Power requirements for travel to the UK

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to travel to the UK with a Think pad X60s? What would be the best power cord and can an external battery charger be used to charge up a battery? Can the battery be left on to charge long enough without overheating?
Thanks!

The AC power supplies that come with ThinkPads are designed to work on both North American (110VAC, 60Hz) and European (240VAC, 50Hz) power sources. They adapt to available power automatically, i.e. there are no switches or other configuration for you to worry about. The only thing you will need is an adapter to convert the standard NA 2-prong plug to the UK's larger 3-prong plug. You can buy such adapter at any travel accessories shop here or in Europe. BTW if your travel plans include the continent then you'll need another adapter with 2 round pins for that. See AC power plugs and sockets especially Type G (UK) and Type C (Europlug).

What is the power requirment for MSI N550GTX-Ti Cyclone II 1G GDDR5/OC

hello guys , i have a simple question and need an answer before buying that card N550 GTX Cyclone II 1G DDR5 OC
what is the power requirment for this card
i have a power supply with 450 Watt Cooler master , is it enough to run this card perfectiy?
another question , what is your opinions about this card? is it good with the new games? and powerfull games? like Max Payne3 and BattleField 3,
The witcher2 ... etc
with Core i5 3470 IvyBridge 3.2GHz ,, and 8GHz Ram 1600 MHz ,, mother board ASUS P8B75-V , Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB HDD?
thanks for this great Forum

the other question please, whats ur opinions about this card? is it ok with powerfull games?
GTX 550 and GTX 650 are budget (mid-range) GPUs.
They are good for everything (including 3D games).
However, in complex 3D games don't expect high FPS values.
If you play games most of the time, you should go for GTX 560 / GTX 660.

Specific Power Requirements For iPods?

+(Yes I searched, no I didn't find this information.)+
I am looking for specific power requirements for multiple iPod models; 1st-Generation iPod touch, 5th-Generation 80GB Video, 3rd & 4th-Generation iPod nano, and 2nd-Generation Shuffle, to be precise.
I am not looking for the obvious information found on the Apple site, such as charge times and USB vs. FireWire. I need more accurate data such as exact mAh and wattage input requirements for each iPod. I know I have chargers that will satisfy the needs of the nanos and 80GB but leave the 1st-Gen touch wanting and waiting for more. At the same time, I do not wish to overload the smaller iPod models like the shuffle.
I have searched Apple.com and the Apple forums as well as Google, but I cannot find this information anywhere.
Please help! I am trying to find suitable alternate power supplies such as solar, crank, and AA/AAA-battery backup sources and I want one that will work with all of my current iPods and hopefully future iPod purchases as well (to include many current iPods). Thank you!

I don't have the info you need on the iPods.
But I have an AC charger bought originally to use with another brand of mp3 player. After I got my iPod, I didn't see the point in buying another AC charger if it would work with iPod, since the company (Griffintechnology) also makes some for iPods. (Of course, I would have to switch out the USB cable to the one that works with iPod, but that's easy enough.) I couldn't find the info on their web site or on Apple's, so I emailed Griffin, and they told me it was safe to use with the iPod. So far, so good.
So I would suggest emailing the maker of the chargers you already own, to check on compatibility. I know Griffin makes them, as does DLO. As far as AA/AAA rechargers, we recently got one from www.adrenalinetechnologies.com (haven't yet used it, though) that's supposed to work with multiple iPod models, and they have multiple adapters and such for different things.

Power Requirements for Micro ATX Boards

hey all,
Are the power requirements for micro ATX boards the same as for ATX boards?
I see micro ATX power supply rated at 250, 230, even 180 Watts and i'm wondering if that can keep a system stable.

To my knowledge of Micro ATX PCB mobos + CPU and RAMs does not really tales up to the power requirements of an ATX PCB mobo + CPU and RAMs, so I think that 300watts will be a good bet.
Power AMPs for individual rails as per:
+3.3v = 20A approx.
+5v = 28A approx.
+12v = 16A approx.

"The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed..."

