PLUG ADAPTERS FOR CHILE

Wondering if anybody can help: I'm going to Chile on Friday and am borrowing a 15" Titanium Powerbook from my office. I can't get a definitive answer from Applecare about the World Travel converter kit, with the wall outlet plug adapters. Will it work in Chile? The box and the manual list Europe and Australia and Hong Kong and all kinds of places, but there's no mention of South America at all. Different countries down there have different voltage. Chile is 220.
I've talked to Tech Support, I've talked to Customer Service. All they say is "I don't know." I even went to an Apple store today to look at the kit and they reufsed to open a sealed box and they had no display models. And again, they just shrugged and said, "Oh, it doesn't say South America? I don't know."
I checked International Electrical Supply websites and they say that Chile is 200 v and you need a WA-10 and WA-12 grounded plug adapter and it shows the pictures, and a #1 and #6 ungrounded. But the Apple manual doesn't list numbers or letters. Just illustrations, which feels to risky to me to go by. Then Radio Shack says for Chile you need their converter called "B" and plugs "2" and "5." (Which they didn't have).
So it seems like everybody calls this stuff something else.
Since the Apple power adapter will convert the voltage to 220, all I need are the plug adapters, right? The Apple power thing has a 3-prong plug. I guess I have to purchase the products from somewhere else, it seems, as I'm nervous about purchasing from Apple and finding out the plug adapters don't work. And I can't find anybody who knows anything about them.
Anybody out there with experience on this stuff? Since it isn't my laptop, I'm even more concerned that I don't screw this up.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Buy the 98 cent plug adapters which are our style on top and two round prongs on the bottom. The power supply works from 100-240 and 50/60 hz so you just need to accommodate the plug format. I have a bag of them and am off to Chile in a week. Decent hotels usually have a box of them to lend out as well.
You might have to get a (somewhat discouraged) 3-2 prong adapter here first, e.g. the plug is 3 prongs that you have now and you need to get it to 2 prongs to fit in the Chile adapter as all the sockets only have the two holes there.
So it isn't grounded all that hot but there is usually a wire on the adapter so you can always run a ground wire to the screw in the cover plate or a pipe etc.
I don't bother but make sure you are not using it in the bathtub or something like that.

We are going to Great Britain this summer. Do we need voltage converters as we'll plug adapters for our iPads (one is 2nd generation and one 4th)

We are going o Great Britain this summer. Do we need voltage converters as well as plug adapters for our iPads (one is 2nd generation and one 4th)

No. Since Apple power converter work from 110 to 240 volts, no power converter is reguired.
You will need a pin adaprt. I have found my local Ace hardware store to have the best deal on them.

HT1665 I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad. can the plug adapters also be used on the Mac Pro charger to charge up my laptop when travelling or is a special converter needed.M

I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad when traveling abroad. I know this charger can be used on an iPhone, can the plug adapters also be used with the charger of a Mac Book Pro or is a special converter required?

Is there any concern about the type of travel adapter kit? For instance, some instructions indicate they are for heat creating appliances (hairdryers, curling irons, etc.). I bought such a set, but do they present any issues if used with more delicate electronic circuitry (for iPads, iPods, or with camera battery chargers). I am leaving for the UK on Monday and need to get it right - are they too strong for the Apple products if they are not to be used with computers? What other options are out there?

Car AC Adapters for Thinkpad E520

We're looking for car/travel AC adapters (that plug into a cigarette lighter) for Thinkpad E520's. I was able to find travel adapters with the "slim" connector type (looks like a rectangular USB plug), but the E520's have round connectors. The slim type travel adapters can be seen here:

Aftermarket power adapters for MacBook

I travel a lot and am extremely frustrated by the lack of aftermarket power adapters to support the MacBook on long flights.
This appears to be solely a function of Apple's policy on licensing their "wonderful" power connector!
I consider it a very good reason to NOT buy MacBook computers! If I had known that Apple would restrict the availability of airplane adapters for the MacBook, and would not provide anything themselves, I would have switched back to the dark side and purchased a Wintel machine that I could run for the duration of a cross-country flight!
This is just one of the poor planning issues associated with the MacBook product release (lack of a good travel case to fit the 13" MacBook is another).
There are NO airlines that make 110 volts AC available at seats. There are two standards for 12 Volt DC among the airlines, and most of the aftermarket power adapter vendors have good support for the Wintel and the iBook or PowerBook machines... but nothing for the MacBook!

