    Use MacBook Pro with charger on green light

    Hey guys, I have a MacBook Pro mid 2012 and its battery is not that good as it was before. And sometimes I use it a lot while the charger is plugged and green. Doing that can cause any damage to the hardware or even the battery itself? Thanks!

    Anyone else have experience / measurements as to whether Win10 is more efficient as a VM under Fusion compared to Win7? On the one hand - Win10 probably has more going on in the background - on the otherhand I would guess that is has been designed with the idea of a mobile world...

    Hi, since I have the iPad Pro (1.5 year) the data of "Time Since Last Full Charge" is always empty. Should be this somewhere activated? I made hundreds of full charges.... The same on iPhone 7.

    Battery health software question

    Have an iMac at home, but my personal laptop for at-work stuff is a Dell XPS 15. Am considering replacing it with a 2018 MBP. My question is about whether there’s a Mac app for automatically managing the battery’s health. Dell has an app called Dell Command Power Manager which, among other...

    MBP black screen and temperature error

    My MacBook Pro 17" mid-2009 monitor remains black. I've already tried all the possible resets I found on web discussions (SMC, PRAM, hold power, ...). Now I'm using it with a VGA monitor through mini-display port. I've launched the Apple Test Hardware, which for models before 2013 has to be...

    Series 2 Battery Drain

    My Series 2 (currently watchOS 4.3) watch battery used to last 36+ hours. But for about 3-4 months it barely lasts 24 hours. I only have Sleep Watch and Carrot Weather apps. I had Sleep Watch since the beginning. So I removed the Carrot Weather complication to find out if it was the reason. But...

    Good wireless charging battery?

    I'm looking for a portable battery that also charges wirelessly. In other words, I should be able to put my phone on it and it should charge even if I just leave them unconnected to anything. I know they exist, but are there any good ones? Do they charge the watch as well as the phone?

    iOS 12 battery monitor lacking usage/standby values since last charge

    Hi everyone, is it just me, or is the new iOS 12 battery screen lacking information that were there until iOS 11? Specifically, until now it was possible to see how many hours the iPhone was actually used and in standby since it was last charged. The new battery screen only shows usage (screen...

    Hello everyone, I'm kinda new on the forum. I have early 2011 15" MacbookPro and still works very well for basic use. I've already replaced its HDD and removed the optical drive, upgraded its RAM capacity over the years. I can still use my macbook but want to make it lighter than now. Is there...

    iPhone 6(S)/Plus iPhone 6 battery left on over time

    Now I thought I’ve heard that putting your phone up for a long time (like 2 years) can insta kill the battery if left on. Is this true? I’m buying an iPhone 6 off someone and they said that they never turned it off and it’s put up for quite some time. How bad will the damage be?

    Do you think Apple slows down Macbook Pros, similar to the recent iPhone battery scandal?

    It is now the middle of 2018 - three years after the manufacture date of my mid-2015 MBP. 'Coincidently' the MBP has suddenly begun to decrease in speed and power in the recent weeks. It's also funny that Apple provides a three year AppleCare plan. I wouldn't put it past Apple to apply the same...
