Re: Battery life is horrible after iOS 6.1.3 update

I suggest the following:

1. Restore as a new device, then put back your apps, music, etc.

2. Get System Activity Monitor and see if there is a runaway process that is sucking up the CPU.  For an iPad 2, normal CPU usage should be about 3%

Macbook pro cooling fan runs continuously after software update


I updated Mountain Lion last night (Mar 15, 2013). I forgot the version number, but it was 10.8.? I think.


After restarting the computer this morning, the cooling fan suddenly shot up, making crazy noise. It didn't come back, so I had to turn the computer off with physical switch. While the fan was running, battery was draining so fast. I began with 100%, but went to 65% in 45 minutes. Such thing never happened before. I did not run the computer with complicated Apps when it happened. I was using Safari and Logos Bible software. Does it have anything to do with the new software?



It is quiet right now, after restarting. I paid more than $2k for this computer last fall. Didn't have any problems yet. But it happened all of a sudden. Anyone has any idea??

MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.6 DIDN'T solve my battery issue.

About two weeks ago I opened my MacBook Pro in the morning to find it was off. I left it on overnight and up until that morning it was still holding a very good charge for being 2.5 years old (could still get ~4 hours web browsing). When I plugged my charger in it only showed a green light. When everything was turned on and loaded I looked at my battery icon and it said (and still does say) 0% charged, not charging, replace now. I know my battery isn't holding as much a charge as before, I had it checked back in August and it was still holding 83%.

 

When the recent firmware update came out I thought it would solve the problem because the patch described exactly what my problem was. My charge cycle is at 1060 right now. After I installed the update there was no change in my battery though.

 

Thoughts anyone? Are there more steps I need to take in order to have my battery work properly again?

 

Thanks!

Battery Problems Linked to Firmware Update?


Hello all,



I have a 13" Macbook Pro that I purchased in the USA in 2011. It has stopped holding power. It will only turn on if the power adaptor is connected.



Resetting the SMC (several times) did not resolve the problem.



I have attached a screen grab showing the battery information.




Do you think the battery is under warranty? Only 98 cycles and battery condition normal. Or do you think it may be the Logic Board?



Or could the firmware update I made recently be a cause? Is there a log held in the computer of all the updates made and when they were made?



Regards.



Kevin

After SMC 1.8 Update, mid-2011 Air won't sleep, battery drains constantly

TL;DR: Installed SMC 1.8, computer won't sleep. Do I have to do a full system wipe / restore?

 

I've seen a few other threads noting issues after the SMC 1.8 update (like https://discussions.apple.com/message/21130929 ) but nothing matches my exact symptoms so I'll post a new one.

 

For the past week, it seems that my mid-2011 13" 128GB MBA won't go to sleep, either by closing the lid or Apple->Sleep from the menu. The bottom of the case is perpetually warm and the battery drains from full to dead in ~6 hours. I had installed a couple of pieces of software around the time that I did the SMC 1.8 update so I'm not sure exactly what the culprit is but I'll go on a limb and say the SMC update is the likeliest suspect.

 

I have tried the following steps to no avail:

  • shutting off Wifi and Bluetooth (and disabling "Wake on" features)
  • rebooting
  • powering down and resetting the SMC
  • cursing in several languages

 

When I run "pmset -g assertions" this is the summary output:

2/14/13 2:28:35 PM EST  

Assertion status system-wide:

   PreventUserIdleDisplaySleep    0

   PreventSystemSleep             0

   PreventUserIdleSystemSleep     0

   ExternalMedia                  0

   UserIsActive                   0

   ApplePushServiceTask           0

   BackgroundTask                 0

 

So as best I can understand the issue, there's no user-level software keeping my system running and thus I'm blaming SMC. I'm at a loss for next steps... I've never tried the genuis bar but I'm skeptical they can add much, so am I down to doing a system restore or is there something else to pursue first?
