Macbook Pro Travel Charging Stations?

Why does Apple not have a charging station that allows a Macbook Pro to use only (1) wall outlet while simultaneously charging (2-3) other electrical devices?  If I'm missing something, please enlighten me.  Thank you in advance.

It would be hard to find another device that uses 16.5 Volts DC and a magnetic cord.
But easy with the devices above ...
... combined with one like this as well:
(Apple 5W USB power adapter)

    My macbook pro 2012 charger does not charge my computer anymore. No green light on the charger, nothing. Any ideas?

    Hi there 24ghz!

  • Does a usb cab to 60 Watt L-Tip Power Adapter charger for Apple MacBook Pro Laptop Charger exist

    does a usb cable
    does a Usb cable to60 Watt L-Tip Power Adapter charger for Apple MacBook Pro Laptop Charger exist? i have an external battery pack i would like to use to charge my iphone and macbook pro.

    Not that I am aware of.  An Internet search on your part will be required.  If you should find something to that effect, note it will not be endorsed by Apple and the magnetic connector will probably be in violation of Apple patents.

  • Using MacBook Pro while charged?

    Hey
    I've got a 2010 15" MacBook Pro - just bought in September - and its awesome.
    Got a question though. Will using the MacBook Pro when charged fully, so theres a green light on the MagSafe Adapter, decrease battery life/health?
    Thanks.

    No. It's fine to leave it plugged in 95% of the time if that's most convenient for you. Just don't leave it plugged in 100% of the time: us it on battery power for an hour or two every day or two.

    My MacBook Pro wont charge or turn on? any ideas what to do?

  • My 2014 Macbook Pro's charger is not secure. It flicked out while closing the laptop and cracked the screen, is this something apple will repair as its the chargers fault?

    I have a 2014 15" Retina display Macbook Pro.
    Moving on from my 13" 2012 Macbook Pro the charger on the 2014 model isn't as good and keeps flicking out, and not staying in place.
    Unfortunately it flicked out on its own at the wrong point, when I was closing the screen. This resulted in the screen cracking!! Because this is a fault with the Macbook's charger that has cracked my screen, will apple cover it and replace my screen?
    If not does anyone know how much screen replacements cost at apple?
    I have applecare but screen damage does not cover it.
    Thanks guys!

    There's no one from Apple here, so we can't advise you on what it would cost to replace the screen. You should just take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP (making an appointment first) and get and estimate for replacement.
    I doubt that Apple will fix the screen gratis - they will likely pin it down to a user accident. If you can actually demonstrate that it's the fault of the adapter, you may get a break.
    Good luck,

  • New MacBook Pro wont charge.

    I just got a MacBook Pro for Christmas. At first it would charge normally. Then it began to stop and start charging normaly. Now it wont charge at all. My battery condition is normal. I plugged the extension into my Ipad charger and it charged it. I have looked at all the other solutions apple has given and none have worked. Please help. I only have 6% left.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 charging behaving weird.  Charges and stops repeatedly and takes very long.  Help?

    So a few weeks ago my MacBook Pro 2011 started having charging problems.  I would use it normally.  Then plug it in to charge anywhere between 5-20 percent like I've been doing for the past year that I've had it (since August 2011).  Anyway, what happens now is that it charges but extremely slowly - at least 4 hours to fully charge as opposed to the 1 1/2 to 2 hours that it used to take.  Also, it seems to be draining a lot quicker than it used to while only browsing the internet.  Furthermore, while charging, the battery meter goes from the percent its charged to to "not charging" back and forth.  What's going on?  Is there a problem with my battery, my computer, or the magsafe charger?  [please refer to the pictures below to get a better understanding of my problem - these pictures were taken over a 2 hour time period - a time period that usually is enough to charge my computer] - if you'll notice, in the first two pictures, the percent barely went up by 10 in a half hour period:

    Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be?
    Thank you,

    try doing a SMC RESET and see if that sorts it out for you.
    if doesn't work - better take it to Apple and have them look at it before something else goes wrong...
    good luck - hope you get it sorted out..

  • Macbook pro for work station with external monitor?

    I shoot weddings and need to run cs2 plus other programs and storage for photos.
    I read in Macworld where they recc. the Macbook pro instead of a power mac as a work station using a 24" dell. They said the power mac is overkill.
    Do you think I would be happy using it in this way?
    I would save a bundle in buying another computer.
    I do have an older PC now tower that I use..
    I also would have to run windows since there are programs that i run on xp that they don't make for the mac.
    Maybe I should just stay with a PC for the workstation?

    if you meant compared to a powermac (ie, a G5), then the macbook pro is actually on par or faster than those machines. but if you meant the current mac desktop, the mac pro, then indeed that is a significantly more powerful machine.
    be warned though.. adobe cs2 is currently not native for any intel mac, MBP or otherwise. so it's going to run much slower than what you'd expect, and much slower than what the machine is really capable of, due to emulation. this will be resolved with cs3, which should be out before the end of the month.
    as for your windows apps that don't exist for the mac. before you jump in with the intention of definitely running windows on the MBP, you should take a look around and see if there are any mac programs that can do what you need to do with those apps, even if they aren't exactly the same. this may not be an option for you, but if it is, it's a nicer way to work than to be forced to use up all the extra disk space and system resources and effort, to have a windows install running as well. that said, if you can use these apps through parallels, it can be a pretty seamless way of accessing those apps when you need to.. but you'll chew into your drive space still.
    but in principle, what you want to do is definitely achievable. you won't get the most bleedingly fast system that a mac pro desktop would give you.. but as I said, the current MBPs are right up there with the power of the G5 macs, in many cases faster, so it's definitely desktop class performance even if not in the same league as the mac pro. photoshop will annoy you if you try to run the non native version though.. so make sure you get the intel version (ie cs3) as soon as it comes out. all in all, together with a nice large 2nd monitor (and prob a good external drive too) it'll make for a great working setup.
    I'd also get a wireless keyboard and mouse, and a stand to put the MBP on, so it sits at monitor height and you can just work as if it were a desktop machine. that's what I do, and it's great.

