I have two power cords, they look slightly different.  Are they interchange

I have a power cord from my MacBook Pro and from my MacBook. The male plug is slightly different between the two, one attaches on the side of the wire, the other is more of a 'T' on the end of the wire. Are these interchangeable?

This illustrated article should sort it out:

The links in the chart are part numbers, which should be on the "brick" part of the adaptor.

    To add to what others have said, the three prong plug allows the charger to be grounded, the two prong plug that can plug into the three prong cord assembly does not. There are situations (such as this) in which Apple advises grounding the power adapter to solve problems.

  • Since this morning all text in firefox look slightly different - I think it still uses the same font, but renders it differently.

    Since this morning all text in firefox looks slightly different - I think it still uses the same font, but renders it differently!? I would like to have it changed back to what it was. Any help is welcome.
    Some facts:
    - Happens only in Firefox (IE & Chrome still look the same)
    - Already did a reset to defaults
    I'm using the latest version of Firefox
    Screenshot can be found here: [http://www.ka-pow.net/media/images/firefoxissue.jpg link text]

    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View/Beeld > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
    Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
    Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "Tools/Extra > Options" if the menu bar is hidden.

  • Question - Y do my fonts look slightly different when publish site to .mac?

    I've created a website on iWeb but when i publish it and view it in safari the fonts look slightly different. It's hard to explain but they basically just look worse. Can anyone let me know why this might be and how i could fix this problem. Thanks in advance.

    Quit iWeb, go to Home Folder/Library/Preferences and delete the file com.apple.iWeb.plist.
    Restart your Mac, launch iWeb and republish.
    You should really convert any text done in "copperplate" to an image. Otherwise it will be converted to an (ugly) alternative on any computer that doesn't have this font installed.

  • My macbook pro crashed and the hard drive was replaced. How do I restore my backup pre- 9.6 iphoto library to the 9.6.1 iphoto library? They look completely different.

    My macbook pro crashed and the hard drive was replaced. How do I restore my backup pre- 9.6 iphoto library to the 9.6.1 iphoto library? They look completely different. When I look at my backed-up iphoto library folder I see lots of files and folders: ALbumData.xml, Attachments folder, etc. The 9.6.1 iphoto library doesn't appear to be a folder at all. Help!

    iPhoto 6 and earlier libraries were regular folders with the kind of files your reporting.  With the advent of iPhoto 7 the library folder was changed to a package similar to the application packages but have essentially the same files and folders inside.  There's no reason to have access to the inside of the iPhoto Library so Apple changed them to packages.
    Do you have a backup copy of the iPhoto Library from before the HD crash.  If so restore it to the Pictures folder in your Home folder.  If you previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 or earlier download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before trying to open it with iPhoto 9.6.1.

  • Pictures look slightly different in Photoshop CC compared to windows Photoviewer (lighter)

    Hi there,
    I purchased PS CC last week, before I worked with PS CS3.
    From the moment I started using CC I noticed that my photos look slightly different in Photoshop CC compared to windows Photoviewer or in PS CS3.
    They look slightly lighter, which makes it hard to adjust the correct levels of contrast etc
    Is there a way to sync the view inside CC to look the same as in other programs?
    Marcel

    Thanks for your reaction!
    Inside Photoshop CC, the settings are like this:
    In Photoshop CS3 it's set to 'North america general purpose 2...
    This makes me think of the following question: After i install a default windows 7 64 bit in dutch and a default Adobe PS CC, do I need to change anything in the default color settings in order to allign the different programs?

  • Since I've updated my iPad to iOS 6 it's running a lot slower especially when I scroll up and down and takes ages to load up on the App Store I know they got glitches but are they gonna be sorting this out as well ?

    Since I've updated my iPad to iOS 6 it's running a lot slower especially when I scroll up and down and takes ages to load up on the App Store I know they got glitches but are they gonna be sorting this out as well ?

