My power cord keeps fraying, what is the fix?

I have taped it up and thought that would be the end of the problem, but now it is fraying beside the area I taped. What is up with this? I feel Apple should replace this cord on my two year old computer even though it is off warranty.

I am about to have to get my THIRD cord for my mac because of this problem. It's disappointing that this continues to happen. Totally crap cords. And no, I don't abuse my cords or step on them or let the dogs chew them etc etc. It's shoddy. And yeah...I have to use the electrical tape on mine too and it just keeps going.

MacBook Pro Retina - power cord keeps falling out of machine

Just purchased this MacBookPro 2 days ago and the mag safe power cord keeps falling out of the computer! Very frustrating! Any fixes for this?

I know my wife lets out a *#@! now and then when she realizes her newer MBP had become disconnected from the MagSafe. It does take considerably less tension to pull it free. For those who have owned an Apple notebook with the previous version of MagSafe, this is a common complaint though I suspect Apple considers it a feature. The original MacBook Pro is considerably heavier than the MacBook Air and retina MBP models. Shortly after buying a 2011 MacBook Air I nearly pulled the computer off the table. Had it been the older MBP the MagSafe would have pulled free. So I suspect Apple intentionally made the new MagSafe easier to pull free. But as Oglethorpe said, you can take it back and should - if nothing else to compare your to the ones at the store.

Try this now.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

The power cord keeps falling of my MacBook Pro?

I love my new MacBook Pro but the power cord keeps falling off and it's driving me a little crazy. It's already been replaced once so that's not the problem. If anyone has any suggestions, besides duct tape, please let me know?

Denise, the new magsafe 2 has a weaker neodymium magnet, its designed that way.
formerly too many people in coffee shops etc etc were getting their macbooks yanked to the floor on accident.
Its new design is weaker for good reason.
if it keeps coming loose youre using if your lap or in bed,...sitting on a flat surface that woudlnt happen.

My MacBook Air won't charge using the power cord and it's not the power cord that's malfunctioning. The battery is now exhausted.

My MacBook Air won't charge using the power cord and it's not the power cord that's malfunctioning. I went to Radio Shack and tried two new cords. The battery is now dead. Any thoughts?

Unfortunately, my battery has died as a result of not being able to charge with the power cord. Not sure what an SMC reset is but I have made an appointment to bring my laptop in to the Apple Store. Thank you for your response. Very much appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Carla

On my iMac the superdrive keeps ejecting my blank DVD. What's the fix?

It's a DVD-R Verbatim disk. What's the fix?
Thanks.

First thing is try another brand of DVD-Rs. Some are more reliable than others.
If that doesn't work, does it eject CDs as well? Movie DVDs?
Let us know, we'll keep working with you.
Best of luck.

Hi there Rlong50,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

Spry tabbed panel not displaying correctly in IE , in other browsers it is fine, what is the fix

Spry tabbed panel not displaying correctly in IE , in other browsers it is fine, what is the fix

As an FYI: Adobe discontinued developing the Spry framework last year. And Spry was removed from DW CC. You can keep using Spry if you wish, but most of us have switched to other solutions that work better in IE10 and Touch Screens.

Phone thinks it's "in dock" when it is not. What is the fix?

Phone thinks it's "In Dock" when it is not. What is the fix.

I still think it's a connector problem but you can try the standard troubleshooting...
1. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
- Press the home button when done.
4. Restore with your backup.
5. Restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

What is the fix for the shockwave crash? I have tried several.....

What is the fix for the shockwave crash? I have tried several.....
I have win7 and firefox

You are right — insofar as this forum is for the Shockwave Player, the plug-in for content created with Director.
However, many years ago Macromedia decided to call their brand new player for Flash content "Shockwave Flash", presumably in an effort to piggy-back on the mind-share that Shockwave had already gained. This has caused endless confusion ever since, especially now that the Flash Player keeps crashing. Take my advice and (search then) post on the Flash Player forum — you'll see any number of threads about crashes, presumably with some recommended fixes too

What is the fix for a wireless keyboard that eats batteries?

What is the fix for a relatively new wireless keyboard that eats batteries?

Part of it may be something in the battery reporting software.
I got my first wireless Apple KB with a new iMac last November (2011) and, disliking the abbreviated design for desktop use, bought a wired board for the iMac and appointed the wireless to be the travel keyboard for my MacBook Pro. I used it on a routine basis and the battery level stayed at 100 percent until June, when it suddenly read 50 percent. Today it's still 50 percent. Makes absolutely no sense but it works.
It's been on most of the time, including a couple of trips when I failed to turn it off and it was running in my backpack for days. It still ahs the batteries Apple shipped with it.
My Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse, on the other hand, showed normal battery decay over time when connected to the same computer
If the keyboard stops working, that's one thing but, if you are seeing odd percentage reports and the thing still works, just keep using it until it dies. A couple of spares in the computer bag take very little space.
I've not seen a battery calibration feature mentioned for input devices like we have for the "smart" batteries in notebook Macs.

After upgrading to IOS 5 on my iPad only some books in iBooks show content. They were fine before the upgrade. I made a new version in Pages and reinstalled them on the iPad. Still nothing. What is the fix?

I just got the iBooks update and that fixed the problem, except the book covers look like they were done in a government printing office.

Downloaded IOS 7.1 and now can't access Game Center or friends list in the games I play on ipad. What is the fix?

I downloaded IOS 7.1 on my ipad. Now I can't open Game Center or access my friends lists in the games I play. My ipad is about 3 years old. What is the fix?

Swiping up from the bottom of the screen with four fingers did not bring up the app preview. A single press on the home button still brings me back to the home screen, but a double press of the home button does nothing following updating to 7.1 Given that, when I added a software home button as suggested by DIAVONEX, I found that all of the apps WERE still open! So thank you DIAVONEX, and you should be careful, bobseufert, as your information was inaccurate.( I did try turning it off and that didn't change anything. ) I don't really want a software home button on my screen, but I guess I will use it until either there is another update to resolve this glitch or someone else identifies a quirky setting that I inadvertently activated...

I have an older iPod Touch, Model MC086LL with an IOS software version of 4.2.1. Many of the applictions which I had previously purchased were recently upgraded and they no longer can be loaded on my iPod. What is the fix?

Reload older versions from iTunes on a computer, or buy a newer device.
