Having my macbook charged and ready for school

So 3 days a week I need to wake up and have my macbook on a full charge so I can use it to take notes with while in school. What's the best way to charge it without wearing down the battery? Should I plug it in before I go to bed and maybe have a scheduled shutdown 2 hours later? Any suggestions will be appreciated..
-Gavin

Honestly it probably won't matter much how you do it. Do what works best for you. As long as you're not leaving it charging for long periods of time or you're not using much of the charged capacity repeatedly then you're not going to cause any more than normal "wear" on the battery.

I just bought a macbook pro and qualified for the free Mountiain Lion update. How do I download the software on my laptop now that I've received the password for the content code file.

I recently purchased a macbook pro and qualified for the free Mountain Lion update. Now that I've received the very long content code from Apple, where do I go to enter this information? Is there a link within apple.com? This is my first apple computer so I'm not a proficient user. Thank you

Sign into the App Store with your Apple ID. App Store should be in the Dock.

Is MS exchange the only way to keep mail synced across all devices? Can Mac mail do this without exchange? I have iPhone,iPad and new MacBook Pro, and looking for advice please.

As Bob says, any iMap service can do this. GMail can, iCLoud mail can too.
Both of these can be used with Mail on any device.

How can I have one thing open in Safari on my MacBook Pro and search for another thing in Safari without closing out of the other? For instance, How can I leave Pandora playing while I search Facebook?

With Safari open use the Command + T keyboard shortcut to open a new tab.
Or, Command + N to open a new window.

Im completely new to Mac. Im swapping my windows laptop for macbook pro and looking for network storage solution which the Time Capsule seems to do. Is it possible to use this as NAS for my desktop Windows PC - windows 7

Im completely new to Mac. Im swapping my windows laptop for macbook pro and looking for network storage solution which the Time Capsule seems to do. Is it possible to use this as NAS for my desktop Windows PC - windows 7

Broadly speaking I want some sort of network storage( wireless or through my existing wifi router) that I can access files for both my windows PC and Macbook and also to access files to my iPad/ iPhone. Some sort of backup and sychronisation so that I can access certain files remotely.
Buy a real NAS.. synology or QNAP are the standard... although companies like Netgear and Western Digital and Seagate make them as well.
There is no problem sharing between Mac and PC now.. you do not even need a NAS to do that.. you simply share the hard disk directly. Mac talk SMB.. everything talks SMB nowadays.. so it is easy.
ipad and iphone are not designed to use NAS.. they are designed to backup only to the cloud or itunes.. but you can load an app like file browser if you want.

Remote access to the Apple TC is somewhere between difficult, to impossible from a PC.. Apple use BTMM and iCloud but the service is not offered to PC.
A real NAS will offer HTTPS or SFTP or several other methods.. that both Mac and PC can use.
You simply plug it into the current wireless router.. it is a network device and assessable over the network. It is not necessary to buy another router.. in fact that is a waste.

Load Matrix and ready for Editing

Hi,
How do I load a matrix and bind to a datasource and have multiples rows ready for editing?
I would usually bind the datasource follow by the columns but that doesn't make the rows editable.
Set oMatrix = oForm.Items.Item("1").Specific
Set oColumns = oMatrix.Columns
Set oDBDataSource = oForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Add("@TableName")
Set oColumn = oColumns.Item("No")
oColumn.DataBind.SetBound True, "@TableName", "U_ItemNo"
oMatrix.Clear
Please note, I am using VB6. Help appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, certanly, you can simply add one more row when user presses Enter (or Sh-Enter).
Just add the next condition into your ItemEvent-handler:
if (pVal.EventType == SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_KEY_DOWN)
     if
          pVal.ColUID == "Col1" &&
          pVal.Action_Success == false &&
          pVal.CharPressed == 13 &&
          pVal.Modifiers == SAPbouiCOM.BoModifiersEnum.mt_SHIFT // or mt_None
          tblItems.AddRow(-1, 0)

MacBook Air and PowerPoint for training sessions?

Undecided between 11" MBA or the new 13" MBP. Need any and all input. I have an iMac at home and want this for travel and training presentations, presenting PowerPoints (through a projector). Also occasionally need to connect via ethernet to web for part of presentations (and see the solution in USB for ethernet adaptor). Has anyone used the 11" MBA this way for any length of time, and your experience pro or con? Certainly would love to shed the weight, but I don't want to be caught short in some classroom or hotel ballroom. Thanks in advance.

Thank you... I've tested a floor model a number of times at the Apple store, but without Office installed. So I could not replicate having a sizable PowerPoint up. I was also looking for folks who may have given 1-2 hour programs using the MBA to see if there are issues. Most I would ever have open at once might be a browser, Word, PowerPoint, and run a .mov video. Recent years I've been using a MBP on former job and my great old 12" G4 pre-Intel Macbook (still cranking strong) on freelance gigs. Both will sometimes pause in the middle of big PowerPoint files. I agree on avoiding the arms race. And I would really like to shed the weight. I don't edit video, do big graphics, or game. Have had Macs since around 1990, including a bright orange clamshell iBook in my closet that still fires up even with no place to go, and a Newton that I managed to sell on eBay at one point. Those were the days. Thank you again.

