Replacing the plastic cap on the magsafe power adapter

I really love the tiny plastic caps that Apple sticks on top of the magsafe power adaptors, but alas! I finally lost mine today and am wondering where I can find a replacement (or two, or three). I have had no luck searching online for a solution.
Please advise!
Thanks,
Michael

Just wondering whether anybody else who has lost the magsafe adapter's plastic cap knows where to track down a replacement. It seems like a common item to lose, yet I can't find a vendor, including Apple, that is selling replacements. I'm worried that the adapter might get dirty or ruined from exposure to dust and other particles.
Thanks for your help!

  • Why does it take me so many tries before I can get the amber and/ or green light to come on, on my MagSafe power adapter?

    I have been having a problem for a little while now, and I have decided to overlook it for the most part. However, it is really starting to get on my nerves. The issue I don't believe is with the MacBook Pro itself, however with the MagSafe power adapter. The adapter itself is in great condition, it is brand new, but when I attach it to the computer, the computer reads that it is there, as it shows it is charging or is charged as shown by the battery indicator in the top right of the OS X toolbar. However, the amber and/ or green light doesn't come on, right away - the first time - most of the time, on the adapter head itself. I usually have to unplug it and plug it back in multiple times before I get a light to come on. I have tried to clean the adapter itself, and the MagSafe port on the computer, but that seems to only help for a short amount of time, and it doesn't look real dirty, or like any pins are stuck on the adapter. I have also tried other outlets, but that doesn't seem to help, so I don't think I am getting dirty power.

    Unfortunately, it *could* be the computer. And it could be the adapter.  Aside from trying Resetting the System Management Controller there's not much you can do except taking it in for testing.

  • HT4124 can I keep the magsafe power adapter plugged in to computer all the time?

    Can I keep the magsafe power adapter plugged in to my computer from the power source at all times?

    it is ok to keep it in all the time, BUT at least once a month let it run the battery down to 10-15% then do a full recharge.

  • Hello, My white McBook (2008 or 2009) recently stopped turning on.  When I hook up the Magsafe power adapter, the light shows green, but the computer will not turn on, or make a sound.  I've tried the re-boot option, but nothing works.  Please advise!

    Hello,

  • 85w Magsafe Power Adapter Plastic cover

    THe 85w Magsafe Power adapter comes with a plastic protective cover for the magnetic DC connector . I lost mine. Does anyone know if Apple or anyone else sells it. Im just really bothered by it. Plus I dont want dust to accumulate on the magnetic DC connector.

    The magnet is in the MBP not in the connector on the AC adapter.
    i'm not really sure about that. I wish you could just answer my query and be helpful. Or correct me and at the same time offer a solution or answer to the question. That would really help. Don't post if you don't want to help.
    But for arguments sake. According to:
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=816 A0BD3&fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/power&nplm=MA938LL/A#overview
    "The 85 Watt MagSafe Power Adapter features a MAGNETIC DC CONNECTOR that ensures your power cable will disconnect if it experiences undue strain and helps prevent fraying or weakening of the cables over time. In addition, the MAGNETIC DC helps guide the plug into the system for a quick and secure connection.
    plus, this apple page:
    http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/design.html
    says that,
    "Innovative right down to the power cord._The MacBook Pro power adapter with MagSafe connector is just that: a magnetic connection instead of a physical one._"
    I dont know, maybe the mbp connector has a magnet also, but im very sure according to apple the 85w Magsafe adapter has a magnet.
    Anyway, it doesnt really matter to me where the magnet is. As long as it magnetically connects.

    You've posted to the iPhone forum rather than the Time Capsule forum, but to save you some time, you can either replace your D-Link with it since it is a wireless N router, or you can set it up on your LAN as an additional wifi router with its own unique SSID.  If you do the latter, be sure to connect your mac to the Time Capsule rather than your D-Link so it will support your Time Machine backups.

  • 60W MagSafe Power Adapter no longer working?

