It is good for the computer to continue to charge even though it has reached 100% ?

Because I let it charge over night... I don't know if it is healthy for the computer.

Don't worry. After it reaches a full charge, the computer stops accepting any more charge to the battery. The Computer will only then use adapter power to power the computer when it is on, until such time it reaches a state of discharge below a battery charge level of 95%, at which time it will then charge to full capacity again and stop.
Leaving the power adapter in place does no harm at all. However, you should follow Apple's battery maintenance reccommendations and periodically permit the computer to experiuence a full discharge/charge cycle (once a month at least).

    No, not lifetime.

  • Husband bought me a new Macbook Air but everything on the computer is in his name even though I'm signed w/ my Apple ID

    My husband bought a new Macbook Air from Best Buy for me as a gift. While everything is great, I am having an issue with everything being under his name.  I've linked it to my Apple ID and signed into my iCloud but whenever I turn on the MBA and login his name appears. Same with emails. Whenever I send an email from my account, his name appears in the name section.  I tried replacing his name with mine but it just keeps coming back.
    He thinks that since he used his Best Buy rewards card, they somehow registered the laptop under his name though I'm not sure if this is possible, or why they'd even do that in situations like this where the MBA is a gift for someone else.
    I'd appreciate any help.
    thanks in advance

    Ok, then do the same thing as before, EXCEPT do not click accounts, but click preferences under "messages".  Then click accounts and disable the one you don't want.
    Here is what I mean.
       Not sure if this pic shows up.

  • The "connecting" green circle keeps spinning even though page has loaded.

    Frequently the page seems to have fully loaded, yet the circle keeps spinning and says connecting until I click on the X to stop page from loading.
    About the same time this started happening, my web pages started containing green highlighted words that are double underlined and contain links. What the heck?

    You can try basic steps like these in case of issues with web pages:
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • After my windows 7 computer did automatic updates, everytime I click on a link I get a not responding message and have to wait almost a minute for the program to continue.

    Last night, my computer running Windows 7 premium home edition downloaded some automatic updates. I came in this morning to find that it had done a restart after adding these updates.
    Now, anytime I click a link or do something which requires a redirect to another web page, my program gives me the not responding message and I have to wait 30-55 seconds for the program to continue.
    I have Firefox 4 and it was running smoothly up until this morning, so I can only assume that whatever the automatic updates were, there is something in them that is causing this error. I do not know what updates were installed.

    I don't have that problem in Firefox 29 when I read Gmail or AOL (aim''.''com) webmail. When I click on a webpage link in an email I'm reading (example: http://www.tworivertheater.org/ ) the link opens in a separate Firefox tab.
    Are you saying this doesn't happen in outlook''.''com webmail and the link opens in the same Firefox tab as the email itself? I don't use outlook''.''com webmail myself. Hopefully someone will be along who does, or see [[Problems with email and how to find help]].
    It might help if you would confirm the type of link that is opening in the same tab as the email you are reading in your outlook webmail. If I misunderstood your problem, please explain it better.
    It might also help if you could furhish more troubleshooting information. Please do the following:
    *'''For Firefox 29.0 and above''': Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
    Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    *At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
    *Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.

  • Is 'never sleep' bad for the computer?

    I would like to allow remote access at any time; however, I cannot do this on wireless without leaving my computer in 'Never Sleep' mode.  Is leaving the computer in this 'Never Sleep' mode bad for the computer?

    Never sleeping depends on the room temperature, which will affect how hot the hardware will get. If it's really hot, you will want to let it sleep to cool down. Also, running 24/7 means the fans or fan will never stop. This will mean introducing more dust into the computer, as well as possibly burning up the fan motors sooner than would be the case otherwise.
    Another aspect of this is if you don't have "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" in Sys Prefs>Energy Saver, that will mean the drive will be running 24/7. I don't have that checked because I think it puts more stress on the drive to have it cycling off and on constantly. However, I do sleep the computer when not in use. Therefore, my drive, although it isn't sleeping when the computer is being used, isn't running 24/7. Some people think it's good or at least OK to run the drive 24/7, but there is no evidence it is, and although I can't support this with anything more than personal preference, I think running the drive 24/7 can't be too great for it.
    A lot of this is just guesswork and personal experience and preferences.

  • Is it bad for the computer to save thousands of emails?

    Hi,
    I have been told that it is bad for the computer to save thousands of emails... unless I somehow turn them into documents.
    Is this true? And if so, how would you go about doing this? I find it very useful to go back and look through emails for certain things...
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi there,
    It is my understanding that problems may arise if you store a large amount of e-mail messages in the Inbox (and maybe also in the Sent box). I like to keep a large amount of e-mail also and what's been recommended is to create new mailboxes and drag the messages you wish to store into these. You may name them with descriptive names that will help you with categorization. To create the boxes, go down to that little "+" sign at the bottom lefthand corner of the Mail window. There is supposedly some max size your Inbox needs to stay beneath for Mail to function correctly, but you can let the size of these extra boxes get very large without problem.
    There are also ways to archive e-mail completely outside of Mail, but I've never done this myself. A search of discussions will probably yield more information on that technique. But a good thing to do right now is to create additional mailboxes as I've outlined above.
    Post back. Good luck.

  • My account is good for one computer. Or is it?

