Quite frankly, I was hoping someone would ask this question. I have always been able to charge my iPod without problems, but when I try my MacBook it never seems to work. I've tried starting out with a fully-charged battery and removing the battery--in each case, the light on the end of the Mag-Safe connector doesn't even turn on. The little green light on the A330 plug turns on for about a second and then turns back off. I think that the transformer just draws too much power.

Anyone else have experience with a Mac on board?
