Assistance with electrical adapter/converter

Hi,  I'm going to be traveling to the UK with my Ipad. What's the best adapter to purchase?  Do I also need to get an electrical converter?  I don't want to fry my equipment.  Any suggestions for items are appreciated.  First time world traveller.

A plug adapter like this will do the job:

  • What kind of electric adapter/converter do I need to use my MacBook Pro and iPhone in Ireland?

    I'm going to Ireland and want to take my MacBook Pro and my iPhone with me. There are a wide range of adapters and converters on the market but I need to know specifically what I need to access electric power while in Ireland. Do I need an adapter of some kind, or do I need only a converter of some kind, or do I need both?
    Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

    Your existing AC chargers are auto-switchable between 110 or 230 volts. You will probably need an outlet adaptor that you can purchase in most AAA travel stores or local computer shops. Or you can purchase Apple's World Travel Kit.

    Problems converting PDF to MS Word document.  I successfully converted 4 files and now subsequent files generate a "conversion failure" error when attempting to convert the file.  I have a large manuscript and I separated each chapter to assist with the conversion; like I said, first 4 parts no problem, then conversion failure.  I attempted to convert the entire document and same result.  I specifically purchased the export to Word feature.  Please assist.  I initially had to export the Word Perfect document into PDF and attempting to go from PDF to MS Word.

    Hi sdr2014,
    I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
    So, let's try this:
    If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • What type of adapter/ converter would I purchase from Apple if traveling to France? Does Apple even offer one?

    What type of adapter/ converter would I purchase from Apple if traveling to France? Does Apple even offer one?

    The power supplies used by Apple can be used with any line voltage between 100 and 240 volts so you done need any changes there.
    What you will need is pin adapters because the European socket require different shaped pins. You can get the pins adapters at any hardware store quite inexpensively.

  • 50mm Macro Life Size Adapter/Converter

    I own the 50mm f:2.5 macro lens.  This lens will focus to 1/2 life size but to get to life size Canon states that I need to buy their unique adapter which costs an arm and a leg.  What is the advantage of using the Canon adapter/converter instead of using s simple extension tube?
    Thanks.
    Solved!

    Richard D,
    It is true that you can change the focusing distance of the EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro lens by simply adding an extension tube to it.  To achieve anywhere close to life size magnification (1x), you would need the EF 25 II extension tube. 
    The disadvantage is that you do not quite hit the target of life size magnification with an extension tube and you are adding an extra 25mm to the focal length, which changes the working distance.  The Life-Size Converter allows you to achieve 1x life size magnification while keeping the working distance and focal length shorter, which is great for copy stand work or photographing large, flat artwork.

  • Traveling to Portugal --  Adapter/Converter Recommendations??

    I'm traveling to Portugal and I need to be able to charge my MacBook while I'm there. I went ahead and did some pretty superficial research that told me to buy both an adapter and a converter so that I don't fry my laptop. However, the converters I've found (which converts 220/240V AC to 110/120V AC) say they should only be used with heat appliances, not computers, and not for extended periods of time. Can anyone recommend an adapter, converter, or both that will allow me to charge my comp overseas without killing it based on personal experience (even if it's from RadioShack or Best Buy, etc.)?

    The power adapter that is provided with your Apple computer will handle a range of AC input voltage (100-240) and line frequencies (50-60Hz). The AC power in Portugal falls into this range, and you do not need to buy a power converter. You might have to buy an AC prong adapter, and it's cheapest to buy one after you arrive at your destination.

  • What adapter/converter do I need to put GoPro videos onto iPad

    What adapter/converter do I need to put GoPro videos from my iMac to my iPad?

    What file type are the videos? If you have converted them to GoPro video format, iMovie should be able to convert the video to a format that con be used by the iPad.
    H.264 videos output by the camera may be able to be used by the iPad by directly importing them from the camera to the iPad with Apple's Camera Connection Kit.

    I need to access (Ultra) scsi-2 68 pin drives but the card is dead. Is there an adapter/converter out there somewhere like my IDE to USB for this? Any other suggestions appreciated.

    Might be hard to find, but long ago there were a couple of Firewire<->SCSI adapters, if you have USB2 those might be available also...

    I think Belkin made one also.
    Might be far cheaper to buy an old Mac or even PC with SCSI.

    Dear Community,
    how can I connect SCSI tape recorder via USB to iMac ?
    Is there any adapter/converter on the market now ?
    Cheers, Marek

