Should I run my battery all the way down the first time I use my new Macbook Pro?

I just received a new Pro. Is it better to let the battey run all the way down on the first use? Should I charge it all the way up and then let it run all the way down? Does either make any difference? Thanks.

That is definitely not required.

  • Had iphone 4 a week and it got dropped and theres a crack all the way down the screen, will you replace it?

    iphone dropped only had it a week, got replaced because the power button broke. Now the screen is cracked all the way down the middle. Will i get a replacement?

    We are users. Not Apple. If the phone is from a country where Apple offers an out of warranty replacement program, Apple will be happy to replace it for US$149.
    Accidental damage is not covered by the warranty.

  • I can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

    i can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software - neihter version 6 or 7 - since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

    My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
    Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
    And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
    Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    or http://www.apple.com/contact/
    We are just end users here helping other end users.
    Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
    Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
    Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
    Good luck!

  • I have had a series of Macs.  They have been backed up with Time Machine. I am trying to restore TM backup files from the older Macs using my new MacBook Pro.  No go.  What do I do ?

    I am trying to restore TM backup files from the older Macs using my new MacBook Pro.  No go.
    Migration Assistant (Finder > Applications > Utilities > Migration Assistant) is the tool that you would use to restore backups from older Macs to another Mac.
    Details are here:   http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html   The same info applies for Mavericks and Yosemite.   If you are saying that this is a "no go".....where are you getting stuck?  What error messages do you see?

  • HT1296 How do I back up the calendar and contacts from my iPhone5 to my new macbook pro(10.8.3)? I have backed up the phone, but it does not transfer the calendar or the contacts. If I check them in the sync area and the back up the phone again...

    How do I back up the calendar and contacts from my iPhone5 to my new macbook pro(10.8.3)? I have backed up the phone, but it does not transfer the calendar or the contacts. If I check them in the sync area and then back up the phone again will they transfer or be erased? I am a bit gun shy since my previous macbook pro committed suicide and I lost a ton of info there.

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer.

  • My Time machine won't back up.  Recently updated to OS x 10.7.5.  Error message is as follows:  "The backup disk image "/Volumes/Time Machine Backup/Scott's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use."  What is wrong and how do I fix it?  Thanks.

  • How can I move the aperture program from my old Mac to my new Macbook Pro?

    I have Aperture 3.2 on my old Mac laptop and would like to know how to move it over to my new macbook pro retina laptop.  I tried to just move it from my external hard drive, but that didn't work. Can I use the migration assistant to transfer this and only this program to my new laptop? 
    Thanks,
    Shirley

    Apple Pro Apps like Aperture really do best if installed from the original media that hey were bought on. Trying to migrate Aperture can lead to a lot of frustrating problems.
    The libraries can be copied over just as you would any file but the application itself needs to be installed.
    How did you purchase Aperture? If you got it in the Mac App Store then all you need to do is log into the MAS from the new computer using the same Apple ID you used to buy Aperture and download it.
    If you bought it on DVD you will need to install from those and then run software update to get to the latest version. Remember if you bought it on DVD you will need the original serial number that was included in the package. Also if this was and upgrade from an earlier version (1 or 2)  you will need those serial numbers also.

  • Is there an easy way to sync an iPhone 5 to a new Macbook Pro Retina

    Hi Guys,
    Thanks in advance for helping me out, I think this question has been asked in various forms but I was hoping to be a bit more specific.
    I've just got a new Macbook Pro Retina 13", which is awesome.
    The first thing I want to do is sync up my iPhone 5, which im thinking is going to be a nightmare.
    Im almost certain if I connect my iPhone ill be presented with the option to 'Erase and Sync'.
    Basically, without transfering all my photos, music and apps to a hard-drive and then over onto this new MBP is there a way to sync up without effectively starting from scratch and spending hours with a big transfer?
    Thanks again.

    What do you want to sync? You can use it to just sync your music, movies, and tv shows if you want and don't want to have to erase your apps. You can do the same things just as quickly with iCloud and even more things such as contact syncing, calendar syncing, and more.

  • Oracle Reports -- printing 1/3 the way down the second page.

    I modifying an Oracle Report that outputs a rtf-formmated word doc. When things go to the second page (because things on the first page have fully occupied the first page), they always appear 1/3 down the page. I would like them to be close to the top of the page as possible. Does anybody have any suggestions or ideas on how this should work?
    thanks

    Hi Dan,
    I modifying an Oracle Report that outputs a rtf-formmated word doc. I did not get your above point
    When things go to the second page (because things on the first page have fully occupied the first page), they always appear 1/3 down the page. I would like them to be close to the top of the page as possible. Does anybody have any suggestions or ideas on how this should work?As for this case there might be frames or Items displayed (Print Object On - First Page) at the top of the page which are not being displayed on the second page for all such frames and Items set the Vertical Elasticity to Variable.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I move just my iPhoto files from Time Machine into my new Macbook Pro system without loading the whole former identity?

    I don't wan to load my entire former user ID onto my new system. iPhoto keeps saying "The iPhoto library is a Time Machine Backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Reopen iPhoto with the Option key held down to choose another library."
    The only option is to close that window then and relaunch iPhoto as suggested with Option held down... that still will not allow me to put the pics in, however.  Any suggestions? Thanks!

  • What are the best low cost web cams to use with a Macbook Pro?

    I want to use both the Mac internal camera and a remote camera for teaching on Skype and I am therefore looking for the best solution for me - any help out there?

    For Skype use, see Skype Help starting at https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA603/which-webcams-and-headsets-will-work-with -skype?q=webcam. In general, webcams from http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com that meets your budget limits will work.
    I suggest a USB (versus Firewire) cam.  Don't install any software that comes with it (all necessary software is included in Mac OS X 10.4.9 and later), and it should work with your Mac.
    When your Mac recognizes more than one connected camera, most camera-capable applications have settings that allow you to choose which camera to use. However, they do not all work the same way.  (In most apps, the selector choices do not show if you do not have more than one camera.)
    To switch Skype between your inbuilt and external webcams, select the camera you want in the "Camera" choices bar of Skype Audio/Video Preferences as shown in this image:
    These previous threads contain some general information on how to select between connected camera in some other camera apps:

  • What is the latest version of Safari I can use on a MacBook Pro?

    I am attempting to take an online course and the site states that it does not support old versions of Safari; my version is 5.1.10. I'm not sure what to update to.
    Thanks

    Hi seitusink,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    The latest version of Safari on Mac OS X 10.6.8 would be 5.1.10. To get a newer version of Safari, you may want to consider updating your operating system. Mac OS X 10.9 is available as a free download from the App Store if your computer meets the System Requirements.
    The first article attached here shows the System Requirements for Safari while running Snow Leopard.
    Safari 5.1.10 for Snow Leopard

    The next article here will list the Mac OS X 10.9 System Requirements to see if your computer is compatible with the update.
