Should you shut down your macbook every time you're not using it?
I've had my macbook for five years now and I was never told if I should be shutting it down whenever I'm not using it. Now after five years of doing this and never really having an problem I'm noticing that there is a lag in time and it does take forever to start back up once I turn it on, also my battery life is horrible I could probably go two hours (if that) without having to attach it a power soucre. I've started to notice it more since I've downloaded mavricks, so I'm wondering is this just because it's an older model and I've using it so much that it's just geting used to new software; or is this simiply a result of me shut it down and turning it on when using the macbook? The macbook itself is still great and I have no real issue with it, it's more of a worry I have with it. I'm starting grad school in the fall and I want to know if it's time that I should get a new macbook or if this puppy still has a lot more years with me.
If you've never replaced the hard drive, it could be slowing down - 3 to 5 years is the typical lifespan for a notebook hard drive.
Do you know how much RAM is in the computer?
If the computer mostly works OK, you may just need to invest in it a little - replacing the hard drive & upgrading the RAM will breathe new life into it, most likely!
You do not need to shut it down each time you're done using it - in fact, I leave my MacBook asleep 90% of the time and reboot it every couple of weeks or when it seems to be getting a bit sluggish. I've been doing that for the last 7 years and she's still chugging along.

Should i shut down my macbook air each night
how often should i shut down my macbook air?
if youre not using it for a few hours
leaving your macbook both ON charge AND in sleep mode is bad on the battery
merely in sleep is another matter, which is fine.
Considerations for the long life of your MacBook. Handling and environmental care tips
General consideration of your MacBook battery
Contrary to popular myths about notebook batteries, there is protection circuitry in your Macbook and therefore you cannot ‘overcharge’ your notebook when plugged in and already fully charged.
However if you do not plan on using your notebook for several hours, turn it off (plugged in or otherwise), since you do not want your Macbook ‘both always plugged in and in sleep mode’.
A lot of battery experts call the use of Lithium-Ion cells the "80% Rule", meaning use 80% of the full charge or so, then recharge them for longer overall life. The only quantified damage done in the use of Lithium Ion batteries are instances where the internal notebook battery is “often drained very low”, this is bad general use of your notebook battery.
A person who has, for example, 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 40% remaining of a 100% charge has a better battery condition state than, say, another person who has 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 10-15% remaining on a 100% charge. DoD (depth of discharge) is much more important on the wear and tear on your Macbook’s battery than the count of charge cycles. There is no set “mile” or wear from a charge cycle in specific. Frequent high depth of discharge rates (draining the battery very low) on a Lithium battery will hasten the lowering of maximum battery capacity.
All batteries in any device are a consumable meant to be replaced eventually after much time, even under perfect use conditions.
If the massive amount of data that exists on lithium batteries were to be condensed into a simplex, helpful, and memorable bit of information it would be:
1. While realistically a bit impractical during normal everyday use, a lithium battery's longevity and its chemistry's health is most happy swinging back and forth between 20% and 85% charge roughly.
2. Do not purposefully drain your battery very low (10% and less), and do not keep them charged often or always high (100%).
3. Lithium batteries do not like the following:
A: Deep discharges, as meaning roughly 10% or less on a frequent basis.
B: Rapid discharges as referring to energy intensive gaming on battery on a frequent basis (in which case while gaming, if possible, do same on power rather than battery). This is a minor consideration.
C: Constant inflation, as meaning always or most often on charge, and certainly not both in sleep mode and on charge always or often.

How to properly shut down your Macbook?
Hello, I have been using a Macbook Pro for nearly a year now. I would like to know what is the proper way to shut down your macbook?
I went to iStudy for some app instalment and the sales asisstant gave me a piece of (advice?) that whenever I want to shut down my macbook, i should just snap it close after I have quit all the running applications. I don't have to press the shut down button on the keyboard or choose shut down at the apple upper menu bar cause it may damage my RAM.
Yet, I knew this girl who just paid 2K just to fix her motherboard due to improper way of shutting down her Mac.
So, my problem is do you have to shut your Mac down JUST by snapping it close (and of course, quit all the running applications)? Or you shut your Mac down by simply go to the Apple in the upper menu bar and choose shut down?Hi alswaki,
When you close all apps and then physically close it, you are putting the Mac into Sleep mode, not shutting it down. So, it depends on what you actually want to do. When you go to the Apple menu and select Shut Down, it literally shuts off the Mac, and you have to push the on/off button to start it back up. By closing the lid, you are putting it into Sleep mode so when you open the lid again, the Mac doesn't have to be powered back on to start up again.
Both are correct things to do. I pretty much don't shut down my Mac at all. I close my apps, and close the lid, then plug it in to recharge. When I want to use it, I open it and it "wakes up". I only restart it when I need to for an update, I pretty much never shut it down.
But again, either way is fine to do. If you want to completely power down your Mac when you finish using it for the day, then you would select the Shut Down option. Otherwise, just close it to put it into Sleep mode when not in use.
Cheers,

The following article may help you to make decision:

My experiences: there are many computer equipments have been running 10 or even 20 years continuously and now no one is willing to turn them off because they may never turn on again. Just ask someone who has few FEP's (Front End Processor) running now.

Should I shut down my iPhone every night? Sleep vs shut-down.
Hi, If I never use my phone during the night, should I shut it right down every night? How much energy is used when the iPhone "sleeps" for 8 hours?
Thanks for your thoughts on this!My battery will loose about 10% (polling email every hour, and push IM left on) over 7.5 hours.
You can leave it on and I think Apple intend people do, because otherwise alarms will not go off, I use the alarms to wake me up The best option is to leave it on and plugged in. -
I'm in high school and Im constantly running from class to class, and many I need my macbook pro for. The thing is though, I never shut it down when running from class to class with it in it case (the case is like a briefcase type thing), it is only in sleep mode. I'm just worried that all the swinging of the bag its in while I still have it running in sleep mode will break it? I mean, it glitches sometimes when I open it up from sleep mode, the screen sort of flashes and it freezes up a bit. Could this be a result of me not shutting it down when I move it?
Without shutting it down, sleep mode suffice, of course you shouldn't bang or drop the Mac.

How frequent should I shut down my PC?
Hello,
I hope you don't mind asking this question. I just could not prevent but to know, using PC(laptop) is a part of daily life, sometimes it is more than 10 hrs need keep running a day. So lot of stress on it. Generally I am used to shut down my PC each day night before sleep and start fresh next day morning. As we all know I have some other options available like keep my PC in sleep or hibernation instead of shutdown. Now my question is what is the best way practice in order to keep my PC in good health? Should I everyday shout down and start fresh as said above or I can keep it in sleep for couple of days etc. Which is good to practice? My PC is HP 430.
Thanks,
Regards,
Cyberkhan

Message "are you sure you want to shut down your computer now"
I am in OS 10.8.5 on a Mac Pro. I get repeated message upon start-up "are you sure you want to shut down your computer now?" Restarting does not stop the message. Nor does canceling it. It keeps occuring, blocking my ability to do applications. Because it comes to the front all the time, and the "shutdown" button is lit, if I inadvertently hit a return key while typing something else, the computer shuts down. I have a western digital backup disk-dismounting that has no effect. I have also run the disk utility permissions repair a few times to no avail.
Thanks for any advice.
Nov 26, 2013This might happen if your power button is malfunctioning. Remember a slight tap of the power button will bring up that screen. Bring it in for service if it is readily reproducible.

I use my PowerPC Quicksilver G4 (2.1), 867 MHz, 1.5 GB standart video card system 10.4.11 to scan (lack of driver for my Mac Pro 10.6.8)
The G4 has been running flawless, now I get kernel panics every time (shut down your computer). When it stays on I get blotched video
left-over spots, tearig and then shut down your computer...
I did all recommended software tests Diskutility, rebuild with DiskWarrior and Apples full Hardware test. Everything comes out fine!
I am at the end of my know how. Thank you for any help

Yes I ran short and the Extended Test. All pass. One of the first things I did is Safe Boot several times I also repaired permissions. Safe boot takes no longer than before the crashes and as long as I stay in safe boot mode it won't crash. What does that mean?I also ran MacJanitor and removed the SCCUZI card Apple put in when I bought the G4 as well as an M-Audio Delta 66 card which I do not use (both) anymore. I also started up on an external firewire drive 10.4.6. It also (crashes) does the same thing.
I was hoping somebody understands the crash report I enclosed? Isn't that suppose to say what went wrong?
Thank you again for your input BDAqua

"You must shut down your computer" error. Do I need to do something?
Hi,
A few minutes ago my Macbook Pro (late 2009 model running 10.7.2) crashed and flashed the "You must shut down your computer" sign. I rebooted and at the moment the MBP is up and running again but I am not sure whether I should take it in for servicing or not. The kernel panic report is attached.
Thanks for your response.

Aperture 3 shuts down every time I try to use it after only using it for one minute. Aperture closes then a pop up screen asks if I want to reopen Aperture. If somrone at Aperture didn't keep pushing a stop button for it to close,Apple wouldn't need to ask the stupid question"Do you want to reopen Aperture?" to begin with. Anyone out there having the same annoying problem?? I like Aperture or used to anyway,but if this nonsense continues, I will be forced to buy some other editor besides "No hanging fruit - Adobe photoshop CS5" or "I don't like you so I'm shutting down - Aperture".
Hello,
sorry to hear about your troubles, but we will need to have more technical information about your problem to be able to help you:
There may be several reasons that can cause Aperture to crash on start up:
You may have imported an image (or video) in an encoding that Aperture does not support, or that is larger than 2 GB, or that is corrupted and Aperture cannot process it
Your Aperture Library or Preferences may have been corrupted
Or you are having a system wide problem with your machine.
Or you may simple be running out of disk space.
It would help, if you could post the crash log from your last crash. Also, more details on your Aperture Library: Is it managed or references? how large is it? Is it on your system drive or on an external drive?
What have you done, shortly before the trouble started? Have you imported new images or videos? Did you install any plug-ins or any new software, lile Final Cut?
Try, if you can get Aperture to launch, if you defer the generation of Previews: Hold down the SHIFT-key immediately after you start Aperture to prevent preview generation for that session. If a damaged image in your library is preventing normal opening, this may allow you to start Aperture. If this succeeds, try to identify the broken image or video among the images you recently imported and remove it from the library.
Regards
Léonie

I see a small window displaying "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now". How do I stop appearing this window
Is this after you've chosen to Shutdown from the Menu, or just on it's own?
You can press the esc key to cancel, or Enter key to shutdown.
Check your System Preferences>Energy Saver>Schedule & see if it's set to shutdown at a certain time.
