What charger do i need for my mid 2010 Macbook?

http://tinyurl.com/mdbj3vn <-- Would this one work? I'm having trouble finding one and most of the listings on Ebay say "for Macbook pro" in the title.. My charger is shorting out and I'm afraid it will die on me soon. Exactly what kind of charger do I need to be looking for?
Thank you.
By the way- my laptop is a 13 inch but I'm not sure of that matters

> listed as Macbook Pro on Ebay<
Typically the "L" shaped chargers were for the MacBook Pro but I've had no problem using them with the MacBook.
I think the only time you'd get into a problem is when you tried to use, say the 45 Watt charger on a machine that needs the 85 Watt charger or the 60 Watt charger.
Looking at all my chargers. We have 2 MBPs and two MacBooks. There are 3 A1184 chargers running the MB and 1 MBP and a 1344 running this MBP . All are 60 Watt.
The 45 W was for the MacBook Air.
That post from China reads:
>45W 60W 85W<
However if you look closely that charger says "45 Watts"! So that would be for the MBAir but it has a Magnasafe connector on it like a MBP.
Look here, this the charger they're selling:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2V51AW2594
and this post from Brian Caslis:
Danger using > 45-watt power adapter on MacBook Air?
" You would not use a 45W adapter with that computer; it would not provide enough power for that MacBook."
So then NO.

What is the maximum temperature for a mid 2010 MacBook?

I need to know the maximum running temperature for my mid 2010 (white unibody) MacBook. And at what temperature should I shut it down? I'm also curious if I should turn up the speed of my fans and what speed I should set them at. Thanks for everyones support!
It would also be great if someone could provide a link or tell me where they found the info because I want to make sure it is official, I couldn't seem to find it on Apple's technical specs nor google.

MacBooks are designed to shut themselves down if they reach a temperature above which they should not operate. It also controls its own fans, you should not mess with that. I don't know what that temperature is. If your MacBook is running too hot you may want to try resetting the System Management Controller, which is a good first step for all sorts of power related issues.
Best of luck.

Should I put the new SSD drive in main HDD bay or the Superdrive/Optical bay for a Mid-2010 Macbook Pro?

Hello All,
I'm considering getting a new SSD drive to add on to my Mid-2010 Macbook Pro (13 inches, unibody), and wondering which one of the following two options I should really adapt:
(1) Replace the original OEM hard drive in the main bay with the new SSD drive, and then remove the Superdrive (or the optical CD drive) and to be fitted into an external enclosure for using it externally in the future, and then relocate the original OEM hard drive into the Superdrive position, so both the new SSD (preferably for running the OS and system files) and the old OEM hard drive (for storing media and documents for example) could be used; and
(2) Keep the original OEM hard drive in place in the main drive, and buy a superdrive/optical drive caddy to goes with the new SSD drive, and together place the new SSD drive fitted inside the caddy into the position of the Superdrive/Optical CD drive, and configure the boot preference to be booting from the Superdrive/Optical Drive (which is now the SSD drive with OS and system files);
I've done some researches and some suggested that option (2) is better approach for at least two reason: (a) the MBP main drive come with some sort of shock proof sensor, so placing the original optical hard drive in the main is better than placing it in the super/optical drive where there is NO shock sensing feature provided, and placing SSD in the super/optical drive, one doesn't really have to worry so much about shocks; and (b) as during the process of shutting down the MBP, for optical hard drive, some power will sometimes needed to finally spin down the drive, but if such optical hard drive is place in the superdrive, the power maybe cut off right away when MBP shut down, which may cause issue to the optical hard drive in a long run as it never properly spin it down.
Then the main concern is that, if I adapt option (2) above, placing SSD in the super/optical drive bay and install and running the OS from there, will it decrease the performance (i.e. speed, latency, and etc.) as if i was to put the new SSD in the main drive?
Also, any suggestions with respect to Samsung 840 EVO vs. Samsung 850 EVO (250GB)? any well-rated HD caddy aside from OWC for moving the main HDD to optical CD bay? and perhaps an external enclosure for the Superdrive? Thanks in advance for any comment and/or suggestion.
- Jack

Could you provide some rationale(s) behind it? As far as I know, the mid 2010 Macbook Pro, the HDD is running via the SATA interface at running at 3.0 Gb/s, which is SATA II, and the Super-drive and/or the Optical drive, which is also running via SATA II interface, so I would assume the performance (i.e. primarily in speed) would be similar if not the same by placing the SSD drive in either one of the two places.
Also, wouldn't it be better by placing the SSD in the optical so the OEM HDD could be kept in the original main bay since it has the shock-sensing feature there?

Planning to upgrade to 8GB of RAM. Which is my best option for my Mid-2010 MacBook white (model 7,1)?

Macbook white (MID 2010)
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo,
2 GB 1067 MHz DDR 3 (Wanted to upgrade to 8GB)
Just upgraded to iOS 10.7.5 from snow leopard.
Reason for upgrade: Since the OS was upgraded, all process seems to be slower than before.

According to mactracker.ca database (among other) your mid-2010 MacBook white
can use a bit more RAM and likely worth at least 8GB, or more, upgrade for OS X.
And the computer also could be upgraded to Mavericks OS X 10.9.4, if desired.
Maximum Memory 16 GB (Actual) 4 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots 2 - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
•MacBook: How to remove or install memory
For a correct match for parts, you can see information on the Model Identifier and
build year series from crucial.com or macsales.com sites; these offer quality RAM
and upgrades, if you match the parts with your model exactly & correctly.
OWC (macsales) also has fair SSD options, with good technologies, if needed.
Matching sets of RAM tend to do best, and be wary of similar numbered parts that
are not correct; some cheap low-spec PCs use those and don't know any better.
PS: concerning issues with slowness, there is a performance guide among other
Tech Guides here: http://www.thesafemac.com/tech-guides/ also, the basic issue
with a too full hard disk drive, and other saved content that may be best saved to
an externally enclosed hard disk drive, as an accessible archive, is recommended.
An all new installation can be helpful, too. If you have unused old applications or any
anti-virus, remove them. Check the adware removal guide, and other info there.
Good luck & happy computing!

