Power Socket - Install Query

Hiya, my master socket is in my hallway, of which there is no power socket within the vacinity.
My desktop computer is upstairs in a spare room, and in that room, I've wired an extension lead myself, and use that for ADSL broadband.
I understand that if I sign up to BT Infinity, that I need a power socket nearby, so that the router can be plugged in.
So really, what I'm asking is, will the Engineer move the master socket? Or will the Engineer be able to run the CAT5 cable from the master socket downstairs up the stairs and into my computer room?
I tried to find out prior to ordering by using "Chat" on BT's website, however, the advice given wasn't very helpful, as I was told that there may be a charge, what for, the advisor didn't know, and couldn't confirm anything.
So, I'd appreciate any help / advice on this issue, as I want to know where I stand before placing an order.
Cheers in advance

Actually you need 2 power sockets. One for the Active NTE and one for the Home Hub3.
These 2 devices are joined together using standadrd cat5 cabling which the BTOR enginner wil supply one up to 30M
As for moving the extension the answer is probably. Just remember to offer them tea & biscuts when they call.
Oh they're also partial to bacon sandwiches.
Basically all engineers are like pets, if you feed & water them then it keeps them happy and they'll do tricks for you ;o)
DISCLAIMER: although I work in the industry I do not work for BT and any opinions given are purely my own.

Do I need a transformer to plug my iMac into an Italian power socket?

I've just moved from Seattle, Washington to Milan, Italy. The iMac specifications say it can handle 110 to 250 volts and 50 to 60 hertz power. Do I simply buy a US-to-Italian power-socket adapter and plug it in or do I need a special transformer?

No transformer required - just the adapter!

Hi syvliebaby88888888,
If you are having issues with recharging your iPhone's battery, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
In particular, this section -
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Power socket on logic board

I've just put a new optical drive in a 12" 1ghz Powerbook and in the process have had a bit of a mishap...the power socket came undone from the logic board. This is the bit that connects the cable that runs from the power button to the logic board. The connector didn't come out of the socket, the whole socket came off. Seems like a large problem...any ideas what the best coarse of action is? Hopefully don't have to replace the entire logic board. Good repair places in the UK would also be welcome.
any help will be appreciated.

hi david,
I just found out today that it's been repaired. Basically, there was no way I was going to try and fix it, so I brought it in to one shop that said "nope, gotta replace the logic board," but i didn't trust them, and so i sent it off to another repair place, who fixed it today--tested, all back in action.
BIG sigh of relief. £80 instead of around £400.
So basically, it depends on how bad the board was damaged when the connector came off. I happened to get lucky (after persevering with a second opinion!)
If you find a GOOD repair house, not a lazy one that just goes for the easy and expensive fix, then you may be in luck. I'm in the UK, and I can HIGHLY recommend VIS Mac Parts as a repair house.
http://www.applemacparts.com/
In fact, nearly everyone I spoke to along the way said it would require a new logicboard, so: don't listen to them, and find someone who has the knowhow (and honesty) to repair it.
hope this helps & best of luck!!!

Mac pro too slow to use, spinning ball, no finder response, only hard power off, installing system stalls at 18 minutes left.

mac pro too slow to use, spinning ball, no finder response, only hard power off, installing system stalls at 18 minutes left.
It is taking an hour to power up and mac apple logo appear onscreen. No finder controls or "clicks" are being recognized. Spinning beachball all the time.
Using hard power off and holding the mouse down, I was able to open the optical drive and then restart with "c" and ask the dvd to reinstall the system, but it has stalled before finishing the installation.
This happened about 4 days ago, first it started responding slowly, and then it just keeps spinning the beachball. I can't find hardware test. I did run etrecheck, it did not have any error messages, but I can't copy or move the data anywhere.... I am not able to access the mac pro with another machine, and now I am stuck in install freeze, so I can't copy etrecheck by hand onto a piece of paper.
Without being able to finish a reinstall, what can I try?
After it got bad, and before it got REALLY bad, I managed to repair permissions, but it took a long time. Most of a day. When I restarted from that, things were only worse.
Mac Pro 1,1 , 11 GB ram, 7300, 5TB hard drives, OS 10.6.8, the drive containing the system folder is/was 700 used, 290 free. While I could get commands to respond, I put Activity monitor on the desktop and watched it. System memory was 3.31 GB used, about 7 free, and some wired. No app was using a huge amount.
what should I try next? I put a bid on a new/old machine so that I could move the 4 hard drives over.

