Travel adaptor for Macbook with magsafe connector?

Has anyone found anyone that sells a aircraft travel adaptor for the Macbook?
Kensington do one for the old iBook but a magsafe connector version has not appeared.
Hopefully this is not becasue Apple have patented the design of the magsafe connector and are not letting anyone else produce them.
If this is indeed the case, and Apple don't produce their own travel adapter, I will be quite cross as the whole point of having a laptop is so you can take it with you when you are travelling.
If the voltages for the iBook are the same as the Macbook how about producing an iBook to Magsafe adapter so we can use the 3rd party travel adapters?

I just checked and the prongs on my MB adapter are exactly the same as the ones on my iPod power adapter. They should work just fine.
From a manufacturing standpoint, it makes no sense to have two different products for the same exact job.

    Is there an SDXC adaptor for Macbook Air 11

    For computers without a built-in camera card reader, you can purchase one for use
    with a USB port. So long as the adapter is qualified for use with SDXC, it should work.
    Good luck!

  • Third party power adaptor for MacBook Pro?

    I am about to lose my second power pack due to under-engineered wiring on these Apple power supplies. The wires are very small and thin, and the strain relief at the entrance to the "brick" is totally inadequate, so the wires end up breaking under daily use. I looked at the iGo website, only to find out that there is some sort of licensing issue with Apple that prevents them from selling tips for the magnetic connectors that are in vogue. Kensington apparently doesn't supply any Apple adaptors anymore.
    Does anyone know of a third party company that makes a replacement power supply that will hold up under normal usage for more than a year?
    Thanks

    Hi Justin,
    The very first of the square power adaptors (which came with an early white iBook) which we own developed a problem of the kind you mention. Since then we've done one simple thing with all of the many that have followed with a variety of iBooks, PBs, MBs and MBPs, and never lost another.
    We simply make a loose loop of the cord around one of the "legs" of the adaptor:
    We leave the loop in place both when using the computer and when winding the cord around the legs for transport.
    Not what you were asking for, I know, but it has certainly stopped any problems we have had with strain on the cord
    Cheers

  • IPad in bookbag with MagSafe connector, any risk?

    I own a MacBook Pro and an iPad, and I would like to place the laptop, charging cable, and iPad all in my book bag sometimes.
    Does the MagSafe connector pose any risk to the iPad due to it being a pretty powerful magnet?
    I'm not exactly rubbing the connector over the screen or anything, but it will be in close proximity.

    The magnets in the iPad 2 for the Smart Cover are more powerful than the ones on the MagSafe connector.
    So no, there is no risk.

  • Ethernet adaptor for MacBook

    While traveling internationally, I often run into hotels where wired Ethernet internet access is available in the room, but WiFi is available only in the lobby. 
    Is there an adaptor for the new MacBook Pro 15 retina that enables me to plug into a wired Ethernet?  Maybe it would be a dongle, similar to the iPad-->HDMI out adaptor...?
    Thank you!

  • Universal adaptor for OBIEE with JDEdwards as OLTP source

    Hi All,
    we are in the process of implementing OBIEE for procurement and spend analytics with JDE as OLTP source. As you knew this subject area doesnot come with adaptor for JD Edwards in the recent version.
    Does anyone having idea about creating a universal adaptor for this or any sample for this or any clue how to proceed for this?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Do you have Oracle BI Applications? If you look carefully in the DAC there are twee execution plans called "Procurement and Spend: Universal" and "Procurement and Spend Only: Universal", it seems to me that they could be helpfull for you. I'm also trying to figure out how to use the universal adaptors for HRMS.

  • Best SSD for MacBook with a twist...

    Hi all,
    This is my first post in this forum, so hello.
    I would like to get a SSD for my MacBook with a fairly decent amount of storage 60GB would be tight, 80GB would be fine, 120GB would be nice. I am not concerned about speed! As long as it's as fast as my 5400rpm stock HD, I really don't care.
    What I do care about are these controller issues I've been hearing about. JMicron? I've been thinking about a OCZ Solid Series 120GB for $230, or an Intel X-25M 80GB for $290.
    So my question is what is the best SSD to buy for size and stabilitiy, and not speed.

    Go for Intel or Samsung if you can. Both players are also supplying many other brands. These 2 guys control the supply chain and the know-how.
    So far, I'm happy with my kingspec in my MBA. Samsung in my Sony. Intel X25-M in my pc.

