Voltage and messing up my computer

I have a mac computer from the United States, but I moved to Europe now and I would like to know if I buy a European mac charger for my mac, will it do any damage to my computer or is it safe. The voltage is different and I dont want to ruin my computer. Thank you very much.

"When i plugged in my apple computer into my converter, I think my charger was too strong or something because then after a while pop! The breaker popped and now the low setting wont work."
Could you give more details on this please? What, exactly do you mean by 'converter'? The Apple charger supports 'universal voltage' and will work in the US and Europe. All that is required is a plug-adapter to allow you to physically plug the charger into a European socket.
If your unit got 'fried' further investigation is required.

I need help! My grandson was on computer and messed it up. I am currently in a text element? And there is a voice that speaks out all the activity. How do I get to normal use?

My grandson was on my computer and messed it up. I am currently running in a text mode with a voice detailing everything I do. How do I get back to normal?

You should give that young man his own account is Users and Groups.
Pre-readers can still log in when their picture or a favorite object is used as the icon for their account. I think his password can be blank, but if not, a single letter or a few letters will suffice.

I'm going to europe for 6 months my question does the voltage change can burn my computer...? what do i need to buy to ensure my macbook is safe and sound?

Read the small print on your power brick. It handles 110 - 240 volts automatically. All you need is a plug adapter to make your current wall plug fit the European wall sockets.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

[865PE/G Neo2 Series] I Messed Up My Computer Really Bad

Wow. Where to begin.
I was in my BIOS looking at DRAM timings and Frequencies... noticed that there for DDR500 it had (4:5), which I presume means the RAM runs out-of-sync with the processor. I tried it out to see what it would do.
Well, my computer wouldn't boot. And it wouldn't revert back to default BIOS settings which it normally does when I set something in the BIOS that it doesn't like. And I thought the appropriate course of action in this situation was to reset the CMOS battery. Evidently it was not the right thing to do, because it screwed everything up royally.
After resetting, I booted up and saw some CoreCell logo which I've NEVER seen before, ever. Instead of going to the screen which shows the Energy Star logo and lists all my hardware being checked, it goes to a couple lines saying something about Realtek Gigabit Ethernet controller. It busies itself for a few seconds, then says 'Boot Failed. Insert Boot Disk and press any Key'. Uh-oh.
I restart and try to get into my BIOS. It gives me options of either press F1 to go into Setup or F2 to Load Defaults or some damn thing. Eventually I get into the BIOS and its blue instead of red, like it always has been. All my options are obliterated - it doesn't even list any hard drives anywhere. Evidently it isn't recognizing either of my hard drives. I go into my motherboard manual and find the section about On-Chip IDE configuration. I don't even remember what the hell these settings were on before I screwed everything up. ATA Configuration was on PATA Only, SATA Keep Enabled was set to No. I don't know why because both of my drives are SATA.
I try setting SATA Keep Enabled to Yes, then reboot. It boots, and I'm finally here back in Windows. My system clock was five years off, but my data is here. It also detected some new Audio Hardware, but i just canceled.
Good god, someone please help me out here. I'm afraid to even shut off my computer or even mess with anything for fear of not even being able to get back into Windows.

OK, I went into the BIOS and put everything back to how it should be. A few things were strange though:
The order of the devices in Standard CMOS Features is different then it used to be. Before, the DVD drive was Primary IDE Master, the CD-RW the Primary IDE Slave, my boot HDD was Third IDE Master and my data HDD Fourth IDE Master. Now, my boot HDD is Primary IDE Master, data HDD is Secondary IDE Master, DVD Drive is Third IDE Master and CD-RW is Third IDE Slave.
Some of the voltages and frequencies were set to strange values. I thought the default AGP voltage was 1.5 and DDR voltage default 2.5. When I went into the BIOS the AGP voltage was 1.7 and the DDR Voltage 2.75. Before this all happened I had them set at 1.6 and 2.8 respectively. I changed them to those values and it booted fine. The 1.7 in particular worried me a little, because I remember reading somewhere that upping AGP voltage too far can do nothing but harm.
Its still a blue screen instead of red. I know this is trivial, but when the color's different, one tends to think that some setting is different, or the version is different, somehow. There isn't any background color setting in the BIOS that I know of.
I know I was overreacting a little, but it was too late at night and all I could think of was how I couldn't access the ten-page research paper that's on my hard drive, due in a couple days.

