DOES MAG SAFE POWER ADAPTER WORK THE SAME AS A PORTABLE POWER ADAPTER??

My power adapter broke, so I just purchased a Mag Safe power adapter. My computer works when it is plugged in, but it says that there are no batteries available, and it is not charging.
Is there a difference between the two, and what could be the problem?

What exactly do you mean? There is only one AC adapter for the MacBook and it is a Mag Safe adapter, what are you refering to when you say portable adapter?

    A DVI to VGA adapter provides a conversion from DVI to VGA.
    A DVI to DVI adapter, what is that? If the input is DVI and the output is DVI, what is the need for an adapter?
    Tell us what you are trying to accomplish.

  • HT1229 Can i move the iPhoto folder onto an external HDD? Will it work the same way after moving onto an external HDD? do I then need to have the external connected at all times, even when I don't use iPhoto?

    I have a macbook pro, but the amount of pictures I have now exceeds 500GB
    I want to have all the pictures in iPhoto, so I could see them and edit them in iPhoto.
    Which means... I need the iPhoto file folder in an external HDD to use iPhoto that way.
    Can i move the iPhoto folder onto an external HDD?
    Will it work the same way, as if the iPhoto folder is on the internal drive?

    yes
    yes
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • Oracle Forms 10G(tabbed canvasses not working the same as in Forms 6i)

    Hi everyone,
    I have a form which gets called from another form through a list of value. The called form(second form) has a group of tabbed canvases which get displayed depending on the parameters passed from the first form.
    The Form is working prefectly fine in Forms 6i but when I converted the same form in to forms 10G it does not seem to work the same way. The tabbed canvasses are not getting displayed. I am manually having to press the execute query to get data displayed in the tabbed canvasses. I checked the parameters that are being passed and they are the same as that in Forms 6i.
    Please let me know where my 10G Form is going wrong. Appreciate your help, please send me an email on [email protected]
    Thanks

  • Can a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter do the same job as the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter?

    Can a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter do the same job as the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter?  Meaning, can I connect a DVI screen less than 30 inches?  Why would I buy the expensive product?  Simply because I might have to sometimes work with a small screen, sometimes with a big, and it would save me the trouble and money of buying both.  If the answer is yes, do I have to constantly plug it in USB, even on a smaller screen?

    Hi p,
    Can a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter do the same job as the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter? 
    Yes.
    Meaning, can I connect a DVI screen less than 30 inches?
    Yes.
    Why would I buy the expensive product?
    Don't know which products you're looking at, so can't say.
    Simply because I might have to sometimes work with a small screen, sometimes with a big, and it would save me the trouble and money of buying both.  If the answer is yes, do I have to constantly plug it in USB, even on a smaller screen?
    A dual link is supposed to handle any single link signal, it just has twice the bandwidth.

  • I would like to burn an i-photo album with subtitles to a CD with the photos in the same sequence as they appear in the album and to have the CD work the same on a PC as on the MAC.

         I have created several i-photo albums with subtitles and proceeded to burn them to a CD. The CD burned with the correct subtitles, however, the photos did not appear in the same sequence.  I tried another method and the photos appeared in the proper sequence, however, my subtitles did not appear as in the albums. Is there a method that I can burn an album to a CD with the photos in the same sequence and with the same subtitles as in the album?
         I would also like this CD to work the same on a PC as it does on a MAC.

    sorry but files on a CD have no order - filles are simply bits on the disk - the file viewer used to view them determines the order of viewing - for example using the finder on the Mac you can view files in Alpha order, date created order, date modified order, file size  order, etc, etc, etc
    If you expor tthe files to a desktop folder using the sequetial option then the finder (and probably Windows explorer) would display them in the order you want IF the user views them in alpha order
    Bottom line is that you have no control over how the end user views files - that they make

  • AirPlay Mirroring and Output via Digital Adapter at the same time

    Hello,
    Is it possible to use AirPlay Mirroring to an apple tv and the digital Adapter at the same time?
    We want to get the Screen on a beamer and a tv at the same moment.
    If this isn't possible are there any chances to get AirPlay mirroring working on two Apple TVs at the same time?
    We are using the newest iPad Air
    Greets

    Unfortunately not. One output is supported at a time. But perhaps you can use some sort of an HDMI signal splitter? I've not tried it, and perhaps it won't work at all, but you might try outputing directly to a splitter that then can be connected to both a TV and beamer.

