  • I bought a MacBook Air which includes a puzzling cord.  It plugs into a wall socket at one end, but the other end looks like a miniature hair dryer.  Does anyone know what this is for?cord

    I bought a MacBook Air which includes a puzzling cord.  It appears to be for charging the Mac.  It has three prongs where it plugs into the wall socket, but at the other end there is something that looks like a miniature old-style hairdryer.  It doesn't fit anywhere on the MacBook Air.  It is approximately 1 cubic inch in size.  Sort of looks like a miniature building with two joined smokestacks.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hi, I think you are talking about the extension cord for the MagSafe power adapter.
    This you can plug it to the MagSafe adapter in order to get a longer cable, but first you have to slide to disconnect the wall connector from the adapter and get this:
    I'm sure you will get it once you slide the socket connector from the adapter. NOTE: you have to slide the  little socket connector from the adapter, DON'T PULL IT OFF. Is easy to slide.
    Hope this is the answer for your question. If I'm wrong, please put an image of the "puzzling cord".

  • My iMac has flickering lines on the screen...? HELP!!!

    I have a white iMac running Lion that has been freezing up or restarting on me. I've had this issue with Snow Leopard also. Then I also have an issue that when I open the internet I get lines across Safari flickering around as I use it and it also happens when I open Itunes and other programs....I do not run multiple programs at the same time I close them when I'm done. Lately I've been having to use Windows Vista, through boot camp , but even like that I get lines flickering all about. They're black and thin. It has been going on for a while but tody I got fed up with it because I tried playing Sims game but when I opened up the game to start playing all my screen got horizontal lines, they're black and white or black and light blue something like that.
    I notice that it mostly does it while running on the Apple OS and when I run it on Windows Vista I only get the line issue.
    Has anyone had this issue?

    Hi, sounds like at least seriousHardware problems, most likelyVideo care/Logic board problems.

    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.

  • Can someone tell me how to make the letters that look like fabric?

    Can someone tell me how to make the letters that look like fabric?

    It could be as simple as clipping an image of the fabric of your choice, to a text layer.
    In this example the Hessian texture was downloaded from Google images, and placed over a Type layer.  You then Alt (Opt) click the intersection of the Type and Hessian layer to clip them together.  This just means that only the shape of the underlying layer will show in the clipped layer.

  • I create a project w/iMovie and I have two problems:  When I try to finalize the project iMovie crashes; when I share to DVD sometimes it crashes also; if I can successfully send it to DVD and then burn a DVD there are wavy lines on the screen.  Help!

    I create a project w/iMovie and I have two problems:  When I try to finalize the project iMovie crashes; when I share to DVD sometimes it crashes also; if I can successfully send it to DVD and then burn a DVD there are wavy lines on the screen.  I'm uising photos in my project, not video.  Help!

    You can split a project in two by doing this.
    1) Go to the Project Library View.
    2) Select your project, and click FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT. Give it a name like "your project name - part 1".
    3) Do this again. This time name it "your project name - part 2"
    4) Open Part 1 for editing. Delete everything in the second half.
    5) Open Part 1 for editing. Delete everything in the first half of the project.
    At the end you should have your original project, plus the same project in two parts.

  • My iphone has blue lines down the screen

    My iPhone 4 has blue lines down the screen which occasionally change colour. I've tried resetting it and restoring the settings but it is continuing to do this. please help....

    To rule out a software issue, set it back to factory settings without using the latest backup.

  • My iPod 5th generation has white lines across the screen and i cannot unlock it

    My iPod has white lines across the screen. I cannot do anything! Somebody please help! P.S. I dropped it and it did this.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. I suspect that the drop damaged the iPod

  • How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was broken. I bought a new one but now it won't charge. I have a BATTERY bar in the middle of the screen that is flashing RED and I have a symbol on the bottom that looks like a charger.

    How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was damaged so I bought a new one but it won't charge. On my Ipad, I have a BATTERY bar in the middle that is flashing RED and an icon on the bottom that looks like the end of a charger. I have tried to force into reset mode, by holding the sleep key and home button SEVERAL times but it does NOT work. I have plugged my Ipad into my desktop computer, but I do not have a screen on my desktop that is coming up. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AFTER I DID AN UPDATE AND WAS LOCKED OUT AND I USED EITHER ICLOUD OR ITUNES TO RESTORE, NOT SURE WHICH AND I FORGOT HOW.

    Hi MrsMoosie,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If your iPad isn't responding or doesn't appear to be charging, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful, in particular the following portion:
    If you don't see the charging screen within an hour, or you see the connect to power screen, check your connector, USB cable, and power adapter. Make sure that everything is plugged in firmly, free of debris, and not damaged. You might want to try a different USB cable or power adapter.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Regards,
    - Brenden

    Did anything happen to the computer?  It appears that you are trying to sync to another iTunes library since in that case you can only sync with one iTunes library.