Welcome to the discusions!
Apple made a huge deal about the MasSafe adapters, so it is rather obvious that it would take a while for the aftermarket adapters to come out.
That said, there are a ton of power inverters that will allow you to plug your stock MB adapter into them and then into the power adapter on the plane. They are readily available at any place that sells PCs and run less than $40.
Don't so dramatic. It certainly is not a valid reason to not buy a MB at all. Get the inverter - problem solved.

How to install TWAIN plug-in for Adobe Photoshop CS5

Adobe Photoshop CS4 listed my Epson Perfection V500 scanner as a selection under “File-Import”. When I installed Adobe Photoshop CS5, I noticed that scanner selection is not there. I contacted Epson technical support and they said Adobe Photoshop CS5 does not automatically install the TWAIN plug-in that it needs to recognize the scanner and that I need to contact Adobe technical support to find out how to add it.
How do I install the TWAIN plug-in for Adobe Photoshop CS5 so it will recognize my Epson Perfection V500 scanner as a selection under “File-Import”?
Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

Thanks for your response.
I downloaded the "Photoshop CS5 Optional Plugins" file (PSCS5OptionalPlugins_Win_en_US.zip). I unzipped it and read the "ReadMeCS5_OptionalPlugin.pdf" file. In that file, the only section that discusses TWAIN is entitled "TWAIN (Mac only)". There is no section for how to install TWAIN for Windows.
How do I install the TWAIN plug-in for Windows?
On a side note: Before I posted the question to the form, I changed my Adobe account email from [email protected] to [email protected] I then logged in as [email protected] and posted the question.

How to Install Plug-in for PS cs5 to open RAW (.NEF) file for Nikon D810 Camera

I need someone to walk me through how to install a Plug-in for PS cs5 to open RAW (.NEF) file for Nikon D810 Camera.
I haven't used photoshop in ages and I got a new camera. I have been on the phone with Adobe (no help) and spent a couple of hours online trying to figure this out. I'm confused, frustrated and about to throw my computer out the window.
Also, I placed this in the "Photoshop for Beginners" since Photoshop CS5 doesn't appear anymore. I know CS5 is outdated but I spent hundreds of dollars on this program and you would think adobe would still honor its product.
Any guidance is much appreciated.
AJ

Odds are cs5 is too old. If you do a search on my the main Adobe website there is a list of compatible cameras for the last known update to camera raw for cs5.
Each version of Photoshop only gets so many updates for camera raw then it is necessary to upgrade Photoshop to get the next update for camera raw.
So you currently have 4 choices.
1 upgrade Photoshop
2 get Lightroom - latest version
3 get Photoshop elements -latest version
4 get dng converter - this will download the latest version an is the only option that is free.
The dng converter can be found by searching Adobe website.

Plug-in for bullets and numbered lists in Mail??

Does anyone know of any plug-ins for the Mail app to do bullets and numbered lists like Entourage??
The lack of this functionality really makes Mail kinda lame and unusable for me.
Thanks!

Paul,
the fact that Mail does not support bullit lists is not an oversight but was done on purpose. It may look good on your computer when you compose the message, but you have little influence in the way recipients see that message. It can get very messy, I can assure you.
If you want a perfect layout, compose in a wordprocessor and save as PDF, send that as an attachment.

Can't download plug in for windows media player. Have used download site and it says it worked, but plug in is not showing up on my list of plug ins.

