Plugged in vs. not connected

Is this ok to use my macbook air connected when I'm at home, watch movies or while doing other things requiring more battery and then plug it out during the night and let him sleep on battery? The fact on and cycle to plug and unplug the battery in any way to damage, damage in the sense of loss of capacity and waring faster than usual?

It is ok.

Keep the computer plugged in at the time of an intense processor love playing games, watching movies of long duration,

installation of software, etc.

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.

    Printer not responding not connections (wireless printer) is good and solid. I replaced my old router wirelessly with a router of valuation.  I had to plug it, but the printer does not respond now.

    Is what brand and model of printer?

    I do not work unless your new router has the same SSID and password wireless as the old. Consult your printer documentation to find out how to handle the situation. For example, some Lexmark wireless printers have a program called Configuration Utility Wireless in the Lexmark folder under all programs on the start menu that is used to set up the printer when changes are made to the wireless network.

  • Since activation apple CarPlay, my iPhone does not connect to my Bluetooth infotainment system

    I have recently taken delivery of a VW Tiguan MkII 2016 and could easily match my 6 s iPhone with it. Now, however, I created CarPlay Apple and VW car-net connect my iPhone via USB. Now my iPhone is no longer connect via bluetooth when not plugged into the USB port. It seems that I can now use only my phone by CarPlay which I do not plan to use whenever I drive the car. Is there a solution to this?

    Hi biker.

    I understand that as you have activated the Carplay, your iPhone will not connect to your car stereo via bluetooth. You can try to disable the Carplay on the device, and then test the bluetooth connection. Because you are trying to connect via clips and wireless at the same time, this can cause some problems. Using one or the other should solve this problem.

    Please use the Apple Support communities to post your question. Good day.

  • IOS 10.0.2 WiFi not connecting

    Hello

    This morning, I had a problem with my IPad 4 (MK6J2B/A) and my Iphone 6s (MKQN2B/A).

    Both devices unloaded during the night and the charge in the morning, both devices would not connect to my WiFi (BT Home Hub 6) even though they have both been previously connected to my WiFi for weeks. Both have a checkmark beside the connection, but not the WiFi icon in the upper left corner. Safari says not connected to the internet. I tried several thing, like plane, reset BT Hub etc., but both have refused to sign. I did a reset on both devices and the Iphone came back and logged in as normal. However, the Ipad has refused to connect or at least with the WiFi icon.

    Surfing on the net and found a large number of people with the same problems. Followed suggestions, as I forgot network password and enter again, reset network etc, but nothing has worked. The only option to reset the whole device and start again. BUT when I tried to remove and delete, of course has been asked to enter my Apple ID to continue. No internet so would not remove.

    I have a hotspot Wifi BT close to home then I connected with that and she. This should make me stop and think that it was something inside the House, but once again, SO I continued and deleted the IPad. From the start of my cool Ipad, follow the instructions until it is necessary to connect to the internet. Had even a tick but no icon of Wifi and no internet, so no way to rebuild or restore my Ipad. SCREAMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

    Out the laptop to rebuild through iTunes, which was obsolete, then click on update and google in the meantime, no problems with the iPad, but with iPad connection to BT Home hub 6. Found a very small post with similar problems and he said to disconnect the hub (WIRED) AppleTV. As soon as I pulled the plug on the AppleTV my iPad connected instantly.

    Wow what a waste of two hours of my life. Don't know if it's hub problem AppleTV or BT, or both, but my AppleTV is now to stay on the WiFi connection and NO cable connection in the future.

    Hope that my pain will help someone else to solve the same problems.

    So thank you for much for this!

    I had this thing this morning, 1 iPad a household of 6 different devices does not connect.  My Apple TV has been connected via WIFI, I just turned off of Apple TV - box and connected iPad itself.

    This happened only a day after the installation of a HomeHu6...

  • iPad will not connect to internet

    Hello

    Recently I replaced my router wireless with an old faithful that d-Link DSL - 502T cable modem as I have now 2 extreme airport to handle a Wi - Fi. I have now a much faster internet access on my Macbook Pro, but my iPad 2 now will not connect to internet.

    Airport utility on the iPad shows that the internet is disconnected, but I don't know how to solve this problem.

    The two airports are configured in Bridge mode. Help someone?

    If you have LAN - 502T running as the main router.

    Bridge the airport should simply pass the DHCP via the Dlink but sometimes it's a failure.

    The two AE connected directly to the modem or the other?

    I would recommend the static method of intellectual property.

    https://discussions.Apple.com/message/25135547?ac_cid=tw123456#

    In this method, you must first AE plugged directly to the Dlink and the second AE connected in the first and bridge... it will dhcp to EI and is often a better configuration with Apple gear. Worth a try.

  • This cable or accessory is not certified popup while not connected iOS 9.3.4

    I've updated to 9.3.4 iOS on my iPhone 6 more this morning. Now, this afternoon, I get a popup every few minutes saying "this cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone." I'm not connected to a cable or accessory. Support Apple advises to do a hard reset, which I did. After a few minutes I received once again the context menu. Not plugged into anything.

    Never received that message before today. The only thing I know that has changed is the software update 9.3.4 (G 13, 35).

    Similar experiences please mark as I have this issue too. I saw another post here, a user with an iPhone 5 with this exactly the same problem.

