I recently bought the Macbook but sometimes when I am out for the day the battery just doesn't last, I do have an external batter that I use to power my iPhone when I am on the go but that only has USB connections. If I were to use this and the use a USB to USB cable to my external battery, would it charge the Macbook?

Migration Assistant failed over Wi-Fi, and I still have a large photo library to move across to the new MacBook. The Apple Store suggested using Airdrop which is very limited/fragile when transferring a large number of photos - I think maybe I got the junior genius!

Given that this is the only way to connect to the new macbook, can you connect a splitter to this adapter? For example, my iTunes library is on an external USB drive. if i wanted to sync my iPhone, without using wifi sync, can i connect the USB drive AND the iPhone to this adapter via a splitter? for me this is a key answer for whether I can buy the new macbook or not
