Is it possible to fix the cable of the Power Adapter for MacBook Pro?

The cable of my power adaptor for my Macbook pro is broken, but the adatpor itself is fine, so I am wondering if it possible to replace that cable.

Where's it broken?
If you have enough space between the connector and/or the case.
Here's one of mine that I repaired:
There's only 2 conductors in there. One acts as a shield.
So 3 pieces of shrink tubing. Prepare the conductors so you can proceed as follows.
Solder the inner conductor together.
Slide one piece of shrink tubing to down to cover that splice completely - shrink.
Solder the outer shield together.
Cover w/ the second piece of shrink tubing - shrink.
Cover the entire repair w/ shrink tubing - shrink.

What's the power Adapter for Macbook pro 13inch Mid 2012

What's the power Adapter for Macbook pro 13inch Mid 2012 with core i-7, 2.9ghz, 8Gb ram?
AFAIK it should be a 60wat Megasafe power adapter.
But mine shipped with a 45Watt Megasafe. I got it as a Gift from my friend.
Thanks in Advance.

This should be my Adapter right?
Yes.
There is a drawback in addition to taking a longer time to charge up your MBP. In unusual instances when using your MBP with power adapter attached, and running a very heavy load on the CPU/GPU, the MBP will require additional electrical resources in addition to what the power adapter can provide. It will then draw upon the battery. What this means is that using a 45 watt adapter, these conditions are more likely to occur.
Using a 45 watt adapter should not harm your MBP as such.
Ciao.

The normal value of battery capacity for macbook pro

Hi there,
I noticed my battery full charge capacity value is way below the technical specification from Apple.
For macbook pro 15" early 2011 version a 77.5W battery is built-in.
However, so far after 4 cycle, my full charge capacity is 6913mAh.
It seems that I missed something. Though I didn't really notice the initial value when it's brandnew.
Statistically what's the average value of the new battery will be ? around 75W or 7500mAh? Any idea?

Best battery info resource is here:

The best antivirus and male ware for Macbook Pro

Well, that depends. In your profile you say you are using Mac OS X 10.0.x, but that won't run on a MacBook Pro, so it must be much newer than that.
Since you also say you have a 13" Late 2011 MBP, you must at least be running OS X 10.7.2, so the answer is that the best anti-virus protection available today would be a fully up-to-date 10.7.4 which will protect you against all currently known malware that can impact your computer. But of course, there is always tomorrow and that could be a different story. Just be careful with how you use your admin password and approve certificates and you will probably be fine.
A good summary of OS X malware can be fourn on Thomas Reed's site http://www.reedcorner.net/guides/macvirus/

Where do I get the AC to DC Power Adapter for a Linksys "Compact USB 4-Port Hub [USBHUB4C]

I have two Compact USB 4-Port Hubs, Model Number USBHUB4C. These Hubs can be powered, but I cannot find any information on External Power Adapters for these Hubs in any of the documentation or on the Linksys Web Site.
I need to know if Linksys has such Power Adapters available, and if so what the Model Numbers are, and how or where to purchase them.
If I will need a third party Power Adapter, I need to know what the Output Voltage & Current requirements are, and I also need to know the Polarity of the of the two Jack Contacts. [i.e. Is the center pin on the Hub's Jack Positive or Negative?] If possible I'd like to have a recommended Brand and Model Number for the Power Adapter.
Thanks In Advance,
Bruce

