Using power adaptor plugs with iBook charger

I bought the iPod USB Power adaptor from Singapore and it came with a power adaptor plug that is used in the States. Can I use that plug and slot it into my iBook charger? Will it work? I've tried putting it in and the connection's fine but it doesn't look like a perfect fit externally.

Hi Ernest,
Three criteria must be respected:
1) Voltage and Power compatibility:
The electrical specs on the iPod USB Power adaptor must match the ones that come out of the iBook charger. (you may need a magnifying glass, but they read somewhere, it's the law) Most probably all this stuff is International 100-240V/50-60Hz, but you must make sure.
However the Amperes (or the Watts) values often differ, so watch this carefully.
2) No loose contact:
Although shapes can look weird, if at least contacts are always touching tightly, that's fine.
3) Security:
If you can see enough metal for the cat to put her nose on it... ... ...
Another solution is to warn the cat
--> Find a shape adapter if electrical specs match:
Adapters are not all multiple, expensive devices. Find a cheap one that fits only between Singapore and the US.
Hope this helps.

  • Can i leave my power adaptor plug in to mba 2011 after fully charging it?

    Hi all,
    I was wondering whether i can leave my power adaptor plug in to my mba 2011 even after its gully charged?
    Appreciate all feedbacks!

    Yep!  No problem with that.  I would cycle the battery once a month or so (lt the battery completely drain then fully re-charge).
    I love my 11" MacBook Air!

  • Do both of Apple Store's iPod power adaptors work with the new Touch 2G?

    Hi,
    Many thanks in advance for your attention.
    Looking to to get an Apple USB power adaptor for the iPod Touch 2G.
    In the Apple Store, two are listed, one smaller (and newer) than the other. In the newer one, the prongs are not retractable; in the larger (older) one, they are.
    1. Does anyone know if the larger (and older) power adaptor works with the iPod Touch 2G USB-only interface?
    2. I know that many power adaptors and speakers and car adaptor sets, etc. in the past had a combo Firewire/ USB power interface. That is why the new iPod Touch 2G (or iPhone 3G) does not charge up or power up with these speakers and chargers, etc. (Speakers such as the original Bose Sound Dock).
    3. Is it true that the older (larger) power adaptor works better in all kinds of power situations (different outlets, etc. in different countries); that the older (larger) power adaptor is more travel-versatile? The Apple store perhaps notes a difference, noting that the newer power adaptor works only with USA-style outlets. I see no such note with the older adaptor.
    4. Finally, does anyone know of a USB-only interface that would work with the iPod Touch 2G that is not Apple's (and perhaps not as insanely priced)?

    Many thanks for further clarifying.
    I don't know 100% for sure that the Apple USB cable for the iPod Touch is different than the Apple USB cable for the iPod Touch 2G.
    But:
    I have read (somewhere) that the tiny pin connectors are different. That is why an iPod Touch 1G could be charged by (for example) a Logitech mm50 Speaker set and an iPod Touch 2G cannot.
    An iPod Touch 2G can still connect to the Logitech mm50 Speaker set. It will still play and you will hear music. But it is no longer charging. And I have read of iPod Touch 2Gs getting very hot in these cradles. That can't be good for the poor iPod in the long run.
    So for the Apple USB power adaptors to work, (which both came out before the iPod Touch 2G), they must have some override or blocked pin if they can work with both generations of iPod Touches.

  • Use of 'Add Plug with follow up navigation' in Runtime Repository Editor

    Hi Experts,
       Can any one explain the use of "Add Plug with follow up navigation"
      Runtime Repository Editor->Window->InboundPlugs (Right Click ) ->Add Plug with follow up navigation
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    1. Go to NavigationalLinks and create a navlink.
    2. Go to Copmonent Structure browser and under pages with flow logic you can see Repository.xml
    change tag for inbound plug and add navlink for i/p plug as -
    <InboundPlug name="CREATE_EMAIL" followUpNavigationalLink="forwardToCreateEmail"/>
    3. Save the changes.
    For more details please see component BT126H_MAIL and its repository.xml. Once the i/p plug is called, nav link is triggered automatically.
    Hope that helps.
    Regards,

  • Using power adaptor charger while playing iPod

    I have a charger for my iPod Mini. I think it's called a "USB-based power adaptor." When I got it about a year ago it cost about $20. Uses a cable for the iPod into it and then plugs into a standard outlet.
    I am also able to run my iPod through one of my more high-end stereo systems. A great advantage, particularly for "home recording," to listen and get full stereo sound.
    The question is:
    Can I use the charger adaptor while the iPod is playing? Either through the stereo system or using the iPod just by itself?
    It would seem that should be no problem. Wouldn't it be the same principle as using an iPod "dock?"
    If I can do this, the nice thing would be that I could keep my iPod fully charged while playing. Either through the stereo system or playing just the iPod alone.
    Could any harm be done by doing this?
    Thanks in advance.

