Quite suddenly, the battery in my MacBook Pro (mid-2015) has begun exhausting itself in a few hours while asleep.
Has anyone else experienced this worrying phenomenon?
iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1
The it's not probably actually asleep. Look for applications that are staying active.
Thanks Lanny. Have downloaded a 'stat' app that may help track down the offender(s).
Lanny: Have discovered that it's Google Drive that's causing my battery to deplete. But when I try to delete it, there's a message saying "Google Drive can't be moved to the trash because it's open". And I have been unable to find out how to quit this wretched app.
Can you help?
Thanks.
Go to activity monitor and select the CPU tab then you can close the process. However Google drive should be in your top bar located somewhere besides the battery and sound icons and you should be able to quit it from there.
Ghonaz....thank you so much. Thought I was going to have to call Google today, as it was apparently impossible to get rid of. Hoping that Drive' departure will solve the problem.
Your expertise is appreciated.
