What power adapters work with the 2008 (previous model) macbook pros?

The battery is 60w. I've had to replace 3 powercords because of internal failure or melting in the past year and was wondering what wattage would be appropriate for the cords since I have to now buy a new one.
Also, is there any type of wrapping I could encase the cord in? I tried using electrical tape to seal up a whole in one of my cords and it promply ate through the casing, leaving it in tatters. The cable still works but it's certainly unsafe to leave unwrapped at this point.

You should find that this adapter best fits your model of adapter:

There is a way of wrapping your cable so there's no chance of it failing again.
When you start wrapping the cable, take the large adapter in your right hand, and leave about two inches of slack. That way, when you start wrapping the cable around the adapter, the cable is flexible and there's no stress. Next, the thinner magnetic part of the cable should be wrapped loosely.
I only request that respond to this thread, on whether or not this answers your question!

  • Do both of Apple Store's iPod power adaptors work with the new Touch 2G?

    Hi,
    Many thanks in advance for your attention.
    Looking to to get an Apple USB power adaptor for the iPod Touch 2G.
    In the Apple Store, two are listed, one smaller (and newer) than the other. In the newer one, the prongs are not retractable; in the larger (older) one, they are.
    1. Does anyone know if the larger (and older) power adaptor works with the iPod Touch 2G USB-only interface?
    2. I know that many power adaptors and speakers and car adaptor sets, etc. in the past had a combo Firewire/ USB power interface. That is why the new iPod Touch 2G (or iPhone 3G) does not charge up or power up with these speakers and chargers, etc. (Speakers such as the original Bose Sound Dock).
    3. Is it true that the older (larger) power adaptor works better in all kinds of power situations (different outlets, etc. in different countries); that the older (larger) power adaptor is more travel-versatile? The Apple store perhaps notes a difference, noting that the newer power adaptor works only with USA-style outlets. I see no such note with the older adaptor.
    4. Finally, does anyone know of a USB-only interface that would work with the iPod Touch 2G that is not Apple's (and perhaps not as insanely priced)?

    Many thanks for further clarifying.
    I don't know 100% for sure that the Apple USB cable for the iPod Touch is different than the Apple USB cable for the iPod Touch 2G.
    But:
    I have read (somewhere) that the tiny pin connectors are different. That is why an iPod Touch 1G could be charged by (for example) a Logitech mm50 Speaker set and an iPod Touch 2G cannot.
    An iPod Touch 2G can still connect to the Logitech mm50 Speaker set. It will still play and you will hear music. But it is no longer charging. And I have read of iPod Touch 2Gs getting very hot in these cradles. That can't be good for the poor iPod in the long run.
    So for the Apple USB power adaptors to work, (which both came out before the iPod Touch 2G), they must have some override or blocked pin if they can work with both generations of iPod Touches.

  • What larger monitors work with the 15" vga G4 iMac

    What larger monitors work with the 15" vga G4 iMac?

    It is not so much how large but rather a question of resolution and how it would look on a larger monitor than the original.
    All iMac G4 15-inchers supported: 640x480; 800x600; and 1024x768 at a fixed 4:3 ratio--no provision for widescreen. The old rule of thumb for decent clarity for 4:3 ratio CRT monitors was:
    15-inch monitor supports 640x480
    17-inch supports 800-x600
    19 to 20 inch supports 1024x768
    I believe you would find the same issues with an older 4:3 flat-panel monitor.
    Also the iMacs can only mirror the resolution set on the built-in monitor so you can't have the external one set differently nor use it for extended desktop. If you set the built-in to 640x480 (would look nice at 15 inches) you are going to get 640x480 on the external regardless of how big it is. On a 19-20 incher, 640x480 could start to look pixelated.

    Hello jo90733,
    I would recommend reinstalling Mountain Lion to replace the missing/damaged components of these applications. While the process shouldn't affect any data (images, music, etc) you have on the system, it's always a good idea to have a backup in place prior to reinstalling.
    OS X Mountain Lion: Back up your Mac
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11371
    OS X Mountain Lion: Reinstall OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10763
    Important: You need to be connected to the Internet to reinstall OS X.
    Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
    If you’re not connected to the Internet, choose a network from the Wi-Fi menu (in the top-right corner of the screen).
    Select Reinstall OS X, and then click Continue.
    Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select a disk, select your current OS X disk (in most cases, it is the only one available).
    To start the installation, click Install.
    Cheers,
    Allen

  • How to fix a non-working keyboard backlight (2008 Non-Unibody MacBook Pro)

    I was having trouble with my 2008 Non-Unibody MacBook Pro's backlit keyboard. In spite of seeing the backlight bar go up and down, it would not light up.
    I have solved the problem by replugging the power ribbon that connects to the backlight.
    Here is a YouTube video I made that explains the procedure:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuOsBJe8NbU
    Hope it helps anybody!
    Take care!

