Can i use my computer from canada in europe?

i'm going to a conference in paris this week. if i buy a prong adapter for the outlet in paris, will my computer convert the energy there into a useful form...and not fry my computer?
thanks so much.

Ellen:
Your PowerBook G4 has a line voltage of 100-240V AC, which means that it should work as easily on the European 220 voltage as it works on Canada/US 110 volts. Be sure you get an adapted plug before you go. I found it quite difficult to get one in London several years ago. Your 45 W Apple Portable Power Adapter brings the power to a voltage your computer can handle.

  • I want to install a new hard drive on my 2008 MacBook but do not have the instillation discs that came with my computer.  Can I use instillation discs from a 2009 or 2010 MacBook?

    I want to install a new hard drive on my 2008 MacBook but do not have the instillation discs that came with my computer.  Can I use instillation discs from a 2009 or 2010 MacBook?  The hard drive I am planning to install is a WD Scorpio Black 500GB SATA 2.5'' internal hard drive.

    Sometimes they do work - i've done it before.  I have a late 2008 Macbook Uni and used the install dvd of my 2009 Macbook White and it worked.
    Why not just clone your hard drive?  It'll save you a lot of time doing a clone rather than doing a clean install.
    Unless you're having issues with your old set up or  your old hard drive is dead.
    You can download Carbon Copy Cloner - install your new hard drive in a external usb enclosure (around $10) and clone fromt here then test it before you install it in your Macbook.
    Once you've done the swap, you can install your old hard drive in the USB enclosure and use it as a backup drive.
    Good luck

  • Can i put an ipod from canada(110v) in usb from romania? (220V)

    Can i put an ipod from canada(110v) in usb from romania?(220v)

    If you mean can you use a wall charger that has been used for 110V on a 220 V outlet.  You can with an adopter that converts the plug configureation IF, the wall charger says it is good for 110 to 22O V.  The Apple ones are.  The voltage range is small print on the charger and you may need a magnifying glass and goo lightning.

  • HT3819 can I use my computer on my tv?

    can I use my computer on my tv?

    If you are referring to using airplay mirroring, then no. That would require a Mac from 2011 or later running Mountain Lion.
    However, you can use 3rd party software like Airparrot. They have a free trial so you can see if it works for your needs.
    If you just want to view your iTunes library, then yes you can.

  • HT5299 Thunderbolt-Can you use an  adaptor From a thunderbolt External drive to a firewire 800/400 Mac

    Thunderbolt-Can you use an  adaptor From a thunderbolt External drive to a firewire 800/400 Mac

    No. The Thunderbolt to Firewire adapters only work to connect a Firewire drive to a Thunderbolt port. They do not work in reverse, to connect a Thunderbolt-only drive to a Firewire port. If the only port your drive has is a Thunderbolt port and all you have on the Mac is Firewire, you can't use that drive with that computer.

  • Can i use apple computer to place phone call?

    can i use apple computer to place a
    phpne call?

    If you have an iPhone with iOS 8 on the same wifi network as the computer, and the computer matches the specs required for Continuity and phone calls (i.e it is running Yosemite), then yes, yes you can.
    Phone calls
    With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
    To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
    Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
    Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
    All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
    Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support

  • How can i use my ipad in canada?

    How can i use my ipad in canada?

    You can certainly use your iPad in Canada. You'll need to find out from your cellular carrier though if you can use cellular in Canada with paying hige roaming charges.
    If there will be roaming charges, or if your carrier will not let you use cellular in Canada, you can still use the iPad. Turn off Cellular in Settings. You can still connect to Wi-Fi anywhere you go.

  • HT1414 Do I have to use the original computer to update iPad? Or can I use any computer?

    Do I have to use the original computer I started with to update my iPad? Or can I use any computer/laptop?

    Thanks. I asked the question because if you have iOS 5 or later you can update directly from the iPad.
    Now, to answer your question specifically, yes you can, but it may have implications. See this link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972 and the sub heading, 'If you are tempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you do not normally sync'.
