2006 MBP: can I use a new adapter with my old t-cable?

My 85w adapter crapped out and I have isolated the issue to the adapter itself and not the cable with the magsafe t-shape. I understand that the new adapters dont work with older macbooks so rather than trying to track down an old adapter can I just buy a new one with the L-shape magsafe and swap in my t-shape magsafe cable?

There have been people report "fit" issues with the L adaptors on older MBPs. Not all, but a lot. Take the MBP with you to an Apple Store or AASP and make them show you that the new adapter not only fits but charges your computer.

    I just bought a new MBP 13' with MagSafe 60W. Can I used my old Charger 85W(My old MBP Mid 2008 85W MagSafe Power Adapter) It does work, but what will happen to the battery? will it ruin the battery life? will it overcharged?

    No it won't do any harm
    (It will just draw what's required and then shut off as normal)

  • Can I used my New MBP13' with a 85W MagSafe?

    Hi there!
    Here in Brazil, Apple don't sell 60W Magsafe. But They recommend to use 85W Magsafe. I'm very worried to accept their recommendation. What do you think about? Can I accept their advice?
    Luís

    I have had two of the 60W Magsafe power supplies fail.  I replaced both with 85W Magsafe power supplies and, so far, have not had any problems; nor do I anticpate having any.  Swapping from 60W to 85W is fine.  If you had said you wanted to move from an 85W Magsafe to a 60W Magsafe, then we'd have to dig deeper before making a recommendation.
    But if all you're doing is replacing the power supply, then taking their advice and moving to a 85W supply is fine.
    If you're concerned, can you take your MBP to the store and try it there?  (This would be more to prove it to yourself, as a 85W power supply will work in the same places as a 60W supply).

  • Can you use the new iMac with FCS.

    This is one of those a friend of a friend of a friend told me this.  His friend, who shoots video that's shown on a local access channel, just bought the latest iMac.  I don't know what this person's set up is or what kind of equipment is, but he claims that he might have to upgrade his cameras because he can't import the footage.  I'm interested in investing in the new iMac but hesitate because I do a lot of amateur video work (weddings, birthday parties, etc.)  Anyone heard anything about this?  By the way, I use a two year old HD Sony video camera and use FCS 7.  All video is stored on an external hard drive.

    The current 27" iMac's with Thunderbolt will run the whole suite of Final Cut Studio apps just fine.  The catch will be your external Scratch Drive.  Until Thunderbolt drives ship in a couple of months, you're stuck with FW800, which barely cuts it for serious HD work.  Thunderbolt will change that.
    One option is to get the configuration that has both an SSD and a 1TB 7200rpm HDD drives in it.  The SSD would be your OS drive, the HDD your Scratch Drive.  That would work fine.
    As for professionals, I teach them, guys from huge cable news networks, who've been using FCP since v.1.  I'm amazed how many of them walk away even after the 1st day of class with whole new workflows.  You never stop learning in any profession.  The day you do, you're out dated.
    The model of Mac you use has nothing to do with your ability to import footage.  The version of FCP you use CAN affect that a great deal, though.
    Specifically what make/model camera do you plan to be using for this work?  BTW, weddings and events are a very profitable niche profession.  I have friends who make good livings for years doing only that.

  • Hi... can i use the new earphone with microphone to make calls in skype without must press a button bellow the left phone?

    I forgot, make call using a PC, not on iPhone.

    As far as I know, PAP2 does not provide an option to disable Inbound calls from both line 1 and 2 although you can set it up to block calls and enable DnD.
    You will have have to switch your RJ11 cord back and forth from the wall and PAP2 in order to do outbound calls and receive inbound calls.

  • How do I use a new computer with same old iPod?

    Before I knew about the problem of switching computers I purchased some new songs from iTunes on my new computer, but using my old login. It allowed me to purchase and upload the songs to my new computer, but it won't let me put them onto the iPod.(?!#@) In retrospect, I suppose I should've created a new iTunes user account for the new computer, but since I didn't, does anyone know how I can get these songs onto my iPod? Or am I just out the 25 bucks?
    Going forward, should I create a new user account for my new computer? If so, how do I do that? I just want to be able to purchase and upload songs and transfer them to the iPod. There must be a way. Thanks for any tips/advice.

    I figured it out. I just needed to "authorize" my new computer.

  • Can you use Apple TV together with an add-on cable-type box?