    Hi,
    I have the 2009 MacBook Pro and I recently have been having trouble with my MagSafe Power Adapter. I checked if it was just the cord that wasn't working properly, so I switched out the adapter and put in the extension cord instead, same issue. Then I checked to see if it was my battery in my MacBook and used a different charger, this one charged it. I checked with another MacBook and it didn't charge it as well. Anyone know if Apple Care takes care of this or I actually have Best Buy's Geek Squad coverage would this cover it?
    If anyone knows anyway to fix it it'd be greatly appreaciated because I don't want to buy the new MagSafe Power Adapter with the weird silver handle because in my experience those don't hold in as well as the old ones.

    Occasionally, the adapter does die out, so you've done everything to test it out, indicating it is gone. If you have the standard warranty, then you have a year from purchase, or three years if you purchased the extended AppleCare. I'm sure if you take it down to your local Apple store (bring your laptop with you), they'll diagnose it. And they probably have replacement adapters in stock.
    Don't know anything about the Best Buy thing. Given the strength of Apple's warranty and service, you may have overspent for their coverage.

  • Question about MagSafe Power Adapter

    I just got a new magsafe power adapter and wanted to know if leaving it connected to the electricity for too long damage it?
    Last question, my battery is dead, should I take it off andrun on the adapter, or just leave the battery on?
    A friend of mine told me tht "dead batteries" ruin power adapter?
    Thanks all

    I'm afraid you should buy a new battery, Frank.
    Running on the power adaptor alone will slow down your MBP. - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2332
    Running with a seriously defective battery installed, though, may not only place a heavy load on your adaptor but may result in the battery deforming (causing other damage) or worse.
    Leaving your adaptor plugged into the power when not being used probably won't hurt it, but it will use more electricity than a fluoro lightbulb.

  • I need help identifying which Magsafe Power Adapter I need for my Macbook Pro Model A1398, EMC 2673?

    I need help identifying which Magsafe Power Adapter I need for my Macbook Pro Model A1398, EMC 2673?

    Provided the computer-end fits, you are free to use one with a HIGHER Wattage rating. No damage whatsoever will be done to any component, but it will likely run cooler (but may be slightly heavier).
    If you use one with too LOW a Wattage rating, you will not be able to charge and run at the same time, and your computer's top speed (for its most intensive computations) will be limited.

  • Can you plug in your 60w magsafe power adapter to peru without harming it?

    Can you plug in your 60w magsafe power adapter to peru without harming it?

    Yes you will need a plug adapter, the power supply is rated for 100v-240v. Apple has a travel kit full of adapters you could also check the web for a particular one for your needs.

  • Can I used my New MBP13' with a 85W MagSafe Power Adapter

  • Which MagSafe Power Adapter?

    I have a MacBook Pro 5.4, 15" screen, purchased in 2009 I think. It came w. a 60W MagSafe Power Adapter. I want to purchase a 2nd power adapter for my alternate work site. I see that an 85W MagSafe is being specified for the 15" PowerBook Pro. Is the 60W one I have all right to use, and should I buy the second one as an 85W?

    What about using the 85W Mag Safe 2 Power Adapter (used on MacBook Pro) for my MacBook Air which comes with a 45W Mag Safe 2 Power Adapter? Is there a problem with that?

    Do a SMC Reset,

    A new machine shouldn't need one, but it's it's not charging that's the solution.
    All I can figure it sat on a shelf at Best Buy too long, they are closing 50 stores so I hear, so apparantly they haven't been busy like a Apple Store is and product flies off the shelves in pristine charged up like condiiton.

  • HT5234 how can you clean the magsafe power adapter cord?

    The white cord that is connected to the adapter and the L- tip power port is quite dirty and i was wondering if there is a way that your can clean it i tried scratching it with scissors, it works but im afraid that it will reack the cord is there any other way?

    That's mean i can't? Cause my power adapter was dead and i bought a new one today. So I should go to AppleCare then?
