Strange behaviour of my macbook

[Rosemary Spark]

Hi there,
I've paid my dues for 2019 today...better late than never!

For some time my macbook has been behaving weirdly. All of these behaviours
together...or one at a time!

1) it shuts down for no reason
2) it asks to sign into icloud (when already signed in) Then sends messages
to my iphone and ipad saying a new device has been connected
3) it comes up with a series of boxes saying xxx has to connect to login
keychain. I have to enter my login password into these over and over again.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) Mojave 10.14.2

Cheers
Rosemary

Hello Severin,

I guess you tried a complete shutdown and restart of your iPad2 mini.

Try: Reset Network Settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. 
This will not erase any apps or media but will erase Wi-Fi passwords.

Kind regards,
Ronni

Internet

[Severin Crisp]

I am using an ageing iPad2 mini with iOS 8.5
With several sites I open the app and then get a " not connected to the 
Internet" message which patently is not true.  
Is this an age phenomenon and is there a workaround?

Re: Battery care - Macbook Air

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Stephen,

Graham’s post which I replied to was regarding his MacBook Air’s battery not an 
iPhones battery!

You can believe the Apple Store if you wish, that’s your choice, but I’ll stick 
with my original post on how to charge lithium-ion batteries on my iPhone.

“According to Battery University, the lithium-ion battery in your smartphone 
will last longest if you keep it 65% to 75% charged at all times.

Clearly, it’s impractical to always keep your phone charge between those levels 
– but at least you know what’s ideal.

If you can’t do that, shoot for keeping its charge level between 45% and 75%.
Charging to 100%, or overnight? Fully discharging before plugging in? These 
common practices can shorten the usable life of your battery, according to 
Cadex, a company that offers devices that test smartphone batteries, among 
others.

Cadex offers a lot of information on its Battery University website, including 
about lithium-ion batteries – the type that powers smartphones.”

Kind regards,
Ronni
