Can I use my normal power adapter in another country without damaging my computer?

I just bought a brand new MacBook Air in the UK a couple of months ago, but now I'm moving to Mexico. I want to know if I can keep using the power adapter that came with my laptop, just adding a plug compatible with Mexican outlets. Will it damage my computer at all??

No, there's no danger to either the power adapter, or your computer.  You may need an AC prong adapter, and it's best to buy one after you arrive in your new location.

  • Can I use the same power charger in another country (South Africa) and just but a socket adapter?

    I am moving to South Africa from the US for a year and want to know if I can use the same power charger in South Africa and just but a socket adapter or do I need to get a new power charger for S.A.?

    Hi,
    Nowadays laptop chargers can be used for normal electricity around the world (110V to 250V). All we need is a small plug adapter similar the the ones we use to travel overseas. Most electrical shops, travel agents and airports ... sell them.

    I don't know about that for sure, but my guess is that it won't matter.  Battery technology today is much better.   You should follow Apples battery tips here:

  • Can I use 85 W power adapter for Mac Book AIR?

    I got a 85 W adapter (used for Mac Book Pro) for a Mac Book AIR. Can I continue to use the 85 W Power adapter instead of buying another 45 W one?

    Yes. The Macbook Air will only pull the max Wattage from the adapter as it's supposed to.

  • Can i use an old power adapter with a new powerbook

    I have an old powerbook AC adapter/charger from a previous powerbook that is dead. It is a 60 Watt charger Mod # 1184. Can I use it with the latest powerbook. It came with an 85 watt mod #1343? The shape of the connector is different but it seems to be the same kind of connection and fits fine. I haven't actually tried to use it to charge my laptop but it would be nice to have a spare charger. Thanks

    There are no "new" Powerbooks any more. They were replaced by the MacBook Pro in 2006.
    If the new computer is really a MacBook Pro and the old one is a PowerBook, adaptors are not interchangeable. Totally different connectors. All MacBook Pros use an 85W power supply; 15-inch PowerBooks used 45W and the 17-inch PowerBooks used 65W.
    The MacBook and the MacBook Pro share the same magnetic connector, the MagSafe. Sounds like you have an older Macbook power supply--they are 60W.
    A 60W MacBook Power Supply will "work" with a MacBook Pro but not fully service the computer. It will run the computer or charge the computer, but not both at the same time. I you have a very processor-intensive task running that can draw power from both the power adaptor AND the battery, you could be risking a shutdown.

  • Can I use an alternate power adapter for ibook g3 600 MHz?

    My old adapter is frayed, sparking, and no longer works even with electrical tape around the fray. I don't want to buy the same model b/c my ex-boyfriend had 2 other adapters fray in a similar manner.
    I'm overwhelmed by the power adapter choices. There are many on ebay but I wonder if they won't work properly. There is also this one (POWERBOOK IBOOK AC ADAPTER ( PS-AC4 )) at amazon:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001YXWVO/ref=ordcartshr/002-0375612-5404059?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance&n=172282
    I just want to get something that works for the lowest price possible. My computer is old (battery has close to NO lifespan -- I have to plug in at all times) and I may have to soon replace it for a school requirement.
    I appreciate any suggestions.

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The MacAlly adapter will work fine. We are using two of them on two of our four iBooks.
    Another, and bit sturdier, adapter can be found at Other World Computing
    The MacAlly adapter's cord (the one on Amazon) is a bit flimsier than the cord on the one from Other World Computing, but both are working fine on our iBooks.

  • I am traveling to India with my new iPad...to enable me to be online 24hrs a day to access my emails...do I just need a local sim card...also can I use a normal adaptor to plug in to charge or am I best paying for the apple universal kit....

    I am traveling to India with my new iPad...to enable me to be online 24hrs a day to access my emails...do I just need a local sim card...also can I use a normal adaptor to plug in to charge or am I best paying for the apple universal kit....

    If you have the AT&T 3G iPad then you can explore the SIM card. I'm not sure if India has the SIM network or another type. REgardless you should be able to access wifi.
    HOnestly, if I were traveling I'd get a plug adapter from a normal retail store. You can get a good one for $20 or less at your local retailer, Walgreens, Walmart, Target, probably KMart though I've not looked for them there. Best Buy and the office supply stores may also have them. You don't have to pay for the official one unless you want to. (I have 'over the counter' plug adapters so if I traveled I'd use what I have not buy another)
