ANOTHER battery question (sorry!)

Hey Guys,
Having read other posts on here, I'm not sure why my battery keeps dying! After about eight minutes my mac just dies on me, and when put in the charger, will come back to life. I've pasted battery information below, but have a pretty low cycle count, any suggestions ? Thanks in Advance !!! Adam.
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 2791
Fully charged: Yes
Charging: No
Full charge capacity (mAh): 2791
Health Information:
Cycle count: 315
Condition: Fair
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): -572
Voltage (mV): 12045

Well I take it out of the charger and try to check my email! - Spoke to someone at the Apple shop today and apparently leaving it in the charger means I've got it 'death charging' ?? - he looked surprised at how little it lasted when i showed him the battery info (that I'd emailed to my iphone) - Fans do run, but not constantly, bottom is usually quite hot ! I also have bluetooth etc turned off and only wifi on, hence I don't get it!!

Another battery question thank you so much if you could help...

Sorry i didn't ask this in my other thread but i wouldn't get any replies if i did that lol... OK I wanna make sure Best Buy isn't giving me the old macbook pro for the price of the new one... In the System Profiler under Power it shows that my computer's battery has a maximum capacity of 6650 mAh... is that the charge capacity of the new macbook pro battery?? I just got this mac like 3 or 4 days ago... so far doing basic things like word processing the battery hasn't lasted more than 3 or 4 hours with the brightness at minimum and using the lower power nvidia 9400m... thank you so much if you could help me confirm that I do have the new macbook pro model and battery so I can stop worrying about this lol

Hi bodyboarder3452,
Another easy way to tell is from the external, bottom enclosure. Do you have a latch door on the bottom that allows you easy access to the HD and a removal battery? If not then you have the model with the "built in" 7-hour battery. The FCC definitely would seem to indicate that you have the 7-hour battery, as the typical FCC of the previous generations was more in the ~5500mAh range.

Another battery Question - Please help!

Ok, this is probably going to be a dumb question, but I might as well ask it...On the 30GB Video iPod- it says up to 14 hours of play, when it comes to battery life. Now obviously, I think that means, if you leave your iPod on and not turn it off, it will last 14 hours as far as playing music is concerned, right? I only ask because I use my iPod at the gym and what I do is play music from one playlist, have the backlight set at 2 sec., EQ is off and then play the music on the playlist for 1.5 hours until my workout is done. Then, the next day, I do the same thing. I've noticed that over 5 days, playing my iPod while I work out for 1.5 hours per workout, the battery lasts for about 9 hours total. Does that sound about right? Basically, I'm wondering if my battery is defective or not. Should it last 14 hours total before it needs to be re-charged?

Well, I do go by the meter, but actually, when the meter is in "red," it lasts me about 2+ hours. When the iPod completely dies, as in music stops playing - I try to restart it, but nothing happens, so I guess my iPod at that time truly does "die out" as far as battery life is concerned...
But I guess what I was originally asking is this: the first time I charged my iPod, I charged for 5 hours. Then, I took it to the gym, played a playlist for 1.5 hours and then turned it off for the night...I did this same routine for 5 straight days. Then, after 9 hours of total play, *i.e., 1.5 hours x 5 days/5 workouts = 9 total hours before the battery died. Is this normal? Or am I suppose to get more life out of my battery?
Thanks again for your help!

Another noob question - Sorry; I'm new to this - Windows and Xserve

Are Windows machines supported on networks powered by Xserve? Powered? You know what I mean.

