HT1338 Power cable for Macbook not working / Apple Care discount?

My power cable for my Macbook stopped working. I went to the bookstore at my school and at first they told me I could get a discount on a new one ($29 instead of $79) because I have Apple Care. Then they told me that was a mistake and I have to pay full price even though I have Apple Care... True/false????

It appears your Macbook is at least 2 years old. If you have the extended warranty and there is no physicla damage to your power adapter, then you "might" be eligible for a free replacement.
Have you tried replacing the duckhead adapter yet? That's the part that normally fails first.

  • HT1343 Power button – for Standby not working anymore

    Power button – OS X Mavericks
    Tap to power on. Once powered on, tap to wake or sleep.
    This shortcut is not working after update anymore. My system is 10.9.2 . is it possible to define the power button pressed shortly to standby like it was before?

    It was change because laptop owners couldn't keep from accidentally hitting the power button when reaching for the delete key.
    Press and hold for about 2 seconds to get sleep.
    Press and hold for about 4-5 seconds for dialog box.
    Press and hold for about 10 seconds to force shutdown.

    Are you connecting your iPhone directly to your PC or to a USB hub?

  • I have bought  three iPhone 6  one for me and one each for my two kids  we have just done the update iOS 8.01 now all phone  do not connect to service provider and touch id is not working ,  APPLE HELP !!!!

    i phones  updated iso 8.01 all three phones  will not connect to service provider and touch id
    will not work  APPLE HELP !!!!!!!!!
    anyone know  i fix as  i have spent over 2000 pound on three phones that won't work
    all three where working fine until the 8.01 update

    Apple just pulled the update because it is a major fubar! You will have to rollback your iPhone to the base iOS 8 using iTunes and Apple needs to seriously test its patches!
    Update:
    Simply connect your phone to iTunes and back up your data. Then, click the “Restore iPhone” button and follow the on-screen instructions. It’s a huge pain, but at least it’s better than having your shiny new iPhone turned into a big expensive iPod touch.

  • Does anybody knows where can i buy a replacement AC power cable for my cinema display 27"?

    Does anybody knows where can i buy a replacement AC power cable for my cinema display 27"?

    It may not be the same molded plug but I would think any normal 3-prong computer power cable should work.
    How about this one?
    922-6529 Power Cord - Apple Cinema Display
    I've always had the theory that if you put two computer power cords in a drawer they will breed and you'll end up with a lot more!   My parts drawer is always full of them.  They like to knot up by themselves as well!  Maybe that's how they breed.

    May I use the power adaptor for Macbook pro into Macbook Air?

    Yes.  You can use one of a higher wattage, just not a lower wattage.

  • I need a power adaptor for my 1st gen Apple Cinema Display

    I just moved, and I lost the power cable to my first generation Apple Cinema Display (20" I think). It looked like the old powerbook cable, kind of a blue wheel thing-a-ma-bob. Any ideas? It seems as if Apple only sells the accessories for products they are now selling this week.

    This is the usual solution for an ADC display that does not have an AC power cord to be used with a Mac that has only a DVI output. This device adds up to 4 Amps of power at about 25 Volts to power the display:

    There are also some cruder versions that use the external Power supply brick "borrowed" from a G4 Cube.

    All you need is a plug adaptor, if required. Apple sells an adapter kit:

  • HT2188 iPad 1 requested activation after being low on power. Activation does not work.

    Hi
    My iPad 1 requested activation after being low on power. Activation does not work so I have tried to restore it from iTunes.  this progresses but after rebooting, it gets to the activation process for a few minutes and re-boots again - in a loop now. on ios6, not 7. help please?
    I also looked at trying to do a manual install of firmware via iTunes but I do not know the version of firmware or how to find it out - so really stuck!
    Thanks

    I pulled my unit out of the dock - powered up and the display goes blank (if you look carefully you can see the bios boot screen, then black, then you can see the backlight turn off.
    I plugged in the USB monitor and boom - I could log in.
    Once Logged in I could see that windows still thinks it has some of the monitors from the dock, and the internal display is set to disable.
    So the issue is the detection / setup of monitors in/out of the dock.
    I've done about all I can do for dubugging, I hope lenovo can pick up from here. if not I'll have to call lenovo support.

  • Ipad app icons shaking but won't delete, home button does not work, power off switch does not work

    I just got a new ipad air and have started to add apps to it.  I have added a couple of free apps which I have also deleted (moved to icloud).  I have also a couple of apps (free & purchased) which I have on it now.
    Now my problem:
    I tried to remove another free app.  I press and hold the icon.  All app icons shake and display the 'x' for removing, but the 'x' for does not work on any of the icons.  Also, after this, the home button does not work as the icons keep shaking even while I am pressing the button.  And the power off switch on the side of the device does not work either.  If I close the smart cover and reopen it shows the home display and all the icons still shaking (instead of showing the passcode sign-in display).  Fortunately (well, fortune in the misfortune) if I press the home button and off switch a couple times each and close the smart cover and wait, the device awakes normally.  Well, normally until I try to remove any app.
    So what do I need to do to fix this?
    Thanx
    Brian

    Glad it worked. Anytime your iPad acts up, the reboot/reset is a common first thing to try. And it clears up many issues and glitches.
    enjoy your new toy

  • ICloud for pc not working tried everything

    iCloud for pc not working tried everything ( uninstall - reinstall - delete files - old versions ) nothing helps it just downloads a couple of photos and off again my iPhone uploads perfectly as all the pics goes to the iPad seamlessly, Please Help i'm on windows 8.1 x64, Thanks

    I think that the card reader may in fact be defective, but it just doesn't make sense if I have already used it fine before. I've tried everything on this Apple support page, thank you though.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • What's the power Adapter for Macbook pro 13inch Mid 2012

    What's the power Adapter for Macbook pro 13inch Mid 2012 with core i-7, 2.9ghz, 8Gb ram?
    AFAIK it should be a 60wat Megasafe power adapter.
    But mine shipped with a 45Watt Megasafe. I got it as a Gift from my friend.
    Thanks in Advance.

    This should be my Adapter right?
    Yes.
    There is a drawback in addition to taking a longer time to charge up your MBP.  In unusual instances when using your MBP with power adapter attached, and running a very heavy load on the CPU/GPU, the MBP will require additional electrical resources in addition to what the power adapter can provide.  It will then draw upon the battery.  What this means is that using a 45 watt adapter, these conditions are more likely to occur.
    Using a 45 watt adapter should not harm your MBP as such.
