X over battery icon, got new battery yesterday still won't go away

I brought my MacBook into the apple store yesterday because an X had shown up on my battery icon. They gave me a new battery because the old one had expanded and everything seemed to be working fine. This morning, I wake my computer up and the X is back over the battery and it says "no batteries available"--the same message that I was getting before. It works both plugged in a not, when I unplug the adapter, it still has the X and says no batteries available but also says power source: battery (talk about identity crisis!). I tried resetting the SMC and PRAM but the X is still there. After resetting the SMC, it says that it is charging the battery which has a 0% charge for about a minute before the X comes back. When you press the button on the battery, all of the lights light up.
What do I do?? Of course, my apple care expired literally a week ago so I'm SOL if there's anything major wrong.

Hello Sue,
Congratulations on your new iPhone 5c, and thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with Voice Memos.
The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Force an app to close

If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the Voice Memos app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I use picasa for my photos..currently there is a question mark imposed over the icon on the dock and it won't open...what does this mean?
Thanks for any help.

The icon in the dock is a shortcut to the app itself.....for some reason the icon has lost contact with the app.......go to your Applications folder and drag Picasa back to the dock....a new alias (shortcut) will be created.....

Not starting up - just got new battery

As of right now, my computer seems to be on, since I can turn the cap lock key on and off by the light of green. But the screen is blank, and the bottom slowly gets very warm. When it gets hot I just press the power button again and let it die in peace.
I started noticing problems yesterday when I shut my computer it would have to be turned on again, and some times it forgot my wireless password when it came back to life, or it was December, 1969.
All these problems started after I got my new battery from apple, turns out, who knows when, my orginal battery was recalled, and la de da, there was an exchange program. I got my battery on friday, and problems started on monday.
I got it kick started by pressing a series of buttons, alt,apple, shift and power which got it to make noises vs a little fan sound. Now the fan sound stays on for a bit as it gets warm. By recomendations of the boyfriend, it also kicks to life for T and power button, but still no screen.
at this point, I have accepted that I have had this computer for far too long and its about time for it to die.
SO, its on. I think, but blank screen and no start up sounds, just some wooshes and the cap lock key shows green. I get back to civilization on friday, currently in rural WI. I would like to keep it in its stupor state where it seems hopefull we can still firewall into it and collect my life.

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
When you get a new battery, normally you charge it all the way, then drain it, to condition the battery. You do this once or twice. Then you're all set with the battery.
When you think the system may be turned on, if you look real closely at the screen, can you see anything very faintly on the screen? Look carefully.
It sounds like you may several things going on. When you get back to civilization, your best bet may be to go to the local Apple shop, and see what the Genius suggests. If he says you need a new logic board, you'll want it shipped to the Apple depot, which will cost around $350, assuming the case isn't banged up. If they replace the logic board in the store it will cost over double that.

Just got new battery

Just got this battery a few weeks ago after my original one wouldnt hold a charge anymore. When the battery is not in the computer, the lights are all on but when installed in the computer it reads as this:
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 0
Fully charged: No
Charging: Yes
Full charge capacity (mAh): 1
Health Information:
Cycle count: 40
Condition: Check Battery
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): 280
Voltage (mV): 12594
Defective battery or something with my computer?

a minute after posting the charge read full and the adapter is green but when disconnected the computer goes into sleep mode. Why does my battery only have 1 mAh charge capacity?

ZenMicroPhoto 8gWouldn't hold charge.Got new battery.Still didn't wk.Now it's dead. =

Dearest Creative Gooroo; Here's my outcry..
My battery was not charging for some reason, so I bought a new one. I kept the mp3 off but charging (from the wall charger) until the new battery arri'ved. The new battery arri'ved and it still didn?t hold a charge. At one point you could see it read ?charging? then it stopped all together, now it'ss back to not holding a charge.. During the time it had a only a few depressing bars of life, I could only operate it ( mp3) while I was connected to my pc (yahoo music jukebox? or creative media source organizer via-usb) but as soon as I disconnected from ?life support? it would shut ?off automatically. Anyway, now it'ss completely dead. Nothing works on it and I?m missing my tunes badly. I can't figure out what to do. I gave up charging it back and forth between accessories and would very much love to just dissect it about now, BUT? I?m holding myself back! =)
Note: Both the battery and the wall charger are both creative.
Any advice will be <i>extremely</i> gratified.
Thanks my heroes!?
MEL

Battery not charging- new battery

Recently my laptop advised me to buy a replacement battery for it as it was unable to run without the charger plugged in.
I have bought the replacement battery, this is the advised one but is a 12 cell instead of the previous 6 cell.
Now I have swapped the battery over it won't charge. The laptop doesn't seem to acknowledge the charger is plugged in. The charger wire was working perfectly before the new battery so not sure what the problem is. Please help.

With the battery removed and the power adapter plugged in, does the power led light up and can you boot into Windows?

Zen Nano Plus - Used Battery vs. New Battery Prob

I downloaded some WMA files from Walmart.com and successfully transferred them to my Zen Nano Plus. They played fine. But the battery, which was already low on power, died. I switched in a new battery and tried playing WMA files, but they would only play for about three seconds before the mp3 player shut off.
I switched back in the old battery and the WMA files played just fine.
Both the old and new battery play the MP3 files, so there's no problem there.
Is the problem related to voltage or something? Please help.

Known issue, check [url="http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=40235&view=by_date _ascending&page=">this thread[/url].
No solution yet, I'm afraid.

