Has anyone felt static shock through their earbuds when plugged into an airplane AC adapter using an Apple MacBook Pro with the aluminum shell?

I was flying home on an American Airlines 737.  I was watching a movie and my battery started to get low so I plugged my AC adapter into the underseat adapters.  This place had the standard 120 volt type plug not the 12 volt automobile type adapter.  As soon as I did I felt somthing sharp or shocking on my ears.  As it turns out when plugged I could feel static shock when any of the small metal portions of my earbud touched my ear and I could also feel static on the aluminum shell when I lightly rubbed my hand over it.  The flight attendant could feel the same thing.
Has anyone else experieinced this?

Never. Just flew United 737 and was plugged in all the way. If that happened to me I would have disconnected from the power outlet. Probably a bad ground. Could you have tried the other outlet in the row?

    i can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software - neihter version 6 or 7 - since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

    My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
    Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
    And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
    Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    or http://www.apple.com/contact/
    We are just end users here helping other end users.
    Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
    Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
    Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
    Good luck!

  • I just bought a new apple MacBook Pro with retina and it has froze on me twice today. Anybody know why this is happening?

    I just bought myself a brand new apple MacBook Pro yesterday. Today while using it it has froze on me twice for no apparent reason. Does anyone know why this is happening?

    Or have it replaced.  Unless you've added a bunch of strange stuff, this shouldn't happen to a brand new one.   Let your local Apple Store get you going with a MBP that works perfectly.

  • Anyone else having multiple issues with their Macbook Pro with the Lion Update?

    I had beachballing and the wifi will not turn on. HELP

    Unfortunately, I think that the fact that you mentioned the presence of anti-virus software has dragged this discussion a bit off course. As you say that WebRoot has been installed for a year, while the problem just started recently (and not right after upgrading to Mavericks), I don't believe that the anti-virus software has anything to do with it.
    As for what the problem might be, my best guess for something with such a sudden and unexplainable onset is a dying hard drive. Do you have backups of your data? If not, that could become a very serious problem. First priority needs to be figuring out a way to back up your data.
    Once your data is backed up, check the hard drive's SMART status:
    If it checks out fine (ie, says "Verified"), try repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility.

  • Has anyone felt the heat from their monitor?

    I have a Penryn 2.8 GHz 24" iMac and I park my face fairly close to the screen (about 12 inches (30.5 cm) and I can feel the heat of the screen.
    I took temperature readings with a lab thermometer on 9 points distributed on a grid across the screen and it averages about 103 degrees F(39.4 C), ranging from 101 F (38.3 C) to 107 F (41.6 C). These measurements were taken while the computer was idle with just the screen saver running and the brightness at maximum.
    Has anyone felt the heat of their screen like this? Has anyone ever tried to measure it?
    Where does all the heat come from, is it all derived from the backlight or from the computer itself (107 is from the upper left and the 101 is from the lower right)?

    You might be interested in running SMCFanCOntrol to keep your temps down. I'd recommend keeping the HD under 50C and the Power Supply under 60C.

  • TC XBox360 wireless incompatibility: Has anyone tried static IP?

    Hi all,
    I've been reading the XBox XBox360 wireless incompatibility for a couple of days now. I'm like 5 hrs from a decision on whether to pick up the TC or AEBS and naturally have a preference of the TC for disk.
    Everyone has tried with various security (and non-security) settings and I've not heard of it working wirelessly. But has anyone a static IP on the XBox360? Does that work? I couldn't find anyone who's tried that in the forums (or I didn't look hard enough).
    Cheers

    The problem that everyone is having is using the TC as the primary router within a house and connecting the xbox 360 to if via wifi. The two do not get on!!!! From what I can gather you have another router plugged into a lan port on the back of the TC, thus you Xbox 360 can connect via wifi through this router, like this
    Xbox - Wifi - Other Router - Cat5 Cable - Tc - Internet
    Is that your setup or am I totally wrong???

  • Has anyone been unable to restore their iPad after attempting to upgrade to ios5? error 1

    Has anyone been unable to restore their iPad after attempting to upgrade to ios5? I get an unknown error 1 message. Thanks.

    I have the same problem. Something happened during the download and froze iTunes. After spending three days searching these forums with the dead iPad, the only thing I got to work was to try downloading iOS 5 using my sons computer. This worked. However I cannot now get my computer's iTunes to sync with my iPad.. It contains the same error message (1602) and has the same problem as before. It is not an antivirus problem. I need some help too

    Has anyone tried Kensington RAM in their Mac Pro? I found this ram and that is far cheaper than OWC or apple.

    NewEgg: " Memory returns allowed for 30 days, subject to 15 percent re-stocking fee. "
    So YOU are the expert about which are the correct modules. a mistake costs you 15 percent plus shipping.
    I prefer to do business with mac-centric vendor who lend me their expertise and tell me what memories work in my Mac, "Guaranteed or your money back."
    OWC is one that does business that way.
    Data Memory Systems does as well, and that is the outfit I use.
    The last 1333 8GB module like these I bought from them came with a large flat heatsink installed. I put it in my Server. The price has fallen a bit since then, and now they are asking US$78, but "Guaranteed."

    Dear All Has anyone found a break through with the issue of Connect to itunes to use push notifications

    Did you get any help on this? From what I can see from surfing this site, it's a BUG that no one has offered a solution to. It sometimes happens after a 'reset' and going to ITunes does not offer a way to 'set up push notifications'.

    After trying lots I found now in 'Airport Utility is 'unable to detect any airport wireless devises.....'
    There is no provider to be seen in airport utility and only 'rescan' is an option with no results...
    even so I am connected and can browse the net receive mail etc. and the outgoing 'mail server' is set to the internet provider I am connected to.
    Can you enlighten me what can I do I need to use my e-mail program urgently !!!
    Thanks for your help

    I'm not sure what "IPS wireless" is, but unless you have an Apple Wi-Fi base station (such as a Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme, or AirPort Express), AirPort Utility won't see anything.
    You might try defining a new SMTP server to see if that will work any better.

    Is the MBP properly grounded?  Are you using the three prong plug?  If not, do so and your problems may disappear.  If not, do what SwankPeRFection suggests.

  • Is anyone else having trouble seeing their screens when you are outside?

    Is anyone else having trouble seeing their screens when you are outside?

    When is sunlight, absolutely. Not a problem with the Droid Ultra but rather all phones.
    You ever see the commercial about the Nook devices. The have a special screen to reduce glare allowing you to see your screen in sunlight.
    As far as I know, companies have not implemented this on anycell phone.
    There are after market anti-glare screen protectors
    Check Amazon or eBay, they should be relatively inexpensive.
    Good Luck
