What mode should i put my computer in before travel

Ok, i will be bringing my macbook to school with me come this semester. what mode should i put the laptop in before putting it back into my book pack after a class to travel to another class. So im looking for a mode like sleep, completly shut down, etc. that will be safe to move the laptop around. preferably a mode that has a quick start up time so i can put it into whatever mode, travel then put it down and quickly restart taking notes. thanks

Relying on the Sudden Motion detection is not a good practice. The safest way to travel with your Macbook (and hard drive that spins) is to shut it down, anecdotal experience aside, it is the best practice. I work with peole who carry their PC laptops around running and they have no problems (except they heat up) but that is like saying, I don't wear my seatbelt and I have never needed...until you crash. Shut it down. It will not save that much time using sleep mode and restarting does some initialization that binary computers need.
That is complete untrue. Sleep mode puts the HDD to sleep, basically OFF (Not Spinning) so the SMS does not even come into play when in sleep mode.
If you carried your notebook with the lid/screen open and not in sleep mode then you do depend on the SMS to Dock the HDD heads when a sudden movement may/might damage the drive. This is not the case in sleep mode even with the lid/screen open.

  • What jars should i put in my classpath?

    Hello
    I have installed the pack summer 02
    What jars should i put in my classpath to avoid the error I get every time i run this test program:
    import java.net.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import org.w3c.dom.*;

    Thanks

    Whichever jars have the classes that you want to use (you should probably put all the jars that you got with this program)
    Also, try adding an import statement:
    import org.apache.crimson.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl;

  • I will be traveling to Hungary,Austria,Germany and the Chec Republic on a river cruise. Will I be able to use my iPad and if so what ,if anything do I have to do before traveling?

    I will be traveling to Hungary, Austria,Germany on a river cruise. Will I be able to use my iPad and if so what,if anything do I have to do before travel?

    Most hotels, resort, hostel & motel in Europe provide power plug adapter if you forget to bring one or couldn't get them, no worries.
    Also, most countries you are going do sell travel adapted in Apple Store & Apple Resellers.
    In addition, almost all international airport sell them as well if you plan to do a last minute shopping.
    By the way, you can lease or rent SIM / Micro-SIM card for your iPad in case you have an unlocked 3G model.
    Rates are pretty reasonable.
    This will allow you to Tweet/FB and download all your travel photos.

    No intention to dispute your advice here Pancenter, but just out of interest, what kind of problems are you referring to?
    Thanks in advance!
    Since it was a new iMac he was going to purchase, there is the huge iMac/Fusion Drive Thread.
    The other thing is... the Fusion drives offer no improvement over standard drives for audio, in fact performance may be less, plus there is an additional software layer installed to mange the Fusion Drive... and to top it off, the the regular spinning disk of the Fusion Drive is only 5400RPM.
    Here's the thread.

  • What slots should I put my graphics cards in?

    I have an early 2009 Nehalem Xeon Mac Pro and I use 3 NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 graphics cards.
    My question is, what is the best arrangement in the 4 slots for them? Right now they are ordered in slots 1, 2, and 3. But that means 2 and 3 are stacked right on top of each other. Is that a heat problem?
    Or would the 3rd one be better on the top most 4th slot? What seems like a problem with that is then the top one is flush with the hard drives, which could be another heat issue?
    So, I guess the options are: stack cards 2 and 3 together with more room for hard drives.
    Or, space them all evenly apart, but with the top most one blowing hot air into the hard drives.
    Thanks!

    Heat isn't because the cards really are low end performers, but the only reason to use 3 is to drive 5-6 monitors. No need to put each monitor on its own, and rarely a benefit from such an arrangement.
    I like to have air around the hard drives.
    Have you ever seen a PC with 2-3 highend double-wide cards in SLI?

  • What value should I put in dhcputil.exe -webserver

    Hi,
    I am trying to use the steps in this article to configure my DHCP options for Lync 2013 phones. But I am not sure what value would go for webserver switch of dhcputil.exe. 
    I have a standard edition front end server and Internal CA.
    Thanks,

    Put the internal web server FQDN of your Lync standard edition front end. You can also typically use the server name if it's standard edition.

  • To what folder should I download music in itunes

    When I download MP3s to my computer outside of itunes, what folder should I put them in? 

    If iTunes is running, or when you start it up, anything you place in Automatically Add to iTunes will be moved to where iTunes wants to place it, e.g. iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\<Artist>\<Album>\## <Name>.<Ext>. There will be nothing to consolidate and should be nothing left over to delete. Anything that iTunes can't cope with, e.g. artwork in the folders, will be place in a Not Added folder.

  • What information should be added to a workspace file in teststand 3

    I have recently upgraded from Teststand 2 to version 3. I am trying to distribute a runtime sequence and am having some difficulty with the new Teststand 3 deployment utility. Can anyone tell me exactly what i should be putting into the workspace file in order to create a working runtime sequence?
    Cheers,
    Dave

    The first thing to do is to create a new workspace, then right click on the workspace name, then select Add Project to Workspace. Right click on the new project name and select Add Files to Project. Here you can add your main sequence, all subsequences, your VIs, DLLs, any special files that you would want to distribute with your install package. I usually create an LLB file that contains all VIs that I have created. All sub-vi's that are called by my VIs (like GPIB functions, low level file functions, etc) are automatically included in the package. You can include special files like text files or ini files that your program will use. Add them all to the project. Save the workspace file. When you build the project using Deploy TestStand System, make sure you ch
    eck the box next to Deploy Files from TestStand Workspace File, and navigate to the workspace you just created.

  • I put my ipod touch in DFU mode, but when I plug it into my computer the restore your ipod alert does not come up in itunes. What can/should I do?

    I have been on the Apple Support page for several hours now and cannot find my exact circumstance and other suggestions have yet to help me. I purchased a locked ipod touch and when I plug it into my laptop itunes says "Itunes could not connect to ipod because it is locked with a passcode". The guy I bought it from told me the password but I failed to write it down and remember it and he has since moved so I can't find him. I have tried putting it in DFU mode and I can get it there, but then Itunes does not show the pop-up that everyone has said will come up with the alert about an ipod trying to restore itself so I cannot get it to do so. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    AM

    When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.
