One of the connector pins on both the power cord and the magport are burned
Has anyone ever encountered this problem?
We have to constantly jiggle and work with the powercord to be able to get it to charge the book and it would seem that our battery/power seems to be hotter than it has been since we bought the macbook.
Just wondering if anyone has an experience with this issue.
Both a friend and myself have had the same problem on first gen MBPs. I'm getting the adaptor replaced today - it is obviously discolored and melting at the power connector

we have 2 itouchs, we a separate itunes account for each one. We have one home computer to use them both on for sync and icloud, the icloud will not accept the 2 accounts?
Do you know what happens if you delete the icloud account from an iphone 4s? Will it delete the pictures, documents, etc. from the phone, or just unlink the icloud from the phone? I want to associate a different icloud account to the phone.

So i recently bought an Apple AirPort Extreme BaseStation (the mushroom shaped one) and was wondering if someone could tell me where and how to find a power cord and how to set it up with my Macintosh (2011 edition with 1.7.5) Thankyou!
Welcome!
Last question first, as we need to know what operating system that the Mac is using.
If you are not sure, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac, and post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.
Two possible solutions on the power cord
ORIGINAL OEM APPLE AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATION POWER SUPPLY AC ADAPTER A1202 if you want a white power supply and white power cord to match up with the Apple device
AC adapter for Apple AirPort A1034 Extreme B... if you don't care what color the supply and cord might be
If you don't already have a Setup Guide.....look here:
AirPort Extreme Base Station Setup Guide v4.2 (Manual) -
I need to purchase a power cord for my intel based 27" iMac. I have had it for almost 2 years, I don't have apple care and I don't want to take it in to the genius bar. I know it's the power cord and I just want to purchase one.
iMacs take generic power cords. If it fits into the back of the iMac and an electrical socket, it'll work.
Good luck.

Does someone know when our movie project and finally our iDVD project is done, can we erase the clip that we had imported in iMovie without danger? Or we have to keep the clip in iMovie until the DVD are burn?
Hi
Most processes in Non destructive Video editing is based on that the raw-material is safe and intact. So by trashing it most things can or will go wrong.
So e.g. in iMovie project - there is NO Movie - just a small text document refering to Your raw-material, audio files and photos (within or not in iPhoto Library) on how they are to act together to Play Your Movie.
And by changing any of them the Movie project will be affected or destroyed.
reg. iDVD there is also a link back to iMovie - Most famous to set of the iDVD BUG !
To do that - one starts a new iDVD project and add movies etc. Then find something i one movie in need to be adjusted. Closing iDVD and returning to iMovie and doing this. Then when back to iDVD it will notice and ask You to Up-date or Cancel. Neither works. The iDVD project is harmed. All Chapters now point to Chapter One and more strange things happens.
the medicine I use - I start a brand new iDVD Project and re-do it and hopefully not fine any more to be fixed in the movie.
This indicates the strong link inbetween iDVD and iMovie and I would not touch anything in iMovie till DVD is Burned and Ready AND Plays Well !

My iMac wouldn't turn on. This has happened out of nowhere, it was working really well before. checked my power cord and outlets everything's fine. The iMac has no power at all. no sound or anything, completely dead. It is only 1 year and 2 mos old. Any idea what it could be?
I have purposely been ignoring your responses to my posts about the heat issues in the newer design iMacs, but if you want really want to ague the point...
First, the iMac is marketed as a desktop model Mac. Not a laptop or MacBook.
I have never owned a MacBook, so I can't attest to how much heat the MacBooks generate.
I Have two iMac models. A 2009, 27 inch screen iMac for myself. And a 2010, 21.5 inch screen iMac for my Fiancée.
As a desktop Mac these are hottest running desktop Macs I have ever owned. Period. I owned two beige Macs, a pre-G3 tower, aG3 desktop, a G4 MDD Tower, the original iMac, eMac, iMac G4 and now my current iMacs.
None of my previous Macs have ever, EVER ran this hot. I have never, also, had any component failures in any of the previous Macs I have owned, either. All of my Macs have been upgraded or modded to some degree over the years. About 2 years ago I had to press my old G3 back into service. Both my G3 and G4 models have been heavily modded. The G3 ran without issue for a close friend for over a year until that friend went out a got a Mac Mini.
That's a 1996-97 Mac my friend. And it still is in working order and hasn't had any failures.
The fact I am pointing out here is that heat is an enemy to electronic components.
Whether desktop iMac or MacBooks, tightly packed enclosures of heat generating computer components with fans that do not run fast enough at most times to cool off the interior or exterior, will and does slow roast computer components to premature failure.
I do not know how frequent component failure is in the MacBook line up. So I can't attest to those.
I do not participate in those forums.
This is why at some point in computer history, Super Conputers were liquid cooled. PowerMac G5 systems were liquid cooled because they ran too hot!
I have taken my own precautions to keep my iMacs' heat down as much as possible.
I don't have the money to keep buying a new Mac every 3-5 years when some catastrophic failure happens.
I had to purchase my iMacs used as I couldn't afford the cost of a new iMac with the specs I needed.
My idea, your idea and Apple's idea of acceptable operating temps we can argue all day long.
I feel, personally, that the operating temps are too high and exacerbate operational issues.
I Have been participating in these particular iMac forums for just over a year and have seen plenty of posts of iMac component failures due to both heat and dust, dirt issues from within the iMac.
There can be no other reason for all of these failures. The SuperDrive is, usually, the first to go bad.
It's probably due more to its vertical mounting, but the excessive interior heat isn't helping it.
Next to fail is the GPU. The last to fail, but the most expensive to fix, the Logic Board.
I Have seen plenty of posts in my last year here of all of these failures in iMac less than 5 years old and ,perhaps, a little older. 2008 model iMacs seem to have their issues, too!
Apple is focusing too much on design and aesthetics, rather than longevity of their products, I feel now.
A Mac isn't going to last 7- 10 years anymore.
I don't have stats and numbers. Just common sense.
This is my story and I am sticking to it. For what it's worth. -
My I phone 5 locked on me during an update to IOS 8. Nothing is happening at all. I have a frozen picture of the power cord and a red circle that says itunes.
What happened is the update forced your phone into recovery mode. There's been a lot of issues with this, but the only thing you can do is plug the phone into iTunes and do a restore on it. Hopefully you have a backup so you can restore your information.

