Static electricity from mc700 new brand using 3 prong power cord

hi all ,
since 12 days i brought my macbook pro mc700 unibody , problem i've noticed that while i'm touching the laptop on the edge while the magsafe green and fully charged a static shock for me and for whom else touch it , i'm using my 3 prong power cord and the same thing in diffrent location , home,office and in dealer branch , that's my first time using macbook moving from windows and i'm shocked from first impression regarding MBP.

i went to the dealer in our country and tried the macbook but still the same shocked me and the tech. there ,when i tried to change the magsafe with spare one there it's works without any problem and without electric shock ,i'm thinking about changing the magsafe OR to buy the moshi sticker someone told me it's prevent the static electric shock.

Can static electricity from a carrying case "blow out" a hard drive?

Can static electricity from a carrying case "blow out" a hard drive?
My one-month old MacBook Pro's hard drive died today. The Apple store employee said a number of things could cause it (like dropping it), but I have taken good care of it (never dropped it). The only thing I can think of is that when I take it out of the sleeve I have for it, sometimes I get a static electricity shock. Could this have blown the hard drive? If so, where can I get a nonstatic electricity case? (I got a new computer today.) Thanks!

It's quite unlikely that static electricity would affect the HDD. You may just have had a defective drive or there was some other event that damaged the drive such as leaving the computer running while in your carrying case or doing an abnormal shutdown or an electrical surge when it was connected to the AC adaptor, for example.

Why can't I make a purchase from my new IPod using a new credit card which is different from the one registered with my apple account ?

Why can't I make a purchase from my new IPod using a new credit card which is different from the one I have registered with iTunes before ?

You can only use one credit card to one Apple ID.

Frequent static electricity from my iPhone 6

I kept getting static electricity from my iPhone 6, just holding it on its own (ie not whilst charging the battery) as I type my texts or browsing the Internet. It hasn't got a casing on. Is this normal? It's happening quite frequently, and it's quite disturbing.

HI
I contacted Apple & did as below as advised & I got my contacts back.
Before I started I made sure that I had a Icloud backup for my IPhone ( which was before the problem started ).[ Settings > ICloud > Backup. ]
IPhone reset - by 'Erase all contents & settings...
after the phone starts, choose to restore from Icloud backup.. & choose the Backup you think is without the issue.
VERY IMPORTANT.. Once the phone restores from the backup & the Home screen comes, put the phone in Airplane mode Immediately.
Now go to settings > Icloud > put the contacts OFF. ( Keep the contacts )
Now OFF the Airplane mode & go to settings > Icloud > put the contacts ON & select Merge.
I got all my contacts back which was there until that Backup.
Thanks again - Apple support.

Can I use a power cord from a Macbook air with a Macbook?

Can I use a power cord from a Macbook air with a Macbook?

No, the MacBook Air power adapter is a 45 watt. A MacBook needs at least a 60 watt power adapter although you can use a MacBook Pro 85 watt adapter. You can use a higher wattage adapter without any problems.

My MacBook Air won't charge using the power cord and it's not the power cord that's malfunctioning. The battery is now exhausted.

My MacBook Air won't charge using the power cord and it's not the power cord that's malfunctioning. I went to Radio Shack and tried two new cords. The battery is now dead. Any thoughts?

Unfortunately, my battery has died as a result of not being able to charge with the power cord. Not sure what an SMC reset is but I have made an appointment to bring my laptop in to the Apple Store. Thank you for your response. Very much appreciated.
Warm Regards,

Since the iOS7.0.2 update to my iPhone 4S, I can no longer choose use of my Bluetooth device if using the power cord to listen to MUSIC or answer my phone (choice of powercord as 'dock,' speaker, & phone only). Was this former-feature now an oversight?? I'd really appreciate having my Bluetooth once again listed as a choice of audio option. Especially considering the battery life is not what it was prior to this update, and requires recharging often.

Sorry to tell you but unless you have a Retail Apple Store close by, they are the only ones I have found with all the adapters and accessories. I bought an extra lightning to usb adapter the other day to use in my truck. Good luck....

HT4060 Can I use the power cord (30-pin and USB) that came with iPad 2 to charge it in my car's USB port?

Can I use the power cord (30-pin and USB) that came with iPad 2 to charge it in my car's USB port? Or do I need to purchase one of those cigarette lighter charging devices? Thanks!

You'd have to read your car manual but chances are it won't put out enough power for the iPad. The car is likely set up to charge a phone, most of which typically want half the power an iPad wants.
I think your options are to get a cigarette lighter looking charger, making sure it's powerful enough for an iPad...or you can get power inverters for about $25, where they plug into the cigarette lighter/power point and have a normal household type outlet on the other end. Then you'd just plug your charger in like you would at home.
Another option would be to look for something like a Zagg Sparq, which is a battery operated charger...plug the Sparq into the outlet at home. Its battery holds a charge and you can use that to charge your device. (zagg isn't the only manufacturer of such a device, Targus has one as well). Just look for portable chargers.
The key to remember is to make sure it's rated for an iPad, which will want more power than a cell phone.

