Can I leave the display open for say all day while downloading torrent file

Sometimes it takes all day to download a torrent file can i leave the display on or should i turn it off and will my macbook keep downloading the file thank you

It's fine to leave it on but you can also just set the display to go to sleep and let your computer keep working. The settings are under *System Preferences* in *Energy Saver*. I usually have mine turn off after 15 minutes so it will rest while my download or other work continues.

  • Where can I get the Boot Disk for my macbook pro? Downloading OSX Lion is taking too long

    I got a macbook pro that was owned by someone for a few days before. I tried to restore to factory setting but now downloading OSX Lion is taking forever with my internet connection. Can anyone help me find a boot Disk to speed up the process?

    Apple no longer sells a Lion installation USB flash drive (they did at one time). SO you'll just have to wait for the download to complete. It's best to 'hard-wire' the download - not over wifi but with an Ethernet cable connected directly to your router. That will gain you some speed.
    You could also try taking your MBP to a friend's home where they may have a faster Internet service. My download speed is 22+Mbps with my cable company - you may have a friend or neighbor who has something similar? Of course, you are always at the mercy of Apple's servers - sometimes they're just overloaded and a download that should take 20 minutes can take up to an hour and one-half.
    Good luck,

  • How can I change the reminder time of an all day event?

    How can I make an all day event remind me the evening before.  The only reminder options are 9:00 the day of (which is too late) or 9:00 the day before (which gives you a whole day to forget about it).  Why can I not select when I want a reminder?  I have tried both alert tab in the event itself, and the default alert setting under settings/mail, contacts, calendars/default alert times. 

    THis is what I do, and it works for me.....I create two entries. Yes, it is extra work, but it works.  The first one is the all-day event.  I set that to remind me the day before and two days before.
    Then the second entry I set a time on the day, and in the Title Box, I put "reminder about "insert date here". Then I set that to remind me according to hour(s) or minutes before.
    IF I want a reminder inconsistent with those, I simply set the start date/time for the actual hour I want to be reminded, even if it is say "11:00pm the night before"  when it goes off, I just reset it using the roll thing to the next date/time that I want it to go off.
    I am a newbie and still have my old-fashioned paper planner, fully filled out, but find the calendar feature of the iPhone so absolutely useful. As well as the notes. Mainly when I am out and about. I used to tote my book around, now I just enter it on my phone, make myself a note, and then enter the info in my book later on. Paperless society, I doubt that'll happen, but technological devices sure fit in your pocket more easily...
    BTw- have you noticed that if you put in a birthday of a contact in Contacts, it will show up in your calendar with a little present icon?
    (= Have a happy day! =)

  • Can I change the display timing for my wallpaper?

    Apologies if this has been asked and answered. I tried several searches and couldn't find anything.
    I teach project management, and during breaks, I have my desktop set to display pictures from my travels. I normally set it to "change picture: every 5 seconds." However, my students will generally ask for some commentary, and for many of the photos, 5 seconds is really too short.
    Is there any way for me to add another option to the choices in System Preferences for 7 seconds? Failing that, is there any way for me to change the 5 second timing to 7 seconds?

    This is a pictorial teardown of a rMBP. In Step 15, you can see the motherboard with the GPU chip firmly soldered to it. While the GPU is often called a graphics card, as is the ATI Radeon 5870 in my Mac Pro, it's a discrete graphics chip, as opposed to the graphics portion of the CPU which your rMBP also has.

  • Can I leave my display on for 4 hours?

    I'm downloading something that takes 4 hours on the macbook, is it alright if I leave my macbook on but put the screen to sleep for 4 hours?

    I don't see why not.
    If your display is asleep, there's no risk of burn-in or anything. Otherwise that sounds fine.

    Hi,
    Where can I purchase the serial number for Iworks, or purchase and download Pages for OSX 4.11?
    Thanks so much in advance for your help!

    You can search Google, eBay, Amazon, and Craigslist to find an old version of iWork for a PPC Mac. Probably needs to be iWork 6 or earlier.

  • Can I leave the battery in my macbook even though I always have it plugged

    Hi just bought a Macbook over the weekend and am new to mac after a few days I totally enjoy the os and probally will never use windows again but my question is I leave my macbook plugged in all the time should I leave the battery in and is ok to leave the macbook on all day while I am downloading files thank you

    Hi, and welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    You can leave your battery in if you leave it plugged in all the time, however it may affect the battery life negatively. See this article: http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
    And if you do decide to leave it plugged in with the battery in, you should calibrate the battery regularly.
    And yes, you can leave it running all day while downloading files.

  • Does anyone besides me find it odd that calendar.app assigns a start time for an all day event?