  • MacBook Pro not charging after OSX Lion 10.7.2 upgrade

    After making the upgrade to OSx Lion 10.7.2 my MacBook Pro 2011 (2 months old) does not charge anymore, before worked perfectly.
    Magsafe led was off, and battery indicator said power source is not connected. After the battery drained to empty, the magsafe turned on, but goes green to orange to off in cycles. During the cycles, the battery indicator was cycling also from calculating, not charging, etc. and the display was dimming like if I was plugin in and plugin off the magsafe connector. After having the computer connected during all night, now is charged but magsafe does not charge anymore.
    I tried the SMC reset and chacked that firmware is up to date. Any clues of what is going on?

    Thanks a lot for replying, but what exactly does the istat widget program do?
    Also, the fan noise seems like a normal noise every time I launch a program, but it's getting to the point where I am frustrated(annoyed) of the fan noise. I would've thought that upgrading to a Mac book would cause less fan noise because of it's high processor. Sometimes I feel like I should go back to a Dell or HP because of this problem, but at the same time, I love my laptop. ;)

  • Macbook Pro not charging; do I need a new Magsafe Charger?

    I have an early 2011 13-inch Macbook pro. Recently, I've noticed that my magsafe charger does not charge my laptop. The light turns on (dull green, not bright like it normally is) and the power source is switched to the power adapter, but the adapter does not charge the laptop (see photo). I have tried the following troubleshooting steps to no avail:
    1) I cleaned the magsafe port, there was no debris t begin with
    2) I reset the SMC
    3) I tried different outlets
    When I used my roommate's charger (from a much older macbook with the T-shaped connector) , the laptop was able to share up just fine. So my questions is whether I need a new charger or whether I can fix mine somehow?
    Thanks

    Did you also check the magsafe connector of the charger? Possibly one of the pins is stuck. See point 7 on this page: Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters - Apple Support

  • Issue with MacBook Pro (Not Charging)

    I'm not extremely computer savvy with Macs, so bear with me when you give instructions.
    I've had this 15'' MacBook Pro since 2010 for when I entered college. I've been using it since this year. Up until the last week my charger has been not charging very well. The ports are clean and well managed, no prongs or pieces have been worn away; physically the notebook and charger have been kept well since I received it.
    This problem started copping up last week. When I attach it to the MacBook Pro the LED light does not come on and the info spot on the top tells me (Not Charging) and even after receiving the low battery warning and plugged in it still tells me that there is no charge and will drain itself despite being plugged in.
    Now if I power down the notebook it charges as usual. No issues.
    As far as I remember this was NEVER an issue. For the past two years I remember sitting on my dorm bed many a time and when the warning came up I would go get the charger and plug it in and let it charge as I continued to work. It would charge and have no problems with the notebook being run at the same time as the charging.
    As I type it is plugged in and seems to have a delay in deciding to charge. I received the warning and plugged it in, it took about 10 minutes until it started deciding to charge with a orange light.
    This computer has a healthy charging basis; I oftern drain it completely and let it recharge fully without any interuptions while it is off.
    Now it seems as if running it and charging it simultaneously has become a problem often. Why is this?
    Thanks.

    You may need a new battery. Draining the battery all the way to zero is not good for the battery. It will shorten its life span.
    Take it to an Apple Genius Bar and have it checked out.

  • MacBook pro 13" charger port broken any tips to repair?

    Hey guys, I have a mid 2010 MacBook pro and the charger port has broken and won't take any charge at all. There's 5 little pins inside the port and pin 1 and pin 5 seem to have had the caps taken off them or something. I'm unsue what the cause was but can anyone tell me if this is repairable? And how much it's likely to cost?

    If you have AppleCare the repairs will be covered under its warranty.  However, if the repair techs consider the damage "accidental" you will be responsible for the cost of the repairs.
    No one here can tell you how much it will cost.  You will need to ask the repair shop about the cost and/or provide you with an estimate. 
    If you do not have AppleCare and want to DIY, do a Google search, research YouTube's "How To" video tutorials and Do-It-Yourself Laptop Repair 

  • MacBook Pro static charge thing

    So I have a 2007 Macbook Pro that I sometimes place on top of my 32 inch widescreen CRT television. I do this so I can watch movies from the laptop through the TV and for connecting to XBOX live through my Macbook's airport card.
    The situation is that when I turn my TV on with the Macbook already turned on and awake on top, the laptop's display will go black, make that funny disc drive sound that it makes when booting up, and then act as if it just awoke from sleep mode. I'm wondering if this is caused by a static charge created from the TV or some other electrical issue. I can take a small video of it if I need to but I think I explained this fairly well. Thanks for any answers!

    Don't put the MBP on top of the TV set. Get a longer cable for it.