Thank you for all your suggestions. Please correct me as I articulate this.
I have three versions( 5, 6, CC) of the Adobe Master Collection which I keep active for different clients. I have final cut and motion. I have Office 365. I have a collection of graphic apps that are individually not too big but in all, my app folder is 65GB and my bootcamp partition is 61GB. I can't fit all this on 120 ssd and a 256 will be full once I install, correct? drives should be half open?
Somehow I did not make it clear enough that I was trying to copy onto a 2TB drive I had just initiallized in order to try and save files from my startup drive. I don't use time machine. I take a day or a few days worth of documents and physically move them to another drive at night. If a series is finished I make two dvd's as well. The second black drive that was failing was the drive I moved my backup documents onto. At no point was I trying to backup onto the failing drives. I was trying to copy off both of them onto the other two drives, a third aux backup that has been there for a while, and a newish 2 TB which I designated as the startup drive when all this trouble started.
I wondered if there were any good techniques for trying to get the data off the failing drive. Thanks for the suggestion of Data Rescue 3. I don't have it yet, but I will try it as soon as I get it. I was never trying to repair in place.
I am very interested in getting a pci bracket and an ssd, but I may wait until I can afford the larger one. If I get an older bracket that is compatible with my old mac pro 1,1 , I'd like to be able to move it to a mac pro 3,1 if I get one. Will the larger ssd drives be compatible with the sata in a pci bracket that can work in my mac pro 1,1 ? sata 2 versus something else? If 240 or 256 is my size limit, how much more than my 65 and 61 GB partitions can I put on there? How much of a scratch disc can I make if I leave another 39 GB of headroom on my bootcamp partition? I'm filling 165 GB without making any allowance for temp files.
You have said that 120 is enough for any system. I think I must be misunderstanding something. Are you saying that assuming that most people run office and photoshop and maybe lightroom?
I have and use 4 HDD in this machine, mostly for document storage in two places.
I took out all but the group of 2GB ram chips I bought a year and a half ago. The old ram had passed the hardware test the last time I had access to the hardware test. Two black drives failed, one was a year old and one was a year and a half old, and that it may have been exacerbated by the heat wave. I don't know why the video and the monitor were affected save that the startup drive was failing. I am trying to replace the card.
With all this said, I am also looking at a used mac pro 3,1 with a better video card since a newer machine will likley be compatible through another OS upgrade. If a machine costs only a little more than a new card, it might be a better way to go.
I don't have any sources that offer an ssd for 100. ( of a size that is useful)
How large is your application folder?

Cord from monitor power socket??

I wanted to power my monitor from the power socket on the AGP's back, but had trouble figuring out exactly what kind of cord I needed. I Googled repeatedly, but was using the wrong terms--"power cord"--when what I really need is an IEC EXTENSION cable/ cord.
Here's one such cord--

Power Socket Damaged -- Need Access to Replace

I want to repair the power socket on my iBook DualUSB model, and need access to it in order to make the repair.
I am trying to remove the bezel which surrounds the keyboard, and have removed all the screws, ribbon cable, and undone the snap tabs that I could locate.
The bezel remains attached in only one location, just below (towards the keyboard) and to the left of the magnet which (I think) senses the presence of the keyboard. I can not locate any remaining screw (top side, nor under the foil on the bottom side of the chassis)fastening the bezel at this point; maybe there is a tab holding the bezel in place, but I can't seem to slide the bezel out from under such a tab (if indeed it is a tab that's holding the bezel down).
Any ideas?
I have a photo of the situation, but don't know how or if I can post it to the Apple forums.

Hi, Peter. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Assuming yours is the 12-inch model, you can find the instructions on replacing the DC-in board here:

Visual Studio 2010 SharePoint Power Tools installed but templates not appearing

Can someone please help me, i installed this on my dev machine with VS2010, it says it installed correctly, and i can see it on the extension manager, but when i try to start a new project, the sharepoint project node does not appear! I tried to unninstall
this extension trough add or remove programs, then installed VS2010 SP1, then installed it again! the same result! One thing that caught my attention is that in the extension manager both buttons (disable and unninstall) are disabled what a paradox! Anyway,
can someone please help me with this? Jorge Alvarado

