    Al Dente for a student?

    Hey everyone, I’m going to get a Macbook soon. Since this is my first Mac machine I’ve been doing some research, and as if there weren’t enough things to be aware of I found out about Battery Cycles ;) Now I’ve been doing some research about the topic and found out that quite a handful of people...

    DIY power adapter ok for Tiger, not for Leopard

    I recently detailed (in another thread) how I’d made a power supply for my Pismo using a stereo plug, an RCA plug, and an old Dell powerbrick. It’s still working fine, however when I installed Leopard on another partition the other day I noticed that there was an “x” in the battery icon and...

    iPad Fast Charger (wired or portable) for ipad pro

    My wife does graphic design on her ipad pro and it frequently runs out of power. There's nothing wrong with battery it's just that she uses a lot of procreate on it and it sucks the battery dry. I'm looking for a fast-charger of some sorts that'll get her back up and running with minimal wait...

    Hi Everyone, I know this has been looked at before but I can’t make this stop. It’s really frustrating and is ruining my enjoyment of the device. If I charge the iPad to 100% guaranteed by the end of the day if I haven’t touched it it’ll be down at 20%. I have the new M4 iPad Pro. It’s the...

    Does anyone else wish there was something between the Apple Watch and Ultra?

    I've worn an Apple Watch since 2018, got it for running and daily use. Started with the Series 4 (Space Grey), and then started running full marathons...the battery was in bad shape after a few years so I then got a Series 8 (Silver) in 2022. I loved it, but after WatchOS10...the battery took...

    iOS 18 does not let me charge iPhone 13PM past 80% with Optimized Battery Charging on.

    There’s a bug in iOS 18 and my iPhone 13 pro max that when I leave my phone to charge overnight with Optimized Battery Charging on, it only charges to 80% by morning. The problem is that it stays like this indefinitely, and I can’t get it to charge past 80% at my location. Back in iOS 17, my...

    Out of warranty battery replacement at higher than 80%?

    What is Apple’s policy on replacing batteries out of warranty before they show an alert in the menu bar? I was told by AppleCare over the phone (twice) that if I’m paying out of pocket they will replace a degraded battery even if it’s not down to 80% yet and showing the warning. Mine is at 84%...

    Help with Battery - Mac Air early 2015

    Ok so I'll start this by saying I know nothing about Mac or Apple as a whole so your advice would really come in handy. I've had this early 2015 Mac Air and started using it in 2020, almost every day. Until a month ago I knew nothing about battery cycles and only when I saw, 3 weeks ago, that my...

    15" MBP Mid 2014 repeat rebooting on power after battery change

    For a few years the battery on my MacBook Pro 11,2 (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014, model number A1398, OS Catalina 10.15.7) showed as 100% full and needing a service - but it wouldn't run at all without a power connection. The battery wasn't at all bloated. I recently replaced the battery - the new...
