Can you buy the AC wall adapter separately? This is the little square piece that snaps on the battery when you travel.

the 60W magsafe power adapter that came with my late 2009 13" macbook pro gets extremely hot to the touch while charging. does it need to be replaced?

AnswerIt depends on what type of applications you are running at the time, such as Final Cut Pro or Safari.
When your computer is running big applications such as Final Cut Pro, you will notice your computer will need more power to do more tasks and therefor your MagSafe power adapter may get warm/hot.
If you are using a less mighty application such as Safari, your MagSafe power adapter should NOT get hot. If it does get hot/burning; I would replace it, especially if it has been mistreated before.
Hope this helps.- Answered by Matthew S from Prince George

Answer
No it will not work. This magsafe adapter is for the Macbook series. You need the "Extra Portable Power Adapter - 65W (for iBook & PowerBook)"
Do a search for Adapters in the Apple Store and you will see it.- Answered by Donna E from Auburn

what length is the cord on the magsafe power adapter?
- Asked by Andre M from Raleigh

AnswerEach part i.e. the bit that plus into the mac and the bit that plugs into the power socket is about 6ft I reckon (assuming you've got the extended plug cord), so more than enough for most situations.

Is the new version of the 85w MagSafe Power Adapter for the Macbook Pro compatible with the 2006 version of the Macbook Pro?
- Asked by Thai H from Lexington
- Jun 14, 2010

Best AnswerNo. It is not compatible. The newer metal grey MagSafe connector which has the cable in line with the body of the connector is slightly smaller than the older white plastic MagSafe connector where the cable sticks out at 90 degrees. Make sure you buy the same type as the original adaptor that came with your Mac. Use part number MA938B for the old-style adaptor.

can i use Apple 60W MagSafe Power Adapter, im from japan and move to phillipines?
- Asked by Ronnie U
- May 21, 2012
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerYes, you are able to use your 60W MagSafe Power Adapter in the Philippines.
Even thought Japan has 100V outlets and the Philippines has 220V outlets, your 60W MagSafe Power Adapter automatically switches to the correct input voltage. As long as the input voltage is between 100V-240V AC.
So there is no need to worry because Apple has thought of this for us, just plug it in and you are good to go. :)
The only thing you may need to buy is the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit for the different outlet styles in the Philippines.
Hope this helps :]- Answered by Matthew S from Prince George

I am going to the Philippines and I'm using this charger for my Macbook Pro. Can I just plug it in there directly? They use 220V and 60Hz there.

Answeryeah I have a set of different detachable plugs for mine. You just slip off the US plug, and attach the the plug you need. Search the apple store for "Apple World Travel Adapter Kit" should have just what you need. :)
