MacBook Air :: Battery Finish After A Few Weeks On Rev A?

Nov 23, 2008

I've had the Rev A 64SSD for about 4-6 weeks (brand new from Apple), and last night when it reached low battery with 18 minutes left I plugged in the charger.

A couple of hours later I unplugged it and it still only had 18 minutes remaining. That was bizarre because it was obviously plugged in and switched on (the screen goes brighter once the charger is plugged in).

I tried again this morning and the same thing It only stays on if it's plugged in!

Do I need to return it? Can I go into the Apple store if I bought it online? If it does have to be sent away, do they provide a replacement?

MacBook Pro :: Finish Battery On Rev C MBA?

Jan 20, 2010

I turned on my rev C MBA using the battery power. It booted properly but soon after I logged in, my MBA suddenly went off (as if I holded the power button for a few seconds).

Then, I've decided to power cycle it. Still the same thing: it shut downs unexpectedly. The moment it shuts down is quite random, but I cannot use the Air on battery for more than a few minutes (less than 5 minutes actually).

Hence, I decided to charge it overnight. This morning, to my surprise, the charging light on the adapter was amber (not green).

So, it seems like I cannot recharge my battery. I've reset the PMU and this doesn't help. Please note that I haven't used the MBA for a few weeks, leaving it unplugged.

I don't know whether it had some impact or not on the battery.

Software :: MacBook Battery Finish?

Nov 2, 2008

I have a battery from an older MacBook I'm trying to use as a backup with my new MacBook. They are both white, same size, both Intel Macs.

The battery certainly fits. The problem is, it shows no bars even after charging for a while. The percentage says zero and doesn't change even after 45 minutes or so.

Is this battery ruined, or needs to charge all night? Or could it be that it doesn't work with this computer, even though they seem to be interchangeable?

MacBook Pro :: Does My Macbook Pro Battery Is Going To Finish?

Apr 1, 2010

I bought non-unibody mbp in Oct 2008. During the last few weeks, the battery started loosing its capacity. So, I did the calibration of the battery as mentioned in Apple website. Didn't help.

I installed Coconut battery to check its true capacity. Here is the screenshot,

I don't have an applecare protection as it past one year. Alternatively, I have extended warranty with my MBNA Platinum card.

Should I contact Apple? Is this part will be replaced by Apple? Or, should I go through the long procedure of MBNA extended warranty process?

MacBook Pro :: Apple Replaced My System With The Previous MBP Two Weeks Ago?

Apr 17, 2010

Apple replace my 2007 (June) MBP with the version just prior to this last update (June 2009 model) on April 7. Any chance Apple would swap me with the brand new MBP or am I just S.O.L. I have heard here of people purchasing MBP (because they were fed up with waiting) a week or two before the updates became public and Apple happily swapped them with the newest version

MacBook Pro :: Will Not Finish Start Up

Feb 23, 2012

I was installing the new Mac OSX 10.7 update for lion and also another update for my airport extreme base station. After an hour on the stage of the install that says it is installing components and moving components into place, it appeared to have frozen up. I held the power button down and started it up again and now it just makes the start up sound but never starts up. It just has a bright screen with the apple figure and the spinning clock like motion thing.

OS X :: Snow Leopard On MacBook - Installation Doesn't Finish

Jan 17, 2010

I just bought Snow Leopard today and I am trying to install it on my MacBook (with intel processor). I have inserted the dvd and tried to install it but there seems to be a problem as it is written: "Time remaining about 45 minutes" and this doesn't change. The dvd has been running for over 2 hours now and I don't know what to do nor what is going on? I understood installation with Snow Leopard should be faster. Is it normal that it takes so long to install the operating system (more than 2 hours)? It should just be an upgrade as I have Leopard already installed. I also have Windows Vista installed on a disk partition. Does that make any problem? It shouldn't as at the beginning of the installation I chose Macintosh HD.

MacBook Pro :: Aluminum Surface Finish - Rough Palm Rest

Sep 7, 2009

I recently acquired a MacBook Pro from Apple. Its the 15" Unibody model. Upon opening it, I found that the surface of the palm rest has a rough finish to it; kinda as though it didn't go through the final polishing stage or something when it was manufactured. This rough texture feels very uncomfortable to my hands when I type, in comparison to the normal "soft" feel and texture to it that I've experienced with other Unibodies. Has anyone else experienced this with their Macs? If it matters, I got mine from a California distribution center because I got an exchange. Wasn't sure if that had to do with anything, but the seal had been broken once (but resealed with another) for what I presume was to insert the Snow Leopard drop-in DVD. I was assured it wasn't by a manager from customer support, but the computer almost seemed as though it was a refurbished model.

Applications :: Copying Entire Weeks In ICal?

Sep 14, 2010

does anyone know if it's possible to copy an entire week in iCal and paste it onto the next week? I've tried fiddling around with it a little bit, but to no avail. The reason for my inquiry is because I have my college class schedule on iCal, and I want to be able to have every week just show up, instead of re-typing it every week.

OS X :: Erased Hard Disk... Weeks Of Work Lost?

Sep 16, 2009

I have just erased all of my architecture honours year et all off my computer.

I have two laptops at the moment as one is faulty. Needed to free up some data from time machine as it was nearly full before back up my computer to transfer to the new one. This is going to sound like madness but i deleted all of the time machine backups, because I also have old backups for a previous laptop and there is only enough room for both. Then to free up even more space i downloaded Back-in-Time to remove some rubbish from the old mac back ups, found a file I had been looking for and tried to restore that to the desktop. HOwever i clicked the wrong button and it started restoring my whole computer. It wiped my desktop and everything. I managed to stop it after only 66 KB were written. I have removed the time capsule. Is there any way to get my stuff back ? I really need it because it has all the work from my honours year, and i have deleted all back ups...

ITunes 10.6.1(7) Running With OS 10.6.8 Crashes After Working Flawlessly For Weeks

May 22, 2012

Today I was running iTunes, editing play lists, syncing them to one of 4 iPods registered to this iMac/iTunes version. 6 hours later, iMac still in same configuration, I left the desk and my son began using iMac choosing a different song on iTunes, logged on Firefox and connected his iPod (one of the 4 registered). The iTunes application froze. He called me and after seeing it crashed, I right clicked on the iTunes dock icon and force quit the application. I restarted the iMac and after it rebooted I clicked the iTunes icon and iTunes opened without our music libraries, just as it was when I ran iTunes the first time when the iMac was brand new. The top banner says, "iTunes1".

Intel Mac :: Audio Gets Choppy And Becomes Unusable After A Few Weeks Of Uptime

Jun 21, 2012

I'm running a fully-loaded 2011 iMac (still the latest model as of this writing) and it stays up 24x7 (it's a work machine that is constantly compiling and testing software).  I listen to music, mainly using Spotify, during the day.  Parallels, VPN Tracker, Skype, and Chrome is always on as well. 

After 20-30 days, the audio, across the board, starts to get choppy (music, Skype, even system sounds).  After a day or so, it eventually gets to where the choppiness is so bad that audio is completely unusable.  The only thing that I've found that fixes it is a reboot.  Sigh...  I've tried closing every application, plugging and unplugging the speakers, and chanting, and nothing but rebooting helps.  As far as I can tell, there is no way to "restart" the audio system specifically.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Filling Up The External Hard Drive So It Only Kept Backups For A Few Weeks?

Jun 17, 2012

OK, kinda a long story. Pardon the ranting, but if feels like everything is going wrong and I'm getting pretty tired of it. 

I was going along nicely with my Mac. Then I had a time-sensitive iMovie project that was going totallly screwy. I ended up buying Lion hoping that would fix the problem. It didn't spent several more hours trolling forums and figured out it was a weird problem with the software. 

So... then I was stuck with Lion. Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Rosetta Stone, etc. don't work on it. Not cool. Would have been nice if I was warned before doing this. So, I figured I'd go back in my Time Machine backup. However, I was really busy and didn't get to it until a few weeks later. I'd never actually used Time Machine, but when I went into it I was astonished to find that it backed up on the hour, filling up the external hard drive so it only kept backups for a few weeks. And of course, it was too late to backup to my old OS. So not cool. Who in the world needs an hourly backup??? I'd much prefer a weekly backup a little further back. That's just absurd. 

So, anyway, I had the old Time Machine backup. I figured if I messed up, I could always restore to the recent Lion backup. So, I restored to Snow Leopard from the disk, wiping the hard drive. Then, I tried to go in and get my files off of the external hard drive/Time Machine backup. It didn't recognize I even had an external hard drive plugged in. 

So... I decided to go back to Lion, maybe I needed to be in Lion to access the Lion backup. Spent hours putting Lion back on. And... still doesn't even recognize that there's an external hard drive plugged in. What gives? 

I've been trying to think of what all could be the problem here. Did I just think I was backing up to the external hard drive this whole time, when really I was backing up to the computer? No, because it would send me reminders when the external hard drive wasn't plugged in. Is the cord or something broken to the external hard drive? I suppose it's possible, but just a few hours before I saw the Time Machine backups... And there is power to it.

Applications :: IPhoto Import Fails To Finish?

Jul 5, 2007

For the past few days, I have been trying to import some photos from my Canon Rebel XT. The symptom is that after all photos are loaded from the camera, iPhoto displays 1 photo remaining and fails to complete. After a while, the camera times out and shuts off. iPhoto will now appear to be done, but in fact if you try to quit, it will refuse saying the import isn't finished. The only way to quit is to force a quit. While this is happening CPU will be 100% with 30% to the system, and 70% to iPhoto. You can leave this for days and it still will not complete.

I have tried importing from the camera directly, and directly from the compact flash with the same results.

I am running OSX 10.4.10 and iPhoto 6.0.6.
