Black MacBook Cable Color?

Hello everyone,
Just about to buy a MacBook and need help to decide on the color. When they were first released I recall seeing posts by some people disappointed to discover that the power adapter and cable for the Black MacBook was white and looked odd.
Is that still the case now?
Is there anything else I should consider between the two colors?
Thanks
Ian

all cables shipped with the black macbook, black ipods, and colored ipods are white. always have been, always will be.

Black MacBook with white cables?

Sorry if this has been answered before, but I am really curious if apple has an explanation as to why they shipped the Black MacBooks with white cables and a white remote.
I find this annoying.

you serious man? you're quote their 80s models as an
rebuttal? sorry, the recent motiff for apples has
been white (their laptops/ipods/imacs)
I can't help it if "always" to you only means the last seven or so years. My last powerbook was grey.
if you think the choice to include a white powercord
was a deliberate aesthetic choice (and not a matter
Snip
I was just asking. If I had an idea why then I wouldn't have posted the question.
basically to me this is such an asenine aspect to
worry about that its ability to "annoy you" just
perplexes me
Uh, I'm really unconcerned with what perplexes you. I am perplexed as to why they would ship a black computer with a different color accessories. If price actually IS the reason for this and not just a guess on your part then answer the question. If you don't know then don't answer it.
Now you are beginning to annoy me.

Black MacBook - Color

I am again, intensively considering buying a Mac. There is no shop in my area, so I can not see it before buying. A stupid question is: What is the color of the power adapter and all cables shipped together with black MacBook.
Windows XP Pro

Thanks Everybody. As you can see I am new in here and I've never owned a Mac before but wanted to buy it already for a long time. There was always sth against it (model, price, keyboard language etc.) Finally the time has come. It also looks like (if I got it right) that BLACK MacBook 2Ghz is effectively 150USD more expensive then WHITE 2Ghz - considering +50USD for the 80GB HD upgrade. Thanks again.

Is it possible to connect my 2008 black macbook, to my new 2014 macbook pro retina display screen to make a dual monitor. If this is possible what cables would I need to buy?

You can try using Screen Sharing in the Sharing preferences. Or try a third-party utility such as ScreenRecycler.

Does apple make a black charging cable for a MacBook air?

Hi All,
I'm looking for a black charging cable for my new MacBook Air. I realize that this sounds like a ridiculous request, but my cat has an affinity for white cords. Anyone know where I can find one?

Bloody Cats,
I have a similar problem unfortunately they don't, the Patent protection on Apple's Mag Safe tech is mostly likely why you can buy a non Apple one.

Sept '06 black macbook w/ os x lion, enters desktop and the color wheel starts spinning and never goes away...no function.

I have OS X Lion on a black macbook (bought 9/06). OS X has been on it for over two weeks, no further changes have been made. Updates were all current as of two days ago and thankfully it is backed up. This macbook is being used for anesthesia school and I HAVE to get it up and running again quickly. Typically I would insert the OS startup disk and hold 'C', but in this case Lion is from the App store. What do I do now? Need help quickly if anyone can. Thanks a million!

Hi Lex, thanks for the response. It actually is a 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo processor. SInce my post, it "spontaneously" resolved, however it is incredibly slow anytime I use any program from Microsoft Office '11 or iWork '11. I have the maximum 4GB of RAM and I have 35GB of free space on the hard drive so it didn't seem to me that it should be so slow. I believe I am going to run the disk utility to attempt to fix anything that may be found wrong and if that doesn't work, I will just wipe the driver and start over from scratch. Thanks for the post!

