3rd party iPhone 5 adapter question

I recently bought the iPhone 5 from AT&T and while i was there they said something that if i were to used a 3rd party adapter to charge my phone, i would leave a electric stamp in the phone and would void out any warranty and the same thing for 3rd party cases. Now to me, it sort of sounded like a crock to try to get me to buy thier marked up products but is there any truth to this?
Thanks in advance.

Ok so let's work out how much I need to spend on adapters!
We have 3 iPhone 4's in the house which I would love to upgrade to iPhone 5's plus 1 ipod touch which again I would love to upgrade.
We have 1 speaker dock in the dining room, 1 in the living room and 2 upstairs! Now charging is not a problem cos I will get lightning cables with all the new devices!
All of my docks are on many occasions being used at once!
So I need £120 worth of adapters.... Which to be honest are a bit ugly and I'm not convinced will fit some of my devices!!!
I got about £400 quids worth of equiptment which is now redundant unless I spend another £120!!
I personally am only one of many whos is not happy with having to buy the adapter!
I understand the need to move with times and thik the cable is brilliant! But common I bet it only costs a fiver to make!!!

3rd Party AC-Adapter Question

I bought a 3rd Party AC-Adapter for my iPhone and I have a quick question.
I know the iPhone is required to charge w5 volts and not more, but it says on the box that the *Output DC* is 12V, but it also says 5V DC (regulated). Is this okay? Can I trust it to charge my iPhone? Will it affect the battery meter in anyway?

Apple was very slow to license its proprietary MagSafe connector to other manufacturers, though it appears they've finally done so now. For the longest time, it was just impossible to find anyone selling third-party MagSafe adapters, and those who did were clearly buying Apple adapters at full price and cutting the plugs off them. It made their products exorbitantly expensive. That's no longer the case; you can find junk MagSafe adapters online now for less than $25. I wouldn't buy one, but you may want to consider that option.

Airport card vs ethernet vs 3rd party usb adapter.

Hello, I hope someone here can help. I have a G4 tower 8493 and purchased Airport Extreme so I can connect an iPad. After reading tons of support questions it looks like I have 3 options. Purchase an airport card and give up some speed, connect G4 directly to airport exteme with ethernet or purchase a 3rd party usb adapter.
First - are those options correct?
Second - which is better/stable?
Third - if ehernet is chosen, what exactly would I buy and where would this cable go?
Thanks so much in advance, I really have no idea what I should do.

Hello,
The Airport 802.11b card & the USB Wifi adapter limited by USB1.1 speeds will have about the same theoretical limit of speed, but I get far better range & speed using the USB adapters, & the USB adapters can do WPA2, which Airport cannot.

Another option is a PCI card, more expensive, but more speed...
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonnet%20Technology/N80211PCI/
Not sure if this cheaper one works on G4s, I'd ask them...
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Edimax/EW7722IN/
You have a built-in Ethernet port, but make sure it works before going that route.
I'd chose the USB Wifi myself.

3rd-party MagSafe adapter almost caught fire!

OK, long story short, I was using my 13-inch MacBook just fine. I have been using this 3rd-party power adapter for a month or two after the original stopped working:
http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/lovemacs_2219_691224488
Things were still going fine, until suddenly just a little while before I began typing this, I noticed the green LED blinking yellow and smoke coming from it! Of course I panicked, shut off the power to the strip it was connected to, unplugged it and pulled out the power cord. The MacBook itself is OK, and the MagSafe port on it looks fine. The MagSafe connector itself looks fine; no frays on the wire, no burn marks on the connector itself, etc.; but now I'm afraid to re-plug it in (this might be the safest option.)
Any recommendations? Should I take my MacBook to an Apple Store? Or should I just go and buy a "real" 60w MagSafe power adapter?

buy an Apple branded adapter, you can often find them used on eBay etc.. 3rd party adapters tend to be of less quality. Lesson learned.

