MacBook Pro :: New 13inch Only Charges To 99%
Aug 4, 2009
So I just go a new umb 13 and since opening last week the battery only charges to 99% after the first charge (went to 100% only the first time). I ran it down once to see how long the battery would last and when i recharged it, it says its fully charged but only at 99%. I then tried calibrating it but it once again stop at 99%. It has 3 load cycles so far. Is this normal? if this has been asked before im a newbie to a mac and i tried searching for it but couldnt find anything.

I've had my 11" ultimate for about 3 weeks. Its mostly used by the wife around the house so I never really noticed before that the battery never charges to 100%. I'll leave it plugged in overnight. Open it up and it tells me it charged, however as soon as I unplug the cord it reads 99%. Does anyone ever see 100%? I know it really has no bearing on battery life, which is great on this machine, but all my previous laptops have said 100% when fully charged?

This is the hardest decision for me. Do i go with a 4GB setup 11.6 inch laptop or spend the extra 300 to get. better cpu, better battery life, SD reader and More screen re-estate.I don't want the macbook air to be too fast that it will replace my 2007 macbook (which will soon be a mac-mini 2.4GHZ). How are you guys liking your 13 inch vs the 11.6 inch? I see more people at the mac store going nuts over the 11.6 inch.

Does new 13" Macbook Pro box include iLife 09 dvd also? Else iLife 09 just installed on the system without any backup dvd? If i want to upgrade to a new hard disk, is cloning the original hard disk only way to retain iLife?

Lets just say that the price didn't matter (it does, though), what would be the absolute best Hard Drive I could put into my 2010 MBP 13"? Now, what are some good drives that are relatively cheap that will work? Should I go SSD or regular?

I upgraded from my old 13" Uni macbook to the 13" pro and I have not been impressed with the battery power. I get about 4 hours with half brightness, wifi on and light web browsing. Yes, i have checked activity monitor, CPU hangs at like 5% the whole time...Does this sound right? Furthermore, the battery will charge from 5%-10% to fully charged in little more than hour, like 1:15..that seems like an awfully short time to fully charge such a big battery...
Coco Battery reports only 1-2% wear with just a few cycles. I have conditioned the battery to no effect.

If I have a half-full battery and adapter plugged in, the indicator light is green and a "not charging" is shown on the top bar in screen. And the power in the battery will decrease in a speed between 0 and battery-only.
If I use a empty battery and adapter plugged in wall, the computer can start and run a few seconds/minutes and it will shut down randomly. If I closed the screen, the indicator light will finally go amber and begin to charge. I change battery and megasafe and it is the same.
I feel the reason is my mother board is not able to aquire enough Watts from the megasafe to support its normal running. So it consumes power both from megasafe and battery.

I just bought the $1199 Macbook Air (2012). It works great but the start up time from when I hit the power button is significantly slower than my 2011 Macbook air. My 2012 takes about 35-40 seconds to boot-up. My 2011 takes about 15-10 seconds. I have downloaded all the updates and restarted several times but every time its still 35-40 seconds, Is this normal for the 2012's?

I've got the latest MBP 13inch with Vista installed on Bootcamp. I've turned the sound all the way up and it's still very low. I've got all the latest boot camp drivers installed, I've tried viewing different videos trying to see if the video was the culprit, but unfortunately it wasn't. I searched around and I've seen others with this issue, but haven't found a fix.
I've watched the same videos in Leopard that I did in Vista and they're a lot louder.

I'm trying to figure out what happened, and what is wrong, with my computer screen. I know it's not a dead pixel, since it's still visable. It's like a burned image, like you would get on a TV. I didn't do any physical damage to it, I know that for sure. Here's a photo. It's the ghosty off-white area that's on the left hand side of the black rectangle. (I made it back so you can see it better on camera, it's not the problem).Â

I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life) bought in October 2010. The charger has been playing up for a while now - the light going out but coming back on when I move the cable a bit - faulty connection it seems. It has now stopped working at all. Apple UK charge a whopping £65 for a replacement - and the reviews are AWFUL for it, but I can't use my MBP without one.Â

I have had my 13 in macbook pro for about three months and suddenly it does not charge when it is plugged in. In the last week this has started to happen but upon fussing with the connection like unplugging and replugging in the magnet charger it would start for a while and stop randomly. Now I can not get the computer to charge at all no matter how much I fuss. Do I need a new adapter or is there some other problem?

last night my MacBook Pro (13inch early 2011 model) froze on me so I let it be and closed the lid. In the morning it was still frozen. I did a hard restart and got the question mark on a folder icon. I tried everything, resetting PRAM, etc, etc. Northing seemed to work untill I plugged in my external hard drive (used as my time-machine backup) and I got to the re-installation/ utilities / safari / restore from backup screen. In the utilities it saw my external hard drive, but not my internal main drive. Any ideas? I've read hundreds of similar posts and nothing seems to resolve an unseen hard drive. Oh btw I plugged in another SATA HDD and it didnt recognize that either.

Bought in first week of release. I don't always leave it plugged in. I have followed all directions for calibration from the start. Is this within spec? The 97% figure comes from Mac's own battery monitor, and I haven't run any other battery-related software.

I know it's a strange questions but my mother's powerbook G4 1.5ghz just suffered from the infamous lower ram slot failure and does not fall within the warranty extension program. However, she has VISA performance guarantee and if the repair is going to cost too much, they will most likely offer to replace the computer with a new equivalent one.
This particular issue, apparently, is not really fixable and people who have their logic boards replaced often experience the same problem again later down the road. Since VISA has a no lemon policy and will replace automatically after three repairs, I figure it's better to save my mother the considerable hassle of having to send it in on multiple occasions...
So: I'm I want to find the most expensive authorized apple repair shop. Any 'good' suggestions?

Wanted to know if the 2005 13inch is compatible with the 2009? Specifically when it comes to interchange of logic boards. What would happen if I put a 2009 logic board in a 2005 body? Are the screens of same nature and are the keys are the keyboard an other functions of same nature? What possible damage could be had to the logic board if I were to go ahead and give this a try? Â

it is possible, but however some of the hardware features may not be supported by Fedora unless the Kernel can be patched such as back-light, iSight etc etc.
