Using the Kensington Power Inverter w/ iBook G4

I'm going to be going on a trip soon and I was hoping to use the Kensington Power Inverter for use with cars. I'm worried, however, that the inverter will not be able to provide enough power.
When I purchased my iBook, it originally came with a 60W power adapter. A dog kind of ruined that one, and since then I've had to replaced it with a 65W adapter. I'm a little confused as too whether this is 60/65W input out output.
My worry is spurred on by the fact that the Power Inverter can provide 60W continuously, but 75W for only five minutes. I'm wondering if my laptop can be charged or run continuously off of this inverter or not.
P.S. This is the same Kensington Power Inverter that can be found at the Apple Store here. The review apparently hints that it should work, but I'm just a little paranoid, so humor me.

The question should be what is the recommended for minimum free hard drive space.

  • Can I use the same power charger in another country (South Africa) and just but a socket adapter?

    I am moving to South Africa from the US for a year and want to know if I can use the same power charger in South Africa and just but a socket adapter or do I need to get a new power charger for S.A.?

    Hi,
    Nowadays laptop chargers can be used for normal electricity around the world (110V to 250V). All we need is a small plug adapter similar the the ones we use to travel overseas. Most electrical shops, travel agents and airports ... sell them.
    Regards.

  • Using the Firewire power cord for transfers

    I have a 20 GB, fourth generation, iPod. It came with a USB adaptor for transfers and a firewire adaptor for charging. The firewire cable plugs into a charging block which connects to an electrical outlet. Is it possible to disconnect the firewire cable from the charging block and use it as a normal firewire cable for transfers? I ask because I have a front mounted Firewire port on my PC, but no available USB port. TIA

    Semantics? Well not really. If you ask a question
    here about a usb adaptor, others will think you are
    referring to the power adaptor, not a usb cable which
    "connects" a usb port to a dock connector rather than
    "adapts".
    Yes, semantics. And yes, the Firewire to iPod dock connector, and the USB to iPod dock connector are, in fact, adaptor cables. Just because Apple may not use the term doesn't change what they are. Even Apple refers to their power adaptors as "power adaptors", or "charging blocks", USB or not. I never used the word "power", when referring to them so "adaptor" still applies.
    Do a search for USB adaptor cables and you will find quite a diversity of products yet few, if any, include any form of power supply.
    There are 4 pin and 6 pin firewire cables. Apple
    provides the 6 pin variety which transfers both data
    and power.
    You do have the 6 pin port on your computer?
    Of course.

    I don't know about that for sure, but my guess is that it won't matter.  Battery technology today is much better.   You should follow Apples battery tips here:

  • Can I use the old power supply with the new unit?

    I have a second generation Apple TV. When I install the new unit next week can I use the old power supply with the new one and the new power supply with the old one? This would save some messing with cords behind the units.

    Hello:
    I would definitely not try that.....  The power supplies may be compatible - or may not be compatible.  I think messing with cables is a small price to pay for not potentially frying a new device.

  • How can I find which applications are using the most power?

    I have recently noticed a full charge of power doesn't last as long as it used to on my iPad 2.  Is there some way to determine which applications are using the most power?
    I have been monitoring my home network router accesses and have noticed the iPad logs accesses every 15 seconds.  This only happened recently.  It had been well behaved and only accessing once or twice a day before.  I installed the most recent iTunes upgrade, per suggestions during a Sync.  The problems seemed to occur after this update.  I have gone through all the settings and have minimized the applications requiring higher power (I switch off the location services unless I'm away from home.  Likewise, I turn off my cellular carrier unless I'm away from home, etc.)
    In short, how can I maximize my power usage (aside from turning it off)?
    Thanks.
    Dave

    Thanks for responding so quickly.
    I'm really trying to find out why the battery is depleting much faster than it used to all of a sudden.  I used to be able to put a full charge on it and it would last about 5 to 6 days with normal use (normal for me).  Now that battery only lasts about 2 to 3 days with the same use.
    I DO recharge it when it needs to be charged but this is indicating there is something else (new) that is causing the power drain.

  • Is it safe to use the Belkin power strip with USB ports to charge my iPad? Or is the iPad USB adapter the safest route to take when traveling with device?

    Is it safe to use the Belkin power strip with USB ports to charge my iPad?
    Or is it better to travel with the Wall Charger provided with iPad?
    Concerned about safety of the device. Thanks for your thoughts.

    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%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    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.

  • IPad WiFi 3G can't be charged using the 10W power adapter

    Hi,
    My new iPad gives me Not charging sign when I use the 10W power adapter comes with, and even I can't connect it to iTunes in my Macbook Air, windows XP, or windows7 laptops. I tried everything apple support provided but again nothing.
    So, I'm open for suggestions.

    I would try another charger and cable.
    If that doesn't fix the problem, I'd take it back to the seller for replacement.

  • How can I fully used the display power in VMWare Fusion

    Hi,
    I am a newbie in in MAC. I've bought a MBP with embedded & standalone display card. I have installed windows in VMWare. However, it's display power in Windows Experience index is just 1. I think it's due to the display driver used in something call "WM SVG2", (not sure, as I am not next to it now). Also, I found there is an unknown device which I think is related to the build in Webcam
    Can someone help me:
    Can I fully utilized the display power of my MAC and how?
    How to resolve the unknown device related to the Webcam?

    MacPro Mac OS X (10.5.7) Windows VISTA

    No, sorry. There's no way to do that in a virtual machine. Remember, that OS X is the booted operating system and it has control over your hardware. The virtual machine, as far as OS X is concerned, is just another application running alongside any and all other applications (and really, that IS all it is, just very clever software to emulate a computer within a computer). Any hardware calls from Windows have to go through the virtual machine software interface and then are handled by OS X. OS X does not support using both video subsystems simulataneously, and even if it did (or perhaps will, in future machines) your installation of Windows cannot access ANY hardware directly, so you still would be unable to achieve true native Windows performance.

  • Is it possible to use the Study Cards feature in iBooks without the special new .iBooks format?

    The all new iBooks 2 has been released today, with quite a compelling array of features for students. I've watched a few videos, among those the introducory video from Apple, and one of the features that appealed to me most is the Study Cards feature, which uses notes you've created to generate study cards you can practise with.
    Now, I have a bunch of .ePub books, most of which are annotated and have notes. To my surprise (and a tiny bit of frustration) however, I wasn't able to find the button to activate Study Cards.
    I've tried to make a book myself using the also newly released iBooks Author application, and found that with the new book it indeed is possible to use the notes.
    Is there any way to make Study Cards available for .ePub books as well?

    I was thinking, perhaps there's a way to import ePub files into the iBook Author software, and thus create an iBooks format that enables the use of Study Cards.
    I haven't found an easy way to do so yet, though. Perhaps some authors with more experience could share their methods of converting their published books to this new format, so we can try to do it with our own (DRM free) ebooks?

  • If I use the 10W power pack (received with my iPad) to charge my iPhone 4S hurt my phone battery?

    Will the 10W USB Power adapter (I got w/my iPad) hurt my iPhone 4S?

    No. The iPhone will draw as much power as it requires to charge its battery. It cannot draw too much, nor can it draw more than the adapter is capable of providing.
    Conversely, you may also use the iPhone 4S charger to charge the iPad. It will just take longer to charge than it would with the iPad's charger.
