Software solutions to battery

Hi, I am a complete newbie to the macworld. I recently puchased the 2.16 gh 15 inch probook. I've only had it for about 2 weeks and overnight, it seemed like the the battery life had shrunk from spurts of 4 hours to about 1 hour and a 15 minutes. I've read over other topics regarding this issue and after checking for software updates, the battery life magically stabalized (for now) at 2 hours and 8 minutes (at 73%).
SO, my question is, how important are software updates regarding battery life? or is this a problem that may come back?
Thanks,
J

Enable/disable second monitor Mavericks - only software solution.

I am looking for a way to disable a second monitor (plugged into the Display Port of a 2011 Mac mini) without unplugging it. Does anyone know of a software solution?
When I am working I like that second monitor for desktop space, but other times (watching Netflix for example) the second monitor (in my case TV Sony Bravia) taxes the video card to much and degrades video playback performance. It would be great to have a software switch to ignore the second monitor. Right now, the only way I have found to do this is to unplug the display port cable from TV.
SwitchResX doesn’t recognize any of monitor or TV in Mavericks, so the app is useless. It would be fantastic if anyone know software solution (I really would like to have plugged second monitor all the time).
Thanx

I've been using SwitchResX for quite a while, sometimes buggy but very useful: http://www.madrau.com

KM Switch (Video not needed) or software solution

*Short version* - I need a USB switch that will allow me to share just my keyboard and mouse with my 3 PCs. Anyone know of one that works good and has that "sniffing" feature as to reduce any USB delay. I tried a 4 port Belkin USB switch, but it wasn't good. I want a KM only hardware or software solution that is convenient and supports my mouse's back button and does not have scrolling issues.
Thanks for any input...
*More details* - I have a monitor on my mac and a monitor on my xp machine. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a 4 port, DVI, USB KVM switch. I already have a 4 port PS/2 KVM switch and I am using it for my windows PCs. I am only using the video from it to switch between the windows PCs. I just want to be able to use my Mac keyboard and mouse (logitech) on all my PCs. I first tried using RDP, but I was not able to use the back button and had some scrolling issues that were unacceptable. Next I decided I would buy a Belkin 4 port USB switch. I just returned it because besides being a bad solution, the mouse locked up continuously. I then tried using KMremoteControl, but I am having trouble getting the license to activate (I emailed the company). From what I understand it is a free program, but they still sell it? Not sure what thats all about, but that also does not allow the back function on my mouse. Basically the best thing is for me to unplug the keyboard and plug it into each computer as I use it. Does anyone know of a good switch, so I don't have to do that? One that is compatible with windows of coarse and has a simple method of switching. The Mac usb extension cable was also incompatible with the Belking switch. Not sure why apple makes such a short cable in the first place.
For anyone who has read this, thank you, I appreciate it.

I have figured out why KMremote was not activating. I installed wireshark to sniff the network and I noticed some DNS issues during the activation process. For some reason it didnt like using my Linksys router as a DNS forwarder. I added the direct comcast DNS entries and it now works. I still dont have the back button on my mouse, but this is the best solution.
Thanks and hopefully this can help someone else.

Cannot sign with my MobileMe ID in ICloud (PC software), solution?

cannot sign with my MobileMe ID in ICloud (PC software), solution?

Sorry for not explaining properly.
I use two Apple IDs, one to use Apple store and another MobileMe to access email and iDisk.
When I upgrade to IOS 5, tried to keep the same configuration, which according to Apple support is possible.
I have do migrated from MobileMe to icloud, and have use icloud constantly in browser.
Initially, I was surprised that despite having installed ICloudControlPanel could not log it, but as I was using icloud with browser, was satisfactory.
Yesterday, I try logon with my Apple ID (used in Store) in ICloudControlPanel, and to my surprise I can sign and all interface of software was avaliable. So I tried to log with MobileMe account in ICloudControlPanel, and I have same problem, dont sign.
Thanks for any help, and sorry for the mistakes in English.