I realize my explanation of my problem is long-winded, so if you want a shortened version, here it is:
I've followed all the instructions trying nearly everything, and no matter what I do, iTunes gives me the error saying: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software." My G5 iPod (60GB) works on two other computers (both without any music on them), so I assume there something wrong with my computer and not the iPod itself.
Now for the long-winded story of the last eight hours of my life...
I just got the Generation-5 iPod Video (60GB) a today and I'm having problems already. I followed the instructions and installed the iPod software and then plugged in my iPod (iTunes has been on my computer for a while now). I was expecting iTunes to open after plugging in the iPod, but my device manager only detected and installed "a new device". I manually opened iTunes and got an error saying: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
After re-installing the iPod software and iTunes, and restarting my computer countless times, I came looking for help here. I found this page, which seemed to outline my problem exactly. My computer recognizes the iPod as a drive, but iTunes won't have anything to do with it. I have all the symptoms outlined in the heading, so I hoped to solve my problem there. I followed the instructions step-by-step, and after the final restart, I open iTunes to get the same exact error message.
I decided to determine whether there was a problem with my iPod or if it was my computer. I plugged my iPod into my uncles's powerbook, and got to the point where I can name and configure my iPod. I expected it to work flawlessly on a Mac (which it did) but there is no way for me to continue using a Mac (after tomorrow) for my iPod. This formatted the iPod for a Mac, so I went to another (different from the original) Windows computer, clean of any iTunes and iPod software, and followed the instructions exactly as they're supposed to be followed. After the installations, I plugged in my iPod, and although iTunes didn't open, I was able to format back to Windows and name my iPod (a step in the right direction). I should note that my (anti-iPod) computer is a Windows XP Pro, and the working one is Windows XP Home Edition. This was all well and good, until I remembered there was no music on this computer. So my iPod is completely working there, but there isn't anything I can do with it.
Next, I came back here and browsed around the discussion boards, hoping to find somebody with a similar problem to mine. There seems to be alot of errors concerning iTunes not recognizing the iPod, but none of the solutions I tried worked for me, including changing the drive letter. I get the "iPod Service Error" while trying to restore to factory settings through iPod updater.
Of course, I could transfer all 32GB of music from one computer to another, but the second (working) computer isn't mine and I won't have access to it in a couple months. It would be most convenient if I could get my iPod working on my own computer. Any help would be appreciated, especially from somebody who has solved this problem or know how to solve this problem.
P.S.
Here are some other minor details that my be important, but I didn't feel they were worth including.
- My brother has his iPod mini set up on my computer, under a different user login. He gets the same error once in a while, but re-installing iTunes always solves the problem for him. I had him try solving my problem his way, but nothing worked for him either.
- My computer is an AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+, 512MB RAM with Windows XP Pro SP2 installed. My internal hard drive is partitioned, using the letters C, D and H (C being my system files, D used for recovery files and H for my applications and games). My E drive is used as a DVD/CD-ROM Drive, and drives F and G are reserved for virtual drives (none have been running during this entire ordeal). My external hard drive uses the letter I, and I manually set my iPod to use the letter J (I've never used 'J' for anything else before).
- Yes, I have downloaded and installed the latest versions of iTunes and the iPod software.
- I'm assuming there is a problem with my computer and not my iPod, since it worked on both other computers I tried. I'm hoping it's as simple as changing a registry file or cleaning out (yet another) temp directory.

Solution to "Software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed"!
I battled this same problem for about 5 hours. Going through re-installations, the "5 R's", all these discussion boards. Nothing worked.
The problem is that iPodService was repeatedly crashing after minute or so. You can verify this by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Delete and noting that iPodService is missing from the process list (sort by image name), or by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting "Manage", then going to Services and checking out the IPodService service - if it gives you the option to "Start", then it's not running.
Here is what worked.
1. De-install iTunes and iPod (if you have the updater installed) completely by going to Start --> Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs. Also delete the C:\Program Files\iTunes and c:\Progam Files\iPod\bin directories. (Don't worry, this doesn't affect your saved music files.)
2. Log in as an Administrator
3. Go into the registry (note this is dangerous - you should be careful) and remove the iPod entries that the uninstaller misses.
3.1 Go to Start menu --> Run.
3.2 Type in "regedit".
3.3 Go to HKEYCLASSESROOT --> IPodService.iPodManager.
There are two keys here, iPodManager and iPodManager.1. In my case, I did not have permission to view either of these. I think this is the root cause of the problem. I think the installer can't properly update these because it doesn't have permission. So you need to change the permissions:
3.4 Right-click on IPodService.IPodManager
3.4.1 Select "Permissions..." A warning will appear saying you don't have permission, but that you can change permissions.
3.4.2 On the window that launches, click on "Advanced..."
3.4.3 Click on the "Owner" tab.
3.4.4 Select a valid account (the one you're logged in under) under "Change Owner To".
3.4.5 Hit "OK".
3.4.6 Back on the main Permissions window, hit Add and add the same account as a valid user.
3.4.6.1 Where it says "Enter the object names to select", type in the account name, e.g. "Smith".
3.4.7 Click on the "Allow" checkboxes for "Full Control" and "Read".
3.4.8 Hit "OK".
3.5 Repeat procedure for the "iPodManager.1" key.
3.6 Now right-click and delete both of these keys.
I think that's all that's required, but I also searched through the registry and deleted the following keys.
4. Other keys I deleted:
4.1 HKEYCLASSESROOT --> IPodManager.IPodManagerUI.1
4.2 HKEYLOCALMACHINE --> SOFTWARE --> Apple Computer Inc. --> iPod
I think that's all I deleted, but I'm not positive. I seached for instances of "ipod" using the Find... and Find Next functions under the Edit menu.
5. Exit out of the registry editor.
6. Re-install iTunes. I re-installed iTunes and reconnected the iPod, and everything worked.
I want to repeat that editing the registry can completely mess up your computer if you modify the wrong things, so only do this if you're comfortable, and be extremely careful.
Hopefully this helps!

SOLUTION to "Software required for communicating with the iPod is not insta

Folks, I can not take credit for this.....you should send your checks to MarkinMadison. I've included his post in it's entirety. For me, this was the Holy Grail !!
My only comment is make sure when you are in the registry that you hit the "apply" button to change and add things.
This probably won't solve everyone's problem but it clearly solved mine (and I tried all other "solutions"), as well as Mark's.
Apple: please find out who MarkinMadison is and either cut him a big check or offer him free Ipods for life.

I have also posted the same question, earlier today. I purchased two for my children and cannot get the iPod to communicate with the computer. I have the iTunes software on my system, but during the installation process I cannot click the NEXT button, once I plug the iPod cable in. The computer does not detect it. I have tried all 6 USB 2.0 ports. I even removed the Dell Jukebox and MusicMatch programs. I am not a computer savvy person - just a mom who wants to give these to my children for Christmas. This is the first "chat" site I have even registered on. I am so very frustrated. Hopefully, this can be resolved.

Power Requirements for the V490

We are ready to install a V490 and I can't find the appropriate information regarding the electrcal requirements for the V490. All I get is the standard "AC Power --- 200 - 240 VAC, 47 - 63 Hz, 2078 VA". With 2 power supplies, the AC requirements do not list as per power supply or per system. Does anyone know the requirements for each power supply? The electricians won't start till they get confirmation on the requirements.
Thanks

ThanksEach power supply is capable of powering the entire server, so each will need the full input if the other supply fails.

Power requirements for the x-fi fatal

I was wondering if anyone can tell me how much power this card draws from the power supply. I have a 500W power supply a 2.8ghz prescott processor and 2 gigs of RAM with a 6800GT video card. Since adding the X-fi my video card always tells me on startup that it's having to drop performance because it's not getting enough power. The problem started after adding the x-fil so I'm just wondering if the x-fi is taking too much juice away from the video card and if I need to upgrade my power supply I need to know how high i need to go

Get a quality power supply. I have PC P&C 50 SLI power supply and it's running without hiccu
ps.
My system has 3 SATA dri'ves, 3 fans, overclock Opteron 75, overclock 7800GT, XFi Platinum.
You can't go wrong on Seasonic or PC P&C power supply.

