Can using my Macbook Air (2014 13") while charging harm by battery?
I have Macbook Air 13inch. I want to know if I can use it while charging and what's better for the battery, charging it to 100% and unplugging or using it while it's connected to the electricity? I read something that it's not good for the battery. If it's possible can you please tell me what I should do for better battery life?
You certainly can use your MBA while it is charging. There will be no adverse affect on the battery.
Here are some Apple support articles on batteries and charging which you may find useful:

Would a MacBook Air start off the charger with the battery removed???
I have a MacBook Air that got wet. I replaced the DC-in and that didn't work.I disconnected the battery cable and connected the AC and the MagSafe LED flashes green at a rate of about once per second. It's also very faint, but you can see it in the dark.
I know it could be logic board, but is this also a sign of a dead battery?
In other words: if one disconnected the battery in a MacBook Air, would it still power on from just the AC?nocr wrote:
Yes, I'm aware. That's not what I was asking.
Well thanks for the points
I don't know whether it will start without battery, but under your circumstances I would not try until a week had passed with the MBA in a warm dry location, preferably upside down to try to move moisture away from the electrics -
Macbook Air 2014 is very slow after waking from sleep
Constantly, when using my Macbook Air 2014 without power cord (which I am required to do at College), when my laptop goes to sleep, and I then immediately click to wake it up, it takes at least 20 seconds before the log on screen will come up. The machine has also crashed twice in the past week. Is there a solution for this?
You posted in the iPad forum instead of the Mac Book Air forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/welcome I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

I want to use my MacBook Air as an external disk to my iMac. I talked to Apple care and we solved it by connecting a Thunderbolt cable between the two computers. I then turn on the MacBook Air while pressing the "T" and it works. I can sit and work on my iMac and grab/change/save the files that are in my MacBook Air EXCEPT for the Microsoft Office files. I called Microsoft and they can't solve it. They say it might be a problem with the Thunderbolt cable. Has anybody have this problem?
Both computers are 2011 and they both have Office 2011.
Thanks in advance,
AlejandraFor Word it says "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example, /)"
For Excel it says "the file could not be found. Check te spelling of the filename, and verify that the file location is correct. If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files on the File menu, make sure hat the file has not been renamed, moved or deleted.
I tried this with many different documents, and I always get the same message. -

Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?
Please take the Mac to Apple store to have it checked out.

Thank YouYes, but you must update to OS X Mavericks using the Mac App Store. When you do, you will see this icon in the menubar:
I hope I solved your question.

Can I use my Macbook Air 13" mid 2013 with plugging charger even at 100 % battery full charge?
I can't decide whether using My Macbook Air 13" mid 2013 with charging power adapter connected even though it is fully charged Or using Macbook Air with unplugging charger after fully charged. Please advice me to maintain my Macbook's battery at good condition.
It will not hurt it as long as you do not leave it on the charger for an extensive period of time (say, days).

Hi, Please let me know if i can connect my MacBook Air to sony led TV ex700 using a bluetooth device?
Your Macbook Air does have Bluetooth on it... so I would assume so.
Not idea what you are trying to do though, so can't be sure. -
I can only print the current page of downloaded pdf's. Not able to print "all". I'm using a Macbook air.
it says "the document could not be printed". "There were no ages selected to print".
I selected "all". I always tried selecting pages "1-3".
The only choice that works is current page. Very strange. -

Can older charger be used with MacBook Air?
Can older charger be used with MacBook Air? Charger with cylindrical magnetic male end was lost. Charger for older white plastic MacBook is available, but is it safe to use with MacBook Air.
You have to use the right power adapter.
You can order one from Apple store.

I am using a MacBook Air, OS X ver 10.9.4, mail ver 7.3. Intermittently I can not open individual mails when double clicking on them. I must go out of mail and back in before mail will open.
Hi Eric
Good idea, but I am still having the same problem.
Thanks very much
