Can Use A 2011 Macbook Pro Charger For 2007 Macbook?
Feb 9, 2012
My charger for my 2007 Macbook works as an AC adapter, but will not charge my battery. My girlfriend has a new Macbook pro and I want to know if I can use her charger to charge my battery. I know they output different wattages, but I'm not sure how that will affect it. I have heard rumors that new Pro chargers will fry the batteries of the older Macbooks but I don't know if there is any truth to that.
Is it better to keep the charger in after a completely charged or pull out the charger. Basically I'm wondering if the power is pulled from the UPS after the battery is completely charged or is it still constantly charging the battery.
I will be switching from Outlook 2007 to Office for Mac Outlook 2011 for my business email/calendar/contacts. I am pleased with Outlook 2007, but despise my PC otherwise. I will be using Microsoft Exchange as my email server. My concerns: Calendar Syncing, Accessing Archived PST files, Transitioning current mail folders.
I have a couple questions regarding this switch:
- Will Office for Mac Outlook 2011 accommodate by business needs and offer a comparable application as Office 2007 (PC version)?
- What roadblocks or issues should I be aware of when making this switch?
This is my first post and I've a couple of questions and did searched for it on the internet but unfortunate ...For my study Multimedia designer, I am planning to get a Mac Pro but my school wants us to get a D*ll V laptop, windows 7 with these software:Adobe CS4 Master CollectioMicrosoft Office Enterprise 2007Microsoft Office Project Professional 2007I didn't choose for this D*LL laptop because its a 17,3" one and with my schoolbooks and etc in my bag, it would be pretty heavy for me.I hope that someone in this forum knows the answers on my questions and I really appreciate your help cos I even asked my friends and family about it but unfortunate, no luck so far
I have a 2 year old macbook that has generally worked well. About 4 days ago, I put it to sleep and didn't touch it again until yesterday so the battery had obviously been drained. I've done this before in the past and whenever I plug the charger back in, the computer starts right up, no problem. This time however, the macbook won't start up, the charger is a solid amber color for about 3 seconds before switching to a blinking green. The screen blinks black (as in I don't even hear the chime and get the gray startup screen) and the little white light in the front blinks quite rapidly. I've tried resetting the PMU several times to no avail. I've taken the ram out and tried each one individually with no changes. I checked the ram carefully as well and they don't seem fried or anything. I've tried plugging the charger in with the battery and without the battery and the result is still the same.
I have another friend here with a macbook so I'm going to test it out with her charger this weekend as well as charge my battery in her laptop and then pop it back into mine and see if it works (although this is really a last ditch attempt on my part).
Any ideas on how to fix it or what the problem is? I don't live in the States so going to a Genius Bar isn't an option.
I am looking to hook up my 2007 Macbook Pro (2.4 Ghz 15 Inch Screen) to my sony bravia 32 inch TV. Seeing how this particular model of macbook pro, although very hardy and has lasted me through now, the screen at the bottom is cracked and will probably at some point snap (annoying...). Â
Anyway! Just a note to start, I no longer have my original display adapter that came with my computer, it was lost at some point in the move out of my parents house and I do not remember what the hook up is. I purchased an SVGA moniter cable from radio shack since I can hook that up to my TV. I then went to the PX here on base and purchased a mini display port to VGA adapter for my computer, but alas I do not have this hook up on my computer (although the vga adapter end works, obviously).Â
This is what I'm assuming I need...can I get this to vga adapter?Â
My 2007 Macbook won't boot. When you press the power button it starts as normal, the apple appears and the spinning circle starts. Then the screen goes grey and it sits there. I have to press the power button to shut it down. I took it to a service shop who told me that the hard drive was dying so I replaced the old drive with a new ssd and a fresh install of Lion. No difference. Still won't start. I refreshed the PRAM but made no difference.
When I close the lid, select sleep from the  menu, or push the power button, and select "sleep" my MBP will not go to sleep as it ussually does. It has been doing this since I performed the last set of software updates (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53) about a week ago. Â

It will read CD's and burn CDR but thats all. When I insert any dvd the lazer loudly slides back and forth then spits out the dvd after several minutes. Is there a solution for this, other than replace drive? Is UJ-85J-C the only drive that will fit? If not, what other drives fit?

I just plugged in my 1 week old 13" macbook pro while using it for 15 minutes and checked the block of the plug and it was extremely hot, is this normal?
The Apple one looks tempting as it comes with 6 batteries and 29€ isn't too much, plus, as usual, it looks brilliant. I looked at some 3rd party chargers as well ranging from 20€ to 40€. None of them was stunning or special by any means. Cheaper ones usually came with two or four batteries and some came without batteries. I don't really need it for else than Magic Mouse, occasionally for something else too.
I have the Mid-2007 Macbook white plastic one. Which also has the plastic cracking on the right side... i think i heard it was common.Anyways, I wanted to know if I would see a significant performance increase with the Macbook Pro 13"My current specs are: Model Name: MacBook Model Identifier:MacBook2,1 Processor Name:Intel Core 2 Duo

A friend of mine ran into the most surprising thing when he booted up from his MacBook. Instead of seeing the Apple logo, he saw a question mark - ?.
I told him to try and boot from his Install Disc 1 and it managed to as the Apple logo along with the busy progress bar was shown. Then the usual language selection. I told him to select startup disk from the utilities menu and he said that all he could see is network startup and the Mac OS install disk. Even when he tried to repair disk, it said that it wasn't mounted.
Going to buy me a MBP (first Mac ever) when they, hopefully soon, get updated..
At work at for studies i'll be using MS Word a lot and even more Excel!
Have used these programs in their Windows version for ages and i can't "afford to lose" the skills i've build with them, when switching to my new Mac..
Have heard a lot about the 2008 Mac version of Office isn't quite the same A's the 07 Windows version!
Long story short: Will i be able to - with no problems, lag or anything like that - run MS Office 07 from a Win 7 partition using either Fusion or Parallels?
Shouldn't that work exactly the same as on my current PC?
I currently own a Mid-2007 entry-level MacBook. It's 3 years old now (I bought it for university), so now at the end of my degree I'm slightly curious as to the notebooks that Apple have in their line-up right now. I could probably stretch, if I were to buy one, to the entry-level 13" MacBook Pro. My question is, and this is just curiosity - is there much to be jealous of in the current entry level 13" MacBook Pro, compared to what I have now? I upgraded the RAM to 2GB and the HD to 500GB in the one I have now, but still I get jealous when I see pictures of the MBP - should I be? Or is what I currently have now not too bad?
Installed Lion successfully on my 2007 MacBook Pro. First run went OK. Tried restarting and won't boot. No Chime... nothing. SMC reset and PRAM reset don't do anything. Sleep light comes on for split second, optical disk engages momentarily, then all goes dead. Screen stays black. Attempted start without RAM seems to indicate logic board is working. Getting repeating tones. Flashing light when I press and hold power is the most I can get with the memory installed.Â

Upgraded my macbook 2.16 to 4 gig ram and installed SSD Reinstalled snow leopard Runs Beautifully fast but VERY HOT Extremely hot Is this to be expected?
I have a late 2007 13 inch Macbook. It;s still a fantastic piece of kit.Â
I want to know if the new standard of USB 3.0 devices (like simple memory sticks) will work with my machine… are they compatible with USB 2.0 machines??Â
Partly I'm thinking of buying th newest standard now for the future Â
