Melting connection port of Macbook Charger.
I purchased a macbook charger in Jan 2011, but now the connectign port has started melting down. Is it unusual??
If you can't charge it then you need to take it to Apple and get the socket fixed, once your battery goes flat that's the end of any use so there's no point trying to struggle on this way.

I am trying to use an external 3g modem made by Huawei model e173s-6 and when I do connect it on my usb port the macbook pro just do not recognize it. I own a 2012 model with mountain lion 10.8.2 . What should I do ?
I still don't know what happened to my test Aperture Library after the update to 3.4...Not only were my previews lost, but so were the original images! Needless to say, I haven't bothered to update the main library on the Mac Pro because I don't want to deal with this level of uncertainty (even with backups in place).

How can I connect my new MacBook Air to a LaCie hard disk with TIme Capsule backup from my old Imac? LaCie has USB 2.0, FireWire and eSata ports.
You can direct connect your MBA to the LaCie via USB 2 cable. If you have an Apple Airport Router you can USB connect the LaCie drive to the router and then use Airport Utility to configure it. Time Machine can access it either way.

HT3382 Connect from a MacBook Pro's mini display port to a Display Port monitor?
Hello everyone,
Is it possible to connect from a MacBook Pro's mini display port to a Display Port monitor with resolutions higher than 1920 x 1200? It seems Apple does not supply a mini-DP to DP adapter.
However, just as they do not make a mini-DP to HDMI adapter, but they do recommend a Belkin product for this purpose.
Is there any reason that a mini-DP to DP adapter or cable wouldn't work and support high resolutions?
Thanks for your feedback!danz0r wrote:
Hey tjk,
Thanks for the response.
Do you have any recommendations for a potential set up? The audio output and Apple DVI are on different sides of my MBP, which is alright, I guess I can get two long cables to handle each. I was hoping to just have my MBP closer to where I use it, with a cord nearby plugged in on one side to the HDTV and resting near where I keep my MBP for when I want to use the HDTV as an external monitor.
With a converter like this, you can run video out of the MBP's DVI port, and miniToslink (optical) audio out of the 3.5mm stereo mini jack to the converter, then it will combine the two and output audio and video through HDMI to the monitor.

Otherwise, depending on the TV's inputs, for video you could run DVI to DVI on the TV, or DVI to HDMI to the TV. For audio you could run 3.5mm stereo mini plug from the MBP to RCA adapter on the TV. Toslink/optical is also an option. -
Connecting Cinema Display with mini display port to macbook pro with thunderbolt port
I am trying to connect a 27" cinema display (2010) that has a mini display port cable out of the back, into my macbook pro (2013) with thunderbolt ports. The mini display port cord fits into the thunderbolt port on the Macbook Pro, however the macbook pro does not detect the cinema display and the cinema display does not have any picture on the screen. The USB plugs in fine and sound comes out, and I have the adapter for the magsafe to magsafe 2 and that works fine, it just the actual display. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!Hello mmholt,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there’s no video on an Apple Cinema Display that’s connected to your MacBook Pro, and you’re wondering if the configuration is supported. It is supported, take a look at the article linked below for more information.
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ) - Apple Support
1. Can I connect a Mini DisplayPort monitor or monitor using a Mini DisplayPort adapter to a Thunderbolt port on my Thunderbolt-equipped Mac?
Yes. A Mini DisplayPort display or a display connecting with a Mini DisplayPort to VGA, DVI, or HDMI adapter will work just like it was connecting to a Mini DisplayPort connector when plugging in directly to the Thunderbolt connector on your Apple computer. Click here for more information on Mini DisplayPort connections and adapters.
Also, this article provides a lot of great information and troubleshooting tips that will resolve most issues related to video external displays.

I have a Samsung VGA Monitor connected to my MacBook Pro using the Mini Display Port to VGA Adapter. How do I configure the computer so that it doesn't sleep when I close the lid of the computer.
Hi alangium,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Resetting your computer's PRAM should restore your Macbook Pro's screen appearance.

