What is normal capacity versus number of cycles?

I own a MacBook Core 2 Duo 15" 3.33 GHz bought in November 2006.
I use it many hours a day on battery. Only when the low battery message appears do I connect it to power. It stays connected to power all night long (7 hours). The battery charges always to full capacity (99-100%) without problem.
But I am surprised by the way the maximum capacity is falling. For the first 6 months, the current capacity decreased slowly to 84-85% of the maximum.
I always apply all the updates including the battery update 1.2.
These last weeks, battery capacity as fallen to 50-55% but once it was again in the 80. From time to time I do a calibration of the battery.
Now, since a few days, in has dropped as low as 48% of the maximum. Number of cycles is reported as 360 for a total of 10 months.
I have made a new calibration leaving the computer alone for 5 hours after going to sleep after the low battery message, charging completely, leaving the computer connected for two hours,.. Capacity went from 46 to 50%.
In view of the high humber of cycles, is this a normal behaviour?

I calibrated my battery two times more (!); after the first operation capacity went to 54% and I used the computer normally; when power was nearly exhausted it suddenly jumped to 84%: a few minutes later the computer went to sleep.
After the second calibration, capacity was first given as 52% and completely charged (100%) . I didn't use the MacBook Pro for more than a few minutes and then I shut it down and left there not connected to AC for a few hours. Using it now, capacity is back at 84%.
I am working for more than an hour now on battery and everything seems to stay OK.
If this value for the capacity is maintained I will certainly not need to call Applecare as indeed the battery is within spec.
Thanks for the feedback.

Is there a way to cycle a while loop on its own and only controlled by the number of cycles?

Hello everyone,
Newcomer here, recenlty just took core 1 and 2 the past couple of months
is there a way to cycle my while loop so that the daq assist receives the same outputs from the list box table? So pretty much I need the VI to be able to read the voltages and time values from the list box and then execute them, I've manage to do this, but then I need it to stop for a given time and then execute again the same voltages. This would be controlled by a control for "number of cycles" input.
Can someone tell me why my "Emergency Stop" button doesn't stop the VI?
Why is my data logging only outputing one result if I have it to read ever min?
My wave form graph isnt plotting the temperature results, does it have somthing to do with the while loop?
I know this is a lot of questions, I'm just trying to solve this and learn from it.

You took core 1 and 2!!! Please tell me NI didn't teach it. I'm not trying to harp on you too bad because I think the instructor is more to blame. You have many wires going the wrong direction, multple loops doing nothing, and one loop that will never stop so even if all the others did there would be no way to stop your program, a Stop button that is read only once at the start of the application and then is never read again (so stop will never work). You have the inner loop running forever, but even if it did stop it would run the outer loop forever, your enums should be typedefed, uninitialized shift registers when not needed, dynamic data types, far too many express VIs...ouch.
To answer your question. If you have a while loop that needs to run 5 times, why not use a for loop? Then wire a 5 to the N terminal. If you do have to use a while loop for what ever reason, use the i terminal as a condition to stop. It will start at 0 and count up so a value of 4 means it will be executing the 5 time. If the value equals 5 then stop. Get the Array size of the Listbox and set your for loop to run for each item.

Normal capacity needed for other

I have an iphone 4s running 6.0.1
what is the normal capacity required for the "other" section?
After a restore that section is 18.6GB
Cheers

If you are currently syncing your contacts with Google, iCloud or an app on your computer (Windows Outlook, Mac or Windows Address Book) they will resync after the restore. If you are not doing any of these you should be.
Pics on your camera roll: You should regularly be copying them to a photo management app on your computer. Just sync them back to the photos app after the restore.
Music and Apps: Sync them back to the iPhone or download them again after the restore. You WILL lose app data (game scores for non-Game Center games, other app data that does not sync to desktop or cloud), however; no way around it.
To restore as new connect the phone via USB cable to a USB port directly on your computer (not a hub), and on the back rather than the front if it is not a laptop. Click once on the phone's name in iTunes. Right click on the phone's name and choose "Back up". When that finishes click on the Restore button on the iPhone Summary tab. Near the end iTunes will ask if you want to restore your backup; click to set up as a new phone.

What are normal business hours for support?

What are normal business hours for Apple Support in the Hong Kong region?
The support page at:
http://www.apple.com/hk/en/support/iphone/contact/
and the phone number, when called, do not specify normal business hours. In fact, the phone number, when called, only says "call back during normal business hours".
Please... are they open on Sunday, Saturday, 8pm, 7pm, ????????

Really kb1951, I did try calling on Saturday, about 6pm. They were closed. But that does not answer my question. And "normal" support lines do address their hours in the recording.
Additionally, if you call at 4pm, even, how does that tell you when they open??? Should I call at 7am, 8am, 9am, 10am, just to get my answer?
You trying to answer my question based on what other businesses do is really a waste of your and my time. As you're just "guessing". I can guess. I don't need you for that!
I came to the support community for a reason - to get an answer, not a guess.

How to improve the number of cycles on my MBA

What is better to charge you MacbookAir every time you can find power or just when the battery is totally discharged? I need to know how to improve the cycles of my battery

I would really like to avoid reducing the number of cycles
Actually... you probably want to reduce the number of cycles, not "avoid" reducing the number of cycles. As CW mentioned, you probably don't need to worry too much about your cycles and you should just generally use your MacBook Air as you need to. However, if you want to prolong your battery life, you should run it plugged in the majority of the time. You should not run the battery all the way down before recharging it again. It is necessary to do this when calibrating the battery, but this is something which only needs to be done ever few months:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1490
The more you run on battery, the more your cycle count will go up. In general, going through a cycle or so a week is a good minimum. A cycle is a full discharge and then full charge of your battery. So... if your battery is at 100% and you let it discharge to 0% and then fully charge it back up to 100% again, that would be once cycle. Likewise, partial discharge & recharges count as partial cycles. For example, if your battery were at 100% and you let it discharge to 90% and then recharged it back up to 100%, that would be 1/10th of a cycle. You would need to do that 10 times in order for it to count as one cycle. So, you can see that you will increase your cycle count much faster the more you allow your system to run on battery before recharging it.
These are really just general guidelines. There may be times when you're just not by a power outlet so you have no choice but to run your battery down. Regularly doing this will shorten the overall life of your battery. But, once in a while will have little impact.
Here are Apple's guidelines for battery care:

What is Maximum capacity of InfoCube?

