Canadian power cord for my Imac

I am bringing my Imac from the UK to Canada..can I just replace the power cable, and where would I get one?

The iMac intel can handle all voltages.  Just need to get the right adapter for the wall end.  Radio Shack frequently stocks those.  G5 iMacs from 2005 or earlier are different, and only support unique voltage for Canada and U.S.  Which iMac do you have?

  • Place to purchase 2cd power cord for iSight iMac?

    Anyone know where I can buy a second power cord for a 17" iSight iMac? I've been searching the web but no luck yet.
    Why would I need one? My new iSight iMac is going to live in a computer cabinet in front of a difficult to access wall outlet/power strip. I'd like to be able to move the computer around the house to watch DVDs in comfort (hurray for Front Row!), and a second power cord will make this transition a lot easier.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    How fussed are you about aesthetics? Have a dead electric jug or kettle or stereo amp at home? See if the cord fits.
    Cheers

  • 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 where I can buy the power cord for intel imac

    i lost the power wire to my imac and i don't know  where to buy it
    anyone know where can I get it  and how much it costs?

    Newer iMacs use ordinary computer power cords commonly used on all sorts of electronic equipment.
    The power cord used on G5 iMacs (I think) is different but is also readily available. Either one will cost you less than $10.

  • Power cord for G5

    Where can I get a new power cord for an imac G5?

    You can use any computer power cord. You can take one from a pc or even a monitor.

  • I'm using an eMac power cord on an iMac G5 and the screen is a blue tinted color. No true colors are displayed.

    I just realized I was using an eMac powercord on my G5 iMac.
    Make a difference at all? Does it screw up my computer?
    I have a weird screen problem anything to do with this?

    I can't see how that would make a difference.  But use the proper power cord for the iMac, if you have it. 
    To see if this is software or settings related, if you have a way to boot from a different system, such as a Mac OS X installation disk, start up from that other system and see if you still have the "blue tinted color."
    If the problem recurs, you should do these two procedures to Reset PRAM and Reset SMU, to see if there is any improvement

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1767
    When you do the Reset SMU procedure, if you have been connecting the power cord to an old or over-crowded power strip (surge suppressor), try connecting it to a wall outlet by itself, to see if that makes any difference.
    If that does not help, there may be a hardware-related problem.

  • I need to purchase a power cord for my intel based 27" iMac.  I have had it for almost 2 years, I don't have apple care and I don't want to take it in to the genius bar. I know it's the power cord and I just want to purchase one.

    iMacs take generic power cords. If it fits into the back of the iMac and an electrical socket, it'll work.
    Good luck.

    Anyone having the same problem?

    Makes no difference if anyone is having the same problem.  The important thing is that it's happening to YOU!
    You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked. 
    Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out.  Let Apple deal w/the problems.

  • Power cord for I Mac

    Hi!
    Where can I find power cord for new I Mac? I have US power cord, but I need one to use in UK. On apple store You can find travel kit for mac book, but for I mac is hard to find anything like that.

    Unfortunately, They're not an officially purchasable object from Apple, although any ole "Kettle Cable" as they're known, will work for your iMac. You could try asking at an Apple store. They may have a spare they can give you.

  • HT201897 Does a Mac Mini purchased in the USA require a power converter for operation in Europe or should I only purchase a different power cord for it?

    Does a Mac Mini purchased in the USA require a power converter to operate outside of the USA or can I simply purchase a different power cord for it?

