YES OR NO: Can  I use a power charger from a Macbook on a Macbook Pro?

Simple as that.

The same qquestion has been asked hundreds of times earlier. Let's try it one more time. Although the power adapter is charging, the MBPro battery will discharge faster than it'll charge. Eventually, the MBPro will shut down, until the battery is charged. It's just that simple.

    Can I use a power cord from a Macbook air with a Macbook?

    No, the MacBook Air power adapter is a 45 watt. A MacBook needs at least a 60 watt power adapter although you can use a MacBook Pro 85 watt adapter. You can use a higher wattage adapter without any problems.

  • HT1476 Can i use wall power charger 5v 1A to charge Ipod touch5 or only via usb?

    Can i use wall power charger 5v 1A to charge Ipod touch5 or only via usb?

    5volt 1amp charger is standard for charging the iPod (5watts). Using a USB port can take longer because the charging current can be somewhat less than 1amp. So you are better off using the wall charger.

  • Can I use the power charger(85W T Connector) with MBP(17 inch 2010 mid)?

    Hi I have a MBP (17 inch 2010 mid). It uses a 85W L Connector. But today, it is not working anymore.  And I found a older charger 85W T Connector is work with it. But I want to make sure it will not break my batter when a long time usage. Does anyone know it?
    Thanks in advance.
    TO APPLE GUYS,
    Why the material of your cable has so bad quality? It seem easy to aging. Not only the Power charger, also with your earphone cable and other USB cable.

    Thanks. It can work. But the Apple serivce guys told me it make harm my battery. I don't know why. So I want to make sure at here.
    I just wish the apple guys could read it in their free time.

  • Imac G5, Can I use a power supply from a G4 Q-silver (rewired connector)?

    I've got a G5 Imac with a blown PS, and I'm thinking of modifying a G4 Quicksilver power supply for use as the power source for a 20" Imac G5. Yeah, I know it sounds a bit weird, but hey, I was given this Imac G5 (1st Gen. 1.8GHz) for free. It's missing the back cover, and the PS is shot. So if I blow it up it no major loss. It's a project!
    I have determined that the original PS is shot and needs to be replaced. I don't really want to drop $140 for a replacement PS, as I would also have purchase the back cover for another $40 + shipping. Go figure, right? It appears that most of those power suppies tend to fail early, anyway.
    During my checks of the Imac internals, I also noted that during the "power on" tests, using the old power supply, I would get the second indicator light on the motherboard to flash for just a moment. According to Apple, this indicates that the motherboard is probably good, and that the power supply is bad as it's only providing a momentary voltage spike during the start up faze, before the power drains from the PS. Then it quits. So I thought, is it possible to use the QS power supply, only modifying (rewire) the main 22 pin connector voltages so they match the Imac's pinout? Both connectors are 22 pin and most of the pinout voltages match up the same. There would appear to be only two major connectors that would need to be rewired. So can I use a modified QS power supply to power my Imac?
    A couple of extra notes about this Imac:
    1) There is no back or stand with this Imac, it just the main guts. So I would need to build a suitable enclosure to maintain proper air flow, and use the QS power supply outside the Imac. That wouldn't appear to be a big problem.
    2) My biggest concern is this. The QS power supply uses 28v for the start circuits, versus 24v for the G5 Imac PS. Would this make a significant difference, and if so, why? I'm assuming it will, but it an area I'm unsure of with the Imac. Any thoughts or experiance in this area here would be greatly appreciated.
    3) Hey, if worse comes to worse, I can always purchase the extra parts and rebuild the Imac for around $200-$300 US, and it would still be a deal (at least I think so). However, at present this is just a pet project, and if it goes south (doesn't work), it's not like I'm out some major $$$$.
    Thanks in advance!

    I have no idea whether your ideas would work, but go to xlr8yourmac.com for some ideas. If you decide to purchase parts, try [http://www.synaptech.com/catalog> and also look at [http://www.jimwarholic.com/2008/07/how-to-repair-apple-imac-g5.php] for tips.

  • Can I use a power cord from a 2007 iBook?

