Can i use a charger from a pre-2011 macbook pro on my 2012 macbook pro?

left my charger out of state, it's being shipped but in the meantime i need to charge my laptop! a friend has a charger that i think is from a 2011-2010 macbook pro.  will this work? is it bad for my computer?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. Both MacBooks Pro have the same power settings and the same charger, so there won't be any problem, more if both of them are 13-inch MacBooks Pro or 15-inch MacBooks Pro.
In the case of 13-inch MacBooks Pro and 15-inch MacBooks Pro, they come with chargers that provide different power, 60W for the 13-inch MacBook Pro and 85W for the 15-inch MacBook Pro. If you use a 15-inch MacBook Pro charger with a 13-inch Mac, you won't have any problem, but if you use a 13-inch MacBook Pro charger with the 15-inch MacBook Pro, the charge may be slower

  • Can I use AC charger from ipod mini on new nano???

    My son had an ipod mini. He had bought an AC charger for it. I am buying him an ipod nano for his birthday (ipod mini went bad...). Can he use the charger from the mini to the nano???

    Maybe, depends on the charger. It would appear that while older iPods only needed the power pins, newer ones may require the data pins to also be active for charging. Some chargers do not connect the data pins at all.
    But it won't damage the Nano. It will either work fine or do nothing at all.
    Which charger is it?

    You can also use the iPad charger (12W) to charge the iPhone (its charger is 5W) and it will charge the iPhone faster.

    This question comes up from time to time. YouTube and Facebook are both wrong.
    There are a number of con-men who think that they can earn a quick buck from claiming that they own the copyright to Apple’s royalty-free jingles and sound effects included with the iLife applications. These are all free to use, as clearly stated in section 2.C of the iLife Software License Agreement:
    “You may use the Apple and third party audio content (“Audio Content”) contained in or otherwise included with the Apple software, on a royalty-free basis, to create your own original soundtracks for your video and audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your own soundtracks that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual samples, sound sets, or audio content may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound files, sound effects or music beds.”

  • How can I use LDAP searching from OSX Lion Server to Mozilla Thunderbird?

    How can I use LDAP searching from OSX Lion Server to Mozilla Thunderbird?  We have a super awesome contacts server that works great for our Mac users.  About 30% of our company are on PCs, and I would like to use the Mozilla Thunderbird mail client for them.  I see that in Thunderbird I can set up LDAP searching, and would like to have this feature point to our contacts server.  I've tried several different settings, and looked all over the web, but could not find the proper way to configure this.  Does anyone know if this can be done, or if not, would have a better suggestion?  Thank you for your time!!

    try double clicking keychain acces should launch and ask if you want to install login, system, System roots
    A dialog box will launch asking where to install the cert since your configuring a vpn I would put the certificate it in system.

  • Invalid Certificate Microsoft Outlook cannot sign or encrypt this message because you have no certificates which can be used to send from your e-mail address.

    Hi,
    I have a problem when trying to sign emails with an X.509 certificate in Outlook 2010. I constantly get the error message. The certificate is Verified for the email address I'm sending from.
    "Invalid Certificate
    Microsoft Outlook cannot sign or encrypt this message because you have no certificates which can be
    used to send from your e-mail address."I have no problem with signing documents in Word 2010 with the same certificate, only when trying to send email.Every check I can perform confirms that there's nothing wrong with the certificate. Yet, Outlook still says it is invalid.I have even tried installing a second X.509 for the same email address just to check. Outlook doesn't seem to like either certificate.I know this has been posted before, but I'm completely stuck here.Thanks,~Dan

    Hi,
    You may have checked the option "Encrypt contents and attachments for outgoing messages" in Outlook, please uncheck this to test if the problem persists.
    File -> Options -> Trust Center -> Trust Center Settings -> E-mail Security -> Clear the checkbox "Encrypt contents and attachments for outgoing messages" -> OK.

  • I want to install a new hard drive on my 2008 MacBook but do not have the instillation discs that came with my computer.  Can I use instillation discs from a 2009 or 2010 MacBook?

    I want to install a new hard drive on my 2008 MacBook but do not have the instillation discs that came with my computer.  Can I use instillation discs from a 2009 or 2010 MacBook?  The hard drive I am planning to install is a WD Scorpio Black 500GB SATA 2.5'' internal hard drive.

    Sometimes they do work - i've done it before.  I have a late 2008 Macbook Uni and used the install dvd of my 2009 Macbook White and it worked.
    Why not just clone your hard drive?  It'll save you a lot of time doing a clone rather than doing a clean install.
    Unless you're having issues with your old set up or  your old hard drive is dead.
    You can download Carbon Copy Cloner - install your new hard drive in a external usb enclosure (around $10) and clone fromt here then test it before you install it in your Macbook.
    Once you've done the swap, you can install your old hard drive in the USB enclosure and use it as a backup drive.
    Good luck
