Applecare Agent Contradicts Product Spec: 210v or 240v?

I'm going to Argentina next week, and I just got off the phone with an Applecare support agent (on an unrelated issue). I happened to ask him to verify that my laptop (a two month old Macbook Pro) would work with the 220v power in Argentina provided I had an adapter to attach to my power block. His answer was that the specification on the power supply was 210v and that I should not plug the block into an international outlet except through a converter, or else I would burn out the power block and probably the laptop, too.
That seemed weird, so I checked my power block itself. I noticed that the rating printed on the block was for 240v, not 210v (specifically, the input range is 100 - 240v). I asked the support guy why the block says 240v if the spec is 210v and he said he didn't have an explanation, but what his "literature and a bunch of [his] coworkers" were telling him was that the upper range for the block was 210v. He said he couldn't guarantee what would happen if I attempted to plug it into 220.
What the **** is going on here? Is this some sort of known issue where a bunch of blocks got shipped with the wrong specification, or is this guy just an idiot? Do I trust the specification on the device or the Apple support agent?

The person you have been talking to needs to be sent back for re-training.
MacBook power adapters work on 50 Hz, 60 Hz, and Voltages from nominal 110V to nominal 240V. That is intended to cover standard commercial power all over the world. You do not need a transformer. All you need is a local AC power cord to the adapter body.

Sequence of dependencies in product spec

Hi,
Does the sequence of dependencies that I enter in the product spec dependencies tab matters ?
Ex:
FromComponent ToComponent
A B
B C
FromComponent ToComponent
B C
A B
Does the upper two configurations are same ?
Thanks,
Harman

Hi Harman;
No, the sequence does not matter.
While we're on the topic, also keep in mind that OSM can infer dependencies between order components within a product spec (a.k.a. fulfillment pattern).
For example, if you have a dependency chain like a->b->c, then OSM will still respect the dependency between a and c even if b does not appear in the orchestration plan. This means you don't need to declare a dependency between a->b, b->c and a->c, you just need a->b, b->c. Note that this is supported for dependencies within the same product spec and its ancestors, not across product specs.
Regards,
Brian.

Product spec means of transport

Hi Team,
We have means of tranport Truck and Rail
Truck - Transport Duration of a Transportation Lane - 48 hours

I have maintained product spec means of transport in tlane master i.e.Rail - 336hour
But when i checks product view I could see "start date' and "avia/req date" is only showing two days (48h) transit.
Question - After maintaining product spec means of transpor- "rail" why system is taking truck time instend of rail time ?
Please advice me

How can Apple charge for Applecare on a product that isn't yet shipping?

I just noticed on 3/12 I got dinged $99 for Applecare on my iPad 3G+Wifi which won't ship until later this month, and I've been informed that nothing is actually shipped to me regarding Applecare - the iPad will be auto enrolled.
I also got dinged for the iPad case on 3/27 but I guess I can understand that since they've actually shipped the case. I don't like it - what good is a case without an iPad, but I understand it.
I thought you could bill for product until it ships. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I can feel your pain...but as you already pointed out AppleCare doesn't actually ship...it's an auto enroll... though I do agree it's kind of silly to charge you already...
Call them and see if they can adjust that until you actually have it in hand
Personally I don't buy Apple Care until at minimum 3 months after I purchase an item...within that first 90 days the Apple Care doesn't add more coverage than the normal Apple warranty... then within the first year you are covered for manuf. defects by Apple anyway...so unless you need to call and get phone support...having both at same time during that first year does't really do much for you... again after the first 90 days if you need phone support you NEED AppleCare... but if not then buying AppleCare right before you first year is over wont change your coverage options for defects that occur

AppleCare iMac old product number OK?

Hello,
I've just ordered "AppleCare Protection 3year iMac" from Saverstore, a fairly large online retailer in the UK. Searching the given part number M7812Z/A (which would be equivalent to M7812LL/B in the States, I think) reveals that this is the code used for AppleCare around 2001-3 timeframe. I read of at least one person using this part number when buying off eBay to register a more modern iMac successfully, but I'm the type to worry, so I called AppleCare just now.
I was told in the first instance that "all iMacs are treated the same", but when I indicated my worry about the part number, the rep stated (without even asking for the number) that the only way of checking applicability to a particular computer was to open up the box and supply the registration number. While UK distance selling regulations will certainly enable me to return a sealed box within 7 working days, opened is another matter.
Since someone's had to set the AppleCare database to accept/deny agreement numbers based on part numbers, there's obviously someone in Apple who knows the answer , but I'm not sure who to ask next.
Any thoughts are welcome - thanks for listening.

Hi Veri!
I'm still using a number of AppleCares with part number M8851LL/A that I bought several years ago. Yes, I was expecting the prices to go up, so I bought in a stock of them. The AppleCare packages are dated 2003, as are the TechTool Deluxe CDs that have been inside. WARNING: do NOT use any of those old TechTool discs, as they are pre-Tiger!!! and of course, pre-Leopard. The ones you're looking at may even be pre-Panther.
Every one of the AppleCares that I've used to enroll a Mac, nine so far, has been accepted immediately on Apple's website and has been credited (attached) to the computer serial number that I entered. The most recent use was last week when I enrolled one of the old AppleCare with my new Alu iMac. A week to ten days later I always receive the AppleCare certificate in the mail from Apple.
The AppleCare database with which you'll interface online does not reference the package part number at all. You enter the serial number of your Mac and the Enrollment No. that's contained inside the sealed package. You'll be offered a confirmation screen where you confirm everything, including what kind of Mac you're enrolling, prior to submitting it and it's then instantly enrolled to cover that Mac.
It simply must be an iMac/eMac package to use with either of those computers. The iMac and eMac both have the same cost AppleCare. Obviously, one can not use a less expensive product to replace a more expensive product, and Apple's online interface does make that distinction.
Be sure not to wait until the actual anniversary date of your Mac purchase, as the requirement is to enroll within the first year. The anniversary date is the first day after the year is over. Learn the hard way, is my motto:(

