Power cord for Mac Book question...need some help

Hi...my Mom gave my niece her MacBook but kept the power cord. I bought one on eBay for her and it was a 60W MagSafe cord. She seems to be having power issues where it goes into rest mode while working on it and then takes a day or so to recover. Apple store checked it clean and installed Snow Leapord. Is it possible that she needs an 80W cable..I am not sure of the power requirements. Thanks

Have you tried a known-good Apple adapter with the machine?
I'd replace the adapter with one from Apple and see if the troubles persist.

  • Can I use 85 W power adapter for Mac Book AIR?

    I got a 85 W adapter (used for Mac Book Pro) for a Mac Book AIR. Can I continue to use the 85 W Power adapter instead of buying another 45 W one?

    Yes. The Macbook Air will only pull the max Wattage from the adapter as it's supposed to.

    Gary, you wouldn't believe some of the questions people ask on this site.
    Why are both cords necessary?
    They are not.
    Other than the two reasons dominic23 sited are there any other reasons to use the AC power cord rather than the power adapter cord alone?
    No.

  • AC power cord for Mac Classic

    i have an opportunity to get an old mac classic but the seller says it has not AC cord. is that easy to get somewhere or not worth the bother?
    thanks!

    I don't know if the Classic just takes a standard AC power cord. A rounded triangular sort, usually with three sockets that plugs into recesssed prongs on the back of the computer.
    If it's that kind it's been in use for several decades and you can pick up for very little money (I have about 20 in a box).

  • I'm a beginner of CS3 and a mac user, here I got a question need some help.

    Hi All Masters,
    I'm a beginner of CS3 and a mac user, here I got a question looking for some help.
    Does anyone know there's a work for editing the photo to painting styles such as watercolor painting, oil painting, pastel drawing, colored pencil or pencil sketching in Adobe serials ?
    If not, does anyone know any software offering these features,

    The best overall art styles plugin for PS is probably AlienSkin's SnapArt. I'd say their filters are a cut above Photoshop's which are old and have never been updated.

    That being said, the best painterly interpretations of photographs I've ever seen are done with Painter.
    http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1166553885783#tabview=tab0
    There is a basic version sort of like Photoshop Elements which is still better than Photoshop for artistically rendering photos into 'paintings.'

  • Will I be able to buy a protection plan for Mac book air in some other country (say Germany )if I buy it from other country ( say USA )?

    Will i be able to buy from other country ?

    It should be fine provided Netflix is available on AppleTV normally in Argentina - in the Settings menus there are a couple of location/country type settings - the unit has a universal power supply and apart from potentially a plug adapter for the power cord if needed it should work fine.
    AppleTv's are not region locked at all, you should be able to get all services available on an AppleTV sold in Argentina on one sold in Spain provided you configure the location info correctly.

  • Brand new to the Mac World and NEED SOME HELP with startup disk issues

    Hello everyone. I am a new Mac user and I purchased my mac on ebay. It's an iMac that came with tiger 10.4.11. I wanted to get a fresh start on the computer, since the person who had it before me did not erase all of his stuff. I didn't know what to do so I got a startup disk/install disk off ebay also. When I go to install it says "software cannot be installed on this computer." Before I bought the software, I had called the apple store and they said it should be fine to buy any install software to put on the computer. If I could get any help it would be appreciated. I had read previous threads that I should hold down c when I start up (didn't work) or that I should select archive or erase and install (I never got these options when I went to install).

    A warm welcome to the Discussions!
    What iMac is it? I only ask as the Retail Tiger CD/DVDs don't work on IntelMacs, only PPC, (G3, G4, G5 Macs).
    Sorry what you were told by the Apple Store, but if it's a Gray CD/DVD then it is Machine specific as Neil stated.
    Sooo, what exact iMac is it, and what does it say on the CD/DVD?

  • Quick question: need some help with a lens effect filter

    I'm playing with the iphone 8mm video cam app and they have this familar lens effect... as seen here
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkh7Ok8cQmw
    Would anyone know the name of this effect... it's almost like a hard pulsating vignette that you'd see in old 70's home films
    I wanted keep the video as clean as possible and use a plug-in or method to re-create that effect in post-production....

    Having done 8mm film transfers for over 20 years, I can say that I've NEVER seen the frame of the film jump like that vignette does. To me, it makes it look very fake. The rest of the effect looks OK; the image jitter, the light flicker, etc, but the vignette should be stable.