    Same Problem here.
    I have installed bootcamp. i played Crysis for over 5 hours. After that i went on OS X. For 2 hours just surfing the net.I opened handbrake and the macbook RUNS at 89 degrees Celsius. and the fans i could not hear them. maybe they are on 2000rpm. Thank god i realise it soon, and stop handbrake encoding.
    After that i came here and read that others have the same problem. so i reset the SMC. after resseting SMC . the 1 time i opened handbrake the fans start rolling at 67 Celsius .I stopped the encoding and start it again after 5 minutes. AGAIN the macbook reach 89 degrees without the fans rolling from over 2000rpm.
    Please apple fix it. We don't want our MBPs to be burned Please realise this problem and give us a fix.

  • HT3798 my iPod was originally connect to an old HP. The HP has since died and now I own a Macbook pro. I want to transfer the music from my iPod (originally synced with the HP) to my Macbook Pro. Is this possible without losing the music on my iPod?

    my iPod was originally connect to an old HP. The HP has since died and now I own a Macbook pro. I want to transfer the music from my iPod (originally synced with the HP) to my Macbook Pro. Is this possible without losing the music on my iPod?

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

    Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
    are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
    I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
    Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

    I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
    both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
    Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
    I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
    update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
    And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
    I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
    Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !

  • What power line adapters work with the Simpler Net...

    I currently use the provided Simpler Networks power line adapters, one plugged into my HH3 and the other for my BT Vision box. I want to also connect my desktop PC to the HH suing a power line adapter. Which ones will work with the ones I already have? 
    As a side note, do I need to buy another pair, or will all three talk to each other, and know to use the one connected to the HH as the way to the internet?
    Thanks in advance

    If a powerline adapter is plugged into HH ports 1,2,3 you can get no more than 100 Mbps they are only Fast Ethernet ports and cannot go any faster.
    You would be better with Gigabit switches, Cat5e ethernet cables and a theoretical maximum of 1000 Mbps which you only DONT get when there is an ethernet packet collision, and only connecting via HH3 or HH4 port 4 the GigE port
    If you put a fast ethernet switch in the wrong place you will only get 100 Mbps across it.

    Yes. You'll need to use the included DVI to VGA adapter to connect the monitor.

  • What docking station works with the ipod touch 4th generation?

    What docking station is works with the ipod touch 4th generation?  We have a Bose docking station which I'm having trouble getting it to fit onto.

    Gal:
    I'm not exactly clear what your question is.
    How does the system you have been given not work with your iPod? What is the problem?
    What is your point about the 4th generation adaptor? The "adaptor" is merely a physical piece of plastic that sits in the Docking Station's dock and creates the exact shape for your model of iPod to fit snugly into it. So a 1st or 2nd generation iPod would not benefit in any way from a 4th gen adaptor.
    Are you trying to find a portable iPod Docking Station that works without mains power?
    You said: " the customer service agent said it would make the iPod fit, but it wouldn't charge or play music." What is your point about charging the iPod? I don't understand what you are trying to say. I presume that the system you've been given does charge a 1st and 2nd gen iPod.
    The product you linked to looks portable to me. So why does it not suit your needs, is this about using it out in the garden (my question 2)?
    Less complicated in what way? What exactly are you finding complicated? Simply place the iPod into the Docking Station and (presumably) select the iPod input and press play.

  • What Monitors WILL work with the Mac-Mini?

    If the new Mac-Mini does not put out analog video and Apple does not state this, what monitors will work with it?

    I was able to get an Apple Studio Display to work via the adapter in the Mac Mini box combined with that huge DVI to ADC adapter they had sold me years ago. In the Apple Store I really had to press them to assure me my display would work as they told me they'd charge me a re-stock fee if I had to bring the Mini back. I pressed the point that Apple should know if a monitor it made works with a computer it made. The rep asked around and we both searched the web and then she was able to confirm it would work. They really need a list of acceptable monitors. If anyone locates such a list, please let us all know!

  • What docking stations work with the ipod mini gen 2?

    Looking to get a docking station for my ipod mini gen 2.  Are there any out there that are known to work?

    Well, I don't have any specific recommendations, since I've never used them myself.  There are so many choices, just make sure the specs say it works with your older iPod model.
    If you get a "plain" dock (like that Universal Dock), or an older version (no remote control) for cheap on eBay, it's not just for connecting to computers.  It has a audio output jack (that gets a high quality line out signal from the iPod's dock connector).  You can connect that to your stereo system's auxilliary input, or to any powered speakers (the type people connect to computers).  For power, connect the docking cable to a USB power adapter instead of a computer's USB port.
    And you can connect it to your computer too.  Plus, if the speakers go bad (or you want better ones), you don't have to throw the whole gadget away.  Just get new speakers, keep the dock.

  • What apps will work with the Apple Component Video cables ?????

    I plan to order the Apple Component Video cables so I can watch the Netflix apps movies on my TV.
    I know this app works with the cables but what else does?
    The few apps I know of are:
    Netflix
    YouTube
    included video app
    but what else ?

    Thanks. I did order it and it arrived yesterday. I have not done a lot but watched a couple things
    with the Netflix app and I am very pleased.
    The cable is only about 6 feet so I had to extend it but other than that I am pleased. Luckily, I already
    had a 10' cable in the basement with connectors so now I can have my iPad where it usually is and
    control things more easily.
    A few more apps that work with it would be nice though. :>
