Can I use 85w Macbook pro charger with Macbook?

Hi,
I have a Macbook with a 60w charger (standard) but I also have a 85w charger going spare from a Macbook Pro, can i use the 85w Macbook Pro charger on my 13" Macbook as a spare or will it damage it?

Works fine - no damage. The 85 watt rating is the MAX load it can handle, the Macbook uses less, and will just take what it needs.

  • Can i use a 85 watt charger with a new macbook air

    Can i use a 85 watt charger with a new macbook air that comes with a 45 watt charger. One says its 14.8 volts and the other is 20 volts.

    To be clear, the wattage of the adapter is not the power delivered to the Mac, but rather the power the adapter is capable of delivering.
    Think of it as the difference between a 200 HP and a 400 HP engine; both can drive at a certain speed with no issues, the difference is what happens if you floor the gas pedal.
    The same is true between the higher wattage power adapter that comes with the iPad and the one that comes with iPhones; you can use the higher wattage adapter to charge and iPhone with no issue, but if you try and use the iPhone adapter to charge the iPad it may work, but it will take much, much longer.

  • Can I use Dell AOI 922 printer with MacBook Pro?

    Can I use Dell AOI 922 printer with MacBook Pro?

    Cisco:
    Very helpful!   My set up was Mac/ Lion trying to Print off a Dell Photo A10 922
    Lion does not store any Lexmark, nor dow Apple, but I went to the lexmark site, and found this-
    http://support.lexmark.com/index?productCode=LEXMARK_X5270&page=product&locale=E N&userlocale=EN_US#1
    Downloaded that, then hooked up the printer, Cmd-P, and the Mac found the drivers I had loaded.
    Works fine.  Now when I go to my sisters, I can print!
    byw, I'm probably just a Level 2  "GIYF"er, but your the only one ( of MANY folks) who thought to search Lexmart. I've seen posts by MANY geeks saying a Mac could not print to ANY Dell printer.
    Nice job,

  • Can I use the 40g/ipod charger with my ipad2?

    Can I use the 40g/ipod charger with my ipad2?

    Not the best idea, it'll overheat and could damage either the ipad or the charger. The iPad will be attempting to draw more wattage then the little charger is designed to put out.
    Here is a link for the proper one http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC359LL/A?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjA
    This would work for both :)

  • Can I use my G3 ipod charger with my new G5 ipod?

    I have just bought a new G5 ipod (80gig). As the new ones no longer ship with a charger in the box I was wondering whether I can still use the one that came with my old gen 3 ipod. The G3 charger is for a firewire connection and the G5 is now usb but if I connect the new ipod to the charger using the firewire cable that came with the G3 ipod using the dock connection will this work, or more importantly, do any damage. The link up would be : charger with firewire socket - firewire to dock cable- new 5G ipod dock connection socket.

    Yes, no problem. I have an older firewire charger that I use all the time.

  • Can i use an old car charger with a usb port to charge my iPhone 5s?

    Can I use an old car charger for a not smart phone to charge my iPhone 5s through the usb port?

    Usually you can!
    check if the specification of charger (USB output) is 5V (very important) and at least 500mA (more power like 1000mA --> 1A allow you to charge greater devices like iPad)
    But personally is not good idea, because in short/long time can damage or reduce the life of battery of your iPhone/iPad etc.
    Bye

  • Using Macbook Pro charger with European sockets

    No — just the plug adapter.

  • How can I use AirPlay Mirroring or equivalent with MacBook Pro 5,5?

    Hi!
    I have a MacBook Pro 5,5 (mid-2009 13"), which I recently treated with a RAM bump, an SSD drive and a shiny new battery.
    I'd like to buy an Apple TV in order to use AirPlay Mirroring. I understand that only the MacBook Pro laptops that have been released in 2011 or later are compatible with the feature, but I know that some third party apps (like AirParrot) offer a decent workaround. Unfortunately, it seems that the MacBook Pro 5,5 (i.e. my laptop!) isn't compatible with AirParrot.
    Does anyone have a solution for me?
    Thanks!!
    Paul

  • Can I use an 85 watt charger with my mac air

    I have multipke 85 watt chargers from mmp's but only one for a 2011 mac air and want to be sure that it is safe to use the 85 watt chargers, hate to waste $ purchasing a charger just for the mba.
    Thanks

    It's fine. You can use a higher than specified wattage, just not a lower one, when charging a MacBook.
    My MBA is tied to a 85 watt this very moment, and most of the time.

  • How can I use the remote that comes with MacBook?

    I have a MacBook remote (old macbook, not the pro). I no longer have the macbook computer, but I hope I can still use the remote. I do not know how. Please help me.

    Only if it has IR support. Otherwise, it cannot. You would need to connect an IR receiver to the USB port.

  • How can I use samsung printer scx-4016 with macbook

    can't load mac software on intel macbook.
    can't find mac driver or software on samsung site.
    has anyone else been able to use the multifunction printer with their intel macbook?

    You can try using one of the of the Gimp-Print
    drivers included with Mac OS X if you cannot locate
    printer software for your specific printer model. If
    your printer supports PostScript Level 2 or
    PostScript Level 3, select Generic PostScript Printer
    as the print model. If you are experiencing an issue
    using the driver designed for your printer model, you
    may be able to workaround the issue by adding the
    printer via a Gimp-Print driver or the Generic
    PostScript Printer Description file.
    I don't understand any of what you have written about Gimp-print drivers.
    This printer does not support postScript. Could you please give me more detailed instructions about what I should do.
    Sorry it has taken me this long to get back to this problem, but regular life got in the way to handling this until now. I have to copy everything I want to print to my windows machine from my macbook. I am very frustrated with it.
    Samsung is no help and only lists win or linux drivers.

  • MacBook Pro i7 with MacBook plastic unibody charger!

    Hi,
    This is my first post here. Basically I have a brand new mbp i7 2.66 and without realizing the difference I went and charged my machine with my friends mb plastic unibody charger. I just want to know if this will affect my mbp in anyway. I have heard some ppl say that it will damage the battery etc.. I only charged it once so I hope I haven't done any permanent damaged.

    No harm done. The MB's 60 watt adapter can't provide enough juice to power your MBP and charge its battery at the same time when it's working moderately hard, and under those circumstances the MBP's battery will actually be drawn down to supplement the limited power available from the adapter. So it's not a good idea to rely on that adapter when you need to use the MBP and charge its battery at the same time. But charging the MBP with it when it isn't in use is OK.
    One thing to be cautious about: the MB adapter may get hotter than the MBP's own adapter when used under the same conditions.
    You may want to mark the two adapters differently so you don't mix them up by mistake and grab the wrong one as you're rushing out the door sometime when having the right one is important.

  • Can I use my old firewire charger with my iPod Touch

    I've recently got an 8GB iPod Touch which obviously only came with a USB cable to charge and sync with my laptop.
    However, I've also got an old 4th generation 20GB iPod which came with a firewire lead that connects to a firewire mains charger. Can I use this to charge my iPod touch from the mains? Also can I use either the firewire or the old USB cable to connect to my laptop??
    Thanks very much.

    You can use the firewire charger to connect your Touch to the mains. I use my old one and it works just fine. I suppose you can also use it to charge using your computer though I can't say I've tried. However, as the newer iPods don't have any kind of firewire circuitry, you can't use the firewire cable to sync you iPod.
    Best of luck.
