During emergency here I recharged my iPhone with a UPS battery box. It also worked to recharge the iPad. This is another good reason to have a UPS in your house and perhaps a reminder to get one with a bigger battery than you think you need just for the computer.

Also recharged iPhone in my car.

Was not able to recharge iPad in car with same charger as for iPhone so I need to look into that possibility.

Any suggestions for a car charger device for iPad for a car?

Dan,
I picked up a Griffin dual car charger at the Apple store last weekend to replace a different brand that had failed. It has 2 USB ports that get 10w each and comes with one USB cable with a 30 pin connector. Gave it a couple of test runs to be sure it works and it does.

Thanks for this info Dave.

I've bought Griffin products in the past and was usually happy with
them.

Is it this? Very compact design that has standard USB ports so it can be
used with many cables/products. Look for
*Griffin GC23110 PowerJolt Micro Dual USB Charger for iPhone and iPod*

After suffering numerous power outages through the years, I finally invested in a Perigee Basic solar power generator. It's portable also. Had to delay buying a new/used laptop, but the grid here is shaky.

a bit pricey, but seems worth the cost.
i had planned on buying a gas generator if i rent/buy house.
probably still will. but good to know there are more green alternatives.

Yes. Fiber optic service requires power and the Verizon provider installs a digital fiber UPS in your house/office. Fiber doesn't carry electricity.

But old POTS (plain old telephone service) which runs over copper wire also requires power.

In the United States and Canada (the old Bell System) power came from the telephone company for POTS service and during a power outage is supplied by massive glass drum wet cell batteries found in each central switching office. The wet cells are about 2 feet in diameter and about 3 feet tall.

This is one of the reasons it makes economic sense for spending vast sums to pay for trenching fiber under ground. MUCH less costly central office space and infrastructure to maintain. Add this to installing digital switches to replace the old much larger mechanical switches and you have phone companies now able to downsize their central office square footage like mad demons. Add the financial incentive that makes the customer responsible for replacing that home battery instead of the phone company - multiply the savings by millions of customers and you have a good idea for the reason for fiber to the house service.

Could someone explain the rules? Some off topic discussions are allowed to continue while others are shut down quickly. It can be confusing if it is up to the whims of the moderators. Not that this or other, off topic discussions aren't interesting.

Howdy.

I was the original poster and was trying to link this recent storm to
use of the iPhone and ways to keep it charged in case of emergency.

An occasional off topic post can be OK but you are probably right this
this topic became off topic.

There is a difference between a "whim' and a "judgement" call. Moderators are not dictators. More like parents trying to build vibrant communities. It's a tough job.

If that's the case people shouldn't get so upset when moderators let a discussion continue on.

Hi folks,
I have read this forum daily for years and I know there are very knowledgeable contributors here and I have learned so much from you. Thank you so much. Great source of knowledge and news for newbies and oldies alike.

I currently run two Imacs and a MacBook Pro 17.

I am looking to upgrade my old MacBook Pro 17.
It is a 2007 MacBook Pro 17in Core Duo 2G ram and OSX10.6.8. It has been extremely solid all these years. I finally had to replace a fan this year as the only repair I have had to do. It is a fine product indeed. But it is long in the tooth and slow to run apps which require heavy video processing.

So I am considering a refurbished MacBook Pro 17 from Apple. In researching the 2010 and 2011 models there seems to have been numerous problems, especially freezing issues. I cannot tell how widespread these problems have been or if they have all been sufficiently addressed if systemic hardware problems.

Guess I am spoiled by my current MacBook Pro and I am having trouble assessing the probability of running into problems. I know there is a chance but I would like to know the odds.

So if anyone out there can shed some light on this I would certainly appreciate it. Or possibly direct me to sources for additional research.
thanks,
Bill

Hi Anna,

I don't think the screen print is the issue. I'm sure the problem is some preference file is corrupted and needs to be trashed but I don't know which and where. It also works for other words and documents so it may also be a privacy setting but I don't have anything set up like that on the Mac that I can see.

I want to name this water bill using the same convention each time so I want to click on an existing water bill file and get the naming convention and then just change the last 6 digits which are the date of the bill.

Do you have Adobe Flash installed?

That should be Adobe Reader not Flash.

Howdy.

More than one thing might trigger this issue.

It could be that the router "bleeped" when computer was trying to
connect then computer tried to connect a 2nd time with a different
name.

Take a look at the Sharing panel in System Preferences, click on File
Sharing and see if there is some kind of new User listed, then click
the Options… button and check what's listed.

It could be that some sharing service (see the Sharing panel in System
Preferences) is causing the issue. Might be DVD or CD sharing, for
example. If on, try turning some or all of these services off and then
testing it.

It is possible that Bonjour might be causing a problem. I'm uncertain
about his but I think you can do a yahoo search for a Terminal command
that might impact the problem or at least be a step to solving the
problem.

I think you can also use Terminal to rename your computer-as-host name
but again Terminal isn't my area of expertise and I suggest a Yahoo
search for this command.

You might try a system-wide reset. Turn off Sharing services in the
Sharing panel. Shut down all computers, devices, iPhones, iPads,
network printers, music players, Ethernet switches, routers, etc.
Wait a few minutes. Then start by turning on the router only and wait
about 2 minutes for it to get itself ready, then turn on an Ethernet
switch next (if you have a separate one). Turn on WiFi next (if you
have a separate WiFi base station) and wait about a minute for it to
set up. Then start booting computers. Last turn on network printers
and other devices like iPhones/iPads, music devices, set top boxes,
AppleTV, Sony PlayStations, AV/Receivers/Amps with Ethernet
connections, TVs with Ethernet connections.

See what happens.