Recently when I connect Iphone 4s and MacBook Pro my computer stopped see new photos on Dropbox.

Recently when I connect Iphone 4s and MacBook Pro my computer stopped see new photos on Dropbox. I have changed iCloud password on Mac and Iphone, nothing. Deleted some pictures of iPhone, didn't help. Any ideas what I did to mess this up?

I cannot deleted. Computer keep telling that my dropbox is open. Don't see how to shot it off. Do I need to delete all pictures from dropbox first and delete application after. Will I loose all these pictures? Usually, I copy all photos to iphoto app.

OS X 10.4.6 Messes up my computer

I've been having lots of problems with my computer recently. I've been fiddling around with it for the past few hours, and I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is.
OS X 10.4.6
I've reformatted twice, and after every time I've installed OS X 10.4.6, the computer has crashed. The 1st time it removed a bunch of stuff from my menu bar and would not allow me to open most of my programs.
The 1st reformat I installed all of the available updates at the same time, and the computer refused to even get to the screen where the spinning circle-thing ( best way I can describe it) would show up.
The 2nd reformat I installed all of the updates EXCEPT 10.4.6, and it restarted twice fine, I could get on the internet and use iTunes Radio, etc.... After I installed 10.4.6, it refuses to boot completely again.
I'm all but sure that it's OS X 10.4.6 that's messing up my computer. I have no idea what to do now. If anyone has any recommendations, I would love to hear them. I really don't want to have to buy a new laptop.
Powerbook G4 1.33Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6) 80GB Harddrive

Well now that it is being really realized . . .
I have spent more time trouble shooting in 10.4.x than any OS. I spend 85% of my time now trying to figure things out or trying to fix missing menubar items whose settings reset or change themselves; resetting Sys Prefs that aren't sticking; networking problems; living through spinning beachballs of death when just trying to opening a new window; and much more, than using my machines for what I bought them for.
As part of trouble shooting I have spoken to almost every developer for every application that I use and/or beta test, doing due diligence, and in our conversations a general theme is surfacing with several devs saying that it is the new and growing topic at the developer conferences. And that is "OS10.4.x on anything less than a G5 is not working well". From the increased traffic on the boards from people that are in G4 and lower gear, I would believe this.
In past months I have spent a ton of time moving people back to 10.3.9 because when they upgraded to 10.4.x they started having nothing but problems including loss in speed and responsiveness. But not experiencing this in 10.3.x. For the weekend I'm on a 17" Powerbook to try anything and everything I can. I just did a clean install of 10.4 hopefully making it to 10.4.3 and with 10.3.6 on another partition I noticed a dynamic difference in speed and responsiveness switching between the two. This was the same on my G4 FW800 with further reductions at each next level up to 10.4.6. All installation practices and protocols have ALWAYS been meticulously observed. All installs were clean and up to as far as we were going checking progressive performance prior to the installation of ANY third party applications. The clean OS installs were backed up to revert to for the individual install and testing of third party apps. Then a complete evalution at install. Personally another blow was the latest Office 11.2.3 update that really trashed Office 2004.
So basically what I am hearing from those that are making software for this OS is that there are problems and more so for those of us that are "not G5 and up". When I go through the many forums that I track, I make note of the gear that people are using and G5's are having similar problems also, but not as much as G4's and lesser.
It'll only be a matter of time before more of this surfaces. What with this as a growing topic at the developer conferences.
Those sceptics say what you will, but we'll just have to see. There's too many developers that are tired of having their software unduly blamed, and they are starting to speak out.

