nope, it's definitely not indexing any more. I checked that yesterday when I was trying to solve that apple.com.doc.extra mystery; that's still showing up too by the way. I only have about 20 GB of stuff on my hard drive anyway, so at least in theory, it should have finished indexing that on Wednesday when I first got lion. Someone else has confirmed the problem, though, so I'm almost definite it's not just my macbook exhibiting this behavior. Missy

Is spotlight still indexing your files perhaps? This would probably cause major battery drain. Do a command spacebar and then vo down arrow to see if it says anything about not showing all results becasue it is indexing. You'll have to vo-down arrow a few times to find how long it has left to index. On Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 2:05 PM, Missy Hoppe <melis...@fuse.net> wrote: Hello, all! I've just found a major, major problem with lion, and am wondering if anyone else has experienced it yet. This one is almost serious enough to make me want to run back to snow leopard, but I'm not entirely sure how to do that, but my questions and concerns regarding downgrading aren't what I wanted to post about here. I have a 2011 macbook pro mc724LLA. Before lion, I was getting around 8 hours of battery life with screen brightness at 0 and just leaving the mac idle to check twitter and things. I'd use it from time to time for other tasks, and even then would get around 8 hours of productivity on a fully charged battery. Well, I decided this morning that I would let it run on battery for a little while; I typically just leave my macbook plugged into an outlet since it primarily lives on a desk in my dining room. Still, I try to drain the battery at least once every week or two so that it will be in good shape if I ever do need to travel. Anyway, I disconnected the AC adapter as I usually do, and then checked the status menu. It told me I was going to get nearly 10 hours off the battery charge. I was pretty excited; figuring that I could leave it running happily all day on battery. Well, no such luck. About 4-5 hours later, I went to see if I had missed any direct messages or anything on twitter, and the macbook was completely dead. Nothing I pressed would respond at all. I plugged in the ac adapter, and everything came back to life, and now it's 1 hour 24 minutes til the battery is fully charged. So, I guess my question is this: has anyone else noticed seriously reduced battery life on their macbooks? I had one friend on twitter confirm that he's experiencing the same problem, so am almost definite that this isn't just me. If I find one more flaw in lion, I am going to figure out how to downgrade to snow leopard, that's for sure! Well, I guess that's it for now. I hope that everyone is having a really wonderful day, and I'm really enjoying all the talk about taming the lion. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
