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.
my mac ibook g4 battery won't fully charge
my mac ibook g4 battery won't fully charge? There was a series of buttons to press something like shift-apple button- hold them down then press the on button or something like that, but I can't remember what it was to reset the batter so it will fully charge...
Thanks

My macbook pro battery will not hold charge
My macbook pro battery will not charge. The laptop will only turn on after it has been plugged in to charge, and when unplugged it automatically dies. When plugged in the battery indicator is green and the top right corner of the screen says "Not charging". I left town for a week with the laptop off and I came back in town and it won't charge. What can I do to fix this?
Macbook Air won't restart until I disconnect the battery
I have a mid 2011 13 inch Macbook Air. If I shut down the computer it will not restart unless I open the bottom panel and disconnect the battery for several seconds. The battery is fully charged. Reseting SMC did not help. After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, the laptop will start up fine and work until it is shut down again.
Any ideas what the problem/solution is?

Apple Support: Distressing under performance on simple questions: new iPod Shuffle battery never gets charged.
New in the mail the other day: iPod Shuffle. Works great, except it has never indicated that the battery is charged (orange lamp continuously blinks.) Should I send it back? Simple enough question right?
So I go to the Support site, enter a ticke with my Apple ID and the S/N of my new device, express via choosers that it's a battery issue ... but there is no ability to even say what I did above just now.
Of the support alternatvies, I schedule a call. The phone call came over 30 minutes later than was scheduled. And then! The operator didn't have the information that I'd taken time to enter in to the webforms -- critically, the S/N, etc. I expressed a bit of frustration, we ended the call after I'd recited as much as she could take notes for. Later I get an email from her (bless her spirit!) ... with all of the links I read BEFORE going to effort of filling the support documents out and scheduling the call.
I'm really wierded out by this. APPLE COMPUTER -- THIS IS BABY FOOD BASIC CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT!
So, do I send the little stinker back or just live with having purchased a defective device from a company incapable of supporting it?!!!!
5th Gen Ipod Shuffle Battery Issue
So i just recently purchased a 5th gen ipod shuffle, but im having a major issue with the battery.
The first day i took it to work, it was fine. Used it for 6 hours or so and the battery was at 75% (so the voiceover said). I charged it, then I took it in the next day, and it wouldn't even turn on, so i charged it when i got home on the computer. Through the night, I plugged the cord into the usb wall adapter i got with my ipad.
Took it into work and after a couple hours, it said that the battery was low, but was still working. Tried it again a few hours later, and it wouldn't even turn on. Tried it again 20 minutes later, and it worked, and had 75% charge
It can get fairly warm at my work, but nothing above 76 fahrenheit (the max recommended operating temp). Do I have a faulty ipod? or is this a well known issue?
Thanks,
Blaine
If I'm listening to a book on a 4th gen shuffle, any idea on how long a battery charge will last?
If I'm listening to a book on a 4th gen shuffle, any idea on how long a batery charge wil last?
Why is my battery losing charge when I don't use my shuffle for a while?
And One of the last times I used it on a backpacking trip I ran it down to no charge left then it would not charge useing the portable charger I bought. It's really frustrating since I mainly use it for extended backpacking trips and need to be able to charge it with a portable charger.
iPod Touch 5th generation battery on ios 7
I have a iPod touch 5th generation (space grey it came with ios 7) and I was just wondering what the average battery life is. Mine seems to be setting the trend of 4-4 1/2 hours (playing games), and about 7 hours using music, streaming, and browsing. Is this about the average?
My ipod 4g is stuck at the battery with a lightning bolt underneath and won't charge
My iPod died about a month ago, and I waiting. I tried charging it with almost everything I could. I plugged it into the wall, computer, etc..
To make this easier, my iPod is not jailbroken and the home button fell off and I had a feeling it had to do with the orange chip underneath the home button being loose, but that's not what other people who experienced the same thing as me had.
I tried pressing the power button, holding the power button. I can't use the home button since it is broken. I always used Assisitive Touch.
I tried pressing the power button over and over. I left the iPod in each section I charged it at for at least a night, hoping that in the morning it would turn on again.
Because it won't turn on, my iPod won't register in itunes so I can't restore it or recover it in any way that I know of without using itunes or the home button.
I eventually gave up on it and recently came back to my iPod, wanting to use it again.
iPod 5th Generation Battery Concern
I recently upgraded from an old 2nd generation iPod Touch to a 5th Generation. I immediately installed Battery Doctor (which I used on my old iPod) and proceeded to have a good charging policy. I upgraded to iOS 7 and installed all my old apps/data. I use it infrequently, maybe once or twice a day and it seems like everytime I go to use it, it is dead.
Following instructions on Battery Doctor and also online, I have disable WiFi, Location Services, Bluetooth, Notification Center, Dynamic Backgrounds, Control Center, Background Searching and anything else that could be using battery. Even after all this, if I fully charge the battery and leave the iPod for longer than overnight, it is dead. I get the red battery symbol and have to plug it in to use it. I've heard that iOS 7 is battery hungry, but this seems crazy.
So, to try and keep the iPod available to use whenever I want, I started turning it off completely. So after fully charging it, I turned in off and came back to it after 24 hours to find it completely dead. How can the battery be exhausted after being turned off?
I assume that I must have a faulty battery because this behaviour just seems completely abnormal and ridiculous. Considering I could come back to my old 2nd generation iPod after nearly a week (with Wifi turned off) and it would still be up and running.
It was only purchased back in September and Argos say that it must be sent off to Apple to confirm the problem before issuing a replacement. I just want to confirm that this is abnormal before I proceed, because I definately don't want a replacement if the battery is this bad? Expecially considering how dissapointed I was by the lack of dual cameras.
What kind of battery life do other 5th generation users get out of theirs?
Thanks for any help.
Dave
