Does your power connector look like this rectangular one:

If so, then you need this power adapter available from the Apple Store:

(If you have a 15" or 17" Macbook Pro, then you want the [85w version|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC556LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDEwMQ&mco=MTc0Nz A0MjY].)

Magsafe type adapters like this are available at the Apple Store, Bestbuy, Amazon, etc.