Need an SSD for a mid 2010 MacBook Pro...

My HDD suddenly died on me! No warning. It's still spinning away, clicking away but totally dead. Not even showing up on any disk repair recovery programs, ***?.
Anyhoo, I need a new HDD and have decided to go with an SSD.
I have a mid 2010 15" 2.66 i7 MacBook Pro, and am wondering what SSD spec I need to be looking for.
I'm pretty sure that the new drive would need to be SATA II. Anything more would be over kill.
Other than this, any other considerations regarding compatability that I need to be aware of?
Thanks guys, for any pointers offered.

It depends on how much you're willing to spend. A ~250GB SSD will cost you around $400-500, depending on the make and type (SATA I vs SATA II). My minimum recommendation for any boot drive size is in the 80-120GB range (leaning toward the higher end of that), and these will cost between $100-$200 for an SSD. SATA II SSDs will be more expensive than SATA I versions, but the performance of the SATA I SSD will be well above the performance of an SATA II mechanical HDD.
These days, if you're up for it my recommendation is a ~120GB SSD replacement for the optical drive (there are several companies that sell brackets for holding 2.5-inch drives in the optical drive bay), which will allow you to use the SSD as a boot drive and the existing HDD as a storage drive. It's great on battery life and offers exceptional performance for the money.

What ram do I need for my mid 2012 '13 MacBook Air

Is it user replaceable?

It's not replaceable or upgradable by either customers or Apple. The only opportunity to increase its RAM is when configuring a model in the online Apple Store prior to buying it.

Can I use an additional external monitor for my mid-2010 MacBook?

I currently run my MacBook in clamshell mode with an external monitor, keyboard, etc. I have researched usb to VGA or DVI conversion kits but all of the sources seem outdated. I don't need HDMI because my sound output goes through my MiniPort Display, out through speakers connected to my primary monitor. I am aware that a usb connection will come with lag, but it isn't that big of a deal. Thank you for your help!

If I correctly understand you question: you have an external monitor, and you use your mac with lid closed (not a good idea at all if used for a long time, especially in warm/hot weather). Now, you want a second monitor connected via USB.
My small piece of advice is to use your MB with lid open and thus you have two monitors, beside this, you protect your mac by a proper ventilation, which is better when lid is open.

EFI update for the mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro?

Hi,
I was wondering if Apple enabled the Lion Internet Recovery feature for the Mid-2010 MacBook Pros in the new round of EFI updates released yesterday. I know that they already did this for the 13-inch weeks ago but I wanted to make sure they expanded support for the 15" inch and 17" inch model. My doubt arises from the fact that the EFI update is for the Early 2010 MacBook Pros which would technically be a Summer 2009 model, rather than the actual mid-2010 model which is the one that I have.
Thanks for the clarification.

I would agree. Actually, I am contemplating this possibility if Lion keeps annoying me with a bug in Safari where it tires to sandbox the GPU and then, crashes the whole web browser and computer. This iisue keeps happening even with the newest version of Safari v5.1.3 and the last time I encountered this issue occurred in a clean install of Lion v10.7.3 while writing an email on my gmail. Honestly, even though I love Lion and its features; it does not measure up to Snow Leopard's pinnacle of stability and compatibility. Besides the freezing issues I have experienced I also had an issue where my Mac would hang at shutdown and hang with a gray pinwheel (although this issue occurred only if I used the Mac OS X v10.7.0 installer, it has not appeared when installing Lion via the 10.7.2 installer, I am not sure about if the issue resurfaced in the latest installer as I had a hung shutdown when Safari froze and tried to shutdown my Mac, ultimately showing the dreaded gray pinwheel). Let's see what my Mac is up to in the following weeks, so far everything looks Ok and in the multiple visits to the Apple Store I have run hardware diagnostics in my MacBook Pro and all of the gave a clean bill of health to my machine. I can't afford to have the 8th clean install of Lion, therefore the next time Lion fails I will revert to Snow Leopard in a heart beat.

Mid-2010 MacBook Pro Safari/Graphics issue??

Hi. Below I've posted a picture of what I've been experiencing on my mid-2010 MacBook Pro that is running Mac OS X Lion (10.7.1).
Usually, my screen stays like that for a few seconds, then those little things go away. However, when I took the screenshot, my screen stayed like that for about 20 minutes. I've had this issue in both Safari and Firefox. Even updating to 10.7.1, this still happens.
What could possibly be wrong? Is it a bug with Lion or is my graphics card at fault?
I really appreciate your help! Thank you!!

jodifromcinnaminson,
nope — one reason why the cost of Apple products in the US is low compared to prices in other countries is that the prices in other countries often include seller’s warranties which extend beyond the manufacturer’s warranty; that’s not the case in the US.
If you’re intent on purchasing no more Apple products because of how they’d handled the 15-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro defect, then I’d highly recommend writing a letter to Apple explaining exactly why you’ve made that decision.

What kind of charger do I need for my macbook core 2 duo 2 ghz. I just bought one used that didn't come with a charger.

There's 8 different models of MacBooks that are 2.0Ghz. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion).When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.

Actually you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter. It will carry both audio and video.
