I leave my BB on all the time,

I heard it was bad for battery life.  I almost never turn it off.  I plug it in every night at bedtime regardless of battery strength. 

These days batteries are using some advanced technologies. If your leave your battery on the elec socket overnight then usually no damage is occurred. When the battery become full the charging adapter stop passing charge to the battery. This is common for most of the electronic devices of this era. But there is one precondition...you must and must use original charging accessories.

  • Do I need to leave location services on all the time to use the "Find my iPhone" app?

    Do I need to leave location services on all the time to use the "Find my iPhone" app?

    The Find My IPhone app is used to find OTHER lost devices, it does nothing to make your device "findable".  To make it findable, you must turn on "Find My IPhone" in settings. And than you need location services on.  This however does not guarantee that you'll always find it if lost. A thief can set it to factory settings, even remove the sim card. Then it'll be unfindable.

  • Leaving Macbook Pro on all the time (as a desktop)

    Hey guys, I have a 2010 Macbook Pro 17" and I'm thinking about transitioning it to a more sedentary lifestyle and turning it into my desktop. I currently use a PC as my home desktop, but it's old, slowing down, and uses Windows.
    I have a few questions as I consider this move.
    1) Will I need to keep the screen open on the laptop all the time? I think that MBPs dissipate their heat through the front/keyboard, so if I do find a workaround to keep it closed all the time, will my laptop overheat?
    2) If I leave my MBP on all the time and plugged into an outlet constantly, will that drain my battery? I like keeping my main desktop on all the time as I do a lot of downloading, use it as a media server, and also like to access my desktop remotely. For the rare instance I want to unplug the MBP from the desktop setup, will I have any battery left to use?
    The reason why I ask is because I'm thinking about two main options. The new iMacs are rumored to be coming out by the end of this month and I might just get that to replace my PC. However, I am thinking about holding off for the next generation of Macbook Airs (whenever that is) and just purchasing that, while turning my current MBP into a functional desktop. What is the downside of the using a MBP as a desktop instead of an iMac?
    Please let me know what you guys think and recommend, and if anyone else uses this setup, please let me know how it is! Thanks!

    1. Yes, it's possible to close the lid and keep the computer going - there are several threads on this if you search.
    Although the MBP vents out the back when the lid is closed, heat does dissipate through through the top (meaning around the keyboard/speakers/trackpad/etc) also. Feel with your the top of your hands the aluminum when you computer is working hard and you will feel the heat - closing the lid will limit this heat escaping to a degree. So while it's likely fine to run the MBP with the lid closed, if it were me I would raise the lid up a few inches when the computer is using high CPU or the fans are working hard. (By the way, if you've been to an apple store, you will see that their laptops are fitted with little plastic bumpers so that when the lid is closed it doesn't close all the way - it could be to prevent sleeping, but instead of modding all their computers they could have just turned off sleep on lid close.)
    2. As previously stated, it is good to power cycle your battery every month or so to keep it healthy. This is the nature of Li-ion batteries. Just unplug it and let it "die" once and a while. Leaving it plugged in most of the time won't destroy your battery.
    Regarding iMac : It may have a better screen than whatever you currently have - they are stunning. Additionally, the current iMacs are more powerful than your 2010 MBP. But if you do decide to go that direction, I would agree that it may be best to wait till the iMacs come out with the improved Sandy Bridge i7's. If you don't need much horsepower, any of the 3 options will work - why not try out your 2010 MBP as your desktop for a bit and see how you like it, in the meantime you can see when the iMac comes out and compare that to your MBP desktop replacement/new MB Air idea.

  • Does leaving macbook air on all the time (while plugged in) to download torrents degrade battery life?

    Does leaving macbook air on all the time (while plugged in) to download torrents degrade battery life?

    You have a lot of things going on here...you are keeping the Air plugged in all the time, you should run on the battery periodically to give it some exercise, you are keeping it on all the time which may be keeping it under constant or near constant load, and you are doing all of that to download pirated content, for which you will get no help on here.

  • Any problem leaving my MacBook on all the time for the new AppleTV?

