Where does SMC get the power to reset?

Where does SMC get the power to reset?

The SMC is maintained when the battery is connected or the charger is. When removed the SMC's content is erased. However, if your computer has a PRAM battery, then the SMC may use that instead of the main battery. But not all notebooks have a PRAM battery but rely on the main battery only. All depends on the specific motherboard design. Typically, these lithium cells have a maximum life of around 5 years.
In any case you have not stated what you think the problem is with your SMC, so I cannot say whether your assumption about having a dead PRAM battery is correct. If you cannot maintain PRAM settings, then that would be more indicative or the battery being dead.

  • Where Does iPhoto Get The Date?

    I'm not sure I understand where iPhoto is getting the information for a photo's Date.
    Is it coming from the photo's metadata?
    If so, which field?
    I have scanned old photo and I want iPhoto to show the Data that they were originally taken, not when they were scanned. I've used both Aperture and Adobe Lightroom to change the created date, but iPhoto seems to be using the date the photo was scanned.

    I scanned the photo. I used Lightroom to modify the photo, including changing the capture time and date.
    When I view the photo's metadata in Adobe Bridge, it shows the correct/new date that I entered in Lightroom.
    But, when I import that photo into iPhoto, iPhoto shows the date as today. That seems odd. Today is not the date the photo was scanned. And it's not using the data I modified in the metadata.
    That is because
    iPhoto uses the date in the EXIF fields - if there is none then it uses the file date
    I know I can change the date inside iPhoto, but I was hoping to change the date in the photo's metadata, so that now matter who or how someone looks at the photo it will have the correct creation date.
    And this is how you do that
    You can change the date in iPhoto using the batch change command (photo menu ==> batch change ==> time/date)
    Then export the photo
    I don't know how iPhoto's data change feature works, but if it's like the name/title change feature, then I wouldn't want to use it.
    That is totally up to you - it is the only way to change the date using iPhoto
    my wife renamed a bunch of photos in her iPhoto. Then she emailed them to someone and found out that the file name didn't change. The title changed.
    That is correct - you can export the photos using the title as the file name (among other options)
    I'm not sure why iPhoto would change a title as opposed to the actual file name.
    Because iPhoto is a database based photo manager - not a file manager
    Or at least have the option to pick what you wanted.
    It does - the export command

  • Where can you get the power cord for a 2012 airport express?

    Where can you get a power cord for a 2012 airport express or the equivalent? I couldn't find one in the online store.

    I'm sure the OP found his solution, but I wanted to share mine in case it helps some future seeker.
    There are a lot of brand new cords on eBay for less than $10 including shipping, which is way cheaper than the $39 stereo connector kit or an AC adapter from a retailer.  I just bought a used-like-new one for $5.50.
    The cord is made by Volex, part number APC7Q.  The Apple part number is M9573LL/A.  If the seller got it from the stereo adapter kit, they'll probably list it under MD836LL/A, which is the kit's part number.  I got the best search results on eBay using just the Volex part number.
    Best of luck!

  • M60 -135: Where can I get the Power Saver utility?

    best regards
    Thomas

    Hello
    Well, I dont know why but on the Toshiba Europe site I cant also find the Power Saver for your unit.
    As far as I know your notebook was delivered with TOSHIBA Power Saver V1.32.0.3C.
    But on the USA Toshiba page I found this tool for other machine (Satellite M60-S811ST)

    Im not 100% sure but you can try to install this version. Maybe it works.
    Bye

  • Where can I get the power plug for my new mac graphics card?

    I bought a new graphics card and am just now installing it, but I need the mini PCI-e power cord to PCI-e cord to power the card? Where can I get that cord?

    If you buy the 5770 from Apple as an upgrade kit it has the cable(s) - two for the 5870, one for 5770.
    If you bought a mac pro mid-2010 it may very well have come with cable(s), that I have never read or heard from others.
    OWC has not always inicluded cables but has charged extra, as they did with eVGA GTX285 where Apple sold with cables, and buying from OWC added another $30? or more to the cost with cables "extra" is what I recall.

  • Where does ATV2 get the photos?

    So I have an ATV2 which seems to work well. I can't find any documentation as to where it gets the photos that are displayed while the screen is idle, say while playing music. This is probably a stupid question but I can't figure it out. I'd appreciate any help or pointers.
    Thanks in advance.

    Settings > screensaver.
    You can choose the photos used in the screensaver. To add photos of your own you need to add photos to the Apple TV from iTunes > advanced.

  • Power Search - how does it work and where does it get the data from?

    Hiya,
    Power search in NWBC is great, when it works.
    Recently I've been gettign increasingly erratic results - sometimes desktop items are found, sometimes they're not.
    Sometime my emails are searched, sometimes they're not...
    And so I'm wondering where I can find information on how it works, how it's configured etc.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Sorry to rain on your parade, but its not going to be quite that simple.
    Populating a second dropdown depending on the first one, has been discussed quite in depth on this forum, I suggest you do a search to look at older posts.
    Javascript code cannot call java/database code from an onclick event.
    The best it can do is trigger a form submission, which reloads the page
    running any java/sql code that displaying the page entails.
    So onlick event on the first dropdown triggers a form submit, which loads the page with the correct values in the second dropdown.
    con: requires a page request
    The other approach is to download ALL possible values to the jsp page, and have javascript handle the swapping of values.
    pro: no page refresh needed
    con: must have all data available on the page. javascript is a bit more complicated.
    Hope this helps,

  • Where does iBooks get the title and author?

    Sorry, this isn't really to do with Pages 09, but I see no more appropriate place for my questiion.
    I'm writing an application for personal use (and I'm only writing it for fun, really), which converts text files to ePub format, separating chapters, adding cover art, and so on. It works, except that when I put the generated ePubs into the Books folder of iTunes, the title and author do not show correctly, being replaced by the strings "#title# and "#author#" respectively. The title and author are shown in other parts of the books, such as the body of the Title Page, however, when read in iBooks, though are again incorrect in the page headers.
    Do you know where iTunes and iBooks looks in the ePub system (for want of a better word) to find these two items?
    Both title and author appear correctly, where appropriate, in:
    toc.ncx: <docTitle> <text>Here is the title</text> </docTitle>
    title.html: Here is the title
    Name of author
    content.opf: <dc:title>Here is the title</dc:title>
    <dc:creator opf:role="aut">Name of author</dc:creator>
    But I must have missed something!

  • Where does one get the latest CS4 Patch?

    I installed CS4 but don't know where the latest patches are? Where can one go to find out about those and download them?

    Thank you.
    I have the EX1. I just found out CS3 has a patch which makes it X.D CAM EX compatible. Given the fact Cineform will not yet work with CS4, I still wonder whether it isn't too soon to jump into CS4. CS3 has the advantage of being tested, it was designed for XP (which is what I'm using) and it is compatible with Cineform right now. On the other hand CS4 is the future. Which way would you go?