Control Panel shows only 4GB of RAM but product specs say I should have 8GB

My HP Pavilion Elite HPE-250f desktop is supposed to have 8GB of RAM factory installed, but the control panel only shows 4GB. When I run diagnostics with the Support Assistant software it says everything is working fine but also shows only 4GB of RAM. I've had the computer for several months now and the warranty recently expired. In the past I noticed it said 4GB and thought I must have purchased a computer with only 4GB, but it always seemed odd to me. I looked up the specs online and it says the HPE-250f has 8GB, and it also says 8GB on the box it came in. I have not made any modifications to the computer, and have never opened the cabinet. I am hesitant to open the cabinet, but don't feel I should have to pay a lot of money to figure this out.

The model of graphics card on my laptop and on the product specs on hp website are different

i have an HP Pavilion 15-e001AX laptop, the model numbers of the graphics card on my laptop and the specifications given on hp site are slightly different.
AMD Radeon HD 8650M/8670M is specification given on web and AMD Radeon HD 8650G + 8600M Dual Graphics is given on my laptop.
are these 2 the same? if so why is it displayed differently on my laptop?...
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi:
The HD 8650M is a typo on the HP specs. The correct name of the graphics adapter is the HD 8650G.
That is the onboard graphics adapter.
The 8670M is the discrete video adapter which is supposed to kick in when the graphics demand is too much for the 8650G.
Now for some odd reason, the device manager lists the 8670M graphics adapter as an 8600M because that is how the driver file description for the 8670M graphics adapter hardware ID is labeled.
But your notebook has an 8670M discrete graphics adapter. There is no such adapter as an 8600M.
The 8600M is the series name.
Below are the graphics adapters in the 8500M and 8600M series

Sony HT-CT350/150 Incorrect Product Specs

Since both of these products are hot sellers right now, I just have to point out that the Best Buy pages for these particular products have incorrect specification information. They will only decode Dolby Digital, DTS, and LPCM audio, just like the HTC-CT100. They do not decode Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD-MA but will recognize the high-bitrate Dolby and DTS core tracks embedded in those audio streams and play them accordingly.

I've reverted back to 5.5.0 as I was experiencing lock-up problems with the BM Intensity Pro.
Unfortunately I haven't found a way of simply uninstalling the update and reverting back to an earlier version. Win 7 Sytem Restore wouldn't, so I had to uninstall Premiere Pro, apply the Adobe Clean Install utility (or whatever!) and then reinstall PP CS5.5. Trouble was that it reinstalled the whole suite, not just PP - so I lost all custom workspaces across the suite.
Grrrrr!

Can anyone help for this error.
Many thanx in Advance

Hi Babloo,
According to the error message, the package may have failed are as follows:
The user account that is used to run the package under SQL Server Agent in PRODUCTION server differs from the original package author.
The user account does not have the required permissions to make connections or to access resources outside the SSIS package.
The package may not run in the following scenarios:
The current user cannot decrypt secrets from the package. This scenario can occur if the current account or the execution account differs from the original package author, and the package's ProtectionLevel property setting does not let the current user
decrypt secrets in the package. In this scenario, we can change the SSIS Package ProtectionLevel property to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword, then modify the SQL Server Agent job step command line to include this password.
File access fails because the current user does not have the required permissions to write to the file share that the connection manager accesses. In this scenario, we can create a SQL Server Agent proxy account. This proxy account must use a credential
that lets SQL Server Agent run the job as the account that created the package or as an account that has the required permissions.

Three agent UR versions gets installed from gateway - SCOM 2012 SP1 UR4

Hi,
We have a SCOM 2012 SP1 UR4 installation with several gateways that servers connect to and get installation from.
We noticed that when the agent get installed on a client server it gets first the agent itself, then UR1, UR2 and last UR4.
From the XML-section in the task that has installed the agent one can read the following:
SoftwareUpdateInstalled KB2784734-amd64-Agent.msp;KB2826664-amd64-Agent.msp;KB2880799-amd64-Agent.msp; SoftwareUpdateInstalled
Below is from the application log of a newly installed server that got the agent installed.
The question I have is if this is correct? Why are all three UR installed?
Shouldn't it be enough with the latest version of UR? Are they not cumulative?
Can I simply delete the older versions in the agent directory of the Gateway?
Regards S-E

Hi,
This should be normal, as we can see in the below two articles. When applying Update Rollup 2, UR1 is listed there, and when applying Update Rollup 3, UR1 and UR2 is listed there also.

I bought an iphone 5 about 4 months ago and got applecare. yesterday I had to get on a different plan within the same company so i traded in my phone and got a new iphone 5. can i transfer my applecare to this new phone or would I have to buy it again?

I bought a 16gb iphone 5 about 3 months ago and got applecare. yesterday I had to get on a different plan within the same company so i traded in my phone and got a new 32gb iphone 5. can i transfer my applecare to this new phone or would I have to buy it again?

As this is a WW forum with different AppleCrare offerings you need to specify which Country
as in North America has AppleCare+ and everywhere else AppleCare ,very different products
So to avoid incorrect guidance suggest you specify Country
