Can I use older AC adaptor?

I just bought the x201 that comes with a 65watt 20volt 3.25amp AC adaptor.
I have old thinkpad AC adaptors, 90 watt, 20 volt, 4.5 amps, with the same connector. Can I use that as a spare?
Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Sure, you can. 90W adapter will charge the battery more quickly too!
Hope this helps.

If you have the AT&T 3G iPad then you can explore the SIM card. I'm not sure if India has the SIM network or another type. REgardless you should be able to access wifi.
HOnestly, if I were traveling I'd get a plug adapter from a normal retail store. You can get a good one for $20 or less at your local retailer, Walgreens, Walmart, Target, probably KMart though I've not looked for them there. Best Buy and the office supply stores may also have them. You don't have to pay for the official one unless you want to. (I have 'over the counter' plug adapters so if I traveled I'd use what I have not buy another)

Well, it does depend a bit on whether he/she lives in a country where tuition might be zero, and the minimum monthly wage far lower than in the West. Perhaps CC is not even available in his/her country. Perhaps he/she has to take care of an entire family as well - and no money is left for anything as luxurious as a CC subscription.
We have no way of knowing his/her circumstances. They might be bad. If they are, I doubt Adobe will care she/he is using a cracked old version to learn the craft, and then go legit at a later time when she/he can afford it to produce professional work.
Honestly, I feel Adobe should just provide their tools for free for students. Autodesk does that. No reason why Adobe should not follow suit. Most students I know work with cracked versions anyway.

Can I use a 85w adaptor with my (60w) MacBook Air?

I have an old MBP and a new MBA. Can I use the old 85w adaptor with the MBA?

The question to be answered is pretty simple:
"Does the increased output cause a high enough rise in temperature to shorten the life of even one of the components in the charger?"
If the answer is "yes" then do so at your own risk. If the answer is "no", then it is safe to do so and all you face is a longer charge time.
As users with no insight into the design specifications of the charger we have no appreciable method to determine the answer to that question. Therefore I hold the position that I will use a lower powered charger only if forced by circumstances to do so. I will not do so as a 'routine' method of charging my devices.
Ohms Law has not been repealed!
An 85w supply connected to a 60w load will output 60w, somewhat less than it is capable of and no more than the load (your Mac) needs.
The reverse case is that a 60w supply connected to an 85w load will output 60w, less than the load needs (but more than enough to operate) and 60w is the design output so the supply will be just fine.

Windows 8.1 can't use older Brother DCP8040 network scanner drivers

There are a lot of older multifunction centers and scanners that will not scan across a network to a windows 8.1 pc. Upon migration to 8.1 many of us are losing our ability to scan across our networks. I have a lot of Brother DCP8040 machines
out there. Brother refuses to rewrite and support network scanning capabilities under win 8.1 for its older machines. The drivers we now have support network scanning under XP, Vista and win 7... but not under win 8.1. Win 8.1 cannot
find the scanner on the network. I can connect a DCP8040 directly to a win 8.1 pc, load the drivers and both print and scan. I can print across the network, but cannot scan. Again, windows 8.1 cannot find the scanner on the network.
Anyone know of any 3rd party solution where the older scanner drivers can be used under win 8.1? My clients refuse to migrate to win 8.1 as it means they have to trash the older MFC's and make considerable investments in new equipment.
I am reading that the same problems are being experienced with older HP, Epson, and Cannon scanners. Someone has to come up with a generic solution.

Maybe you've been at it too long. That is an answer/comment in typical MS big business mentality. You are dramatizing the whole thing to suit your premise. You are overestimating the time necessary to write the driver and you are understating
the significance/size of the problem and the potential return. Stocks of the Brother DCP8040 are still being sold new and refurnished. Literally millions of other brands and models are being affected. So it is not like these machines wont be around
tomorrow. Its not like the problem is not significant enough to draw attention.
If you've really been around that long, go back and think about when you started. If I had a dime for every solution that was sold as freeware "as is" with no support and the condition "if it works, if works, if not,
sorry". But so many have worked and have provided a solution.
I am not suggesting that anyone should jeopardize their personal or corporate well being or devote their entire work week to solve the problem. There are many out there who will write the thing and put it out there as freeware, collecting
donations, just to see if they can do it or help the situation. There are those who even relax buy doing such things, "solving the problem." I mean, if it takes 5-40 hours work, I would be surprised. I myself can write, but I just don't
understand enough about the workings of a printer driver across a network to do the job.
Again, WHERE ARE YOU? And the proof in my words would be for someone to take the task and do it. Again, HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?

