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.

  • Can I use the same TimeMachine backup (ext.drive) on my desktop and laptop (but one running Lion, the other Mtn.Lion)?

    Want to use the TM backup from my desktop to keep my laptop up to date when I travel, and then vice versa, when I return.  The laptop (MacBook Pro) is running Mtn. Lion 10.8.3, but the iMac desktop is running Lion 10.7.5.  Is this even possible with the same external hard drive being used to go back and forth like that?

    You can use the Time Machine backup files of the iMac onto your MacBook without any problem because your MacBook has got a newer version than the one the iMac has got. However, you shouldn't do it in your iMac, and if you do that, you might damage OS X because your Time Machine apps will replace Lion apps.
    You can still restore individual data onto your iMac > http://pondini.org/TM/E3.html Note that you can back up both Macs onto the same external disk, but you can't use the same backup in both, so Time Machine will create another backup for each Mac you have

  • My daughter has a ipodtouch that we have set up now i need to set up a ipod shuffle how do i do this can i use the same account or start another one

  • Can i use the same power cord to charge my iPhone and my iPad.

    I have an iPhone 5 and an iPad Air. The connection pins are the same, the ony difference is the size of the plug square.
    thanks,
    marcia

    The Cables are identical no difference.
    The Plugs are of different power outputs.
    You can use the larger iPad charger to charge both the iPhone and the iPad.
    And while you can use the smaller iPhone charger to charge the iPad it will take longer to charge due to the lack of power, and the iPad will need to be in sleep mode for it to actually charge.

  • Can we use the same electrical charger of IPhone 5 to IPod classic

    Hi,
              This is Rayudu. Recently I purchased iPhone 5 and 4 years back I purchased IPod classic 120 GB.
              My question is - Using the electrical plug of iPhone 5 can we charge iPod classic ? I will use the same USB cable of iPod classic, Only the electrical plug I am going to use of iPhone 5 's.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks for your replies in advance.

    Yes, you can use the iPhone 5 charger with the classic's charging cable to charge any older iPod or iPhone. An iPad would require the larger 10w charger.

  • In OSX 10.8, can I use the same apple id to get updates for iPhoto and iMovie?

    Hi, so there are several sites that I work at that have multiple OSX 10.8 devices. I was wondering if there was a way that I can use the same apple ID to update iPhoto or iMovie? Apparently its needed for updates now. Alternatively, is there a way that I can do basic updates with out putting in an apple ID? A few dozen is no problem, but there are more than that which need to be updated. And frankly, its becoming a pain.

    You may only do that on machines you own. Other users must have their own Apple IDs and purchase the software for themselves. If these are enterprises, then contact Apple. They have special programs for enterprise purchasing.

  • Can you use the same external hard drive for Time Machine backups and as an additional storage drive?

    I have an external HD that I've been using exclusively for Time Machine backups. I need to clear space on my hard drive, so I was thinking to move music & photos to an external drive.  Wondering if I can use the same one I have (which I'll aslo keep using for Time Machine) or if I need to get another drive. 

    Hi Jossydtaylor,
    Time Machine can use either an entire external disk or a partition of that disk:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Disks you can use with Time Machine
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11171
    You can use Time Machine with a Time Capsule, and with USB, FireWire, and Thunderbolt disks. The backup disk can be directly connected to your computer or be on a network. If the backup disk has been divided into partitions, you can use one of the partitions.
    If the disk is partitioned using the Master Boot Record (MBR) partition type, some partitions may not be available for use with Time Machine. The GUID Partition Table (GPT) partition type is recommended.
    For more info on partitioning, see this article:

  • HT5622 Can I use the same apple ID for imessage on my Mac and iPad?

    Today I attempted to send and iMessage from my iPad. The message began to send but the loading bar stopped when it was almost finished and an exclamation point appeared next to the message. I am connected to my house wifi, and I have never had a problem with iMessage up to this point. A couple of months ago I bought a Mac and I am using the same Apple ID and Email for iMessage on that. I am wondering if the reason iMessage has stopped working on my iPad has to do with the fact that I am using the same account for my computer?

    Then it wouldn't appear that your home network is the problem either. Try turning Messages off on the iPad, reboot the iPad and the turn Messages on again and see if that fixes it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Can I use the same power cord on my MBA and MBP?

    Traveling with a friend using a MBP, I have MBA. to save weight/space can we use either power cord with both?

    Yes, but take his. His will charge yours fine while yours may be a little short on wattage for his.
    Be aware of the different angle of attachment of course.

  • Can I use the same hard drive to back up my photos and also do Time Machine backups?

    I bought a 1T external hard drive today for my MacBookPro with the intentions of backing up my iPhoto library, and then deleting it to make more space on my hard drive.
    I also tried and failed to install Time Capsule because my Verizon modem won't let Time Capsule run with it unless I use Time Capsule as my wireless.
    That said, I want to back up my computer, and even though I copied my iPhoto library already, I have plenty of space to do a Time Machine backup as well.
    Is this something I can do? Please let me know. After two hours on the phone with Apple only to learn Time Capsule was a waste of money, I'm hoping I don't need to buy another external HD yet…

    If you want to use the drive for both TimeMachine and storage, attach the drive and then open Finder > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.  Choose the new hard drive from the left sidebar, and then in the main panel choose Partition.
    Choose the number of partitions to be two.  Click the first partition and change the size if you do not want the default half of the drive.  Name the partition (such as Backups), then accept the default format Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) and the partition table as GUID.  Click Apply and confirm you want to erase the drive.
    Then do the same for the second partition, but of course, give it a different name.
    When finished Quit Disk Utility.
    Turn ON TimeMachine in System Preferences and direct it to your backup partition.

  • How can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    I have two iPads.. an iPad and an ipad 2.  I registared my new ipad 2 and now my old ipad is will not let me log on and is telling me that my e-mail address is already in use.  how can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    And by using the same Apple ID you can also share purchases.  If you have a different Apple ID for each iPhone then you can't share purchases.

  • Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different?  When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

    Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different?  When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Can I use the same wall adapter to charge my ipad and my ipod

    Can I use the same wall adapter to charge my ipad and my ipod touch

    No offense, but that's nice. I heard I was wrong and that what I said didn't make sense, so I simplified it. If I'm wrong, fine, but you have no reason to be such a *****. You never explained why I was wrong and you were right, so how am I or anyone else suppose to know that for sure? Then I tell you my source, and you insult me some more and then ask for my background, which as for this area goes, I already gave you. I worked at an Apple store for Christmas and was told by someone on the Genius team to tell customers not to charge iPads via iPhone chargers, as they had been known to fry the adapter or in one weird case, the actual outlet. Now I could see the outlet blowing be a bunch of other contributing factors, and not directly associated with the charger. However, the topic arose when a customer came in because her iPhone wall adapter didn't seem to be working, but wasn't that old, and admitted to charging her iPad with it. Why would I NOT believe that?
    And my DEEPEST apologies on commenting on old threads. I know how vital that is to existance and what an inconvenience it is to EVERYONE else. I'll be honest, I wasn't checking dates as I assumed suggested posts with like one answer near the top of the list were newer.
    Fine, I did something foolish, but I still win as I'm not either of you heartless ****** with nothing better to do than Internet harass others. Congratulations on your existences.