    My iTunes setup says that my account is good for one computer. Would that include using the iPod (account) connected and synced to my PC? Do I need to similarily setup the same or different account on my iPod? Please explain. (Note: My iPod already syncs with the CD I added to iTunes in my PC.)
     How many pieces of gear can used in this fashion (ie: iPod, iPad, iPhone, and computer), I'm guessing management on one computer plus another piece of hardware like iPod . . . or am I wrong?   
    I guess to avoid confusion . . . is one account for both sufficient and agreeable to Apple?
    Any advice or help will be appreciated.
    TIA

    Well, I'm getting on since I hit Trafalger when I was 18 (old enough to hit the pubs there but not here). I hung out at the Friend At Hand and drank Watneys (and anything else). Made it to Liverpool, Torquay, and in between. Some of my best memories. Almost had a ideal job at BOAC, but immigration quotas from the far east nixed that.   Still listen to Radio Caroline on this side of the Atlantic.
    Got my connection and account to iTunes working on both the PC and iPod now. Haven't located iTunes radio though on the iPod. Do you know if it is even possible with the older 4.2 version?
    Thanks, again.

  • Edge and Next are good for the corporations but are they good for the consumer?

    Ok so I have never paid full price upfront for a phone!  Ever since my first phone from VoiceStream I have opted for what ever phone was "free" because way back then (I blush as I type) I actually thought the phone was "free!!!" Ah, to be naive again!! But as we all know the phones never were nor will they ever be free. 
    However I say programs like Verizon's Edge and AT&T's Next are good for the corporation if they weren't they would not exist.  The first reason I say this is because Edge and Next allow the cellular service provider to easily recoup the entire cost of the phone in a clear way unlike with subsidized phones that muddy the profit water.  For example, the Verizon 64GB iPhone 5s retails for $849.99, currently with a two year contract you pay $399.99 for that 64GB iPhone 5s.  The EFT for that phone is $350 (minus $10 per month of post paid service).  If you on the 15th the day after you got your phone you paid the EFT but kept service you only paid $749.99 for that $849.99.  Sure you still pay for service but you can leave when ever and Verizon cannot say hey you owe us $100 more for you phone.  Its yours and they can't take it back and the only way Verizon will get that $100 back is though another customer  that subsidized a much lower cost phone that at the completion of that contract Verizon will  more than recoup the cost of that lower priced unit. To top that off you could turn around and sell the phone for $800 go back to Verizon or another provider buy a $450 phone and break even.  I'm not suggesting that people do that or that it may prove to be a big hassle for some that went through all the trouble.  Its just a point to show that subsidized phones make the profits less clear for the service provider to see at first glance.
    Second reason these programs are good for the corporation is they allow the service providers to get a better grasp on the true cost of maintaining their networks and providing us the consumer access to their networks.  Third reason it good for the corporation is the people that feel the need to upgrade every six months to a year are required to pay at least 50% of the retail cost of the phone at the same time they must surrender that device in exchange for the new device.  So the service provider then has the phone refurbished certified to be in "like new condition" and sell it again potentially making more than retail cost when the profits of both sales of the same handset are factored together. 
    That being said what will the impact of programs like Edge and Next have on cost of future cellular service plans and smartphones?  Over time will the service provider give us the best per line access fee (not likely but maybe)? Or will people upgrading their smartphones at faster intervals cause the cost of the smartphones to drop over time? What are your thoughts?

  • How to find out what is the lock key for the computer

    How to find out what is the lock key for the computer?

    You don't.
    If you forgot or lost the password, all you can practically do is reset it.
    The manner in which you do so depends on what version of OS X you are running. The older versions utilize the reset password utility on your recovery/re-installation disk/drive.
    On Lion, you use the following technique to reset the Administrators password:
    Boot to your Lion Recovery Partition, by holding down the Option key while starting, and then selecting the Recovery HD as the boot choice.
    Once booted, at the top of the screen is a menu ..., select Utilities / Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window will open. Select your boot volume (your SSD drive) if it is not already selected. Select your administrators username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if it is not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. Restart the computer from the apple menu.

    Hello,
    I am not a PC security expert but that software looks pretty suspicious to me. If you google the name of the software there are a large number of posts from people asking how to remove it and suggesting that it has been installed without their consent.
    I suspect that it is adware which hijacks the users browser home page / default search, displays adverts and generates revenue for the owner. It is possible that it also causes other security issues.
    I don't know enough about that software to feel confident in telling you that you '''should''' remove it (especially if you are getting value from the service it offers) but I will say that I wouldn't feel comfortable having it running on my own machine.
    If you like the software then by all means keep it but I do suggest running a range of antiviurs / malware removal tools. These will run alongside your existing anti-virus software:
    * [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
    * [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
    * [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
    * [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
    If any of these flag easylifeapp as a problem then I suggest removing it.
    I hope that helps.

  • This new update for the iphone has me troubled. Nowhere did I see where it was only good for 3GS,4S and or 5. Is this update also good for the 3GS? I'm reading people are haing trouble.

    This new update for the iPhone has me troubled. Nowhere did I see where it was only good for 3GS,4S and or 5 or all. Is this update also good for the 3GS? I'm reading people are having trouble.

    iOS 6 can be loaded without problem on the 3GS.  Not all features are supported however.
    With respect to your reading people are having trouble, what did you expect to see on this technical support forum?  People don't write in to state they have a trouble-free upgrade.

  • Is there a way to restore my itunes account since I had to get a new harddrive for the computer?

    I had to get a new hard drive for the computer and could not transfer the itunes library. Is there a way to restore old library or upload the songs from the ipod nano?

    You could use your external backup of your computer, but I'm guessing you do not have one, which is leading to my second guess, you have a PC and not a Mac.
    You can use this: http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/

  • Is magnets in an ipad cover, good for the ipad?

    Just wondering if magnets in an ipad cover, good for the ipad. Some poeple say its fine and other say its gives problems with you ipad.
    So what whitch one is it good or bad?

    The Apple cover has magnets. If magnets caused problems, Apple wouldn't use them.
    Magnets, if strong enough, can cause problems with hard drives like in a laptop, or like old floppy discs. However, the iPad uses a flash type hard drive not affected by magnets.
