What percentage should you start/stop plug your macbook pro?

I'm about to get a MBPr (early 2015 version) and I really want to have a long service life. I'll use it for about 5 years, until the College, which is quite long and probably a lot of users have it broken at that time here.

  • is there a certain percentage where I should start and stop it plug to a battery in good health? (e.g. use it until you go down to 40% then load 100% completely and repeat)
  • or is it also ok for him have charged 24/7 (as in almost never off the record) to maintain cycles down? I saw so many people say yes, but many also say it will ruin the battery.
    -a similar question, if I load 100%, I have to unplug it already or can I keep connected? and if I don't respect plugged, when the best time to unplug?

I actually read a lot (as in a batch.) items already on the time to load, but then it's so many conflicting and contradictory responses and I don't know what it takes to follow (I'm also sure that some answers here will be contradictory between them as well, but I guess it's just inevitable). I'm sure from what I've read, just that lithium-ion batteries hate deep discharge, so I won't. Other than that, I'm still pretty confused on what's left to follow.

Sorry if I seem like I'm overthinking it too, but nothing comes cheap nowadays and I really want this to last. any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

He man,.

-There is no percentage which is thought to be the percentage of start to use the charger. But often the people on this forum say they charge their macbook when they want, making sure to unload the macbook less than 20% just about once a month.

-You can leave it loaded 24/7 If you want to. but I would recommend for battery less than 20% once a month or more. You can leave it connected after that the battery is fully charged.

also accept that your battery will lose deep performance over time and as long as you don't release it your battery will be great for years to come and enjoy.

Cheers!

  • What is the path hidden pictures on a macbook pro?

    What is the path hidden pictures on a macbook pro?  I want to look at the structure of files and compare the list of photos to remove duplicates.

    / Users/Myusername/images/Photos\ Library\ 2. photoslibrary?

    ~/Library/?

    Thanks for any help.

    If you try to delete the duplicates by deleting files directly in the package of the photo library you will damage the photo library.

    Photography shops photos within a structure of database and the objects are distributed everywhere. There is no way tor record delete a single picture using the Finder.

    The photo library is a set, a folder with subfolders and data bases. For a single photo that you import pictures will store the original image file in a subfolder 'Masters' (~/Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary/Masters/) or in iCloud, according to your settings.  It will create an additional stamp file, files with faces found thumbnails and previews in the folder found, to share with other applications in the media browser.  Always use Photos interface to remove the photos or the library will become inconsistent.

    You can look inside the set of files grouped by ctrl-clicking on the library and using the command 'Show Package Contents': but make sure you do not move the files.

    To remove duplicates consider using a double Finder program:

    These applications are compatible with Photos and safe to use:

    If you have duplicates of a different pixel size in your library as well, then consider Photo Sweeper. We can compare the histograms or bitmaps from photos, so you can detect duplicates as well edited.  In addition, you can set up rules assigned to photos to keep and which to dispose, for example to give preference to more recent photos, photos with the largest size of pixel or photos with metadata.

    PowerPhotos is a great tool to have, when you work in Photos for navigation of several libraries of Photos at once and to see the photos annotated with metadata. It can move photos between libraries and help you merge libraries. But the duplicate detection is not as versatile as in Photo Sweeper. It can detect mainly exact replica.

    I don't know much Duplicate Annihilator, so I can't say how it will compare to the other two.

  • Is it bad if you left your macbook pro in mode 'sleep' for 2 days?

    so I am only new macbook stuff and I have a problem. I hope you guys can help me...

    This bothered me and I need to have a concrete answer.

    BTW, it of also my first macbook pro 13 "with the retina and im a little FAKE and simply wanted the best for my mac.

    so I ate dinner on Saturday night and I put my mac to sleep and thought I'll come back on that a little later but then some of my family members came rushing in our House and I totally forgot the mac. they left Sunday. So today, Monday, 01:36, I decided to use it again and now I forgot to close! I am a shutter downer and I rarely put to sleep for a few reasons of OCD. Ive had this mac for less than a month. Is it bad for the overall mac? Or im just paranoid?

