No Power in New United Airlines Business Class

Bottom Line: The new United Business Class does not support a power option for the Macbook without a workaround
1. United is upgrading its business class across its fleet (see info and progress at http://www.suitedreams.united.com/
2. The good news is that there is 110 Volt US plug power and also a USB outlet between each two seats allowing you to charge and power a computer and use the USB power to charge and power an ipod or similar device simultaneously. Both appear to have enough power to not only use but also charge these devices (compared to EmPower system which allows you to use but not charge your computer.
3. The bad news is that the 110 Volt US type plug is recessed so the Apple charger US plug does not insert far enough to draw power.
4. The old EmPower outlets (that fit the Apple airline magsafe and older adapters) have been removed.
5. There are two possible workarounds:
a. Find a US multi-plug adapter with a small preferably round plug that will fit into the United business class 110 Volt socket and plug your Apple charger with US plug into that.
b. Plug a non-US Apple adaptor on your Apple charger and then plug that into a foreign to US plug adaptor such as are sold at airports and elsewhere, But again make sure the U.S. end of the adapter is small and/or has long prongs to fit in the United 10 Volt Socket.
4. Having said that, the new Unied lie-flat beds in business class are a huge improvement - almost worth the hassle with power for my Apple MacBook.

Hi,
The work-around would be to use a two-conductor power cord with the Macbook charger. Remove the so-called, "duck head," clip-on prongs. There are two recessed pins and an oddly shaped ground pin. The ground pin is not mandatory, as the duck head prongs don't connect the ground. The aadapter's recessed pins fit a standard, "shaver cord," power cord. You can find that type of power cord sold as a, "universal laptop power cord," at places like Radio Shack for about US $6.00. I tried the two-conductor cord from my Toshiba: perfect fit!
If you have an older electric razor, the cord may fit. I have an old Braun and old an Norelco that use the same type cord that would fit the Macbook charger.

  • Can I use the old power supply with the new unit?

    I have a second generation Apple TV. When I install the new unit next week can I use the old power supply with the new one and the new power supply with the old one? This would save some messing with cords behind the units.

    Hello:
    I would definitely not try that.....  The power supplies may be compatible - or may not be compatible.  I think messing with cables is a small price to pay for not potentially frying a new device.

  • HT4044 Part of my iPad(1st gen) screen display does not show,hence I can only see it partially.It was not dropped and neither is it broken. Any help as I was told it cant be fixed and i hv 2 replace with a new unit i.e. pay in full as warranty is over? HE

    Part of my iPad screen display does not show. It was not dropped and neither is the screen broken. I was advised to see the local service provider for a diagnosis.
    I had finally managed to find time to find a local service provider last week (not easy) and was disappointed to be advised of Apple's policy of one for one exchange i.e. they wont repair and said that i would have to replace with a whole unit. As my unit is no longer under warranty, it meant that I had to pay for the full price of a new unit!
    I might as well have paid for the latest new unit but since my unit is only 2 years old at most, it would be a great waste of money.
    How can this be? Does this mean apple's product is inferior and do not last since warranty is only for one year?
    I sincerely hope there is a favourable solution otherwse my money is flushed down the drain.
    HELP!!!

    I was using my iPad last night, shut the power off and when I turned it on this morning 2/3 of the screen is not working.  It looks like the pandalela picture. What is the answer to fix this; is this a screen issue or and electronics issues.  Has anybody else experienced this?

    He means the RDP server, that is running on the machine you are trying to access at 192.168.1.5
    That is defined as a static address on the machine?
    You did this presumably
    Start Registry Editor.
    Locate and then click the following registry subkey:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
    On the Edit menu, click Modify, and then click Decimal.
    Type the new port number, and then click OK.
    Quit Registry Editor.
    Restart the computer
    and have gone back to check it?
    Are you running windows firewall on that machine?  If so maybe you have to set the firewall to allow the new port number before you connect to this computer by using the Remote Desktop connection.

  • Macbook Pro Video Screen Blank - Transfer Data to New Unit

    My 2008 Macbook Pro went to sleep and woke up with a dead screen.  Same thing with the Pismo 6 years ago; will not go through nor will I throw away my money again with multiple service providers like I did during that episode.  Want to purchase a new Macbook Pro and transfer my data to the new unit.  Current unit still starts up, chimes, etc. just no video.  How would I go about transferring my data?

    You have two options, Target Disk Mode:

    Or take the HDD out, install it in an enclosure, then attach it to the new MBP via USB.
    Ciao.

  • How do I use an existing cfp program with a new unit?

    I have an existing compact fieldpoint setup (IAK file & Programs) that I would like to install on a new unit.  How can this be achieved?

