When you plug E17 via USB to a MacBook Pro does it charge/power the E17? or does it run off battery even though its plugged in USB threw PC/Mac?

It will charge when USB plugged in and have USB charge turned on in the E17's menu. Any USB port Mac or PC will work for data and power.

You can charge and use at the same time you E17, just set in the E17 menu this option.

Dont do macs. On pc it runs off usb port I have never needed to change the batteries so far. My E17 pretty much stays attached to my laptop on my desktop. I totally forgot about about needing them. Hope it helps.

I am by no means an expert on this camera. However, to the best of my knowledge I don't believe the battery will charge using the USB connection. I think it needs to be removed and placed in the wall charger. After reading the question I plugged my camera in to my MacBook using the USB cable ... and there was no indication that the battery was charging. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

It works well on a Macbook pro I can't find it at the moment because husband was using it so can't answer on the batteries

No, it has a 120 volt power suooly with a USB connection. It works fine on Windows Vista and 8. Can't comment on Mac. Hope this help.Art

Hi, David. Thank you for your question. The Gridder cannot charge a MacBook Pro. The Gridder supplies the USB standard of 5V, while the MacBook Pro charges at a higher voltage.

Yes. It is powered by firewire port on macbook. a great relief for me, no power adapter required

I couldn't tell you, I don't use pc I'm a mac guy. I worked in my Power Mac, but I now have an iMac and it won't work w/ new OS. Sorry I couldn't help more but I had mine before USB 3.0 became a reality.

Yes. I'm using it on a 2007 MBP 15". Sometimes it takes a few minutes to start charging (as opposed to just supplying power), i.e. the lightning bolt in the battery icon doesn't always show up immediately, but it does charge.

I"m not sure you need one that's 85w. Check what the wattage is for your power cord - the one that came with your macbook pro. Whatever that wattage is, match it for an adapter. This company makes adapters in a variety of power strengths. Hope this helps. FYI, I bought this one for my 15 in macbook pro and it worked great.

It will power a portable USB Hard drive. I run this configuration in hotels, where I can power the MacAlly simultaneously through its separate miniUSB charging port. While it can run a drive purely off its internal battery, but don't expect much in battery duration.

Plugs in to the USB port, the regular mouse is still available which allows you to switch back and forth between the two with ease. (Helpful at first. Not necessary later.) I don't know about the Mac, however. An article from way back in 2008 on Google states: "MacBook: All USB Ports Are Not Equal." There may have been changes since, and there may be ways around it. Truth is, I'm not much help. Sorry!

Use the power supply for the MacBook Pro. Yes, two outlets to power the computer and the Dock. Good luck!

The apple products themselves or the block on the macbook adapters convert the voltage internally. So you just need the plug adapter. This package is standalone for charging your Apple stuff abroad; when I was traveling I literally just used the plug adapter on my Macbook's power cord block. I hope that helps!

...the unit charges at 18.5 volts.....as long your device being powered is less than 18.5 volts, the unit will charge itself and provide power via the usb or dc.....I'm doing it right now with this laptop I'm using....the powerbrick died on this laptop.....this laptop uses 12 volts so, the Poweradd can reasonably provide output to the laptop and charge itself at the same time.......I have another laptop that is 19 volts and the unit continually depleted while plugged in to the wall to charge.....but it still provided power to the laptop....

It runs through USB when using it with a Mac. You need the power adapter if using with an iPad.

Apple calls these "adapters" because they plug into a 110V outlet and have a USB outlet - :adapting" the wall outlet AC voltage to something that will charge your Mac. You can then plug in whatever cable works for your Mac. Thus it serves as a charger for your Mac. Yes, it would be less confusing if they simply called it a charger but technically it's correct.