Hi
I think I know what you mean? However:
+"networks powered by Xserve?"+
Makes no real sense? An XServe is dedicated Server hardware. What makes it a server more than anything else is the Software installed - OSX Server. Perhaps your question should be: "Does OSX Server/XServe support PC Clients?" The answer is yes. Samba/CIFS/NT Services have been available on all versions of Apple Server OS going right back to IP Manager. If you want to go beyond this and ask the question: "Does OSX Server behave just like Active Directory?" The answer is not really. It can provide Network based Profiles but that's about it as there is nothing built-in that resembles Global Policy Objects (GPOs). OSX Server can and does provide DHCP and DNS Services along with a host of other Services mostly specific to the Apple platform but not exclusively so.
To begin to understand what OSX Server is capable of:
http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/specs.html
http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/technology/
http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/features/
You could also have a stab at the host of Admin Manuals that Apple make available:
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macosxserver
Ultimately a better question might be: "What is OSX Server going to give you that you're not going to get from an equivalent Windows Server?" If your focus is providing/maintaining front-line core services for a pre-dominantly Windows PCs environment then purchasing a platform that is designed to support a different client OS is probably the wrong way to go?

Another KT4 Question (sorry)

It states that it will goto 8x agp, when i go into the bios it only goes upto 4x, and in the user's guide it says 1x,2x,& 4x agp.

Another newby question -- sorry

Hi All,
I've composed a sequence which has regular fonts --- the fonts are black, with a transparent background. When I export, I just see a black screen in quicktime. I want to import this into Final Cut --- any ideas? How do I get it to display just the black characters?

You won't see the text if you view the file in QuickTime Player.
Import your LiveType movie into FCP and superimpose on the background. It should composite automatically.
If you have LiveType version 1.2 or higher, you can import the project file directly into FCP and treat it exactly as if it were a video clip. No need to render a movie first.

Another RAM question / sorry haha

Hi
I operate an early 2008 MacPro im going to upgrade.
I currently have 4GB of RAM - 4 x 1GB sticks.
I could simply buy 4 extra sticks of 1GB which fills up the 8 slots - all being matched and evenly distributed across the risers etc.
What i was wondering, what if i was to get 2 x 2GB sticks -
would i install the 2 x 2GB on the spare 2ports on riser A, OR
Do i install the 2x2GB on riser A and move the 4 x 1GB on B, OR
Do i leave the 4 x 1GB across the 2risers and install a 2gb stick on A and the other on B - is that a matched pair?
As you can see - even with all the memory posts in this forum im still no clearer in my own situation, if anyone could be kind enough to point me in the right direction it would be greatly appriciated.

Hiya and wlecome to Apple discussions.
I found a discussion (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=421391) that it saying in essence that a matching (suitable) pair of RAM sticks should be installed at the bottom (moving the exisiting ones up, if need be - but you should have free slots); you can find out by going to the Apple in your finder bar, clicking "About This Mac" and then "More Info"; under "memory" (in the new window) it will tell you the empty slots.
The memory wiring diagramme was here:

Another newbie question (sorry)---Please recommend a good training book?

And where to order?
Thanks.

All these books are great - and I've read them all and done the exercises. But I have to put in my 2 cents and recommend Larry Jordan's book and web site. The book is well written and understandable. His web site is full of great tips, and his free monthly e-mail newsletter is great. Now, he has a new newsletter called Edit Well published in conjunction with Peachpit Press.

Good Luck! And welcome to Final Cut!

Another newb question: multiple virtual servers

Hi, I have yet another ignorant question. I have several unrelated web projects that I am working on, and I would like to be able to set up a virtual server for each one for testing purposes, such as: http://project1, http://project2, http://project3. Can someone tell me if this is doable, and if there are any tutorials/resources on this for someone who has 0 experience running a web serer? Sorry for being so ignorant!

