Is this incompatible with MagSafe Airline Adapter?
- Asked by Eunsoo R from Hoffman Estates

Best Answer:
The Airline Adapter will NOT (I repeat, NOT) work with the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro. This may be w The Airline Adapter will NOT (I repeat, NOT) work with the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro. This may be why Apple discontinued the adapter, but Apple has not given a reason for discontinuing it. To get technical, the Airline adapter transmitted an output of 16V. The 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro wants a 20V input. You may ask why older MacBook AC adapters work, and why Apple offered a MagSafe to MagSafe 2 adapter. The reason is that the MagSafe AC adapters can modulate from 16V to 18.5V output. When a 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro is connected, the older AC adapters crank up to the max at 18.5V, which is close enough that in most cases... sufficient power is supplied. I have not tested with the 13-inch Retina or the MacBook Air, but those appear to run at lower voltages (14.5V on the MacBook Air, for example). The Airline Adapter may work on those systems.

Can I use this MagSafe to charge my MacBook Pro with my MacBook Air charger?

The short answer is No! I just had this discussion on the phone with an Apple Genius at my local sto The short answer is No! I just had this discussion on the phone with an Apple Genius at my local store. First I spoke to a regular sales specialist there and she didn't really understand my questions and just was able to read from a spec sheet about which wattage charger comes with each model. Then I asked to speak to someone more technical and she connected me to the Genius who gave me the following information: There are two issues when it comes to compatibility. One is the physical size &shape of the MagSafe. The MagSafe to MagSafe2 converter will make an old MagSafe Cord fit on the new Laptops. However, the other issue is the wattage. The MacBook Airs come with a 45W charger. The 13" MacBook Pros come with a 60 W charger. The 15" and old 17" MacBook Pros with an 85W charger. Basically they are downwards compatible, but not upwards compatible. You can use a larger-capacity charger with a smaller capacity machine, but not the other way around…..for example, you can use an 85W charger with a 13" MacBook. However, you cannot use the Air's 45W charger with the MacBook Pros that need either 60W or 85W. (One thing I am not sure of is if you can use the 60W or 85W charger on the 45W MacBook Air - forgot what we said about this.) The wattage is indicated on the charger's power block.

Might be a "duh" question, but it wouldn't work on a 2008, 17" MacBook Pro would it???
- Asked by shaina H from Richond

Best Answer:
No, that won't work. The converter only connects the fatter, shorter "old" style mag safe connector No, that won't work. The converter only connects the fatter, shorter "old" style mag safe connector to the newer, thinner "new" style. Breakage of the type that you described is common. Apple has some kind of special campaign -- google "apple magsafe replacement" and the link -- to Apple's support website, which link I am not allowed to paste into this message -- will be displayed.
