Can I use my Mac without a battery?

Can I use my Mac without a battery? Can I just plug it to a power source and use it lidat?
Also, if the battery runs low when I am using it, can I just plug it to a power supply to let it charge while I continue using it?
Thank you!

Yes, you can use your Mac when charging, although it`s a bit slower compared to being in sleep mode or so.
And about using without the battery, I suggest you read this http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305336

    Apple TV requires an HDTV. It is a media streamer and all content would be available on your Mac so there would be no reason to connect it anyway.

    can i use my mac on power supply when battery is fully charged??

    Keep the computer plugged in whenever possible.
    If you keep the computer always plugged in, make sure that twice a month
    run it on battery until battery level drops to about 50-40%.

  • How can i use my account without the billing info, as i do not have a credit card. and my shipping and billing info is under US. i'm in singapore. how do i change this?

    how can i use my account without the billing info, as i do not have a credit card. and my shipping and billing info is under US. i'm in singapore. how do i change this?

    If you are just visiting Singapore, then leave the account as it is. If you have moved there, then view your account using the iTunes app on a Mac or PC and change the country/region to your current location and address. If you do not have a bank card, you can fund your account using iTunes gift cards if available in Singapore.

  • Is it dangerous to use i-mac without front glasses to reduce mirror effect ?

    Hi,
    Is it dangerous to use i-mac without front glasses to reduce mirror effect ?
    Can i get more specifics what the front glasses does that can be easy removed ?
    best regards
    Adian

    The only thing that might be "dangerious" is that it would be much easier to damage the exposed display.
    But if you insist, look at iFixit.com (for example, here).  Or just google "removing glass on imac" to find other techniques.

  • Can I use my Mac book pro while downloading a tv series from iTunes?

    Can I use my Mac book pro while downloading a long tv series from iTunes?  Or will I lose my connection ? And my money?

    I use my MacBook Pro all the time when downloading something from the iTunes store without losing my connection. If you would probably depends on the general stability of your WiFi or LAN connection, but you should not.
    Also, if a download should get interrupted you can always start it again by going to "Downloads" in iTunes.

  • How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

    my wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the primary photo iCloud account and thus our shared photo system. We are running yosemite OS X 10.10 and iOS 8.0.2... Is there any way to do this?

  • HT2534 How can I use "Family Sharing" without giving details of my credit or debit card? I do not want to give my cards data, I have always used iTunes prepaid cards.

    How can I use "Family Sharing" without giving details of my credit or debit card? I do not want to give my cards data, I have always used iTunes prepaid cards.

    Hi Saramos,
    When setting up Family Sharing you must have a credit or debit card as your payment method. See this article for reference -
    Family purchases and payments
    When a family member makes a purchase it will be billed to any gift or store credit that they have first. If none exists it will be billed to you.
    As the family organizer, you may not set your billing method for purchases to anything other than a credit or debit card. If you have a store credit such as from pre-paid cards, it may not be shared with other family members. See this article for reference -

  • Can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod

    can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod?

    The SIM card is not required to use an iPhone as an iPod or to be used for anything else besides cell phone related services.
    For a no longer activated iPhone, the no longer activated SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated must be inserted in the iPhone in order to install an iOS update and for no other reason.

  • How can I use Office Update without the Office CD?

    How can I use Office Update without the Office CD? On the microsoft website I've clicked the options which mean I shouldn't need the CD (which wasn't supplied with the laptop), but poartway through updating the service pack I get a request for the Office 2000 Professional CD.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    Did you mean a Office or One Note?
    As far as I know the One Note is a part of the Recovering Image and the CD is not delivered with the unit. Furthermore the Toshiba units are not delivered with the Office 2000 software.
    Nevertheless, did you check the update function in the Help i.e. in Word?
    There you will find a options called Check for Updates

    I want to use a video projector with powerpoint can I use my mac to drive it- and what about sound?

    Hi Scott,
    You should be able to. If the projector has a speaker with acceptable sound, that's one option, otherwise powered speakers or a surround system.
    What connections does the projector have?
    Exactly which MBP do you have?