Yes, it is doable.
You can setup virtual server either by IP or by name.
If you have one IP, and want to set them up by name (ex. http://project1, http://project2, http://project3) you can do so easily with this type of configuration:
<virtual-server>
    <name>mydomain</name>
    <http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
    <host>*.mydomain.com</host>
    <document-root>/www/domain</document-root>
</virtual-server>
<virtual-server>
    <name>myotherdomain</name>
    <http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
    <host>*.myotherdomain.com</host>
    <document-root>/www/myotherdomain</document-root>
</virtual-server>
....The important part here is that
a) all virtual servers share the same HTTP listener
b) which virtual server serves the request depends on the $HOST request header send by the client. Sun Web Server does the matching for you. It will match $HOST vs. the virtual server's host attribute. Depending on which site you connect to the right virtual server will be used.
c) if the $HOST request header does not match any of the virtual servers, then the default virtual server defined in the HTTP listener will be used.
To create a virtual server, use the Admin GUI, access the configuration, and then add new virtual server. Or use the following CLI command.
wadm> create-virtual-server --config=myconfig --http-listener-name=http-listener-1 --document-root=/www/docs/myserver.com --host-pattern=myserver.com --log-file=../logs/myserver.com-error_logs myserverHost pattern will be used for matching. Some of this elements might be optional.
Hope that helps. And keep the questions coming :D
Edit: Also check the documentation

HP Touchpad with battery question mark

Hi ,
my HP Touchpad shows battery question mark symbol, what should i do ?
Thanks in advance
Regards ermoberlin
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hold the Power button to attempt to turn the TP off.
When the TP is off, press and hold the power and volume up buttons.
The TP should power on and display the USB trident symbol.
At that point you're in USB mode and should be able to use webOS Doctor 3.0.5 I suggest using WebOS Doctor to reset the TP to its delivered condition
The forum with the greatest amount of resources for the HP Touchpad is the HP WebOS Forum. I highly recommend joining that forum.
This nicely written and illustrated standard Touchpad troubleshooting tutorial is at the WebOS forum.

Another simple questions

Hello friends:
Another simple question: I need to learn things about Oracle on my desktop.
My machine runs Windows 98. Oracle has some desktop product of its Database Line?
For example: Oracle Personal?
And Oracle Lite? What's the main difference between Oracle Personal and
Oracle Lite?
Thank You

1. I didn't know the answer to your first question, but I googled it and it says the item is the in-call audio boost.

2. isn't this setting determined by the carrier? So it's not a setting in the phone, but when you call in to your voicemail you can change your options?

Dumb question about cycling a battery. Sorry!

I just received by new mac book pro replacement battery today and I have some questions regarding it. First of all, my original battery lasted 2 yrs, 2 mos. I purchased another apple battery for my 15 inch mac book pro (computer originally purch. Aug. 2007). I've seen on these boards that I'm supposed to "cycle" the battery once a week to get the maximum life out of it. I think a cycle means using the battery until it's power is used up and then charge up to 100% again. Is that right? Anyway, my question is, "What is the proper care for this new battery? Does it damage it to have it plugged in when it is fully charged? Or should I always keep it unplugged and use the battery until it runs out and then charge it again? And what does it mean to cycle it once a week, if I'm already using the battery and recharging it when needed?" Sorry if these are dumb questions. I'm not really computer savvy! Thanks.

You should use the battery for a while every day but not drain it right down, before re-connecting the power and re-charging it to 95%+ this is not a complete cycle but partial/normal cycling.
_Every couple of months_ you should re-calibrate the battery which means you keep using it until it goes into emergency sleep itself (you will see a warning then 5 minutes later it will go off by itself) and then _leave it in this state for at least 5 hours_ before you re-connect the power supply and fully charge it (without unplugging) - this is a proper re-calibration.

Another resolution question.....sorry

Thanks to Zac and Bogie for helping me out with the whole resolution questions but I do have one more....sorry. Do I need to log and capture in FCP in order to import the file into compressor to change the codec or is there another way? Maybe direct from the camera so it doesn;t get any more compressed than it is?
Thanks again for putting up with me
Rick

If you shot on DV, for example, capturing it isn't compressing more. It is what it is. You shot it DV, it is DV. What's on the tape isn't "better" than what gets captured to your hard drive.
Anyway, yes, you have to capture or ingest the footage or have some sort of existing movie file to put it into Compressor. You can't take it from the camera directly.