    Hi!
    I am also having issues with the device since updating to IOs 6. The time between clicking an icon, i.e. a picture, and the load of that picture takes longer enough to notice it. It did not happen before the update.
    I am also having problems with some applications, specially the Facebook application. When I click on my picture in the right bar of the app, it promps a window that ask me for share my location, etc.. and get freeze there.
    Regarding reseting the device, already done. It did not helped.
    Also, SIRI is very nice, but sometimes it stop working and I have to re-start the device in order to being able to use SIRI again. When it happens, it looks like SIRI is sending the information, but does not do anything after.
    It is understandable that they require some time to get the new IOs version working properly, but I dont like to be a Beta tester.

  • One Macbook, two power cords?

    The two-pronged power cord fits the "magnetic" part of the cable nicely. It sparks with wall connections, though.
    But my new Macbook also came with another cable; it has a three-way "male" connection on one end, with what looks like a small, tubular barrel on the other. How exactly does this second cable fit? Do I still use my "magnetic" cable? Why bother having a thick, three-way cable when my two-way "magnetic" one is thinner and smaller?
    I can't figure how the second cable would fit anything. I've not yet seen any pictures.
    Thanks!

    The extension adapter has two purposes. It gives you more reach when you aren't close enough to a wall outlet using the two prong adapter. It also gives you a good ground that you don't have with the two prong adapter.

  • Getting really frustrated! I bought Photoshop 7, upgaded to CS2 then upgraded to CS3, now I have had computer problems and looks like both are now gone, they were not de-installed. I have limited bandwidth (I live int he country) and need a new box versio

    I bought Photoshop 7, upgraded to CS2 then upgraded to CS3.  I live in the country and have limited bandwidth for my internet, therefore, the cloud will not work and I must have a box version. In Jan Best Buy did work on my laptop and did not de-install CS3, now my desktop has died and believe CS3 on it is also gone. I have the serial numbers and can not find how to contact Adobe.
    I only use it for photography and do not want CS6, so I need help, can anyone help me. Thanks a million.

    Why on Earth are you getting frustrated?  ?? !!  
    You don't even need to "contact Adobe", unless you need to activate that old deleted version.  You are entitled to two activations.
    Just download the CS3 trial version and input your serial numbers (the installer might prompt you for the previous serial number since your CS3 probably has an update s/n).
    Download CS3 products  <=== click on link
    Anytime you want to look for something on the Adobe site, just do a Google search and add "site:adobe.com" (without the quotes) at the end of the string of keywords, for instance, this what to type in Google to find the CS3 downloads:
    download Photoshop cs3 site:adobe.com
    Just change "CS3" for whatever version you want.
    Using the Adobe web site search function is futile.
    Now, if you had two activations already, just call customer service and they will deactivate one or both for you—after quickly verifying your registration..  No big deal.
    Click on the link below, and after that click on "Still need Help? Contact us."
    Then on the next page, click Chat
    There is also a phone option.

  • I seem to have two email accounts with my service provider and they are receiving the same email as far as I can see.  Can I delete one and feel safe that I am receiving all of my email.

    I have three separate email accounts showing up in my Mail program on my MacBook Pro.  Two of them are my local email provider one showing up as SaskTel Email and the other showing up as sasktel.net.  The third one is ICloud.  Can I delete one of the SaskTel ones, as they seem to get the same mail.

    What do you tell your friends to use to send you email?
    Are they going to the same "Incoming Mail Server", logging in with the same "User Name" ? If so, they are two instances of the same account, and one can certainly be deleted with impunity.
    This detailed information is in

  • Can I have two enterprise emails accounts on my ipad if they both use MDM?

    I work for one company, and we contract to another.  As such I have two email accounts, two calendars, etc....
    Until recently this worked well with everything on my ipad,but recently my company upgraded their security to also use MDM, so when I try to install. The profile it fails since it recognises that the other exists.
    I've uninstalled both and started again, and it seems to only allow me to have one.
    Thoughts, help?....this is a big backwards step for me.

    Can I have two iCloud ID's on my iPad? Both my husband an I have accounts and share the pad
    Yes, you can have multiple iCloud accounts on the iPad but only one account will be the primary with all iCloud info.
    The other account will only use some of the iCloud info.
    Set > Mail, Contact, Calendars > Add account.
    Add the other iCloud account and you can see what will be there.

