Is there a risk to have my power cable connected at all times?

Is there a risk to have my power cable connected at all times?

No, I keep mine connected most of the time.  However, it's bad for the battery to stay on power literally ALL the time, so don't treat your laptop as a desktop.  If you're not going places with it often, unplug it and use it on the battery for a little while at least once or twice per month.  And every now and then, use it until the battery runs empty and the machine puts itself to sleep.

  • I can see an RSS folder from SharePoint on my phone (yay!) - is there a way to have this with the "Connect to Outlook" option?

    I can see an RSS folder from SharePoint on my phone (yay!) - is there a way to have this with the "Connect to Outlook" option?
    We've got a bevy of test phones here and I've been able to see RSS feeds in an Exchange setup using Android (along with other folders) but no Lists that were hooked up using "Connect to Outlook" button from SharePoint.

    Hi,
    You are viewing Mobile view of the site into your phone. If you open the same site in normal PC view i.e. the same look which you have in your computer then it will give you an option to connect to outlook.
    Hope this helps

    Thanks for the suggestion but clicking on 'Connect to Outlook' from various phones doesn't seem to work.  "This webpage is not available." -- I didn't really expect it to do anything as I think this was meant to be done on a computer.  And then
    the result is that the documents would be available in Outlook. 
    And then, my question kicks in:  is it possible to see these files that are now in Outlook on a phone that's connected to the Exchange Server.

  • Is there a way to keep both menu bars opaque at all times?

    Mavericks shows the menu bar in both monitors when you have two. That's great, but the menu bar in the passive desktop turns translucent, which is a bit annoying. Is there a way to keep both menu bars opaque at all times? Setting the menu bar opaque in the desktop settings affects only the active monitor.

    Hey Everyone,
    DISCOVERED THE ANSWER!!!!!
    I recently got one of these fun little squares and I just figured out (what seems to be) a simple way to keep the clock face on. (Though, I certainly agree with the comments about the ultimate impracticality of doing so for a long time, as the the battery in this thing only has so much to give.)  I'm running the latest update on it.
    This seemed too easy to believe when I did it! No need to keep it empty of music! No need to keep it in Fitness running! I think this works because the clock face, stop watch, and timer are all in the same segment of it's little nano operating system.
    If you turn on the stopwatch then switch back to the clock face, it will stay fully illuminated as long as the stopwatch is running. I think the limit on the stopwatch is 24 hours, but my guess is your battery is going to be dead long before that. I'd recommend setting the brightness super low if you're going to do this.
    Anyway, problem solved if you want to keep it lit for however long you like. (of course you have to sacrifice the stopwatch)
    Enjoy!!

  • Is there a way to see and have control over who connects to your time capsule wifi network?

    Ok, have this question. Have a time capsule wifi network. Have the latest mountain lion on my mac pro. I know if you go into airport utility, and you click on the picture of my timecapsule it shows what clients are connected to my time capsule aka using my internet etc.
    What I want to know, is there somewhere I can go on the mac where I can view who is connected to my time capsule wifi in more detail, see amounts of data they are using, and maybe even boot them off, or ban there computer from the network for a while if need be? Trying to assess what family members are using up all our data, and want to ban the appropriate offenders
    Even if Mac doesnt have anythink, if you know any third parties from the app store that have an app that is like a "tap" on the top of your Mac that shows networking details, that would be great too!
    Thanks heaps!

    Nope.. TC are not burdened with controls.. don't you know..
    In fact you will find it hard to find a wireless router on the market that mets your specs.. but there is a great 3rd party firmware.. called gargoyle.. this can be loaded like an official firmware in a NETGEAR WNDR3800 which is a fairly cheap very good solid wireless router.. bridge your TC behind this router running gargoyle and you can set quota for all your family members (kids I imagine). Quota can be set for daily, weekly even hourly.. and you can apply throttles or qos.. none of these controls even exist in the TC.

  • Is there any way to have two garagebands open at the same time?

    I'm remixing a NIN song, and I need to have two garagebands open at the same time, is this possible? If so, please help!!

    it is possible, but you'd be on your own if there's a prob, and you can't copy and paste between them if that's what you're trying to do

  • This may sound dumb, but is there an app or a monthly subscription to carry wi-fi or internet connection. so i dont lose connection when i leave my house. want internet connection at all time

    I have an ipod touch 5th gen.  storage capacity is 27.9 / 23.3 available.  IOS 7.1.2    model # ME978LL/A.   My question is, now this may sound dumb. But i was wanting to know if there is a app or a monthly subscription to have internet connection or wi-fi at all times instead of just shutting my ipod off very few apps work without internet connection almost dosen't seem worth 300 dollars.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR INFO.