    I now have two new AppleTVs, both of which Home Share with my one MacBook.
    Home Sharing only works when my MacBook is powered up and iTunes is running.
    Questions are...
    Is there a problem with leaving my MacBook plugged in and turned on all the time? Battery health?
    Is there any way to make iTunes Home Sharing work with the cover closed?
    Suggestions?

    I'll clarify my questions. I am using my MacBook the same way you would use a home computer, like a MacPro or a MacMini. I have it hooked to a home TV and I use a bluetooth keyboard and magic pad to operate it. It just sits next to the TV like cable box does.
    Issue #1) My MacBook is plugged in and turned on all the time, 24/7. This is not a problem for a MacPro or MacMini since neither one has a battery, so my first questions are: Will this destroy the battery's ability to maintain a charge when I do occasionally use my MacBook as a portable? Also, could this be a fire hazard since laptop batteries tend to get warm?
    Issue #2) With the cover closed, the MacBook continues to operate as long as it is receiving periodic input from the keyboard or trackpad. However, once the TV that it is connected to is turned off, the MacBook goes to sleep since it's no longer hooked to a display, either it's own (cover closed) or the TV monitor (turned off). Next question is: Is there any way to keep this MacBook and iTunes operating in this condition (turned on, but cover closed and TV monitor off) so that I can continue to HomeShare with the other AppleTVs in the house?

  • Can i leave to mac on all the time? does any one have issues with speakers or camera not turning on?

    this is a thought I have can i leave it on all the time does it reduce the life of the computor or should i turn off daily? Also have an issues when I do tturn t on 2 times out of ten the speaker or camera does not turn on and I have to reboot again. then it works

    Apple recommends leaving your computer turned on 24/7 unless you will be away from it for several days. Read the manual that came with your computer and you will find that documentation. It's good practice to put the display to sleep (System Preferences - Energy Saver) when its not being used.

  • Can I leave my computer on all the time?

    I just bought a Magic Jack which allows me to make telephone calls by turning my USB drive into a phone jack. However, my computer must always be on in order to receive and make phone calls. Is it harmful to my computer to leave it on all the time?

    Can I leave it on 24/7 without putting it in sleep mode? Pros? Cons? Will screen saver be enough to save the monitor? Will I notice it on my electricity bill?
    Barry,
    Sure that's no problem. To make the change go to System Preferences - Energy Saver - Computer Sleep - Never - set the Display Sleet to the desired setting.
    I'd also recommend check the box that says *Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible*
    Pro's your problem will go away
    Con's none really. you electric bill increase should be a matter of pennies, check it over the next couple of months after making the change. I've always set my iMac to this setting and find it works perfectly.

  • Do i have to leave my computer on all the time

    do you have to have the computer, where you i tunes is located, on all the time?
    If I don't, Apple TV doesn't keep the photos i've allowed to be shared on Itunes, and i have to restore it.
    I am getting tired of restoring my apple t.v.. I want to go back to Roku.
    Tell me why I shouldn't.

    If you are using home sharing then yes. Only photos used for the screensaver are temporarily cached, nothing else is stored. There is no need to restore the unit in order to view photos from your computer's library.

  • I have an HP C6280 all in one. Can I leave my printer on all the time so it is ready to go?

    Everytime that I am done using my printer I turn it off.  In a nearby business place they have many printers and I was told that they never turn them off, even when the employees go home for the night.  [Same with PC's]  When my printer is turned on it goes through a preperation mode which renders it unusable for several minutes.  Not a really big deal, but I wondered...Does it hurt to leave printers on 24-7 just like PC's?  Thanks, Joe

    HI,
    You should be able to just leave it on, it should have a sleep mode which it will enter after a while.

  • Can I leave Powerbook on all the time and music pauses when disc ejects.

