Can I used this for the Iphone please?

You shouldn't have any problem. Car chargers use a trickle charge, not a full powered charge.

Using a MacBook with ONLY a Power Adapter

HI!
is it possible to use my MacBook with just the power adapter? The current batter and adapter are both dead, and I'm pretty low on cash. So I was thinking I would purchase a new adapter in Amazon. Thoughts? Thanks.

Yes, you can use it on just the power adapter, without a battery installed.
There is a significant performance decrease when a functional battery is not installed, but it will still work without a battery, just not as fast.
Here is one of many links on the subject:

HT4060 Can I use my old iPod 12v output power adapter to charge my iPad2?

Can I use my old iPod 12v output power adapter to charge my iPad2?

The iPod charger is only 5W.
The iPad 2 needs a 10W charger.
It will charge slower and hotter.

Go to Apple Menu>About This Mac>More Info>USB
Check if your "USB High Speed Bus" is active. If it is, you probably have an issue with a USB cord or something.
If it is not active, you might have a motherboard problem. That needs to go to Apple for repair.

MSI VOX TV Tuner USB 2.0 - POWER ADAPTER WHERE TO BUY!

I purchased a generic power adapter from radioshak.
it works perfect to power the msivox box.
It has selectable volts on it. 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9, and 12
2A
I have it set to 4.5 volts, as 6 is to much and 3 is not enough.
you might be able to find something with more options on it.
The beauty with this thing is that you can purchase ANY
end you want, and it just happens that radioshak
also carries an end that fits the MSI vox.
The end is classified as "A" size.
When you plug the end into the power adapter,
make sure that you align the word TIP (on the p.a. cord) with the (-)negative side of the size "A" end you bought
The cost was around $1.50 for the end
and $20 for the adapter, however, I had it before I bought the msivox. lucky me!
There is a slight humming noise if I push the size A end to far into the msivox, I assume this creates
some sort of interference, so to eleviate the noise, I just slowly remove the end until the noise stops,
but before the unit loses power from loss of contact.
hope this helps.

A generic adapter should work just fine although you may need to install drivers for it.
Incidentally the new 2nd gen X1 Carbon uses a proprietary connector, not USB. You can buy a replacement for it from Lenovo or less expensively by googling on the FRU number and buying from an independent seller. The advantage of using the proprietary adapter rather than a generic USB adapter is that it saves the USB ports for other uses.

Should I use an existing usb driver or should I create my own?

We are developing a custom piece of hardware that uses a TI6250 chip to provide an USB communication channel. I read through the web reference http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/6792BAB18242082786256DD7006B6416?opendocument that seems to imply that I don't want to use any existing drivers but I need to create my own using the wizard.
I'm new to USB so I'm trying to get started off right so any advice for a novice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brad

What the wizard creates is a .inf file that contains manufacturer id, model number, etc. that defines the USB device that you want to talk to. On your custom board, you have to implement these settings in eeprom/flash. The TI chip driver tells your board pnly how to manage USB communication. You would also need to implement a means to interpret commands received into the hardware functions that are on your board. For example, if the text "RST" is received, intrepret that as a reset and set board level registers to do that. The LabVIEW driver would include a Reset VI. This VI would do a VISA Write with the text "RST". So what we're talking about is actually several different levels of drivers and code - VISA, the .inf file, the embedded code on your custom board, and LabVIEW VIs.

Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

IPod Power Adapter Question?

Hey well i just bought this ipod power adapter but the thing is that what else do i need because when i try to connected my ipod's 5G charger that came witht the ipod it wont fit but the thing that i want to know what else do i need to use this charger?

when i try to connected my ipod's 5G charger that came witht the ipod it wont fit
Sounds like you purchased the iPod Firewire Power Adapter, instead of the iPod USB Power Adapter.
If you want to keep the power adapter you purchased, you'll need to also get a 6-pin Firewire to Dock Connector cable.
Otherwise, you could return the power adapter you have and exchange it for the USB power adapter and use the cable which came with your iPod.

Power adapter question (T410 2537-DN1)

I have a thinkpad T410 (2537-DN1) and my original power adapter is seeing some wear and tear that I have temporarily fixed with some electrical tape. My adapter is currently a 60W/20V model. What I am wondering is that I still have an adapter from my old T60. It's a 90W/20V model. Can I safely use it on my T410? My research has found both yes and no suggestions but nothing solid. Ergo, I thought I would ask.
Thanks in advance,
kate

Power adapter questions

Hi,
I have a "late 2004" 12" G4 ibook and a FW800 15" G4 Powerbook and one single power adapter left (one has stopped working). This is a A1021 65W power adapter. The first question is:
- can I use this power adapter for both laptop?
I have tried to purchase a second A1021 65W power adapter on ebay. So far I have purchased 2, These are , or they appear to be, genuine Apple A1021, 65W; but the problem is that the connectors, the one with the LED ring, will not fit in either of my laptops. This is the case for both power adapters, bought from different people. I am confused, because the adapter looks a genuine apple A1021, but the connector of mine fits perfectly in both laptop, while the connectors of these 2 don't. I have tried to spot the difference but the 2 connectors really look the same.
Has anyone any knowledge or experience with this type of problems?

Hi Bendetto,
You can use the 65W power adaptor with both the iBook and the Powerbook.
As long as the adaptor is white, it should fit into the Powerbook or the iBooks you specify. You may find the outer shield of the power adaptor is slightly deformed. Try to make it fit, using gentle force while rotating it. Once you make it fit, it will be fine for the future.

Problem with Power Adapter. Please Help!

So, I recently noticed that when I try to use my laptop while it's charging up from a low battery it will randomly STOP charging. The annoying phenomenon usually occurs when I play video or surf online as the computer recharges from a low percentage (5%-50%). Now, I should be able to use my computer while it's charging, right?? Also, I discovered that the power adapter gets hot and makes a humming sound that grows louder right before it shuts off. The odd thing is, is that the laptop will charge just fine if I leave it alone. Weird!
I wouldn't be all worked up about this, but here is what has happened so far:
I have taken the laptop and power adapter to Apple several times and explained that the orange LED light shuts off and that I have to plug the adapter back into the wall to get it to come back on.
So far, the people at Apple have:
1) replaced the first power adapter (that did not work, so I went back)
2) gave me another power adapter (that also did not fix the problem)
3) actually replaced the battery (also did not solve this problem)
I don't know what to do because I don't want to look petty over a stupid problem. However, I have the warranty and this problem is becoming VERY annoying.
Any ideas or similar situations?
Thanks,
Aaron

Battery and Power Adapter Question

Hello:
I've seen several posts that address one issue or another but have not seen one that addresses both:
On my iBook G3 14" -
-Will not power up (have tried steps to reset power management).
-Battery light, when button is pressed, flashes several times (more than a dozen?)
-Power adapter light does not come on
Ordered a new battery but have seen that another possibility is the DC board.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Is there somewhere that lists the various meanings of the flashing battery lights?

Since the power adapter light doesn't come on, I would suspect that the adapter isn't working. (I don't want to insult your intelligence, but have you tried a different outlet?)
