I believe that only works with the computer itself, not the accessories that come with it.
Just looked at the warranty information with an earlier version power adapter (one for PowerBooks) and it is one year. That seems to still be the standard Apple warranty for Apple branded accessories.
Call Apple, go to an Apple store or go online and get it replaced.

Can I used my New MBP13' with a 85W MagSafe Power Adapter

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)

85w Magsafe Power Adapter Plastic cover

THe 85w Magsafe Power adapter comes with a plastic protective cover for the magnetic DC connector . I lost mine. Does anyone know if Apple or anyone else sells it. Im just really bothered by it. Plus I dont want dust to accumulate on the magnetic DC connector.

The magnet is in the MBP not in the connector on the AC adapter.
i'm not really sure about that. I wish you could just answer my query and be helpful. Or correct me and at the same time offer a solution or answer to the question. That would really help. Don't post if you don't want to help.
But for arguments sake. According to:
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=816 A0BD3&fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/power&nplm=MA938LL/A#overview
"The 85 Watt MagSafe Power Adapter features a MAGNETIC DC CONNECTOR that ensures your power cable will disconnect if it experiences undue strain and helps prevent fraying or weakening of the cables over time. In addition, the MAGNETIC DC helps guide the plug into the system for a quick and secure connection.
plus, this apple page:
http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/design.html
says that,
"Innovative right down to the power cord._The MacBook Pro power adapter with MagSafe connector is just that: a magnetic connection instead of a physical one._"
I dont know, maybe the mbp connector has a magnet also, but im very sure according to apple the 85w Magsafe adapter has a magnet.
Anyway, it doesnt really matter to me where the magnet is. As long as it magnetically connects.

Using ac power adapter vs. battery on MacBook Pro

I purchased a 15 inch MacBook Pro with retina display a couple months ago. Most of the time I use it with the ac power adapter. Is there any harm to the battery life if I never left the battery drain down some and then recharge it? I have come to understand that when the battery is fully charged and plugged in to an outlet the battery is basically on standby.
Thanks

If you use it mostly on AC, then once every one or two months you should use it on the battery until the battery runs down to about 20%. Then reconnect the AC so the battery can recharge.

Old MagSafe Airline Adapter not working with MacBook Pro Retina

I've got an old MagSafe Airline Adapter (one I bought when it first came out) that I'm trying to use with my MacBook Pro Retina (using a MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter). Sometimes the light is green, sometimes it is off, sometimes the battery icon in the menu bar shows plugged in, sometimes not, but in any combination, the machine is not maintaining charge; the battery discharges at a normal rate for just being on battery. For giggles, I borrowed my seatmate's year-or-two-old MagSafe adapter (the one with the right-angle plug) and plugged it into my machine (also using the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 converter). The light on that one turns orange, and though the battery icon shows "Not Charging", the battery is maintaining charge with the newer adapter. (My adapter, BTW, is able to maintain the charge on her 13" MacBook Pro.)
Was there a change to recent versions of this adapter to make the new ones work with the Retina MacBooks where the old one will not?

the green light on the mag safe turns on?
you should reduce your usage to a very minimal amount as I'm sure the airline doesn't output a strong enough signal for you to be running full screen films with high res. Maybe you should close your macbook P and see if it is charged after a little while of not using it.
turn your screen lights down, turn the sound gHZ down, quit all the downloadin'.
if you must run flash make sure you have the latest version (from the adobe site).
You're computer is intense and if you use it more then it's gaining, of course it going to be draining .
But this is probably moot since you're probably on said plane now. or was.
I'd imagine if you're not satisfied with the product you should return it detailing your situation.

