I get my magsafe 2 60w is it safe to charge macbook pro retina  15 pouces

It's not a good idea to use a lower wattage power supply than what the machine shipped with. The 15" comes with an 85 watt adapter and that's what you should be using. You can go in the other direction with no problem, like using an 85 watt on a machine that came with a 60. If I were you, I go get the correct charger.

  • Is it safe for my MacBook pro retina plugged in while it's off?

    Hello Everyone, so I have read that putting your MacBook pro in sleep while plugged in all the time is safe as long as you run the battery once in awhile, but what about if I want to shut down my MacBook pro Retina off without unplugging the charger and just leave it on for the rest of the night and then just turn my macbook pro back on still without unplugging the charger? Is it safe, no KABOOM!!? Lol ok I'm going to sleep now and I will turn off my Mac and unplug it for now until further instruction. Thanks in advance and good night!

    you can leave it plugged in - when fully charged - charging stops to avoid overcharing your battery.
    do not fully discharge your battery to 0% constantly, doing so will shorten your battery life.
    good luck

  • Macbook pro retina 13 mag safe

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Pro retina 13 (early 2013). I accidentally broke my Mag Safe 2 (60W) adapter. So went out and bought a new one but unfortunately the 60W was sold out everywhere, so went online to see if I could use a Mag Safe 2 (85W) and every single forum said it was OK to use that one, since the computer knows how much juice to pull. Well, I don't think that's correct. My battery was working just fine, and ever since I started charging it with my new 85W charger, the battery lasts less than half the time. Is anybody else having the same problem? If so, do you think I need to replace my battery and charger? 

    Power Adapter/ cord wattage
    “Power adapters for Intel-based Apple notebooks are available in 45W, 60W, and 85W varieties. Although you should always use the proper wattage adapter for your Apple notebook, you can use an adapter of a higher wattage without issue.”

    Did you buy a non-Apple brand MagSafe power adapter? Return it if you can.
    Order one from Apple store.
    Best.

  • Old MagSafe Airline Adapter not working with MacBook Pro Retina

    I've got an old MagSafe Airline Adapter (one I bought when it first came out) that I'm trying to use with my MacBook Pro Retina (using a MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter). Sometimes the light is green, sometimes it is off, sometimes the battery icon in the menu bar shows plugged in, sometimes not, but in any combination, the machine is not maintaining charge; the battery discharges at a normal rate for just being on battery. For giggles, I borrowed my seatmate's year-or-two-old MagSafe adapter (the one with the right-angle plug) and plugged it into my machine (also using the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 converter). The light on that one turns orange, and though the battery icon shows "Not Charging", the battery is maintaining charge with the newer adapter. (My adapter, BTW, is able to maintain the charge on her 13" MacBook Pro.)
    Was there a change to recent versions of this adapter to make the new ones work with the Retina MacBooks where the old one will not?

    the green light on the mag safe turns on?
    you should reduce your usage to a very minimal amount as I'm sure the airline doesn't output a strong enough signal for you to be running full screen films with high res. Maybe you should close your macbook P and see if it is charged after a little while of not using it.
    turn your screen lights down, turn the sound gHZ down, quit all the downloadin'.
    if you must run flash make sure you have the latest version (from the adobe site).
    You're computer is intense and if you use it more then it's gaining, of course it going to be draining .
    But this is probably moot since you're probably on said plane now. or was.
    I'd imagine if you're not satisfied with the product you should return it detailing your situation.

  • MacBook Pro Retina Problems with Headphone jack, Speakers, USB Port, MagSafe 2 and the hard drive

    I took my MacBook Pro Retina 2.6GHz i7 to the genius bar to have the headphone jack looked at. I was told they could easily fix it but had to order the part. That day I took it home and returned to the store once I was notified that the part arrived so I could drop it off for repair. 3 days after I dropped my computer off with the genius bar I missed a phone call and returned to my iphone with a new voicemail. It said something like this, "Hello Tim, I just wanted to let you know that we replaced the headphone jack but it turned out not to be the problem and the problem was actually with the logic board. Don't worry though, we went ahead and replaced that for you, however, after that was done, the speakers stopped working but the headphone jack is fixed. We have to order new speakers to put in your computer b/c we don't have those on hand either."
    Long story short, they fixed the speakers but, "had to order another part to repair the USB port." So I am waiting for that to be repaired but the dang AC Power to the actual computer does not work now!!! It's not the magsafe 2 charger that I have or the outlets I tried it in b/c I tried multiple chargers and multiple outlets. I am very frustrated! I have been without my computer for almost 2 weeks and still have to take it in at least twice more to get the power working this weekend and then again next week to (hopefully) get the USB port working.
    At what point should I ask for a new computer or a refund? I have been using Apple Computers my whole life, I have had 8 different mac laptop models and have not had a problem until this computer. I am very frustrated with the support I have received from Apple as a whole.

