Is there such a thing as a Magsafe 2 charging cable that can be used from a car's 12V power outlet (UK). This is for a 2015 MacBook Pro. Thanks

I have MacBook Pro late 2011. I decided to reset the SMC controller with the charger connected (not original, cheap). When I did the SMC reset, the MagSafe indication did not change. When I turned on the MacBook, the fans were running at full power, but MagSafe was burning red. Then I turned off the MacBook, turned off the charging and plugged it back in, but the charging indicator was no longer on MagSafe. The battery is not charging. What do I do in this situation?

Today’s post on MacRumors.com says: > Apple has not released any MagSafe cases for the iPhone 16e, but third-party cases are already starting to roll out. Is that really true? Are there any cases available that give an iPhone 16 SE MagSafe-like behavior in allowing a magnetic charger to snap into position? Or does “MagSafe case” merely mean it is compatible with the phone’s intrinsic magnetic field (which is lacking on all the SE iPhones)? ---------- I ask because I tried a couple of MagSafe cases for the iPhone SE third-generation that claimed to be MagSafe, but they had virtually no magnetism, if any at all.

I have four different old MacBooks, from 2008 to 2010. - 2008 MacBook - 2009 MacBook - 2009 MacBook Air - 2010 MacBook I have five chargers, all MagSafe 1. - 1x 45W - 3x 60W - 1x 85W All except the 45W are replacement ones, so the 45W is original. Now suddenly on the same moment two MacBooks (2008 and 2009 Air) lost their capability to charge. I unplugged the MacBook 2008 from charger for a two hour work and then went to plug it back in as it reached 10% as I have always done for last two years and it started charging (orange/green light), and when I placed the laptop down the table green light went off. I had swapped battery to it year ago and it was 100% healthy. So I did normal: - Replug couple times. - Clean the connectors with toothbrush and made sure those are clean. Nothing. So I took a MacBook Air from another room and plug it in the same charger and it was charging (it has as well replaced battery year ago). I re-plug the MacBook 2008 to same charger and nothing. Then I plugged charger back to MacBook Air and it was charging. And then couple seconds later charger light went off. I re-plug it, nothing. I connected it to MacBook 2008 and nothing. So did the charger die? I went to plug the MacBook Air to its own 45W charger and it was not charging. Rechecked the connectors for foreign objects and all were perfectly clean. I picked third MacBook (2010) and plugged it in to 45W charger, and it was charging. I plugged MacBook Air to it, not charging. I took the MacBook 2008 to 45W charger and it was not charging. But MacBook 2010 was charging. I went to plug MacBook Air to third (60W) charger and it was not charging. I connected the MacBook 2010 to it 3rd charger and it was charging. I brought from different location the MacBook 2009 and tried, it was charging on all chargers, same way as MacBook 2010 does. But the MacBook 2008 and MacBook Air does not charge on any charger. And now as I was writing this, the MacBook Air jumped alive as I left it on the charger for 2 hours just to try out. It had battery left 23% since last charging (been a week sleeping). It was not charging and I just heard suddenly the power-on tone as MacBook Air turned on (it always has turned on every time when it is plugged to charger, even when display is closed) I have tried SMC and PRAM reseting on the MacBook 2008 and MacBook Air and neither one reacted any means to it. I thought that the battery would have died suddenly on the same minute by charger outputting a peak power and shortcutting, but as now MacBook Air is charging for some reason (after trying so dozen times and kept long time before) I don't think it has battery problem as it only stopped charging but not running on battery. I am now very confused that what makes old Intel Core 2 Duo MacBooks to stop charging suddenly for no reason (or even to suddenly just revive after couple hours being connected)? Is there any other means to check does the charger input power than just opening the laptops again and start measuring? As the charger connectors has the small chip that will initiate the protocol for accepting charge, is there something to do overcome it? I already purchased two replacement Magsafe 1 cables to check if that would help in case, but as all chargers work on two other MacBooks, than on two.

I have connected my magsafe cable to a local input source (Something like below): It show power adapter is connected but battery is not charging. Can we do anything to make it charge from local power adaptors like these?

I recently bought a brand-new, genuine Magsafe 60W charger for my mid-2010 MBP (my previous charger died suddenly after months of extreme fraying). Within a few hours of using it, strange and bad things started to happen. First, the battery intermittently stopped charging despite an amber light. Then the light started dimming and flickering, and the connector started heating up a lot. Finally, it started completely failing to charge, with no light. However, I then discovered that if I *very carefully* hold the cord in certain positions and apply tiny amounts of force in various directions, it charges *completely fine*. I thought this might be a Magsafe port problem, so I replaced the Magsafe port, but the problem persists. I also tried resetting SMC many times to no avail. What could be the problem here? Is it more likely to be a charger problem or a logic board problem? One thing I did notice is that the pins don't quite seem to line up exactly with the connections in the port: they're offset sideways by 0.3mm or thereabouts. It's a long shot, but it might explain why the charger only works when pulled in a certain direction. Is this a known issue?

My Apple MagSafe 3 to USB-C cable frayed at the USB-C end, and doesn't charge. Should I just electrical tape it or get a new cable off Amazon? This is a school charger, and I don't wan to pay the ~$100 to get it replaced for a small fray.

