Q: My EL Capitan Installation Issues

All these issues happened right after a painful EL Capitan installation.battery-indicator.jpg

 

1. Battery indicator shows there is no more batter life left, while I am connected via power cord!

 

2. Fan is running on the highest level and noise is annoying. If the system is updating the spotlight index and/or any other function that causes this, then where is the indicator stating that function. Or is it just a guess work from Apple?

 

 

3. Keyboard battery light is not coming on and I am trying to figure out how to turn it on!

    If you are still under warranty, go to Apple.  Otherwise, Time Machine back to Yosemite and turn off auto updates in App Store.  I tried every suggestion found here in the forums without going into Terminal (hey, I know my limits and abilities...I don't mess with code).

     

    I would be concerned about the fan running high, for a long time and loudly.  My previous iMac did the same thing and it had a logicboard meltdown.  Cost to replace was 75% the cost of a new iMac.  So I ended up purchasing a new iMac.

     

    Apple really dropped the ball on El Capitan.

     

    Best of luck!

    I have no idea if apple fixed the problem in the back ground or the procedure below did it !!

    This is what I did ..

     

    1-Shut down computer.

    2. hold Cmd+Option+Ctr and click on power

    3. release all at the same time very quickly.

     

    repeated this several time and now everything is normal for me.
