Is it OK to keep your power plugged in when its fully charged (green light)

SO i was wonder if its ok if i keep my macbook white plugged in to power when its fully charged (light on your charger goes green) or should i recharge it again when battery level goes to 10-20% again?
I am worried because for some reason its making me think that if i keep it plugged in it can damage to battery?

Perfectly safe, nothing bad will happen to your mac if you run it off the plug after the batter reaches 100%

How smart is my mac? can use the AC adapter as a main power source and not charge the battery when its fully charged?

does my mac use the AC adapter as the power source when its plugged in and the battery is full? is it smart to enough to split?

The charging circuit charges until the battery reaches 100%, then shuts down the charging and goes to powering mode. When the battery charge trickles down to 93-95% the charging circuit starts again and tops up the battery. Will continue to operate like that if you leave it plugged in. Keeping it plugged in does not harm the battery or risk overcharging.

Does it adversely effect the battery to keep the IPad plugged in when fully charged?

Copied from Texas Mac Man ...
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

HT4101 What if I connect the camera adaptor and it says there is not enough power to support it? (fully charged iPad)

What if when I connect the camera adaptor attachment and a message appears that there is not enough power? My iPad is fully charged and I was only downloading three pictures. ???

This might help ya out -> iPad: Using iPad Camera Connector with unsupported USB devices
If you encounter an issue trying to connect a digital camera through an unsupported USB device, try the following steps:
Disconnect the iPad Camera Connector from iPad.
Disconnect any USB device connected to the iPad Camera Connector.
Restart iPad.
Reconnect the iPad Camera Connector and then connect your digital camera directly to the iPad Camera Connector.
You may need to connect certain cameras, USB Audio, or MIDI devices to a powered USB hub for the iPad Camera Connector to detect them. Find more information on using the iPad Camera Connection Kit.
Note: If you encounter an issue using a USB audio or MIDI device, contact the manufacturer to confirm that the device is compatible with the iPad Camera Connector.
What type of camera do you have connected to the adapter?

Refresh DSV - why does it keep indicating it "Added" things, when its already been done? (repost from DW forum)

There were a number of changes done and earlier I had used the "refresh" button in the DSV view, and the updates were reflected in the DSV. Now, however everything should be updates, yet when I hit refresh, the dialog still comes up and list
all the changes it did earlier as "Added". What is going on here?
Now however, all my tables, dimensions, relations etc are setup with no errors and the cube builds, processes and deploys without any errors, yet if I refresh the DSV, I still get the dialog that displays all the things that it "sees" as "Added".
This is even after closing down BIDS and re-opening.
Also, I wonder if this has something to do this this thread, since its concerning the DSV getting "confused"

Hi Shiftbit,
According to your description, you need to know why the dialog still comes up and list all the changes it did earlier as "Added" when there is nothing changed in the data source view, right?
I have tested it on my local environment. We use the sample project AdventureWorks, we didn't make any modification on the DSV and click the Refresh button, and all the changes were list on Refresh Data Source View dialog. So as per my understanding, this
is default settings. If we click the button, it will list all the changes from the date when you create this project.

My phone turned its self off for about 10 minutes, when it came back on it went from 84% to 18%. When I put in on the charger it shows the plug symbol as if its fully charged but the phone stays at 18%, and now it won't turn on.

My phone turned its self off for about 10 minutes, when it came back on it went from 84% to 18%. When I put in on the charger it shows the plug symbol as if its fully charged but the phone stays at 18%. Over time the battery dropped, but it went from 18, to 9, 3, then 1, and every time I put it on the charger it doesn't actually charge. Now my phone is off and it will not turn on.

I'd suggest taking it to apple. Warranty or no warranty.

Well the blinking light shows it's charging, however just to make sure.
Reset the SMC, then connect the machine to a power source that doesn't have a lot of other power items on the same lines (in the walls) in the same room and see how it is in the morning.
For instance use a powerline in another spare room that isn't being used as much.

Is it OK to leave the power plugged in when the computer is fully charged?

I often have my MacBook Pro on my desk and it's a pain charging it up then running it down all the time. Would it be OK to just leave the power plugged in all the time? Is it bad for the battery or not?
Cheers.

My iPhone will not power on. When on a charger or plugged into a computer, the apple logo will come on for a few seconds, go off within a second, then come on every minute or so and do it again. This is all without ever actually powering on.

I have tried all methods of resetting and it still does the same thing. iTunes does not even recognize the phone. Any ideas on the issue?

Hello Breanneg,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
Best of luck,
Mario
