Sudden permanent immediate shutdown while using AC power cord

I have had no previous problems with the laptop except for constant Windows 7 "Not Responding" notices. I wiped Windows and installed SuSE Linux 13.2 64 bit. It has been runnng better than ever for a couple of months. I was using the laptop when suddenly it just died. The screen went dark, the fans went off, the power light went out. It is as if the battery was out and the power cord was disconnected. One second it was working, the next it was dead. I tried pulling the battery, unplugging the power cord, holding the power button down for over a minute, and then plugging the AC adaptor back in, but there was no change. The blue light on the power button never even comes on. The machine is dead. If it were a desktop, I would replace the power supply. What happened? Inside the battery case is this information:Serial: 5CH1231JUKProduct: LW178UA#ABACustModel: dv7-6187clWarranty: 1y1y0yRev: 165A-110PCID: 058D110000244620001620100

That indicates that you phone is in recovery mode and needs to be connected to iTunes on your computer to be restored.

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....

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.

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.

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,

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 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 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 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.

Ti 500 freezes while using battery power

My ti 500 freezes during start up whenever I start it up using the battery. If i start it up plugged in it works just fine, it will freeze once i go to battery power. I have replaced the battery device that plugs into the logic board. but the problem is still there. I recently replaced the screen taken from another ti 500. Any ideas what might be wrong? Any help would be great. thanks.-wam

I've had this happen with an old G3 Wallstreet 233 Powerbook some years back (hoping my memory is accurate) - - I think it had to do with the battery capacity wearing down with charge cycles - - I'm guessing your battery is at least 2.5-3 years old.
You might try calibrating your battery (battery-only full discharge to shut-down, then powering up on AC to full charge), I've heard some folks get more battery capacity, at least for a while. Good luck!

Green flashing re-charge status while using (Denki) power adaptor

Ipod 30Gb Video 5G is showing a green flashing re-charge status when connected to a power adaptor.
Is this natural, or am I frying my ipod?
Cannot find any such description in the manual.
Flash is green/white, and not green/amber as described elsewhere, while showing the lightening bolt.

MacBook Shuts off While Using Battery Power

Hello!
I have a white 13" MacBook from 2006.
But whenever I try to just run the MacBook on battery power, it shuts off within
1-3 minutes of use (Mainly using Safari).
I tried to reset the SMC, and changing the battery to a new one, but the problem
still persists.
*Battery Information:*
Model Information:

When we switched the battery, the cycle count was 216 with the new battery.
But when we switched the batteries back, it was still a cycle count of 216.
We also tried to call AppleCare, but they didn't help very much...
Is there a defective part in my MacBook?

Never mind with the question...
My dad mixed up the batteries and put the old battery back in the
old one, and the new battery stuck in the new one... =P
So, I tried switching the batteries by myself, and guess what?
I'm using the new battery right now - just on battery power!
(And it's not shutting off! =) )

IMac 20" core 2 Duo (Shutdown while using iPhoto)

Hi All,
I'm fairly new to Mac's so please bare with me.
I've had my new Mac for 3 days now but have run into a problem when using iPhoto. Particularily when trying to use the enhance feature.
It does not happen everytime but the screen scrolls darker from top to bottom and the Mac freezes. It shows a message (I'm paraphrasing here) that says the computer needs to be restarted by pressing the power button or holding it down.
When I reboot it shows me the panic logs (I can't post them right now as I'm at work), and asks me to send it too Apple.
Any ideas. Should I re-install 0SX? Should I see a Mac Gemius for a return? Thanks.

A disk repair from the Install disk, as suggested, is one troubleshooting technique. Another is to use Disk Utility in Apps/Utilities to Repair Permissions. Finally trashing iPhoto and reinstalling from the Install DVD is a third.
Mac OS X is burned on the HD of a new Mac quite quickly. What some folks prefer with a new Mac, fresh out of the box, is to take some time and do an erase and install from the Install DVDs. Then run Software Update and get all of the latest versions of all Apple software. Finally, with OS X and all Apple apps up-to-date, transfer and install user accounts and personal files or for folks new to Macs creation of a User Account. This process is not only useful for a computer update from, for example, a G3 to a G5, but even more so from something as big as PPC to Intel. I did it in JAN from my iMac G3 to my iMac Core Duo. Haven't had any issues personally, but have assisted many who have.
One mistake many new users make is to make their root account their user account. I reserve the root account as the administrator account and have a separate User Account for myself, which also has administrator capabilities. If I make mistakes in administering my Mac it is in my user account, which I can delete and re-establish as needed.
