Adapter Keeps Dying

Why do my adapters keep dying? I've had 2 croak in the last four months. At $80 a pop, this is getting pretty costly.
Any way to fix these stupid little things?
About to turn a loyal Mac owner (20+ years) into a bitter ex-Mac owner. FEH!

Welcome to the Apple discussion forums.
Are you using the 3 prong, with grounding, plug? Is it always plugged into the same outlet? Could there be a quality of electricity issue that's toasting your adapter? If that's possible, you may want to invest in a device that moderates the electricity into a narrower band, which also provides buffer against power spikes. There are a number of them on the market for computers.

  • Why does my fully charged iPad 2 battery keep dying at 50% charge? I have updated to iOS 7 and this started happening. What could be the cause of it?

    My iPad's battery keeps dying. When I plug it in and put it back on, the screen shows a drained battery. After a few moments it boots up. However, when I check the battery charge, it's at 52% or so. Can someone tell me what's causing this? And what can I do to fix it?

    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

    You said "while it was restoring it said that there was an error ".
    What was the wording of the error message?

  • Jst bought an iphone 5s and 5c battery keeps dying have noticed a lot of people have had this issue for awhile but I haven't seen any real fix. ???

    I just bought a 5s and the battery keeps dying. I have noticed several people have had this same problem for awhile but I haven't really seen a fix.
    I am loosing about 1% every 2 min as well. not very tech savy but I did turn off the LTE. I did originally let phone die all the way then charge all the way.
    Have only had for 3 days should I start with taking it back and replacing? or does everyone think this is a software fix we are all gonna have to wait for ?
    Thanks

    You can try this link for some help http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/19/ios-7-battery-life-fix/. I do not see my iPhone 5s behaving in this manner, so there has to be some settings that you are using that are giving you problems. Did you restore this phone from an older iPhone backup? If so, you might want to restore the device as new and start over and sync over individual parts to see what might be bad.

  • Messaging Bridge keeps dying

    I am using weblogic 10.3 on sunos and i am seeing this issue where the messaging bridges keep dying ever so often(once or twice a week). I have over 15 servers in the weblogic domain but out of them only 2-3 messaging bridges die at random. The issue is compounded by the fact that the weblogic logs say unable to connect to source destination will retry later but weblogic never retries. I can't see any configuration where i can configure duration and number of retries for messaging bridges. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Ok is there a way anyone knows of by which we can reset the messaging bridge from the admin console without having to restart the managed server?

  • Xdm keeps dying

    After a recent upgrade to Solaris 9 the xdm keeps dying and restarted after about 5-10 minutes. I can speed this up by stopping and starting the script in the /etc/rc2.d/ directory but it still dies after about 5 minutes with no real error message to go on.

    On another related subject... if my computer is 'chuffed' I don't understand about Apples approach to repairs and stuff... It was my understanding that if a piece of hardware was under a year old and suffered from a technical fault it was the responsibility of the company to replace/repair for free? Apple seem to only do 90 days? IS that right?
    If I need a new part will I have to pay for parts and service even though I've had it less than a year (7 months)
    Your Imac has 90 days phone support and 1 year parts and labour. If you phone after the 90 days is up they will ask for a credit card #, now if they find out it is a hardware issue you will not be charged.
    Now if it won't power on at all I would thing it is a hardware issue, if it was a bad hard drive or corrupted software then it should turn on but not find the drive or the OS on the drive. Call Apple again and tell them you want it fixed or take it in you are still covered.
    You should also think about extended warrentee which gives you a total of three years phone support and three years parts and labour. Keep us posted, Bob :~))

  • I phone 4S keeps dying.

  • Iphone 5 battery keeps dying! Will apple charge me a lot??

    Iphone 5 is just out of warranty and the battery keeps dying so fast! So from 70% it dies and then have to wait ten minutes for it to come back on! To then have the percentage at 1%!!! So disappointed with apple. Will they charge me for a new battery???

    If out of warranty, yes, they will probalby charge you.
    Try restoring the device as new, i.e. without your backup.

  • My I phone 4 keeps dying and I keep restoring it and now I don't even have a decent downloaded Itunes on my computer? When it is about to dye it turns a Sepia color than keeps rerouting. Help please?

    I phone keeps dying I have had it since 12/2012, Christmas past 2 months started dying and then keeps trying to reroute, I have restored it 20 or more times. Right before it dyes the screen turns Sepia Brown and then nothing. Now computer is telling me that Itunes is corrupted. Any ideas???  Much appreciated and Thank You.

    Sounds like an impending failure of the phone. Try to get a good backup of all data and photos. Then Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Ipod Keeps dying :-(

    so my video ipod keep dying on me whenever i go running...any ideas why or how to fix it? i dont want to lose my 5K songs...

    As long as they are in iTunes you won't lose them. It sounds like your battery has died. You'll either need a new battery which can be a little difficult to replace, or a new iPod.

  • My iPhone 5 keeps dying

    My phone keeps dying at 40% or more and then when it is charging, it stays at the same percentage or looses battery. Also, my keyboard periodically stops working completely. I don't know what to do..?

    Press home button twice quickly, delete all the background apps from memory, with iOS 7 slide all the window panes up. Then Reset, hold both the home and power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone restarts.

  • Receiver File Adapter: Keep original Filename in E-Mail Attachment

    Dear All
    On our SAP-XI 7.0.1 (EHP 1, sp 4) we have the following scenario:
    (1) SAP-XI picks a FlatFile from the R/3 application server. This file should be forwarded unmodified to the e-mail receiver.
    (2) In the Sender channel I have set the option "Set Adapter-specific Message Attributes" including the FileName.
    (3) In the Receiver channel I have set the message protocol = XIPAYLOAD. In the "Mail Attributes" I do NOT use the mail package yet marked the flag "Keep Attachments". No module has been added to this channel.
    Result: The original file "dollytest1" is sent as e-mail attachment "Untitled.xml".
    QUESTION: Is there a (simple) solution which allows the e-mail attachment to keep its genuine filename ("dollytest1") without any suffix?
    Regards
      Uwe