Encoding MPEG-s 2 hadrware/software solution?

Hi guys, and gals.
We've been using FCP to create DVD's for a while now, however we've found that going from timeline to DVD is FAR too slow. Our source footage comes from XDCam HD and imports at 1080i/50 and export to standard DVD settings.
We're aware of the known problem about Compressor not using all 8 cores of the Mac Pro. Also we're aware of the "solution" with regards creating a reference file, however, we have another problem were reference files are taking around 20mins to create instead of the usual near instantanious results.
What we'd like to know is:
1) Which would be better? A hardware encoding solution or software?
2) Which would be the best (in terms of speeding up the whole process) out of the software solutions?
3) any other ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Studio, resolution television.

Thanks Nick, i should have been clearer.
We are currently using fcp and then compressor/dvd studio pro.
And had already run through the Compressor hints you posted.
What we were hoping for is some advice on which hardware encoding system others are using or which software they would recommend.
Thanks for taking the time to post though.

Is there any software to fix battery issue of iphone 5? please let me know and how to do that.

software to fix battery issue of iphone 5??? please
thank you

Depends on which issue you have. Apple is working on an update to address a calendar syncing problem with Exchange accounts. Do you have an Exchange account?

Since I downloaded the recent software update, my battery charge lasts about 1/10 as long. Is there a new option that I can turn off that might be draining my charge?

There are just too many settings and combinations of apps and settings that affect battery use. Look through past posts for references to battery and read through them to get ideas. Some recent ones.. Turn down brightness and set Bluetooth off.

You could try Handbrake, it works quite well.

Full software solution, n911g drivers

My printer worked until a week ago. I cannot get it to work again. The HP help software tells me that I don't have the full software solution. I cannot find the disc that came with this printer. I did load the disc that came the same type of printer in my home. Is each printer's disk unique? Where can I get the "full software solution for this product"? I have downloaded the all officejet pro 8600 plus N911g software including the full drivers and updates. I have also installed the assistant software.
Where can I obtain the "full software solution for this product"?

Hello @helphpbob,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer stopped printing about a week ago from your Windows Vista computer and since than you have had issues with reinstalling the printer. I would like to assist you with this today. Now the HP Installer Disks are unique only to the series of printer. Therefore, if you use another HP Officejet 8600 printer you can use the disk from that printer to reinstall your HP Officejet 8600 printer. With that being said, you can also download the Full Feature Software and Drivers from the HP website, which I will assist you with. Can I please have you run through the steps below to install the latest drivers and fix your printing issue.
Step 1: Uninstall Drivers:
It's important to have a nice clean slate to work with when resolving software and driver issues. Therefore, I am going to have you start troubleshooting by removing every trace of the HP Officejet from your computer.
If using a USB Cable connection between your printer and your computer, please disconnect that cable now.
Click on your Start menu
Select All Programs
Select the HP folder
Select your HP Officejet
Select Uninstall
Follow any onscreen steps to complete the uninstall of your printer. Once the uninstall is complete please proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Clear the Temp Files:
Click on your Start menu
In the 'search programs and files' box located right above Start after your click on it type %temp% and hit enter on your keyboard. The Temp folder will now open.
In the Temp folder select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard. Everything in the Temp folder will highlight
Select the 'delete' button on your keyboard. The Temp folder contains temporary internet files. No actual files or folders on your computer will be affected by deleting the Temp files. Should a file in the Temp folder still be used than you wil automatically get the pop up to 'skip' that item.
Once the Temp folder is emptied, close the folder.
Right click the Recycling Bin on your desktop and select Empty Recycling Bin
Step 3: Reinstall Printer:
Please click here to download the latest drivers for your printer
Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left
Allow the Download to Run
Follow the onscreen steps to reinstall your printer
If using the USB Cable connection, do not plug in the USB Cable until the installation prompts you to.
Once the installation has completed, please test your printer to verify if your issue is resolved.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!
X-23
I work on behalf of HP
Please click "Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.
Click the "Kudos, Thumbs Up" on the right to say "Thanks" for helping!

After software/firmware UD, battery life decreased significantly+overheating problems

Specs of my laptop:
13 inch late 2011
2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
4gb 1333 MHz DDR3
Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Hi, a month or two ago I did a software/firmware update (the thing that automatically pops up once in a while and asks if you want to update). Before the update, I was getting 7-8 hours running safari on a bright level (more than half) which was awesome!
Anyways, after I did the update, my battery life decreased significantly. If my brightness was at half, I got around 2.5 hours MAX. If I ran word and safari it wouldn't even last two hours.
Along with the horrible decrease in battery life, my laptop now gets really hot, really quickly, even if I'm only running safari on a low brightness. Sometimes the fan vibrates becuase it's working so hard...it's NEVER done that before.
I took it into the Apple store 'genius' bar, since I still have the warranty and the person that helped me offered no resolution. He told me that my battery still has life and didn't know why my laptop did this, laughed...and then dismissed me (rude). haha
system report of the battery:
Firmware Version:          201
Hardware Revision:          000a
Cell Revision:          158
Charge Information:
Charge Remaining (mAh):          5281
Fully Charged:          Yes
Charging:          No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          5333
Health Information:
Cycle Count:          392
Condition:          Normal
Battery Installed:          Yes
Amperage (mA):          0
Voltage (mV):          12457
I'm not sure what any of this means, but the 'genius' told me my battery still had a lot of life.
I just want the battery life back.
Does anyone know what's going on and how I can fix it?
Thank you

Hi, thanks for your advice. I just tried resetting and it worked momentarily (battery life improved, fan stopped making so much noise) UNTIL I put my computer to sleep and opened it again... when i first reset, battery life said 5:48. The fan was fine until I put it to sleep (closed the lid and opened five minutes later). Now it's heating up again and the fan is going crazy (making that buzzing noise), battery life is at 2:40 on same display brightness (half). I only have safari open....
Is there anything else I can try to do? Not sure why this happens after I put it to sleep. I don't want to have to reset my computer every single time I open it.
thanks
EDIT: after posting this, not even five minutes later my battery time dropped to 2:07 and is funneling down as I type.

C#: Building a SOFTWARE SOLUTION from scratch to finish

Hello good people of MSDN. I have a VERY SIMPLE REQUEST... (Here goes)
I'm trying to build an Application (from scratch, custom specs) that allows the user to manage, organize and keep track of books that are available in a library. This system is to be made use of in environments such as personal library, public library, any
situation that requires/involves the constant movement of BOOKS.
Now, I have presented a solution to the client which works OKAY but there has been a SUDDEN CHANGE of heart, now the client wants the solution to be implemented quite differently. The solution that I BUILT is basically an ASP.NET C# Application that runs LOCALLY
so it opens up in the browser (IIS installed and all that) for the user to make use of the Application. Now when I want to have the entire Application to FUNCTION on another system I simply copy the Database, the Application folder (that has all the files
in it) place it in the IIS Directory... ... (So as not to waste your PRECIOUS TIME). To access the Application we simply open up the BROWSER enter localhost/the Application's URL...
The client, first of all does NOT want the BROWSER in the mix of things (ANYMORE !!!); secondly, does not want to have to go through all of this process of COPYING FILES INTO LOCATIONS, IIS etc etc in order to get the solution to WORK/OPERATE on another/several
other computers. The client wants to be able to have an EXECUTABLE INSTALLATION file that when clicked installs a SOFTWARE APPLICATION that opens up in its own WINDOW ENVIRONMENT without the help/assistance of the BROWSER !
This is my PREDICAMENT there's NO TIME... I need to AT LEAST present a working prototype in less than 24hrs!
So my questions are:
1.) Is there anyway for me to convert my ASP.NET C# Web Application into an installable client software without losing any of the components that make it work?
2.) If I have to build the ENTIRE Application into a WinForms PROJECT (I'm using VS 2010) can I STILL MAKE USE of the DATABASE I used for the ASP.NET C# Application?
3.) I don't want to have to DUMP my SQL SERVER DATABASE (as it is) to start creating a DB using something else like MS Access. Do I have a choice?
I have included with this post a Notepad doc that details the sketch of what I am HOPING to ACHIEVE. I would Appreciate it if anyone can (KINDLY) take it up and create according to the SPECIFICATIONS included in the doc. I have tried to be very DETAILED and
DESCRIPTIVE in the doc to make it easy for the DEVELOPER to FOLLOW THROUGH. Can it be done?
(If ANYONE can take it up and provide the solution it would be a good thing because it would ALWAYS be available to other DEVELOPERS who can read through the CODE and become better C# PROGRAMMERS and better at using Visual Studio. As this is a VERY REAL
LIFE SCENARIO coders can LEARN from the SITUATION).
At the end of the whole CODING PROCESS I intend to BUILD the Source to become a SINGLE EXECUTABLE FILE that will INSTALL the Application on the clients system. If anyone can PROFFER (and MAYBE RENDER) a SOLUTION that's ACCURATE, SPEEDY, RELIABLE to me, I would
be grateful!
The Software is to be used in a school. Students are only going to REQUEST for books, RETURN the books that they collected. They are NOT BUYING books!
Working/Functional Prototype
(The PROTOTYPE I hope to present REALLY SOON should be CAPABLE of the FOLLOWING)
1. Navigate/Move through the different Forms/GUI Screens when the appropriate buttons are clicked
2. Interact with the DB (to some extent) and carry out (for now)TRANSACTIONS like adding books, viewing list of books, delete book, Register Student (other DB operations can be included much later)
3. When the Application is LAUNCHED a Splash Screen is displayed introducing the Application (while the Application is loading), then when it's done Loading, the Application opens to present the Start Screen
4. An EXECUTABLE INSTALLATION FILE that can be used to conveniently INSTALL the Application on multiple systems... Just in-case it is to be installed on a computer system that's not Windows OS, I'd like for it to carter to dependencies appropriately.
PLEASE ANYONE that chooses to ASSIST (based on the SPECIFICATIONS) should KINDLY include the DETAILS of how the result was ACHIEVED so at least I can read through and understand the Application and conveniently make suitable/any necessary modifications (should
the CLIENT require that I do so). eg Step by step instructions on how to get the whole SOURCE CODE into INSTALLATION FILE, Setting up the Splash Screen, how the DB is made to connect to the front end GUI (eg ODBC, OLE DB that type of stuff)... etc etc
I'm trying to keep the prototype VERY SIMPLE so I can ACHIEVE something TANGIBLE in this short space of time then LATER any SOPHISTICATION can be included.
PS: I have done MY VERY BEST to plan out the Application Logic. So it should be easy to just READ over the Notepad docs I'm including here... As a pointer (should YOU decide to ASSIST) it would be FASTER to START with the WinForms, then MOVE to CREATING
the DB, afterwards LINK THEM...
Thank YOU ALL.

Hello,
Welcome to MSDN forum.
I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
Because your issue is about ASP.NET web application development, I suggest that you can consult your issue on ASP.NET forum:
http://forums.asp.net/
for better solution and support.
Best regards,
We are trying to better understand customer views on social support experience, so your participation in this interview project would be greatly appreciated if you have time. Thanks for helping make community forums a great place.

Genius Bar Guy Re-established Software to Solve Battery Problem 4S ???

iPhone 4S is 2-years-old and running iOS 7.1 was suddenly losing battery charge after a few hours in Standby mode.
I took it to the Apple Store and a guy from the Genius Bar took the phone into the back for 15 minutes and gave it back to me.
He said to try it for a few days.
He said it was a software problem and he had to "re-establish it to the normal software."
Anyone have a guess as to what that means?
Thanks, cb

What do you mean by "restored the device"
Did he back it up and restored factory settings? Then restored what he had backed up?
I should have asked him more questions.
Thanks, cb
