Battery Warning!
Good Morning all. Enjoying the cricket are we? 
..........(throws mental rocks at Exocet sitting in a corporate box at the "Gabba"!) 
Problem!
I am not getting the usual, "You are now running on reserve battery power" warning, and I can't seem to find in option to show/ Hide this in preferences anywhere.
Any ideas?  |

If it's the MacBook, sounds like a battery issue.
I had something similar (random shutdowns) because the battery did not warn me it was low. Basically cuts off at around 20% remaining (not the 3 or 5% as usual).
Get a service centre to have a look at the battery, if you suspect it is not holding a charge/charging issue.

My macbook was doing this and turned out that the battery was buggered. Take it into a reseller and they should replace it for you (if it is under warranty).

Quite the contrary, Apple tends to give you things when it happens, like a Macbook Pro -> http://mactalk.com.au/forums/showthread.php?t=28926 |
