Lighter adapter for MacBook Pro?

Hello,
I just wanted to know if a good lighter adapter existed for the MacBook Pro. Or, would it be simpler to get a cheaper 120V inverter, knowing that the vast majority are modified sinewave type, which is not supposed to be the ideal waveform. However, can a standard MacBook Pro charger be used with such an inverter?

Ok, and what about the lighter adapter? It seems rather awkward to have a multi-lighter socket adapter for the GPS, DVR, and an inverter for the electronics charger don't you think?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Thunderbolt adapter for macbook pro pre 2011?

    Hello,
    I have a macbook pro bought in 2009.
    There is a shared Thunderbolt display in my studio that I would like to use can I buy an adapter for my cinema screen port so I can use the Thunderbolt?
    If not is there an adapter planned by apple?
    Thanks

    Your MBP does not have Thunderbolt capability and there is no adapter for that technology.  You will not be able to connect to that display.  Note, this is taken from the Thunderbolt display specifications in the Apple online store:

  • AC adapter for Macbook PRO

    Can I use 45w AC adapter from my Mac Book Air to charge my new Macbook PRO 13?
    The PRO comes with a 60w adapter.
    Thank you

    Yes you can when the machine is asleep or shut down, but I wouldn't use it while the machine is running. Doing so (especially when running the MBP with a heavy load and a partially or fully discharged battery) may cause the AC adapter to heat up considerably more than it should, and might even trigger an overload-protection shutdown of the adapter. Whenever the MBP's power demand exceeds the 45W that the adapter can provide, the battery will be drawn upon for the excess and will discharge instead of charging, even though the adapter is connected. And under those particular circumstances, I don't know whether the fact that the adapter is connected would prevent the normal low-battery warning from appearing. If it does, then your battery could become completely drained and the machine could shut down without warning you, causing the loss of any unsaved work.
    In short, it's a workable idea for overnight battery charging, but not a good option for the daytime. Get a proper spare adapter.

  • Power/AC Adapter for MacBook Pro

    I have both a MacBook and a Macbook Pro computer. My Pro AC adapter is broken. Can I use my MacBook adapter on my MacBook Pro?
    The MacBook is a 60W and the Pro was a 85W adapter.

    Although it will work you do run a certain risk of overloading the adapter because it cannot both run the computer and charge the battery. You should get a replacement for the MBP. You can use the MB adapter while waiting for the replacement, but be sure to monitor how hot it gets. Obviously it was not designed for the MBP.

  • Wireless N adapter for MacBook Pro Core Duo

    I am really wanting to upgrade my network to Wireless N. Problem being I have the core duo MacBook Pro which does not have this capability. Does any one know if apple, or anyone else, is planning on or has released an adapter (usb or express card) for wireless N that I could plug into my machine? I have seen only one solution on the internet but would rather not void my warranty and risk screwing up my computer. Thanx.

    Yes, After I posted this yesterday I found a similar article. I think they just released it yesterday. Ask and you shall receive . I think I found another one, for half the price as well, by Edimax (EW-771Un) that is USB.
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833315077
    I think we are still on the verge of this tech becoming mainstream so there are not too many products yet. The whole "draft" n thing is annoying. I think they will have a whole new version by a different letter by the time they take the Draft off of the the designation.
    Now the question is will it work with the Wireless N Airport for maximum speed to make the expense worth it?
    Thanks.

  • Mag safe adapter for macbook pro 15 inch mid 2009 model

    is it safe to  use a 60 watts mag safe adapter for my macbook pro 15 inch mid 2009 model. i went to istore to have a battery replacement and they advice me to change my 60 watts mag safe to 85 watts because it is not compatible.....

    use the 85w charger.
    "Power adapters for Intel-based Apple notebooks are available in 45W, 60W, and 85W varieties. Although you should always use the proper wattage adapter for your Apple notebook, you can use an adapter of a higher wattage without issue.
    For instance If you have a MacBook (13-inch Late 2009) that normally uses a 60W adapter, you can also use an 85W adapter with that computer. You would not use a 45W adapter with that computer; it would not provide enough power for that MacBook. "

  • Snow Leopard and Apple DVI to Video Adapter for MacBook Pro

    everything in PAL is black/white on my tv since i upgrade do Snow Leopard.
    is this a bug?

    Slightly different problem for me.
    I'm running a MacBook Pro 3,1 DVI to Video out to an NEC Multisync FE1250. I typically connect the external, then plug in the USB for the keyboard, etc. which wakes it up in clamshell mode.
    With Snow Leopard, this either brings up a small 800x600 display in the middle of the monitor (not even full screen), or comes up in the proper 1600x1200 but all of my windows have been scaled down to the smaller size.
    Very annoying.
    Here's hoping for 10.6.1...

  • 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.

  • Airplane Adapter for MacBook Pro?

    Does anyone make an airplane power adapter for the Macbook yet? I have read elsewhere, because of the magsafe adapter, that none of them will fit? Anyone know the answer to this question?

    I wrote to iGo and Kensington. Neither currently make one although they "are looking into it". No ETA was given. I couldn't find one from anyone else. Posters on other threads suggest a power converter. There is a potential issue with these because of the MBP power requirements. I guess that would also be an issue for the adapters. Anyway I haven't seen any posts where someone had actually used a power converter with a MBP. I'd rather spend money on an extra battery than take a chance on a power converter not working.
    I have 24 hrs of flying for a vacation in June, I hope there is a solution before I leave.

  • Power adapter for macbook pro has problems...wire is breaking/tearing apart

    I bought my Macbook pro between a year to a year and a half. lately i have seen the charger sort of tearing or breaking below the magnetic part and also when it starts going through to the big white power supply thing( dont know what its called!!). Also lately i have seen that sometimes my charger works but today its not working at all and ive tried vaious power points. DO u think this is a serious problem and i should see apple care or what? Also since my warranty has expired should apple cover the costs? Please help!!Thanks!!

    Same problem here (after 1 1/2 year).
    Take a look at the customer ratings in the Apple Online Store, there are many people with the same problem:

    Maybe we should collect the issues and address this to Apple together... !

  • A line in adapter for MacBook pro 2013?

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook pro late 2013. I would love to record my guitar but it doesn't have any line in inputs, which is extremely frustrating. I know I could buy a pod and all that but money is the issue there. I bought this little thing hoping it would fix this problem but the mic port is very distorted (with a clean amp setting, and plugging in directly to the guitar).
