Why is the battery blinking?
I have an iBook G3 600 running Tiger. I have a battery that won't charge, and when the button is pressed, only one light goes on, and it blinks. That means it's toast. No mystery.
But I have another one, an Apple brand also, that charges properly, but when the button is pressed, all four lights go on and blink. What does that signify? (I also have one that charges and behaves as expected, and Newer Technology one that is fine.)
All four lights lighting up is simply an indication that it is fully charged. I'm not sure about the flashing, though. They should just remain lit for a few seconds after pressing the test button.

HT1476 why does the battery usage percentage not available in ios5.1.1???
why does the battery usage percentage not available in ios5.1.1???
and why is clock not available on ipad????Because that is a decision the Apple made. You can get the battery percentage (within 5%) by using a free app such as BatteryLife Lite, but it will not show the percentage on the top of your screen.

Why is the battery meter so annoyin?
Ok heres the thin, i got my 5g black 30gig ipod two weeks ago...everythin was fine, until after the first full charge i noticed after about an hour of music the battery meter was down to 3/4 of a charge and kept goin down dramatically, after reading some of the disscussions i did the update and charged it untill it said full, so then after about 4 1/2 hours its in the red, so obviously it still goes down quite fast, to calibrate it at the moment by runnin it till dead, so has anybody else had this problem, and what happened to you....another thing what is the best way to charge it...through an ac adapter or computer.
ok...using my ipod normally (between .5 and 1 hour a day right now) the battery lasted about 8 hours....so it ran for 3.5 hours in the red...this is really dissapointing although it says that it will run 8-12 hours, but also realizing that was the first time doin a charge discharge cycle to try and calibrate it but after charging it the meter is doin the exact same thing...after fully chargin it, the second i start playin music the meter goes down...now the backlight timer is 2 seconds, the eq is off, and the library is on shuffle...and i only change songs once in a while...so why am i only gettin 8 hours?

Why is the battery replacement so expensive?
I just bought my 15 GB ipod used a coupla weeks ago, and I thought I was getting a decent price. Now the battery appears to have died and I've found out that Apple used some really cheap, crappy batteries in the earlier ipod's and that this is a known issue. So, now I have to pay more for a replacement battery to Canada than I paid for the actual ipod? I wish I'd known this before buying the thing. I sure won't be recommending anyone else to buy them. Not when I have to pay for a substandard part just because it's not under it's one-year waranty anymore. Not very impressive start to my buying Apple products.
433 CPU Windows 98Just in case anyone is still following for some strange reason....
First, I wish that I had found that second url first. Their packs are better because they come with the tool that helps to prevent damage when opening the case. My case is pretty bent and scratched up now. I'm sure someone more experienced would have been graceful, but...I'd definitely recommend the other sets for inexperienced dorks like me.
But now it doesn't even matter what condition the case is in, cause the actual unit seems to be hooped. When I first replaced the battery the ipod would turn on and show the same uncharged battery icon, so I figured that it just needed to charge. I was just so happy that it still worked after opening it. But now aftr getting home from work, during which the ipod was charging, the thing won't even turn on anymore. And since I craked it myself, there's zero recourse.
I wish I had just spent the $93 to send it to Apple. Maybe then this wouldn't have happened or I would have received a refurbished ipod as a replacement. But why did it have to be so stinking complicated to begin with?
What a waste of money. And so depressing. I bought this to help with a crappy long-hour job.

i want to be informed!
- Only Apple know why they di not enble the NT gestures. It is against the terms of this forum to speculate on such things.
- I have heard that Apple will release an update to fix the battery drain issue in a few weeks. -
Have 2 month old Touch 4th Gen why is the battery life so bad?
Hi everyone,
I have a 2 month old 4th gen Touch and find that the battery life is very bad. My 2nd gen Touch still works and I've had that since it was released (and I understand why the battery isn't so good on that anymore). Ever since I've had this I have to charge it at least once a day, thought I had heard that the battery life on the 4th gen was never good to begin with but this does seem very frustrating. I admit that I tend to use my Touchto play games and use the Internet. I always turn off Wi-FI when not on the Internet and I turn off push notifications and watch out for the brightness as well. I have IOS 5.1 but was wondering what other people think about the battery. I know I'm still under warranty but do not want to just get another touch if this will happen to any touch I would get as a replacement. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.How bad is "so bad?" You need to determine the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists. -

Why is the battery depleting when the iPad is not on?
Don't understand why the battery is constantly depleting while it's not in use! #neverusedtodothis
You want it on 'fetch' not push. Push means that mail is pushed out to your device at regular intervals. Fetch means that the program 'fetches' mail when you tell it to, usually when you open the app.
You can look in settings, general and turn off background app update and background app refresh if you want to.
You can also look in settings, notifications and see if you have notifications on that you dont' need. iOS7 defaults everything on that it possibly can but most people dont' need them. For example I could have about 20 things in my notifications, i use two.
If you want to shut down apps you're not using or wanting to run, double tap the home button. You'll see the app icons and a preview show up on your screen. Scroll sideways if needed to get to the ones you want to close, then flick that preview window up and off the screen to close the app. Once you've shut down all you want/need to, either single tap the home button or tap on the preview for your home screen to exit the mode. -
Why does the battery die before the power monitor puts the computer to sleep?
Used to be that the power monitor would sleep the computer safely, but lately that doesn't work. I imagine this is something to do with ageing of the battery - is there a way I can recalibrate this?
Thanks!Well, that explains why I thought it wasn't very useful. Let's try this:

Why does the Battery run down so fast?
Im a first time BB user And really need to know how long should the BB 8520 battery life last- I bought the phone 4 days ago And had to charge it twice since then.
I understand why the battery ran down the first 2 days- used the phone a lot to input data And load pictures, music..... But after the second charge I hardly used the phone( only received text message, phone calls ) I did no browsing, no facebook, no IM, didn't listen to music, didn't take any pictures, didn't receive any emails yet- my BIZ has not yet been activated.
This morning it was 100% And now its 70% - And as I said I only received And sent text messages (SMS) And phone calls
am I being silly And should I just expect that from BB.
And should I switch the phone off at night or just leave it in bed side mode?Dear friends from BlackBerry,
First, I´m sory for my bad english.
I live in Brazil and i have a blackberry curve 8520, my problem is the battery.
I try shut off all conections (the wifi, bluetooth, including the moblie phone conection), with the keyboard locked and the phone in stand-by, but the battery dies before the 5 hours (run down very fast).
I want to know how i fix it?
Thank for attentio and the help.

Only thing running on it is Chrome, and the battery life is only 3:38. Am I doing anything wrong?
It also depends upon what you are doing on Chrome. Video and flash will eat up battery life. You are probably doing nothing wrong.
You might open Activity Monitor and see what applications are taking a lot of CPU%. Make certain that you have selected 'All Processes".
Ciao.
