Different batteries for work/home?

I have had trouble with my MBPro battery lately, and I'm checking out other threads, too, but I keep my laptop plugged in all day at work, so I was wondering if I should consider buying another battery for normal use at home, and use the current battery (charge holds for about 25 minutes) at work in case of power failure at the office.
Any suggestions? I'm looking into the battery update, too.
Thanks.

Have you noted the battery replacement programs by Apple? - As well as particular battery serial numbers, there can be replacement of a battery which is less than 80% of original capacity after fewer than 300 cycles. Check System profiler for your battery state.
There are those who recommend having a spare battery on hand so that you don't get so easily caught out. As you use your computer for work that is probably a wise course of action.

Happy Holidays. I have Adobe Actobat 7.0 Standard for quite a while, and I'm happy with it. I use it for mainly filings at the federal court. They require PDF. I use two computers in two different states for work. I realize my Adobe 7.1 is a few years

. I have Adobe Actobat 7.0 Standard for quite a while, and I'm happy with it. I use it for mainly filings at the federal court. They require PDF. I use two computers in two different states for work. I realize my Adobe 7.1 is a few years old, but sometimes I have difficulty using it with the other days downloading a boarding pass, and e filing at the USDC. . There's a problem with Adobe Flash, media, etc. and other Adobe programs, (which I use for downloading boarding passes for airlines, etc.) so basically I have to delete these other Adobe programs, besides the Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard if I want to 7.0 Standard to work. I periodically download the updates, but there's still a problem. My question is: Can or should I purchase another program to update the present Adobe Acrobat 7.0 standard, or just buy a new program such as the Adobe 11? Am I mistakenly doing something wrong, such as when I download? I'm an old valued customer so I don't want to spend a lot of money since I am replacing my Dell XP for a new computer now, and my other computer is a Dell Vista.
I'd appreciate your valued advice.

If you are getting a new computer (for a PC it would have Win 7 or 8), then you will need to purchase XI if you wish to continue using Acrobat. Acrobat 7 is not compatible with these systems (and probably the same for MAC systems), though sometimes workarounds are possible, though not easy to use. I guess the answer is to buy the new version. Try http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software _sl_mostpopular.html, click on the Buy for Acrobat, and then select the version you want.

Ipod nano conflicts- shows different names at work & home, won't open files

Hello.
I have just purchased a nano (after having been satisfied with my shuffle), but I continue to have problems with the device:
I already had the latest itunes software installed both at home and work. Originally, I was unable to transfer songs to my ipod/or back to my library. I took it to an apple store and the technician was able to troubleshoot the problem. He explained that there was a software glitch. Actually, the ipod was renamed at that point to something else. However, this has not solved the issues I continue to experience.
1) When connecting my nano at work, the name of the ipod is completely different than what it was from the APPLE store. It reads: HOME. When I open itunes, it appears that there are no songs at all. However, when I disconnect (safely remove hardware icon and then close itunes), there are plenty of songs on the ipod.
2) While at home, I can not transfer any new songs to my library from my ipod. the device remains black at all times, also showing a different name.
3) When trying to access my downloaded songs, I get authorization conflicts
4) I also have a shuffle and I'd like to transfer songs from the shuffle to the nano, but I can't pull any songs from it?
What is going on? Why can I not see my songs at work in itunes? I reset and everything. Why is it named HOME?
I don't want to lose the songs that i have on the system.
PLEASE advise, I have had this for 2 weeks and not being able to really use it is frustrating!
Thanks.

incremental progress!
okay, these resources might be of some help with shifting music between the two computers:
Using iPod with multiple computers
Transferring songs to iPod using iTunes
Copying music between authorized computers with iTunes for Windows

Different fields for mobile/home phone gone in 4.0

In the older version, when you added a contact, you had the option of selecting home phone, work phone, mobile, etc. In 4.0, that seems to be gone, and the only field is for mobile. Am I missing something? Do you have to add separate contacts for home and mobile?

You tap the word 'mobile' and a list of possible fields appears.
And, of course, you can add more fields for more numbers and do the same

I have an Ipad 2 and use it for work, I want to run a second account for home, how do I do this?

What kind of accounts? Multiple email accounts are supported.
Multiple user accounts are not.
If you are saying you would like to have one set of apps, media, etc
for work and a different set for home, and switch between the 2
depending on network login or location, this is not a feature of iOS.

I have two time capsules, one for work and one for home, how do I set up the work time capsule to only back up my work files?

You cannot have two different TC setups.. at least until Mountain Lion.. it did introduce some changes but I am not sure if you can setup two different configurations for TM.. you can use two different devices to back up to. I doubt this will help you.
You might be better using a real backup software.. superduper, CCC, chronosync etc.
The TC by default is available to any Mac in the network to do backups. TM will sort itself out and put each computer on a different backup. These are kept in separate sparsebundles.. so that is all fine.

Maintaining two separate calendars - one for work, one for home...

I have the original iphone with all the updated software. I am currently running 2.1. I was very encouraged by the fact that the iphone now supports different calendars, however I cannot figure out how to do so.
I would like to use Outlook 2003 at work to maintain my work appointments and then I would like to use Google, or Outlook 2003 (anything would be fine, I just do not want to pay $100 just to get a calendar) at home - anything to post my personal items on.
I do not mind if my work items are posted to my personal calendar at home (in an Outlook folder called "home"), but I do not want the reverse. I do not want personal appointments posted on my office calendar.
I got it set up that way on my home Outlook, but when I got to work and tried to sync my phone, it created a weird third calendar even though I selected the option only sync the main calendar (called calendar on both my home computer and my work computer).
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

IPhone 4: Setting different ringtones for contacts not working.

I can't add personal ringtones for each contact. I have followed all contact editing info to the letter, yet I still only get the same one ringtone for each contact (the default ringtone I set for the phone). Setting different ringtones for text messages works fine, but not for telephone contacts. Is this feature broken? Is anyone else having this issue? Thanks.

It happened to me also when I first added specific ringtones to contacts, but just turning the phone off/on fixed it for me. You can try a reset also if that doesn't work (hold down the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the Apple logo comes up)

Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

Is Aperture 3 the best software for working on a databse of images from different photographers?

Hi everybody,
I have only been using Aperture for a few months and am unsure of its suitability for this project.
It seems to me that Aperture is designed for the photographer who wants to work on his own photos. I need to select, re-name, add metadata, keyword & eventually improve photos & re-size photos to be used on a website. Photos come from all over the world & different copyright names & rights.
In my previous job, I used XnView for PC for the selection, renaming & metadata process & Extensis Portfolio for adding keywords & Photoshop for working on technical improvements, I would like to know whether somebody out there uses Aperture (3) for much of this process.
Can you share an ongoing project over 2 different computer owned by 2 different people in Aperture 3 updating each simultaneously?
I will work on some photos on my computer and other photos at my client's house. I presume that I will have to export the photos that I work on on my computer to my USB stick in order to be able to read the information that I have saved on my computer on her computer??. It seems that even if one chooses to save photos to the original file and thus work on 'managed masters', it doesn't save over the original file. I have just done some more work on this photo database on my computer I decided to save to 'referenced master', ie: the aperture library.
However, when I want to continue working on this big project, I want to update the aperture photo library on my client's Aperture library, do I have to export the work I have done in my computer in Aperture to my USB stick and then re-import on the other computer to keep all the images up-to-date, this will be an ongoing situation. Can this work? I cannot see a way of joining the Aperture library from 2 computers in another way.
I have just read this article: http://www.apertureexpert.com/tips/2010/2/12/aperture-3a-game-changer-multiple-m acs-syncing-projects-more.html
It's very good but, I still don't understand how to take my edited images worked on in Aperture from my computer to my client's one. Do I have to connect the computers and if so how is this done?
I have also read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7863
If I want to constantly update each Aperture library when switching computers, do I have to follow this procedure of exporting the photos as a library from one computer to another with the updated images?
I really appreciate any clear help I can get from this forum.
Thank you in advance!

Aperture would be fine for a single editor editing images from multiple photographers. It would not work well (if at all) for multiple people trying to edit the same library.
so the answer to this:
Can you share an ongoing project over 2 different computer owned by 2 different people in Aperture 3 updating each simultaneously?
is no.
I will work on some photos on my computer and other photos at my client's house.
The images at your client's house will be from where? Will the client have Aperture running in the house on there computer?
Apart from those two the rest of your post is a bit impenetrable.
But a few thoughts you can mull over:
You could put the Aperture library on an external drive and carry the drive between locations. If you wanted to leave the library of a part of the library there you could copy to the clients drive (if you're leaving the whole thing) or else export the projects/albums/images as a library and have the client import that into there library (or just run it as a standalone library)

Logic's preference files may have become corrupted:
1. Quit Logic Pro
2. In the Finder, press and hold down the "option" key then select "Library" from the "Go" menu
3. Open the "Preferences" folder
4. Drag the following files to the Trash:
    - com.apple.logic.pro.cs
    - com.apple.logic.pro.LSSharedFileList.plist
    - com.apple.logic.pro.LSSharedFileList.plist.lockfile
    - com.apple.logic.pro.plist
    - com.apple.logic.pro.plist.lockfile
These files will be re-created when Logic is next opened.