    In short, ive had to sleep during the day 1 and a half or two. And also to mention, the mac is placed inside the box, it came with it, because I have not bought anyway or the handle immediately.

    Thank you for the answers!

    There is no problem to leave it in mode 'sleep'. However, do not in an enclosure for example a box or a box.

  • Audio has recently stopped working on macbook pro 2014, Win7 x 64

    Material: Retina Macbook Pro mid 2014-15 "2.8 GHz 16 GB of RAM

    Software: Mac OS + installed bootcamp Windows 7 business N SP1 64-bit with latest updates attached to the field

    Audio worked absolutely the facility for a year or two. Just recently the speakers and headphone stopped working and SPDIF red light of the headset jack is now constantly lit (did not use to be informed in all). Maybe happened as a side effect of windows update, update of apple or software update or demand of the NVIDIA driver installation.

    What audio drivers should I have installed Bootcamp software support for MBP mid 2014? Real audio hardware is present on this MBP - Apple card is vague on this point?

    When scanning for hardware changes in Device Manager the same driver is always automatically reinstalled. There is no option to delete this. The driver update has no effect. The device is shown as working properly. There is no errors and there are devices of reading for the speakers, headphones and SPDIF, but no audio exited actually.

    • High definition audio
    • Manufacturer Microsoft
    • Location 0 (internal high definition Audio Bus)
    • version 6.1.7601.17514
    • day 11-19-2010

    There was also a Microsoft device system speaker (don't download reinstalled during the analysis of new equipment) and nvidia audio drivers (for audio output HDMI).

    An additional symptom - connect headset does not show the helmet as playback device as a playback device connected as I expect.

    Is it possible the Bootcamp software support has failed to reinstall the audio drivers correctly? Can I get a feedback or a software Bootcamp Support log to see what's happening?

    A Windows somehow got locked in a SPDIF output? This cannot be a purely material error as MacOS still work very well?

    Other measures to diagnose this problem?

    A few steps I've tried without success:

    • Check all volume and mix parameters
    • Roll back these recent software installations
    • Watching installed the drivers in Device Manager - all audio devices are shown as working properly analyze, because material changes do not find any additional sound hardware to configure. Update driver drivers online research is not to find an updated driver.
    • Using an another USB audio device - this device works great
    • Reboot under Macos - built in speakers very well work
    • Restart in SafeMode the Windows - audio device does not appear to be installed (maybe the driver no is not supported in safe mode).
    • Reset the NVRAM (restart with option commmand PR)
    • Reset the controller of the SCM
    • Run the restore of the system - restore points fail to restore with the exception of a few of the latter that does not solve the problem
    • Uninstalling all audio drivers and re-run bootcamp support software setup.exe (the older version of download 5.1.5640 which seems to be the only one who supports my hardware/windows 7 x 64 combo)
    • Back the NVIDIA driver to the version provided with the support of bootcamp software
    • Intel chipset installers running provided with the support of bootcamp software
    • Assistant Configuration boot camp running on Mac OS to get the latest drivers - fails because does not support my combination of material and win7 x 64 as documented on Apple support pages
    • Not running Apple Software update - no update is available for all drivers.
    • Don't run Windows update - no update is available for all drivers

    If the red light goes out in OS x but not in Windows, it seems to be the State of the combined analogue/digital port stored in the Windows registry. On W7 on a 2013 rMBP (he has the card nVidia 750 m), this is what you should see your Audio devices.

  • 10.11.5 crashes completely after you disable wifi on old Macbook Pro

    My Macbook Pro 17 "(fin 2007) installed 10.11.5 without problems." Ran smooth and fast, and then frozen after turning off wifi. System tried to reboot itself. Could not restart, crashes when starting upwards. Had to do a clean install. Unfortunately I turned off wifi once more after re-install-same problem. Another gel, the system does not restart, no matter what I tried. No keyboard shortcut works, only cmd R gives an option to re - install the entire system. Does anyone else have this problem after turning off wifi?

