Question about MagSafe connector disconnecting

Hi there, I`m a new user of Mac, and I have, of course, a stupid question.
Before, I`v disconnect my MS connector (T connector), straight, pulling straight to back, for a couple of times. NOT from the DC cord, but from the connector, but I did not know I have to tilting up, down, left or right. this was just for couple of times, I remind you.
It was something wrong? Apple don`t say is wrong or not, they say nothing refer to this.
So, I did it wrong, something is happening, something inside the MBP? It was pulling, disconnecting hard, but was out after a short while
So i need an answer, and I promise from now I`m gonna tilting!

Dorin,
You haven't done anything wrong, your MB is OK. The connector is magnetically attached so tilting just makes it easier to break the magnetic connection.
Don't pull on the DC cord because that will eventually weaken or break the wire inside the cord.

Question regarding magsafe connector

i would just like to ask if the magsafe connector which is a magnet accidentally touched the adapter for like 30 seconds? would it damage the adapter?

No damage should occur.

Question about MagSafe Power Adapter

I just got a new magsafe power adapter and wanted to know if leaving it connected to the electricity for too long damage it?
Last question, my battery is dead, should I take it off andrun on the adapter, or just leave the battery on?
A friend of mine told me tht "dead batteries" ruin power adapter?
Thanks all

I'm afraid you should buy a new battery, Frank.
Running on the power adaptor alone will slow down your MBP. - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2332
Running with a seriously defective battery installed, though, may not only place a heavy load on your adaptor but may result in the battery deforming (causing other damage) or worse.
Leaving your adaptor plugged into the power when not being used probably won't hurt it, but it will use more electricity than a fluoro lightbulb.

Elitepad 900 Charging difficulties and a question about the connector

Hi.
I have an ElitePad 900 running Windows 8.1 Pro.
The unit was a demonstrator model but came with warranty etc. I am having a lot of difficulty charging the unit. The power unit end is fine but the piece that goes into the Elitepad is not all that firm - I have to get the thing it the slot "just so" and then put it down very carefully so that it maintains contact. Also, it frequently stays connected, and advises that it is plugged in but says it is not charging. Why would it do that - surely if it knows it's plugged in and the battery needs charging it should just do it, not sit idle.
Any ideas on how to make this work better?
Second, I have a Connector that came with it. It has a piece that goes intot he Elitepad on one end and at the other end it has a slot for a USB cable. I assume this is to transfer stuff from external drives and cameras etc. Will it also transfer files from my Laptop if I buy a USB/USB cable? Seems simple enough to me but I'm wondering why it didn't come with one if it is needed to connect to a laptop.
thanks

Okay, I have determined that it is an optical output. What I want to know now is how I can convert that to a stereo output.

Portege R500 - Question about SSD Connector

Hello,
Can somebody tell me what connector is on the SSD's of a R500?
It is NOT a standard ZIF connector...
I have a broken r500 laptop and would like to extract the data from it that is still on there.
Is there any convertor I can buy?
Thank you

As far as I know SSDs have the same connector as all other SATA HDDs used in notebooks.
You can buy external HDD case for SATA HDDs and connect your HDD to some other notebook as external one. So you will have access to your data.

Basic questions about Notes domino connector

Hi,
I have a very basic question about the Lotus Domino connector for OIM. We have a requirement to provision accounts into the domino mail server and while doing that also update some information directly into a separate nsf file.
I checked the documentation and it seems while configuring an IT resource, we need to give the Mail DB path, and thats the only place where it refers to it.
Could you guys please let me know if this can be done? Can I write directly to a different nsf file, which is not like provisioning to the complete mail server. So the other attributes in the IT resource may not be able to be set up as its just the file I need to provision into.
Looking forward to your response.
Thanks, M

Hello folks, please share your experience working with the lotus notes connector.
Thanks, M

Questions about the ipod camera connector...

Hi,
i got some questions about the ipod camera connector.
1)Is the camera connector compatible with the Sony camera DSC-P93A ?
In fact, this camera got PTP protocol.
PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) Oui
Marque PIM (Print Image Matching) Oui
PictBridge™ Oui
So, do the camera need to have the three following protocols to be compatible with the camera connector ?
=>Mass Storage, PTP, and Type 4
Or maybe does it need only one of it??
2) Is it compatible with a USB memory card reader?
Thank you

Wel, if i've right understood what you said, my camera is compatible because it got PTP protocol ?
That's weird, cause i wrote a mail to sony to ask them about the compatibility of my camera, but they answered that it wasn't. But of course, i'll prefer to believe you than them !