This is my second power cord and it is now not charging either. Is this a coincidence or is my computer causing the power cord failures?
Hi T,
I would bring it to an Apple Store or AASP to have it checked out. If it's under warranty, it's their problem, not yours. -
Since doing the latest update on my iphone 4 when I try to turn on the phone all i get is a picture of a power cord and an itunes icon. what do i do?
You can reload your data from your most recent backup. If you backup at least weekly, you would only lose anything added since that backup.

Have an iMac. Problem is I hear the fan noise, yet no power on the screen yielding no power. I have checked the power cord and it seems to be fine. Not sure if computer is a total loss. What would be the next step?

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,

Frozen selections: I'm working from my Intel iMac trying to print (from both Aperture and Photoshop CS5) to my new Epson 4900 printer. When the Print menu comes up, under the "Basic" section of the "Printer Settings" the dropdown menus for both "Page Setup" and "Media Type" won't activate. All other options and selections work fine. Just these 2 are not functioning. What's up with that??
Here we are 15 months later and Microsoft Excel 2013 has the SAME ERROR
If one chooses:
Print Preview
Page Setup
Sheet
Then the print area and print titles (Rows to repeat at top, columns to repeat at top)
are all grayed out and cannot be selected.
If, however, I choose the
page layout bar and click print titles then
everything works fine.
Thanks for the solution!!! -
I thought this program was supposed to be so great. The bookmarks are totally unintuitive. I tried to import favorites from Explorer, can only see them if I bring down the menu from the top and select imported bookmarks. When I select Organize bookmarks, it is empty. No bookmarks show at all on the left. Does this sidebar actually work? Can you bring your imported bookmarks onto the sidebar? Can you organize it the way you want in the order you want to see them, as you can in Explorer? I am no big fan of Exploroer, which is why I am trying Firefox, but if bookmarks cannot be easily used, the program is worthless. Any herlp would be appreciated.
Thanks - I had same problem with newly-imported Bookmarks from IE which didn't show in the sidebar. I have opened the Bookmarks Menu and all is OK.

Hi!
I purchased my AppleTV in Miami, but I live in Argentina.
I have not been able to get my device running correctly, and altough I've read tons of things online, I still have no solution to my problem.
Here's the thing: after everything's plugged in and ON, I see the Apple logo briefly, then the TV displays a sign that says no signal, check pwoer cords and power source.
But everything is plugged in and connected properly, otherwise, I doubt I'd be seeing the apple logo, right?
I tried changing the HDMI cable, reversing the ends, switching ports, hard resetting the ATV, and trying a different TV. No luck.
I read there is some issue with Samsung TVs, and most LED and LCD tvs down here are Samsung.
On the other hand, I cannot return it or exchange it, since I bought it in the states.
Oh! One of the tvs I tried it on displays a little sign that reads "connected at 1280x720 @60hz", and only THEN, goes to the "no signal" sign.
Please!!! I am being driven up the walls here.... HELP!!Try this:
Change the Apple TV resolution:
Press and hold the Menu and Up button on your Apple Remote for six seconds.
The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals.
Press Play on the Apple Remote to keep the current resolution or Select to manually cycle to the next resolution.
