[QUOTE="Mikeo512, post: 1886560, member: 404931"] I am currently using a MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) and this is running on 11.4. My previous MPB was "mid 2014" and ran on 10.13.6. That one is no longer working but I still have the power supply. (In fact, I bought that power supply in France in 2018 because the previous power supply stopped working. It has a 2-pin plug for French sockets but there are obviously mains adapters that will obviate this problem.) In both cases, the power comes from the power supply via a USB plug - but the sockets on these two Macs are not the same. Are there adapters that will allow me to use my current MPB in conjunction with the power supply for the "mid 2014" model? How about the voltage from the two supplies? Unfortunately, I don't have a volt meter to hand. Thanks in advance. M [/QUOTE]
