Why does "low battery" warning always come up when I start the iMac?

I've been getting a "low battery" warning lately when I turn on my computer. I've tried 3 sets of new AA batteries (bought from 3 different stores), but that doesn't seem to help. Of course it could be caused by the unlikely event that all three "new" battery packs were not fresh, but that's unlikely.

and you're talking about the mouse ... the keyboard ... ?
also, does the message vanish after a while? what does the battery indicator say?

  • Why does iTunes ask for me to login when I start the Application?

    I used to never have to enter my password right off the bat when I opened the iTunes program. Did an update start requiring this or did I mess with the settings. I tried clicking on on my account and resetting the warnings, but that didn't help. I also removed the preferences from my profile, but that didn't seem to help. Any advice??

    Hello,
    when I look for list.plist the directory
    arrow indicates there are files but no files show in
    the directory.
    Files named list.plist or files which name contains list.plist ?
    I have no file named list.plist since I trash the one I told before.
    Is this similar to the "hide system
    files" option in Windows? If so, how do I turn on
    the view to show the file? Thanks in advance...
    On Mac, if a file is hidden* there is a good reason... so don't try to make them visible except if you know exactly what you do !
    * In general, a file which name begins with a dot is invisible in Finder.

  • Why does my form data gets cleared out when clicking on the back button.

    Can someone explain why does my form selections get cleared out when clicking on the back button.
    I have a JSP page that displays a form with some selections and text boxes. I populate the page and submit the request. The action on the submit call another jsp page, which processes the data and displays the results via a <jsp:include> statement which calls the results page. When clicking on the back button from the results page, it returns me to the form page, but the selections are cleared out.
    1. Is there something in my calling of the pages that causes this behavior and can I prevent it?
    I notice that the behavior is different when using the IE 6.0 version Netscape 7.1. IE clears the page Netscape 7.1 retains the settings.
    If I cannot prevent this behavior does that mean I will have to save the state of the form data. And if I have to save the form data, what would be the easiest method of doing this. I'm a beginner to JSP and Java, but have some ASP experience. I don't understand why the back button in a JSP request clears the form data but a regular HTML page does not can someone explain?
    THANKS.

    the browser doesn't have to remember what you submitted and fill that back in.
    you can't prevent it unless you can ensure a new request to the server in which you can fill the default values in there.

  • Why does low resolution warning show when I used a high resolution camera

    Hi,
    I am just learning about iphoto, and have been uploading photos I took with a 4 mega-pixel camera. I have printed out photos at Kodak printers directly from the camera, and they came out great. However, when I upload the photos to the Mac, then burn them to a CD, and try to print them they come out blurry and have the low resolution warning. Does anyone know why that is happening? Is there a setting that decides the photo quality when pictures are uploaded?
    Are the photos I have now "doomed" to be at low resolution?
    Thanks

    The "share" function actually places a mini-library on the CD so that it can be loaded into another Mac that has iPhoto. Just like in your library, the CD will contain, for each photo, the original "out of the camera" version AND the most recently modified version AND a thumbnail for viewing within iPhoto. Apparently the thumbnail was the one that was inadvertently selected for printing and, of course, the resolution is minimal.
    If you want to burn a CD for use on a PC or to give to your favorite photo-finisher, create a folder on the desktop and "File/Export" the contents of the album to that folder. Then, EXIT iPhoto and burn the CD with the contents of the desktop folder. After checking the CD and confirming that all is OK, you can trash that folder.

  • Why does my audio quality drop big time when I use the compressor to compress my final cut studio project?

    Hi,
    When I'm working on a project, my audio sounds great but once I put my project though the compressor it looses it's volume big time when I play the DVD on a DVD player or computer. Where does the problem lie? How do I maintain the smae quailty of audio on the finished DVD?
    thanks in advance,
    Iki

    You'll need to duplicate the Dolby Digital preset then alter the duplicate so that the DialNorm setting is -31dbfs and the Compression is set to NONE. Use the new, custom preset to create an ac3 file with the same output levels you had in your FCP Sequence.

  • Why does my wireless keyboard always become disconnected then reconnected to the wifi all the time?

    So I have a brand new imac and the wireless keyboard always switches between connected and disconnected randomly.  I have another identical keyboard I bought a few months ago and it works fine.  Any energy saver functions that could be doing this?

    Same prob here. Brand new out of the box apple wireless keyboard with FULL batteries, bought after buying my newish Mac Mini w/o keyboard.
    ...keeps losing the connection from about 8 'line of sight' feet away (going through Tv to view Mac)
    Not sure why a properly working Mini would have to be forced to do an SMC/PRAM reset for something new off the shelf and supposedly working (works very nice with NO signal loss or early sleep with my samsung tab)...to have to do these resets seems very 'windows like' for every new peripheral you buy down the road.
    My guess would be that apple made the choice to tinker the .plist for wireless items put them to sleep in 30 secs or less to make the 'battery life' look longer for the new sales pitch. I would have preferred ALL ON, SLEEPLESS and a switch on the keyboard like the old days, but oh well.
    I thought I read somewhere from a geek level website that you can 'terminal' a longer sleep mode for Btooth items... anyone know which article I saw or know the terminal command?

    Hi DashyEdge,
    When you say you "changed my apple id", does that mean you renamed it to your new email address?
    See "How to change the name you use for your Apple ID"
    That is what you want to do so you still only have one Apple ID and it now has the new name and email.
    It sounds like you may have created a new Apple ID instead and started purchasing stuff with that.  Just because an old email address expires, doesn't mean the Apple ID it is based on goes away.  Apple IDs can't be deleted.  The only way for them to change is to rename them to a new "ID" (name/email).
    It is best to stay with only one Apple ID for purchases.  As you are seeing, Apps need to be updated with the ID they were purchased with. If you don't have many purchases with your new Apple ID, you might want to rename it to something else so you can rename your old ID to this new name (email).  Then stick with your old, but renamed ID.
    You don't remember the password for your old Apple ID?  Can you access your old Apple ID using the security questions instead of the email verification?

  • Why does my iPhone 4 lose 3G signal when plugged into the TV with the AV Adapter?

    When I plug in my iPhone 4 (Verizon) or my husband's iPhone 4 (AT&T) to watch Netflix, Netflix stalls and the 3G signal disappears. I have tried connecting the adapter both before and after entering the application. I believe the digital AV adapter and HDMI cable are fine, because I have no problem seeing output from my iPad 2. 
    When I plug in the adapter, the 3G signal will disappear shortly thereafter.  The red Netflix screen will appear on the TV, but 9 times out of 10 it will go no further.  One time it stayed on the red screen, but I heard the audio from the movie.  Another time it showed the movie for 10 seconds, then stopped.  When I unplug my iPhone, it will take a while to regain the 3G signal.

    I had the same issue in my 2012 Nissan Altima.  It was a function in my car's stero settings.  I had to go to the car's iPhone/iPod settings when the iPhone was plugged into the USB.  My settings come up automatically when I plug in and I can scroll through the commands to "Shuffle" songs.  Hope this helps.