I tried to hear a conference call on a website. Got a message, needed windows media plug in. Checked my plug ins, no windows media. Read tutorial on firefox support. Clicked on download. Got a window that asked for repair or change. Tried repair, then change. Need better directions on how to finish download. Got message download successful, but after closing firefox and reopening, still no plug in for windows media in list of plug ins. Went to site and could not hear conference.
Read support forum. Message about using about:config. Tried this, typed in about: config in start menu, but didn't see anything that looked like I could change to true like message said.
solved by opening internet explorer and going to website and listening to conference call on windows media player. There was a message saying click here if you want to enable media player. Did so, heard conference.
Tried using chrome. Got to hear conference yesterday. Today, there was same message about needing plug in when I tried to follow instructions to get plug in, it was as confusing and useless as firefox. The bottom line is I tried to do everything set forth in firefox's forum suggestions and can't get the windown media plug in to show up in my list of plug ins and can't hear conference calls on firefox.
Chrome did say they were working on getting plug in available at chrome store.
I agree with comments that I was able to go to web sites and hear calls before firefox made an update that removed my windows media plug in. The simple download fix, presumeably from windows, does not work, apparently because firefox can't find the fix. That is not the user's fault, and it looks like windows tried to provide a fix, and firefox won't recognize it.
Bottom line, it is easier to use another browser, than try and get the windows media player plug in installed on firefox. What good is a browser, if you can't hear a call on the website that the browser takes you to? Please make it easy to install the windows media plug in on firefox. Thank you..

Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
There apparently are two ways to address this:
(1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
(i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
(iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
(2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
Open a Windows Explorer window to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
Right-click and paste
Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
''Edit: I suggest just doing #1.''

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

3rd Party Plug-ins for Illustrator

EskoArtwork has a Dynamic Barcode 3rd party plug-in for Illustrator that is listed on the Adobe wesbiste for Illustrator CS6. I puchased it and downloaded it but during the install I get a message saying it can't find a compatible Adobe Illustrator installation on my computer (I have CS6 installed). Upon reading the information on EskoArtwork's package, it says it is only compatible with CS4, CS5 and CS5.5. Is there a way to get this to work with CS6? If not, I would suggest Adobe take it off their list of Plug-In's for CS6.
Also - if it is not compatible, does anyone know of a similar plug-in that would generate and insert bar codes into packaging designs?
Thanks!

You'll probably need to ask EskoArtwork about this.
In past versions, I've been able to move plugins from the plugin directory for the old version to the new version, and often it worked. (YMMV, it depends on changes in the SDK.) You might try creating empty directories for a CS5 version number to see if the installer will work.

I had switches off my iPhone 5 at around 20 percent battery next morning I was not able to switch it on. I tried to get it charged but it didn't showed any sign of charging even when plugged in for about 2 hours. I had to take it to apple care centre

I had switches off my iPhone 5 at around 20 percent battery next morning I was not able to switch it on. I tried to get it charged but it didn't showed any sign of charging even when plugged in for about 2 hours. I had to take it to apple care centre but they refused to repair it after confirming the problem with the device as it was out of warranty and asked me to get it replaced for INR 22500. I got it repaired outside but after that also if I switch it off in the same situation it again happens and I have to take it for repair it has happened 3 times after that. Is it a inherent problem in iPhone that it uses battery even when switched off and if in that case battery drain out then refuse to get charged because this is the scenario i have experienced every time?

Apple told you it was unrepairable.... You had it serviced by an unauthorized party. It's now no longer eligible for out of warranty replacement by Apple.
There's really nothing else we can say about it. Find a competent 3rd party repair shop or buy a new one.

Decimal Places are not Permitted for Chile Country

Hi All,
In OVA8 settings for Chile country at the field max.doc value, i am not able to use the decimals. getting error message as Decimlas are not permitted (Message no - 00011). checked OY04 - there is no decimals for Chile currency. checked - OY01 Dec.Pt. format as 1.234.567,89
For Argentina, Peru and Uruguay same settings has been done and i am able to save the decimal points in OVA8 at the field max.doc value.
Please let me know if there is any specifis settings for Chile or SAP NOTE
Thanks,
Mahesh

HI,
just looking at a brand-new ECC60 / EhP4 system where nobody changed OY04 settings.
I can find CLP (Chilean Peso) in the list with ' ' decimal places, so thats why there are no decimal places allowed.
Check again OY04, if you find an entry for CLP and NOTHING is maintained it means that ZERO dec. places are allowed.
If you find an entry in OY04 with a number of decimal places >0 than this decimal places are allowed.
If there is NO entry for a given currency then its used with 2 decimal places (SAP standard).
So OY04 is only for the currencies that should be treated different as SAP standard.
Best regards, Christian