Quick review of my wife's new Black MacBook

OK - so SWMBO chose Black last night at the Apple Store. Store upgraded the stock 512MB (2x 256MB sticks) with 2x 512MB sticks and ran memory test to ensure all was AOK - it was.
This MacBook replaced her 14" iBook G3 700MHz with 30gig HD, DVD-ROM/CD-RW and 640MB memory running Mac OS X 10.4.6 with all latest Apple updates.
First impressions during use and transferring wife's files from her old iBook.
1. Startup was flawless and connected FW400 cable between MacBook and iBook and restarted iBook in Target mode and selected to have all of wife's home files transferred along with other network settings etc. Transfer completed without problems.
2. As soon as startup completed I Restarted (re-booted) and selected Software update. Geeeesh - there was a lot of stuff that Apple hadn't installed on this stock machine. Downloaded and installed all this stuff without problems.
3. Now I ran Monolingual to remove all languages except English. This freed up some 3.2 GB of HD space. This took around 30 mins and placed a great deal of stress on the CPUs and HD. CPU activity was well above 80% (using Top.app) and Monolingual chewed up lots of physical RAM and started eventually to cause pageouts on the 1gig of physical RAM. The top left quadrant of the MacBook got very hot. The lower surface of the quadrant was extremely hot and would be bothersome had it been on my lap. The cooling fan could be heard during most of the time Monolingual was running. I believe the Monolingual also removed a large number of language files - as many as 287,000 as before running it I recall seeing 437,000 files and now only have 154,000 files (can't be absolutely sure about these numbers as I did not log them at the time). However, if this is true then not only do you get some 3.2 gig of HD space back a huge reduction in file count which helps with SpotLight indexing and anything else that has to scan the file system structure.
4. Ran SuperDuper to backup the HD to and external FW400 LaCie 60gig pocket HD. Took about 30 mins. The first run at this caused SuperDuper to complain it could correct the internal HD's permissions. So I quit SuperDuper and launched Disk Utility and ran Repair permissions. This completed with errors and then launched SuperDuper a second time and it did not have problems with the HD permissions. I observed that SuperDuper (not a universal binary) ran far quicker on the MacBook than it did on the iBook - I would say around 2x faster. After SuperDuper cloned the MacBook's HD I then verified I could boot up from the external FW400 LaCie drive. This worked flawlessly.
5. QT Pro didn't come across from wife's iBook so had to reset the QuickTime Pro registration key.
6. The MacBook screen real estate is less than the 14" iBook. It really is the height of the MacBook's screen that causes this. The MacBook's screen is same width as the iBook but is about 1.5" less in height. Overall the MacBook feels, looks and is smaller than the 14" iBook. The MacBook's screen display is clearer and brighter than the iBook's. The MacBook's screen display is very vibrant and more colorful than the iBook for sure.
7. Opening the MacBook screen/lid takes a bit of getting used to compared to the method needed for the iBook.
8. Keys are flush with the MacBook's outer surface which means they do not contact the screen when screen closed. The iBook's keys aren't and stick up some and can over time mark the screen with finger tip grease etc.
9. MacBook's trackpad is larger than the iBook's and very welcomed - as is the two-finger scrolling feature.
10. Adding a pic for accounts was fun as the iSight feature is by default used to capture a mug shot of yourself if you so desire.
11. Performance of MacBook compared to iBook 14" 700MHz is not very noticeable IMO when doing Safari and Mail type activities. Things do happen with more snappyness though. Yes - SuperDuper ran 2x faster but normal use of MacBook so far doesn't tell me it's 2x2000MHz/700MHz or some 5.7x faster wrt CPU clock rates. I'm sure the MacBook is faster at doing CPU intensive things but have not done any scientific performance testing to post results. I get the feeling that this MacBook is maybe 2x to 3x faster and more snappier than the iBook. The Disk Inventory X utility screams on this MacBook.
12. MacBook is lighter, thinner and more easily handled than the 14" iBook. It will also fit into the iBook 14" Bootq bag I bought for wife last Christmas.
13. My wife likes the MacBook very much after a morning of use. She maintains the Black MacBook is cool looking and more professional looking than the White and pleased she chose the Black.
14. We are both very pleased with the Black MacBook purchase at this time.
The 14" iBook is now to be handed down to daughter #1 as a birthday+Xmas present.

Update to my item 4 as there were some typo errors in it (sorry about that).
4. Ran SuperDuper to backup the HD to and external FW400 LaCie 60gig pocket HD. Took about 30 mins. The first run at this caused SuperDuper to complain it could not correct the internal HD's permissions. So I quit SuperDuper and launched Disk Utility and ran Repair permissions. This completed without errors and then launched SuperDuper a second time and it did not have problems with the HD permissions.

Black Macbook out to Sony Bravia Question

So I just bought a new Sony Bravia 22" LCD TV. I'm excited to use the TV as a monitor for my computer, or at least so that I can play back Hulu or other such videos on the TV. The TV supports VGA in as a "PC" input as well as 2 HDMI ports. I know I need to get an adapter for the mini DVI port on my Macbook, however I'm not sure whether to go the route of mini DVI to VGA or mini DVI to DVI with a DVI-HDMI cable to the computer. I know in both cases I will need a separate audio cable so that's not the issue. The TV says that it has a native 720p resolution. I think the highest VGA resolution supported by the TV is 1360x768, but the HDMI is higher I think. Thanks for your help

I also have a black macbook and I recently purchased a 42" Sony Bravia TV and I have a few questions...
So I think I need 3 things:
- the mini DVI to VGA cable
- the VGA to VGA cable (that will connect to my TV right? how long of a cable is useful?)
- another cable for the audio...
What do I need to get for the audio portion? Someone told me to get a 3.5mm AV RCA Cable with the red/white that connect to the ports on my TV and then the headphone jack on my laptop.
Advice? Thanks!

