Batteries
When I bought my laptop (my third HP), I tried to find information on the maintenance of the battery. My question was this: if I use the power adapter, can I leave it plugged or recharge the battery, let it drain, load, empty. I couldn't find any information in the paperwork. Help was no help. The point of sale people said little "matter." No where I hear or read about removing the battery. Of course, I ruined the battery and now released an additional $ 130. This should be in the paperwork that came with the computer. I don't know that I'm not the only one with this problem.
your "point of sale" was completely false. Leave the battery attached to the laptop all the time, especially if you mainly use it on food, is a very bad thing.
You should condition your battery by completing three complete cycles; fully charge the battery, unplug the charger, let the computer run on battery until it stops itelf, and then fully recharge the battery. You also need at least a full charge/discharge cycle every 4 to 6 weeks. If you do not want gbe using the battery for an extended period, power the computer until the battery has reached about 50%, shut down the computer and remove the battery. Do not store the battery fully charged. Be aware that all lithium-ion and battery lithium-polymer self-discharge at a rate of about 2% to 5% per week, and if left stored for timely long, the battery will go "flat" and must be refurbished as shown above.
Batteries must be kept at moderate temperatures. Heat and cold can make your battery unable to develop a load. Store the battery is so that nothing can touch the contacts and the short battery accidentally.
Your "point of sale" you has probably said the wrong thing either ignorance throught (many mistakenly believe that modern batteries don't require special care), or more probably because they want you to come back in a few months to buy a battery of expensive replacelment.
I have a HP laptop almost 4 year, and I'm still using the original battery. It always gives me reasonable run times, and I don't expect to have to replace it at least another year. I followed the directions above; If you follow this way, there is no reason that you should notget several years of useful life of your battery.

After turning on my wireless keyboard led green lights, then begins to blink, and then turns off. The batteries are fresh.
Possible explanation. It is likely that batteries, so fresh, can be irregular in size. The uncertain connection would therefore tend to lead to a failure to blink and you declare. Read my thing...

Hello. Have you ever tried the troubleshooting steps such as reset/restore?
Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.
- Press and hold the sleep/wake button
- Press and hold the Home button
- Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.
Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings
If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.
Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support

My touchpad is holing of batteries every week. I use my computer in less than 12 hours per week. This seems odd. Y at - it a sleep track pad option that I don't know?
http://www.lenashore.com/2012/06/trackpad-battery-life-getting-you-down/
There is no way to 'sleep' your trackpad. But you can simplify your use of battery. (Two to four weeks until the replacement/refill is in the ballpark.)
1. rely on rechargeable batteries - like those that accompany your trackpad.
2. invest in a charger AA-, they are relatively cheap and reliable.

Changing the batteries in the wireless Mac keyboard
I'm a new Mac user - I just replaced my wireless keyboard batteries, but it does not work. Support online says "the device 'on' ' but I can't see a button on (this seems to be a really dumb statement!) Can someone help please?
The button is the lid that screws into.
Don't feel bad. Instead of cover, i.e. market / stop.

you replace the batteries in trackpad apple 2
I can't find a way to open this thing... they are implying the rechargeable battery lasts forever in the TrackPad 2?
Look at the back of the trackpad to the crack of lightning connector. Use a cable of lightning between the trackpad and a USB charger or a port on the computer to recharge the batteries.

batteries in the keyboard low... but the keyboard is not wireless
I have an old Mac of 2009 so I've had it for quite a long time and he has been in constant use. Recently, every time I connect I get a "keyboard battery is low, recharge or replace soon. I have a wireless mouse and replace batteries regularly, but I do not have a wireless keyboard. I checked all connections and I checked the preferences system that tells me that my batteries are at 17% (the number has been going down).
I have no idea what to do this because it is not yet an area for the batteries in the keyboard. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can't believe I'm really depleting earlier batteries in a keyboard, I had for 7 years.
However, when I started checking it reported on 20%. I'm tempted to just order a new keyboard, but I would first ask if something escapes me thinking. Sorry I'm not very savvy computer.
Try unplugging the keyboard and by plugging it back in another USB port.

What to do when my wireless keyboard will not be running once I put in the new batteries?
I probably try different batteries in first and be sure that they are installed according to the polarity.
I'm not trying to be funny, but the power button was depressed, correct?

Apple replaces iPhone 5 c batteries free of charge to the United Kingdom?
My iPhone 5 c screen begins to appear at the top left and top right, I heard that this is caused by a bulging battery, so I was wondering if change the batteries Apple for an iPhone free 5 c to the United Kingdom? I do not have a warranty
If it's out of warranty which is very doubtful.
You can take and see what they say. Worse, they're going to say is not.
If you do not, because you ask something beyond your warranty, be as beautiful and enjoyable as possible. Make it easy for them to decide to do something (if they indeed decide to do something, they can just as well say no)