Any Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter with audio for macbook pro mid 2009

connecting MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) to Hisense TV with audio?!?!!?
hello everyone.
if anyone is familar with successfully getting the older macbook pros that dont support audio out to stream and preform digital audio on a TV or has any helpful information that will get me familiar with trying to successfully stream audio and visual. and can PLEASE HELP ME in any way to understand what they know and teach me how to solve my problem id really appreciate it.
i want to connect my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) to my Hisense LED LCD TV, ModelNumber:40H3E and getting digital audio sound from my TV as well as video, but have no clue on how or where to even start to successfully pairing the two and getting sound.
I own a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) this MacBook model doesnt support an HDMI port. My MacBooks model has the Mini Displayport which supports video out but does not support audio out. Can someone help me by telling me exactly which Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter with audio will support my model MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) and exactly what HDMI wire do i need to buy that will successfully preform digital audio and sadisfying quality visual through TV?
i have NO expierence with the proccess have NO knowledge about any of this or these Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters with audio. i have no idea what kind of adapter and HDMI cord to buy that will give me sound from my tv for my type of macbook. '
im not familar AT ALL with any of this so i hope me giving you my MacBook Pros make and model and my TV's model number will be enough information for someone to help me.
just please give me anything you can on this topic
thank you so much,

With a 2009 MacBook Pro, you need to use two connections to your TV: one for video and another one for audio. The miniDisplayPort on the 2009 models does not support audio, so you need a separate audio cable:
miniDisplayPort adapter for video - I use the Apple miniDisplayport-DVI adapter + a DVI-HDMI cable like this one
audio cable for audio - use a 3.5mm male stereo-to-2xRCA male cable like this one
Connect the miniDisplayport adapter + DVI/HDMI cable to your MacBook Pro's miniDisplayPort output and the HDMI input on your TV
Connect the audio cable to your MacBook Pro's audio out and your TV's audio in
The only potential gotcha is if your Hisense TV requires audio via the HDMI cable when you use an HDMI cable. The H3e user manual is unclear about this.

Is there a compatibility issue with the Current USB 3 external Hard drives and MacBook Pro 2011 (USB 2)?

I am currently having bad hangs with my 13" MacBook Pro (2011) which I book 2012 ad a New external Harddrive (WD My Passport Edge) which was given to me as a gift.
Friends of mine told me there is a compatibility issue between the USB 3 cord and the USB outlet of my MacBook Pro.
Although this shouldnt be the case as the box of the Hard drive I got said it was compatible.
I even downloaded the WD Drive Utilities and sometimes whenthe Harddrive is plugged in the Utilities doean't Open but just bleeps in the Applications Dock.
Before I used the Harddrive I read a lot from the WD Manual and went to their site and downloaded a firmware update so I really don't know what the problem is.
What I am afraid of is that I may lose some files if I place them in the external Harddrive.
Can anyone help me with this or should I be asking for a replacement harddrive?
This is my first experience with an external hard drive as I never used one before.
Thank you very much.

To be honest, I've had back luck with Western Digital drives and I avoid them at all costs. If I were you, I would return the WD drive and look at externals from OWC or MacMall (LaCie, even G-Tech).
That's just my personal opinion, mind you...

Question about MagSafe Power Adapter

I just got a new magsafe power adapter and wanted to know if leaving it connected to the electricity for too long damage it?
Last question, my battery is dead, should I take it off andrun on the adapter, or just leave the battery on?
A friend of mine told me tht "dead batteries" ruin power adapter?
Thanks all

I'm afraid you should buy a new battery, Frank.
Running on the power adaptor alone will slow down your MBP. - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2332
Running with a seriously defective battery installed, though, may not only place a heavy load on your adaptor but may result in the battery deforming (causing other damage) or worse.
Leaving your adaptor plugged into the power when not being used probably won't hurt it, but it will use more electricity than a fluoro lightbulb.

60W MagSafe Power Adapter no longer working?