  • My iphone 4 locked up for several hours. i then tried to reset by holding down the home button and power button at the same time for 10 seconds and then the home button for 10 seconds. it is now completely black. what do i do? couldnt restore it in iTunes

    My iphone 4 locked up for several hours. i then tried to reset by holding down the home button and power button at the same time for 10 seconds and then the home button for 10 seconds. it is now completely black. what do i do? couldnt restore it in iTunes. Has anyone had this problem? Help!

    Same thing happened to me today. I wasn't even using the phone for the past 6 hours and suddenly I can't connect to the internet, none of my internet apps would work - nothing. I tried to call AT&T from the iphone and it locked up - couldn't turn it off, change to the home screen - nada - brick.
    Did the Home/Power button thing and that worked but this I've only had this phone for about 4 weeks and it's locked up more times than my 3GS did the whole two years I had it! Ridiculous

  • Scale??  Does decreasing a clips scale have the same effect on quality as..

    Does decreasing a clips scale have the same effect on quality as increasing? So for example if i lower the scale to 90 is the compression that takes place as bad for image quality as increasing an image? or is it better? thanks kellam

    Does decreasing a clips scale have the same effect on

    scale to 90 is the compression that takes place as

    it better? thanks kellam
    Well, taking the example you mentioned, if you decrease or increase the size of the image, it doesn't have to affect the original quality of your media. Of course, if you increase the image size, the quality will be "poor" in the sense that you are zooming to the details of your image. Depending on the compression you are working on, the more compression have (DV as lowest), the more decreasing on the sharpness will happen in the increasing of the picture.
    Increasing doesn't gets better than decreasing.
    Sometimes I work with photos in FCP, and to prevent this loss, I save the photo in 1440x960 to keep the most definition that a picture can give me, when the zooming in time would arrive, that Image Size covers me up on keeping a good quality in my Final result, is simply the double of the standard.
    Obviusly, decreasing does not affect so much in quality.
    Hope this helps

    I came home and attempted to power on my iPad2. I can see the backlight but nothing on the screen. When I try to reset by pushing the off button and the power button at the same time I can sometimes see the characters briefly but the screen has lines. Can someone tell me if there is anything else I can do before a trip to the repair shop?
    Will

    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Does Stratus/RTMFP support P2P behind the same NAT/Router?

    Does Stratus/RTMFP support peers behind the same NAT/Router?
    (such that both peers have the same public IP address)
    That is: if two computers (each running Flash) are behind the same NAT, and connect to Stratus to get peerID;
    do we expect they can connect p2p?
    Or will each one get/see just the public IP address:port of the other?
    My initial tests indicate that this scenario fails [ICMP Destination Unreachable (port unreachable)]
    Is this just a limitation of my local router? does this work for others?
    Does Status expect the local router to detect/decode/resolve this situation?
    If the solution requires 10.1 groups, is there support to detect/diagnose when/if the peer is on the same LAN?

    Thanks for the info, sounds like RTMFP supports this, and hopefully the AFP code does the right thing.
    [so, officially, the original question is answered]
    Note: In one instance, i'm running two browsers on the same host,
    so even the inner/LAN addresses would be the same. Therefore, if A sends to B's inner/LAN address,
    the [Windows] OS network layer *should* recognize that and 'hairpin' without leaving the host, or crossing the firewall.
    (I say "should" because Unix generally does that, but I'll have to check to see about Windoze).
    [And such packets are probably invisible to Wireshark also, so how do i verify what's happening?
    oh sure, just reconfigure to boot Linux... ]
    So glad you explained that the client tries all three pathways; if it works as you say,
    then I can probably ignore the ICMP error from the local router (or, as you say, teach it to do the hairpin).
    Can you confirm that P2P will work between browsers (say Chrome to Firefox) on a single Windows host?
    [I really want to know if I'm failing because of network configuration or application code/error;
    at this point, I am able to correctly exchange the peerIds, and start the NetSteam.play,
    but the two sides do not appear to be exchanging audio/video]