    Does anyone besides me find it odd that calendar.app assigns a start time for an all day event?

    Hi SharpBud,
    The date for all day event stored in SQL in GMT time, the start time for an all day event returns the start time in GMT time, which is not the current time most likely.
    This is a confirmed issue, as a workaround, I would suggest you to use a calculate column for the event for the column, using the following format:
    IF(TEXT(([End Time]-[Start Time])-TRUNC(([End Time]-[Start Time]),0),"0.000000000")="0.999305556",IF([Start Time]=ROUND([Start Time],0),[Start Time],DATE(YEAR([Start Time]),MONTH([Start
    Time]),DAY([Start Time])+1)),[Start Time])
    Thanks,

  • My iphoto9 has not been able to open for over 10 days!!  I can't load my Christmas pics, etc.  I know the pics are still there because I can access them through a round about way.  Can anyone help me to OPEN iPHOTO!?

    My iphoto9 has not been able to open for over 10 days!!  I can't load my Christmas pics, etc.  I know the pics are still there because I can access them through a round about way.  Can anyone help me to OPEN iPHOTO!?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Can Not Calibrate the display. The factory profile for the display...

    I have an apple cinema display 20" and a mac powerbook g4 (1.25 GHx PowerPC g4, 1.25 GB DDR SDRAM) with os 10.4.9. All of my software is up to is date.
    I used to be able to calibrate my colorsync profiles. My computer's hard drive recently failed and I had it replaced and the system re-installed (If any of you live in NYC, I took it to tek Serve, and they know what they are doing).
    Now when I try to calinbrate my monitor I get the error "Can Not Calibrate the display. The factory profile for the display could not be found." Like I said I have updated to 10.4.9 but this hasnt solved my problem. I have restarted my computer, and this has also not solved my problem.
    Any help!?! Please! This is important to me as I do color work for print and I need to see colors accurately When I use my computer.

    I fixed it already. There was indeed a problem in the preferences. In my case I removed the whole preferences folrder to the desktop (which forces the computer to rebuild it fresh) and it worked fine! Then one at a time 'as it was needed, I put back the preferences for other applications (mail, itunes etc). Turns out no preferences was better than whatever corrupted preference was in there causing the problem. You know what I mean. If no preferences are there the applications start over building it new automatically. So it was like a preferences restart. sorta.
    Unfortunately, since I dont have applecare I had to spend 50 bucks on the phone with apple to figure this out. It's amazing how long it took them to actually pinpoint the problem. Hopefully if anyone gets that error in the future they'll find this post on google and save some bucks.

  • I cant use facetime. but my sister can. we share the same account for itunes.but when i go to face itme and click on create a new account a blank screen pops up. what do i do?when i go to make a new facetime account nothing comes up

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    i bought a second hand ipod 5 and the original owner forgot the email and password and i can't restore the ipod and it says i need the original apple ID but i dont know it could anyone help me??

    If you can access the device: Tap Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings.
    If you can't do that then you need to Restore it as New:
    Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
    1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
    4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
    5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
    6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
    You can also try using DFU mode:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • Where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project?

    where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project?  I just ordered two copies of a calendar I designed in iPhoto and was surprised to find that the calendar's months were printing in something like an Arial 10 pt font.  On previous calendars I've printer via iPhoto and Apple, the font was much larger.  I've tried every menu option in iPhoto and the Calendar Project program and can't find where this is modifyable. Which leads me to ask, what the heck happened here in the first place?  I did not consciously change the default.
    I do remember that I got some notice when I first tried to print the calendar about the default font having been changed, but I don't know how this could have happened, and I didn't know what impact that had on the calendar until it was delivered.  I typically print about a dozen annual calendars but won't buy another until I've got a handle on this problem.  For the most part, the rest of the calendar is okay.
    As a P.S. is there anywhere where one can get a power user's manual, or instruction on iPhoto?

    "Maximum" and "12" usually refer to compression (influencing image quality and jpeg file size in bytes); and as Curt wrote, dpi is meaningless for display by and viewing in web browsers.  (It could be a different matter if you are uploading the jpeg files for someone to download from the web to print.)
    What are the sequence of steps that you and your batch processing take from Bridge?
    You can use call Photoshop's Image Processor from Bridge to create the jpeg files  (Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor).  In the Image Processor you can set jpeg compression, pixel dimensions if desired, also convert to sRGB (good idea for web display).  In my experience the image processor leaves unchanged whatever dpi is set in the source file; or, if none there as might be for a pdf, it will set the dpi value in your New Document Preset Print Resolution (from your Photoshop Units & Rulers preferences).