Hello, can i use the new magsafe connector on a mac pro from 2008?

Hello, I have a mac pro 15' from 2008, and the connector just stop working, in fact I have 2 connectors, because I broke a mac pro brand new, and then I had to buy this one, so both connectors stop working all of a sudden, and now when I went to Apple Store, the anwwer I got was "is not possible to repair" and we don't have to deliver before 4 months. I am atonished! 4 months?? How is that possible, and they show to me in Apple online the answer and it say 4 months indeed. Now I am looking to the new magsafe connector, that was made to the new mac pro and the deliver is the next day. My question is
can I use this one on my mac pro from 2008? Because i reada few things that there were complains that the new did not work. Can i get some help one this please?

Guys we have a legit question here about a power cord and you guys are going back and forth here. If you guys want to ccontinue can you please just give each other your emails.
ANYWAY - What I know of the magsafe cord is s different sized port.
All magsafe plugs fit in all magsafe sockets, no exception. Your only concern is that the power output of the supply be equal to or greater than the computer into which it is plugged.

Audigy 2 ZS: questions about TAD connect

The drivers for my motherboard?s onboard sound were causing problems, so I replaced the onboard sound with an Audigy 2 ZS card. It is fantastic! I am not having any problems, but there are some questions about its use the answers to which I have not been able to glean from the manual or the online knowledge base. Since my questions involve three different issues, I am making three different posts. I hope this doesn?t violate some kind of posting rule. If it does, I apologize. I certainly will appreciate any help anyone can give me.
I have a USR 2976 voice modem in a PCI slot next to my new Audigy 2 ZS card. The 2976 modem is very common; but since it is OEM, US Robotics? support consists essentially of acknowledging its existence. I would like to make a TAD connection between the sound card and modem in order to use the sound card in a speakerphone setup. The modem has only one side connector and it looks identical to the TAD connector on my Audigy 2ZS, but I don?t know its pinouts. (I found the Audigy card?s TAD pinouts online.) Since my optical dri'ves use digital audio extraction, I don?t need the CD audio cable that went from one optical dri've to the motherboard?s CD sound in connector; and I disconnected it. The CD audio cable fits only one way into both the sound card TAD connector and the modem?s similar 4-pin connector. Would I be safe in connecting the modem and sound card together using the CD audio cable even though I don?t know the modem?s pinouts for its connector? Are most modems consistent in this?
The CD cable is fairly long. I would need only a very sort cable to connect the two adjacent cards, but I have not been able to find a short one. Does anyone know a source or if there is a specific name for a short cable for this purpose? (I have had no luck googling ?TAD cable?.)

BigBen,
I'll answer your questions here point by point (for clarity).
) No, that won't be possible. A line input is only stereo, so all you'll receive signal-wise is just a stereo stream. You'll need a coaxial or optical input to get that signal to the card (only available on the Platinum dri'ves).
2) In theory that could work, yes, the connections are there. That isn't something we would have tested (or support), though.

Few questions about difference between Satellite P70 , L70, S70

Hello, i have many questions about the series P70 , L70, S70 that come with a 1920x1080 panel.
1) What are the differences between the L70 and S70 series? Except of the HDD capacity and RAM, the notebooks look pretty identical.
2) Do P70 , L70, S70 support a 2nd HDD or is it just the P70 series that support it ?
3) Do all three (P70, L70, S70 series) come with the same TFT Panels ?
4) Which of the above series supports mSata ?
5) Do all of the model of each series come with a mSata support? E.g. Could it be that L70-a-13m supports mSata while the L70-a-146 does not ?
6) All of the above, come with a S-ATA II or S-ATA III interface ?
7) Which is the best of those series listed ? I am trying to understand what makes the big difference from S70 to P70 except of the casing for example.
Thank you in advance.

>1) What are the differences between the L70 and S70 series? Except of the HDD capacity and RAM, the notebooks look pretty identical.
What Sat L70 and S70 models do you mean exactly? There are different L70-xxx and S70-xxx models on the market which supports different hardware specifications.
>2) Do P70 , L70, S70 support a 2nd HDD or is it just the P70 series that support it?
As you can see in this [Sat P70 HDD replacement document,|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/CRU3903II0000R01.htm] the P70 series supports 2nd HDD bay BUT even if there is an 2nd HDD bay this does not mean that you could use 2nd HDD. In case the 2nd HDD bay would be equipped with HDD connector, you could use the 2nd HDD
I found also the [Sat L70/S70 HDD replacement |http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/CRU3703HG0000R01.htm] document on Toshiba page and there I can see that 2nd HDD bay is not available
> 3) Do all three (P70, L70, S70 series) come with the same TFT Panels?
See point 1). Different P70, L70, S70 models were equipped with different hardware parts.
> 4) Which of the above series supports mSata?
As far as I know only some P70 models are equipped with an 256GB mSATA-SSD.
> 5) Do all of the model of each series come with a mSata support? E.g. Could it be that L70-a-13m supports mSata while the L70-a-146 does not ?
See point 4) not all models supports the same hardware specifications
> 6) All of the above, come with a S-ATA II or S-ATA III interface ?
I dont think that SATA III is supported. I guess it would be SATA II
> 7) Which is the best of those series listed ? I am trying to understand what makes the big difference from S70 to P70 except of the casing for example.
Not easy to answer because there are too many models released in Europea.
And not all models are available in each country. So I guess you will need to look for models which were released in your country.

