Can I use a power cord from a 2007 iBook?

I have extra power cords from my old iBook - I would keep one at home and one at work. It appears to fit the new 13" MacBook Pro. They are both made by CE and appear identical except for the 90º magnetic connector on the new model.They are both labeled: Input AC100-240v-50-60Hz 15A; Output 16.5v 3.65A ADP-60AD B
I don't want to blow anything up...

Actually I misspoke: the old laptop is an early generation white polycarbonate MacBook with the first Intel core duo. It does have a Magsafe, and I am asking if I can plug the entire cable from the old MacBook from the wall into the new MacBook Pro.
Thanks for your help!

Can I use a power cord from a Macbook air with a Macbook?

Can I use a power cord from a Macbook air with a Macbook?

No, the MacBook Air power adapter is a 45 watt. A MacBook needs at least a 60 watt power adapter although you can use a MacBook Pro 85 watt adapter. You can use a higher wattage adapter without any problems.

HT4060 Can I use the power cord (30-pin and USB) that came with iPad 2 to charge it in my car's USB port?

Can I use the power cord (30-pin and USB) that came with iPad 2 to charge it in my car's USB port? Or do I need to purchase one of those cigarette lighter charging devices? Thanks!

You'd have to read your car manual but chances are it won't put out enough power for the iPad. The car is likely set up to charge a phone, most of which typically want half the power an iPad wants.
I think your options are to get a cigarette lighter looking charger, making sure it's powerful enough for an iPad...or you can get power inverters for about $25, where they plug into the cigarette lighter/power point and have a normal household type outlet on the other end. Then you'd just plug your charger in like you would at home.
Another option would be to look for something like a Zagg Sparq, which is a battery operated charger...plug the Sparq into the outlet at home. Its battery holds a charge and you can use that to charge your device. (zagg isn't the only manufacturer of such a device, Targus has one as well). Just look for portable chargers.
The key to remember is to make sure it's rated for an iPad, which will want more power than a cell phone.

Can i use the charge cord from my iPad Air on my iPhone 5S?

Can i use the charge cord that shipped with my iPad Air to charge my iPhone 5S?
thanks.
iPad Air Wi-Fi, iOS 7.1, 32gb

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

Imac G5, Can I use a power supply from a G4 Q-silver (rewired connector)?

I've got a G5 Imac with a blown PS, and I'm thinking of modifying a G4 Quicksilver power supply for use as the power source for a 20" Imac G5. Yeah, I know it sounds a bit weird, but hey, I was given this Imac G5 (1st Gen. 1.8GHz) for free. It's missing the back cover, and the PS is shot. So if I blow it up it no major loss. It's a project!
I have determined that the original PS is shot and needs to be replaced. I don't really want to drop $140 for a replacement PS, as I would also have purchase the back cover for another $40 + shipping. Go figure, right? It appears that most of those power suppies tend to fail early, anyway.
During my checks of the Imac internals, I also noted that during the "power on" tests, using the old power supply, I would get the second indicator light on the motherboard to flash for just a moment. According to Apple, this indicates that the motherboard is probably good, and that the power supply is bad as it's only providing a momentary voltage spike during the start up faze, before the power drains from the PS. Then it quits. So I thought, is it possible to use the QS power supply, only modifying (rewire) the main 22 pin connector voltages so they match the Imac's pinout? Both connectors are 22 pin and most of the pinout voltages match up the same. There would appear to be only two major connectors that would need to be rewired. So can I use a modified QS power supply to power my Imac?
A couple of extra notes about this Imac:
1) There is no back or stand with this Imac, it just the main guts. So I would need to build a suitable enclosure to maintain proper air flow, and use the QS power supply outside the Imac. That wouldn't appear to be a big problem.
2) My biggest concern is this. The QS power supply uses 28v for the start circuits, versus 24v for the G5 Imac PS. Would this make a significant difference, and if so, why? I'm assuming it will, but it an area I'm unsure of with the Imac. Any thoughts or experiance in this area here would be greatly appreciated.
3) Hey, if worse comes to worse, I can always purchase the extra parts and rebuild the Imac for around $200-$300 US, and it would still be a deal (at least I think so). However, at present this is just a pet project, and if it goes south (doesn't work), it's not like I'm out some major $$$$.
Thanks in advance!

I have no idea whether your ideas would work, but go to xlr8yourmac.com for some ideas. If you decide to purchase parts, try [http://www.synaptech.com/catalog> and also look at [http://www.jimwarholic.com/2008/07/how-to-repair-apple-imac-g5.php] for tips.

