Thanks for the reply,
but the powerbook charger I have is also a 85 Watt Magsafe.
Hope this additional info helps
None of the powerbooks came with a MagSafe adapter. It was introduced with the MacBook and MacBook Pro. Are you sure it is a powerbook adapter? Here are all the adapters and models used on.

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.

IBook use Powerbook charger?

My iBook charger has begun to work intermittently. I had a Powerbook G4 titanium before this iBook and the same time happened to it. Eventually, it began to spark, and I had to replace it.
My question is, can I use the Powerbook charger on my iBook? I thought I read somewhere not to do that, but it seems that since the replacement chargers Apple sells is for both the Powerbook and iBook that I should be able to do this. I just wanted to ask before I tried it.
Thanks!
Sharon

Hi Sharon,
Yes, you can use it. iBooks and PowerBooks use the same 65w adapter.

Can I use my iBook charger?

I am on vacation now and forgot to bring my powerbook charger. However, my husband brought his iBook with us and he has his iBook charger. Is it safe to use the iBook charger with my Powerbook? Thanks for the advice!

Thanks so much!

PowerBook Charging Problem?

I have a PowerBook G3 Wallstreet Edition. I have two batteries and a standard charger. When both batteries are in and the Power Adapter is plugged in, the top corner of the screen shows one battery with a 'lightning bolt' and the other with a 'wall plug.' Everything works fine, however the batteries do not charge. They only charge while the computer is off. This is not a major problem, but I would be nice if they could charge while I am using it.
Thanks

mdk11,
If all hardware is sound, only one battery will charge at a time; the same is true while running on battery...only one battery is used at a time.
Since the batteries charge when turned off, have you noticed if they will charge while the 'book is sleeping? If so, you may have a known problem. But before exploring that possibility, will one battery charge while the 'book is running? If not, then possibly you have a weak power adapter or even the wrong power adapter. If the power adapter is undersized or weak, then the power manager will first provide power to run the 'book and the battery will not charge.
The Wallstreet uses a 45 watt adapter; the adapters from the PB1400, 3400, any G3, and clamshell iBook are interchangeable. Some have used the Powerbook (Duo) 36 watt adpater but I do not believe it will charge the Wallstreet's battery when running.
I would first reset the power manager to cover all bases, and you can address the earlier questions I posed.

Is it ok to use your Powerbook with no battery?

Is it ok to use your powerbook without the batter in, but the AC power plugged in?
Sorry, I'm a new Mac user.

I don't mean to pick, but are you sure about that? I'd be very interested to read where it says that, or understand what the reason for that is. It doesn't sound very logical to me.
If you have a fully charged battery the power supply doesn't send any power to the battery anyway, so it may as well not be there. The only thing you risk is losing all your unsaved data if the power goes out (unless you connect to a UPS) and reducing battery capacity if you don't use it much.
I'd be interested to know.
Cheers.

Can I use an USB charg

Hello,
if bought an USB charger, so that I can plug it in an normal socket and use it to charge my 2GB Zen V Plus.. But is it good for the Batteries? Its output is: DC5.5V + (underscored +) 0,20V ===+ 400mA

The first MacBook Pro's were not released until the beginning of 2006, and they had USB 2 ports.
Anything available new in 2005 would have been a PowerBook G4 and they also had USB 2 ports.
A USB 3 disk will just transfer data slower then it could do, if you plug it into a USB 2 port though, so you can buy either.

When I try to turn on my iPhone 4, it wouldn't turn on unless if I use an iPad Charger. When it will turn on. I can't connect to any WiFi Services or my Service Provider, I can't text or call anyone. When I unplug my iPhone 4 it'll just shut off.

So when I try to plug in My iPhone 4 to any plug it won't turn on or charge unless if I use an iPad charger. When I do get to turn it on. My Phone will Standby for a few seconds( While I'm Typing my 4-Digit Code) then it'll unlock and go to the home screen. Once I'm on the home Screen I can't Call, Text or Email anyone because my iPhone Can't detect any Wifi Hotspots and it also can't connect to my Service Provider, It'll just Say "Searching...". The non-internet apps work perfectly fine. So since I was able to use Just an iPad Charger to turn on my iPhone 4, I tried a Regular iPhone charger that were plugged into a wall or my computer. When its Plugged in, my iPhone will turn on ( Showing the Apple Logo) then turn back off. It'll constanly do this only when it's plugged into a Regular iPhone Charger, Either plugged into a Wall Socket or my Computer. So I Tried to Restore the Phone by using some of the Methods, given by other iPhone 4 Users, non of them worked. My iPhone won't Restart, Restore, Turn on without a Charger, Be Detected on my Computer and Detect my Service Provider. I really need help to fix my iPhone 4. I'm really not sure if it's a Malfunction with the Software on the iPhone, if my Sim Card is Broken. if the System is Corrupted but it only happens Rarely.

Can I use my Powerbook 12" without the internal HD?

Hi everybody!
I have a Hard Drive (160GB, Samsung) in my Powerbook12", that's about to fail. I bought it less than a year ago, so I can get a new one for free, except that I have to pay for, or do, the extraction from the computer. As some time may elapse before they send me the replacement drive that I will install, I wondered if I would be able to temporarily use my Powerbook, booting from an external firewire hard drive, but with no internal hard drive. Thanks for your help!

Thank you for your answer. In fact, I was wondering if the physical absence of the internal HD might be a problem when reassembling the computer to use it, this led me to the idea of installing the old initial internal drive, which I was given back when my present hard drive was installed. Does this make any sense?
Or can I really reassemble my computer leaving the hard drive bracket empty, and make it work?
More generally, are there other options for upgrading a 12" 1.33 GHz Powerbook, apart from increasing the hard drive size and RPM?

You may be having problems with your battery. However, they were not caused by using your iPad charger. The iPad charger is compatible with the iPhone and can safely be used with it. If your phone is less than a year old, you may want to take it to your nearest Apple Store and have them take a look at it. If the battery is not functioning correctly, they will replace it for you.

What can I use my Droid Charge for, after I upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy S2 for VZW on Sept 8?

what can I use my Droid Charge for, after I upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy S2 for Verizon on September 8?
I guess it can run fine on Wi-Fi and become a media player.... or is there a market for 1-month-old Droid Charge phones?
How much trade-in value can I get from VZW or BestBuy or Amazon?
Thanks!