    Thank you for the response.
    I downloaded it and it keeps telling me "No Scanner Detected." I looked on their website under supported scanners, found my Microtek ScanMaker 3600 and it says "NO" for Mac.

    I just sent an email to them asking if VueScan does support a my scanner. I hope it does. I have been searching but am not proficient or know enough of what to look for. I just don't want to have to buy another scanner.

  • Is there usb to firewire adaptor for macbook air

    I have macbook air and want to connect my lacie drive via firewire but dont have a firewire port.  can you connect via a usb to firewire adaptor?

    Going down such as Thunderbolt to Firewire might be an option, but best bet for that is probably going to be Apple...Thunderbolt is an Apple invention.
    Sonnett makes really great products, I put one of their G4 processor cards, when you could still do that, into my PPC Mac and changed it from a 604e processor to a G4.  Worked flawlessly.  Their products are very likely to do exactly as advertised.
    Speed of connection goes: USB, Firewire 400, Firewire 800, Thunderbolt.  Unfortunately there are not very many Thunderbolt drives on the market at this point.  Too new technology.

  • Can I use a Macbook power adaptor for MacBook Pro ?

    Hi,
    Is its safe to use a power adaptor from a Macbook (white), to charge my Macbook Pro.
    The difference is in the output of the adaptors: 3.65A (Macbook) vs. 4.56A (Macbook Pro).
    Thanks,
    Ori

    In the past, I had an IBM Thinkpad laptop, when my adapter broke, I borrowed an adapter from a colleague. This adapter also had a lower capacity than the original adapter (I don't remember by how much).
    It ran really hot but the Thinkpad would run fine on it, though it would only charge the battery if I turned it off... So either charging the battery or working with the laptop...
    I'd say use it until you get the chance to buy a new one...

  • Travel Charger for MacBook

    Hi,
    I'll be traveling out of the country in a few weeks and I'm looking for a travel charger that can recharge the battery while it's not in the MacBook (I have 2 batteries, so I would like to use the laptop while the other battery is charging).
    Does such a product exist?

  • 5400rpm or 7200rpm for Macbook with leopard?

    I am getting a good deal on Samsung's 250GB 5400rpm drive but I hear some people say 5400rpm is not good for leopard and is slow. But some folks also say 7200rpm gets hot on macbooks and is noisy.
    So I am really confused and would like to know what other macbook users say about them. I would really appreciate your inputs. Thanks!

    there are always good and bad points to everything, in this case they are quite even...
    as the current macbooks ship with 5400rpm HDD's, this definitely isn't that slow, and if using your computer for every day use, the difference between 5400prm and 7200rpm will be almost indistinguishable, also the macbook air ships with a 4200rpm HDD apple obviously dont think this is too slow to be acceptable for normal use.
    Of course a newer 5400 RPM drive is going to have a faster transfer rate than an older 5400 RPM drive due to higher "areal desity" (how much data is capable of being stored per unit area) with newer platters.
    the good point for the 5400 HDD is that the battery can last longer, because the disk moves slower therefore consuming less power.
    I heard maybe a .5 watt typical difference with the latest drives of both types. Might mean a few more minutes battery life, but about the power usage of a USB device like a mouse or flash drive. I think just dimming the display would make a bigger difference. In addition, new drives are generally more efficient and a new 7200 RPM drive might have about the same power consumption as an older 5400 RPM drive.
    the bad point mainly made for the 7200 HDD is the battery life, which can be significantly reduced, but the good point is that leopard and other programs will run faster...
    The way I saw it was that it wouldn't really matter with me since my MacBook mostly sits on the coffee table plugged into the power adapter.
    so, its your choice, speed over battery...
    unless you are going to be using a lot of high powered programs the 5400 rpm HDD should be more than adequate
    Certainly nothing wrong with it. I just put in a 7200 RPM drive to see if I could.

  • Is there an adaptor for MacBook Pro so that it may be charged in a charging cart?

    We have a charging cart for our iPads, and about half of the ports are free.  Wondering if there is any way to charge our MacBooks in the same cart?  (rather than have them scattered throughout the room...and we do not have a 2nd cart for them)

    If you use a cart with adjustable dividers, and adjustable depth backstop, you can accomplish both tasks. I would suggest that you visit www.ipadcarts.com. Their Netvault cart can do both. If you call them, ask for Joe. We have found him to very knowledgeable and helpful.