    I would either reinstall El Capitan report to the current system or erase the drive altogether and install a new copy of the El Capitan. Implies that it is not a hardware problem. You did check works hardware - run a hardware test or check the system information to determine if the Wi - Fi card work.

  • IMessage stopped working on macbook pro el capitan

    I have a macbook pro with el capitan and Iphone 6plus. My previously working imessage doesn't work through my iphone anymore (worked previously) why unknown. No recent changes. I don't know if I exactly how they synchronize - through apple ID or Icloud. I disabled transfer of messages on my IPHONE to try and reset; now when I try to turn it back on, it ask for a code from my mac, but NO code will appear on my mac (as I remember previously). I can't send or receive messages, nor can I make a call from my mac using my iphone. What I am doing wrong?

    Hello

    Process.

    On the iPhone in the Messages application settings is enabled.

    This allows him so send iMessages

    If you also set the SMS allow it that does as well and will send as SMS if the other end seems not to be registered with iMessages.

    This means that the iPhone is send and receive only with iPhone number.

    Then you turn on the Mac version by adding an Apple ID for the iMessages account in the Messages application.

    This can then send and receive using the Apple ID only.

    Then, you add the Apple ID for the iPhone.

    It can then "sync" (really, the view on all devices) the iMessages sent to the iPhone or the Apple ID from there in time to leave the number.
    A pop-up on the Mac appears telling you that the iPhone uses and accepting it adds iPhone number to the list of alternatives in iMessages account on Mac.

    These iMessages are "synchronized" through the iMessages Server (nothing to do with iCloud)

    The next step, if your iPhone and your Mac can do, is to be on the same LAN for the transfer of text.

    The iPhone needs to be WiFi on and join your local network (the Mac can be WiFi or Ethernet LAN)

    You can activate the transmission of text, then the Code number must appear on the Mac which should then add to the iPhone.

    Reset this bit might need several goes until both devices forget their origin "twinning".

    This works on your network connection.

    Basically the iPhone is "sharing" its SMS connection on the support service that the iPhone becomes.

    Things to check

    In settings > Messages on the iPhone Send and Receive section cech.

    The number must be marked (active) and disabled (user cannot change this even if it sometimes fails)

    If it's Unticked then the number may be deregistered from the servers of iMessages.

    If this is the case then disable the App and wait FRO a few minutes before turning back on.

    Now, wait until the number has checked.

    Once he has done this, you can reset all the other settings (Apple ID, text Forwarding)

    If the number is actually disabled on iPhone then many aspects of Messages do not work.

  • Help: What is causing these whirring sounds! The MacBook Pro 13, retina display. Bought December 2014.

    Help: What is causing those whirring sounds that started today! I have a MacBook Pro 13 ", the retina display. I bought my MBP on 28/12/2014; is today 23/12/2015, so I'm in a one year warranty. I ran a diagnostic equipment this morning and she said my battery needed replacement, but I can't imagine a battery would create a whirring sound. Thoughts/ideas? Thank you!

    PS - Apple needs better/more emoticons, IMO.

    If the said hardware diagnostic test the batteries need maintenance, I suggest that you call your Apple store to make an appointment to have them check the battery. When you bring it ask them about whirring sounds.

  • How can I start my brand new MacBook pro, but I do not know password which someone of the store to

    How can I start my new MacBook Pro? I do not know the password for someone to the store to put it on the laptop. How can I change? I don't even connect to the laptop but I didn't even ID Apple on this topic, but I have an Apple ID on other Apple devices. Please help ASAP

    If you start the macbook does show something similar like this video? https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=_g-3me2VTGo

    For a mac for optimum operation, you need a apple ID (to download apps and updates on the app store).

    If your mac asks you a password at startup upward, you must return it to the store you bought it and ask to remove it.

    I hope this helps!
