Using power cables from a different country  = fried battery!

I have purchased a MacBookPro from the US and traveled to Melbourne. I had used my friend's power cables for the same MacBookPro that was bought in Singapore. The batterie was fried and had to be changed immediately. Why doesn't Apple warn us of sharing cables?  Now I have to pay $400 to change my battery!

Nonsense. The power adapter for all MacBook Pros are multi-voltage capable and will work with voltages from 110-240VAC and 50-60hZ.

  • How can I subscribe to a free podcast from a different country's i-store?

    How can I subscribe to a free podcast from a different country's i-store? I tried, but it says I can use only store in the country of residence. I just bought imac to be able to watch podcasts from my home country which is not country of residence... It is completely unreasonable!

    You cannot.
    As it has told you, you can use the itunes store of your country of residence and only while you are inside the borders of that country.
    Sorry.

    I have no card of the United States but of another country and always fails.

    You cannot do this.
    In order to use a countrys itunes store, you must be physically located inside the borders of that country have a credit card issued in that country billed to a valid address in that country

  • Purchase through Paypal that is set from a different country)

    Hello Apple Community!
    I know AppStore accepts Paypal as one of the payment method, but
    I have a verified Paypal account and I was wondering if there was a way
    to purchase using Paypal, that is set from a different country, in the US appstore?

    I had create a US iTunes Account with no registered address/card buy "buying" a "free" app, while not logged in.
    Then I had someone buy me a US iTunes Gift Card. I was able to use that to buy the app, and sync it to my UK device.

    Phone number of the device is assigned by the carrier.
    Ask the carrier.

  • Using a schema from a different Logical Data Service

    Is it possible to use a schema from a different Logical Data Service in a new Logical Data Service? I want to maintain just one version of the schema.

    when I try and associate a schema type the 'Select Schema Type' dialog appears. On there the scope is set to project. Next to it is 'All projects', is there a way I can get that ungreyed?I don't think so. I assume that is a remnant from ALDSP 2.x when we had the notion of an ALDSP application that contained multiple ALDSP projects and there was visibility across projects (actually just folders) in the same application.
    can I use a schema associated with another dataspace projectNo. The contents of a dataspace are not accessible from outside the the dataspace other than what is provided by the APIs. And although the schemas could be accessed via catalogservices, this isn't a standard protocol (like http://) and therefore schema processors wont' be able to use them.
    You could host your schemas in a web-application and expose them via http. Create a Dynamic Web Project and put your schemas where the content gets served from (i.e. alongside index.html), and then they would be accessible via http://<yourserver>:<port>/yourWebApp/yourSchema.xsd. All the schemaLocation in the imports would need to be relative. It would probably be easier to create your schema-hosting application first, then build your dataservices.

  • 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 a localization in a different country

    Hi experts,
    I am trying to implement EA-PS (Public Sector) to a country which doesn't have any localization.
    However,  knowing that are several similarities (legislation, reporting, procedures,...) with this one (LOCPTFM – Portugal), is it possible to use Portugal localization in a different country?
    Best regards,
    Pedro Barreiros

    Hi Eli,
    Thank you for your quick answer.
    At OSS note we found a way to instal the Add-on:
    "2.b)  Download
    The software is available on SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/SWDC
    -> Download
    -> Installations & Upgrades
    -> Country-specific Add-ons
    -> SAP ERP ES-PS-LOCPT
    -> SAP ERP ES-PS-LOCPT 617
    -> Installation & Upgrade"
    but we can´t find the path/file.
    About this subject, SAP has told us :
    "After checking with Product Manager,  I´m sorry i can not provide you other answer but t he LOCPTFM Add-On is restricted to Public Sector Portugal only .
    In addition you should join an online community and knowledge repository for global exchange of ideas and technical knowledge around my SAP ERP for Public Sector.
    There you can create or find on-line discussion about this topic and more. To access the Public Sector entire Ecosystem,just go directly to: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/forum?forumID=260".
    Is there any mandatory requisite to fullfil?

  • HT204411 why cant i buy music from a different country( Canadian Store)

    why cant i buy music from a different country( Canadian Store)

    You can only buy content from your own country's store - if the music that you want isn't in your country's store then it's because the record company haven't granted Apple a license to sell it there. Is it available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?
    You can try requesting that it be added to your country's store, but ultimately it's the record company's decision : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Hi- Iphone 5 wont charge using power cable or USB...I am using a genuine apple charger/cable..this started after I was prompted with new update for IOS 7.

    Hi- My  Iphone 5 wont charge using power cable or USB...I am using a genuine apple charger/cable..this started after I was prompted with new update for IOS 7 yesterday. My phone is dead and wouldnt power up ..have tried resetting using itunes but i doesnt detect the phone and..pressing sleep/home button doesnt do anything

    Update
    I guess that it just had a bad connecting port on the phone itself, no clue why it wouldn't work when plugged in both ways other than there is actually some differentiating between the two sides.

  • HT4528 Is it possible to buy an iphone for yourself at the apple store when you're using an upgrade from a different phone number on your plan?

    I broke my old phone a few days ago, and my phone number doesn't have an upgrade until the summer of next year. My dad offered me his upgrade, since he doesn't need a new phone and it would save me a few hundred dollars. Is it possible for me to go into the Apple store and purchase a new iPhone when I'm using an upgrade from a different phone number? I already cleared it over with the people at Verizon, who told me I could switch the upgrade over online.

    There are 2 issues here.
    Some carriers REQUIRE a data plan in order to use an iPhone on their network. This requirement will vary from carrier to carrier. The iPhone is designed to be constantly connected. If you do not manually go in and turn off cellular data (not just 3G) The phone will attempt to connect to the Internet over the cellular data network. If you have your carrier specifically block these requests, you shouldn't be charged for them. If not, it could end up costing you lots of money you didn't expect. The other thing that will happen is things like visual voicemail will not work (if the carrier supports it to begin with) and you will get lots of messages about not being able to connect to cellular data if you're not in range of WiFi you can connect to. MMS messaging also will not work.
    The second issue surrounds the statement: "use the iphone 4 with a standard cdma phone plan".
    It is NOT possible to purchase an unlocked CDMA iPhone. ALL CDMA iPhones are locked to Verizon.

  • Can I Use an IDE Cable from a Different Manufacturer?

    I've recently got an MSI Intel P7N board after my ASUS AMD A8N-SLi Deluxe one broke after a couple of years.  I've got a question though which I'm not quite sure of.  The new board only came with 1 IDE cable, can I use one of the cables from the old AMD board in the new one?  Are there any compatibility risks involved or are they all pretty generic?
    Cheers in advance.

    Cool thanks that's all I needed to know.  Best to make sure of these things before crashing my system 

  • Is it possible to use Itunes from a different country?

    I am currently using itunes music store in ireland but i want to use the itunes music store in the UK.Is it possible to do this and if so, how?

    A - no, except:
    In order to buy from a certain country's iTMS, you do need
    either: a CC with a billing address in that country
    or: an address in that country plus a prepaid card/gift voucher issued by iTMS in that country.
    If you don't meet one of this conditions, there is no solution for you.
    -sorry but the copyright holders wanted it that way.

  • 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 ?