My kids messed with my computer

My kids messed with my computer and somehow deleted my profile I took it in and had a service develop another profile and back up all the documents in my original profile. Now ITunes does not recognize my IPOD and it will not sync my music however it will synce my movies that I had on my IPOD. Can anyone help?

I want to know hardware to collect voltage and current from battery and read it through labview

Hi all ,
As per requirement of my job I want to measure voltage and current of battery connected to motor. I want to read those voltage and current through Labview. I want to know what hardware I need to acquire that voltage and current and feed it to computer and read through Labview.
I also want to know, whether I need to program according to hardware I use or Whatever I will program will read data coming from hardfwarwe?
Please give suggestions over it .
Thanks

c54909,
It depends on what equipment you have available and what is your budget. You could for example use a storage oscilloscope with a current probe to accomplish this task. This will give you very good timing waveforms if your charging sequences are short.
If you are looking to automate I would recommend using any GPIB controllable power supply by Agilent or HP such as a (Agilent E3634A) and a USB-HS from National Instruments.
Keep in mind depending on how accurate you want your data you may need a GPIB current meter to read low currents in the uA. If you only need mA resolution you can usually use the same power supply you are making the voltage reading from. You want to make sure you pay attention to things like current limits on your supply and Over Current Protection settings (OCP) as they can make testing interesting.

Adobe Acrobat Download and Reinstall on New Computer

I purchased and installed Adobe X back in Feb. But I would now like to download and install on another computer. I can find the product code but how do I access the download file for installation on another computer?

So the old computer bit the dust? If that is the case and this is Acrobat X Pro then it's just a matter of downloading the Trial version. The Trial version will accept your serial number. If this is Acrobat X Standard and you don't have access to the original download link that you were sent then you need to contact Adobe Customer Service.

HT204053 why are not all my songs I have purchased in the itunes store and are on my computer not on my phone?

why are not all my songs I have purchased in the itunes store and are on my computer not on my phone? Very frustrating I purchaed almosta $100 worth of songs for a trip and they are not on my phone after continuious syncs. Do I have to pay for itunes match for this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you actually selected them to be synced to your device from the iTunes sync settings.

TS1424 I downloaded a song and it says my computer is not authorized to play it, but when I put in my apple id and password to authorize it it tells me this computer is already authorized! What do I do?

I downloaded a song from itunes and it says my computer is not authorized to play it, to authorized enter your apple id and password so I did, then it said that this computer was already authorized, but it still won"t let me play the song! What do I do?

Apparently not!! I am NOT happy about it either! I had always bought my mp3's from walmart.com (until they quit doing it) & ANY time I had a problem, they had it corrected in less than 5 minutes! Apple is a large enough company, that they should have an EASY to find support system. Having to post on here, WAITING for someone who MIGHT know how to fix it, is aggrevating!! I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANY MORE MUSIC FROM ITUNES & WILL BE GOING TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN AN APPLE PRODUCT!

Cannot access to any site with ssl connection and fail to open safari and keychain, unless restart computer and login in with Guest account.

when Update to 10.7.2 ,I cannot access to any site with ssl connection and fail to open safari and keychain, unless restart computer and login in with Guest account.
OS:10.7.2
Macbook Pro 2010-mid 13inch

I also have the same problem, however if I use Firefox or Opera sites with ssl connection work fine. Still, I can't use Google Chrome (ssl), Safari (ssl), the Mac app store (generally), or the iTunes store (generally). Both the iTunes store, Safari and the app store won't respond, and Chrome displays this error: (net::ERR_TIMED_OUT). The problem persists regardless of what network I'm using. Also, when trying to access the keychain or iCloud, the process will not start (will hang). I didn't have these problems at all before updating to 10.7.2.
Sometimes rebooting helps, and sometimes not. If the problem disappears by rebooting, then it only lasts a few minutes before it reappears. It is very frustrating, especially since there doesn't seem to be any obvious or consistent way of which to fix it.
I'm also using a Macbook Pro 13-inch mid 2010.