Can i use a power cord for a US purchased apple tv on a 220v power outlet

need to ascertain whether the power cord on apple tv purchased in the US will work on 220V power outlet

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV will work in any voltage in any location, so will the power cord if you replace the plug to one that fits the system used in your location.
Alternatively you can change the power cord for a new one, you need a C7 non polorised connector (more commonly known as a 'a figure of eight')

This Generation MacBook Pro vers last Gen. Can I use same power adp from old model?

I just got a new MacBook Pro 17 with 512 sdd. I also have the previous generation of the same book with 7200 rpm drive. Can I use the old power adapt on the new MBPro? Thanks

I have done so with a 15", though only for a few hours. Try it!

I have iPad and I touch can I use the power cord

I have an iPad and an itouch can I use the same power cord

If you only want to use the one charger for both devices (e.g. to take on holiday) then the iPad's charger would be the best one to use as that will charge the iPad quicker, and it's safe to use with iPods and iPhones (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4327)

Can I use a SATA cable from a 2007 MacBook Pro for an SSD in a 2011 MacBook Pro?

Trying to replace the optical drive on my MacBook Pro with an SSD. The only SATA cable I have is from a 2007 model. Will that work? Also, I can't find a good sled for the drive... Will literally taping it in place suffice until I find such a sled?

An 85 watt charger will be fine. Generally, you can use a higher-powered charger than the one that came with your MBP - but using a lower-powered charger is not recommended.

Can I use the power supply from a 1.83GHz CD mini with a new 2.53GHz mini?

Because I'm too lazy to remove the old power supply, I just want to swap out my old mini for my new one.

I did this for a month, for the same reason as you. Both power supplies are are 110 watts -- although you can double-check that, if you like.
Eventually I did make the change, I guess because I didn't want to put "new wine in old skins".

YES OR NO: Can I use a power charger from a Macbook on a Macbook Pro?

Simple as that.

The same qquestion has been asked hundreds of times earlier. Let's try it one more time. Although the power adapter is charging, the MBPro battery will discharge faster than it'll charge. Eventually, the MBPro will shut down, until the battery is charged. It's just that simple.

Since the iOS7.0.2 update to my iPhone 4S, I can no longer choose use of my Bluetooth device if using the power cord to listen to MUSIC or answer my phone (choice of powercord as 'dock,' speaker,

Since the iOS7.0.2 update to my iPhone 4S, I can no longer choose use of my Bluetooth device if using the power cord to listen to MUSIC or answer my phone (choice of powercord as 'dock,' speaker, & phone only). Was this former-feature now an oversight?? I'd really appreciate having my Bluetooth once again listed as a choice of audio option. Especially considering the battery life is not what it was prior to this update, and requires recharging often.

Sorry to tell you but unless you have a Retail Apple Store close by, they are the only ones I have found with all the adapters and accessories. I bought an extra lightning to usb adapter the other day to use in my truck. Good luck....

Rebooting w/o disconnecting power cord from router

I can't get my WRT54G router to reboot without disconnectring the power cable from the back of the router. I need to do it by turning off a surge strip that the router is plugged into - I have a disability which limits my use of my hands making it impossible for me to independently unplug the power cable from the back of the unit. I had an old version of the same router that worked fine with the surge strip, but this newer router will not reboot after being shut down via the surge strip. When I use the surge strip to turn it off and back on the lights come on but are not blinking and the wireless setup button is unresponsive - I have to tilt the router up to look at the lights to be sure they are on. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

What router are you using?
Linksys routers have no battery. After you turn off the power strip, and turn it back on, the router should go through an entire reboot and re-initialization. It should do the same thing as removing the power cord from the router.
When you turn off the power strip, wait one minute, then turn the power back on.
Also, make sure the router is not plugged into a power strip socket that is "always on".

Where can you get the power cord for a 2012 airport express?

Where can you get a power cord for a 2012 airport express or the equivalent? I couldn't find one in the online store.

I'm sure the OP found his solution, but I wanted to share mine in case it helps some future seeker.
There are a lot of brand new cords on eBay for less than $10 including shipping, which is way cheaper than the $39 stereo connector kit or an AC adapter from a retailer. I just bought a used-like-new one for $5.50.
The cord is made by Volex, part number APC7Q. The Apple part number is M9573LL/A. If the seller got it from the stereo adapter kit, they'll probably list it under MD836LL/A, which is the kit's part number. I got the best search results on eBay using just the Volex part number.
Best of luck!
