Where to get an extra power cord for Macbook Pro

I purchased an additional 85w Mag Safe power adapter for my Macbook Pro assuming it would come with both the adapter and the extension cord. However, I only received the adapter with the cable that attaches to the computer. After researching this item it seems that the extension cord is not available, either with or separate from the adapter. This cord was included with the adapter in the new computer box. Does anyone know how/where I can obtain this extension cord to use with my second adapter?

My adaptor fried itself in under six months and apple charged me $105 for the replacement. I was so disappointed that they charged me. Thought everything was warranteed.
Amy-
I've had my MBPro for almost four months (love it. A few days ago, I thought I noticed the green light dimmer than usual. It continued to dim for 36-48 hours until it finally disappeared. No amber, either. I can use the machine on AC power, but the battery will not charge (it's at 82%, period). I tried everything first: reset SMC, reset PMU, safe mode. No luck.
Called Apple Tech Support yesterday (Sunday), explained the situation, and after very few questions the Rep said they'd ship me a replacement AC adapter & cord via FedEx Overnight (arriving Tuesday). He said a prepaid FedEx shipping label will be included so I can return the failed unit.
NOTE: I do NOT have Extended AppleCare (i.e., my 90-days of free telephone support has expired). But because this is a hardware problem, it is covered under a 1-year warranty on hardware.
Something's not right, Amy. Definitely call Apple Support (800-275-2273 in the US) - report my experience if you wish - and ask them why your case was any different than mine (it wasn't). (I wonder ... Was it an Apple Store that made the original "you have to pay" decision? Maybe someone just didn't understand all the terms of the warranty?)
Hope this helps.
Good luck,
Ken

  • Damaged power cord for macbook pro?

    My power cord is damaged at the point that it plugs into the little white box. I looked in the store to find the power cord but didn't see it. Does anyone know if they sell this cord separately? It is no longer charging and soon my computer will be down.

    While not as pretty you can simply use a standard electroncis C8 cable like the one that goes to your VCR (or other) device. Otherwise, you can also use the plug adapter that came in your box although it won't give the same length as the cable does.
    If you do want to spend the extra money to replace it you should be able to get it from an authorised service centre as a service part else from a parts relaeeler like PB Parts…

  • Partial power cord for MacBook Pro?

    I have a broken power cord on a MacBook Pro 13-inch early 2011 model. Is there a way to buy the part of the cord that attaches to the computer without shelling out $79 for the whole thing with the power block?

    They are for sale on eBay.
    But how do you propose to connect it? The connections are inside the power block, which is glued shut. There is no simple plug, these cords require soldering.
    Is the cord at the computer-end frayed? it might be replaced as a safety issue if frayed.

  • Power Cord for Macbook Pro 5.1

    I have a Macbook Pro 5.1 that I bought in 2009. My powercord just broke. Can you tell me which kind of power cord I need? 60W or 85 W? Is there anything else I need to know about buying one - I am just getting it from apple.

    If it's the 15" October 2008 (2.4/2.53/2.8 GHz) March 2009 (2.66/2.93 GHz) then you will need the 85W.

  • What's the power Adapter for Macbook pro 13inch Mid 2012

    What's the power Adapter for Macbook pro 13inch Mid 2012 with core i-7, 2.9ghz, 8Gb ram?
    AFAIK it should be a 60wat Megasafe power adapter.
    But mine shipped with a 45Watt Megasafe. I got it as a Gift from my friend.
    Thanks in Advance.

    60W MagSafe power adapter with "L" style connector
    This should be my Adapter right?
    Yes.
    There is a drawback in addition to taking a longer time to charge up your MBP.  In unusual instances when using your MBP with power adapter attached, and running a very heavy load on the CPU/GPU, the MBP will require additional electrical resources in addition to what the power adapter can provide.  It will then draw upon the battery.  What this means is that using a 45 watt adapter, these conditions are more likely to occur.
    Using a 45 watt adapter should not harm your MBP as such.

  • Where can i buy a Power cord for my iMac in Perú?

    I need it to turn on my iMac.
    I live now in Perú.

    You might be able to find a power cord with the correct plug for Peru in the Apple Store covering that area of the world.
    However you do not need to get a new power cord you can get a plug adapter to go from the plug that is on the cord to the receptacle in the wall. Any good electronics store or even a store that handles items for travelers should have one.
    Note you do not need any sort of power  or electrical converter you only need to change the shape of the plug. The power supply in the Mac is universal.

  • Anyone know where I can buy the power cord for intel imac

    i lost the power wire to my imac and i don't know  where to buy it
    anyone know where can I get it  and how much it costs?

    Newer iMacs use ordinary computer power cords commonly used on all sorts of electronic equipment.
    The power cord used on G5 iMacs (I think) is different but is also readily available. Either one will cost you less than $10.

  • Where can I find a power cord for a 2001 "Flower Power" iMac?

    I have a 2001 "Flower Power" iMac. I am trying to find a power cord so that I can determine if this computer still works. I haven't been able to locate a source for this 12 year old item.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    I can't find a good picture of the power socket on the Flower Power iMac, but my Graphite iMac definitely uses the C13 cord John speaks of (we ususally just call these cords "standard business machine power cords..." i.e. http://www.kordking.com/products/power-cords/business-machine.php ).  They can be found mating and reproducing in dark closets and drawers.  I have so many that I regularly throw them away.

  • Where to buy a 2m power cord for Apple TV And Mac mini?

    As question above. Normal figure of 8 power cords don't fit! Need a mains power extension to both Mac mini and Apple TV of at least 2m.
    Thanks

    The connector used on the Mac mini is as you say a figure of 8, the official designation being IEC C7.
    It is my experience standard C7 power leads work with no problems, see the following as an example one I believe meets your requirements, a 2M one is also available on Amazon.
    See http://www.amazon.co.uk/Guilty-Gadgets-®-Projector-receiver/dp/B00D1FCKI6/

  • Is it possible to fix the cable of the Power Adapter for MacBook Pro?

    The cable of my power adaptor for my Macbook pro is broken, but the adatpor itself is fine, so I am wondering if it possible to replace that cable.

    Where's it broken?
    If you have enough space between the connector and/or the case.
    Here's one of mine that I repaired:
    There's only 2 conductors in there. One acts as a shield.
    So 3 pieces of shrink tubing. Prepare the conductors so you can proceed as follows.
    Solder the inner conductor together.
    Slide one piece of shrink tubing to down to cover that splice completely - shrink.
    Solder the outer shield together.
    Cover w/ the second piece of shrink tubing - shrink.
    Cover the entire repair w/ shrink tubing - shrink.