Hi, again,
Boy, am I glad I was able to find an answer to my problem in here. I find this very interesting. Here it is, almost 3 years after I made the original post, that I need to find the Power information, for this Device, again, but because of a Computer Crash, I could not get to the original notes, I made about this Forum Entry, so I began the search, again.
I find this very interesting. Here it is, almost 3 years after I made the original post, that I need to find the Power information, for this Device, again, but because of a Computer Crash, I could not get to the original notes, I made about this Forum Entry, so I began the search, again.
I have myriad AC/DC Converters, some of which are Voltage Selectable, but since the Power Specifications aren't on the HUB, or in the PDF Documentation, as is the case with most other Products, I came back to LinkSys/Cisco. As soon as I entered the Model Number of the "Compact USB 4-Port HUBs, Model Number USBHUB4C," for a search, this Forum entry came up on the page, and it appears there haven't been any queries, on any other subject, about this Device, in the interim.
Since the entry has been Viewed 2,484 times, hasn't it dawned on someone that it might be a good idea to carry a Power Product, that is compatible with this HUB, or at least provide a Specific Source, with a Model Number, (for instance, a Radio Shack SKU) so we don't need to hunt for one, over, and over. Why the information was never included in the package with the HUB, beats me. (It should have been on the Device, itself.)
Anyone who knows anything about USB Devices, knows that many of them cannot be powered from the USB Ports on a Computer, especially, on Laptops. Since one of the things mentioned in the Specifications is the fact that you can have "Max. Devices 127 (Daisy-chaining Hubs Together)," it would seem to be obvious that Power Information would be necessary. Since the "Daisy Chain" number is true, it should be obvious, that the "Chain" would require quite a few AC/DC Adapters to power it, adequately.
When this Device was Designed, the requirement for External Power must have been known, or there would never have been a Power Connector built into the Device. I've been in electronics for about 50 years, now, and I know that presently, it's a rarity that the Power Requirements aren't shown on the Device itself, with a Symbol depicting the Polarity of both the Inner, and Outer Conductors. Even Toys have that information shown on them.
I love these HUBs, but LinkSys/Cisco has really dropped the ball on this one. I'm guessing that a lot of people have discovered, that if this 4-Port USB HUB doesn't have External Power, they quickly decided not purchase another one, when they need to "Daisy Chain" them together, for their Network of USB Devices.
When you consider the loss of HUB Sales, coupled with a loss of income from a Power Supply they've never stocked, the numbers could be quite large. That's not even considering the Support time I'm guessing would have been necessary when Customers determined they had a problem, and needed answers. (It's not really a guess, since I talked to several Support People, without getting a satisfactory answer, before I finally came to this Forum, as a last resort.)
I was actually shocked to find that LinkSys/Cisco, didn't sell an AC/DC Power Supply for the HUB, because Power Supplies like that are so commonly required, with the Electronics sold, today. I'd be willing to wager that LinkSys/Cisco does, in fact, carry an AC/DC Power Supply that would be compatible with the "Compact USB 4-Port HUBs, Model Number USBHUB4C," they sell. When something like this happens, I wonder how many other Opportunities like this, have been missed by the people who work for this company.
We've all heard the expression about "Being too close to the Forest, to see the Trees." This may be a good example of it's meaning. At least I was able to find the answer to my Problem, thanks to the fact that the Query I made almost, 3 years ago, which had an answer, was still available to me, thanks to this Forum.
Very Interesting!

What is thes best 5.1 speaker kit for macbook pro 2011

what is the best 5.1 speaker kit for my macbook pro
thanks for help.

A 5.1 is considered a surround sound system, it's typically used in home theater systems, not computers.
A computer doesn't have the necessary electronics to produce the rich quality of sound that a 5.1 system can deliver, the PC 5.1's are just gamers gimmick cards, they too really don't have the necessary electronics or wattage for rich, full bodied sound.
Now I can tell you what works really well as a 5.1 system for iTunes, movies and such from your MacBook Pro, or anything really.
A Harmon Kardon 5.1 Home Theater.
It has 110 Watt speakers, 5 of them, and a 200 watt subwoofer that will make your heart thump in your chest.
You need only two things with this system, a optical stereo mini Toslink adapter and a optical Toslink cable.
You plug one inside your MacBook Pro (enable the optical out) and the other to the receiver and mess with the remote to enable theater mode from the computer for iTunes (takes stereo and makes it quad sound with separate bass)
For playing DVD's with 5.1, you enable the right 5.1 encoding, Dolby, ProLogic etc on both and the Mac passes the 5.1 through the system to the receiver.
For playing 3D games, you just pass the 5.1 through, the receiver handles the surround sound.
The important thing is setup, the listening point needs to be right in the center of the four channel speakers, the center is over your monitor or TV and the subwoofer is stuck in a free corner someplace, it's placement is unimportant, as long as it's in the room and not blocked.
Brother, you have system like this hooked up to your iTunes and tears will be falling from your eyes the music sounds so good. Makes you full hear the full quality of the iTunes bought music.
Will set you back a couple of thousand, but it's worth it. All the cables etc are color coded, easy to setup.