3rd Party SCORM Adapter

I'm wondering if anyone has implemented a 3rd party SCORM adapter with OLM? We have run into performance issues with the integrated SCORM Adapters ability to stream voice. Our courses are currently created with UPK - with voice - and are VERY large in size. Unfortunatley, UPK only supports WAV files at this time which is unfortunately a very large voice file with minimal to no compression.
We are experiencing tremendous slowdown deliverying this content with our existing OLM infrastructure. We had an OLM Architect completely review our implementation to assure accurate configuration and the result was that all was configured correctly - but the SCORM adapter doesn't efficiently stream the voice. Our experience has shown that each page takes approximately 175Kbp per page to bring down the voice (this compares to a 28Kbp voice call)....you can see the HUGE difference. '
Before I start researching other adapters for OLM - interested to hear if anyone else has experienced this same problem and potential resolutions.
NOTE: We are currently deployed with a single content server accessed over the WAN but are heavily considering local content servers...the issue becomes accurate replication and assuring every content server has the same "instance of the truth"....we would be deploying 18 content servers worldwide so I think you can see the concern here.
Of course and easy solution is no voice....but not the desired outcome.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Lisa

Lisa,
The SCORM Adapter has nothing to do with it. The SCORM adapter is simply an HTML frameset surrounding the content. The issue sounds like the content server machine more than anything else.

3rd party Iphone books. Are these any good?

Everyone knows that Apple is notorious for their lack of written documentation regarding their products. You get a little booklet with little or no information and either a web site or a electronoc file with a to fill in the rest of the documentation. Again the electronic files and the booklet do not get into great detail about the product nuances. I have beeen looking at two Iphone books that seem to be good but I am not sure if there are any better 3rd party books. The two that I looked at are:
Iphone 4 Made Simple
( http://www.amazon.com/iPhone-Made-Simple-Martin-Trautschold/dp/1430231920)
and
Iphone 4 Thr Missing Manual
( http://www.amazon.com/iPhone-Missing-Manual-Covers-Software/dp/1449393659/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1296942194&sr=1-1)
Any opinions?

Never mind. I just realized I totally misread your question... I't is still early for me!
I am hoping that any booklets would be from Apple and not Verizon. It would only make sense since Verizon will do none of the service on them, only Apple. But, we all know what "it would only make sense" usually gets us. Maybe hold of on them until you actually see what you get.

3rd Party Power Adapter that works properly?

My original Apple power adapter has failed like many others do prematurely - the cord breaks down where it enters the block. I bought a 3rd party adapter from ebay (a Delta electronics one, in white and wearing official Apple markings) Although it is a 65w, when my 15" PB battery flattened, and went to sleep, the power adapter failed to start it up again until the battery had had chance to recharge some. So, this adapter is no good, and is going back to the seller. Does anyone know of a cheaper (Apple's own is ridiculously expensive at nearly £60) adapter that really does work with the PowerBook? By "work" I mean will it start up the machine from flat-battery-induced sleep.
Many thanks - if not, it looks like I'll have to pay for another Apple-Short-Life Charger!
Cheers

I have used three different adaptors, other than Apple's. Unless you are lucky, I suspect you will get what you pay for. Try:
http://www.psaparts.co.uk/ (1)
http://www.laptopshop.co.uk (2) I addition I have used Kensingtons fancy brick. Note they have adaptors for aircraft etc so make sure you get the right one.
I have just got and started using a 90W device from "(2)" I like having the spare power and that you can buy extra tips. For 90W and changeable tips (only one supplied as standard) the basic price of £45 plus VAT seems OK. They have smaller power devices.
The adaptor from "(1)" also has spare capacity and kept a Titanium (I know it needs less) alive for days. I have never had to start from a completely dead battery but the power is there with both.
The best supply I have is a Sagem powering my fax. It has been on for two years. I am reconciled to all these supplementary heating devices. My fridge does the same.

