What Does Flashing Green Power Cord Light Mean?

Today, my MacBook Pro Retina charging cord started showing a flashing green light on the mag-safe connector. What does this mean and how can I fix it?

This sounds like some sort of power issue.
Are you using the 3 prong plug or the 2 prong (dusk head)? If you are using the dusk head try the 3 prong.
You can try a SMC reset:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Also read thru this and check all that it suggests:
Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters
Check/clean pins/sockets
If still no joy there may a damaged conductor in the cable/attachment to the brick issue.
You can take it to an Apple Genius bar for a free diagnosis/evaluation, bring both the computer and the power supply.
Make an appointment first, as they can be quite busy:

What is the ac power cord for

i dont know why i have it

Macs have a brick and a long cord that has a 3-prong plug to use with grounded systems. They also have a small 2-prong plug if you only have a 2-plug in the wall.
Use the 3-prong plug to ground it if you can.
I hope this helps.

Gary, you wouldn't believe some of the questions people ask on this site.
Why are both cords necessary?
They are not.
Other than the two reasons dominic23 sited are there any other reasons to use the AC power cord rather than the power adapter cord alone?
No.

It means you changed some settings for how your iPod interacts with iTunes, you can either click Apply to confirm the changes, or Revert to undo them. This does not delete any content.

What does the message mean time capsule already in use when it refueses to backup?

Just the network is cranky..
Simple first step.. restart the TC.. ie unplug the power cord.. count to 10.. plug it back in.
Second step if that fails.. restart the network.. off everything.. restart in order.. modem.. TC.. clients 2min gap.
Finally if you are prepared to fight you can load 5.6 utility onto Mountain Lion and do a disconnect all users.. or a few other ways.. turn off file sharing and turn it back on.
The issue being TM did not dismount the sparsebundle correctly.

What is the best way to hook up a telephone line to an i- mac so I can receive faxes directly to my computer?

What is the best way to hook up a telephone line to an i- mac so I can receive faxes directly to my computer?
I tried usb modems. They worked ok for 32 bit usb's but Lion only allows 64 bit. I bought one from Best Buy and it works when it wants to. Mostly, it doesn't want to!
Is there a way to connect through a time capsule?

Thanks for that!!
Zoom - 56K V.92 USB Mini External Data/Fax Modem
I didn't look any further than this. I bought this at Best Buy and like I said, it works somesimes. It does not trigger the fax automatically when the phone rings. You need to have it manually answer. In the past, I had the 32 bit Apple version of this external USB modem and it worked without issue.

Hello crysta33,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The screen with an iTunes logo and cord indicates the device is in recovery mode, and will need to be restored by using iTunes. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

What does the folder with a question mark mean?

When I power on my black Macbook a white screen appears with a folder with a question mark flashing. what does the folder with a question mark mean? I just replaced the hard drive. When I put the install disc in the cd drive makes a very loud whirring noise then eventually the disc pops back out. Any ideas?

You will need to reinstall:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Exactly what does the Data Drop-down List do?

What does the Data Drop-down List do? Is it used to make a drop-down list from certain records in a column in a table of a data base?

Yes, this is exactly what it does. However, it's a custom control, not a built-in control. JavaScript is used to set it up. In order to use it you have to have a data connection in the document and modify the "Initialize" script, which is were the list is populated from the DB. The "Initialize" code is a good example of how to use XFA JavaScript to access a DB. However, the code is also written in a very general manor and takes the long way around to hooking up to the DB. Much shorter code can be written for a specific DB.

What does the icon on my battery mean?

hello nokia lebanon what does the exclamation mark (?) shown at the battery icon means ?
Moderator's note: The title was edited. A better subject was provided.

Hi NicolasMansour,
What's your phone's model? If this is for a Windows phone, can you verify if this is the icon that you're seeing? If yes, that means the battery power or state of the battery isn't known at the current time. See: What do the icons on my phone mean? If you're referring to a different phone or a different icon, would you mind telling us its model and sending us a screenshot so we can further check?
We look forward to your reply. BTW, congratulations on your first post.

What does the Mac Pro do? and who uses it?

Hey guys, I want to know What does the Mac Pro does and which type of people use it.

To add a slightly less technical perspective, I bought a new Mac Pro because it fits my preferred working style rather than because I need its specific computing power (And also because my 2008 MP crapped out and I got tired of fixing it).
When my old Mac Pro died, I ran out and bought a Macbook Pro Retina and used it as my desktop while waiting for the new cylinder MP. The MBPr was stunning and performed like a champ. However, I was reluctant to use it as a laptop (i.e., travel with it) since it was my sole platform for client work and I didn't want to jeopardize my ability to work/deliver should something nasty happen on the road.
So maybe I'm a bit old fashioned, but I like to have a desktop mac for my primary workstation (I'm a graphic designer and photographer) and a laptop for the road. I use a high-end, wide spectrum monitor for color critical work, so while it's true that an iMac would have the power to run the stuff I need, I prefer to have options with my monitor.
Again, just another perspective that might factor into a purchase decision. How do you like to work and what works best for your situation? It isn't always mandatory to have the fastest and latest (unless, as in my case, it falls into your established criteria/working style).

What does the padlock on I-Tunes mean?

I just bought my Nano today and having troubles. I hooked it up and it automatically downloaded my songs on it. But now it's got a padlock at the bottom of screen by the bar that shows how much memory is used and what's left on my I-Pod and the list of songs are not black for me to click and move. What does the padlock mean?
thanks
Chris
Nano

The padlock icon indicates that you have the iPod set to auto transfer. That's also why the songs are 'greyed out' and not selectable or editable.
If you want to change this, you'll have to select manual transfer instead.

I was playing with my ipad settings (it's an older model) and noted in the advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view website databases. When I clicked on this I saw websites. How do these get there and what does the space amount mean?

I was playing with my ipad settings and noted in he advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view "website databases". When I selected this I saw a multitude of websites.
Can anyone tell me how these get there? Can a website be posted even if it was never went to? What does the space amount mean? For example, 1.5 kb...is this quite a bit? Would it indicate someone has gone to a site multiple times?
I share my ipad with my teenage daughter and I'm trying to find out if she's lying to me. Obviously she's swearing that she has "no idea" how these got there and I'm trying to keep her safe (she's only 14).
Thanks everyone.

Think of your PC and the 'temporary internet folder' where it keeps cached copies of web pages or elements off a web page for 'quicker display the next time you visit'. That's pretty much what that folder is. 1.5K is tiny. Probably just a basic page with some text on it. (you might be confusing 1.5K with 1.5 megabyte....megabyte is large...it's roughly 1000 kilobytes, so the 1.5K is a tiny file)
As far as I know, the only way info gets into that folder is if the browser has been to that site.
if you have a concern there are browsers out there, McGruff is one i've seen recommended, that allow some degree of parental control and supervision. That or you could passcode lock the iPad or enable the restrictions to turn off some parts of the device to have some control.
