Macbook battery life, is there a problem If I keep it plugged almost all the time?

Hello.
New Mac user here, so I was wondering if there's a problem if I keep my MBP plugged all the time.
Most of the time I'm on my room using my MBP fully charged and I don't disconnect it.
Is there a problem with my batter life if I do that?
Or it's recommended to unplug and use it till the battery run off and then charge it again?
Because I work a lot on my MBP and that way in a simple day I could charge it and run uff the energy of the battery 2 to 3 times at day.
What's better for the life of my battery?
And if you could give me some advices to maintenance my battery and Macbook pro (also programs) I would appreciate it.
I own a Macbook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2012
2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
With OS X 10.9
Thanks

No. I do that most of the time. Perhaps monthly I discharge it to the 40% level to keep the battery happy. Do not discharge the battery completely. If you are forced to use only battery power and you see the battery is low warning terminate your session or plug into AC if you can.
Here are Apple articles with official battery usage guidelines:

Little circle turns/ page doesn't load/ problem triangle comes up almost all the time

The little connecting circle comes on and turns no matter what -- whether it's from a bookmark, an email, a typed in address. It turns and turns, then either times out or says problem loading page ALMOST all the time (I can't figure our why or why not). I just downloaded the latest versions of both Firefox & Thunderbird. I check my AVG and Firefox has a clear pass.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time for no reason every time I put it on silent or just get a Facebook message I have a broken sleep/power button anyone know how to fix this problem?

My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?

The "fix" is to get the phone repaired. There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.

ever since I have continuously problems with my external HDD that disconnect all the time and cause problems in other software (Lightroom, Adobe PS CS6) ... it is not a HDD problem, because it occurs with my 3TB WD HDD (Time Machine), my 1TB WD and 1TB IOMEGA
any one have a solution? anyone dealt with this problem in the apple care program?

You are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare. Call them. Let them deal w/it.

Can I leave my mac book air plugged in all the time at work, without damaging the battery?

I know people may have asked this questions many times, however I intend on using my mac book air at work and would like know I I can leave it on powered on in the office and the unplugged at night?. Would it damage my MacBook?

Yes. It will not damage the battery. You do not need to unplug it at night. If you use it from the AC charage all the time, then about once every two months you should use it on battery power until the battery drops below 20%. Then fully recharge the battery after which you should allow the battery to "rest" for about one hour. It is OK to use the computer during that time but do not yet connect the AC adaptor. Follow this practice and your battery should have a good life.

Fan runs at max almost all the time on a 2.16GHz MacBook Pro

My fans are running at 6000 rpm for no reason. I've noticed this for a while but now I realize something is wrong.
I tried resetting the SMC (pulled the battery, held power button down for 5 seconds) and no luck. As soon as I turn it on and it comes up with the log in screen, the fans are running at 6000 rpm. I have 51 processes running right now and the one using the most cpu is activity monitor at about 2 to 4 ('m assuming percent).
I'm wondering if there is another way to reset the SMC on a 2.16GHz MBP?
And has anybody else had a similar problem?
Should I redownload and reinstall the firmware update for this model, I think I recall a while back a fan firmware update for it?

I've had the same problem.
On my 2.16 C2D MBP it was the thermal sensor of the GPU's heatsink that was intermittendly losing connection (you can see that in programs like Temperature Monitor and Hardware Monitor).
I opened up my MBP and reseated all the little sensor connectors I could see and now it works again...
First I'd run Apple Hardware Test from the installation DVD, it may throw an error that you could post.

ITunes has encountered a problem and needs to close... all the time!

I just bought an iPod nano (5th generation). I downloaded iTunes 9.2 for Windows XP. So far, I have only about 15 songs on the iPOD, because whenever I connect it to the computer an error occurs. It goes like this:
iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the unconvenience.
If you were in the middle of something,
the information you were working on might be lost.
Error signature

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall exactly how it is described in Apple's support pages, but nothing seems to work.
I'm starting to lose my sanity. Does anyone know what to do?

I'm thinking your iTunes library got currupted somehow.
Try this (assuming iTunes is shut down and not showing in Task Manager > Processes tab)
Rename this file
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\iTunes Library.itl
to ....\iTunes Library.old
Try to start iTunes, will it come up now?

SG-300 28P switches problem with VLAN Data and Voice, working all the time as Voice VLAN

Hi Everyone,
Thank you very much for your help in advance. I’m pulling my hair to fix the problem.
I just got the new SG-300 28P switches. My Bios ordered for me. I did not know how it runs until now... not an IOS based. I really do not know how to configure it.
I have 2 VLAN are Data and Voice.
-          Data VLAN ID is 2 IP 192.168.2.X/255.255.255.0
-          Voice VLAN ID is 200 IP 192.168.22.X/255.255.255.0
-          I created two vlans, in switch, Data and Voice.
-          On the port number 28, it is trunk by default, so I add Data vlan ID 2 tagged.
-          On the port number 26, it is trunk by default, so I add Voice vlan ID 200 tagged.
-          On the port number 27, I add Data vlan ID 2 tagged for Data vlan out.
-          Port settings No.1
I set it up as Trunk with Data vlan 2 untagged, and 200 Tagged (voice vlan). I plugged in a phone with a pc attached. But the PC will get to the vlan 200 to get the DHCP address, but no from vlan 2. The Phone works with correct vlan ip.
-          Port settings No.2
Trunk with vlan 1UP, 2T, and 200T. The phone is even worse. Would never pick up any IP from DHCP.
-          Port settings No.3
Access with 200U...of course the phone will work... and the PC could not get to its own vlan. Instead, the PC got an ip from the voice vlan. Not from VLAN 2.
I have Linksys phone I’m not sure if this help.
For more information I setup in switch,
            - enable voice vlan
- set the port on auto voice vlan
- enable LLDP-MED globally
- create a network policy to assign VLAN 200
- assign this network policy to the port the phone is connected to.
I hope this information help to help me to setup Data and Voice vlans, to plug the phone to work with vlan Voice 200 (IP rang 192.168.22.X), from phone to Pc and pc work as Data vlan 2 (IP rang 192.168.2.X).

I just got done setting up voice VLANs on an SF 300-24P and verified working. This was working with Cisco 7900 series phones connected to a Cisco UC setup.
Here's my sample config.
Note that I edited this by hand before posting, so doing a flat out tftp restore probably won't work. However, this should give you a clue. Also, don't take this as 100% accurate or correct. I've only been working with these things for about a week, though I've worked with the older Linksys SRW switches for a couple of years. I'm a CCNP/CCDP.
VLAN 199 is my management VLAN and is the native VLAN on 802.1q trunks.
VLAN 149 is the data/computer VLAN here.
VLAN 111 is the voice/phone VLAN here.
VLAN 107 does nothing.

Serious problem with xorg - keyboard and mouse locks all the time.

In the last week I've notices serious problems with xorg.
After some event, I am not sure which one, keyboard stops responding.
Mouse cursor works, but I can't click on anything.
I can't switch to text console.
But I can kill xorg with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE.
Have you noticed something similiar?
I use xfce4, [testing] repository.

Mouse cursor works, but I can't click on anything.
I can't switch to text console.
But I can kill xorg with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE.
Have you noticed something similiar?
I use xfce4, [testing] repository.
I had that a few days ago, couldn't reproduce it. I was also running xfce4. I havn't had it today and im running xfdesktop+xfce-mcs-manager+pekwm+xfce4-panel... so it may have been xfwm4.

Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

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.

Battery plugged all the time ?

If I plugged it to the power and use it all the time ,the battery wont be harm? Or I should remove the battery when I want to plug it to the power and use it ? can you tell me some advice about the battery ? I only know that I should recharge it only if it be under 20%.

Hi:
This link is provides all the information you wanted to know about battery care.

Here is the specific info regarding the battery when the notebook is primarily plugged in all the time.
"Remove the battery from the notebook if the notebook will be plugged into AC power continuously (via a wall adapter or docking station) for more than 2 weeks."

Do I need a new battery or is there another problem?

I bought my Macbook Pro in 2006 and haven't had any problems until recently. My battery doesn't hold a charge very long when my computer isn't plugged in. I calibrated it a couple times and now after a couple hours the computer just turns off and is extremely hot underneath. I don't know what's going on. Do I need a new battery or is there another problem? Here's some info I pulled up about it:
Battery Information:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 410
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 77
Amperage (mA): 308
Voltage (mV): 12604
Cycle Count: 63

MissArtist32,
the figures you provide indicate that your battery is so close to completely dead that it is a wonder that it will run your computer at all. A Full Charge Capacity of 410mAh is less than a tenth of what it was when new.
The fact that you have only completed 63 cycles in more than three years probably explains why. Even with normal use 3 years is quite a good "lifespan", but Lithium Ion batteries need regular use to prevent deterioration. Most batteries of this age will have been through at least a couple of hundred "cycles".
Once you get a new battery try to let it get through at least one discharge / charge cycle every week. The best way to do this is to use it for brief periods of time off the charger ever day or so, rather than charging it right up and draining it right down.
But one thing is for sure. Your battery is in very , very poor condition indeed. Time to buy a new one.
Cheers

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Try resetting the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 If it doesn't work, take your MacBook Air to an Apple Store or reseller, because your battery doesn't work
