Why is my battery draining so quickly after updating to Mavericks?

1. Check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
2. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.9 or later.
3. You can also try resetting the SMC.
4. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
5. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

Why does my battery die so quickly after updating to iOS 6.0.2 on the iPhone 5!?

Is there a fix to this or do we have to wait for the next update? My iPhone has become a useless 2-hour-running brick in my pocket...

Yes, my battery is draining quickly and recharging slowly. Search is extremely slow, aol email won't work. Kindle app all messed up, lost all on device but have it backed up on amazon. I have slowly been discovering all that is wrong since Sunday's debacle of an update. Apple deleted a post siting improper just because i told the truth. They can delete all they want but this is one screwed up mess and they are desperate.

Why is my battery drained so quickly on my 4S?

Why is my battery drained so quickly on my 4S, even though I don't use apps/Internet excessively. It says it should last 6 hours using the Internet.

I had my iPhone use 20% of power an hour before I did the following.
1.) Turn off iAds and diagnostics in location settings:system settings.
2.) Turn off Calender in Notifications
3.) If you have any exchange mail accounts ( I had 3 Gooogle accounts one set for mail and calendar, 2 set for mail only. remember when setting Google server m.google.com or it won't push to the phone.) delete them REBOOT your iPhone then redo them then Reboot one more time.
Result: iPhone batt usage is now 4% an hour. my phone went for 19 hours with moderate (streaming, surfing, recording and viewing movies on camera app) on wifi use before getting to 5%

What kind of ipad mini / ipad 2 you got?
AFAIK,
1. ipads drain battery with 3g/4g on (regardless on wifi or not) 1% overnight.. so for 7 days .. 65 is about correct.
2. Are your ipads setup to receive remote push notification? (more push = more battery drain.. as the screen lit up)
3. With iOS 6 vs iOS 4 .. there are more stuff running in the background and more toggles.. that could also contribute to battery drain.

Battery Draining Very Fast after Updating 7.1.1 ... And after switching Off Location Service.,Siri.,and 3G

My Battery Draining Very Fast after Updateing 7.1.1

Your device might keep syncing your Emails, Contacts and some other applications.
Reboot your device in this manner, when the device On, connect to the wall outlet charger and remove the battery. Leave it for 30 minutes then reinsert. You may need to do it once a day, until the issues solved. Reboot in this manner will fix any incorrect battery meter and similar apps error.

My battery drains really quickly after upgrading to OS X Yosemite

I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite.   After doing so, my battery drains VERY quickly. About 1 percent per minute.   Is there any fix for this?   Can I roll back my OS?

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:

Why does my battery drain so quickly on iPhone 5s?

Has anyone else found his/her battery draining more quickly than normal. I can begin the day at 100% and within an hour be down to 70% or even less. Is it the iOS 7.1.1 update? The data and wi-fi settings are on, which is the same setup as I had before on the iPhone 5, which ran on iOS 6. That battery lasted as advertised. Anyone with similar problems? Solutions?

Why does my battery drain so quickly on my iphone 4s

My iphone 4s has started to drain the battery very very quickly only up to 3 hours life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can not have any apps on my phone any clues also my data seems to be eatten up rather quickly every month. Any quick fix??

Hi
I am having similar issues. Phone was fine but from Wednesday this week it drains flat in 4 hours. It's on 63% and was 100% 2 hours ago. I'm charging my phone 4-5 times a day. Is that normal? I don't think so.
I've turned notifications, alerts, wifi, 3G, location services all off but no difference made.
Is this a widespread issue for users or is it something apple have instigated or maybe it's an app with a fault?

Restore iPad to Factory Default; do not restore from backup. It may be the cause of the problem.

My iPad2 battery drains very quickly - why

My iPad2's battery drains very quickly - I have removed al Notifications; On my mail set up I have selected "Off" for fetch new data - It drains even while it is in sleep mode. I definitely don't get anywhere close to 10 hours of battery life. What else should I be doing?

IPod touch 5th generation battery drained and restored after app is closed

I got my iPod Touch 5th generation about a year ago. I noticed it has since had an issue on the battery life that I thought was common so I did not do anything about it.
The issue my iPod has is that whenever I use an app that requires immense energy to function, the battery drains real quick. But after I closed the app, the battery life fills up again like it has only used a little. Video recording especially drains the battery the most where after 10 minutes of recording, it pops up saying 20% battery left from fully charged and at one point it even shuts down itself. But when it was turned on, the battery life is still around 75%. Before it runs on iOS 8, the issue is more apparent although it still exist now with the latest update.
I did not know until just recently that I found out it is a big issue where I could not have a video recording that can last longer than 10 minutes or so. Is there anything I could do to solve this? Are there anyone else out there that has this sort of issue?

Hey Leowjowee-
I'm really sorry if I'm about to state the obvious, but have you tried fully resetting the iPod touch and setting it up like it's brand new?
It's a crappy answer, but sometimes these are device specific issues, and other times, it can happen just because the kinks haven't been worked out of a new upgrade. I work in consumer IT, and the first thing I would suggest to a client with this issue (especially after an upgrade from one version of the operating system to another), would be to restore (reset the iPod to factory specs) the iPod touch, set it up like the day I bought it, only with the upgraded operating system, and see if there's still an issue. Sometimes, doing an upgrade like you probably did to get from iOS 7 to iOS 8, where it keeps all your previous settings from the last operating system, can cause bugs in the new code.
Here's instructions for a reset: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
Keep in mind that this will completely erase any content you have on the iPod touch, so be careful to make sure you have a backup of the device before you do anything. You can back up your device to iCloud or your computer with these instructions: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203977
iOS 8 is brand new, and I'm sure Apple is working out the bugs - but these things happen...

Battery drains off quickly with micro SD card‎

Hi ,
   My battery drains off quickly with micro SD card. This problem started a few days back when all of a sudden my micro SD card got corrupted while my cell was connected to laptop with the USB cord. It all of a sudden displayed message that there is some issue with the micro SD card and it needs to be formated. Unwillingly i had to format my micros SD card, clearing all my data and then it worked fine for few days and again the same thing happened. When my cell was connected with my laptop, it showed the error message and asked for formating. So i did formating again and now i have stopped connecting my cell with laptop. After battery problem started and battery is draining off in just few hours. I think maximum 5 hours without using cell much.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I think I'd remove the Media Card, first off, and see how it goes without.
