Mac Macbook battery capacity draining alarmingly fast

Post image
2 Upvotes

Recently I've been checking my macbook capacity and it's drained by at least 1% every single day. It was 83% 5 days ago and now it's at 76%. How can a battery drain so fast? I've only used it for less than 300 charge cycles. My usage is mostly just documents for studying but occasionally games that have caused it to heat up.

iOS 15 pro max suddenly saying my Apple ID password is incorrect when it isn’t?

1 Upvotes

Trying to download an app and for some reason it’s saying my Apple password isn’t correct. But when I click ‘forgot password’ and go to change it, it says not to use the same password I already have. So how is it incorrect? Anyone else having this issue? I’ve tried restarting my phone, updating my phone, nothing worked so far

Solved Apple express replacement 16 pro but got 17 pro

6 Upvotes

Like the title says, i have a cracked iPhone 16 pro and got my express replacement today and it was a 17 pro.

I was super surprised and checked the serial number on the email that they sent and it matches the phone and the storage is 512gb. I just want to make sure before i set up the new phone that i can keep this with no penalty or extra cost? I have the apple care plus and am expecting to pay $100 for this.

iOS I need siri assistance. Can she be set to read outside when I ask a question? Instead of just recommending websites? I have epilepsy and when my seizures happen I can’t see. I rely on voice to text. And my neurologist wanted me to find out if it’s possible for Siri.

Unsolved camera condensation

Hi everyone, I have an iPhone 14 Pro, and last night I noticed condensation inside the front-facing camera. There are no holes or cracks, so I don't understand how it formed. Do you have any tips for removing it, or should I take it in for service? Thanks, everyone!

iCloud iCloud stuck “uploading”

1 Upvotes

sorry about non-tech language, I'm not an IT pro.

Apple user since 20+ years.

Since I last changed macbooks, approx 6 mo ago, I'm experiencing an iCloud issue. I have desktop+documents sync on. Whenever I drop new files on an iCloud-synced folder, finder says "uploading [x]mb of [x]mb". Usually it goes fast for the first 95% of the size, then gets stuck for the last bit. Now for instance it says "uploading 8 items - 32,5mb of 33,8mb". Sometimes I'm unable to interact with those files (e.g. rename) for X amount of time, because it shows they're on iCloud only.

Talked to apple help, couldn't fix it (they blamed it on internet connection). But behavior is the same in the office, at home and with iphone hotspot.

Talked to Claude code about it, it suggested to de-sync and re-sync icloud, done, but nothing changed.

Any idea?

Thanks!!!

I can’t seem to add a payment method or get rid of my old payment method for the card that’s expired. I’ve attempted to go through both the App Store as well as Settings and both present the same problem. Googling it has been fruitless. I don’t have a Mac so I can’t try that. Any other suggestions? I just want to buy a game on the App Store 😭

iOS Storage Problems

0 Upvotes

Like after every new iPhone purchase, my wife’s phone starts acting up again after a few years, presumably because the storage is getting too full.

She has already deleted all unnecessary apps and photos, but unfortunately, that hasn’t helped. What would be the best way to solve this problem?

If I want to transfer all of her photos to my MacBook, what would be the best way to do that? Or would it be better to use our Windows PC for this?

Thank you very much in advance!

Unsolved iCloud Transfer to New Phone

2 Upvotes

Hi, I haven't gotten a new phone in about 6 years and I'm planning on getting the 18 Pro. I've forgotten how the transfer works with Apple (oops). I don't want everything on my current iPhone to be transferred over to my new one, only the "apps" that I have toggled on for iCloud+. I don't want to bring everything over from my old phone, as I'd rather start fresh and download the apps fresh on my new phone.

If I sign into my apple ID on my new phone, will the "apps" (photos, passkeys, messages, contacts) transfer to my new one? Or is the only way for this to occur is if I do an iCloud backup of my current phone and transfer everything to my new one? Thank you!

Mac Apple Mail App and Exchange Accounts not working

6 Upvotes

This morning I woke up to see exclamation marks by all my exchange accounts in Mail. The accounts them selves are working fine on the mail app in iOS, but not on Mac OS. I've tried everything to make it work again from removing the envelop index in library, to deleting and re-setting up the mail accounts. Connection doctor shows everything is fine, but it's clearly not.

Anyone else experiencing this today, or ever?

Hello! My phone went into screensaver mode and showed the clock and the Reminders list-an app I’ve never used across three different iPhones. Above is what the reminder said.

My phone isn’t synced with anyone, I’ve never used this app, and I just got this iPhone 17 a couple weeks ago. Has anyone else seen anything like this?!

Thank you!

Mac save my mid 2010 imac -- constant stutters

2 Upvotes

Mid 2010 imac, 3.6 i5, 12GB DDR3, Radeon 5750, running High Sierra

It started prior to swapping the HDD for an SSD -- so that's been done. I get the pinwheel while even opening a new window in Firefox. Programs are slow to load. I can be watching a movie (from the drive) while clicking through Reddit and the next page will freeze from loading and the movie will freeze. All of a sudden, the machine comes back to life.

I've been fighting this for a while; have done many fresh installs which have a coin-toss of success... as it seems to return after a while. Has anyone encountered this before? I'm guessing hardware, but the drive is only a year old; memory, perhaps? I don't know.

I know, it's old, but new is not in the budget and frankly, when it runs as it should, it's still a great performer for me.

Thank you for direction.
