I've read all these question and answers and I'm still having problems fitting this converter into the Safari Al-Star. Does it need to be forced in?

No, the converter has two dots on the sides that slide into a couple of receiver tabs on the Al-Star's section. It fits perfectly.

First, you have no doubt already inspected the front of the filler to make sure it doesn't have a plastic chad blocking it.Next, as you know there are little numbs on the sides of the filler about 1/3 the way down the clear part of the tube. They have to go into the right places in the section. If you are hitting a "hard stop" be sure these little projections are going where they need to go. Also, back the plunger off a few turns. The fit is snug but should not require hard pushing. If it doesn't work with firm slow pressure, send it back. This bit of plastic comes dear and for that it should work.

HELP!I have a MAC and I cannot figure out how to get my files onto this thing. It says.. ELEMENTS can't be modified when I try to drag and drop my files. It says the device needs to be reconfigured to work with a MAC. Does anyone have any suggestions how I get this to work?

Regardless of where you purchase the adapter, you should call Sony tech support to verify which hot shoe adapter you need. I ended up ordering the wrong one and now have to return it. They don't make it easy to figure this out, in fact, I was on hold for quite some time before I was able to get a definite answer. Just explain what you are tryinig to do and ask them to tell you what you need. I went from the A350 to the A77II so the (fairly expensive) flash I currently own won't fit. Hopefully the adapter will do the trick. I have seen positive and negative feedback.

Check out the photos on the Amazon product page. Although the photos show a converter, this fits into the nib unit in exactly the same way as a cartridge. Simply, but gently, push the smallest end of the cartridge into the opening behind the threaded portion of the nib unit so that the nipple inside the unit pierces the membrane at the tip of the cartridge. You may have to wait a moment or two for the ink to get through - a couple of quick but gentle downward shakes usually does the trick (but don't bang the nib down on the paper to start the inkflow!), or you can even give the cartridge a slight squeeze if necessary. Sounds much harder than it actually is! Just check the photos for how the pen looks disassembled and have a play around. Easy.

No. The Rogue Safari needs a hot shoe to attach to the camera. The camera flash pops open under the Rogue Safari which magnifies the flash output from the camera. See Rogue Safari web site for suitable camera models.

You would have no reason to use this item if your machine is 2012 or newer. But the earlier Apple Magsafe adapters used a "side-winder" design that won't fit on the newer machines. Your options are either to use your old Magsafe adapter with this converter or to purchase a whole new adapter (make sure its a MagSafe 2 adapter). It's not a no-brainer, since in some cases there's no more than a $5 difference. (I'm seeing MagSafe 2 adapters on eBay for $23, incl. postage. I'll probably go with the converter as long as the cost is under $15 (incl. postage) because I have 5-6 of the old adapters and hate to simply toss them. On the other hand, these converters are tiny, and I've lost one already. You would have no reason to use this item if your machine is 2012 or newer.

Yes I do, on my Ipad Mini Retina.My converter it´s original from apple.I think it´s to mucho things connected. Look´s like a Frankstein solution. Would be better ir the convertor have a wire to do not force the connectiions.My opinion: I am not happy and I will try to use the CCK with a usb-midi converter.PS. You need to use a independent power supply for your controller keyboard

No. I purchased the adapter and nothing happened. It's a great deal for the price. Hoping that some wizard figures out how to make it happened!

I haven't tried it but with converters you can do about anything. Apple products in my experience are the easiest to use any kind of video and convert it on the way in but like I said I haven't tried it.

Please check WWW.westinautomotive.com/applicationchart for all compatibility. Select safari light bar for this particular product. Please remember to order by part number and the matching mounting kit is listed as well.

I have no idea. I had no problem with any of my devices. The iPhone charger and camera battery charger plugs both fit into the adapter without a problem. I didn't take a hairdryer with me on safari, but I just tried it here at home and it plugged in just fine.

With a MAC I would try to get a ready made cable from apple..Customer service can't blame your problem on another manufacturer..It's all their stuff.. I don't like adapters. They introduce another source of resistance , they stick out further {bump into stuff, especially with portable devices], and any device with cable management they may not fit. TV/Monitors with a cable trough and a cover to route cables together..Anyway, I'd get it from AMAZON. You can send it back.

I just returned from East Africa and used it there with a converter. I always have one with me when I travel abroad. I don't remember right now, but I believe the instructions stated a converter was needed.

I don't know. If you can plug into a America like plug then yes, if not you will need a converter. My only problem with this product is the attachments won't stay in after about month it less. I use the big brush all the time so my husband put 2 short screws into it to hold it on. Which h works great.I would buy one like this wasn't interchangeable. Even through I like the idea cuz I do travel some.

I wouldn't know. Unfortunately, I received a product that does not work. But, it's my understanding that people are having a 50% success rate with this. Try asking one the people who got the converter to work.
