Macbook Air 2012 Hot, Constant Fan, Short battery life

I have a 2012 MacBook Air 11". i7 2.0 512gb 8gb. I've had it for 3 days. From the beginning it is very hot and the fan is running at what seems like top speed constantly. A fully charged battery lasts 1.5 hours for email, web, and MS office apps. It's like there is something running in the background that is sucking the battery fast. I don't notice any speed reduction but I'm not using anything very intesive.

I have used a 2011 macbook air 11" 1.8 256gb 4gb for the last year and typically got 3-4 hours of battery life. That computer didn't get this hot unless there were multiple apps running and some CPU intense processes like google earth or video rendering.

I've called apple support and their suggestion is to take it to the apple store. If there is a known problem and or solution that doesn't require a full day of driving and waiting that would be better.

Thanks in advance.

Brand new iPod touch 4th generation VERY short battery life.

So the other day I went in to replace my old iPod touch for a new one because the home button was getting stuck and wouldn't work. So everything worked fine and I got the new ipod. Well It's been a few days and I've noticed that the battery life on this ipod isn't long at all. It'll last me maybe 30 minutes of usage. I've done everything I can to try and save battery life and it kind of helps, but not really. When I got this new iPod, I restored it from a previous backup instead of setting it up as a new iPod. I've read that doing this is the number one reason for battery loss in new iPhones and iPods. Is this true??

What should I do? I'm guessing that the battery isn't bad because it's BRAND NEW! I was going to take it to Apple, but I'm not sure if they'd find anything wrong with it since it is a brand new battery. PLEASE HELP!

5th Gen. 32GB iPod Touch - Extremely Short Battery Life

I have a brand new 32GB iPod Touch 5th Generation that I purchased at the end of last December.  My issue is that the battery drains overnight: I fully charge it, listen to music for an hour, and then turn it off and go to sleep.  The next morning, the battery is absolutely empty: it can not turn on unless I plug it in because it has absolutely no energy.

 

I've done some research and have already tried several suggestions.  Airplane mode is on (so wifi and bluetooth are off), any applications (I have two besides those that came preloaded) have been removed from the notification center, the brightness is all the way down, and the multi-task bar is empty except for "Settings" and "Music".  I tried searching on my computer for an app to test average battery life and analyze if you need a new battery (this was another suggestions in this community) but couldn't find one.  I am at a loss.  I also do not think this should be a problem: I have a 32GB iPod Classic and an older, 32GB iPod Touch.  Both of these last overnight, turned off, on a single full charge.  They can also last a 6 hour trip.  I ordered this as a replacement only because both of those had the audio jacks wear out.  I'm going to feel a little jipped if a much smaller battery life is what I'll be paying for a newer, improved generation and operating system.

 

Does anyone have any advice or tips that I have not tried?  Thanks in advance for all your help.

macbook pro 17 (Late 2011) battery life seems short?

Hi all, I expected my new MacBook Pro 17 (late 2011 model) to have a better battery life than my old (early 2008) model because of newer technology and it has the built in batteries rather than the removable kind. But it appears to be worse ????

 

Just watching it running and downloading XCode (2G) with the displat at around 90% brightness, I looks like it's going to completely drain a 100% full battery in about 2-3 hours.

 

IS that right?

 

ciao

Derek
