Should I always plug my laptop to the charger or should I let the battery die before recharging my laptop
Hi, I have a macbook pro. I use it a lot for college and I was wondering, should I always plug my laptop to the charger or should I let the battery die before recharging my laptop? Is there a difference? The battery of my laptop is supposed to last how long?
Thank you alot!

Let my battery die, plugged the adapter in but now it thinks it is charged.
My computer was fully charged when I let it sleep. I came back a few hours later to open my laptop when it died (my mistake). I plugged it back in to turn it on, it would start up but die again. I held the power button, it turned on but the charger icon says it is fully charged when it is not. It died a few minutes later. I am not sure if the charger is messed or if my battery is. The charger keeps saying it is charged but I know it is not. I have had this macbook for about 6 months and I do use is everyday so maybe it is the battery. Does that sounds right?
I think a lot of people use their Mac's everyday so after 6 months if yours is doing something like this it sounds like you have a battery issue. It'll still be under warranty so take it to an Apple Store and get your battery replaced, free of charge (i should imagine).

the charger is showing green but the laptop will not turn on. The stand-by light is flashing and the laptop is making a bleeping sound. Any suggestions?
Could be bad ram or logic board. Take it to an Apple store or AASP.

I work from my truck. I use my iPhone almost continuasly. Is it ok just to leave it plugged into the charger all day? So the battery is fully charged when I leave my truck.
Yes. Charging automatically stops when your battery is full, & you can't overcharge.

MMy iPod is workin,but my charger no longer fixes all the way in the slot to recharge it. Want should I do. Thank you
Hey Lynette1234, As UbuntuXP stated check and clean the port of foreign debris. Lint packed in the bottom of the charging port is most often the problem, This seems to be more of an issue with the lighting ports used on the iPod 5. The following will help you clear / clean the lighting port on an iPod 5. Try using a strong light and a magnifying glass to look into the port, using a soft brush to carefully remove any debris, if you must a non-conductive probe may be needed, I find a round wooden toothpick work well. Avoid touching or bending the gold contact pins on the long side of the port. Damage them and you will have a costly repair. Also, make sure the silver lock springs (looks like silver bump on each end) on the short sides of the port are free to move, if not clear the debris. If the older 30 pin type, same thing avoid touching, bending the contacts, and remove all foreign debris. Many report a soft toothbrush works well or a toothpick. Avoid using solvents if the contact pins appear corroded, generally plugging / plugging the charger end , about 12 times will clean dirty contacts. If you must, a cotton swab cut to fit the port with a drop of 91% isopropyl alcohol on it, (you want the swab damp, NOT wet or dripping), will remove most any corrosion. simply run the swab in and out as if you were plugging it in until the swab comes out clean. May need to use more than one swab. But check for lint / foreign debris first. Good luck. Cheers.

can i use my blackberry torch charger to charge my iPod4s? The charger looks very similar to the 5W USB power adaptor that Apple sells to charge the iPod?
Actually, the bb charger is a 5V, 750 mA charger (which would make it a 3.75W charger vs the 5W that Apple sells for the iPod). Therefore, I would think that my bb charger should work for both bb and iPod, but would charge the iPod at a slower rate, with little harm done to the gadget, but I defer to any opinion that would suggest otherwise?

If I let my battery die on my mac bookpro on accident, how can I get the full charge back?, If I let my battery die on my mac bookpro on accident, how can I get the full charge back?
Connect the AC charge to the system. Battery will charge to 100%.
But it is very bad to drain the battery to Zero. So don't make a habit of doing that. -
My battery on my iPad mini isn't charging, the charging sign is on, but the battery just keeps going down.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Since you did not say how long the battery lasts I am nut sure the battery is the problem. -
ive had my iphone 5 for just over a year now.. its all of a sudden decided to shut down on me.. ive tried everything to get it switched back on again but nothings working, when i connect the charger it jst flashes with the apple icon.. anyone help?
Did you try a reset, hold the power button and home button until you see the apple then let go? Did you try to restore as new in iTunes on your computer?

Just got my I phone, I used it an after a while the screen went black. I put it on the charger but nothing is on the screen and no lights on. Is my Iphone okay?
Have you tried resetting your iPhone, press and hold the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignoring the red slider, then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing this.

How can i "find my iphone" if the charge has run out so the "lost phone" can't be ONLINE?
How can I "Find my iphone" if the charge has run out so the phone that is lost can't be ONLINE?
You can't. Place it in lost mode and it will be implemented if and when the lost device is recharged by someone and connects to the internet.

Sometimes my iPad1 locks up and has the flat battery graphic after charging all night, but will not work until you disconnect the charger, then it reboots and the battery is fully charged and works normally.
It has only happened for the last month or so
Also, sometimes it drops out of apps, ie facebook etc. just like you have hit the stop buttonWho replaced the battery? If it wasn't Apple the replacement is probably bad also. Either that, or the logic board is bad.

No power from the charger to the phone. The charger would lit up from the
wall of the usb outlet if it is working. The problem is no power at all so
i have been using the LG charge for my phone all these timed.. try as you
suggest no good either. It would say same thing. Use original charger...
it is on original charger..At least I'm in same boat. Misery loves company. Paid for new oem charger that takes 8 hours to charge.

There are no user serviceable parts in an iPhone. Since you
made an unauthorized repair to your iPhone, you will have to
seek assistance elsewhere.
Google or ifixit.com may provide some direction, but you can
get no help here per Terms of Service. Sorry to tell you this,