Oracle RAC/3rd party clusterware support question

Does anyone know if Oracle supports a Linux RAC system also running HP Ibrix clusterware? I was not able to find a list of certified 3rd party clusterware vendors that Oracle will support to run with RAC. If anyone has this information, please let me know. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the response, the versions would be RHEL5, 11g rac/rdbms, using HP Ibrix as 3rd party clusterware.
I'll open an SR if I can't find the information I need on this forum, but I prefer to reserve opening SR's for technical issues and after I've done dilligence to find the information.
If anyone has come accross this information, please let me know. Thanks!

LP9.1.1/10.6.3 -- 3rd party plug-ins question..

The last 4 nights on my new system have been stable---iMac i7/LP9.1.1/10.6.3
Now i'm missing my 3rd party plug-is which i have not installed yet.
Stylus RMX
Omnisphere
Maschine is in the mail and i may jump at the Komplete 6/Kore 2 bundle sale.
What should i expect with 3rd party plug-ins and Logic 9.1.1, am still in 32bit mode, but lots of horror stories about noise on first note, crashes etc.
I bought this system for film scoring kinda stuff, so internal logic instrumenst are not enough for me.
Please advise.
Thanks
Faisal

I would suggest to make sure Logic is in 32bit mode when you first run it after installing your plug-in's. I had the darndest time trying to get my Komplete and Sample Tank's to show up- then it dawned on me that I was in 64-bit. Ran in 32-bit and the plug in manager found all the 3rd party stuff.
Once you have it installed (remember that a lot of plug-ins should be ran first in their standalone mode to authorize)- switch back to 64-bit and all should be good (for the most part).

3rd-party AC adapter for Powerbook and Macbook?

Looking into buying an AC adapter to keep at a 3rd location I'm spending a lot of time at. My current Powerbook won't live forever, so I'll probably be getting a Macbook (Pro) in a future that's nearer and nearer, and thus it'd be great if I could feed a future laptop off the same adapter. There are lots of adapters to work with whole collections of laptops, but for now I haven't found a single one that comes with the connectors for both a Powerbook and a Macbook. Are these models that different in their power requirements?

Apple was very slow to license its proprietary MagSafe connector to other manufacturers, though it appears they've finally done so now. For the longest time, it was just impossible to find anyone selling third-party MagSafe adapters, and those who did were clearly buying Apple adapters at full price and cutting the plugs off them.

3rd party iPhone apps no longer launching - as of today (1/21/2010)

All third-party apps (those Not installed with the iPhone) are not launching.
I have called support and have done the following:
-Restarted the iphone
-Deleted apps. Installed New Apps. Deleted New apps. etc.
-Unchecked "Sync Apps" in ITunes (which removes them all).
-Checked "Sync Apps" and resynced (reinstalled all apps - which I then painstaking moved to the screens that I wanted them installed on)
When I touch an app, it appears to launch for a second, and then the screen appears, so the app never fully launches.
-I have signed out and back in my iTunes account.
I purchased this Iphone 3GS the day it was available on the web (from AT&T). All apps were working and launching until this morning. 3.1.2. 32 Gb. I've removed several apps so I "only" have five screens, or less than 80 apps.
I have set up for a callback Friday morning, but am wondering what others may have done with the similar problem.

After posting this, I read through related issues and found a reference to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
I did the first step, which was Slightly Different than what I had done, and solved my problem. In short: iTunes > select iPhone icon > Store: Deauthorize, etc. Of course, now I have to set up all that apps with UserIds and passwords . . . .
This appears to be a DRM issue (Digital Rights Management). Why, I have no idea, but this is how I am now able to use all apps on my phone (once again).

