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.

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 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.

Do I have to use the cable that came with my i home iw3 or can I use the charging cable from my ipad air with an adapter?

Do I need the cable that came with I home iw3 to connect my ipad air or can I use the ipad charging cable with an adapter to connect?

Just from personal curiosity, which web pages did you visit with your question that had you end up here in the 10.3 and earlier forum Circa 2003 obsoleteware?
It seems a common fault with this Apple Spoort site that so many posts are made to this forum that are irrelevant.
Can you post a few links from your browser History, just for research?
To answer your question, to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 you need to purchase the 10.6 retail DVD such as from here.

(For your home country use the Apple localised site.)
The DVD is reasonablly priced, and once installed you can upgrade your iTunes etc.

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.

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 AVCHD videofiles (*.mts) from a Panasonic videocam with LR4?

Hi,
At the moment I use LR3.6 to manage and develop my pictures from a dslr. I've read a lot about video files and LR4. Can I use LR4 to manage the video files (AVCHD 1080p50) from my Panasonic videocam HDC-SD909?

Can I use "SuperDrive for MacBook Air" with my Macbook 13"?

My Optical Drive from my Macbook is dead. I tried to repair it but it is far too expensive. My question is: can I use a 'Superdrive for Macbook Air' (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC684ZM/A#overview) as an external optical drive for my old Macbook 13" (bought in 2008)?
Thank for your help

No, it only works on Macs that lack an internal optical drive (MacBook Air and Mac Mini).

Can I use dual 24" displays as an extended desktop with my MacBook?

I have a 2.4 GHz MacBook I purchased this summer. I was considering using it for my desktop needs, but I need to have a two-monitor extended desktop. I don't particularly care for the thought of using the notebook's monitor in addition to the 24" display. I'd rather have dual 24" displays, but in talking with the "chat" line on the store website, they said this is impossible to have an extended desktop this way. I'm stubborn and can't help but think that is not impossible with the appropriate work-around.
Suggestions? Thoughts?
Thanks so much.

The only option for dual external displays on a Mac laptop is the Matrox DualHead2Go. But with a MacBook, you could only get a maximum of 1024x768 on the two montors, a completely waste of a 24" monitor IMO.

What's that power cord like cable that comes with your macbook pro??

I have no idea what this cable is for? It doesn't fit in the laptop...does anybody know?

No, the localised adapter on the corner (of the MagSafe adapter) slips off and then the power cord you have slips on in place of it, the picture captfred posted really helps identify this. The magnetic end doesn't change.
