Old power supply does not fit new MBP

I recently got a new MBP to replace a 2011 unit that went bad. The wife also have a 2007 MBP. Over the years I have accumulated four 85 watt power supplies with the magnetic catch. Magsafe I believe they call it.
I keep one on my desk at the office and one on the desk at my home. I don't even have to take the new one out of the bag.
Imagine my surprise when I tried to attach one of the old power supplies to my new 2014 MBP. It didn't fit. The new computer is thinner than the old ones and the mag connector is not as wide (or tall if you consider the angle it sits at).
After pondering the situation for a while and staring at the connectors, it dawned on me that the electrical connections and local area around them are identical. What is different is the thickness of the surrounding metal rim.
I took one of the old power supplies along with the new one out to my shop and milled .028" (28 thousandths, or 28 mils) off each side of the old connector. Voilá, it worked perfectly. The two modified units now are back in place on the two desks and my new power supply is safely tucked in my carrying bag for use when I am "out".

Should the trip to the shop prove to be tiring, you may get one of these instead:

Firefox will not import my old bookmarks, and does not make new ones.

I have recently installed windows 7 and then offcourse Firefox. I have been using Mozilla for more than 16 years. But now I am thinking of switching.
I cannot import my old bookmarks, there is not troubleshooting information, nothing happenes.
When I am making a new bookmark, it does only appear in the recently box, but not in the new sections I try to make.

Are you trying to import your bookmarks from a JSON file or an HTML file? Try opening this file with Notepad and make sure it actually contains bookmarks.
If the file is valid and is not importing, the problem may be that your bookmarks file is locked or corrupted. To fix this problem, follow the steps at [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#Places_database_file]

Migration Assistant Problem: Old MacBook Pro does not see new MacAir

I have a brand new MacAir (OSX 10.7 and a 4 year old Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6)...trying to use Migration Assistant using Wifi, they're both on my network, but the new MacAir can "see" the old Macbook, but the old Macbook doesn't "see" the new MacAir...the wheel just keeps spinning as it tries to find another computer to migrate to but it just never sees it. What am I doing wrong or what can I do to fix this problem? Thanks!

Sounds like there are two issues:
1. The Migration should start from the "To" computer asking for the stuff from the "From" computer. Sounds like you're doing it the other way.
2. The MacBook Air isn't visible. Correct that by going to System Preferences ---> Sharing on your MacBook Air and see if things look good there. You should at least see a message near the top starting with "Computers on your local network can access your computer ..."

Query for Old Data that does not match New Data within a given time period

Hello all,
One of the reports I need to create is for all associates who went from one department to another within a given time period. The way I ran this report in Reportsmith (pulling from our old system) was to compare the dept field from the beginning date to the dept field at the end date and it would give me those associate's that had moved. I had to do it this way b/c dept changes can happen using several different types of actions (supv change, promotion, etc.), none of them exclusive to just dept changes. We are now using Oracle HRMS and I need to create this same report with this system using SQL.
Does anyone know how to compare data between two different dates and pull the ones that don't match? Your help will be GREATLY appreciated!
Warm Regards,

Hi, Yasmin,
In the sample data you posted, nobody changed departments between May 1 and May 11. In fact, there were no assignments of any kind between January 16 and May 17, so I wouldn't expect any output for that period.
A person (or rather, a duck) did change deptartments on May 20, so if you change the upper limit of the date range to
AND ASG_LAST_UPDATE_DATE < TO_DATE ('05/21/09', 'MM/DD/RR')you should see her.
You've probably noticed that this site likes to compress white-space.

MP-101 paper for head alignment in MX922 does not fit

How do I complete the head alignment with MX922 as the specialty paper supplied does not fit?

Hi cumphries,
There are two paper trays to load paper in the PIXMA MX922; the upper and lower cassette trays. The MP-101 paper should be loaded in the lower cassette of the printer as shown below:
Slide the paper guide (A) in front and (B) on the right to open the guides. Load the paper stack WITH THE PRINT SIDE FACING DOWN (3), and place it in the center of the lower cassette.
  Note:
  Align the paper stack with the edge of the lower cassette as shown in the figure below.
If the paper stack is in contact with the protrusion (C), the paper may not be fed properly.
  If paper has print side (front or back), such as photo paper, load it with the whiter side (or glossy side) facing down.
Align the paper guide (A) in front with the paper stack.
For standard sizes, align the paper guide (A) with where it clicks into place.
Slide the paper guide (B) on the right to align the right and left guides with both sides of the paper stack.
Do not slide the paper guides too hard against the paper. The paper may not be fed properly.
  Note:
  Do not load sheets of paper higher than the load limit mark (D).
  Keep the paper stack height below the protrusions (E) of the paper guides.
Hope this helps!

