Will using an 85w charger on my 2007 Black Macbook (came with 60w) hurt it?
My macbook was made for a 60w magsafe charger, but it burned out, and I am using a spare 85w charger, made for the Macbook Pro. Will this reduce the life of the macbook, or hurt it in any other way?
Thanks
No, it will not hurt it. I did this for my 2006 black Macbook a year or so ago. No problems whatsoever. The smarts in the battery and computer will not let the battery overcharge.

Can I use the power cord (30-pin and USB) that came with iPad 2 to charge it in my car's USB port? Or do I need to purchase one of those cigarette lighter charging devices? Thanks!
You'd have to read your car manual but chances are it won't put out enough power for the iPad. The car is likely set up to charge a phone, most of which typically want half the power an iPad wants.
I think your options are to get a cigarette lighter looking charger, making sure it's powerful enough for an iPad...or you can get power inverters for about $25, where they plug into the cigarette lighter/power point and have a normal household type outlet on the other end. Then you'd just plug your charger in like you would at home.
Another option would be to look for something like a Zagg Sparq, which is a battery operated charger...plug the Sparq into the outlet at home. Its battery holds a charge and you can use that to charge your device. (zagg isn't the only manufacturer of such a device, Targus has one as well). Just look for portable chargers.
The key to remember is to make sure it's rated for an iPad, which will want more power than a cell phone. -

My macbook came with snow leopard, if I upgrade to Lion will I be able to use my restore disks in the future and if I do use my disks that brings me back to snow leopard, Will itunes remember I purchased Lion or will I have to purchase a second time ?
At this point, you can no longer download Lion (10.7) from the App Store, only Mountain Lion (10.8) - make sure all your applications are fully compatible if you decide to upgrade.
Yes, you can restore 10.6 using your restore disc should you wish to - and the App Store (not ITunes) will have a record of all your purchases, since it's linked to your AppleId.

Will my iPhone 4 charging adaptor (output 5v, 2.1a) work with my iPhone 5? The adaptor that comes with the iPhone 5 has an output of 5v, 1a. I am concerned that the output is too high for the 5.
It will work fine. The iPhone will only draw the power it wants.

Can i use my blackberry charger (output 5.0v and 0.5a) with my 30gb ipod?
can i use my blackberry charger (output 5.0v and 0.5a) with my 30gb ipod?
The Blackberry has a charging lead, one end of which fits into the Blacberry, with the other ending in a USB attachment which fits into your pc. Likewise the iPod USB charging cable. Blackberry also provide a charger which fits into a 3 pin power socket, and a connection into which the USB connector of either the Blackberry or iPod cable fits. My question is whether you can safely plug the iPod USB cable into this charger (which has a dc output of 5 volts and 0.5 amps) in order to charge the iPod?

How to get OS X LION to clean install on late 2007 Black MacBOOK 1.3?
I recently bought a late 2007 Black MacBOOK 1.3.
Wanting to clean install LION, I formated the HDD and cleaned up the recovery partition by fusioning the two partitions!
I had to install LION with the use of a friends account.
This doesn't suit me because if I need something i'm depending of that friend.
Since LION is gone from the APP STORE (at least i'm not able to find it) i'd like to know how can I get it in a legal way to be able, if needed, to do a fresh install of Lion?
Thanks in advanceApple Phone Sales 1-800-692-7753

If I do a full system restore on my MBP will i get ilife off of the boot disks that came with the computer.
Hi on my MBP i am going to restore it.
It came with iLife will this be on the boot disks?
ThanksIf your computer shipped with Snow Leopard, that means it shipped with two disks: an Install disk that contains the OS, and an applications disk that contains the iLife suite. You would use the applications disk to reinstall iLife.

I have a 2007 black MacBook and upgraded the HD to 500gb. Now the processor lags. Any suggestions?
Assume you haven't filled up your new hard drive, so it should have plenty of space. You didn't say what you're running when it lags, however, hard to connect new hard drive to causing processor lags. See this FAQ on OS X performance to see what can help.

I cannot change settings or preferences.
When itunes opens it's only music. I can only chose album, artist, songs etc. There is no tab for settings or editing. I plug my iphone in and it syncs all my computer photos onto my phone. I want to change this.
