When you get a new laptop, do you need to let it fully run out of charge before charging it up again?

When you get a new laptop, do you need to let it fully run out of charge before charging it up again?

No, I use as much as I can connected to AC with a monthly discharge to about the 40% charge level.  If in portable mode with no AC available, I will let the MBP operate until the low charge warning appears. then I will terminate the session.  Total battery discharge should be avoided.

  • If I get a new laptop will I need to update CC subscription?

    Hi,
    I just recently got Adobe Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 and they're wonderful and now I don't always have to use the programs at school.
    But my laptop is getting old and starting to slow down and it runs okay but I know eventually it wont be able to handle Adobe CC.
    If I buy a new computer will I be able to download Adobe CC without any issues or will I have to update my subscription? If I only have to uninstall the adobe programs on the old laptop and then just reinstall onto the new one then thats no issue. I just don't know if I'll need to update any info or not, if I get a new laptop/computer and download the Adobe CC programs onto the new one.

    There's nothing to update.
    On the old laptop, open any CC app, click Help > Sign Out and the entire suite will be deactivated. That frees up an activation for you to use elsewhere.
    On the new computer, install CC as usual and they'll activate automatically as part of the install.

    I had an HP laptop with Itunes on it and kept my library on an external hard drive. I had a 160gb classic Ipod.
    My computer died and i am buying a new one (mac is out of budget)
    When I get my new computer, obviously I will download Itunes. My Ipod still has all the music on it and the external hard drive is ok.
    I don't want to "erase" or lose any information when I sync with a new itunes that is "empty"
    What are the steps? After I download Itunes and set the folder location to my external harddrive what is next? Will Itunes recognize my IPOD? Will it load the music/list from my ipd or external into itunes?
    Thanks in advance

    That will take ages, buy an external drive (or a large enough flash drive) and copy it there, do it soon.

  • Upgrading Photoshop and getting onto new laptop

    I have Photoshop CS4 Student Edition on my current laptop and it came with 2 copies (you could put it on 2 computers), but I've had to put both my copies on the laptop because I upgrade my OS at one point from Vista to Windows 7 and the first copy got deleted and I had to reinstall everything.  I'm planning on getting a new laptop soon because my current one has never really been able to handle Photoshop, but I want to have Photoshop on the new one.  If I upgrade to CS6 on my current laptop would I get 2 new copies like when I originally got the program (so I can put the 2nd copy of CS6 on to a new laptop)?
    I only ask this cause I don't have $700 to spend on a whole new Photoshop program and I couldn't find anything about how many copies (1 or 2) you get with an upgrade on the FAQ sections.
    Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

  • My iphone was hit by a car, however the back is totally intact as well as the sim card. Is there a way for me to back up my phone to my computer/icloud, so when I get my new iPhone, I can sync all of my old data to it?

    Need help with my broken iPhone4s. It was hit by a car, and I need to know how to back up my data to my computer/iCloud so when I get my new iPhone I can sync it to there and still have all my old data, such as contacts, photos, apps, etc.

    If you had iCloud backup turned on, and it made a backup - yes.  If you didn't have iCloud backup turned on - but were using iCloud for Contacts, calendars, etc.  You will get the contacts and calendars, etc back.
    Purchases made with your appleID can be redownloaded as long as they are still available in the iTunes store.
    If you connected your phone to a computer with iTunes, there may be a backup on there as well.

    I have downloded ITunes to a new laptop and signed in this let's me download previous purchases in to the librery but can't get the films I have bought quite a lot over time any idea how I can get them ???

    You cannot.
    You buy one and only one download of movies.  it is your responsibility to backup your purchases.
    Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • Upgrade cpu or get a new laptop?

    I currently have a compaq presario cq56 notebook pc that only has the intel celeron processing unit (Sadly my mom didn't know anything about cpu or memory and just picked a random laptop for me). I am constantly running into conflicts because the cpu is too slow to suit my needs, I'm a college student that is constantly working on ten things at once!
    I am very satisfied with the laptop other than the cpu problem so I've run into the dilemma of not knowing whether or not to try and upgrade my processor or simply get a new laptop all together.
    Buying a new processor is cheaper than a new laptop (the cheaper the better since college forces me live on way too tight of a budget) but I don't even know how to find out what processors are compatible with this laptop specifically. I think the intel core i5 would be strong enough to suit my needs but will that processor be compatible with the compaq presario cq56?
    So basically, would it be worth it to just upgrade my CPU or will that not change much and should I just take the leap and get a completely new laptop?
    current processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU    900 @ 2.20GHz   2.19GHz
    current installed memory:     2.00 GB
    current system type:     64-bit operating system

    Hi,
    This is a list of processors supported from day 1:
    Intel® Celeron® 900 processor (2.2 GHz)
    Intel® Pentium® T4500 processor (2.3 GHz)
    Intel Celeron T3500 processor (2.1 GHz)
    Intel Celeron T3300 processor (2.0 GHz)
    Looks like you can't upgrade to anywhere only some T or may be P CPU's.
    Regards.

  • HT201317 Why is it when I get a new idevice and try to upload photos from iCloud onto my device there are always a large portion of photos missing?

    Why is it when I get a new idevice and try to upload photos from iCloud onto my device there are always a large portion of photos missing?

    Adding to fromsouth...  if you are restoring from a backup, then only photos in the camera roll are made available, not others.
    If you are using photo stream, then only photos that have been on the stream server in the past 30 days (and a max of 1000 of them) are downloaded.  All others have been deleted, since photo stream is not a storage service, but a syncing service that allows you to sync photos over a 30 day window.

  • I am due to upgrade my iPhone 3 to iPhone 5. I have icloud which co-ordinates my phone and mac what happens when I get a new phone - I dont want to lose all my contacts, notes, addresses etc. Do I have to disconnect icloud and how? What happens?

    I am due to upgrade my iphone 3 to iphone 5.  I have icloud which is co-ordinating my iphone 3 and Mac Pro updating each other.  What happens when I get a new phone - I dont want to lose all my addresses, notes etc.  What is the procedure and step by step action?  The new phone arrives - then what?

    When I upgraded from the iPhone 3GS to iPhone 5, I simply did a Backup of my phone using iTunes, plugged in the new iPhone 5 into my Mac, and did a Restore of that backup to put everything back. This procedure is documented around the web. Also, the new phone will ask you for your Apple ID and when you enter it, all your iCloud info will be downloaded to the phone. It worked pretty well for me.
