Power adapter macbook pro

I just my local apple dealer asking about a new mag power adapter for my macbook pro. I was told the 85 watt power adapters were recalled. What gives?

I haven't seen anything official about a recall.
If you look through some of the other threads in here, a number of people have been having problems with the cord fraying and/or melting, causing them to stop working.
I currently have a repair request in; the person at the genius bar said nothing about a recall. From my conversation with him, it seems I am only getting the replacement for free because I had my Mac in for a hard drive repair less than 90 days ago.
YMMV.

    Power on MacBook Pro takes me to login screen. All user icons appear as normal. Once I enter password for myself (administrator) spinning takes longer than normal and doesn't log in but displays a no sign (circle w line through it) when attempting to login from guest account it takes me to screen that says that the computer will restart to a safe safari system for the guest user.

  • Power ON Macbook Pro with keyboard

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if there is a way to set up my Apple wireless keyboard to turn on my Macbook pro (using Lion)?
    My old G4 used to power ON with the wired keyboard, would be helpful to do the same with this new configuration.
    Thanks,

    Question - Is it harmful to the laptop to allow it to sleep only and never turn it OFF?
    Not harmful to the computer itself, but if your machine sleeps longer than three or four days without the AC adapter connected, you're likely to find its battery dead when you try to rev it up again. And if the battery is left discharged for long, it may never come back to life.
    And if "never" in your post really means never at all, that won't really do it any harm either, but it's neither wise nor likely to be possible. If you really mean "almost never", like once every few weeks or months, that's perfectly OK. My own MBP hasn't been shut down for a grand total of twelve hours since I got it more than three years ago. It sleeps whenever I'm not using it.

  • VGA Adapter MacBook pro 2010

    Hi, I have bought a Apple - MINI DVI - VGA ADAPTOR-APPLE MAC so I can use a external computer screen monitor, but not sure if the adapter which I got was the right on after searching the web for any answer. I have a MacBook pro 2011.

    You need a mini-Displayport-to-VGA adapter. No Macbook Pro has a mini-DVI port.

  • Duel System Adapter + MacBook Pro = Kernel Panic?

    I was on set for a P2 shoot as the "P2 Dumper" a few days ago. Cards where all ranges of sizes (4GB to 32GB) offloaded to my MacBook Pro via a Duel Systems Adapter. The MBP was purchased brand new on Sunday (2.5 Ghz 15"; so 10.5.2 & QT 7.4.1 were pre-installed). I installed the Panasonic P2 Mac utilities (P2PCCard Install, P2 Formatter, etc) as well as P2CMS after I installed FCS 2 and updated to FCP 6.0.2.
    Now, I'd read that the Duel System Adapter usually required a system restart before you could typically read the card. What I didn't expect was the kernel panic I kept experiencing whenever I inserted a P2 card into the adapter after a period of inactivity.
    What I mean to say is, when offloading one card after another (usually in the span of 20 minutes), I never got a kernel panic. But when I had to start the process from scratch - meaning I hadn't offloaded a card in 30+ minutes - inserting a card would guarantee a kernel panic.
    This is with the adapter continually plugged in. Was that my mistake? Is it required to eject the adaptor when done with a series of cards, then reinsert it (and restart) when beginning the offloading process again?
    I'm guessing this is just me overlooking an understood aspect of the workflow, rather than me bumping into some brand new issue...

    Hey Hanumang,
    I too am having kernel panics using the latest (Penryn, Feb refresh) Macbook Pro and a duel system adapter. My kernel panics have been occuring during ingest/export when using P2CMS. Here is my set up:
    Penryn MBP
    OSX 10.5.2
    Quicktime 7.4.5
    FCP 5.1.4
    P2CMS 1.1.9 (latest)
    I have all the necessary drivers (no additional drivers are needed with Leopard and the Duel Adapter).
    My kernel panics are happening when I am ingesting/exporting using P2CMS after about 1gb of transfer. Here is my exact workflow:
    Shoot 720/24pn on an HVX to an 8gb card.
    Write protect 8gb card.
    While off, insert Duel Adapter to MBP.
    Boot MBP and insert P2 card into Duel Adapter, P2 card mounts fine.
    Launch P2CMS
    Select P2 card as the source
    Select all clips -> right click -> export to MBP hard drive.
    After about 1gb of transfer, I get a kernel panic, 5 times out of 5.
    Notes: No issues with the Duel Adapter when using a drag and drop method. No issues using above workflow using P2CMS and using the HVX and firewire to mount P2 cards. I only get kernel panics when using the Duel Adapter and P2CMS to ingest footage.

  • Power Problems - MacBook Pro

    My MacBook Pro is exhibiting power problems. I am running Yosemite and it seems that the problem may have arisen since I dowloaded this upgrade. When the battery is charged it shows 99% charge and I can use it on battery power. As normal with use the charge gradually reduces, say to 30%. I then switch off using either the on/off button/apple logo, waiting for the dialogue box, " do you want to switch off etc". The next day, I switch on, but the computer will only boot up when the power lead is attached. When the computer comes on, usually as normal, the charge always shows 0%. When it is recharged the whole process repeats itself. Help please.

    Howdy rcoo26,
    It sounds like there’s an issue turning your MacBook Pro on when it isn’t connected to power, and the battery doesn’t seem to be holding a charge. The article below provides information that can help you troubleshoot the battery in your notebook.

