HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!
I just purchased a Targus Auto/Air adapter...
It says it had a powertip for the ibook. I tried plugging it in (to my ibook clamshell) and found that it wouldnt go in all the way.
But the powertip is the EXACT same type as my ibook's power adapter....
Why won't it work?
I'm taking a flight in less than a week and need help urgently!!

It isn't exactly the same, that's the problem.

Re: HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!
You're probably holding the adaptors side by side and they're the same width and length. Take a look at the front of the adaptor plug. You might notice that one had a hole and the other one either doesn't or it's a different size. It's made so it won't fit into the hole so you don't fry your computer (or at least blow a fuse). It probably gives more amperage than what's required.