Tried searching through Amazon, but I don't seem to be able to find third suppliers of MagSafe 3 accessories. Things like USB-C to MagSafe 3 cables, USB-C to MagSafe 3 adapters.

My MacBook Pro currently runs on macOS 13.6.2. I purchased the machine new about 9-10 months ago. It came with "Optimized Battery Charging" enabled (by default) - a feature I was glad to see added. And so my questions is this: Why has "Optimized Battery Charging" stopped working?

I ordered a MagSafe 2 power adapter before realizing my MacBook Pro uses the Original MagSafe. After looking at both connectors, it appears the MagSafe 2 connector would fit the MagSafe power port if it were filed down on the edges a bit. I'm concerned the power delivery would not match what the computer can handle, and I don't really want to go through returning and buying a new power adapter. Likewise, I wouldn't want to destroy both the adapter and the computer at one go. Does anyone know the specs – whether these two are "electrically compatible?"

In the last couple of weeks, I've noticed my charger connector (the part which connects to Mac) is too hot to touch and also there are some pins a bit burnt (it is happening slowly but getting visibly worse). Charging ability is unchanged but I really like this machine, otherwise, it is working fine. I have tried to clean the patches. It is extremely hot only when not fully charged when fully charged it is normal. What could I do? I guess it is not exactly harmless for the machine.

Is the USBC port supposed to charge normally? I have never made it work properly. I have tried all kinds of different chargers and cable combinations. At best its plugged in and not charging or charging slower than discharging. Oddly, even a USBC cable directly connected to the megsafe brick is not working. I even bought a "high performance 120W" cable, that shows me the wattage and it always shows just a couple of watts at best.

What happens if, on a MacBook Pro 16" M3 2023, **both** MagSafe **and** a Thunderbolt Dock, such as the CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 Dock, which delivers 98W (might not enough if the MacBook is used heavily as the MagSafe Pmax=140W) are plugged in? Will one of the two power inputs be ignored? Is this safe?

I have a MacBook I bought in 2007 and the charger recently died on me. (I'm assuming the computer itself is still working). I did some research and ordered from Amazon a Magsafe1 60W charger, but when it arrived the connecter is too large for the port. Any ideas what the correct charger should be? These are the details of the MacBook, purchased in Aug 2007 - 13-inch MacBook (White) - 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - Part Number: MB062 - Keyboard (English) & Mac OS (English) Country kit - 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - SuperDrive 8x (DVD +R DL/DVD RW/CD-RW) - 1GB 667 DDR2 - 2x512MB SO-DIMMs - 120GB Serial ATA drive (5400rpm)

This a brand new adapter from Apple store, there's a green light leakage from the cable at the magsafe 2 head, is this normal or it's faulty? It's from UAE apple store and a friend got me the adapter sealed to Egypt so I can't go to apple store right away and replace it unless the friend take it again to UAE. Sorry for being paranoid, I had terrible stories with repair shops in Egypt which ruined and burnt my previous adapter. P.S. why not buying from Egypt? No apple stores and it costs 3x its price. I added the Other picture because someone told me on other forum it's scratched not brand new while it was only a residue from the plastic wrap! So it's the same but with flash and the leak is barely visible. Thank you

Will there be a converter available for connecting one of the old MagSafe or MagSafe 2 power adaptor to the new MagSafe 3 port which is present in the newly released MacBook Pros? I haven't been able to find any yet. Apple did release such a connector for converting between MagSafe and MagSafe 2: > MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter > https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD504LL/A/magsafe-to-magsafe-2-converter

I have a M1 Max MBP, macOS Sonoma 14.1.1. The MagSafe works erratically, that is, when I connect it to the laptop it might immediately show signs (light/sound) that the battery is charging, or it might take a few tries (nothing happens when I connect). The connectors are clean, so I am not sure what is going on. EDIT: the battery seems to be ok

My MacBook charger won't magnetise properly anymore. I took a look at the ports and one of the little gold things are burnt, and the same one on my MacBook. I tested my old charging cable that broke and it still magnetises so it isn't specifically the Mac book. Is there any way I can fix this? Or find someone to replace the cable with my older, perfectly fine cable? I'm a student so I really need my laptop.

I was trying to replace the charging wire for MagSafe 2 but I accidentally short the circuit which cause 3 resistors and 1 capacitor burned. According to the number recognizable, I guess the biggest resistor is 0.27 Ω(R270). the second big one is 200 Ω(2000), the smallest one not quite sure but it looks like "4R7" to me, if yes, then it is 4.7 Ω. The problem is the capacitor, it has exploded, and I am unable to get the reading, does anyone know the value of the capacitor? ![PCB overview ][1] ![Closeup of components in-situ ][2] ![Closeup of individual components ][3]

I bought a supposedly original charger for my MacBookPro9,2 (A7A048) 2012 Macbook pro. It does feature the apple logo etched into the plastic, it also says > Designed by Apple in California > Assembled in China On the one side. What seems strange to me is that on another side I find mention of > DONGGUAN SOLUM ELECTRONICS CO.LTD Which appears to be an electronics manufacturer, from brief web search. Is this simply the company assembling the thing for Apple or is it evidence of a fake? Unfortunately I don't have my broken original anymore to check.
