Using Non-Apple Power Cable from a UPS

Can some kind person please tell me if I should plug the UPS (Hot-Cold) cable directly into my G5 ?
The Apple Power Cable shipped with the G5 cable has a UK 3-Pin plug with a FUSE in it ...
Any kind advice and expertise will be much appreciated !
Thanks in advance

Many thanks for your kind reply and much appreciated expertise
The mains power supply cable (3-Pin UK 230V wall socket plug) to the UPS unit is also fused too !
A noticeable difference - the Mac seems to run quieter since feed o off a UPS unit ?

Using non-Apple power charger

Hi- my ipod touch arrived this morning and I'm wondering if I can use the same non-Apple power charger to charge it away from my Mac when I'm not at home, as I do for my 2 gen. ipod Nano.
It's an Artwizz mode
INPUT: 100-240Vac
0.15A
50-60Hz
OUPUT: 5.0Vdc
1.0A
Awaiting your replies with interest !
Thanks. SeaDream

Unfortunatly (see previous threads on this topic), Apple has done something to the multi connector so that some aftermarket chargers no longer work with the newer units. Only way to know is to try. Either it will charge or it won't.

Did iOS7 disable my non-apple power cable?

I "upgraded" to iOS7 and now my non-apple power/sync cables which worked perfectly under iOS6 do not charge the battery? Did Apple actually code this new iOS7 to disable non-apple cables?

could be. I haven't heard that cables stopped working just that you recieve a message on screen before they don't work. Not just out of the blue stopping. Did you get a pop-up message when you first plugged in the iphone after upgrading to ios7?

I've got a power cable from my 2011 macbook air which I would like to use as a spare cable for my new 2013 macbook pro, but the design has changed. Is there an adapter available so that I can use it?

I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV? I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.

I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV. This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade. Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV? There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.

Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection. Double check all cables. If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

I brought apple lightining cable from authorised shop , but my i phone is not getting charged with that how can i know its orginal or not there is no printing on that cable and the wire is little harder than which i was using before it came along pho

I brought apple lightining cable from authorised shop , but my i phone is not getting charged with that how can i know its orginal or not there is no printing on that cable and the wire is little harder than which i was using before it came along with phone.., Please let me know is the cable is orginel or not ..

the phone says it is not charging even though it actually is. Check and see if that's the case. A very underhanded trick by Apple so they can charge 10 times what the cable is worth. They do not win admirers by that proprietary trickery.

Can I use non-apple earphones with radio remote?

I have a new Ipod 3g and want to buy the radio remote. Must I use the earbuds supplied with the radio remote or can I use non-apple earbuds and earphones? Will I still get good radio reception with a non-apple earphone?

Yes you can. I use Sennheiser PX100's and they work just fine.
Plug the headphones into the remote rather than the iPod to get the best reception.

In IOS 7.0.3, it no longer lets me use non-apple charging cords. Did this happen to everyone?

The fix is to log into your current account. Go to appleid.apple.com and change the primary email and apple id back to the old email address (doesn't matter if you have it any longer). Once the change is made, then enter your password for that account on the device. Once you get in, go ahead and go back to appleid.apple.com and change it back. That fixed mine.
need to edit this to clarify a bit

Do I have to use the Apple Power Adapter specifically to charge my iPod nano without using my laptop?

CAN I CHARGE MY IPOD NANO WITHOUT USING THE APPLE POWER ADAPTER? Can I use any of my many usb wall charging adapters instead?

I am using my jambox wall adapter.

Does the power cable from my 24" CinemaDisplay have to connected for the display to work. I just had it repaired and now it seems to have to be plugged into the laptop I dont remember it being like that before.

Is the power cable from the display required to be plugged into my MBP for my display to work. Recently had work done on the display (power supply replaced twice, glass replaced twice). Also since I got it back from repair my system goes to sleep sleeps even though I have it set not to. Frustrated

awesome, so you sound like you know what your going on about. im guessing its a Software fault tbh, because its like the phone is dead.. very upsetting..but with it not being the screen if they dont ask me to replace it and to send it off for repair what can i say as to a loan phone, mind a ease a little bit now i will just now wait for tommorrow to see what happens thank you

Using non apple wav files in logic express 9

Does anyone know how i can use non apple files in logic express 9.i have put them in Bin but cannot get them to play via my midi keyboard.thanks

Actually i am not sure i really understand your question because it seems to me that in your subject heading you are asking about " wav " files which are audio files but in your message you refer to playing those files via your midi keyboard which indicates you are trying to play " midi " files and not " audio " files.
If you want to play a audio file:
Create and audio track in a project and the import the "wav" file into that audio track and it should play as an audio file when hit the play button in the transport controls.
Please clarify what type of file you want play using LExpress 9 to give us a better idea as to how to help you.

Using non apple cords??

i recently sold my ipod on ebay in a working condition and now the buyer is saying it isnt working and wants a refund...she said she tried it on a couple different computers using different cords and docks...i heard that if you use non apple approved or apple cords or anything with the ipod it has a chance to malfunction...i need some proof so any help will be great thanks!

i recently sold my ipod on ebay in a working condition
You sold it without a cord?
i heard that if you use non apple approved or apple cords or anything with the ipod it has a chance to malfunction
It's an electronic device. It has a chance to malfunction simply by plugging it in.
If the cord works, it works.
Of course manufacturers always recommend you use their accessories but if an item is built to the manufacturers specs, it should work.
You need "proof" of what?

No longer able to use non-apple lightning to 30 pin adapter cable with IOS 8

Do any of you use an Apple iDevice with a digital transport docking station to get your music from your device to your speakers using an external DAC?
I have an Onkyo ND-S1 which was great when using my iPhone 4S plugged into the dock sending digital audio through to my active speakers with built in DAC….
But since upgrading to an iPhone 6, running IOS 8.1.1 which has a lightning port, I purchased an aftermarket ‘lightning to 30-pin female adapter cable’ to continue using the dock with my new iPhone.
It doesn’t work. The adapter is not approved by Apple and somehow they have managed to bork all non-apple cables, ie it won’t charge, it won’t send digital audio. It’s essentially useless. Now, this is a cable that was manufactured & marketed specifically to allow iDevices with a lightning port to connect to digital transport docks, and I believe that it used to work with IOS 7.x, but it appears that with the rollout of IOS 8.x, Apple has done something that renders all non-apple cables redundant.
Apple sell their own £30 adapter cable, but that has its own DAC built in to the unit – now stupid question time: If I used one of these cables, would it (a) Do nothing, just like the non-apple cable, (b) Convert the audio to analogue, then send the converted audio to the speakers (by analogue cable only), resulting in a lower quality reproduction? Or (c) Would it bypass the DAC in the cable and send the digital signal to the speakers?
Does anybody have any experience of this?

If the 3rd party adapter doesn't work it is because it is a counterfeit device The manufacturer has failed to licence the lightning technology from Apple ergo it does not work
Of course the Applr product will work ,infact most of the copies in very very small prin tsay in advert it does not support sound intended for charging only
