ years.
Apple provides only 1year warranty.
Best.