    I have had an imac at home for the last 4 years and always left it asleep when not using it so I could acces my itunes quickly. I have just upgraded to a Pbook G4 17" and am concerned now that I may not be able to leave it on. I read Apples guide to battery use and they say not to leave it plugged in all the time. I thought this was a machine that could be used all the time? Am i safe to leave it plugged in asleep through the day and night with say 3 to 4 hours use in the evening?
    Also, when listening to itunes and i eject a disc the music pauses for a moment. I use a G5 at work and my old imac never did this. Someone I work with has the same Pbook but 15" and hers doesnt pause.
    Can any one help with these 2 issues? Love my Pbook but these couple of things are taking the shine off it. Thanks for an informative forum.

    It is OK to leave your PowerBook on (plugged in) but remember to use your battery once in a while. Lithium-based batteries have to be used. Fully discharging and recharging the battery every two weeks should be OK.
    An alternative is removing your battery with a 50% charge. Apple suggests this if you don’t plan on using your battery for more than six months.

  • Leaving the printer on all the time

    I just purchased a C309g Photosmart Premium AIO printer.  I did a search but couldn't find an answer.  Is it ok to leave my printer on all the time, or should it be turned off?  Thanks in advance.

    It should't hurt anything, Just use a small amount of electricity .  My Piece of junk "all in one"  wont even turn off - I have to unplug it, so it stays on all the time!

  • AppleTV and iTunes without Leaving Computer On All The Time/NAS iTunes Server

    I begrudge having to leave my iMac on all the time just so now and again I can play music, pictures and video from it through AppleTV. My iMac is 2 floors up from the AppleTV, and as there is no wake on LAN working (I can't get it to work if there is (I have Lion)) I don't want to go up there to turn the Mac on when I want to use AppleTV.
    So I have read some articles about iTunes servers on NAS drives and wondered if that would be a good solution, anyone try them?
    If I did have my iTunes library on a NAS drive with an iTunes server, when I start iTunes on my iMac will it then load the iTunes Library as it does now like if it was a local library? So I can still manage it in the same way as I do on my Mac.
    I assume then I could have another computer use the same library on the NAS? (although wont do it the same time due to conflicts)
    I have iCloud/Match so not so bothered about music as I can play from the Cloud (although its hit ad miss sometimes), but I have videos and pictures I stream to AppleTV so they are more important. I don't want to have a computer left on all the time so I can use AppleTV.
    If this is not possible, then I am thinking of getting a Macbook for the lounge, but then I don't want to have to plug/unplug my external hard drives into it all the time, which I am likely to swap with the main iMac too.
    Thanks a lot

    P.S. I only play music from iCloud as my iMac is not on. So if I can stream to AppleTV without having a computer on, then I would do that to be faster, work all the time, and save bandwidth.

  • Should TouchPad be left on all the time? Battery life?

    Hello, sorry if this question has been asked before but I have searched this forum (before asking this question) and could not find an answer. Is it recommended to leave your TouchPad on all the time (which I have been doing) or should it be turned off like I do with my PC every night?
    Also, what is the typical battery life of the TouchPad and once the battery fails can we replace the battery or is that the end of life for our TouchPad too?
    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide me in answering my questions.
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    There is no harm leaving the device "on", but I'm assuming you mean letting the screen go blank when not being used.
    Since the device is still relatively new, I'm not sure how long the battery will last.  I still have Palm PDA's that work like new after 7 years.  I treat them like a pet - feed them each night, and use a cover to keep them safe.
    The batteries in the old devices weren't user-servicable, but many users and websites were able to change them out.

  • My powerbook G4 12" wont wake up after sleep anymore all the time!

    Hi there
    I've got a problem with my 12 " pb. quite often it wont wake up anymore after sleeping mode. I then press the "p", "r", comand, and "alt" together with the power button and usually that works. sometimes I need to do that 3 or more times untill it finally starts up again. I ran the hardware test, repaired everything I could but it still does it and I cannot figure out why.
    Do you have any ideas what could cause this problem and if so what I could do to solve it?
    Thank you very much

    Luca:
    If you leave your computer on all the time and allow it to sleep instead of shutting it down, you should completely shut it down every now and then (I do this weekly) and then start up in Safe Mode, log in, empty Trash and Restart normally and log in.
    Let me know if this helps.
    Cheers