    Hi DavK.  Unfortunately there can be a lot of 'well, that depends' in how you go about moving an application
    to a new FieldPoint controller.  The following is based on the assumption that you do not have the development
    environment available; if you do, it is probably easier to just recompile targeting the new controller.
    The exe is fairly easy:
    1) ftp into the controller
    2) cd to ni-rt\startup
    3) rename startup.exe or startup.rtexe to 'something else'
    4) delete 'something else'
    5) ftp in the new startup.exe or startup.rtexe
    6) ftp in any supporting files (i.e. for external calls)
    7) in c:\ni-rt.ini set  RTTarget.ApplicationPath=c:\ni-rt\startup\startup.exe (or .rtexe)
    8) in c:\ni-rt.ini set RTTarget.LaunchAppAtBoot=True
    The .iak setting is probably easiest to re-create with MAX, rather than copy in.
    The depends part comes in with how the I/O channels were named or referenced in the .exe.  As long
    as everything was done in a generic (consistent between controllers) way you could be ok.
    My guess is that if you have trouble it will be here.
    Hope that helps.

  • Advice on how to access photos on an iPad that were synced from a now failed laptop? The question stems from a need to return my current iPad having just taken delivery of a new unit. Thanks

    I am after some advice on how to access photos on an iPad that were synced from a now failed laptop? The question stems from a need to return my current iPad having just taken delivery of a new unit. Thanks

    If you have a dropbox account, there's a free app (probably more) that syncs photos to your dropbox account - picbox. 
    There's also PhotoSync that syncs photos to/from a number of different services and devices.

  • My ipod touch broke then replaced it with a new one. I already dloaded iOS5 on the old one. When I connected my new unit it says it won't load the previous back because the new one is not up to date... Do I really have to download iOS5 again?

    Yes, you have to update the iPod in order to retore from backup. The iOS on the "new" has to be aequal to r greater than on the iPod from which the backup was made.  The iOS downloads are unique to an iDevice and model (the one for a 3G iPod will not work for a 4G iPod).

  • Adding new fields to business partner relationship

    Hi all,
    We are trying to add new fields to business partneru2019s relationship using EEWB. We are adding 4 new fields when relationship type is "Is shareholder of", so we have created a new project at transaction EEWB and then a new extension and the wizard is started. At the wizard, we have define the 4 new fields with cardinality 1:1 and time dependent without gaps.
    Also we have done all the extension setup, so the new fields only appears when that relationship is created and we can fill the new fields.
    The problem that we have is that every time that you create a new relationship type "Is shareholder of", even if you fill the new fields or not, the system spend more than one hour to save the data, having also a "STACK_STATE_NO_ROLL_MEMORY" dump... It seems that the system goes inside a loop that never ends, but we haven't change any function, because the standard functionality is enough for us.
    Any help on how to proceed?
    Thanks in advance!!

    Please, anyone can help?

  • Creation of new unit of measurment

    Gurus
    How to crete the new unit of measurment which can be used for conversion and what are the tcode.
    Atul Kulkarni

    Hi,
    You can create UoM's by using transaction CUNI.
    Check for the right dimension under which the new UoM falls under..e.g.Assign the SI unit (In each dimension, a unit is defined as the SI unit. This is the basis for the conversion from one unit to another.) to the dimension if required.
    Create a ISO code.The ISO code is important for EDI. It is used to convert the internal SAP measurement units into standard measurement units.
    Define UoM: Be aware to give the correct commercial as well as Technical unit,the commercial unit is used in SAP whereas technical unit you can use in EDI,IDoc.You can assign the ISO code while defining UoM's.Hope this helps!

  • Is it possible to add a new unit in Photoshop?

    Hi, I design website layout with the newest version of photoshop, retina support.
    When I open a 960px width canvas, it looks like 480px width, if I want it looks like a "normal" size, I have to change it to 1920px width.
    It's not a big problem, but when I begin coding, EVERY dimension need to divided by 2 - It's simple but not cool.
    Photoshop has pixels, inches, cm, mm, points, picas, columns, if I can put a new unit "double pixel" into photoshop, it should be solved.
    So, I wonder know are there any method for adding this unit in photoshop, plugin or hacking?
    thank you!

    If you have CS6 you need to update to 13.0.2, a recent update.
    Why do my images appear smaller on my Retina enabled Mac after installing the 13.1/13.0.2 update?
      Retina displays use a higher pixel density than a normal monitor. The individual display pixels are approximately one half the size of previous devices. While working in Photoshop before installing the 13.1/13.0.2 update, as with any other non-Retina optimized application, the number of pixels used is doubled to give a normal, non-miniaturized appearance. This can cause applications to be slightly blurred or pixilated. Thus, when viewing images in Photoshop, the zoom level is effectively double whatever is displayed. At 100% zoom, the image is displayed so that every one image pixel is shown with four display pixels, the same as viewing the image at 200%. With the 13.1/13.0.2 update, Photoshop now displays natively on Retina screens, meaning that image pixels now appear at the much smaller Retina size, thus reducing the amount of screen space they take up when viewed at 100%

  • CUNI - Creation of new unit - error Unit is not created in language EN

    Dear BI community,
    We have created via transaction CUNI a new unit. Everything looks fine - it appears in the unit of measurement and the conversion works.
    The problem only occurs when we check it in table T006A by example. When looking for it we get the following error message
    "Unit is not created in language EN".
    We have tried the "translation" option of CUNI but when we select another from language than EN we get not value.
    Any idea?
    Thanks,
