I need to buy new adaptor, any ideas

I tripped over my power cable today and snapped the cable right off the power brick. I know I should have been more careful, hindsight is always 20/20. Anyways, does anyone know of good places to buy new power supplies for a G3 Ibook?

There are third party choices for an adapter:
MCE Technologies

MacAlly adapter at Amazon.com
adapter at Other World Computing
Apple's is the only one with the glowing ring to indicate charging status, though, and can be found here:
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=M89 43LL/A
I believe the one from Other World Computing is one of the sturdiest of the lot. The MacAlly adapter's cord is a bit flimsier than the one from Other World Computing, but both are working fine on our iBooks. We haven't tried the pricier ones.
It may be of some consolation that at least your adapter tip didn't break off in the computer. That's a much more complicated (and expensive) problem.

    Did you already try to reset the sync history?
    If you find that some of your data syncs to your device but you see an unexpected number of changes or modifications, you may need to reset your sync history. This causes iTunes to prompt to Merge or Replace information on the device when you next attempt to sync your information. To reset your Sync History:
    Open iTunes.
    From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Devices tab.
    Click the Reset Sync History button.

  • Do I need to buy new programs for osx lion?

    Do I need to buy new programs for osx lion?

    First you need to make sure you have a supported machine, and all the current updates (Core 2 Duo, i3/5/7 and 10.6.8.)
    If you are using Microsoft Office 2004/8, then you will need to buy Office 2011. If you are using older versions of Adobe Photoshop before CS3 that are PPC only, then you will need to buy a newer Adobe CS.
    If you are running iWork 08, it will work, but there will be no support for full screen unless you have 09 version. If you use Apple software like Final Cut or Logic Studio, you will also need the latest versions to use full screen support.
    Basically, if you have any software installed that is more than 2 years old, you need to check if it is Intel, PPC or Universal. Because anthing that is listed as PPC will not work at all. And most Apple apps older than 2 years do not have any support for the new Full Screen or Versions features.
    If you want to see if you have any PPC apps that are not supported at all, simply click the Apple icon at the top, click about this Mac, then click more info. System Profiler will open, on the left side click on "Applications" and you will see a list of every installed app. The far right column will tell you KIND, Intel, Universal or PPC. Anything in the list that says PPC will not work after installing Lion.

  • I want to install os x lion but the app store doesn't offer a 'buy' option. Any ideas ?

    I want to install os x lion but the app store doesn't offer a 'buy' option. Any ideas ?

    Do you see a price next to Lion ($29.99 or local equivalent)? Click that to purchase and download it. You'll have to sign in if you're not already.
    Also, your profile is wrong if you don't already have Lion (which IS 10.7).

    Hi, it sounds like you are running into a known issue with a mobile app using the spark textinput (assuming its mobile as you are referring to piping and pushing views)

    Of this I'm positive: There will be no upgrades for InDesign CS6 (except if there were a security issue). Adobe never adds updates to an earlier version. The current version is InDesign CC. InDesign CS6 will always be as it is now.
    What you may have read is that Adobe says it will keep selling InDesign CS6 for the forseeable future.

  • I've imported some midi tracks, used the mixer to set pan, volume etc, but when I stop playback and restart it sets every midi track back to '0'. I've been using LE for years, this is a new one, any ideas?

    Hi,
    that's because Logic reads the volume information out of the imported MIDI tracks and sets the volume fader according to this information. The MIDI information overrides volume settings you have done, so you have to identify the MIDI events that contain volume (or expression or pan or whatever) information and delete them. You can use the event list editor for this.

    As Niel states you can use your current iWorks.
    If you want the latest version you will need to purchase the componets in the Mac App Store.

  • When i add my existing email account all saved email foward to my iphone and i dont want that to happen, i just want new emails, any ideas?

    when i added my email account it brings up all emails i have saved and i only want to view new emails  any ideas?

    This is how I fixed it on my new iPhone 5S. Using the standard yahoo setting on my phone.
    You will have to access  "managing your app passwords" on your account profile for yahoo. Generate password for your app. For example: "My iPhone 5S'
    Go to your Iphone and set up your yahoo mail account on your phone the normal way and you have to use the generated password.  instead of the yahoo account password.

    PhoneView will allow you to copy your information to your MacBook.  Before you connect your phone to your MacBook be sure to launch iTunes, go to Preferences>Devices and check the box to Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing.  If you don't, iTunes will initiate a sync wipe your phone.  You need to copy your content off your phone/ipad and rebuild your iTunes library before syncing.

  • When closing 2 windows(with multiple tabs each), system restore does not properly restore the second window's tabs. Is this a bug in the new update/any ideas to fix?

    I regularly use 2 windows with multiple tabs each and session restore would work to get them all back, but after this latest update the second window does not restore properly, with the first tab not visible on top(only in drop down menu) and the add a tab button now on the left(instead of right). The add a tab button is not really concerning other than it indicates other problems with the tabs on tab of the 2nd window. Not having the 1st tab visible is frustrating, because I can not move it or as easily navigate. Also, the tabs on top of the 2nd window that are visible no longer have the "x" to close visible unless that tab is selected. I'm assuming this is a problem with the new release/update, since this is the first time I've ever encountered the problem, and I've shut down and restored Firefox a few times to make sure this was a recurring problem and not a one-time deal. Any ideas on how to fix would be welcome(other than perhaps cramming my tabs onto one window or sucking it up XD).
