What happens when charger gives a green light

If I left the charger on after a green light is shown and kept using it, which of the following is the real case?
1. the charge goes directly to the CPU, GPU, Harddisk, etc. without charging of the battery, or
2. the components above are still powered by the battery as if unplugged, while the charger is actually charging the battery as the battery discharges.
I'll vote for 1 as I think the engineers in Apple is collectively smart enough. In the case it is not theoretically possible, then I am silly enough. ^ ^
Thanks.

But If you will keep doing No. 1, it would not be healthy for the battery. Electrons in the battery should be kept moving all the time.
This is almost correct. The battery needs to be used periodically, not all the time.
Apple considers once a month to result in a good balance between a battery's finite cycle limit and its ultimate longevity.

It really is best not to obsess about this. Plug it in and use it that way when it is convenient, unplugged when it's not.
No matter what you do, batteries are wear items that will require eventual replacement. Budget 50¢ a week for battery depreciation and you will have more than enough money to buy a genuine Apple replacement when it is required.

I just bought my macbook pro and it's charged up to 100% and is still plugged in but now shows the battery at 98%. How is this possible when it's plugged in to the charger and the green light is on?

The system regularly lets the battery drop to about 95% when on the charger, then recharges to 100%. This lets the batery exercise "just a little" all of the time and saves the recharge curcuits from overuse.
Regualr occurence for me.
Also ... you need to let your battery work at least once per month. Let it run down to 40%, but not less if you can at all avoid it. Running thr battery fully dead will shorten the battery life significantly.

It will not automatically delete any emails; you will need to do that. You may suffer performance issues in Mail if you let your mailboxes become too bloated. And, aside from Mail, the files take up a lot of room are photos, videos, and music, so you might want to watch those - every once in a while, check how much hard drive space you have and make sure you empty the trash regularly. Checking your hard drive space: highlight your Macintosh HD icon on the desktop; hit Command + I and check the total capacity, and how much is left.

If you are talking about activation lock you are out of luck. Without that information you cannot activate the device and have just lost your money. Unless you can find the person and get your money back.

Bh-217 charging problem. no green light

just bought bh-217 car kit edition as a gift to someone. But before presenting it i wanted to test it just in case. And i noticed this following problem.... manual sayed that it takes up to 2 hours to full charge and then the green light should light up. My problem is that there is no green light, it is only red light flashing that suposed to indicate battery charging status. what might be the problem? faulty battery? faulty headset? it is over 12 hours already and i dont see no green light.
I would like to also add that green light itself working, i mean its not like the green led light is broken...just it doesnt indicate when the battery is fully charged.
ps.
manual doesnt say anything about charging up to 12 or 16 hours for the first time. it just sayes that charging cycle is up to 2 hours. I have the manual in many languages. I've checked in estonian, russian and english: the text is the same, it sayes up to 2 hours charging time.

Hello together,
I just brought back in the store my first BH-217 an received the second. At the second BH-217 only the red light is flasching. And the silly thing is that the BH-217 isn't charging. No green light.
Also the manuel is saying nothing about flashing red ligt. Only about a red light. There isn't any change to to ask somebody from the nokia support. So I thing, I will bring back in the shop the second BH-217 in order to receive the third one.
When the third one isn't working well, I will get a headset from Sony.
To the nokia support. Sorry, but what you guys are doing isn't customer support.
Kind regards

I want to change my Apple ID because I have a new email address, but what happens when someone tries to facetime me using my old Apple ID?

I want to change my Apple ID because I have a new email address, but what happens when someone tries to facetime me using my old Apple ID? Will they still be able to contact me on facetime using my old Apple ID?

Not if you change the ID. You would need to give them the new address.

Lost my iPod, remotely locked it through iCloud. What happens when the battery goes out?

Hello!
I lost my Ipod, but managed to locate and lock it remotely through Find my iPod and iCloud. It was located once, but hasn't been located again in the last four days. I think the battery may have run out. What happens when the battery is charged and the iPod turned back on? Does the lock and everything else that can be controlled with Find my iPod still apply?
Thank you!

Yes, because when you remotely lock the iPod via Find my iPod, the lock code is set as the lock code that you would use to unlock the iPod if you used a passcode normally. As long as the iPod is still connected to your Apple ID, Find my iPod should work as log as the iPod is connected to wifi.

Captured on the DVX-100 what happens when I export it to HDV-1080i50

I Captured footage on the DVX-100, what happens when I export it to HDV-1080i50.
Is it then considered HD?

The short answer is "yes, BUT…"
DVX-100 is a DV camera, thus it only captures DV. You can export your DV sequence to whatever format you desire, like HDV (a consumer-level version of HD), but that doesn't mean it will look as good as footage natively shot in HD. You gain no quality at all, in fact you lose quality due to scaling the footage up from the DV to HDV framesize. There are workflows for upconverting your DV footage to HDV or HD posted all over this forum and elsewhere on the Net. A quick search should give you some insight into the process.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN...........

I have a dual boot set up with 98se and XP. The 98 drive is hurtin and is gonna give up the ghost soon. What happens when I replace it with a new drive? Will I have to Reactive XP? I hope not. BIGDADDY51CT. Any info?

Hi bigdaddy,
Have you installed the other drive after the XP disk was installed?
If the stuff worked well in that case you can easily change disks, coz it worked in the past.
Have a look at on which drive the files :NTDLR, boot.ini, ntdetect, are because that's the drive XP is booting from. That is your actual C:\.
If those files are on the defective drive you have a problem because I don't know if you can copy them to another drive and make them working.
If you are going to try and copy you CANNOT boot to XP and copy them coz they are locked, make sure to see hidden files in the explorer else you won't be able to see them.
This is not going to be easy so good luck,

HT1657 What happens when you rent movies and they don't play? How come that question is not on the list?

What happens when you rent movies and they don't play and you tried getting credit for it? I rented two movies which they were very very old movies in black & white and they both don't play. I never had this problem before even when downloading videos. Now how can I get credit for it? I contact itunes a number of times and no one has done nothing as of yet. Itunes also asked me for my order number which I sent them but still no credit.

Great question MommaBof4! This is actually something that can be completed. VZW does have the option to turn this feature on or off based upon the users request. If you would like to update this feature on your device please give us a call by dialing *611 send from your VZW device, thanks!

What happens when an iPod is synchronized with an iTunes library that is bigger than the available space on the iPod?

What happens when an iPod is synchronized with an iTunes library that is bigger than the available space on the iPod? I did this some time ago. On screen was shown available space somewhat less than 120 GB, but maybe somewhere between 10 and 20 GB more in the library. I had to get the iPod updated anyway, so I did proceed. However, afterwards the total content of the library was only about 110 GB. Now I wonder what did actually happen. Was the first sign only corrected for double copies of the same files or lost files or where files deleted from iTunes? And if files where deleted from iTunes, were they also deleted from my computer?

Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one. Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

What happens when multiple users access the same servlet?

Do the users share all the same resources? Or is a new process generated for each user? I have a servlet that builds a string to return to the user and I only have myself to test, so I can't really see what happens when many users access the servlet. Is there a possibility that the string will get screwed up, like when dealing with multiple threads, or do all the users get their own resources and I don't have to worry about that?

huh? if you can point a test servlet at it, you can point a browser at it (even if the servlet does not serve html it will run)
try pasting the servlet URL into a web browser
refreshing multiple browsers repeatedly could provide a manual test