Hi Ryan,
Well, I agree with everything that you have said, my SharePoint dlls should be on the GAC given that my SharePoint installation was installed correctly, so that shouldn't be an issue, about the Visual Studio, i was using VS 2010 Premium, so that
maybe shouldn't be an issue neither, now about the SharePoint Developer Tools check box, I saw that option when I tried to install VS2010 trial recently downloaded from the Microsoft Site, however that option was not present when i used the
disc that the IT Department gave me a few months ago, maybe THAT discs was from last year and the SharePoint Power Tools option was not included with the installer, so THAT COULD BE AN ISSUE.
Now, just to get something clear for someone else that could have this problem, the installation of SharePoint 2010 was correct, the VS2010 Premium was correct (the initial SharePoint Power tools option was not a feature of the installer),
and then the SharePoint Power tools installler downloaded from the Visual Studio Gallery was correct! but when you tried to start a new SharePoint project, the SharePoint tab (which usually comes with two more sub-tabs one from SP2007 and one from SP2010
) was not there. If you looked at the extension manger, you could see the SharePoint Power Tools installed but the buttons to disable and unninstall were DISABLED!
CONCLUSION:
Try to use the most updated bits from the VS2010 installer at least if you expect to use the SharePoint 2010 Power Tools
I hope this information could help someone else.
Thanks all for your help guys!

I am using for Autocad my Windows HP Laptop. However i want to shift to Apple world and plan to buy new MBAir 13". Is it has enough power to install bootcamp and run Autocad.

I am using for Autocad my Windows HP Laptop. However i want to shift to Apple world and plan to buy new MBAir 13". Is it has enough power to install bootcamp and run Autocad?

I don't know, but I would assume that the MBA can install and can run Autocad with Boot Camp.
The question is more, can the software be effectively used with such a small display.
Audocad and vector packages such as Adobe Illustrator are typically run using large screens, so a lack of display real estate may mean the process is frustrating, even if it is possible.
I face the same thing - I am considering an MBA 13" and need to run Illustrator, and that would mean a lot of scrolling.
I think you would be advised to ensure you bought an MBA with a high specification of processor and memory to give yourself the best chance of success.
Is there a Mac version of Autocad you could switch to, to make for less complication? I've managed to shift all but one of my Windows applications to OS X now, and only occasionally use Windows on the system.

T430 unable to sleep with Lenovo Power Manager installed

I have a T430 with Windows 8 installed with the latest BIOS and Lenovo Power Manager installed, and anytime I try to put the computer to sleep(with Fn+F4 or lid close), the laptop enters a stage where the screen is black and the fan continues to run. There's no way to interact/escape this except for holding down the power button.
After uninstalling Lenovo Power Manager, the sleep function works again, but the Mic Mute and caps-lock on screen display stop working in addition to the LED in the MicMute refusing to light up.
Is there any fix to this?

I'm having the same problem. I've tried all the updates and still have the problem. Sometimes it will sleep, other times it won't. Sometimes when it is trying to sleep I get a bluescreen for "DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE."

REQ: Powerbook G4 Mercury Power socket Schematic needed or similar!

Hi,
My Power socket became damaged due to the end pin breaking off from the power plug into the socket. I successfully removed the broke off pin and soldered a standard 2.5" stereo plug onto the Power supply but the socket was never the same as the internal sprung pins became bent and damaged.
I have desoldered the power socket and took it apart successfully but i can see it will never be able to be fixed properly, so i need to replace it or substitute it for another type of socket.
One thing, i cant work out what pin on the power lead went to what connector within the socket as the socket is so damaged and wont buzz through properly with a meter so im stuck as to what positive or negative power went to where on the logic board.
Looking from the back of the socket i have the outer shell (the side lights i think?) then 3 pins from left to right. 1 i know isnt used? and the others +24V and negative.
Please Help!
Cheers in advance!

Hi, fznuk, and welcome to Apple Dscussions. Apple does not publish schematics, because even Apple's own service technicians have no use for them: component-level repairs are not cost-effectve and are never done. Schematics just aren't available, period.

No power when power socket insert firmly

Hi Gurus,
The problem is power socket on 845PE Neo board.
When I inserted power connector into it firmly and push power on, there was no power. But I pulled back that connector little upward, means semi inserted, is OK.
The connector of PSU is OK on other board. And I also changed 3 more PSU.
I thought there may be some loose lead back of that connector, but there is no that sign. The problem is inner part of that PCB layers?

It work as long as the end of the day if not power down and on again.
Sometime it works, some time it doesn't.
I don't think that is connector.
Becuase that connector work well on other board.
