i'm new the mac world (i currently bought my macbook pro a few days ago) and have some questions about the battery....hope someone can help me out..
1) first of all i'm confused how to read it. for example it says 83% so how long do i really have?
2) what does it mean to calibrate the battery and why is it so important to do so..(i've been seeing that your supposed to drain the battery once a month?)
3) i turned off blue tooth, dim the backlight, have everything on energy saving mode and all that but still finding that my battery goes alot faster than it should. (all i basically do is go on the internet and aim and once in a while itunes) i quiet all the apps that i don't wanna use anymore like iphoto and garage band
4) how do i differ when i wanna put it to sleep or to shut it down?
hope someone can help me out..it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks so much,
katie