What is the correct part number for dvi to vga adapter for macbook pro model A1260

Can someone tell me the Apple part number for the DVI to VGA adapter that came with a Macbook Pro model A1260? (Early 2008)
My adapter has reached the end of useful life.
Thanks!

You have a MacBook Pro 15" Early 2009 (MacBook Pro 4,1)
The Mac's port is a Dual-link DVI (VGA, Composite and S-video with adapter)
The DVI connector connects to the Dual link-DVI port,thus you need a DVI to VGA adapter.

You also can search the Apple store online for the part, but it's so basic and simple that paying more for Apple's version is just for looks.

What is the cheapest way to upgrade memory for Macbook Pro

I want to upgrade my memory to 8GB in my MacBook Pro.
Apple are charging $400.
I've seen this for £50. Will it work fine? If not, where can I get the best 8GB memory for a good price?

It was Kingston memory (KVR1333D3SO/4G; the newer batches are the same part number but are marked by "4GR" following the slash in the number). I did not buy a paired kit as it was not in stock; this may have contributed to the performance drop.
The metric in question was Xbench's Memory Test, specifically the System > Allocate number. Before the upgrade, I routinely benchmarked between 2.5 and 2.9 Malloc/sec (or a score of 750-800). After the Kingston memory upgrade, I never saw figures above 1.6 Malloc/sec (or a score of 420-450); roughly half of what I had seen prior to upgrading.
Since installing my OWC memory (which came in a package of two sticks), the performance is generally identical to the OEM (Hynix) across the board.
Hope that helps/clarifies my observations.
That helps a lot. Thanks very much for clarifying that. Yes, Kingston Value RAM is definitely not the way to go, as it has not been tested for compatibility, nor designed for use in Macs. See my other posts in this thread.
Kington's KTA line, OTOH, is tested for compatibility with Mac systems, comes in matched sets, and is very reliable.
AFA Kingston RAM, bottom line for Mac users:
KVR = bad
KTA = good

What is the best audio production hard drive for macbook pro 13" 2.53 ghz?

I'm new to mac, this has been a big transition.
I've been looking on newegg and there are tons of choices.
Looking for a good hard drive for music production in live 8, 7200 rpm has been recommended. Should it be internal or external?
I'm making minimalist oldschool synthpop so I don't need too many plugins or tracks at once but I am gigging so I want gear that's simple, I love everything about the apogee duet in this respect.
I have macbook pro 13" 2.53 ghz 4GB ram
Apogee Duet
Ableton live 8 standard

For internal, you can't go wrong with the Hitachi Travelstar. They work very well with the MacBook Pro and right now you can get 300 GB of 7200 RPM for less than 75 dollars at Newegg. You could try that and see if you really need an external given the type of music you're working with.
If you decide to get an external, I would steer away from all-purpose drives and get one designed for audio, like the Glyph drives. Along the Apogee Duet simplicity lines, they're designed for music production and they just work. Most of them come with carrying cases. Just plug the Glyph into your MacBook Pro, plug the Duet into the Glyph, and that's it.

Is the free norton 360 ok for macbook Pro

is the FREE Norton 360 offered ok for MacBook Pro please

I seriously doubt Norton 360 will work on a Mac TBH. You don't actually need any security software on Macs anyway. I've never used anything here and I've been using Macs for years here at home (iMac & MacBook Air) and never had any issues, viruses or malware.
Just make sure you have the built in Firewall enabled.
System Preferences>Security & Privacy (you may need to click the pad-lock icon to make changes and OS X will ask you for your log-on password which you should also have set-up)
If you have MacBook that you take out and about with you it's also a good idea to enable FileVault (which encrypts your data on your Mac's hard disk drive / solid state drive)
OS X is much more secure than Windows ever will be.
