Can I use my mac book pro with 120 volt and 240 volt power supplies?  Does the power converter automatically switch, so I just need a different adapter plug?

I got my mac book pro in the U.S., but I will be travelling to where there is 240 volt power.  Does the mag safe power adapter switch automatically, so I just need a converter plug, or do I need a transformer to convert from 240 to 120 volts?  Thanks.

Hi,
I too bought my Macbook Pro in the US and I live in the UK (its so much cheaper in the US! No 20% VAT!)
The power adapter does work on UK 230v power. You can also get a three pin extension lead (like the 2 pin US one that came with the MBP) for about £3 with free delivery from Amazon UK.
Another tip, whne you are back in the UK, and you are switching from a PC to a Mac, get in touch with your local Apple Shop who run one to one free courses on how to use your MBP.
Hope This Helps!!

    can I use my mac book pro in ireland without a converter?  meaning just use my USA plug with an adapter (not voltage converter) in the socket?

    Or go whole hog and splurge on the Apple Travel Kit, that contains enough adapters & such to purportedly enable you to power your Mac, iPod, iPad or iPhone anywhere in the world. Available at the Store.

  • Can I use my Mac book pro while downloading a tv series from iTunes?

    Can I use my Mac book pro while downloading a long tv series from iTunes?  Or will I lose my connection ? And my money?

    I use my MacBook Pro all the time when downloading something from the iTunes store without losing my connection. If you would probably depends on the general stability of your WiFi or LAN connection, but you should not.
    Also, if a download should get interrupted you can always start it again by going to "Downloads" in iTunes.

  • How can i fix my mac book pro i bought in mid 2010, it is slowing down. the pin wheel does spin a alot.

    how can i fix my mac book pro i bought in mid 2010, it is slowing down. the pin wheel does spin a alot.

    try this;
    open disk utility - verify disk permissions - repair disk permissions if errors are found.  might take an hour or less - depending on how much errors needs to be repaired.
    restart your macbook and see if that sorts it out for you.
    also check your hard drive space.  if your hard drive is almost full, that will also contribute to your macbook getting slower....
    good luck

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
    You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

  • Downloading Mountain Lion on Mac Book Pro with max RAM and after 20 hours only 1.50Gb downloaded of 4.37GB. What gives?

    I have a MAC Book Pro with maximum RAM added and tried to download Mountain Lion and after 20 hours only 1.50GB downloaded of 4.37GB. Very slow and set my machine not to sleep overnight or anything. Should I give up and stick with my snow leopard?

    I think that since Apple just released the Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Update and iOS 6, their download servers are being somewhat overloaded.  It may pay to try again in a day or two after things calm down a little.  It also depends on where you live and how fast your ISP download speeds are.
    Hope this helps

    Apple will not normally buy back old Macs. They do offer a recycling program with the store.  Inquire at your local store.  This is a user to user forum, so no one here can answer for Apple directly, except with what we have experienced as users.
    My website has tips on selling your old Mac*:
