  • Is there a way of stopping the battery from charging?

    Dear Apple Community,
    Recently I installed iStat Menus and found that, over the course of this year, my Macbook's charging capacity has dropped 5%. I know this isn't a massive number, but battery performance has become a concern for me. I use my Macbook as a desktop replacement, on the main. It's sitting on a mStand, connected to a large monitor on my desk. I use my Macbook to play games, surf the internet, do work and all that good stuff - basically, I use it for everything. I rarely use the Macbook without it being plugged in. I read on the Apple website that they do not recommend leaving the Macbook on charge permanently and that I should use it on battery at least one a month. As I use my Macbook as a desktop replacement, I don't actually have a lot of opportunity to do this.
    My question to you, the community, is: is there a way of stopping the battery from charging, either with the use of an app or a physical device? Ideally, I would love to have my power plugged in BUT only used when the battery drops below 10%. Is this possible with an app?
    On the other hand, am I just worrying about nothing? Will my battery be damaged further if I leave the Macbook charging permanently?
    Thanks for your help!

    Ideally, I would love to have my power plugged in BUT only used when the battery drops below 10%. Is this possible with an app?
    The charging characteristics are handled in firmware.  There is no app that would be able to do this.  You actually would not want to do this anyway.  Regularly discharging your battery to 10% will greatly decrease the life of your battery.  While it is true that you should not use your system exclusively plugged in, allowing it to run on battery a few hours a week should be fine.  Letting the battery regularly run down to (or below) 10% will cause you to use up cycles more quickly than is necessary (thereby reducing the life of your battery).  It's really a only a matter of disconnecting your Magsafe connector once in a while.
    Leaving it plugged in does not result in it being charged "permanently".  It will charge until it is full and then charging will stop.  It will only begin recharging when it reaches about 95%.

  • How do I stop my photos from disappearing?

    LG G3 - I took many photos over the weekend. While I was looking at the gallery Sunday night, the gallery images started suddenly showing with gray bars on photos, then suddenly turning into a question mark icon like the phone had no idea what the file was.
    the phone has always worked fine, and I have never had any problems before. I have not installed any new updates or apps recently. I have no third party photo manager - just use the gallery and associated apps that came with the phone. I do not use Google+.
    Every time I look at the phone, more of my photos are replaced with the ? icon. If I take a new photo, I can look at the photo within the camera and see it fine. I can open the gallery and see the photo fine. Then suddenly, the gray bar will appear on the image and it will change to the ? icon.
    I have done the following troubleshooting:
    1. rebooted my phone.
    2. Shutdown the phone, and let it sit off for 2 minutes, then restarted the phone.
    3. Shutdown the phone, took out the battery, and let it sit for 2 minutes, then restarted the phone.
    4. unmounted the SD card, shutdown the phone, took out the SD card. replaced the SD card and restarted the phone.
    5. verified that the camera is storing photos to the SD card
    6. Changed the camera storage to memory, and back to SD card.
    Any suggestions on how to stop my phone from being confused and realize that the files it seems to not understand are actually the photos I took with the camera on the device, and that it really did understand all of the photos at one time?
    I do not have the ability to plug my microSD card into my PC. My PC does not have a micro slot and I do not currently have the ability to go buy an adapter
    If your advice is anything like "should have backed up the phone" your condescending input is not needed. This is not a backup issue, this is an issue with the phone forgetting what photos are.

        Oh goodess hammer1959! Let's see what's going on with your phone. I really apppreciate all the details you've provided so far. Please try clearing cache in the camera to see if this gets resolved. When completed, please restart phone. http://vz.to/1s5uICj

  • How can I stop my iPhone from becoming a brick because it loses service.

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 5, currently with iOS 8 GM, and the problem with my iPhone is after maybe 5 minutes of being locked, if you turn it on, it loses service, or drops down to 1 bar (circle) says "Searching..." Then after 30 seconds, I will get service again. It does this 9 out of 10 times I want to use my phone. But that part isn't the issue, the issue I'm having is, with iOS 8, if it loses service for a while, I get a "Activation Required" and I can't use my phone at all until I reactivate it. Not a problem if I'm around Wifi, it takes 4 seconds to activate it. BUT, I'm not always around wifi and I can't use Cellular Data to activate it. I get a "Could not reach activation servers" or something. So my question is, what can I do about this? Besides getting a new phone, I already preordered the iPhone 6, and that could take 2-6 weeks to replace this phone. Is there some setting that is blocking it from activating on Cellulor Data? Can I permittatly keep it activated? Anything that will stop the phone from becoming a brick 2-4 times a day.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ryan.

    I agree that it is a hardware issue and I would have replaced, but losing service was something I just delt with over the years, but now with iOS 8, its becoming a problem. Plus with the release of the iPhone 6...
    I just thought I missed a software setting that would block activating on Cellular Data or something similar to that.

  • When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

    When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

    In Logic:
    Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
    This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
    On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number.  It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

  • How do I stop the console from reporting errors on an application I have already deleted?

    Hi, I'm somewhat new at using macbook pros.  My macbook pro runs snow leoperd 10.6.8.  I just recently learned that console is a good way to check on what your computer is doing so i went in checked on it.  I noticed that a program i recently deleted called teamviewer was logged A TON.  There had to have been thousands of logs.  I had thought that I completely removed this application but it is constantly logging logs that look like this:
    3/4/13 9:17:04 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[96] (com.teamviewer.desktop) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

    3/4/13 9:17:13 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.teamviewer.service) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
    I would like to stop my macbook pro from doing whatever it is doing but I can't really understand technical talk so I have no idea what to do.  How do I stop my computer from doing whatever this is and completely delete teamviewer off of my computer?

    Sounds like you deleted the TeamViewer application, but did not uninstall the software, using whatever uninstaller is provided.
    In this case, it looks like you still have a LaunchAgent installed. In the Finder, choose Go -> Go to Folder and enter the following path:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents
    In that folder, delete anything that has TeamViewer in the name. If you don't see anything there, try looking in this folder instead:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    After deleting from either of those locations, restart your computer.

  • How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

    How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

    Thanks for the tip.  If only I could find somewhere where I did not lose the signal.
    I am based in the United Kingdom. The carrier is Orange.
    I lose the signal inside buildings and outside of buildings.  It happens at work and at home.  It happens in Centarl London in the open air and inside.  It happens in small towns.. It happens in the countryside.  It happens in motor cars.  It happens in airports.  It happens when the battery is fully charged, when it is half charged and when it's low on charge.  It happens using the phone, when reading messages and when using the internet.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can i stop my apps from transferring off my ipod when the software updates?

    whenever i install new software updates, my ipod touch takes everything off and transfers it to my computer. when it puts everything back, anything ive paid for i lose. is there is way to stop the apps from transferring so i dont lose everything ive already paid for, or losing my place in a game i play?

    In iTunes use the File menu "Transfer purchases from..." item. Ordinarily you will get a warning to do this before an update. Presumably your computer is authorized to use your account and it is the computer to which you normally sync your iPod?