    Kind regards

    Charles Cavanaugh

    Hi ccphd,

    I understand that you get an error that the accessory is not certified, despite not having anything that is connected to your iPhone. I know it's important to have your device works reliably, so I am pleased to provide you with tips to help with this.

    Learn the steps of troubleshooting we have for this message here:

    If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won't charge - Apple Support

    If an alert says that your accessory is not taken care of or certified

    These alerts can appear for several reasons: your iOS device could have a port of loading dirty or damaged, your loading accessory is defective, damaged or not certified by Apple or your USB charger is not designed to load devices.

    1. Remove all debris from the charge on the bottom of your appliance socket.
    2. Restart your iOS device.
    3. Try another USB cable or charger.
    4. Make sure you have the latest version of iOS.
    5. Contact Apple to set up the servicesupport.

    Hello

    I recently bought a Mac Pro and I am trying to transfer files from my hard drive mini 1 TB of G technology itself. The files came from a backup who was recently transferred to my 2011 macbook pro. I tried using cord USB 3.0 for the Mac Pro doesn't have a firewire plugs, but it does not recognize my hard drive. The hard drive is not showing any signs of work because I don't hear the fans turn on the player. The hard drive connects perfectly to my macbook pro via firewire, so should I buy a bolt of lightning for this firewire adapter? I really hope that I don't need to buy a new external, but I'd love to hear a few options for this issue, it would be greatly appreciated.

    I get a weird message from windows 'the last device you connected is not recognized by windows. I don't know how to solve this problem. Help, please

    Hello Kostas2

    Usually, the best way to resolve this type of problem is to uninstall the printer and then reinstalling it again.

    Download the full recommended software here...

    DJ2130_61.exe (115.8 MB)

    Turn off the printer, then unplug the USB from the computer.

    Right-click on Start, choose Control Panel> programs> uninstall a program.

    Uninstall everything about the HP printer , including the printer, HP image zone, Director of HP's image, or what is installed on your system.

    Also uninstall all other printers (if any) that you do not use.

    Restart the computer and the printer (do not connect the USB cable again).

    Right-click on Start and choose Control Panel> hardware and sound> devices and printers and make sure that the printer is no more. If that is the case, then right-click on it and choose Remove the instrument.

    Install the downloaded software and drivers from above. Follow the instructions that it will ask you to plug the USB cable into the computer.

    Let me know how it goes.

  • Ink advantage 2545: changed the name of the wireless router and now ink advantage 2545 does not connect and I'm out of ideas

    I have a Toshiba laptop 64 bit running Windows 10 Home, 8 GB, 1 t hard drive.

    Router is a Samsung phone using Android because it was the only router that I could find which would take the wireless signal.

    I live very pastoral, no neighbours for miles, so I never saw the need for a password on my router.

    Now, some people are installs in less than 400 feet from me, and I think they're piggybacking on my Wifi because my access speed has slowed considerably since they moved in.

    So I decided to change the password of the router, unfortunately, I can not put in any password I want.  It gives me the opportunity to have a predefined password.  So I changed the name of the router I could do without problem.

    My computer very quickly without any problem, however, my printer which worked great for a year with the old router name does not connect on the new name of the router.

    Here is what I tried:

    I had hoped he would ask me for a new name / password, but it did not.

    Then I plugged a cable between the printer and the laptop in the hopes that it would produce a different kind of results.  It has not changed anything.  There is no screen menu on what that be like this on the printer.

    I pressed the wireless button that has the flashing blue light and nothing happened.

    I pressed the button, don't know what it is, but it has a white light, and nothing happened.

    I went on the HP site and followed the instructions but he just said do not connect the cable until told to do so.  So I disconnected everything, lights out and turned back on and still no connection and no invite to plug whatever it is.

    Y at - it everywhere where I have being a novice could get instructions on how to get this working?

    I appreciate any help you can give me.  Thank you.

  • My HP Pavilion laptop g6 will not connect to any wireless internet access

    I have dealt with this for a while now, and it just happened to no part I turned on my computer one morning and it would not connect to my wifi. I've tried EVERYTHING. My computer allows me to plug in an ethernet cable and the router and use the internet like that. I know it's not the router because I use the internet on my iPhone and tablet. When I try to connect to the internet, it has a red X where the wireless icon used to be, now the icon looks like a computer instead monitor the small bars. When I type my button wireless on my keyboard, a message appears and warns me that I just got my wireless turned off, but no matter if it is off or on this little button always has the light on orange. I can't understand what is happening and I would appreciate if you could help me!

  • iPhone says it cannot update OS because I'm not connected to the internet

    iPhone says it cannot update OS because I'm "not connected to the internet", but I'm still able to search, go to web pages etc.

    At first, I tried with just plugged phone into a charger, but then tried to connect to my iMac via iTunes. He picked up the phone, said I had to update the operating system, made me enter and access code... still the same message "not connected to the internet. HA!

    I tried to update to IOS 9.2.1 9.3, but after the update is verified, he said I am not connected to the Internet, but I can get on safari without problem. I have tried rebooting and turning my victory-fi off and turn it back on. I even tried plugging my iPhone hotspot. It happens if my iPad is connected to the power supply or not. Then it gives me the choice to start over, or remind me later. I've never had a problem before update. any ideas?

    Because Apple pulled the iOS versions 9.3 to less recent devices. Wait for a patch.