Need a reliable power adapter for travel

I am traveling to Russia in a few weeks and I need a good power adapter for my Mac Book Pro, iphone, and other small devices such as a shaver. I don't want to spend $40-50 on the Apple travel kit. Does anyone know of a good adapter kit or can lead me to a site. This is my first time in Europe and Russia and I will be there for 2 weeks and I plan to use my laptop, camcorder, and camera a ton.

All you need is an AC prong adapter and, if you can't find what you need on the web, you'll be able to find one in Russia for a small handful of rubles.

Power Requirements for MacBook Pro 13 inch

Are there lower power requirments for the 13 inch MBP from the 15 and 17 inch?
I understand that the 15 and 17 require 85 watts of power output, but when I was shopping for a power inverter, they mention a 60 watt would work for the 13 inch MBP.
Mostly curious. Most of the power inverters I am looking at offer more than enough output (100 watts+).
Thanks in advance.

Yes, the smaller models use smaller batteries that do not require as high a charging power or power to run with no battery present.
If you were to use an inverter to convert DC to AC then it's a good idea to get one with a power capability about twice what will be connected to it in order to allow for surges.

Power Requirement for AP 1500

Hi Sir,
I found the following from Mesh 1500 datasheet for its power requirement,
95?260 VAC, 47?63 Hz
Power over Ethernet: 48 VDC, +/?10 percent
However, my contractor requested me to give him in Watt as UPS is provided to it. Can anyone show me the formula to do so?
Thank you.
Delon

The basic rule of physics that "watts = volts x amps" is based on direct current (DC) circuits. AC is more efficient but when it hits the transformers, it suffers from reactance.
Reactance reduces the useful power (watts) available from the apparent power (volt-amperes). Power Factor (PF) is the ratio of these two numbers. Therefore, the actual power formula for AC circuits is "watts = volts x amps x power factor." Unfortunately, the PF is rarely stated but generally is a number of 1.0 or less, and about the only thing with a 1.0 PF is a light bulb.
Figure out total loading of product Amps (A) Watts (W).
Multiply voltage by amps (V x A).
VA x 135%= the size of the UPS you would need.
* Estimated Average Growing Space 135%
(Amps)
A. Ex: 1 PC= 2A 1 Monitor=1.5A, Total= 3.5A
3.5A x 120V= 420VA x 130%= 546VA.
B. Ex: 1 DVR = 300 Watts, 5 CCTV = 350 Watts, Total = 650 Watts
W = P.F. x VA, Direct UPS JP X series P.F = 0.7 & VP series = 0.6
650 W = 0.7 x VA , VA =650w/0.7, Total Loading = 929VA
Right size UPS: 929 VA x 135% = 1254VA.
The recommended size UPS for example a. is 600VA
The recommended size UPS for example b. is 1400VA

Power requirements for surge protector?

I want to get a surge protector that will support the power requirements of a Macpro and a 30-inch cinema display. I would also like it for an Airport Extreme and an external FW drive, though those are not as important for being on the same outlet, they can be on a different one if necessary. What should I look for in terms of power ratings, etc.
Thanks!

Stanwelks,
I sit near a forest of cables and had that problem. The instruction books on the Display and the Macpro have information enabling you to work out the Amperage they use. One can derive amperage from a stated wattage knowing your voltage. I know mine I don't know yours. Here in UK most residential wall sockets take up to 13 Amps. Most plug blocks say they are good for 13 Amps. So in the train it is the smallest capacity of link, socket or plug block , that matters.
I had to put some devices (the display and MacPro were the worst 'offenders', on a separate wall socket linked to my 'lair' by a long cable. There was slight leeway to the 13Amps so a printer (seemingly of low amperage) is added.
The other things you mention are small amperage but check. It is a good idea to work out the amperage of each device you have if you can.

Power requirements for a 1042 mesh network

this note is from the 5508 controller config manual, does this apply to 1040 access points in a mesh network?
Note:The recommended power source for MAPs is either a power supply or power injector. PoE is not a recommended power source for MAPs.

No, that would be about the 15xx series of MESH AP.