    We're thinking of buying Apple TV for our 75 yr. old parents for Christmas, but my father inlaw currently pays extra to view live soccer using some add-on cable-type box (sorry, no idea what to call the box).  We do not live in the same city as them, so checking out their current set-up before Christmas isn't possible.
    Will the two boxes conflict and could we run into issues with too few ports when we try to set it up?
    I'm assuming there will only be one hdmi port on the television (but then, I don't own a TV. I could easily be wrong). Will both the Apple and the cable boxes each require their own hdmi cables going into the television?
    Maybe the Apple TV will negate the need for the other box altogether. e.g., What if we bought them a major soccer league subscription for watching live soccer?
    Thanks so much for any advice!  If it weren't for the soccer issue, we would buy the Apple TV right away.
    Sandra

    Thanks so much, WC!  Glad to know they likely have more than one HDMI port (they just purchased the TV this past summer). 
    Maybe the add-on box to which I referred would be some form of router.  Its purpose is so they can watch RAI here in Canada.  His soccer games are on RAI (for which he needs the router-ish-thingy) and also Telelatino (which he can get through his cable TV provider).  If he could no longer watch RAI, then he would simply not use the Apple TV gift, making it a dumb purchase on our parts.
    So, I just need some reassurance that he will still be able to attach this router box to his TV and also attach the Apple TV, or confirmation that he will no longer need that box if he has Apple TV.  I just don't know enough about that box to ask the right questions. 
    Again, thanks so much.  I'm not sure where else to turn to find out.

  • How can I use JPEG-2000 images with my old Elements 2.0?

    Is there a plug-in or other step that will allow me to work with JPEG-2000 images using my Elements 2.0 software?

    I do apologize, as i should have asked what operating system you were using.
    Anyway, It looks like that plugin is to new for pse 2 on the mac side.
    I believe it only works in pse 6 and newer, though they used to have older versions, there doesn't seem to be any links to them.
    You should remove that plugin and for future reference, plugins/filters should go in the Plug-Ins folder, not in the photoshop elements 2.0 application package.
    Are you able to open the jpeg 2000 files in the Preview application?

  • Can i charge my new nano with old adapter

    can i charge the new nano with a old ipod nano power adapter?

    thank you, is it possible to use any usb outlet charger for the nano not just made by apple, from what i heard some works but some people's ipod got fried idk
    It's hard to tell for certain, but if you are going to use a third party USB AC Charger, I would check for different reviews online for whether or not they are compatible with your iPod. Just double check for input and output voltages it works with and compare it to those that your iPod Nano can handle.

  • Can I use Java Creator 2 with old JRE/JDK 1.4.2_07??

    I am planning to install new Java Creator 2 but I am having JRE and JDK 1.4.2_07 and I am using mysql 3.23.55 and I want to integrate it.
    Currently my OS is Windows XP SP2 platform with processor Intel Centrino 1.4 and RAM 256 MB... I know the ram is not sufficient and i am planning to upgrade it.. but the problem is can i still remain to use the old JRE and JDK 1.4.2_07 and i am also using mysql 3.23.55... all the driver and engine are out to date but can i still use it and integrate it with java creator 2?
    The questions are:
    1) Can I use Java creator 2 with those old engine?
    2) What java compiler or development tools i can use to develop java standalone application?
    Thank you

    When the jar file is expanded within Eclipse, it shows that the mail.jar file is built with 1.5.0; I think? Here is the header contents of the MANIFEST.MF file, note "Created by."
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Implementation-Version: 1.4
    Specification-Title: JavaMail(TM) API Design Specification
    Specification-Version: 1.3
    Implementation-Title: javax.mail

    Specification-Vendor: Sun Microsystems, Inc.
    SCCS-ID: @(#)javamail.mf     1.6 05/12/09
    This is causing problems, because anytime I try to use this file, I get signing errors. I have several Web Services built by BAE and Plumtree that are running on 1.4.2; and therefore I am stuck with 1.4.2. I did try to remove the SUN_MICR.* files, thinkning it would resolve the signing issues, but then that caused other problems. I can provide you with code that demonstrates the problem.
    Is there a place where I can get a mail 1.4 jar file built with 1.4.2? that would most likely solve my problems.

  • Can I use the new Apple Thunderbolt  to Firewire adapter to download video from a video camera by firewire to my Macbook Air ?

    Can I use the new Apple Thunderbolt  to Firewire adapter to download video from a video camera by firewire to my Macbook Air ?

    Yes, you can use the 85 watt adaptor. You cannot use the new adaptors because your computer is not equipped with the proper MagSafe connector. But you can use the older MBP adaptors as well as a 60 watt replacement adaptor. All can be found at Apple's Online Store.

  • Using Alu Power Adapter with The new MBP Unibody 2009 ? (Both 85 Watts)

    Hi,
    Can i use the Power Adapter off my Aluminium MBP 2.5 GHz,15" intel core 2 Duo (MacBookPro4,1), with the new Unibody 15" 2.66 GHz(MacBookPro5,1)?
    They are both 85 Watts.
    The Power adapter for Aluminium is :
    Input : 100-240V - 1,5A 50-60Hz
    Output : 16,5-18,5V, 4,6 A Max
    Delta Eletronic
    The Power Adapter for Unibody is :
    Input : 100-240V - 1,5A 50-60Hz
    Output : 18,5V 4,6A, 16,5V, 3,6A
    LiteOn Technology
    Thanks for The Lights.

    That's correct, I meant to type 85W.
    Can anyone advise what the impact will be of using older 85W adapters with the new MBP's that come with a 60W adapter?
    Is there a shorter battery life in the long-term, or is the new battery designed to cope the same with either of these power adapters?
