Hi,

Yeah can understand however the placement of the cable is something that 
everyone needs to think about 

But good luck either way.

Hi Simon and Hannah
Don't get me wrong.
I have been, and can still use, the extension, but due to my home set up, it is 
potentially dangerous. For example, it could wrap around the chair or even 
someone's leg. So a new charger would be worth it for me to eliminate that 
potential.

You can probably just buy that little slide in part for the charger.  Or just 
buy a charger.  You can get them on amazon for 40 or 50 bucks, quite a bit less 
than apple’s list price.

RE: Question about my mac and the extension for the transformer

2016-12-05 Thread Simon Fogarty 
HI Hannah & Chris,

Don't get me wrong,

I've got 2 ac adapters for my mac book air and one that I use at home I have 
the extension connected 24 7,
 The second I have at work and that doesn’t' have the extension as the lead is 
long enough to go over or round the back of my desk.

 Either way should be fine,

 Unless there are broken coating then no need to by a new charger.

Re: Question about my mac and the extension for the transformer

2016-12-04 Thread Tim Kilburn 
Hi,

The assessment of the safety hazard level with or without the extender is a 
matter of the individual situation.  If the charger will reach the wall outlet 
and be connected to the computer without having the cord be up in the air, or 
not in the direct path of movement, then it is fine without the extender.  If 
the extender creates a tripping hazard because it is coiled up and too long for 
the connection, that also can be problematic.  The fine fibre cabling between 
the brick and the MagSafe connector can also get frayed quite easily with lots 
of use and therefore, you should replace the charger at that point.  I've 
started having one for home and one for work so that they last longer from not 
needing to be wrapped up daily.  Of course, this means I have to remember to 
take one of them when I go out of town for work.  Needless to say, I've 
forgotten it once, bummer.

Oh well, I digress.

Later...

RE: Question about my mac and the extension for the transformer

2016-12-04 Thread Simon Fogarty 
Yah Hi Tim and Chris,

 The little brick has a removable power connector, that would be the prongs or 
points for going into the wall socket.

 These socket heads are also the removable heads from the older iPhone and iPad 
ac adaptors where the head could be removed.

  And they are switchable between the devices.

Hi,

Yes, and my sighted daughter just confirmed that there will be two choices of 
connection for the UK as well.  That is, one little thing connected directly to 
the brick, and the longer extender that can be used if you remove the little 
adaptor from the brick.

Evening everyone.

I have a late 2011 13 inch Macbook Pro, as you may or may not know. This of 
course comes with the old charger where the transformer comes with an 
extension. My concern is I appear to require the extension in order to charge 
this mac. Is this correct? If not, should I be concerned? I am due to upgrade 
probably around my birthday anyway as I am just ready for one.
Thanks for any responses. These will be very much appreciated.

Re: Question about my mac and the extension for the transformer

2016-12-03 Thread Jonathan Cohn 
I would not be too concerned, but I would not try using the shorter plug in the 
mean time. There is a good chance you could trade it in fairly easily. If I 
remember correctly from my stays in UK, the connector on the transformer is 
like a UK plug connector in any case.

Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn

Re: Question about my mac and the extension for the transformer

2016-12-03 Thread Tim Kilburn 
Hi,

Not sure if I totally understand.  The MacBook Pro would have came with the 
charging brick, and two methods of plugging that brick into the wall.  
Normally, the two-prong connection is connected directly to the brick, and 
there's an extension that allows it to be made into a longer cord.  You remove 
the one connector and replace it with the cord extender.  Now, upon further 
thought, this is the North American setup, the European system may be somewhat 
different, whereby the extension is required.  I'm not sure though.  It all 
depends on the configuration of the prongs for the differing outlet designs.  
The actual brick is the same, I imagine that the attachments for each 
country/continent is different though though.