Can't use older versions of Skype anymore?

Alright, so I hate when things update, and usually I just put up with it for new innovative features. I was very content with Skype 5, and the upgrade to 6.0 was frustrating, but I dealt with it. Never at any point during my use of 6 did I prefer it to 5, even as time went on.
Finally, we get to today. I was forced to download Skype 7, and it is the most horrible, buggy, frustrating thing ever. I can barely do anything without it randomly freezing, or spiking in memory usage. I'm using the right version for my computer, my computer is very up to date on hardware, and I've had no software problems with ANY other program to this magnatude. And that's BESIDE the fact that Skype 7 just looks DISGUSTING. The organization of my recent messages and contacts is downright attrocious and I can barely keep my recent replies in check.
The worst part is that I can't downgrade to a better version. After STRUGGLING to find an older version, it just tells me that Skype can't connect. Are you serious? I'm being FORCED to use this useless piece of junk? I've used a LOT of Skype (at least 5 hours a day daily since I got it.) And I think this is the last straw for me. I don't know what to do, I can't use this version, it's terrible.
The question I'm posing in this thread, is how do I use an older version of Skype. If the answer is "I don't." Then I'm uninstalling and never coming back.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have the same problem. This morning my skype decided it was time to update itself. Even though (of course), it shouldn't even check for updates or ask me to update. Or at least these are my settings...
However, this has happened before. But before, when skype updated, I could just uninstall it and install the version that I want to (keeping an exe with the proper version always did the trick). The things is that when I tried to install my older version after uninstalling, skype installer says that servers are down. Meaning that skype has stopped working with these older versions. They are now forbidden to install (even if you find an installer somewhere and OldVersion and OldApps have stopped support for skype).
I am seriously considering forgetting about skype and using an alternative. Some people have mentioned the emoticons and the general layout of the new version that disgusts them. But I will also add that the way we used to send pictures over skype is now changed. And it's horrible! Sending a link with the shared photo is just waste of time. You'd need to open a browser, log in, open the photo and download it just so you can have it on your computer (wtf??). Adding to this is the decrease of its quality and resolution and the missing name of the picture.
Thank you for reading (a potato).

Can I use older versions of unactivated iPhones in the classroom as "clickers" to use with Socrative online?

I'm curious about using unactivated iPhones in the classroom. If I can get about 20 parents to donate older version of iPhones can I use them to record video or take pictures and then plug them into the computer to download the content captured? I also want to know if there is some way to use the wifi feature in the classroom to connect to the internet and use the unactivated devices as a classroom tool for students to enter answers to questions posted in Socrative online.
As I typed that all out I realized that most likely I can not use an iPhone to access wifi and a page online but perhaps I could still use them as handheld cameras to capture moments in the classroom and download the pictures once attached to the usb cord.
Any adviace about getting unactivated iPhones in use at school would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
**I teach middle school Science and want to be more individualized within the content we teach. This would help.. so would 15 iPads with service. If I could only win the lottery I'd be unlimited with what we could do in the classroom. Thanks again.

yeah, you can use deactivated iphones as cameras. when you plug them into the computer, the OS will ask what you want to do with the photos on the device. you will import them and they'll be editable files on the computer after that

Can i use older ram on a newer macbook pro

I have a MACBOOK PRO 15' LATE 2011 2.2 GHz intel core i7 4gb 1333 MHz DDR3 can I use an 8gb 1066 MHz DDR3 on it???
please need help??
Thank you

It may work, but the performance won't be the same and it's risky. If you have checked that everything except the RAM speed meets the requirements of your Mac, that memory should work, but your Mac will use 1066 MHz instead of 1333 MHz.
I recommend you to buy new 1333 MHz memory to guarantee the compatibility and save headaches in the future if the 1066 MHz memory doesn't work

Can I use older brushes in AI CS5.1?

