Hi Michael
iMovie shouldn't have an effect on the battery.
If you Option click on the battery icon in the menu bar, what extra info does
it say there. (It should say something like Condition:Normal.). If it says
Condition: Service Battery, then it can mean there is a problem with a
battery.
Thanks Daniel.
Option click shows condition normal. Fan was running when battery was not
charging. Fan is not running now but iMovie reports unable to prepare project
for publishing because a error occurred (-49). Battery is now charging.

Give it a restart and see how goes with iMovie again. May be fine after that.
Or an SMC can still help as well. (perhaps was just overheating/overworking
slightly.)
Kind regards
Daniel

Hi Yvonne,
Download CoconutBattery and check the cycle count.

The “Service Battery” alert in almost every case means the battery needs to be
replaced with a new one. In some circumstances though, if the battery still

Hi Yvonne,
You should still have battery cycles to go, normally your model MBP should get
300+ cycles.
Apple guarantee the battery to 300 cycles.
Did you reset the SMC as I mentioned previously?

It's a great little app the coconut one. Just checked MacBook belonging to
SWMBO, it's done 453 cycles and still performs well. Min 2 hours from unhooking
off power.
Just a question, is a cycle counted whenever it drops below 100%? So if it
goes 100% down to say 95% then back to 100%, does
Hi Pete,
A charge cycle means using ALL of the battery’s power, but that doesn’t
necessarily mean a single charge.
For instance, you could use your notebook for an hour or more one day, using
half its power, and then recharge it fully.
If you did the same thing the next day, it would count
Thanks Ronni, clear now.
Pete.

Good pointer Ruben !
OK ! That was the first part ! Now for the recharging of those NMh
cells .
RightUPFRONT :
You NEED A SPECIALLY DESIGNED CHARGER
to recharge those cells,
and the reasons why are all spelt out in a 36 page pdf document found
at the following address .

Hi David,
LOL - I am funnily enough.
But the saga continues. I took my faithful little machine to a
different service centre. After describing the problem and it
being fixed - TWICE with the promises that it was tested while
running I am taking it back to the very slow service centre.

I have been through 3 yoyos. Is yours the one with the thin mains cord
or the thicker one? The thin one cracks at the yoyo-plug end and arcs
there, frying the wire. That's what happened with mine.
I got two replacement cords (eventually!) and the third one I cut open,
resoldered and
This is a curious issue and I wish I had an answer for you but only
more weirdness- I have on my desk two dead YoYo power supplies
from two G3 powerbooks. None of my users have had issues with these
before Friday so I've never had a close look at one until Friday.
Both YoYo units were stone
Hi,
I had these problems with the bricks. The two bricks ended up in 3
parts instead of 2 and I replaced an extra in the product recall.
I also had the soundcard replaced when the solder on the powerport
went due to the jiggling required.
The yoyo's have been going great though. My last one

Try resetting the power manager. I can't recall how to do this but you will
find instructions in the Apple Knowledge Base article ID 14449. I'll try
sending it to you.