This article may provide some information about your Mini DisplayPort to AVI adapter. Have you tried to connect a different VGA monitor to your Macbook to see if you get the same results?

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3382
18. What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter?
The resolution available with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter is 1920 x 1200. VGA displays that use higher refresh rates (such as 85 Hz) at resolutions of 1600 x 1200 or greater may not generate video properly until you lower the refresh rate.

How can I detect displays?
If the detect displays option is not available, hold down the Option key while you are in the Display pane.
How do I select additional resolutions on my display?
You can use the Display pane of System Preferences to specify how your display works. Not all options appear for all display models. By default the best resolution for your display will already be selected in System Preferences.
To select a different resolution, use the Scaled option. Some additional resolutions may be available when you hold the Option button.
I hope this information helps ....

Cannot get iPad 2 charged beyond 1%. All charging ports tried: AC adapter(s), USB 2 port on MacBook Pro. ITunes shows iPad only for a few seconds. iPad displays alternately: Apple logo, battery w/slim red band, then battery w/1% charged information. How can I get it to charge beyond 1% so I can proceed to troubleshoot?
I have had your exact problem with my old 3GS, now I cannot even get it to turn on, I still see that it is supposed to be charging though, but it never charges any so it seems.
I replaced the Lower Dock Connector Assembly back when it still charged while hooked to my PC, and it found it made no real difference.

At this point I am not sure if I should replace the battery and hope for the best, or just junk the phone, I cannot really sell it if I cannot reset it... -
My iPhone charges normally trought power outlet, But it won't charge or recognize trough USB connection on my MacBook, even in restore or DFU mode.
Please help me! I'm stuck on restore mode.I tried on 3 different MacBooks, it doesn't work.
I have some updates though... It is recognized on my car sound system, and It is working fine when connected to a windows PC, I was able to normally activate it... so the problem is not on the connector, Macs just don't recognize it.

What plug adapter do I use to connect the new Macbook USB-C port to a cinema display?
What plug adapter do I use to connect the new Macbook USB-C port to a cinema display?
If you intend to connect your 2008 display to the new macbook then you will need a USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter ($79) as well as a mini display port to VGA port adapter ($29) and also a VGA-VGA Standard 15-Pin VGA Male to VGA Male Cable ($5).

http://www.amazon.com/VGA-VGA-Standard-15-Pin-Male-Cable/dp/B0002AHT0M
The 2008 old cinema analogue Apple Cinema Displays were mostly pre-quipped with a mini display port rather than a VGA or HDMI port. So you will have to connect the mini display port to VGA port adapter to your 2008 ACD and the USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter to your new macbook and connect the two female VGA ports with a VGA-VGA Standard 15-Pin VGA Male to VGA Male Cable.
But I can't guarantee though that the above setup will work for your new macbook and your 2008 Apple Cinema Display. You should double check with Apple support regarding my suggestion. Just let me know....... -

Why MY ipad don't charge on usb port, on Macbook pro
why MY ipad don't charge on usb port, on Macbook pro
Because the port you're using just isn't putting out enough juice. The Power Adapter which came with your iPad puts out 2A of charging current, while the most powerful USB port on any computer is going to be putting out 500mA at most (and many brands, especially PC laptops, put out considierably less).
That's why your User's Guide recommends you use the Power Adapter. -
why does not ipad show on itunes? when i connected with my macbook using usb, just it is charging electricity.
i don't know why...Sometimes it can be something very simple and easy to fix. Before you get into any involved troubleshooting, quit iTunes, restart your Mac, restart your iPad and then try to sync again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If this doesn't work, then try the more involved stuff. -

Original iPhone. 1 green pixel. Dead center.
Certain not to find too much sympathy around here, if any. Purchased the iPhone in July 2007. Apple had to replace it as the screen went dead (touch areas) in October 2008. So roughly 16 months of life out of that one. As of yesterday, there is green