What kind of firewire do I need for a Black MacBook?

I am trying to hook my Canon 3CCd Digital Video Camcorder to my Black MacBook, and I want to make sure that I get the correct Firewire cable. What is the name and kind of cable that I need?

Your MacBook uses 'FireWire 400'.....what the camera needs I do not know....

Vga to black macbook?

Hello,
I'm trying to find the right cable to connect my black macbook to a vga monitor - does anyone know what I need..? a mini display port..?

Hi,
If your MacBook has a MiniDisplay port,
(http://macmaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/mini_displayport_apple.jpg)
you can connect to monitor with this:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/A
And then connect it to monitor with a vga cable.
If it has a DVI port,
(http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.tekserve.com/images/rentals/dvi.j pg&imgrefurl=http://www.tekserve.com/rentals/equipment/displays.php&usg=__p4P3ZO cmmujEvAG0hlIXVPuYeiA=&h=186&w=432&sz=18&hl=fi&start=0&sig2=LRE35vDPJFV6umfxG_lR nA&zoom=1&tbnid=qjR-Q2olXRbiRM:&tbnh=83&tbnw=193&ei=s3b7TeedB9DKtAaSlKnwDw&prev= /search%3Fq%3DDVi%2Bport%26hl%3Dfi%26client%3Dsafari%26sa%3DX%26rls%3Den%26biw%3 D1680%26bih%3D930%26tbm%3Disch%26prmd%3Divns&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=504&vpy=113&dur= 733&hovh=147&hovw=342&tx=156&ty=121&page=1&ndsp=38&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0&biw=1680&b ih=930)
then use this:

And again, connect with vga cable.
Hope this was useful.

Black MacBook - suggestion for Apple.

Apple takes style quite seriously, right? Then why does my black MacBook come with a white power cord?
Suggestion: pack the black MacBook with a black power cord.
-Ron.

I rather enjoy a little bit of contrast. I like black. I drive it around 24x7 (a black motorized wheelchair, that is). I personally think it's better for me to have a black chair because it allows me to stand out.
But I don't want another black computer (or a white one, for that matter). Am I racist? No, it's just getting BORING. Black laptops, white desktops...or really badly-designed cases, period. I'm looking more at the silver MacBook Pro, but let me tell you, color wasn't a consideration.
I want power and performance, really. The MacBook looks good, but the shared graphics just kill the whole deal for me. The 5+ percent tax on memory is too much to pay for this performance-minded user.
As to color, I'd much rather see the ability of customers to pick the color they want, vis a vis iPod mini, or the original i-computers.
Those who choose Apple want to stand on a kind of holy ground. Some just want to set themselves apart from others. But with all computers looking the same on the inside now, what's left?

Black or multi-colored strip an right hand side of copies

My C7280 was not used for two weeks. When I returned home, the printer prints a black or multi-colored line about 1/2 inch wide down the right hand side of the copy. I ran the print dead cleaners three times. Any ideas what is wrokng?

Hi peggymay.
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
Sorry to hear that you are having issues with black lines on your scans or copies. I have had this issue myself on my very own 8600 and I was able to get it resolved. The issue actually stemmed from two locations and with any luck we can get this issue resolved for you. First thing to look at is under the scanner lid. Lift the scanner lid and to the left of the large scanner glass, you will see a small strip of glass. Please take a light glass cleaner and a lint free cloth and clean the small glass area as well as the big glass . On the under side of the lid, you will see a white plastic strip. Please clean this as well. IF you have already done these steps then please move on to the next step.
The printer power cable needs to be connected to a wall outlet and NOT a power Bar/Strip. HP printers already have a built in surge protector and if you have it plugged into a Bar/Strip, the printer will NOT get all the power needed to function properly and it will cause issues with scans or copies and it could even generate false error messages on the printer display screen.
Please try these steps and if they work, Fantastic. But if they don't, please feel free to write me back.
Thank you so much for your time. Always happy to help.