  • Can we have two clusters in same domain running different versions of WLS

    I have not tested this yet but was looking for help from people who might have done this already.. Is it possible to have this scenario:
              create two independent clusters, say C1 and C2 as part of a single domain D. C1 has 2 managed servers running WLS8.1 and C2 has 2 managed servers running WLS7.0
              Can this be done?
              Thanks,
              Raghu

    It is definetely inviting for trouble.
              We can have two clusters from same version of weblogic server within a domain.
              If we have a WLS8.1 domain, the managed servers that we create from that domain should be from WLS8.1.
              As far I remember, its not a supported configuration to have different versions(major versions) of Admin and managed servers.

  • I have two ipads, can i register 2 different passwords

    CAN I REGISTER DIFFERENT ID AND PASSWORD FOR MY OTHER IPAD ?
    THIS IS THE SCENARIO :
    I have two ipad minis. First one i got last December, 2nd one i got just a month ago.
    I plan to let husband use the 2nd ipad, but his game was on my  original ipad. he is on a certain level on the game.
    I chose restore from old ipad when i  opened the 2nd ipad and transfered the contents including his game. i turned off the email so my emails wont get into his ipad which he might accidentally delete message.
    Question : can i change my id and password so it will be different from his without affecting all other apps and email accounts. Ill be the one to change because im afraid if he be the one to change, the level of the game he is playing on his new ipad will be lost since the whole game was transferred from my current ipad.
                      or if he change on his side, what will happen to my ipad applications, photos, emails.
    thank you very much

    It is still not possible to have two credit cards with your iTunes store account. I've just had a discussion with an Apple representative who suggested I give feedback to Apple about this. The more we are, Apple might listen to us in the end.
    This is the link
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    Please feel free to use or modify what I wrote there:
    I’m surprised as are many other people who have the same issue (can see this in many forum threads) that Apple don’t give us the possibility to have at least 2 credit cards with one AppleID/account like most other vendors do (even much smaller than Apple). This certainly forces people to buy some stuff elsewhere that they otherwise would have purchased from Apple (for example books) or restrain from buying things they would have bought if they had a choice to use a second Credit Card.
    Not having this option puts me in a precarious situation since it would not be OK to buy just anything with the Credit Card that is tied to my business (and in many cases like mine the business is only one person, the VAT No being the same as my social security No).
    Sole traders need an option too.

  • HT1630 I have just bought my MacBook Pro 15" Retina new this week. When storing the charger I wrapped it as described on the support page, but now I've noticed that in some places in the power cord (charger to MacBook) there are small lumps.

    It looks like the strains are unwrapping in its isolating sleeve. By twisting the cord you can get the lump out, but when you then want to store it and wrap it around the charger the lumps come back because the cable is twisted in an other direction.

    IMHO the worst way to store, transport, any Mac notebook charger is to wrap the cord around the transformer block as described on the Apple website and documentation. This only leads to the cord braking and as you have noticed some lumps.
    I wrap the cord around my hand loosely in big loops never putting any strain on either end of it. I also let the cord hang loose before I start wrapping it around my hand. This allows the cord to twist naturally as I wrap. When un-wrapping I also hold it up to let all the twists work there way out. This has worked for me with all the AC adapters for Mac computers I've owned.

  • What to do when you have a power outage and my iphoto photos are gone

    I was workng in iPhoto on a photo book when the power went off.  After the power came back on, I turned on my computer and returned to my project in iPhoto, and every photo was gone....disappeared.  It looked like I just installed iPhoto with nothing in the events or photos.  What do i do???
    My photos are backed up, but the book does not back up.  So, that means I have to start my book from scratch and import the photos again!!  I cannot get back all the hours I've worked on this project. 
    Question:  Is there a way to retrieve my photos and all my previous projects in iPhoto?
    --Elaine

    For iPhoto v7
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new iPhoto 08 library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