Hi,
I have the 2009 MacBook Pro and I recently have been having trouble with my MagSafe Power Adapter. I checked if it was just the cord that wasn't working properly, so I switched out the adapter and put in the extension cord instead, same issue. Then I checked to see if it was my battery in my MacBook and used a different charger, this one charged it. I checked with another MacBook and it didn't charge it as well. Anyone know if Apple Care takes care of this or I actually have Best Buy's Geek Squad coverage would this cover it?
If anyone knows anyway to fix it it'd be greatly appreaciated because I don't want to buy the new MagSafe Power Adapter with the weird silver handle because in my experience those don't hold in as well as the old ones.

Occasionally, the adapter does die out, so you've done everything to test it out, indicating it is gone. If you have the standard warranty, then you have a year from purchase, or three years if you purchased the extended AppleCare. I'm sure if you take it down to your local Apple store (bring your laptop with you), they'll diagnose it. And they probably have replacement adapters in stock.
Don't know anything about the Best Buy thing. Given the strength of Apple's warranty and service, you may have overspent for their coverage.

Why does it take me so many tries before I can get the amber and/ or green light to come on, on my MagSafe power adapter?

I have been having a problem for a little while now, and I have decided to overlook it for the most part. However, it is really starting to get on my nerves. The issue I don't believe is with the MacBook Pro itself, however with the MagSafe power adapter. The adapter itself is in great condition, it is brand new, but when I attach it to the computer, the computer reads that it is there, as it shows it is charging or is charged as shown by the battery indicator in the top right of the OS X toolbar. However, the amber and/ or green light doesn't come on, right away - the first time - most of the time, on the adapter head itself. I usually have to unplug it and plug it back in multiple times before I get a light to come on. I have tried to clean the adapter itself, and the MagSafe port on the computer, but that seems to only help for a short amount of time, and it doesn't look real dirty, or like any pins are stuck on the adapter. I have also tried other outlets, but that doesn't seem to help, so I don't think I am getting dirty power.

Unfortunately, it *could* be the computer. And it could be the adapter. Aside from trying Resetting the System Management Controller there's not much you can do except taking it in for testing.

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.

Apple MagSafe Airline Adapter for MacBook and MacBook Pro

Does the Apple MagSafe Airline Adapter for MacBook and MacBook Pro work in cars to in the cigerete lighter and how does it work on a airoplane cause in airoplanes there is only a mike connection thats about it ?

This is an alternative solution that works great for me. I always carry a small and lightweight DC to AC converter with me in my case when I'm on the road. It's a Wagan Tech Smart AC 100 USB that I picked up at Costco for under 20 bucks. 100 watt capability and allows me to use all my electronics and chargers on the road. I can use it to charge the cellphone, laptop, ipod, etc.
Even includes a USB port on the side for charging USB based products and also includes the aircraft adaptor (and of course a cigarette lighter adaptor) and everything fits into a small cloth bag (included).
http://www.wagan.com/htmls/detail-2382.html
The link is for the newer 120 watt version but it looks identical otherwise. If you don't have access to Costco then check the link provided for either direct purchase or the availability of other resellers. There's a "where to buy" tab at the top of the screen. Cheers!
P.S. I just noticed that you are from the U.K. I'm sure this will still work as your MacBook charger should autoswitch down to 110v input, you'll just need to make sure you have the North American plug installed. If not, I'm sure there are similiar DC to AC adaptors available in the U.K. Hope that helps!

Apple iPod USB Power Adapter - ?

Hello everybody!
I've got a problem with my new iPod mini and I hope you may help me.
After updating the new software for my iPod Apple told me to charge the battery with a Apple iPod USB Power Adapter which I don't have.
I tried to connect the iPod to my computer (Windows XP) but there's always the picture of the adapter on my iPod. I've tried to reset it, restart the computer and so on ...
But the display always shows this sign of the adapter.
I hope you can help me, I'd be very greatful.
Laura
iPod mini Windows XP

but it's already worked with my computer, the iPod worked alright, so I don't think that I need this stuff you've just named.
The iPod will work just fine without those things.
It's the update/restore process that needs the A/C adapter.
Anyway, you don't need to listen to me if you don't want to. I won't be insulted.
