Can I buy iMac power cables for the UK?

I am moving to the UK from the US and I have several Apple products. I would like to know if I can buy a replacement cable for each of them (iMac, MacBook Pro, Apple TV, MacBook Air) that will fit into a UK power plug. All are fairly recent purchases (less than 2 years old) and I don't want to replace them. I can fit the World converter plugs on my Ipod and iPhone chargers, but they wont fit on the laptop chargers.
Thanks!

All you need is an UK IEC power cord for the iMac (see image) and adapters for the Macbooks and the Apple TV.
The power supply in iMacs, Macbooks and Apple TV is an auto switching power supply that will accept voltage between 100 and 240V
Any standard european IEC power cord will do, you do not have to by one from Apple, but the Apple one as a extra round plastic part that will fit snugly in the iMac. (see second image)
Using a adapter is also an option for the iMac, but they tend to fit loosely on the US plug and can be more easily disconnected than a real European cord. If you go with only adapters, make sure you get good ones that will fit tightly on the us plug.

  • Where can I buy a nano sim for the new iPhone 5

    Hi all,
    I have just ordered a new iPhone 5 from the apple website and it comes as an unlocked phone. Therefore I need to buy a new 'nano sim' to fit the new phone.
    Does anyone know where and how I go about doing this?
    I've seen that vodaphone have apparently got 500,000 of these new Nano sims in stock, but are they only for people who have bought the phone through them?
    Do you know any other networks or providers that are selling the nano sim, even if you haven't purchased the phone from them?
    Any advice or tips would be much appreiciated.
    Many thanks
    Chris

    Which is why in the UK it is not really worth purchasing an iPhone directly from Apple - it's a no brainer.  You should always purchase through the phone companies themselves and you'll get a much better deal always.
    I have been with 02 on a contract since I had my first iPhone and have always upgraded for less than half the cost of the iPhone directly from Apple.
    I really don't understand why someone would want to spend at least £525 to £600 on a phone from Apple when you could get it for less than half the cost with the UK phone companies, unless of course money is no object!
    Where do you get your information from?

  • Upgraded my macbook pro to mountain lion from snow leopard does this mean i can upgrade my imac as well for the same price? And will it mess it up?

    You can upgrade the iMac for no extra charge - sign into the App Store there, download and install 10.8.
    I recommend that you make a backup (Time Machine is probably the easiest method) before you install, and make sure that you are not using any applications that are incomptible with 10.8 (eg Office 2004) - other than that, it should go smoothly.

  • Can I buy multiple AppleCare  services for the same device?

    I'm buying an IPhone here in US, but I'm going to Brazil for a long time.
    Must I buy AppleCare in Brazil in order to have warranty insurance there? Is it possible to buy AppleCare+ in US and also in Brazil, for the same IPhone?

    As said in another of your posts, the warranty is only valid in the US on a US purchased iPhone...you cannot purchase AppleCare for it in Brazil.  You can only buy AppleCare+ warranty extension in the US since that is the country of origin of the iPhone.
    To get warranty coverage in Brazil, you need to purchase the iPhone in Brazil.

  • Where can i buy a Power cord for my iMac in Perú?

    I need it to turn on my iMac.
    I live now in Perú.

    You might be able to find a power cord with the correct plug for Peru in the Apple Store covering that area of the world.
    However you do not need to get a new power cord you can get a plug adapter to go from the plug that is on the cord to the receptacle in the wall. Any good electronics store or even a store that handles items for travelers should have one.
    Note you do not need any sort of power  or electrical converter you only need to change the shape of the plug. The power supply in the Mac is universal.

  • Anyone know the length of the power cable for the official dock for the K1?

    The power cable that came with the Ideapad K1 isn't long enough to reach my power strip behind my desk. I was wondering how long the power cable is for the dock that I see in the Lenovo store?
    Besides that, I love this tablet, nice and easy to hold, probably one of the most comfirtable tablets to hold (next to what Sony just released). I'm a little disappointed with the wifi connection and the reboots (down to maybe one today with the new launcher *sigh*). Even with the issues, I trust Lenovo more in terms of support then I do anyone else.

    Big Daddy, One other thing I forgot to mention is, If you open the case on your device, you'll instantly void any warranty that came with it. Also, bear in mind, any modifications that you make to the antenna system on this device could not only make the FCC approval that Linksys was given for the device null and void. Be very careful with anything like an antenna system on these devices, you can actually recieve RF burns if you contact any bare metal of the antenna system when it is transmitting. Just bear in mind that 2.4GHz is more less the same frequency that a microwave oven uses (although at a LOT lower power). As a radio ham, I've had the odd RF burn and I can tell you, they really hurt!.

  • Does Mac still sell the power cables for the late 2005 version of these?

    I recently purchased a PowerMac but the pervious owner did not have the power cable. I assumed it would be no problem and that I could take a power cord from one of my other Macs, but I now see that this late 2005 model has a different socket then most macs it is square with horizontaly running bars and looks like [--_--]. I want to know if Mac still makes replacements for these and if they sell them at the Mac stores.