X in the battery ICON of my battery.

I am having a problem where instead of the charge indicator appearing in the right hand corner of the battery icon, an X is being shown...Also, my battery is not fully charging and will only last on its' own for about 30 min...I know something is wrong...Does anyone know what the X represents and if there is way to solve this problem manually or if I need to take my MacBook into a service center for the 3rd time in the last 6 months...I thought that Macs were supposed to be more reliable...Glad I bought the 3 year warranty I guess...I can't believe that Mac would allow such a faulty product to be released into the public, especially in College campuses where I use this piece of machinery to take notes with day in and day out.

The X indicates that connection to the battery has been lost. Could be either a bad battery, bad connector or even a problem with the logic board.
Sometimes resetting the SMC will fix this:

Battery suddenly fails, new battery sees similar problem

A few weeks ago, my battery randomly dies. Went from getting a 4 hour charge to none, it would shut off as soon as I unplugged it. HP Support Assistant said I needed a new battery, with the error code of REEOW. So I purchased a brand new one, and it seemed to fix the problem. However, I started to realize it was only partially fixed...now, my laptop suddenly dies after short use. It will say 55% remaining battery left, according to the indicator, before just randomly dying. Plugging it back in, it suddenly says 0% remaining. Now, HP Support Assistant says once again I need a new battery, same error code of REEOW. I've only had this battery for two weeks. What the heck is going on?

Anybody?

My volume icon has been on my screen since yesterday, and won't go away! It is in the way of my reading! How do I get it to go away??

Hi there.. need some help with my iphone 4. I was using mapquest on a road trip yesterday, and the volume icon showed up on my screen, and now won't go away. The volume buttons work (increase/decrease volume), but the volume bar no longer corresponds to the increase/decrease in volume. I can't figure out how to make the volume icon go away. It is superimposed on other apps so it makes reading (e.g. mail, news) annoying since I have to read around the icon. Can someone give me some advice on what to do? Thanks!

Have you tried turning your phone off and back on?
Reset the phone hold the home button and the sleep button in until the phone turns off ignore the "slide to power off" message and keep holding the buttons, the phone will reboot

Got new battery, still won't turn on

Laptop wasn't turning on, figured it was the battery so go a replacement, put that in and it turned on. When I came back to the computer, it was already off again and now it's not turning on. Tried taking the battery out, unplugging the AC and holding button down for 15/20 seconds and every variation. Any more ideas?

Hi @Jvbacha89 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP 2000 Notebook and getting a blank screen on startup. Try performing a hard reset.
When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
Here is a link to computer won't start for Windows 8. Did you replace any of the hardware?
Have you tried a different walloutlet or a borrowing a different AC adapter?
Please let me know how this goes.
Thanks.

HT1435 very low battery warning..new battery..still reads same.have left plugged in for hours,nothing .?

Older 5th gen 30 gb. worked fine when i bought it used.was set up for mac before I received it. battery warning light came on..but wouldnt recharge. so I replaced the battery and still reads same messgae after repeatedly trying to charge it. ??

No, it does not matter if it was previously used with a Mac. That's just a matter of the hard drive disk format being used. It just gets reformatted during a Restore.
It sounds like the problem is more than just the battery not charging. At the very least, you need it to complete a Restore. Try putting into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
Optionally, shut down your computer and disconnect all of your USB devices. Start up with only standard keyboard and mouse connected.
Run iTunes and connect iPod to a direct USB on computer. If the iPod's battery is too low to put into Disk Mode while disconnected, connect it first, then try to put it into Disk Mode. If iTunes sees the iPod in Disk Mode, it may say something about "recovery" and prompt you to do a Restore.

Adobe Reader XI, Comments, Comment Dialog, when multiple paragraphs entered causes comment to rapidly flicker when mouse hovers over comment icon. Unreadable. Can still right click and open the icon to edit text. Windoes 8.1. Repeatable on two identic

Adobe Reader XI downloaded to my wife's laptop tonight. Windows 8.1. Open PDF, select Comments > comment dialog, then place icon on PDF and start editing. Small edits work fine. Large amounts of comment text, once you move off the icon and come back and hover over the comment icon, causes the full size comment window to flicker rapidly (5-10ms between on and off) until you move the mouse away from the icon. Unreadable. Tried on my identical model laptop and happens there too. What's going on?

The little red icon next to my mail app won't go away even though I already checked the new emails in my inbox. What do I do?

Please help.

Try a reset on the device. This will have no affect on your data. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.

Got new ipad but it won't accept my apple id and password

I have an Ipad 2 and am trying to get it to log into my icloud account that has another ipad on it. I have IOS8.1.3 on the Ipad 2 but keep getting the message that I have an unsupported Apple ID and that I must use an email address. The Ipad 3 works fine on icloud and I have used all the sign-in from it. What next?

Hello Mil1,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I understand you are getting an "unsupported Apple ID" error message when you try to sign in to your iCloud account. The following article has suggestions for troubleshooting iCloud issues. The following seems to address your issue:
I get an “Unsupported Apple ID” error when I try to sign in to iCloud from my iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Depending on how you created your Apple ID, you may not be able to create an iCloud account with your current Apple ID. If your Apple ID works with the iTunes Store, App Store, Game Center, FaceTime, or other Apple services, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. Also, if you created your Apple ID while you applied for a job at jobs.apple.com, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. If you can't use your Apple ID with any Apple services, it might not be compatible with iCloud. Contact iCloud Support for assistance.
