When is the best time to change contract?

Hi, I have a normal "feature phone" and I got a Droid from one of my friends. I don't have any sort of data plan right now, and the Droid requires a data plan, so my question is at what point in the usage cycle is it best to change my contract? Is there a best time?
Thanks in advance!

Since the only data plan option is $30 unlimited, it doesn't matter when you activate the droid. You'll be charged approx $1/day for the remainder of your current bill cycle (this is the proration referred to above) and $29.99 for the next billing cycle, on your next bill. Unlimited is unlimited, so you cannot get overage charges regardless of when the feature is activated.

When is the best time to charge an iPod for optimal battery?

What do you think?
I hear if you let it go all the way down and then recharge it meaning full discharge then recharge, it's bad for the battery overall.
Also I hear it's bad to charge it constantly as it would make the battery weaker as well?
So when is the best time to charge it so that the battery stays at optimal performance for a good amount of time? Like 50%, 60% battery?
Let me hear your opinions.

It really doesn't matter that much when you charge a lithium ion battery. The only significant caveat is, as you've mentioned, don't drain them completely. Other than that, charge it when you need to. I generally put my on charge at night and take it off in the morning. I do the same thing with my cell phones which have the same type of battery. The iPod will stop charging when the battery is full.
Best of luck.

When is the best time to buy a refurbished MacBook Pro?

I'm a new college student, and I'm looking to buy a Mac that will last me throughout college, at the best possible price.
I'm completely fine with purchasing a refurbished model, and right now I can get a large (for Apple, anyway) discount on a refurbished MacBook Pro, 13", 500GB, i5, with 4GB RAM. But I'm not sure if this will be able to suit my needs, or if I should opt for something a bit more expensive, even if that means I should wait.
I plan on installing Windows 7, with a 25% partition (I'll use Mac for my own personal things, but Windows for some functions).
I own an iPhone 5 and iPad 3 (WiFi), so I don't plan on taking it with me every day.
I live in Arizona, so the summer heat can be an issue.
I plan on using this MacBook Pro for at least 5 years.
So, I'd like to know:
Should I buy the AppleCare now, later, or not at all? I want to make sure it's covered in the event of damage or defects:
Should I wait to buy a refurbished model until after the new MacBook Pros are released later this year?
Should I opt for an i7 processor, since I plan on dual-booting with Windows 7? Does it make a noticeable difference, compared to the i5?
Will 500GB be enough space? I feel like it should be more than enough.
Should I wait until the new MacBook Prod are released, or should I take advantage of the college sale that's being offered?
Thank you for taking the time to help me out. :)

That's a perfect computer for your uses, and you won't have any problem. Also, if you need, you can add more RAM (looking at your specs, 16 GB of memory) and a hard drive (HDD or SSD, or even replace the optical drive to put a second HDD). I think it will be useful for 5 years or more.

It's important to buy AppleCare with a portable Mac. Near everything is soldered and repairs are expensive, so it's better to get it. You can get it at any moment during the first year of warranty, but note that accidental damages will void your warranty.

There's no need to wait for new MacBooks Pro, more when we don't know when they will be released. I don't think the refurbished MacBook Pro you want will be cheaper then.

There's a difference between an Intel Core i5 and a i7, but you will only note it if you have special needs, like using heavy apps that require a high CPU load. Most users are not going to use this type of applications. Also, if you need to use this type of apps, the 15-inch MacBook Pro is better.
ChungLing wrote:

For most users, 500 GB are enough and you will have hundreds of free GBs. If you don't have enough space, get an external drive. It's recommended to get one at least to make backups of your files.

The college sale will expire soon (the Back to School program), so buy it now

When are the best times to charge my iPod touch 5G?

I want to know what times to charge my iPod touch 5G would be best for the battery.

There are no best times. Charge it whenever you like.
Charge it from 90% to 100%, charge it from 20% to 30%, charge it for 5 minutes, charge it for 2 days, doesn't matter.

When is the best time to buy a macbook pro with retina display?

Since that already happened this year you will need to wait until some time next year at the earliest, although there have been rumors of near end of this year.