    Your internet connection depends on access to a wifi network. When you leave your house you go out of range of your own network, so the only way to connect is to find a free or paid public wi-fi service in the location you are in at the time; the alternative is to use your iPhone for what is called 'tethering' (providing a wifi signal you iPod can connect to) but it you have an iPhone you would want to use that anyway (and many service providers don't allow it - in any case it comes expensive as you are using a mobile data connection).

  • Where does the power cable connect in a macbook air 13.3?

    won't bore you with the details why but before I buy a macbook air I would like to know what part of the machine the power cable goes in to please?

    Perhaps this will help.  I've circled the port:
    Also note the port is a "MagSafe" meaning that the connection is magnetic -- if someone walks into the cable, it will come loose from the port fairly easily (instead of ripping).
    UPDATE - Corrected image circle.

  • Turn off Power Cable Connect Sound in iPhone5

    I would like to turn off the sound you get when you connect the power cable to the iPhone5.  Does anyone know how to do this?  Silencing all sound is not an option, as I still want to use the alarm clock function.

    Flip the Ring/Silent switch. Alarms still work with this switched on.

  • Is there any way to have a message sent at a specific time?

    Greetings:
    I am trying to figure out if there is a way to send an email to someone (not my own address) at a specific time on a specific date? Essentially I want to compose the email but only have it sent at midnight on December 1.
    Thanks in advance.
    Jeff

    I don't think so, not in Mail.app. However, there is a group of apple scripts available known as "Mail Scripts 2.10" that has as one of the scripts a thing called "Schedule Delivery (Mail)." From the webpage, it states that this script "Allows you to send individual messages at predefined times (this script uses iCal for scheduling message delivery)." I've not personally used it so I'm not familiar with it, but this may be of interest to you.

  • Is there any way to have more than 28 connection terminals?

    I am using the application builder to create DLL's for a futures trading system and want a few more than 28 input/outputs... is this possible? I would pass arrays... but, the software interface on the other side is limited and cumbersome. If I could have 40 terminals, for example, my needs would be met when building these DLL's. Any way to do this? Any way to create a DLL with more than 28 input/outputs?

    Hey Gonzo,
    My first thought is that you really might want to reconsider this VI that you are developing. Is there another way that you could design it such that it does not require more than 28 inputs/outputs?
    Some other information that could be useful: what do you plan on calling this dll from? just how many inputs and how many outputs are you looking at?
    There is an example in the NI Developer which talks about using a structure in a dll to correspond with a cluster in LabVIEW. Using Structures in a DLL with Clusters in LabVIEW If it's possible, try and take a look through the example and see if this option co
    uld work for you.

  • Is there a way to have automatic MIDI network connections?

    I have an environment where I'm using an iPad with my own software to connect to a Mac and send MIDI data to it from time to time. I've used the Audio MIDI Setup app to configure the "Network MIDI" and it works fine, detecting my running iPad MIDI app. However, if I close my iPad app and reopen it even just a minute later, the Network MIDI connection is gone and I have to reopen Audio MIDI setup to restablish a connection.
    I'd like for this to happen automatically if that's possible.
    Thanks,
    David

  • HT1229 Can i move the iPhoto folder onto an external HDD? Will it work the same way after moving onto an external HDD? do I then need to have the external connected at all times, even when I don't use iPhoto?

    I have a macbook pro, but the amount of pictures I have now exceeds 500GB
    I want to have all the pictures in iPhoto, so I could see them and edit them in iPhoto.
    Which means... I need the iPhoto file folder in an external HDD to use iPhoto that way.
    Can i move the iPhoto folder onto an external HDD?
    Will it work the same way, as if the iPhoto folder is on the internal drive?

    yes
    yes
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • Bootcamp Windows won't display without power cable attached

    Hey guys, I have a strange problem and I don't know when it first arose.
    I have a MacBook Pro which I use a VGA adapter to have 2 monitors running (my laptop screen and the extra monitor). This runs fine in OSX.
    When I try to use the same set up in Windows I get weird results. It works fine while I have the power cable plugged in. When I remove the power cable only the secondary monitor shows and the laptop's monitor powers down. If I don't have my VGA cable plugged in and try to run Windows with just my laptop screen, I can only get the screen to display while the power cable is in. As soon as it remove the power cable, my laptop's monitor powers off. It comes back on when I reattach the power cable. When I have the power cable in and the VGA cable in, both monitors display fine
    Does anyone have any idea what this is about? I reckon its something to do with starting to use a 2nd monitor on OSX, but I have no idea where to start.
    Thanks in advance!

    Since I heard other people had DVI
    connections working, I tried that, and it worked.
    Then, I plugged an analog monitor back into it, and
    that worked too! Seems like it just needed a kick
    (weird).
    I too have tried all manner of combinations and restarts to get Windows XP output to SVGA data projector. I get picture during windows start up and then it disappears - never to return once XP has loaded.
    What order do you use to link up all the bits? is there a way to toggle external monitor in XP via boot camp on a Macbook Pro?
