The setting for my macbook pro?

i mainly use my macbook pro as a desktop im always on and off what would be the best setting for me on the energy setting ?what are your setting and are they any pros and cons with a particular setting ?

No, after about 15-30 minutes the screen goes black. Hit the shift key or touch the trackpad to get everything back. While it was dark it was not sleeping. Emails still get received.

  • The battery for my macbook pro 13 says "service battery".  Now I want to get a replacement but the reviews for it are horrible! Does anybody have any suggestions?

    The battery for my macbook pro 13 says "service battery".  Now I want to get a replacement but the reviews for it are horrible! Does anybody have any suggestions? I don't want to spend 130 dollars on something I'm going to have to replace in less than a year (which is what normally I been reading)  I do design work and I take my mac everywhere.  Having to always look for a plug or having to be constantly plugged in doesn't sound ideal to me.  Please help me. what should I do???

    Why does it matter if it a scam????? I'll let you figure that out by yourself.  If I'm going to replace it, why should I be contempt with a battery that I have to replace within months (as stated by some people in the comments). The issue here is not if I should or not replace it OBVIOUSLY I'm going to have to before it starts going crazy.  The underlying issue is why is the replacement battery for a lack of better words " a bit crap."  It comes with a 3 month guarantee?? Is that a joke?!??!?! Some people complained it malfunction after only 8- 9 months? I'm sorry but as an Apple fan I think it's absolutely rubbish. I know there is no magic cure I'm just hoping someone shines the light on how crappy this replacement is.

    Guys, i am actually trying using a solution provided by the article shared by dominic23,
    It says "Another option is to get an ionizer to help the atmosphere in the workplace be more conductive and pull charges away from contact surfaces, including yourself."
    So in my home, we have such device that could clean the air using ion, and i am using it in my room...
    Result: BANG!!! The electric shock on my macbook has gone!! I don't really care about physics but somehow it works! You guys should give it a try.
    Thanks again dominic23

    Is there any other place that the serial # for a MacBook Pro can be found. I purchased this on Ebay and it functioned fine for 6 months and then it comes on with a blank screen.

    On mine at least, it's etched into the bottom cover. It's very tiny and on the screen hinge side of the casing.

  • How do I find the wattage for my MacBook Pro mid-2009

    I am thinking about purchasing a ChugPlug for my MacBook Pro. The suppliers, Lenmar tell me that it will work on any 13" MacBook Pro as long as it is a 45 or 60 watt MacBook.

  • I just ran the updates for my MacBook Pro and now my iphoto will not open.  It says "You can't use this version of the application "iphoto" with this version of os x.  You have "iphoto 9.2.3

    I just ran my updates for my MacBook Pro and now my iphoto won't open. I get a pop up that say's You can't use this version of the applicaton IPhoto with this version of os x.  You have iphoto 9.2.3.

    This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks.  It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
    Note 1:  every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
    Note 2:  If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1.

  • Optimal Scratch Disk Setting for Notebook/Macbook Pro Users

    After doing a ton of research, I came across THIS guidline for different scratch disk setups but I am still not sure what would be the best setup for me.
    Here is what I am working with for my Current Projects Work Station
    2011 i7 Macbook Pro with SSD as my main drive and 750GB 5400rpm HD in the optical bay.
    OWC Elite Mini and Dual Mini in Raid0 for Media Storage. Both 7200rpm Drives
    Currently I have my scratch disk set to the following:
    SSD: Startup drive, OS, Programs, Project Files and Exports
    750GB HD: Partitioned - 250GB to Backup SSD and 500GB for Photo storage and PP Scratch Disk Video, Audio and Previews
    OWC Minis: Media Storage for Current Projects
    My question is, what can I do to optimize my premiere pro settings?
    Should I move my scratch disk to my external HD since its a faster drive?

    I have a very similar setup but am using a couple pieces of new gear. Wondering if Harm or any of the rest of you have any advice.

    Samsung Electronics 840 Pro Series 2.5-Inch 512 SATA_6_0_gb Solid State Drive MZ-7PD512BW
    4th-generation 3-Core Samsung MDX Controller  ensures sustained performance under the most punishing conditions
    Backed by an industry-leading five-year limited warranty
    I have various LaCie drives that contain projects, media, exports connected via LaCie Tbolt esata adapter. So these are drives I've had for years that are now running at 3G esata speeds.
    I'm not using the 2nd internal drive for anything since it is 5400rpm. I just use it for backups, photo, music storage.
    So I ususally work small projects with the projects, media, exports, renders all pointing back to the esata connected external LaCies.
    Should I point media cache to the 500GB SSD my internal c drive? The answer to this is still confusing since I've read many conflicting posts in various places.
    Any other suggestions for now with this setup? (External Tbolt connected raid not yet in my budget.)

    My Battery had a meltdown in my Macbook pro last summer. I was fortunate enough that I removed it before any real damage was done to my computer, however I'm not sure of the correct model of my computer or where to find the correct battery for it. I want to be sure I don't buy the wrong replacement for it. Do all the Macbook pro's use the same battery from 2008 til now??? Please help!!!!!!! I'm tired of always having to be plugged in...lol

  • What type of memory would be the best for my MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2010?

    I have a Mid 2010 13" Macbook Pro and I'm going to upgrade my RAM. I know I can upgrade up to 8GB of RAM, but I was wondering what is the best "brand" and what website I should buy it from. For example, eBay, NewEgg, Amazon / PNY, Crucial, etc?  Can you guys help me out? Thanx!

    No one anywhere has repeatedly bought RAM from every RAM vendor everywhere, so no one is able to answer your question on the basis of experience. My own experience has been that OWC is a 100% reliable vendor of Mac-compatible products, including RAM, at good prices, with outstanding support and a warranty you can depend on. here's the RAM you need on OWC's site:
