Just updated my OS to Mojave this morning and brought my laptop to work. It was on full charge when I left home. 2hrs after using it, the battery percentage was down to 40% which never happened before during any of my regular use. Also, the texts on the screen are blurry.
MACBOOK AIR (13-INCH, 2017), macOS Mojave (10.14)
I spoke to Apple support, suggested resetting the battery/memory by holding down the control, shift, option and power keys then release the first three at the same time. Also noted this update will take time to configure the file structure. It does this while sleeping and takes a incredible amount of resource. It took three days but my Mac has returned to normal all on its own or maybe the reset helped. Give it a try, sometimes waiting does pay off.
may be closing the lid soon before macbook shuting down completly make it sleep => drain battery. lol
go back to macOS Sierra !! that is how you fix your issue
Thank you for your help. I am such a poor technology person that I am afraid to try that. I guess I'll wait until a grandson can help me. But I am grateful that you took the time to give me aid.
no worries just remember to back up your data !!! and even if you wont manage to do it yourself you can just go to apple store where thwy will help you out with it. it is a common problem
What can we Do??? 😡🤬
Real solution that worked please.....
Has anyone done a clean installation and solved the problem?
New 15" MacBook Pro w/Mojave dark mode. Power 100% before unplugging and closing lid at bedtime. Eight hours later, battery 0%, system won't start without power. Help.
We are so many hear that I have to ask, did you update to Catalina? What do you think? Should the battery drain problem be fixed by the new OS? Thanks!
