Can you identify the symbol using the above guide?

Just a friendly comment that the list described on this link is incomplete.  If you are a rep of the site, you should update it to include additional symbols, such as the personal hotspot icon, the LTE icon, and the bluetooth device battery level icon.

  • What is the Best Usage to Prolong MBA Battery Life?

    Hello,
    I have a new (1/27/2011) MacBook Air 13" (4G, 256G, 2.13Ghz CPU).
    This is being written: 4/29/2011. For some time my charge indicator has not gone above 99% except very occasionally, and then, very briefly. I have noted an apparent decrease in battery 'life' (how long I can run the laptop from full charge to full discharge). Although I usually have only a browser (multiple tabs), WiFi (no Bluetooth) and, sometimes, a word processing application open with brightness at about 60%, but  I don't usually get, lately, more than 5 hours max. For example I have running since fully charged (99%) for 2:40 min with the usage pattern described above, and I now have 39% power showing.
    My normal usage pattern is to charge the battery fully and then let it discharge completely. If possible, I let it rest for at least a couple of hours fully charged on the charger, and fully discharged off the charger. This is not always possible but I probably do it 40 percent of the time, at least.
    "About this Mac" (More Info) shows 66 cycles and Full Charge capacity as 6354 mAh and a capacity of 94%. CocoBattery 2.7 shows 66 cycle and 6352mAh, and age of the Mac as 19 weeks.
    I feel that this decrease in ability to hold a charge is excessive compared to what Apple indicates is normal (80% loss in 2 years or 300 cycles). At this rate I will be at 80% of original capacity in 9 months, and 80% of capacity in about 200 cycles.
    I have read several of the excellent posts on this forum as well as the Apple info on batteries, battery cycles, and laptop batteries referenced here, but still am confused as the best way to proceed in order to prolong battery life.
    Would changing my usage pattern extend the working life of my MBA? Specifically (but not exclusively), would I be better off running on the charger more often, even if I were unable to fully charge or discharge the battery each time? As I understand it doing this will decrease my cycle count per unit of time, but it will also mean that I more frequently begin charging (or discharging) before current capacity (no pun intended) has reached maximum (or minimum).
    If the battery were more easily replaced, I would be less concerned (though not happy ) for, otherwise, I am truly pleased with this elegant and generally capable computer.
    Any information anyone can provide would be very much appreciated.

  • I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not. I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them.

    I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not. I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them. Please help! On top of that my Mac keeps telling me my start up disc is full and I am deleting stuff like crazy!

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    It won't be a problem if you delete your extra copies.
    I don't download very much to my tv, I do sometimes if I'm in bed but usually I do it from itunes. However if you have not fully downloaded something to the tv it is possible to start the download from itunes as well, you have likely activated 'check for downloads fin itunes in some way, could be by opening itunes, selecting 'check or downloads' from the advanced menu or that you simply have automatically check for downloads set in your prefs and it has checked coincidentally.

    What is the lock symbol with the circle around it in the upper right hand side of screen and what does it mean?

    Thank you. 
    Would there be any particular reason why my iPad will not join my wireless internet at home but my iPhone and Macbook are joined?  I thought that sign was hindering the connect but that is completely unrelated.

  • What does the wifi symbol on the bottom left of photos in iphoto signify?

    What does the wifi symbol on the bottom left of photos in iPhoto signify?  I believe that whatever this signifies is preventing me from syncing an album with my iPad and iPhone.

    It means the Photos are not in your Library but instead read from an online source.

    What is the little hole next to the headphone jack for? Not the SIM card eject on the side. The similar hole near the headphone jack.

    The hole on the top is your noise cancellation for phone calls and application VOIPs. It may also be used on other kinds of apps such as memos and video recordings.

  • What do the icons indicate next to the pages in the sidebar?

    Specifically, what does the icon of the silhouette of a person mean? I created a website over a year ago and went back today to update for the first time in forever. When I duplicated a few pages somehow the icons, instead of being little blank, red squares, had a silhouette of a person's head/shoulders.
    Then, when I tried to publish it to a folder on my hard drive, it said that it was successful, but my new pages aren't in the folder. I clicked "replace everything" but my new stuff won't show up.
    Any thoughts?

    They indicate which style of page template it is. When you create a new page in iWeb, you have a choice of eight page templates within each theme.
    Specifically, what does the icon of the silhouette of a person mean?
    It means the page is an "About Me" template.