When is the best time to buy my MacBook Pro

Hi, I'm planning on buying a MacBook Pro. I'm either buying it now or in March. Should I wait until March because their will be a newer model out? Or should I buy it now?

I have found the buyer's guide at MacRumors (http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/) to be very helpful. It provides analysis of when to buy each Apple item. Here are its recommendations for MacBook Pro:
Product: MacBook Pro
Recommendation: Neutral - Mid product cycle
Last Release: June 08, 2009
Days Since Update: 99 (Avg = 200)
My own opinion: Buy now. I just ordered a MacBook Pro 2 days ago based on my own research and conclusions. The June updates were quite impressive, and it could be another 3+ months before another update. I also came across a helpful rule of thumb for Apple products in general: Don't buy right before June or January- that's when they tend to announce new products/versions.

What is the best time to set for my iMac intel to get to sleep?

what is the best time to set for my iMac intel to get to sleep? the default is 10 minutes, i am changing it to 1 houirs but i put the sleep time for my monitod 10 minutes. is it decent?

Not so sure of that "just plain logic." Allowing sleep too often will cause wear on the drive -- excessive spin up and spin down. Temperature permitting, a drive will last longer if just left running.
For other hardware, a lot will have to do with the internal temps. When it's quite hot here, I allow the computer to sleep more often. But otherwise, it's a bit of this and a bit of that. I wouldn't personally recommend running 24/7, although I know of several here who claim they do, with no apparent adverse effects over many years.

No response from o2- what's the best time of day to try getting through?

I want to end my contract and get a PAC code, but it seems to be impossible to get through to o2. I spent half an hour on the online chat before being told the support team couldn't be contacted and I should phone. Then two twenty-three minute phone calls- the second got through at last but then cut out before I could get the code. Now the phone warns of 30-minute queuing, and back on the chat line the only message is "We're really busy right now. Thanks for waiting." Then it gave me after 25 minutes "Chat not initialized." So I wonder if anyone has any views on when it's best to try to get through? Or are they just very very unhappy to deal with anyone wanting to leave? Thanks.

When was the last time a program was run?

Experts, is there a way to know when was the last time a program was run (particularly, Z Program). We are trying to identify obsolete programs and avoid working on those programs that weren't touched for more than 3 years during our next upgrade. How can I find this? Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi,
One way is to check TRDIR table(se11/se16) and display it. In the next screen once you will get 'Data Browser Table TRDIR' selection screen. There either you put the individual 'Z' program name in the 'Name' field & execute it or for all multiple entries execute it.
Once you execute it with the particular Z prog. name then you will get the required details like CDAT(Created on),UNAM(Last changed by),UDAT(Changed On),SDATE(Standard selection screen generation: Date),IDATE(Selection screen generation: Date) etc.
Hope this can help you.

Sounds like a "hang at exit" problem. There are several possible causes for that error. See:
* How to stop the running Firefox process
** In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?
** See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application
* What may cause Firefox to hang at exit

** https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+is+already+running+but+is+not+responding
* You may need to try Firefox Safe Mode
** You may need to use '''Safe Mode''' to locate the problem: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
**Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
** If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

What is the best practice for changing view states?

I have a component with two Pie Charts that display
percentages at two specific dates (think start and end values).
But, I have three views: Start Value only, End Value only, or show
Both. I am using a ToggleButtonBar to control the display. What is
the best practice for changing this kind of view state? Right now
(since this code was inherited), the view states are changed in an
ActionScript function which sets the visible and includeInLayout
properties on each Pie Chart based on the selectedIndex of the
ToggleButtonBar, but, this just doesn't seem like the best way to
do this - not very dynamic. I'd like to be able to change the state
based on the name of the selectedItem, in case the order of the
ToggleButtons changes, and since I am storing the name of the
selectedItem for future reference.
Would using States be better? If so, what would be the best
way to implement this?
Thanks.

I would stick with non-states, as I have always heard that
states are more for smaller components that need to change under
certain conditions, like a login screen that changes if the user
needs to register.
That said, if the UI of what you are dealing with is not
overly complex, and if it will not become overly complex, maybe
states is the way to go.
Looking at your code, I don't think you'll save much in terms
of lines of code.
