Should i let the laptop on charge?

Yo,
I just bought a MBP retina 13" 2014.
Can I let the laptop on charge when i'm home even if its fully charged or is going to screw up the battery in the long run ( such as my previous labtop..)?
Thanks you.

There is no problem with leaving the AC charger connected even when the battery is fully charged.

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!

HT4060 Should I let the battery run down before charging my iPad or iPhone to help the battery last longer?

Should I let the battery run down before charging my iPad or iPhone or iPod Nano to help the battery last longer? I took a class at Verizon and they said let it drain completely and it would last longer. Thanks

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.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

From the above link...
For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

I have just got my iPad2 and very pleased with it. I have a question regarding the monthly (recommended) battery full charge. Should I let the battery completely die down to nothing at all or would this be bad for my iPad?

It's not bad for it - on this page www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html it says :
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

Does it harm the battery if we use the laptop while charging?

If we use while charging, is the power required directly taken from the external supply or from the battery itself. Which is the safest way to use the laptop without drawing power from the battery?

No harm is done. There is enough power from the adapter to run the laptop and charge the battery. There is hardware and software in place which prevents any problems. The laptop will not take power from the battery while the AC adapter is plugged in.

Should I let the Powerbook sleep while it is encoding in iDVD?

Should I let my Powerbook sleep when I'm burning a DVD or discimage? Will letting the Powerbook sleep interrupt the encoding process? Thanks, Janice

Hello, Janice,
Welcome to the discussions!
I would have answered, NO, keep your Powerbook on and don't let it sleep, but then I did a search for you and found the thread below. You could have found this thread by doing a search in iDVD discussion with the terms 'encode' and 'sleep' (That is how I found it!). You will find as you use the discussion forums that many times your question has been addressed, or you will find some similar questions, and you will definitely find out new information.
So, have a look at this thread. There are conflicting opinions here, but I would go with Len Goff's suggestions as he is very knowledgeable:

I bought a new MacBook Air the other day and I have been trying to connect my iPhone into the laptop to charge. However every time I plug it in, the phone connects and disconnects very quickly and doesn't charge. How do I fix this?

I Bought a new macbook air and it won't charge my phone. This is the second laptop ive gone through as i got a replacement one only two days ago for the same problem. I need to be able to connect my iPhone so I can download songs etc from iTunes onto my phone. How do I fix this?

Since this is the second computer you've had this problem with, I recommend you look for answers on the iPhone forum. My thinking is it is an iPhone issue rather than a computer issue (unless it is some software incompatibility).

Help!!!

Doesn't matter

How long should i let the "LJP 1100_P1560_P1600_Full_Solution.exe" run on my computer?

It takes 50% of my CPU. Now it's working for an hour.

Turn it off. Leave it off. Leave it unplugged.
Take it to Genius Bar for evaluation and let them be the first to turn it on after checking HD, RAM, logic board, etc.
Water is accident and you will pay for repairs.
Good luck.

I bought my friend's used laptop. She doesn't know how to get her itunes account off the laptop, so I'm not able to do anything. How do I remove her account from the laptop?

I bought my friends Toshiba laptop. Her itunes account is on there, hooked up to a credit card. She doesn't remember her ID. I think I had it emailed to her by typing in her email address and first and last name. Now that she probably HAS her Apple ID and Password, how do we remove her account from the laptop so I can use MY itunes?

Delete the ENTIRE iTunes folder from her user directory.
Frankly, you should be restoring the laptop as new, either using the restore CD provided by Toshiba or by reinstalling Windows with a Windows CD to remove ALL of her personal information.