Travel adaptor for Macbook with magsafe connector?

Has anyone found anyone that sells a aircraft travel adaptor for the Macbook?
Kensington do one for the old iBook but a magsafe connector version has not appeared.
Hopefully this is not becasue Apple have patented the design of the magsafe connector and are not letting anyone else produce them.
If this is indeed the case, and Apple don't produce their own travel adapter, I will be quite cross as the whole point of having a laptop is so you can take it with you when you are travelling.
If the voltages for the iBook are the same as the Macbook how about producing an iBook to Magsafe adapter so we can use the 3rd party travel adapters?

I just checked and the prongs on my MB adapter are exactly the same as the ones on my iPod power adapter. They should work just fine.
From a manufacturing standpoint, it makes no sense to have two different products for the same exact job.

Question about the "iPod radio remote"

I assume the "radio remote" is the same for every country and is under software control. I want to buy in Canada but use in UK and Canada.
Has anyone got one and seen the RDS work, in the UK almost every FM channel is RDS. Do they have RDS in Canada (Toronto) can anyone confirm?
And of course it says FM so this again I assume no AM, not that I need AM it was just an interest in if it could do it.
What happens about headphones, you can plug a pair into the remote, can you still plug into the bottom of the iPod or does the remote connector get in the way.
What is the story with "line out" I use this all the time as I amp my headphones. So I assume you cant use line out? or is the remote a line out also.
And I assume the remote cable and you headphones act as the aerial, how is the quality? Is it any good indoors, some little FM radios I have used drop to mono indoors. Does this Apple one frop to mono if the signal is weak?
Someone that has one can perhaps answer
Cheers
Ray

I can at least answer some of the questions.
The RDS function on this radio/remote is poor in the
UK. You have to set the radio function on the iPod
to "Europe" and when you do this RDS info is not
displayed on almost all radio stations such as
Virgin, XFM, Capital, GLR, etc. It does display on
Radio 2 however. At least, this is my finding. So
it's unpredictable at best. Setting the radio to
"USA" on the iPod increases the likelihood of getting
the RDS to display, but the downside is that you can
then only tune the radio in increments of 2mhz which
is a bit awkward if your looking for 89.1mhz!
There are three settings for the radio which you
choose via the iPod. They are USA/Europe/Japan. No
setting for Canada, although I'm sure you will still
be able to use it over there as I can still use mine
here in the UK even if it's set to USA.
No, there is no AM radio.
You can plug headphones into the remote or the
headphone jack on the iPod, or both at the same time.
I'm not sure I understand your question about the
bottom of the iPod. The radio plugs into the iPod
via the dock connector.
There is no 'line out' on the iPod. If you mean the
one on the dock, then no you can't use it as you
cannot place the iPod into the dock whilst the
radio/remote is connected as they use the same
connector.
Yes the cable of the remote acts as the aerial.
Reception is surprisingly good where I am, but it
will of course depend on where you use it. I've
used it indoors without any drop in signal or it
dropping to mono.
Lastly, you need to update the software for both the
nano or the 5th generation for the radio to work
(after you do this a radio function appears in the
menu), and some users have found that doing this
screws up the iPod. I have mine working on both the
nano and the 5th gen without any problems.
There is a review of the radio/remote here. I like
mine and consider it a worthwhile accessory, but of
course there will be those who disagree.
iPod
Radio/Remote Review.
Thank you for the reply.
Think your right USA or Europe will work in Canada.
Yes I mean the line out via the dock, I just wondered if the remote become a line out socket (I also use a pocket dock for line out for headphone amp as I use a pair of Sennheiser HD600 with my ipod) but of course that is silly becasue you have a volume control on the remote and line out is normaly fixed.
Based on your views I shall get one in March when in Toronto
Cheers