    Contact Apple Customer Relations and let them know that you're not happy. With the logic board replacement, everything else should have been evaluated and fixed at the same time. It sounds as if you just got a lemon. You could plead your case for a replacement unit, I would think, since your machine is being 'replaced' piecemeal...
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • HT3986 I got a macbook pro Retina and I installed a windows 7. The problem is I can't find drivers for the Macbook pro retina hardware which work for windows 7

    I got a macbook pro retina and I installed windows 7. How can I get the windows 7 drivers for the Macbook Pro Retina?

    Read the Boot Camp Instructions, you have to download the drivers using Boot Camp Assistant
    If you missed that I suggest that you read the instructions again.

    I need help identifying which Magsafe Power Adapter I need for my Macbook Pro Model A1398, EMC 2673?

    Provided the computer-end fits, you are free to use one with a HIGHER Wattage rating. No damage whatsoever will be done to any component, but it will likely run cooler (but may be slightly heavier).
    If you use one with too LOW a Wattage rating, you will not be able to charge and run at the same time, and your computer's top speed (for its most intensive computations) will be limited.

  • MacBook Pro retina 2013 do not start and no light on the magsafe

    Hello
    I have a MacBook Pro Retina 2013 13' core i5 2.5 8gb ram
    My mac was open, connect to the sector with full power. I left it the time to lunch and when i came back maybe 2 hours after my mac was off, and no light on the magsafe.
    Impossible to start it.
    I tried the key sequence, nothing worked.
    I used the magsafe of a friend who have the same model, i had i green light for 10s before it turn slowly off. and nothing worked too.
    One of my neighbor on the same building, had the same problem at the same time, computer open (not a mac) and it turn off impossible to start it, he had to disconnect/reconnect the battery to solve the problem.
    May it be a power surge?
    Did i need to open it and disconnect the battery on the motherboard?
    Thank you for your help.

    A Few things to try if you haven't already:
    1. Try unplugging the charger from both the wall and from your MacBook Pro. Now, make sure the powerpoint the MacBook was connected to works by plugging it in any electrical appliance you have. After unplugging the test electrical appliance and verifying that everything is OK with the electrical source, wait a minute or two and just plug the charger back into your MacBook and the powerpoint.
    2. A possible problem could be a MagSafe port not working correctly. Look for any kind of debris inside the port that might prevent it from connecting the power adapter correctly to your MacBook. On the adapter, take a quick look at the DC connector for any type of debris and carefully check if any of the pins are missing, are bent, or stuck down.
    3. Try a quick restart. Just press CMD CTRL ALT EJECT For about 5 seconds.
    4. Try CMD, CTRL and POWER for about 5 seconds.
    5. If none of this works, my last suggestion is removing the battery connecters and power supplies ect and holding the power button for a few seconds and reconnecting everything.

  • My macbook pro Retina has got a burn-in issue.

    My macbook pro Retina has got a burn-in issue. The device is out of warranty. I reset PRAM but it didn't help.

    As per with any computer, a very basic rule of thumb... The more ram. The higher processor speed... The faster and more efficient your machine will be.  And since processor upgrades are relatively difficult to do if you're not familiar with the hardware... Then I'd go with a ram upgrade (ie getting more assuming you're not already maxed out)
    But shy of any of that, just clean up.  Any photo albums, videos, documents you dont need or use anymore.. back them up ten delete them.  The same thing with extra apps or programs.  Think of it his way, the heavier your backpack gets, the slower you're going to walk.  Lighten the backpack, the easier and faster you can walk.  So start by cleaning house.  (personally I'm a big fn of or matting and re-installing everything every now and again.  It may be overkill, but it's one of the best ways to clean.
    Start with the free and easy.  If you don't get results that you like then go on to some options that have a price tag

    Yes, just be sure you download it directly from the developer website: http://unity3d.com/webplayer. A fair number of file download sites bundle adware or other unwanted content with legitimate applications/plugins.

    Take it back in and gently but firmly try to persuade a senior supervisor to authorize a replacement. Had it been stuck on black, would have been easier on the persuasion, but you may get lucky.