    I have extra power cords from my old iBook - I would keep one at home and one at work. It appears to fit the new 13" MacBook Pro. They are both made by CE and appear identical except for the 90º magnetic connector on the new model.They are both labeled: Input AC100-240v-50-60Hz 15A; Output 16.5v 3.65A ADP-60AD B
    I don't want to blow anything up...

    Actually I misspoke: the old laptop is an early generation white polycarbonate MacBook with the first Intel core duo. It does have a Magsafe, and I am asking if I can plug the entire cable from the old MacBook from the wall into the new MacBook Pro.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Can I use my sisters charger from france to charge my us iphone.

    Shouldn't be an issue. As far as I know all power bricks take world wide voltages.

  • Can I use my travel charger from older iPod on my new iPod touch?  110 charger it fits okay.

    Can I safety use a travel charger (110) from an older iPod, for my new iPod touch?

    Older iPods, i think up to the 4G iPods and iPod Mini allow Firewire & USB syncing and charging. (Except probably for the first generation iPod Classic"
    The iPhone 2G (and probably iPod Touch 1G and iPod Classic 5G) will allow Firewire charging (Not Syncing).
    Any iPhone from the iPhone 3G and newer (and also i guess iPod touch) will not charge from Firewire as far as i know.
    So if your older iPod has a USB charger (Nearly all iPods have USB to Dock port chargers/cables) then yes you can use it to charge any iPod touch or iPhone.

  • Can I use the power supply from a 1.83GHz CD mini with a new 2.53GHz mini?

    Because I'm too lazy to remove the old power supply, I just want to swap out my old mini for my new one.

    I did this for a month, for the same reason as you. Both power supplies are are 110 watts -- although you can double-check that, if you like.
    Eventually I did make the change, I guess because I didn't want to put "new wine in old skins".

  • Can I use the internal drives from my PPC on a mac pro for storage?

    Hi guys, I have a PPC dual G5 2.0 with 2 internal HD serial ATA (both). Im getting a mac pro today (mac pro 2.66 dual intel xenon) and I was wondering if I can use my drives in the new mac to have more space. Im not trying to have both osx 10.4 and 10.6 on the same machine, just storage. Also, do RAM memory will work?
    Thanks guys!

    If you check OWC, www.macsales.com you can get an idea of ram prices and internal hard drive prices for that machine.  OWC specializes in Macs and has an outstanding reputation for customer support.
    With terra byte drive prices down at $100 or so, it is hard to justify the older, smaller, slower drives...you will just get frustrated

  • MuVo2 (1,5G): Can I Use output power only (not install the battery) when I listen the mus

    Hi Sir:
    When I am in home and listen the music on MuVo2 ,can I use output power only (AC power) and remove the battery ( the battery is not in the MuVo2)?
    This is good to the MuVo2 or not ? (have any damange?)
    Because I always use the MuVo2 in my home, I think to charge AC into the battery, and use it until in low battery , then charge again.. It seem to a little stupid....
    Can I use AC(output power) only when I listen the music ? and remove the AC(output power) when I close/shut down the MuVo2 ? ( I know , the usermanual say it is not good to MuVo2 if AC(output power) "always on" the MuVo2 even it's shutdown.)
    I saw in the usermanual there will be a little image indicate the MuVo2 is "output power only".... So can I use output power only or not ? Is it good to MuVo2?
    Thanks a lot !!
    ( Your product is great~!)
    B/R, Richard

    Richard,
    Yes, you can use the player on the AC outlet only if you want, that's fine.

  • Can I use a Power PC non intel Mac Mini as an external HD with my iMac 3.06

    Can I use a Power PC non intel Mac Mini as an external HD with my iMac 3.06 Intel Core Duo
    I can't figure out how to get this to work. Is it possible?

    Will it work if I connect via usb instead of firewire?
    No. There is no "USB Target Disk Mode".
    Just so we're clear, when you start your Mac mini in FireWire Target Disk Mode (TDM - holding T on startup), do you see a FireWire icon on the Mac mini's display? IIRC, it's not required that the Mac mini be connected to a display for TDM, but it would help diagnose whether or not the mini is actually starting in this mode.