    Depending on which European country (should their mains access plug/port shape vary) the
    cord set with correct ends on it has to match. You can buy a cord that plugs into the Mini
    where the factory cord goes, and the other end has one for the wall source shape. The wire
    for the application should be able to support 110~240VAC.
    With the cord or an accurate image in hand, you could either get a new cable to match both
    realities (mini + wall supply mains local) or an adapter (US/Standard to EU/Local) for just
    the head or input part of the original Apple cable. One plugs into the other, then into wall.
    If you have a new Mini with a small modular plug/port on the computer end of the power wire,
    it would have only two holes and no ground; the other end would have two prongs of equal
    shape and size. Not a polarized plug and not a grounded three-prong. To get a replacement
    power wire for the MINI to go from power source to the Mini is recommended, if you are going
    to be staying in one location for awhile. A Travel Kit that offers no electrical conversion but only
    the physical shape adapter kit, should a available in travel stores, airports; big box discount
    stores, computer and electronic stores. This page shows the cord end of the appliance shapes.
    The other end would be the mains shape for whichever country you are going to....
    http://www.signalandpower.com/European-Power-Cords/
    So to match the country or regional power mains type is a primary concern for obtaining the
    correct replacement cord to supply the Mini with local mains power. The end which plugs into
    the Mini is of a certain type (numbers for EU and elsewhere are published, see link + images)
    & the end that gets plugged into the mains or utility side, needs to match the local specification.
    The link to Apple, to contact for Support and Service information in prior post, should be able
    to help find a source for the local replacement type cord they'd sell local people with a Mini.
    Apple local sources offer replacements for this purpose; and for travelers, a second cord for
    a direct use (not adapter plugs) is a better bet. For those who only need a cord in two places.
    If you are traveling to Denmark, UK, Swiss or other EU countries require different adapters.
    Even places where the power itself may be somewhat similar. However your MINI has an
    automatic power supply that will conform to that energy standard, you only need to supply a
    correct non-transforming adapter. Simply a connection to adapt one shape to another.
    The general purpose travel kit that is not specialized to Apple power adapters, would have a
    plastic plug/adapter with the local pins on one side, and the US/standard two slots on the other.
    So, no circuitry nor any other change of electrical power inside this device would be required.
    http://www.signalandpower.com/2-Prong-Plug-Adapters/
    http://www.signalandpower.com/Convert-to-Europe-CEE-716-plug/
    http://www.signalandpower.com/Swiss-AC-Power-Cords/
    In other words, I believe my other post already covered this. On the ground on either end of the
    path, adapters are common and the Mini does not use proprietary electrical components IF you
    have one of the more recent shape aluminum models with the power supply built in. The older
    Mini has the power brick and two wires. A US/Standard plug adapter to EU/Local would work in
    either case, since all you'd do is plug the adapter plug into the local mains and the US plug into
    that one... I see these kinds of discards for as little as 25¢ in thrift stores in Alaska. Or you can
    buy a new one. Or you could get a complete cord with correct ends on it, for Mini + local mains.
    Hopefully this helps somewhat. The only info missing is which EU country or region is involved.
    Their shapes of plug are different, so the adapter end for local supply has to match their standard.
    Swiss, Denmark, UK, and others offer different shapes and so on.
    The Apple store in the location you are traveling should be able to supply you with a replacement
    cable for a modern MINI, that has the correct local mains end, and the correct Apple mini end on
    the opposite. Since the unit is automatically switching, the magic is done.
    Since I supplied a means to locate any number of Apple stores, authorized service providers &
    other Apple related vendors in my earlier reply: https://locate.apple.com/country you could contact
    any of them along your route in the City in whichever EU country, to find a local MINI power cable.
    In any event, I'm done...
    Good luck and happy trails...

  • Power Cord for Italy/Europe?

    Hi folks. I have the 85w AC adapter with the power cord for the US.
    I realize I can get an adapter for the plugs in Italy, but I was wondering if I could order the AC cord that goes from the wall to the adapter.
    Basically I'm looking for the Euro version of 922-5463 AC Adapter Power Cord.
    This isn't a huge priority, since I have the world travel kit and a set of adapters, but I figure since I'll be travelling alot (if I get the job) it might be a good idea to have the native cord rather than constantly use adapters.
    I'd also like to keep the machine grounded as often as possible. The travel set doesn't appear to support grounding.

    Nevermind, I found what I needed on eBay.
    I went to eBay's Italian portal and searched for AC cord un the Apple section.
