Can the power adapter be used in China?

The short answer is, Yes; but you may need some form of adapter to connect the plug to the local style of socket.  A quick search on the internet found this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets

  • Can the power adapter plug be replaced?

    My poxy laptop slipped off the chair and landed directly on the power plug. I don't have a battery for the PB at the moment so power via the adapter was my only way of using it. Short of buying an entire new adapter I was wondering if the plug that goes into the laptop can be replaced since that was the only bit that broke. The rest of the adapter is all fine so it seems a bit overkill having to buy a whole new adapter just to replace the plug.

    Your best bet will probably be to find a dead adapter with a good plug attached to it, cut off the plug and splice it onto your adapter cord. I've never found a source for the plug you need. I suspect it was made to Apple's order and isn't generally available.

  • Can the iPhone 6 be used in China now?

    My friend asked me to get an iPhone 6 from America, which is unlocked and without contract, I am not sure if he can use it in China. The salesperson told me I can not buy it from online and I should get it from an Apple Store. However, in an Apple Store, the iPhone 6 has a T-mobile contract or something and I can not understand. Now I just hope to get an answer from you as soon as possible. Thank you!

    You'll have to check with the Chinese telephone company if they have nano sims and are configures with the same frequency of your iPhone.

  • Noise on audio output when using the power adapter

    I'm a musician and use my mid-2007 MBP 15" in my live rig. When I use the power adapter, I hear a buzz, sometimes accompanied by a slightly louder buzz that cycles on & off about 1x/second. There are a few weird things going on here:
    1. The buzz does not happen all the time. That leads me to think it may be noise in the AC line that the adapter is plugged into.
    2. The noise is heard when I use both the built-in audio output AND an external USB audio interface.
    In any case, when I disconnect the power adapter and run my MBP on battery, the noise goes away completely. I can probably do this on most gigs, but I'm a little nervous since I run a FW drive, an external USB audio interface, and my midi keyboard (powered by USB) so I am putting a little heavier than usual load on the MBP's battery.
    As I said, this may be a noisy AC line. Another guess is that it's the PMU inducing noise into the audio circuitry. I'm hoping a simple AC line filter can help me but I thought I would ask here first in case anyone else has dealt with this. TIA for any help!

    I had a similar problem and fixed it with a $5 universal travel adapter. Yours might be different but here's my situation. Try it for little cost and see if it works.
    I'm also a muso with an iMac running external KRK speakers via USB Mbox2. Previously I had a Macbook Pro and the same audio problem. I've been putting up with a very low volume, high pitch noise until now. I simply plugged the Mac power cord into a universal travel adapter which then goes into the wall. For Aussie users there is an adapter on ebay that will allow a 3 pin Aussie plug to go into female side and has a two pin Aussie male on the other. For US users you can probably get the same although there is a 59c product that will do the trick called a ground lift adapter. Applecare actually agreed this was the best fix and confirmed there would be no problems with power supply or Mac performance. What a gem ! God knows I've looked into all kinds of alternatives that could have cost hundreds instead of $5.

  • Where can I find a replacement for the power adapter tip?

    I need to replace the small adapter that allows the power adapter to be inserted into a socket. Does apple sell this part separately?
    The adapter itself works fine. But the tip that gets inserted into the adapter, and then the wall, has started to make sparks. I'm afraid it's going to catch fire, or cause a fire. When plugged into the wall, I hear sparks and I see smoke coming out. If I adjust it's position by slightly withdrawing it from the wall socket, so that there is minimal contact, the sparks stop. But I am a little worried now that I can't leave my MacBook Pro retina plugged in without risk of fire. This started about a month ago after two years of use without any issues.
    To be clear, I'm not talking about the adapter itself, but the tip that gets inserted into the adapter, and in turn allows the adapter to be inserted into a socket.
    It seems wrong to shell out $80 for a whole new adapter when all I need to replace is the wall adapter.

    What about the world travel adapter

  • Using my macbook pro whole day with the power adapter , will it affect my battery? Please help

    Using my macbook pro whole day with the power adapter , will it affect my battery? Please help

    It doesn't affect the battery. You can use your MacBook Pro plugged in all the time without damaging the battery. You only have to be sure that you unplug it and run a battery cycle (drain the battery without letting the Mac turn off and charge it fully) at least once a month to keep the battery life.

