Precautions on the MagSafe2 adapter:  Laptop can drag to floor.

I have several Mac laptops using the original MagSafe adapter.   On rare occasion someone has tripped on the power transformer or wire and the MagSafe came out of the computer and nothing was harmed.  That's because of the higher profile and the straight exit of the cord.
The new MagSafe2 right angle and lower profile configuration can be  problematic.   Because the original MagSafe projected away from the computer, pulling at most angles caused the LED head to be pulled from the computer.  BUT the right angle and smaller profile of the MagSafe2 has posed a problem.   Twice this year pulling on the cord has dragged the laptop off the table crashing to the floor.
To remedy this, have used Glue to loop the wire back to the charging piece so that in effect it becomes like the original MagSafe.  This way pulling in most directions allows release of the charging piece from the laptop, whereas otherwise the computer whould have been dragged across the table and possibly to the floor. An alternative would be to decrease the magnetic attraction so that a gentle unexpected tug on the MagSafe2 disengages the head from the laptop.

Well a few weeks ago someone posted how easy the new adapter comes out of the socket on the Mac. So easily that they did not know it had disconnected and there mac shut down for lack of battery power.
Now you post how it doesn't come out and can take the system off whatever it is sitting on if the cord is snagged.
IMHO both of these problems are USER FAULTS and has nothing to do with the Magnetic connection between the adapter and the notebook. But hey I may be wrong. I have been in the past.
EDIT:
Oh and the angled adapter has been out for a few years now.
Suggestion:
Don't place the power cord in an area that it can get snagged by someone walking by.

    Are you able to receive any mail at all? If not, make sure that all of your information for mail is accurate in settings again. if you still have nothing, go to your email through safari.

    I think in general Oracle BPEL does not handle large collections well. Another post made reference to the large performance gap between the apache xml parser and the oracle xml parser.
    You could invoke a service that processes a subset of the larger collection. I know this is a very ugly workaround, but it is one way around the large collection problem.

  • Little white box on the numbers, stops playback, can drag it back in time but not forward, can't figure out how to delete it, how do I get rid of this thing?

    On the numbers that show where you are on a track, appeared a little white box. It stops the playback, I can move it left, or back in time, but not right, or forward in time. How can I delete this thing?

    Thanks for the replies. Yes it's the end of song marker-I didn't put it there. It appeared, a bug I guess?
    In this instance it could only be dragged left for some reason. I was working on another file and it did let me drag it right, maybe the the non-dragability was a bug too. It's all moot, because I went back to the file and it's blank! But I can start again, I have the WAV.
    I am a novice of long standing with antiquated hardware and software, but I'm having fun and creating some useful audio. Really appreciate the help.

  • Restore the view so I can drag div widths across columns.

    I am working in DW CC and on a fluid grid layout. When I first started building the page, I had the view options where I could drag the width of the div to change the number of columns the div would span. I was also able to hit the "up" button and was able to push that div up to the line above it. Say, for creating horizontal navigation.
    Now I don't know how to make these view options return. Could someone please help me? I want to be able to drag the wdith of my divs again. Thanks for your help!

    Thank you for your prompt response Nancy. I am not sure if I have changed the boilerplate file. I guess I could have changed something by accident, but I know I did not intentionally change anything. Also, I do not have a FluidGrid.css file. Yikes! How do I get that?
    I have the following files:
    bolierplate.css
    contentsyle.css (my externaly style sheet)
    index3.html
    images (folder)
    respond.min.js
    style3.css
    I don't have these pages hosted live anywhere yet since I am still building it. Would it help if I posted the code of one of these files?
    Thanks again for your help. I really do appreciate it.

  • Accesing additional files in the sender adapter

    Hi,
    I'd like to use this option in the sender file adapter: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/44/692ab8a4b633eae10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
    --> "In the sender file adapter, you can specify additional files to be included in the XI message as attachments" ... "Additional files are transported unchanged without conversion options"
    After testing I'm getting two files in the soap message, which is what I wanted. But how can I get the content of the second file (not the main one).
    For example, in a custom module in the file adapter I can get the main payload as this:
    public ModuleData process(ModuleContext moduleContext, ModuleData inputModuleData)
                                       throws ModuleException {
    Message msg = (Message) inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
    I guess that to get the second file it could be something like:
    inputModuleData.getSupplementalData("?");
    but don't really know what to insert there as a parameter.
    Basically I would need to find out a way to access the content of that second file: it could be in a custom module, it could be in a graphical or java mapping...
    Thanks!
    Edited by: Jorge Lopez on Mar 17, 2009 11:09 AM

    Finally I could access that attachment in a Java mapping using this code:
    private String getAttachment(TransformationInput in){
         InputAttachments inpAttach = in.getInputAttachments();
         Collection<String> collIDs = inpAttach.getAllContentIds(true);
         Object[] arrayObj = collIDs.toArray();
         getTrace().addInfo("Number of attachments: " + arrayObj.length);
         String idAttachment = (String) arrayObj[0];
         return new String(inpAttach.getAttachment(idAttachment).getContent());
    and so getting the attachment in a string.
    You also have to set on the flag "Read Attachments" in the Operation Mapping (PI 7.1, old Interface Mapping), so that the ABAP side passes the attachment to the Java runtime.
    I'm not sure if it's possible to access the attachment in the sender adapter in a custom module

  • What's the WS adapter and how to use it?

    Hi,
    When I create Comunication channel, i need to select adapter type.
    one of the adapter types is WS adapter?
    I searched in help portal and sdn, but can't find any information.
    Who know WS adapter and how to use it?
    Could youplease provide such information.
    Thanks in advance,
    Best Regards, Johnney.

    >>In SAP XI / PI, WS adapter is not thier frm standard SAP.
    Are you sure about this?
    WS is a standard adapter shipped along with PI 7.1 installation.
    Quote from help.sap.com
    Using the WS adapter you can configure the communication of systems, which communicate with each other using the Web service runtime either directly (point-to-point) or using the Integration Server
    Refer:

    Hi!
    First please confirm whether you are working on XI or PI 7.1 ?
    because in XI you need to generate WSDL manaually via Tools>Define Web service-Giving Input..and in XI you need to test the SOAP scenario from external tool like Altova xml spy tool kit or else SOAP client tool.
    In PI 7.1::
    You can publish directly the web service in the SERVICE REGISTRY from sender agreement onwards.
    once it is published you can check the status on your interface in service registry as CONFIGURED..Okay
    Here you can test directly in service registry...
    According to your error check ocne agan even though you gone through all the steps..
    1. Check whether the SOAP service is active or not in SICF>SAP>bc>XI>Service-->SOAP.
    2. sicne after generating wSDL u can get one url right that URL itself acts as  a gateway to enter the source data into XI..
    lets give to the source team to try with XI super uID adn PWD as authentification.
    3. Also please STOP ur communication Channel and start once again.
    4. Please check whether the WEB Service is configured correctly or not.
    Regards::

    WHow long have you left it to charge?  Have you tried resetting it after a short period of time to see if that can help jumpstart the charging process? To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • Can the power adapter plug be replaced?

    My poxy laptop slipped off the chair and landed directly on the power plug. I don't have a battery for the PB at the moment so power via the adapter was my only way of using it. Short of buying an entire new adapter I was wondering if the plug that goes into the laptop can be replaced since that was the only bit that broke. The rest of the adapter is all fine so it seems a bit overkill having to buy a whole new adapter just to replace the plug.

    Your best bet will probably be to find a dead adapter with a good plug attached to it, cut off the plug and splice it onto your adapter cord. I've never found a source for the plug you need. I suspect it was made to Apple's order and isn't generally available.
