HT201700 Voltage input range for original Macbook air 2008/2009

My charger (A1244 | 45w) no longer works. And I need to buy a new charger. Since this is for an old 2008 macbook air, the smart thing to do is buy a charger that will work with new models (that require 85w).
Apple doesn't make this power tolerance specification easily available online. This page is helpful, but doesn't provide the tolerance specification....

Question:
I want to make sure that the (minimum) voltage input range for my original macbook air is between 14V and 18.5V.
Does anyone have a definitive answer for this?

"the smart thing to do is buy a charger that will work with new models (that require 85w)."
No, the smart thing is to buy the proper replacement for the power adapter.  Since the power adapter connector has changed, you'll also need to purchase an adapter for the MagSafe connector.

    That depends on what you have on the MBA...if you have videos, move the videos to the external drive.  If you have a lot of music, create a folder/library for the music and point iTunes there for the music.  If you have a lot of photos for iPhoto, make a new library on the external drive and move our photos over there and then select that library as the default library for iPhoto to use.
    Those are the big files and should take a lot of the load off the internal storage.

  • Do I need a special convertor for a Macbook Air in the UK?

    Hello. I am studying abroad in the UK soon and I was wondering if I needed a specific type of convertor for my Macbook Air? I've asked this question to several people and have received mixed responses. I have the MagSafe convertor for my charger and it says the voltage input is 100-240 with a 60 w magsafe power adaptor. Any information would be helpful! Thanks.

    All you need is a suitable Mains Plug Adaptor... No converter is required.
    Line voltage: 100-240V AC
    Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz
    Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)
    Storage temperature: -13° to 113° F (-25° to 45° C)
    Relative humidity: 0% to 90% noncondensing
    Operating altitude: tested up to 10,000 feet
    Maximum storage altitude: 15,000 feet
    Maximum shipping altitude: 35,000 feet

  • Is there a way to get more voltage input range from an SCXI-1520?

    I suspect the answer is no, but I�m going to ask anyway. I am using an SCXI-1520 strain gauge signal conditioner to monitor strain gauge bridges. Additionally, I�m using an unused input to measure voltage. The SCXI-1520 has an input range of -10 to +10VDC and I am using it to measure 0 to +10VDC. The problem is that the sensors that I�m measuring may have a slight more output than +10VDC. For example, a sensor may output up to +10.1vdc, which is acceptable for the sensor. The problem of course is that the system reads 10.1 as 10.0, which is an error. I could put a resistive voltage divider at the voltage input and scale the numeric output, but that�s a hassle. My NI sales rep would appreciate my purcha
    sing an additional SCXI card to handle the voltage, but that�s more $$$. (Especially for only one voltage input.) Is there a way to increase the range through software?

    I will not answer your question but will ask you something that may be familiar to you.
    Im sure your SCXI 1520 is connected to a DAQ card, right?
    For example, if you specify the voltage input range of the 1520, what happens to the input range of the DAQ card. Is it put on default (maybe +/- 10V)? Do you know a way to manipulate both the input ranges of the DAQ card and scxi 1520?
    Thanks!

    Yes, having an external HD is necessary for data backups and keeping large media files for packing around etc.
    you need data redundancy.
    best options for the price, and high quality HD:
    Quality 1TB drives are $50 per TB on 3.5" or  $65 per TB on 2.5"

    Most storage experts agree on the Hitachi 2.5"
    Hitachi is the winner in hard drive reliability survey:
    Hitachi manufacturers the safest and most reliable hard drives, according to the Storelab study. Of the hundreds of Hitachi hard drives received, not a single one had failed due to manufacturing or design errors. Adding the highest average lifespans and the best relationship between failures and market share, Hitachi can be regarded as the winner.

  • Is there a way for my macbook air (running Lion) to access an external hard drive on my Imac (running snow leopard) specifically for Iphoto and itunes?

    Is there a way for my macbook air (running Lion 10.7.2) to access an external hard drive on my Imac (running snow leopard 10.6.8) specifically for Iphoto and itunes?

    Yes. For those two applications specifically there is sharing. This presumes both computers are on and connected to the same network.
    In iPhoto, enable sharing by (on the iMac) going to the iPhoto menu > Preferences > Sharing > check Share my photos. You can either share the entire library or only selected albums. Now on your MacBook Air, in iPhoto, go to the same preference pane and select Look for shared photos.
    iTunes has something similar. In the iTunes menu > Preferences > Sharing > check Share my library on my local network. On the other computer, look in the left column for SHARED and select the iMac. You can now play that music on the MacBook Air.
    There are other ways to share files but for those two applications this is the simplest way.
    Best of luck.

    All you should have to do is to go to the Adobe web site http://www.adobe.com.
    Sign in with your Adobe ID and Password.
    Then go the web page's Search field and type in "My Orders".
    Follow the "My Orders" link to your orders, find the order corresponding to the version in question.
    There should be an opportunity there to download a new set of installation files.
    Do you have your purchased serial number? If not, I am not sure if it will be included in the "My Orders"
    area. But, it should be in the "My Products" which you can access from the Search field. Click on the
    name of your product in "My Products", and the serial number should be revealed.
    Please let us know the outcome.

    Apps for OSX aren't in iTunes: they are in the App Store in your Applications folder. The payment method is the one registered in iTunes. There's no app actually called Yoga Studio, though there are several Yoga apps. There is an iOS app called Yoga Studio but it appears to have no OSX equivalent, though I haven't done a detailed search.

  • What is the best skin for new Macbook Air 13"?

    What is the best skin for new Macbook Air 13"?
    I have a new Air and want to protect it from scratches and such.
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry, I don't like "skins". They inhibit the heat transfer necessary to keep your MBA cool. Get a soft or hard case to store it when not in use. I like Speck products.
    Just take care of it. Battle scars make it uniquely yours.

  • Where can I purchase a rubber/silicone case for my MacBook air?

    I am searching for a silicone (soft) case for my MacBook Air.  Does anyone know where I may purchase one?  I'm not referring to the rubberized hard shell cases found via Amazon and/or eBay.  I want one that is similar to the silicone cases you put on an iPod or iPad. 

    Haven't seen one of those, but I did find a thin, padded neoprene case by NuCase at the Apple store...check the on-line store and see what they have.
