I use my MacBook Air as a desktop computer. Should I leave the charger plugged all the time or should I drain the battery and then recharge? What is the best for the battery?
Keep the computer plugged in whenever possible.
If you keep the computer always connected, make sure that at least twice a month
Run it on battery until battery charge level falls to about 40-50%.
Please don't completely discharge the battery. Discharge the battery completely will reduce wear and tear on the battery.

Citing at the bottom of the linked article.
"The question is often asked:" should I disconnect my laptop from the mains when not in service? Under normal circumstances it should not be necessary because as soon as the lithium-ion battery is full, a properly functioning charger will stop the load and load the pad will only engage when the battery voltage drops to a low level. Most of the users do not remove AC power, and this practice is safe. »

Help! It started to happen last week and I don't know what to do. Whenever I start my desktop computer, he goes to the back and informed me that my CMOS settings are false. How should I address this!
original title: CMOS setting
It mahy be as simple as needing a new CMOS battery. If you are not under warranty and have a counter top it is usually fairly easy to replace (google your computer for more information).
If that doesn't fix it, you may need to reset by removing the battery, unplug the power, remove the dough (if any) and now the power button is for one minute.

My desktop computer should be resized. It is too large to fit on the desktop.
Original title: resizing Desktop
My desktop computer should be resized. It is too large to fit on the desktop.
I assume you mean the image displayed on your screen...
Right-click anywhere on the desktop where there is no icon. Choose the resolution of the screen. Change the resolution to one that works for you.
In the selections you can make, you are limited by the capacity of your video output capacity.

I have a new Mac Pro and iMac, I want to install CS5 on them. I can do this, and if not what is my best option. I mainly use Photoshop later. Thank you!
Personally, I would install just without turning off. Worst thing that will l be happen you will need to disable a. Does not mean that you must uninstall just disable and when you need it, just disable one of the other and activate the current. But I assume CS5 because he is not yet supported most probably don't even follow the activations. I'm guessing the last part but when trying to install and activate without disabling one will not harm what anyone,.

I have an Acer computer I want to do a total restore. It came with windows 7 starter edition, and then I bought Microsoft word for it. If Microsoft word will lose if I do the restoration?
If you purchased Word on CD, it's no big deal; just reinstall it after the factory restore. If it was bought online, copy the file downloaded to a CD and then reinstall it later.
Is there a particular reason, why you want to do a restore complete? Have you problems? If so, you can try asking here on how to fix them and do not have to do a restore, reinstall all your programs and all of the updates and service pack 1.

Is it possible to cast from an Apple MacBook air to a desktop apple no?
Hey guys,.
So I recently bought an Apple MacBook air for my final year of University. We have weekly presentations and I was wondering if it is possible to presentations of casting, or still the MacBook (mirror to detect) screen on your windows desktop, as it is the operating system they have in the classes. I know that it is possible using a smart TV, but everything we have in the classes are the windows on desktop computer connected to a projector.
Thank you very much!
Keynote can export a presentation in PowerPoint format for use on a Windows PC. I've used this for years when I was still in my presentations.
If you move the cable from the projector from the PC to your Mac which should allow you to make the presentation directly from Keynote on your Mac.

MacBook Air will not recognize Micro SD disk in the format exFAT
Hello
I have a new camera of Campark Xtreme (like a Go Pro) who uses a Micro SD disk in ex FAT format. My 3 year old MacBook Air does not recognize the disc in this format. But to reformat, I need to erase all the content on the disc. When I put the disc in the camera, the camera will not work unless I have reformat the drive for exFAT.
My computer is 10.10.5. So my husband. We have the same problem on two laptops.
Anyone have any ideas?
The Mac can read and write to exFat without problem. The problem is probably that the card is too recent for the readers into your computers.
Fortunately, a new stand-alone USB drive which takes care of these maps is cheap.

Scrapie to screen in my MacBook Air end of 2014 after its withdrawal from full charge
I'm so attached to my MacBook Air! Even if someone gives me a version of more high end MacBook Pro in Exchange for him I wouldn't accept it!
Today, what happened was that I had my responsible MacBook about 4 to 5 hours, connected to the megsafe 2
After I took it off charge I turned on and it is ultra slow! He was eventually slow! Later I got so tense and restarted!
Once he turned back to the screen works glitter too and he said some safeboot in red color at the top bar for 2 seconds on the login screen
I almost started crying because it was heavy flickering of the screen and I really didn't want anyone to unscrew my MacBook Air baby! :/
Later, I turned it off and felt sad for a while and after 20 minutes I tried to turn it on and it worked absolutely fine!
Now I am typing this message from my MacBook Air
So, I just wanted to know if this issue would persist or come back again later at any time?
A lot of laptops could come could go, but this one is my love! So I don't want to lose! Pls tell me if it is a serious problem or that would not come again!
Thanks in advance
It is normal that the screen is flashing in safe mode, which is what happens when the SHIFT key is pressed during startup. Just restart as usual, does not hold all keys.

My Acer desktop computer does not boot, the operating system is Vista Home Edition
It says Startup Repair is checking your system for problems. If problems are found Startup Repair will be correct automatically. Then he will say: the Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically. Send information about this problem
And then he said access to retrieve options log in as an administrator. I forgot the password of administrator or local user
Hello
Microsoft prohibits any aid granted for passwords forgotten here.
If you have forgotten your password, how can I connect normally to use your desktop computer?
Are you sure that this request for password is not not to do with the Acer recovery process?
You can read this information:
"Some Acer models have a default password that you use to start the process of recovery from the recovery Partition 'hidden'.
Usually press you Alt + F10 at startup to start the process of relocation and Acer default password should be 6 zeros, unless someone has changed.
If not, give Acer a phone call. »
See you soon.