    Thanks Jan.
    Actually the reason to use Quantum SCSI tape recorder is to back-up big amount of data (propriety movies footage) both on PC (what is quite easy, using SCSII host adapter with VHDCI 68 connector) and iMac what seems to be not easy. All my search by Google leads to that conclussion, they finished production of SCSI-to-USB or FireWire because somebody stopped to produce chips to covert protocols. So even buying noe second-hand adapter, no guaranty it's still working with Lion (nobody is developing drivers anymore). Strange is, nobody or just a few are using SCSII (Ultra 320) devices (while the transfer is not bad, 320 MBps what is 2560 Mbps, so the only limitation is tape recording (some 80 MBps) not an interface. Using compression mode I can (and I do) record 1,6 TB of footage data. However quite slow, is safe and cheap, comparing with any HD storage solution. USB 2 is much more limited.
    I'm using Time Capsule for buck-up. But even 3 TB one day will be full of data, then old back-ups will be eaten by new once, what is not good idea for archives. I'm using another 2TB NAS HD (2x2TB RAID 1), but this is also going to be full soon.
    Of course, you are right, the option is another machine (OSX,Win,Linux or Solaris) equipped with SCSII controller. But this requires another machine, just for back-up time to time, and in practice iMac folders must be shared with that small auxiliary machine because amount of data practically excluding even temporary data collection on auxiliary machine. And it must be transfer by wire, not WIFI, my only network. Tape recording is in my case really good, professional solution, isn't it?
    Anyway, if somebody has similar requirements as me, and found the solution for SCSI, please let me know. So far, follow Jan's idea, I'm thinking about some embeded mini PC, fanless, equipped with slot for SCSI, with SOME smart system on-board, to deal with iMac for type recording. The option is previous Apple model, but to be honest, I became Mac/OSX user 4 years ago. I fell in love with Mac, but my knowledge about previous models is based on Google....
    My desk becomes full of boxes. Do you know how big Quantum TC-L42BX is ? Is very big. And now another box.....another keyboard....another screen... And one small adapter could solve the problem. Eh....

  • Sony handycam hard drive (toshiba 1.8 60G MK80316) hooked up with usb adapter

    Handycam won't power up. Removed hard drive and hooked it up with a usb adapter to a laptop. Drive not shown in my computer. I found drivers for the adapter and toshiba hard drive but hard drive is not found.

    Hi newbie-515,
    Unfortunately, the failure code for the hard drive is fortelling you of what is to come. In my opinion I would address the solution by the following specific actions:
    1: Back up any data that can be accessed from the original drive, onto an external hard drive. To minimize the risk of losing any information.
    2: Replace the failing hard drive, before it gets to the point of complete failure. This may also prevent loss of personal data.
    and 3: Decide whether you want to upgrade/restore Microsoft Windows 7 onto the pc. That particular pc has current drivers available online at HP Support for the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system.
    Once this has been completed, then you can recover any personal data that was backed up to the external hard drive, onto the newly installed hard drive.
    ***In this forum support is available for HP hardware/software assistance. I will provide best-effort support with your HP hardware/software. If you need assistance with software that is from any other vendor, then I may re-direct you to the appropriate reference at that time.

  • HP Compaq NC8430 is not working on ANY battery, but works with AC adapter

    I have bought an used HP Compaq NC 8430.
    The computer fails to power on with its battery. But it's working with AC adapter.
    I blamed a bad battery but it cannot be that.
    I have switched the battery with a same model's one, which is 100% working.
    But the computer is not power on with the other battery. I have tried 2 more compatible batteries, still not working at all. Only working when connected with AC adapter. The yellow led lights, indicating the battery is being charged. But when unplugged from adapter, the PC is switching off instantly.
    It CANNOT be the battery, as all the batteries worked on a friend's NC8430 PC.
    It should be some kind of hardware fail?
    I have tried to flash the BIOS, to clean the battery contacts, to remove the battery drivers in the control panel... nothing worked.
    The HP battery check gives "No battery"
    Please, help

    "No battery" sounds more like a hardware issue (battery connector), i would suggest you to contact hp tech support (http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.h​tml) on the same.

  • Using migration assistant with macbook air

    Since there are no Firewire on the MacBook Air, can I use a USB port to transfer my apps using Migration Assistant?

    Hi Jean-Paul,
    You can use wireless as well as a wired connection for Migration Assistant (you'd need the USB-to-Ethernet adapter if you went wired).

  • IPod Nano crashes with BMW adapter after 1.3 update

    Hi All,
    I have a 1st Gen 4G iPod Nano that I have updated to the new firmware version 1.3. The problem is that now when I connect the iPod to the BMW adaptor kit in my car the iPod freezes after approximately 1 hour and will not change play lists or tracks. Then when I unplug the adaptor the iPod is frozen with "BMW okay to disconnect" on the screen. Once resetting, the iPod will go back to normal for approximately one hour and then the error will start over again. Does anyone have a suggestion or is it possible to revert to old firmware?
    Thanks!
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi all,
    Here is my update on the issue:
    While reconnecting and disconnecting the iPod, I accidentally dislodged the adapter from the stereo which resulted in a service call to BMW to reconnect the adapter.
    I ended up purchasing the new Product Red iPod which works fine with the adapter. To sum things up, the fact that I just updated the firmware may not have anything to do with the BMW adapter problems. The BMW adapter is finicky. I have friends with the same adapter in an X3 as well as a Mini Cooper with the same issues; the adapter becomes loose and begins to malfunction.
    My recommendation is test your adapter with another iPod and if the problem persists take your car back to BMW to fix the problem.
    *Note: Cold weather should not affect how the adapter works because mine has been working fine in -30 degree Celsius weather
