Quester, the charger is actually inside the base of the MacBook, generally it is a built-in AC adapter, and shunts power to both charging and powering the laptop.
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bah. The sound stopped working on my MacBook Pro. When I press the various volume and mute buttons, there is a small circle with a line through it below the volume bar graph.
Rebooting didn't help. When I plug headphones into it, they work, and when I use the volume controls the little circle with a line through it goes away. But when I unplug the headphones, sound no longer works and that circle with a line through it comes back.
eta: When I go to System Preferences, Digital Out is the only option that shows up under Sound / Output.

Trust my rage
Tommy, I have no suggestions but that has happened with my MacBook a few times after I've been listening with headphones. It has always fixed itself but I don't know how/why.

Your sounds issue looks like this one.

After reading that link from Rob, I am reminded that many plastic ball point pen refills are about the right diameter to stick in a headphone jack to reset it.
The things one has stuffed in one's head...

What's the best way to merge 2 iTunes and iPhoto libraries?
I'm in nesting mode and want to turn my old G5 into a media server so DH and I can stop holding onto duplicate copies of every song and photo we own.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
If both systems are running iTunes 9, if you map one compter's library onto the other, you can merge them.

Thanks, Rob. After reading that, I tried plugging in headphones and then removing the plug while pulling it at a weird angle. Worked on the first try.

Oooh. So if I want two libraries to live as one on a third computer, I'd just transfer one to the server-to-be, and then map the other one onto it?