How do I transfer music and photos from my Power Mac G5 to my new iMac. Have an old FireWire but it does not fit the new iMac

I am trying to transfer photos, music, etc from my Power Mac G5 to my new iMac. The Power Mac is too old for the migration assistant to help. I have an old Firewire but it does not fit the new iMac. Any suggestions? If a Firewire is the best option which one do I need? Thanks.

You need a Firewire 800 to 400 adapter or cable or a external USB 2/3 drive (self powered) it can default to the old USB the G5 uses 1 or 2.
Format the drive info here.

I recently bought a Macbook Air and a Thunderbolt Display and the laptop's power is supposed to come from the display, but the power cable on the display does not fit into the Macbook Air.

I recently bought a 11" Macbook Air and a 27" Thunderbolt Display.The laptop's power is supposed to come from the display when connected, but the power cable on the display does not fit into the Macbook Air.

If your MBair is a 2012 model, it has a Magsafe 2 power connection. The monitor probably has the old magsafe connection. If this is the case, you need this adapter.

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.

Pavilion DV6 1311el power supply ok, power led does not light up

I own a dv6 notebook model 1311el that works just fine with a charged battery but it wont accept charge from the charger. The led next to the power jack does not light up, i have removed the power button bezel and keyboard and then i used a multimeter to measure the voltage between the wires of the power jack cord and there were 19.5 and 15 volts as it should... I am sure that the power supply works because i gave it to a friend of mine which has the same hp model.

Hello Nessuno,
I see your AC adapter is not charging your HP Pavilion dv6-1311el Entertainment Notebook, your battery indicator LED is not lit. I would like you to start here, this will help you determine if it is the battery or the power supply: Battery Does not Power Notebook or Hold a Charge.
A battery that does not charge might be the result of a power adapter failure, a system board failure, or a battery failure. Please perform the steps listed in the troubleshooting document in order to diagnose the failure.
I hope this is helpful.
Thank you,

I have a 5 year old Imac. it does not pick up the wireless internet signal in the same location that my new laptop does. Is there anything I can do to it to fix that?

I have a five year old Imc that does not pick up a wireless signal in the same area that my laptop does - is that just because it is old? Is there a card widget I could add to the IMac?

If the Sony uses the Universal Dock System you need this adopter. If it does not they try Sony.

Getting "Table %TEMPLATE does not fit into window" error

Hello,
I am trying to print a form to an old EPSON DFX-9000 dot matrix printer and am getting the error message Table %TEMPLATE does not fit into window".
This only happens when I go to that printer. I can print fine to a laser printer.
I have tried creating a new device type and copying over the format from the laser printer, playing with the format, changing formats, ect.
I have adjusted the size of the window that my template cannot allegedly fit into but still no luck. I have checked the height and width of the template and the window many, many times and still get the same error.
Has anyone seen this before? Please help. Thanks.

Hi James,
You need to see the width and height of the Page Format which you have set in Form Attributes of your smartforms.
What ever you create should be within this width and height .
So accordingly adjust the width and height of your windows and components within them

IPhone4 sync to new computer does not receive new content

I have a problem when attempting to change the PC to which my iPhone syncs.
i) Sync to old laptop fine - picks up music, photos etc.
ii) Change to a new laptop:
- authorize this
- transfer purchases
- this fails on some apps e.g. BBC News, but not others. So download the failed apps on to the new laptop.
iii) Setup autosync for some test content - music, podcast, photos and a new app.
Storage bar at the bottom of iTunes shows what should happen.
iv) Sync - this gives the warning about using a new library and it'll erase the 'old' content. Select okay.
v) Sync then removes the old content from the old laptop but does not add the new content from the new laptop. No errors. Storage bar reverts to current status, synced content tabs stay as I selected them (e.g. 77 pictures from a folder are selected in iTunes but no present on the phone).
Hmmm...
Tried rebooting everything, tried switching to manual management and back. Nothing seems to work, so I cannot get music back onto the phone.
Everything else is fine, e.g. backup and syncing google contents etc.
I understand that the phone will only sync to one iTunes library.
Anyone have a fix or clue?
I've never done a restore, so don't know what might be broken thereafter?!

Answered my own question - sort of (and after some hours)...
Plenty of other threads refer to the how-to-copy-your-library support pages - in my case, I'd used this to copy an older iPod library to the new laptop and did not copy the iPhone library as well.
Copying the full library off the old library fixes the problem for the iPhone and I'm now rebuilding the music+podcast library to support the iPod.
Summary is that you must copy the library for the iPhone from old to new PCs. If you have another i* device, then you may run into the same issue as me...
