Hello.
My macbook is less than a year old (10 months to be exact) and my macbook air has been great
Recently i can feel the battery been decreasing faster than usual. Usually if i just surf the net i wont lose as much battery but within 1 hour i lost almost 20 percent
I dont think this is normal and would love if i got any help or assistance
Many thanks
🙂
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
1. Check the cycle count of the battery against the rated life for your model. The battery may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
2. Follow these instructions.
3. In the Energy Saver preference pane, uncheck the box marked
Enable Power Nap while on battery power
if it's shown (it may not be.)
4. You can also try resetting the SMC.
5. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
6. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Hello
My battery is in good condition..
only 88 cycles
and my app store is screwed. its like frozen so i cant update my mac to the latest update 😟 any help?
So it is not the battery but something that's gone astray.
Did you do the reset already:
1. double click the Home button, slide all running softwares up to stop them.
2. hold the Home Button and the Power Button at the same time, keep holding until you see the white apple logo appear (about 10-20 secs), then let both go. Let it start up.
I think my app store is ******
it just freezes :3
What did you find in Step 2?
you mean my activity monitor results
?
if this helps?