Static electric on the new iPad when charging

When I'm charging the new iPad, touching on the back cover will give static electric. Would it damage the device in long run?

Was gifted an Ipad missing an AC Adapter and cable. Bought new cable and adapter. Made the mistake of buying and using a 5 Volt adapter. Made the mistake of using the Ipad when it was being charged (plugged into the electric outlet). Made the mistake of returning and picking up the Ipad after walking across a rug. Blew out that 5 Volt adapter which no longer would charge another suitable (5 Volt correct) device. Bought 10 Volt adapter which would not charge my Ipad as well.
iOS devices charge of USB specification that means 5 Volts ONLY.
A 10 Volt charger would damage the device.
I believe you are confusing Watts & Volts.
Many USB chargers have a higher amperage (that means they can supply more current, not Volts). That translates to more Watts (overall power output).
It allows iPads to charge faster because they have more battery to fill.
The standard iPad charger is 10Watts (the spec isn't visible on Apple.com, so this is from external sources).
iPhones usually have chargers that supply 5Watts
The safest option…
Use an Apple charger that is rated for the device… as you can see Apple sell 5 Watt & 12 Watt supplies for iPads

None of this helps you speedgo, sorry. I don't know if static could cause issues. I would move it to another wall outlet, try other rooms - if it still happens take it to an Apple store & ask them for advice it may also happen at the store if the device or charger is faulty.

Can I use a power cord from a 2007 iBook?

I have extra power cords from my old iBook - I would keep one at home and one at work. It appears to fit the new 13" MacBook Pro. They are both made by CE and appear identical except for the 90º magnetic connector on the new model.They are both labeled: Input AC100-240v-50-60Hz 15A; Output 16.5v 3.65A ADP-60AD B
I don't want to blow anything up...

Actually I misspoke: the old laptop is an early generation white polycarbonate MacBook with the first Intel core duo. It does have a Magsafe, and I am asking if I can plug the entire cable from the old MacBook from the wall into the new MacBook Pro.
Thanks for your help!

Using American Power cord in other country with different electric currency

Hey,
during my stay in the U.S. as an exchange student I bought a MacBook in Septemper 2009. Now I will return home and I am wondering about the use of my power cord. The currency in America is 110V, in Germany we have 220V. My questions is now what I have to do with my power cord to not break the computer. Can I just use an adapter to make the American one fit in the German outlet? Should I buy a German cord or is that going to harm the computer?
Thanks für your help
Peggy

All you need is the adapter to allow the cord to plug into the outlet.
The power brick itself can handle either voltage without issue.

Can i use a power cord for a US purchased apple tv on a 220v power outlet

need to ascertain whether the power cord on apple tv purchased in the US will work on 220V power outlet

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV will work in any voltage in any location, so will the power cord if you replace the plug to one that fits the system used in your location.
Alternatively you can change the power cord for a new one, you need a C7 non polorised connector (more commonly known as a 'a figure of eight')

Using old power cords and adaptors. . .

so it's pretty obvious, most people (including myself) are having major battery power/life issues with their 3GS iPhones.
so, i've had multiple iPods since 2004 and have saved all my old power cords and power adaptors. i've also got an aftermarket power cord for the car too. to keep my phone charged i'm thinking of using one cord in my car, one by my bedside, one at my desk, and one at work.
my question is, though these cords/adaptors came with or were designed for older generation ipods, can i still use them safely with my iPhone 3GS? i'd rather not have to buy a bunch of new cords/adaptors (which tend to cost $20-$40 a piece!)
thanks!

I have a first gen iPod which takes firewire brick plus firewire end plug cord. My fourth, fifth and classic iPods along with my first gen iPhone take firewire or USB brick with dock end plug. The 3G and 3GS iPhone will ONLY take USB brick with dock connector. My USB car charger worked in all my iPhones and iPods. zoz

Using US power cord in Sweden?

Hello!
I'd like to set up in Sweden an AXBS that I purchased in the US. As most Apple products come with power adapters that are 100-240V and 50-60A compatible through a simple switch of plug heads, I assumed that that would be the case with the AXBS too.
Though the power brick does say that it's compatible with 100-240/50-60A input, the power cord that plugs into the brick (with US prongs) indicates only 125V/2.5A.
I'm wondering if I can put a simple European plug adapter (not voltage converter) over the US plug (which I do for my iPhone charging plug/cord; on that plug is written that it's compatible with 100-240/50-60A)), or if I need to get a European/Swedish power cord to plug into the supplied power brick.
I've done an internet search for an AEBS Swedish-compatible power cord, but haven't found one yet.
Thanks!

I found a European power cord with the necessary specs to fit with the AEBS's power brick.