EDI with 3rd Party warehouse config question

I wasn't able to find a bettwr formum for an EDI question, and since most of them seemed to be posted to this forum, here I go....
I am trying to configure a 4.6 system to be able to exchange EDI documents to a third party warehouse. We want to send them a message to ship product and to receive a message confirming what they shipped. This will be related to outbound delivery documents in SAP.
I have setup a Logic System representing the warehouse, a new output condition to represent the outbound notification to ship product and the partner profile for the Logical System.
When I try to create the output for the delivery (I entered Output: LD03, Medium: 6, Part Func: LS, Partner: WHSE3RD and Language EN) I get the
error message: "You cannot enter a partner function for output LD03" (VN041).
f I don't enter the partner function, it gives me the message "Partner function does not exist in table TPAR" (VN046).
Any ideas as to what I am missing?
Thanks, Rick

Hi Richard,
Have you setup LS Partner Profile (t/code WE20) for WHSE3RD, distribution model (t/code BD64) and record condition for output type (t/code NACE)?

How do I get a 3rd party WiFi adapter to be recognized as default WiFi?

I have a really great USB WiFi adapter that unfortunately does function the same as the PCI-e WiFi adapter. Essentially I have to connect to networks with the software that came with the adapter (which is really good) and I cannot use the status bar WiFi icon. This isn't much of an issue but unfortunately this means that AirDrop does not recognize this device either. I must turn on the PCI-e adapter (which is practically broken) to use AirDrop. Is there a way that I can make my USB adapter (Alfa AWUS036NHR using Realtek RTL8192C chipset) act as an integrated adapter?
I realize that
defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces 1
will get AirDrop to work on all interfaces, but I'm really wondering if I can make Mac accept my adapter as "WiFi" under networks

Something.....a Mac or PC will need to have a 5.x version of AirPort Utility installed on the computer.
Perform a factory default reset on the Time Capsule by powering it off for a few minutes. Then, hold in the reset button first and keep holding for an additional 10-12 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the Time Capsule. Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
Open up AirPort Utility on the computer, select the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab below the row of icons to type in a device name and password that you want to use for the Time Capsule, set Time Zone, etc.
Click the Wireless tab next to the Base Station tab
Hold down the option or Alt key while you click on the Wireless Mode setting box
Select the Join a wireless network setting
Select the name of the wireless network
Enter the password for the wireless network
Verify the password
Click Update to save the settings
Note....everything here assumes that the router that provides the wireless network is using WPA2 Personal security, which is the default setting for the Time Capsule.

3rd party wifi adapter?

Hi everyone. I have an old macbook pro which is still a great machine except the wifi doesn't work. I've had it serviced and it's just non functional, period. It still works wonderfully well when wired into ethernet port. I have purchased a macbook air, but I'd still like to use my macbook pro wirelessly if possible.
Does anyone know of a usb/dongle type of product that I can plug in to connect the old girl wirelessly? It's a Macbook Pro1,1, 2 GHz Intel Core Duo, OS-X 10.6.8
Thanks!

Any ideas? Picture shows InSSIDer not recognizing my USB Wi-Fi adapter and the Chromecast setup app not recognizing it either. However, it's setup correctly in Network Preferences and I have a full connection.

Integrating standalone OC with existing 3rd party LDAP directory question

Hello everyone,
we have a standalone version 9 Oracle Calendar server with internal directory. We also have an existing enterprise wide LDAP directory. We would like to integrate them together, with as few changes to our existing LDAP schema as possible. Has anyone dealt with this issue before? Are there any documents out there describing how to deal with such situation? What if we upgrade to OC version 10 first?
Thanks

Migration might be tricky -
We've been running Calendar since the Netscape era with external LDAP. Basically user's preferences are stored in LDAP, though these can be 'regenerated' on the fly by the client using defaults.
You will need to modify the schema, but it's simply as loading the supplied schema file.
Data itself is still maintained in the internal DB. The link between the DB and LDAP is done via the calendar ID number which gets stored in the user's entry in ldap.
I don't think it would matter on upgrading OC to 10 or not, since the upgrade would not modify anything on the LDAP side (schema has not changed).
You should set up a test environment and test it out...