  • All of a sudden even using the power adapter its only at 57% after 8 hours

    I have my powerbook 1.67ghz, its plugged in and i have a couple of adapters so i dont think it is the power adapter.
    it has been plugged in and only records 57% power. What does anyone think? it fluctuates between GREEN and AMBER light on the power adapter.
    On the back of the computer itself i see some green lights but i dont know what they mean.

    Hi, Scott.
    yes i am using the 65 watt power adapter...
    Not when you ran System Profiler and got the results you quoted above, you weren't — at least not if System Profiler can be believed. Set the 50W adapter aside and don't use it with the Powerbook. If your alleged 65W adapter is identified by SP as a 50W adapter, it needs to be replaced with a proper one.
    If you "really never use it unplugged," that may explain why your Powerbook is misbehaving. Powerbook batteries want to be used. If you don't completely discharge and recharge your battery every two to four weeks, its charge-level calibration will become very inaccurate, and it may lose capacity faster than it should.
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
    If the plug on the 65W adapter fits your iBook (i.e., if it's an iBook G4 rather than a G3), test the 65W adapter to make sure it charges the iBook battery properly. (This will do neither the adapter nor the iBook any harm.) If it does, it's almost certainly not at fault. The other three components of the Powerbook's charging system are the battery, the logic board, and the DC-in/Sound card. Plug the 65W adapter into a wall socket that you know is reliable and not switched. Reset your Powerbook's Power Management Unit, following the instructions in this article for your particular model. Connect the adapter to the Powerbook and let it charge for twelve hours without turning it on. Post back to let us know the results.
    Other questions:
    How old is your battery?
    Was this battery supplied to you under Apple's replacement program for original PB batteries within a certain serial-number range? Many of the replacement batteries issued under that program seem to have been defective. They lose capacity very rapidly and prematurely (which yours hasn't done) and/or they refuse to charge even when they appear to be in good health (which yours may be doing). If your battery was supplied under the replacement program, it falls under greater suspicion.

  • Just purchased an 11" Mac Book Air, and I'm using it as a desktop. Is it ok to lea the power adapter connected all the time?

    I'm using my macbook air as a desktop unit, with an auxiliary flat panel display, as well as an external storage drive and a CD/dvd drive. Is it safe to leave the power adapter connected to the computer all the time? Will the battery life get affected or shortened by being fully charged all the time?

    Apple recommends that for best battery life, you allow the battery to discharge occasionally.

  • What is the necessity of the AC power cord (with Mac Book Air)? When should it be used with the power adapter?

    what is the necessity of the AC power cord (with the Mac book Air)? when should it be used?

    Gary, you wouldn't believe some of the questions people ask on this site.
    Why are both cords necessary?
    They are not.
    Other than the two reasons dominic23 sited are there any other reasons to use the AC power cord rather than the power adapter cord alone?
    No.

  • Is it safe to use the power adapter without the grounding pin?

    Is it safe to use the power adapter without the grounding pin?
    Last time I unplugged my power adapter the grounding pin stayed in the wall socket. Is it safe to use it with just the 2 prongs?

    Is it safe to use the power adapter without the grounding pin?
    No. If a short circuit occurs, it may cause the case of the computer or other device to build up an electric charge. The grounding pin absorbs any charges generated this way; without it, someone touching the device may get shocked.

  • When should I use the power adapter?

    I just installed a wireless router. Should I use the power adapter when I'm not going to use the Macbook for several hours? Does the Macbook drain the battery when it is shut down or sleeping?

    When should I use the power adapter?
    Whenever you are near a power outlet. Not 100% of the time, of course (you have to flex the battery sometimes) but as often as possible.
    Should I use the power adapter when I'm not going to use the Macbook for several hours?
    If you are near an outlet, yes.
    Does the Macbook drain the battery when it is shut down or sleeping?
    When sleeping, it drains a negligible amount.

  • When charging and using, ipad 2 is 100% battery, does ipad use the power from the power adapter or from the battery?

    I have a quention, when i am charging and using my ipad 2 at the same time, if the battery of ipad is fully 100%, does ipad use the power to work from the power adapter only or from the battery only or both? Thanks!

    YOu don't have to have your receipt. Apple should have a record of how long you've had the device. If you bought it in april 2012, then your 1 year warranty against manufacturer's defects is almost up. You should find your local apple store, make an appointment and take it in.