  • Trying to pick enough power in Macbook Pro but need to conserve on cost

    There are so many flavors to pick from. Not just Vanilla. Basically I guess there are 2 main variations. Core2Duo and Core i3/5/7 series. Looks like the Core2Duos officially support 4gb ram and unofficially 6gb while the Core I-series support up to 8gb?
    You can always upgrade ram and hard drives so not worried on initially what mine comes with. I'd like to be as futureproof as possible, but do I need one that will hold 8gb? Also there's bus speed, etc, etc. So many specs.
    I anticipate I will be doing mostly things on Internet. Web browsing, online radio, maybe some YouTube videos though much less.
    So whether to go with a Core2Duo system or an I-series? Help!

    And that $129 will get you a much longer-lasting battery than the $129 battery for my older MacBook Pro. That's what Apple gained by replacing all of the protective battery shell and latches with additional battery cells. It's not that hard to replace the unibody battery; if it fails under warranty, just have Apple replace it and if it fails after the warranty runs out, just buy one and replace it yourself. It actually isn't very hard.

    As for your purchase in general, the uses you talked about are definitely within the Core 2 Duo's power. That's why I still use my "old" Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro with no complaints. Getting the i5 is merely for longevity, not because it will improve your experience any, but since you do want it to last a while the i5 seems like a good choice.

  • My MacBook Pro will not turn on, bought a new charge still no power, My MacBook Pro will not turn on, bought a new charge still no power

    My MacBook pro will not turn on bought a new charger and it still will not turn on

    Then your problem isn't with the charger/adapter. Which model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011")?
    It's likely that you'd be best served by taking your machine into your local Apple Store or AASP and having the Apple techs run diagnostics. The diagnosis and estimate to repair should be free.

  • After a power cut macbook pro won't backup to time capsule

    The power supply was interupted for a few hours and since then every time my macbook pro attempts to connect via wifi I get the following message, "Time machine could not complete the backup. The backup disc image '/Voloumes/Data/Iain Watson's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle' could not be accessed (error1)"
    I have tried to back up using ethernet cable again and the same message occurs.
    Can anyone advise me what to do?
    thanks,

    Just a reboot of the network.. bad power can cause things to lock up.
    Start in correct order.. modem .. TC .. Clients. 2min gap.. this is assuming the simplest possible setup.

    Just a final question about Sleep mode - does this have any negative effects on the life or performance of the laptop? I'm so used to Shutting down the laptop each day that I worry about Sleep mode having some sort of drain on the components or something.
    There are only two practical differences between Sleep and Shut Down:
    1. Sleep will wake instantly, so you don't have to wait for startup.
    2. Sleep will drain a new, fully charged battery after several days without being woken or plugged in. If you shut down, the battery charge lasts much longer. Obviously, if you only sleep it overnight, you'll still have plenty of battery left in the morning.
    Don't sleep it more frequently than necessary, though. Frequently turning the backlight and hard drive off and on can shorten their life. Just do what's reasonable. I usually leave mine awake until I have to transport it in a bag, along with sleeping it overnight. On battery, I'll sleep it more often to preserve battery.

  • Power up Macbook Pro with 23" Cinema Display without opening Laptop lid?

    Hi there,
    I've just bought an Apple 23" Cinema display to use with my Macbook Pro.
    I just have a quick question for working this setup. I'd like work with just the 23" display in use (i.e. laptop lid closed, due to desk space), but can't figure out how to turn on the Macbook Pro without opening the lid to the laptop for the power button!
    This may sound like a silly question and I may be overlooking something as I've only had the setup for a hour, but it'd be a major pain in the ar*e if I had to open the laptop to turn it on every day, then close the lid again (and possibly go through the 'Are you sure you want to go into sleep mode...' process each time).
    Can I avoid opening the laptop when connected to the 23" display? There is a power button on the display, but it only seems to put the Mac into sleep mode when it's already on, i.e. it didn't seem to work when I tried to use it to turn the Mac on from being off.
    Thanks for any advice on this.

  • Power On MacBook Pro from Apple Keyboard

    I use my MacBook Pro closed and connected to an Apple 23" Display placed on top of the MacBook Pro on a stand and with an Apple Slim Keyboard + Mouse. Is there a way to turn on the computer without having to move to display to open the MacBook Pro to access the start up button?
    Thanks,
    Francesco Tonelli

    No. The USB bus is not powered when the MBP is off, so there's no way to use that to turn on the computer. Instead, don't shut it down, just put it to sleep - then, a keypress on the external keyboard will wake the MBP. There's no need to shut down - personally, I never do, just let it sleep. I only reboot when required to by a Software Update.

  • Provide USB port power during Macbook Pro Sleep mode

    My old Macbook used to go to sleep, with lid closed, and charge my phone via USB cable.
    With my i7 2010 15" Macbook pro however, I cannot see how to configure this same feature. Basically when the lid closes, the unit goes to sleep, including the USB ports.
    In order to charge my phone, I am forced to leave the computer on.
    This seems like a giant step backward for a traveler like myself, one of the main reasons I made the investment in the new Macbook Pro was for the great new battery life.

    I have the same problem. This was working, but it seems that after the last security update all USB ports are turned off completely, so my iPhone and iPad (both of which I leave connected to the USB ports) do not get charged. This is a big deal with my iPhone.
    Is there a configuration parameter on my MBP I should check?
    Thanks!