Bought Win 8 PRO upgrade, still can't use older programs!

I bought a new Windows 8 computer and was told that if I wanted to use my older programs that were compatible with XP, Vista, etc., that I would have to upgrade to the Pro version of Win 8. I spent the extra $99.99 and the thing STILL WON'T LET ME RUN
THOSE PROGRAMS! That's so frustrating! I replaced my previous computer -- a year-old DELL that wasn't just a lemon it was a lime, too -- because it was too frustrating. Now I'm frustrated with my month-old computer that I "UPGRADED" the OS to enable
me to continue using my favorite programs (desktop publishing, photo editing, etc.) and it won't let me do so. I'm ready to go APPLE if this issue isn't resolved to my satisfaction! I'm so tired of arguing with computers and trying to make them do what they're
supposed to! A long, solid cement block wall is so VERY tempting right now; a solid introduction to my current and previous (I still have it) computers would be so much fun!
How do I make my Windows 8 PRO computer actually do what I was told it would do: Run the older programs? I'm not asking for the moon, just for Microsoft to keep their word!

Probably that's why the user was told to upgrade, Hyper-V is an optional feature in Windows 8 Pro.
Yeah, probably true. Although previous versions of the desktop OS had Virtual PC. I believe this is probably more an attempt to standardize on the more robust Hyper-V product (and allow better upgrades and experience) and let the older VPC, as
legacy, ride quietly into the sun.
That, and to piss VMware off even further as more people learn of and realize the true power of Hyper-V. >:)

Can I use older actions in the CS6 Beta? Haven't tried yet--but want to

I am loving CS6 Beta, and I hope to be able to load my favorite older actions without hassle. Any advice?

Many of your actions will work fine, however in areas that have been re-designed, you will see issues since the program makes different calls.There are certainly areas of crop that work differently. I'll try to put together a list of areas that will for sure not work and provide them on the FAQ list.

Do I have to have an apple USB power adapter to charge the ipod or can i use one for a htc phone?

Must I have an Apple USB power adaptor to charge an ipod or can I use the power adaptor from my htc cell phone?

Read the cell phone user manual to see if the charger can charge an iPod Nano.
FYI the usb power charger (AC) does not have to come from Apple. I purchased mine from Macmall.com

Any USB adaptor other than PCMCIA can be used in Powerbook G3?

Hi all,
Any USB adaptor other than PCMCIA can be used in Powerbook G3 (as no USB)?
My powerbook G3 is installed with MacOSX 10.2 and i want to access my portable Hard Disk (format under windows platform) . . . is that possible to access like "plug and play" using USB adaptor ?
Many thanks.

white_tiger,
You can use both FireWire and USB CardBus PC cards. CardBus supports both 32-bit and the older PCMCIA 16-bit protocols.
A FireWire PC card is natively supported in all versions of OSX...no drivers to install.
USB 1.1/2.0 PC cards are also natively supported but it gets a little more complicated:
- The older USB 1.1 cards work fine under all versions of OSX.
- The newer USB 2.0 cards also work under all versions of OSX with this caveat: Apple added USB 2.0 support to OSX 10.2.8 and later; if your USB 2.0 card does not have the NEC-based USB2 chipset and you are running 10.2.8 or later, the card will not work properly. USB 2.0 PC cards with the wrong chipset, however, will work properly with OSX up through 10.2.7 but at the slower 1.1 speeds..
A few other points:
- PC cards supply only a minimal amount of bus power, so if you want to connect a portable FW or USB HD, it will need its own power supply.
- A Mac can only read/write to Fat and Fat32 drives; OSX 10.3 and 10.4 can see an NTFS drive but as read-only.