    In theory, it shouldn't do any harm. The reason I added the qualifier is that its possible that a non-Apple charger could in some way, not be quite up to spec and could behave oddly. Of course, Apple chargers can go bad, too. iPods will stop accepting a charger once they are fully charged. I have used chargers while my iPod has been connected to speakers with no difficulty and no harm to the iPod.

  • Trouble using Power Adaptor to charge iPad2

    The 10W USB Adaptor supplied with my iPad2 doesn't seem to work  When I plug it in (using a UK plug which it slots into) it does not charge the iPad.  I have another plug which the USB cable slots into, and when the iPad is connected to a power socket via this plug, it charges but the plug gets hot very quickly.  Is this OK?  I don't like to leave it plugged in this way for too long, so it will take ages to charge it fully.  Do you have to use the USB Adaptor supplied - is it the best way to charge?

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
    Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at Apple: iPad Battery Nothing to Get Charged Up About

  • Using old power point plug  with new computer

    I have just bought a Macbook in new york and forgot to get an adapter from a USA(2 straight prongs) to UK (3 chunky prongs)power point. Can I slide off the powerpoint plug from the adapter on my 5 yr old ipod and put it onto the adapter for the new computer.?

    If you are going to stay in Europe a while, you can also buy a plug with the right prongs at the Apple store. It fits right into the brick and becomes part of it like your US one does, and you can change them back and forth. They're a little pricey - I paid 35 Euros for a Central European plug - but to me it's better than the adapter because it sparks less and looks much better.

  • Is anyone else having troubles with the power adaptors going from green charge light to amber?

    I have had to replace my power adaptor once before as there appeared to be a broken wire inside ..the replacement had been working fine but just recently noticed the light changing from green to amber within seconds of being connected

    The light changes from green to amber whenever the System Management controller determines that the battery needs charging. The light is green, indicating a fully-charged battery, until it is determined that the battery is less than 94% charged. That determination can take a few seconds after the adapter is connected. If the charge level is found to be below 94%, charging begins, and the light turns orange (amber) to indicate that charging is taking place. None of this signifies a problem of any kind.

  • Track pad very irratic while using power adaptor

    Using a 65 watt power adaptor on my Macbook Air, which requires only 45 watts. Charges the batter fine, but I cannot use the trackpad while it's plugged in, unplug it and it works fine. Extrememly annoying.

    Does the trackpad operate correctly using the MBA 45W power adapter?

  • Use power adaptor or battery

    When to use which (Macbook Pro)?  Use the battery at all times and drain then recharge or just when an outlet is not available? 

    That was copied and pasted from the article named above under the sub heading "Standard Maintenance".  I did read that.  But that does not really describe how I use the computer.  I do not travel with it much.  I use it more like a desktop.  I purchased the notebook because of it's small footprint and portability.  I use it in various places around the home on a daily basis.  Wherever I am there is an electrical outlet handy.  If I follow the principal of discharging and recharging once per month then I would be using the power adaptor almost constantly.  Is this truly recommended?

  • Using power adaptors interchangeably

    Is it Ok to use the same power adaptor/power brick with i books and powerbooks. I have several laptops, can I just interchange the power adaptors?
    thank you joanlvh

    Check out this thread: Ned Snowing, "65 W versus 45 W power adapter ?" #1, 10:12am Aug 5, 2005 CDT
    You can do it, but it's not recommended.

  • HT5067 When using a Keynote Widget with iBooks Author, do the transitions and builds between Keynote slides appear in the iPad preview version of the iBook, or only in the finished product?

    I'm using the Keynote Widget in iBooks Author, and the Keynote presentation uses the Magic move transition between slides.  When I preview the iBook on a new iPad, the Magic move transitions don't show up (i.e. the transition from slide to slide is standard, not Magic move).  Any suggestions?

    Hyperlinks and magic move should work but don't. However I  found the following as a workaround for me. Use three slides instead of two to generate the magic move effect in Keynote presentations on Ibooks using hyperlinks only. As an example
    Supose an object on  slide 1 was set as a hyperlink to go to a slide which then had a magic move effect to a third slide. For some reason it works on the mac, but not on ibooks. However you can create the magic move transition effect by simply adding a "dummy slide" as follows.  Suppose an object on slide 1 had an object which would hyperlink to slide 4. Duplicate Slide 4, and make the duplicate slide 5. Then set Slide 4  to automatically transition (with no effect) to the next slide (i.e. slide 5) after .5 seconds. Have Slide 5 set to transition to Slide 6 using magic move automatically after .5 seconds. By having the hyperlink point to slide 4 the magic move effect from Slide 5 to Slide 6 works fine (with a brief 1 sec delay). IF the hyperlink pointed directly to Slide 5, the magic move transition to slide 6 would not work.
    For some reason having an extra slide makes magic move work even though it is not needed on the mac. I hpe this helps.

  • Solution for using power pc apps with mountain lion

    Options for using my Power Pc Apps with Mountian Lion?   Specificly I need to use Citrix ICA Client editor.

    You would have to erase Mountain Lion and reinstall Lion in order to use PPC apps.  Or you could try to Upgrade to a newer version of the PPC software that would no longer be PPC based.