Some questions about javacard 2.1.1 and smartcardio

Hello i have some question about java card 2.1.1 and the smartcardio package.
1.) I want to sign a message with the Signature.ALG_RSA_SHA_PKCS1 algorithm. I use the following code in the applet to sign the message:
final static byte P1_CREATION_MODE = (byte) 0x01;
final static byte INS_SIGN_MODE = (byte) 0x60;
final static byte SmartCard_CLA = (byte) 0xB0;
private void signMessage(APDU apdu) {
 byte[] buffer = apdu.getBuffer();
 byte byteRead = (byte) (apdu.setIncomingAndReceive());
 signature.init(privateKey, Signature.MODE_SIGN);
 short length = signature.sign(buffer, ISO7816.OFFSET_CDATA, byteRead, buffer, (short) 0);
 apdu.setOutgoingLength((short) length);
 apdu.sendBytesLong(buffer, (short) ISO7816.OFFSET_CDATA, (short) length);
 apdu.setOutgoing();
 }On the host side I use the following code to connect to the card and to send the sign apdu:
if (TerminalFactory.getDefault().terminals().list().size() == 0) {
 LOGGER.log(Level.SEVERE, "No reader present");
 throw new NoSuchCardReader();
 /* Select the first terminal*/
 CardTerminal terminal = TerminalFactory.getDefault().terminals().list().get(0);
 /* Is a card present? */
 if (!terminal.isCardPresent()) {
 LOGGER.log(Level.SEVERE, "No Card present!");
 throw new NoSuchCard();
 /* Set the card protocol */
 Card card = terminal.connect("*");
 ATR atr = card.getATR();
 LOGGER.fine(getHexString(atr.getBytes()));
 LOGGER.fine(getHexString(atr.getHistoricalBytes()));
 CardChannel channel = card.getBasicChannel();
 CommandAPDU cmd = new CommandAPDU((byte) 0xb0, (byte) 0x60, (byte) 0x01, (byte) 0x00, new String("datadatdatadata").getBytes(), (byte) 0x40);
 ResponseAPDU response = channel.transmit(cmd);
 card.disconnect(false);But this does not work and i got the following error

cipherDES = Cipher.getInstance(Cipher.ALG_DES_CBC_ISO9797_M2, false);But i do not know what is the aquivalent on the host side??
3.) Another problem is that i am not able to send the modulus of a public key from the host applikation to the smard card
new CommandAPDU((byte) 0xb0, (byte) 0x20, (byte) 0x01, (byte) 0x00, modulus.toByteArray()); // create the apdu

 } catch (APDUException ex) {
 ISOException.throwIt((short) (SW_APDU_EXCEPTION + ex.getReason()));
 }The error code is 6700
4.) My last problem ist, that i am not able to use a value bigger than 0x7F as the ne field in the apducommand, because i get the following error

If you need more code to help please let me know.

2) What is PKCS? what is the difference between
PKCS#11 and PKCS#15??PKCS is the abbreviation of "Public-Key Cryptography Standards"
PKCS #11: Cryptographic Token Interface Standard
See http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2133
PKCS #15: Cryptographic Token Information Format Standard
http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2141
If you want to use yor smartcard as secure token it doesn't have to be a JavaCard.
BTW: I don't remember a way to access PKCS#15 tokens on a JavaCard from within an oncard JavaCard program. If you want to use keys in your oncard program, you have to transfer it onto the card or generate it oncard and export the public key by your own oncard/offcard code.

Question about when L3 sticky information is removed on CSS

Hi everyone,
I have a question about L3 sticky on CSS.
I understand L3 sticky takes effect on the following situations,
1: until expiring inactive timer
2: until sticty table full
and
3: until the connection disconnect by receiving RST or FIN from client or real server
The "3:" means that CSS maintains sticky connection between specific client IP address
to real server (L3 stickty) when CSS has its information on sticky table.
And CSS has removed it from sticky table if CSS receive RST or FIN even if the inactive timer
abot its connection has not expired.
That is, CSS removed L3 sticky information from sticky table when CSS receive
RST or FIN from client or real server even if inactive timer has not expired and
in this situation, the next new connection from same client IP address is processed with
normal load balancing, in the result, the new connection from same client IP address
forwards other real server.
Is my understanding correct ?
Or CSS maintains L3 sticky information on the sticky table until the situation meets
"1:" or "2:" even if CSS receive RST or FIN ?
Your information would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,

What point number 3 means is the layer 3 sticky will take effect when a connection disconnect message is received from a client or a real server. This connection disconnect is received in the form of RST or FIN messages from the real server or the client.
