Is it ok to have a full battery kept in the charger in sleep mode?
Hey guys so im new to the Mac world but love my new 13 inch macbook pro with retina display.
I've been treating this laptop like my old toshiba for a while, meaning I drain it to about 20% and do i full charge but apparently the retina macbook has a lithium battery and "doesnt like it when you do that". My question is, should i leave my laptop constantly charging even if it is at a 100% and should it be charging when i close my mac lid and it goes to sleep mode. Thanks for the help in advance guys
Oh also should if i should be constantly charging my macbook, should i keep it at 90 to 80% and charge it from there and uncharge it when it reaches 100% to limit my cycle count??
Don't worry about it. However, I do not leave my computer (or any other device) connected to a charger after it hits 100%

Should I disconnect the charger once the battery is 100% full. Or can I use the laptop plugged even when the battery is full., Should I disconnect the charger once the battery is 100% full. Or can I use the laptop plugged even when the battery is full.
You can leave the charger plugged in, as you cannot overcharge...charging automatically stops when your battery is full. Once every 2 ~ 3 months, its a good idea to drain the battery to about ~ 40%, then recharge to full. Otherwise, you can charge whenever you like & leave connected whenever you like.
Try to avoid full battery discharges, Lithium batteries don't like that & frequent full discharge/recharge cycles will eventually kill your battery. -
Battery drain when laptop is in sleep mode - Windows 10
Hello everyone,after the upgrade to Windows 10, no matter what i try, but when i put the laptop in sleep mode the battery will drain overnight or, for a smaller amount of time, drops from 100% to 20%. Is there anything I can do? Between this and the Synatics problem, maybe i should've waited before upgrading to Win 10. Thank you!
Which Vista? Is it 32 or 64-bit?
There are BIOS updates available that address the restart issue. I highly recommend that you update to the current version (F.38)
Update the BIOS from within Windows and have the power adapter plugged in. Do not turn off the notebook until the update is complete!!
Run the hard disk diagnostic from within the BIOS or the HP Support Assistant.
Here is a link to the web support portal for your model notebook.
The BIOS update can be found in the Vista 32/64 Software & driver download section
Best regards,

I got a Macbook Air. My system language is russian but the login password is english. I put the laptop into sleep mode, then wanted to log in again, but the language seems to have switched to russian, there's no language change button! How do I log in now?
Severia,
I tried your solution, but it did not work with my laptop. After I restart the laptop, the language does not change and I cannot type the password in English language. Do you have any other suggestion?
Thank you. -
Since upgrading to LionEvery time I wake the computer from sleep mode I have to wait several minutes until the computer connects to the Internet
I have found that Lion is slower to connect to WiFi when awakening than were previous Mac OS X versions. However, the WiFi connection usually takes less than 15 seconds unless a Time Machine backup was interrupted when my computer was put to sleep. When this happens and the computer awakens, the Time Machine backup attempts to continue prior to the WiFi connection having been made. Until the Time Machine backup fails due to its inability to connect to my Time Capsule because of no WiFi connection, or I stop it manually, the WiFi connection will not occur. So if Time Machine backups are on, you may be experiencing this bug which I have reported to Apple.

Hi Guys 'n' Gals!
I have a problem with my computer not going into 'Display Sleep' mode but actually goes into full Computer Sleep mode. Anyone know how to keep my Mac running software and not go into full sleep after I have set it to 'Never' go into 'Computer Sleep' within the 'energy saving' section!
Any ideas guys?

Macbook air (11 inch) shows very low battery percentage when the charger is plugged in
My macbook air cannot be used when the charger is plugged in. The battery percentage will go all the way down to 0% very soon and the computer will shut down then. For example, it shows 1:40 left in the battery when I did not plug in the charger, but once I plug the charger in , it will show 0:43 left instantly. What might be the problem and how to resolve it?
PS: the macbook air can be charged when I shut it down. And it is no problem when the battery is not empty and the charger is not plugged in.Thank you very much. Here is the information:
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 4128
Cycle Count: 346
Condition: Normal
Any other suggestions?

Help!!sorry for very bad english
First try a reset, by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
If that fails, you can try restoring the iPad using Recovery Mode.

When my phone ran put of battery it went to 1% i charged it all night from a outlet, however in the morning it was still on 1%. So i switched it off to charge, it then said no charge. Then when i try to charge it no charge goes in! Even when plugged into my mac nothing happens, the phone displays the charging battery but the mac doesnt pick up on the phon ebing plugged in. help?!
Clean iPhone charging port with toothbrush. See if better. If not and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, Apple has battery replacement program which costs $80. If you go your own route, consider batter replacement and/or charging port replacement with attached flex cable, both are less than $10 parts.

You can try the following expect that I think you have a hardware problem and the Genius Bar is your only choice.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Today i was on my ipod then i locked it then i plugged it in to charge because it was only half battery and it just tuned off for no reason and it would not turn back on..... I tried the "solution" for it but it didnt work, if anyone could help that would be great!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have a mac mini which will not wake from sleep mode since installing yosemite.
The cursor moves when using a track pad and magic mouse, but I can't click on anything. Also computer always starts in safe mode now.
Am I the only one having this problem. I have sent the error messages to Apple, but have not seen any updates that might address this issue.
I now have to turn off the sleep function which don't seem right to me. Any advice would be appreciated.Hi ..

Does iTunes have to be installed to use the shuffle in disk mode?
I have read through the string titled 'Ipod only recognized as "unknown device" '.
I have the same problem, however I ran into an issue where iTunes would not start so I uninstalled the program.
I was wondering, does iTunes have to be installed or running for the shuffle to operate in disk mode ot should the shuffle act as a normal jump drive regardless?Also, I found this Apple article that relates http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303553. This is true for all Intel Macs, not just the Macbook Pro. It also confirms my earlier position, but is vague as to how much faster it is. Ideally, we'd all have 2 Gigs with paired 1 Gig modules.
A quick google search will reveal that the boost is fairly small, but noticable in situations where performance is limited by memory bandwidth. Keep in mind having less memory reduces performance signifcantly, if you run out of memory and more pageouts / virtual memory usage is required. Virtual Memory is orders of magnitude slower than regular memory, think Nanoseconds vs. Milliseconds.
So 1.25 Gigs might be better than 1 Gig for that reason, regardless of if its single-channel or dual-channel. It all depends on how you use computer, but like I said above, I'd just go for what's cheaper in this case.