Hi All,
Can anybody tell me the What is Maximum capacity of InfoCube?
Regards,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,
Each keyfiure occupies 10 Bytes of memory
Each Char occupies 6 Bytes of memory
So in an Infocube the maximum number of fields are 256 out of which 233 keyfigure, 16 Dimesions and 6 special char.
So The maximum capacity of a cube
= 233(Key figure)10 + 16(Characteristics)6 + 6(Sp.Char)*6
Hope this will be helpful

It must be PA3513U-1M2G. You must check if this module is compatible with your notebook model. I think so.
Anyway I recommend you to buy high quality product like Kingston modules.

How to count the number of cycles in sine wave

Hi,
I am new to Labview. I have labview 8.2 version and my dataacquisition is NIDAQPAD6015. I could write a program to generate a sine wave of desired frequency through simulate signal. My question is how do i measure the number of cycles for this sine wave as soon as I run the program. Hope my question is clear.
Ravi Mokirala

To find the offset (which in this case is the Y value midpoint around which the sine wave is symetrical):
Capture more than one cycle. Find the min and max values. Subtract Min from Max and divide by 2. Then subtract this result from the Max value (or add the result to the Min value). This is the offset.
To count the number of cycles where the offset is unknown, just use the first data point value as a reference. If the next data point is more positive, then count the number of times that the first data point is repeated and the next data point is more positive. Of course with DBL data type, you probably would not get the exact same value as the first data point, so you need to use In Range with a very tiny limit. It all depends on your signal amplitude, frequency, and sampling rate.
Example: Lets say your first data point value is 0.5 and the 2nd point is 0.55. You need to look for another value that is between 0.48 and 0.52. Then read the very next data point value. If it is greater than the previous value, add one to the cycle count. If it is less than, you are at half a cycle, do not add to the count.

What is the maximun recommended number of probes, rservers, server-farms

Team,
What is the maximun recommended number of probes, rservers, server-farms, class-maps, policy-maps per context on an ACE module?
Regards,

John,
A practical limit on ACE module is 4k each for probes, serverfarms, class-maps & policy-maps. Rserver instances can be up to 16K. These limits represent total per system. They may exist all in a single context if desired. These numbers will vary based on specific configuration requirements.

Library size: what's "normal"?

I have around 13,000 images equaling 140 GB. When I first built a library, with normal rendered previews, the library was close to 19 GB.
I then rebuilt the library, I believe without previews, and it reduced its size to under 2 GB. Now, my libary has swelled to around 8 GB, even if I delete the 1:1 previews.
What is "normal" or reasonable when working with LR? How can I keep a balance between speed and reasonable library size? Is a new hard drive looming in my future?
I would appreciate guidance, clarity, and recommendations!
Thanks!
Reid

Hello, Reid. I recall your posting on this some time ago, and since then I concluded for the mix of images I put in, the library plus previews will equal somewhere between 8 and 12% of the overall. Recognizing milegae, of course, but it doesn't seem like you are out of line.

Control frequency and number of cycles

I am trying to use a stepper motor and a motion controller to control a push rod. The push rod will fatigue sutures that are attached to a valve. My question is if there are any sample codes in labview that will help me control the frequency and the number of cycles. I will also have a load cell to give me a force profile.

Hello,
Have you looked at the Motion shipping examples for LabVIEW? There is a particular example, One-Axis Move (Accel - Max Velocity - Decel).vi, which is located at:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\examples\Motion\FlexMotion\One Axis.llb
This example allows you to control the acceleration, deceleration, velocity, and target position (in counts) of the movement. There are a number of other shipping examples located in the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\examples\Motion\FlexMotion directory that may be of additional assistance in developing your code. I would suggest starting with the One-Axis Move example first, though.
Take a look at that example and let me know if you have any additional questions on this issue.
Regards,
Scott R.

Finder crash & battery number of cycles error?

Hello everyone,
First of all, this is about my Macbook Air mid2011 13inch.
I started to use this Macbook since beginning of August in 2011.
Begin of September 2014, my battery number of cycli was 1159
I use this Macbook like almost everyday since I bought it and even when I don't use it, I keep running it like 24/7.
Calculation: Beginning of August 2011 - Begin of September 2014 = approx. 36 months = 1095 days
Battery number of cycli in 1095 days = 1159
Each day was around +1,05 cycli.
But here is the problem:
My battery was defect after reach the 1000 cycli, the Macbook was out of battery every 1 hour instead of 7 hour.
I went to the AppleStore on 10th September to change my Battery.
The employee has replaced a new battery for me. The battery number of cycli of my Macbook Air went to 1.
That's a good news.. BUT after the replacement, I noticed that there are 2 problems with my Macebook Air.
1. My Finder keep crashing all the time!
2. I have only used 17 days after the battery replacement and the number of cycli is already 45!
Each day is now around +2.64 cycli.
I suspect that this Macbook wil reach number of cycli 1000 within 13 months.. why? 13 months = 365/12*13 = 395 days
395 days * 2.64 cycli a day = 1042 cycli

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.