Report and ready for input Query, with similar shadings are confusing

Some customers mix report and planning queries in their templates.
usually the shades for PLAN Queries are
o white - ready vor input
o blue- display data (e.g. LY, calc KPI)
In a Query with NO INPUT ready Cells the query has a zebra shading, blue and white, row by row.
That is confusion for users if they believe every Number on a white background can be changed.
Is it possible to change the shading for reporting queries to blue only?
Best Regards,
Georg

Hi.
You can cancel zebra by setting off for ALTERNATE_STYLES in properties if analysis item in WAD, BUT it sets all cells as WHITE and not blue.
I dont know how it will be usefull, but you may try ...

Macbook pro and Bootcamp for Windows 7 32bit

looking for advice re setting up Bootcamp with Windows 7 on my new Macbook Pro 13". Anything to be aware of???
Cheers

32-bit only uses 3.5 GB RAM max.
Home 64-bit uses at most 16 GB RAM.
Pro 64-bit uses at most 192 GB RAM.
2011 Macbook Pro can handle 16 GB RAM, and iMacs can handle 32 GB RAM.
If you want to be "future proofed", buy 64-bit Pro.
Unless you have already purchased 32-bit and do not want to lose the money invested.

Macbook Air and iPad for College/ General Use?

Hi all, I've recently gotten a tax rebate to the tune of £1500 pounds and since I'm returning to college in September I'd like to purchase a MacBook Air in order to have a way to take down notes in a far more efficient form. I currently own a 2010 iMac so I can used that for storage and entertainment meaning the MacBook doesn't need to be anything special in terms of performance.
I currently have two options that I'm interested in, buy an 11 inch MacBook Air (Don't need the 13 if I'm honest) and I'll have enough money to buy an iPad (for use as a Filofax/ E-Reader/ something to prat about on).
OR I could sink the money into a MacBook Pro (putting extra to it of course) and get more performance.
Or maybe there's a third option that I've missed? Any help would be appreciated and thank you in advance.

Seriously, look at the specs and price...
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shopmac/family/macbookair?afid=p219%7CGOUS&cid=OAS-US-KWG-CPUMacBookAir-US
Then compare... for example...
http://www.shopping.hp.com/notebooks
Or try dell.

Then ask yourself that question again.
You should be able to get a 6-9 cell quad core with 4-8gigs ram and a 64 bit OS for 1/3 the price of the core duo 2gig air. 9 cell battery is where your cost goes up, it's the difference between 9 hours (6 cell) and 13 hours (9 cell) of battery life.
But a quad core 4 gig 6 cell 64bit OS laptop will run you about $499 -$699. And it will bury the $1600 air 500 feet in the ground without breaking a sweat, all while watching p0rn, playing call of duty and streaming netflix as it digs the hole.
I guess the real question is, do you want to buy a computer to make a fashion statement, or do you want to buy a computer to use as a computer?

Mbox Mini and Logic for school. Question?

I am going to Fullsail in Orlando, Florida in Jan. 2008. They teach Pro Tools HD there, but just added Logic Pro to the Recording Arts program. I'm thinking of buying a mbox mini and Logic Express to get more familiar with both programs before going to school.
Will the mbox mini work as an interface for Logic? I'm just trying to avoid buying a separate interface. I'll buy one if I have to. What about the Emu 0202 USB ($129.00)?
Thanks for any and all help.

Thanks. I'm actually interested in post-production
audio. Sound design, editing, foley type sound
effects and the like. I'm a musician (drums, keys)
but have always had an affinity for the explosions,
door creaks, foot steps, and the "how did they make
that sound" type of stuff in movies and video.
I've heard great things about Fullsail. I'll have to
relocate there, but it's only 3 hrs. north of me. I'm
in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Thanks for all of the help.

Hi,
I undrlined the stuff you will probably be doing best in PT.Now I LOVE Logic,but the standard in studios for movies here in the USA is not Logic.It's ProTools.So learn that one first,as it is easier,and as you learn get through Logic.
Cheers

TS1702 I downloaded a free Merriam-Webster dictionary app for use on my iphone 5. I thought I executed the steps to download it properly...I do see it in my App Store 'purchased' list, but I don't see it actually activated and ready for use anywhere...he

I downloaded a free Merriam-Webster Dictionary app for use on my iphone 5. I thought I followed the download process properly, but cannot see that the app is launched on my phone. I have checked my phone for 'updates' and the app is listed among the ones I have purchased. I clicked on it and it began installing, however, it still has not launched. I get a message screen to sign in with my Apple ID, which I tried, and I get the message that I have purchased this app and it will download. When I try to sign in, I get the message that it can't connect to the itunes store and to retry. I've done that several times without any luck...not sure where else to look for the 'working' app. I did try re-booting the phone...even did a 'hard reset' to no avail...help?
