I'm going to Africa with my macbook and need to know a few things?

Hello,
I'm off to Africa on friday.
1) I have just received an email saying that plugging my laptop into their electricity may cause damage to it due to power surges? Is there any way I can stop this happening?
2) I need find a dust proof very good case for my macbook pro 15 without retina if anybody knows any they can recommend?
3) Are there any other ways of charging my laptop? E.g. solar or a power pack is available? Any suggestions would be fabulous from anyone who is very good with laptops.
Thank you and thank you for your time answering this question
Alicia:)

for a case, if you are planning for rough treatment, dust, water...
Look at the Pelican line.

This is ne of many they offer, this is brand most TV crews use. You can call them they have a ton of cases to offer, it depends on how it is going to used.
Something like this for power, this is a grey area to recommend as it depends on what the voltage supply is doig, the heavier duty, the more $$$
The solar charger you will have to do some research, I could,nt find anything that looked promising.
Have a safe trip

    Connect it to your computer, open the iTunes app and restore the iPad to the factory settings. Do not sync the iPad after you have restored it.

  • How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

  • I finally found out my problem with my macbook and 32inch lcd

    So I dont know if you have read but i have been having a little problem with my macbook and my 32inch lcd. The problem that I have been having is when it is hooked up threw the dvi to vga going into my t.v is that when i were to close the macbook it would goto sleep. Well i have done many things to prevent this from happening and nothing worked. I have the new apple wireless keyboard and mouse. After a few post I was told to do many things like click the mouse which I had already tried about 1.1 million times. Well after I was sick of it all I just got so mad at the whole situation. I tried one last time clicking and holding the mouse button down it stayed on. I thought I was dreaming this so I then tried it again and it worked. I was having the problem of closing the macbook then waking it back upp with the mouse and the my screen which would be the 32inch lcd would just flicker a few times then say no imput. I no longer have this problem

    problem solved

    I seem to have 2 iCloud accounts with different names - a free storage that came with my MacBook and one I used when I bought some iCloud space. How can I cancel the free account? Because of this I can't access iMatch and the ICloud account I paid for on my MacBook
    Any ideas cos its frustrating that I can't access something I paid for!

    Sign out of the account you do not wish to use, sign into the one that you do wish to use.

  • I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

  • Recent software upgrade has changed the way my iPhone syncs with my macbook, and diary items no longer upload from my iPhone. I've tried a to fix it and seem to have made things worse. What is the best way to get the two devices in sync ?

    Recent software upgrades has changed the way my iPhone syncs with my macbook and items entered on my iPhone are no longer uploaded to my macbook. I've tried to fix it and seem to have made things worse, my iPhone now has a long list of calanders that I don't want and can't delete and nothing is uploading to my macbook.

    You need to look at Mac's iTunes, check  > System Preferences > iCloud.
    If you use iCloud for Calendar, Contacts then turn off those items in iTunes, Info tab with your iPhone connected and selected.

    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

    % Looks like the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor is still a POS, and still beta. Yes your card will work with 7. Most are using this,

  • Why is photostream not working together with my macbook and iphone?

    Photostream is not working togther with my macbook and iphone. How can I sync it?

    Has it ever worked?
    If you recently turned on photo stream on the mac and iphone, then (on the iphone) only new photos are included in photo stream, old ones are not.
    But syncing to your mac (if the photos originate from the iphone) is critical.  That's how you store photos (they can easily disappear on the iphone due to many "issues" that can occur, and relying on an icloud backup is not safe - to many users have lost some/all their photos when doing a restore.
    So be sure to begin by doing a sync to the mac using itunes/iphoto with a USB cable. 

  • I can pair my iPhone 4 with my MacBook and my Macbook Pro but they will not connect. My iPhone keeps telling me it does not support this even with bluetooth turned on.The devices section keeps searching all the time

    I can pair my iPhone 4 with my MacBook and my Macbook Pro but they will not connect. My iPhone keeps telling me it does not support this even with bluetooth turned on.The devices section keeps searching all the time. Is this an antenna problem? Or something else ?

    Your iphone is right, it is not supported. The iphone's bluetooth protocols do not include file transfer, but are intendes only for headsets, stereo headphones, cars, and keyboards.

  • How can I make my Apple tv remote stop interacting with my MacBook and my iMac? Everytime I press the reote, the sound will go up or down on my computers or they will wake up.

    How can I make my Apple tv remote stop interacting with my MacBook and my iMac? Everytime I press the reote, the sound will go up or down on my computers or they will wake up.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences/Security/General)
    If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
    To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)
