Change 220v 110v

Hi!!!
I'm in USA for one year, and i've brought with me my european mac book pro. Is there any problem for using the european adaptator for charge (220v) in the USA (110v) It's going to destroy my battery in te end?
Thank you!!!

Could you change the 110v ac adapter to 220v?

Could you change the 110v ac adapter to 220v, Could you change the 110v ac adapter to 220v?, Could you change the 110v ac adapter to 220v?
I bought the Iphone4s in Canada but, I need a 220v ac adapter.
So I asked apple canada for that but, they don`t have 220v ac adapter.

I know but tha charger's shape is different so, i need circle one. Like UK's adapter.

I am going to Chile and want to charge my iPad. I bought a dual wattage converter (changes 220V to 110V0, but it says to not use with computers... Would that include my iPad?

I am going to Chile and want to charge my iPad while I am there. I bought a dual wattage converter (changes 220V to 110V), but it says to not use with computers. Would this include my iPad?

Somewhat much later query but I do have a related one. I've purchased my iPad 2 in India in October past. Using an adaptor for Canada I seem to have no problems charging it. Now I'm travelling to Chile and I see there is a 'similarity' in the two prongs on the electrical cord which came with the iPad (India) AND a similar pair of dual prongs used in Chile. I note Chile also uses a 3 - prong (horizontal) outlet. Query - Should I have any concern re the different currents used ; Canada 120V - 60 Hz versus Chile 220 - 50 Hz, or as noted earlier the iPad takes care of that with its built in converter. Thank You.

Mac Pro power supply. Is it possible to change from 110V to 240v

I recently found out that I'll be relocating from New York, USA to London, UK. Does anyone know if it's possible change the input voltage of a mac pro from the 110 volts used in the US to the 240 volts used in the United Kingdom? or should I just rely on a step up/down voltage converter?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
taken from the MacPro tech specs http://support.apple.com/kb/SP11
*Electrical and environmental requirements*
ENERGY STAR configurations available
Line voltage: 100-120V AC or 200-240V AC (wide-range power supply input voltage)
Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz single phase
Current: Maximum of 12A (low-voltage range) or 6A (high-voltage range)
Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)
Storage temperature: -40° to 116° F (-40° to 47° C)
Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
Maximum altitude: 10,000 feet
So no converter needed, just a different power-plug connector.
And a hearty welcome to the 'old-world'

Mac SE/30: handles 110V/230V automatically?

Hello,
my old Macintosh SE/30 works fine here in Europe, with the 230V voltage system. But I can't find any of the usual switches to change to 110V. As I move to Canada I wonder if the power supply is automatically dealing with it or if I better not connect the SE/30 over there?
(not that I do much with the old boy anymore but you won't kill an Icon, eh?)
Thanks & Regards,
Marc

According to this article, 48-62 Hz, and nominal 120-240 Volts presents no problem:

Travel with iPad to China

Do I need a converter to use my iPad in China? I have a plug adapter, but do I need a converter to change 220V to 110V in order to use my iPad safely?

Yes. But to be sure look at the small writing on the charger. It should say 100 volts to 220 volts or similar.

Charging the Touchpad in Europe.

I've been living in Germany since Jan and have been using a 220V-110V transformer to plug my charger in to. Is that necessary or can I just use a plug adapter and plug directly in to a 220V wall socket. From looking at the writing on the plug, I suspect I can, but want to verify.
I don't want to fry my Tablet.
Thanks!

Yes. You will need the prongs for Germany AC outlets. I tried to search the HP Germany website and tried to find the prongs but my German is not up to par. I can understand some of the words but gave up the search due to my limited undrstanding of the language.
I even searched on the HP U.S. page but could not find the plugs. This may be due to it being the U.S. page and only has U.S based accessories.

Convert 2320 MFP printer from 220v to 110v

I have some HP2320 mfp printers that were mistakenly ordered to operate on 220 volts. How can I convert them to operate on 110 volts? Is it only the power supply that must be changed to accomplish this? If so, I have some defective 2320s that I could take the power supply out of.
I could use a step up transformer but prefer not to take that route.

I do not see a listing for the poser supply, but the fuser has different versions for the 110V and 220V versions. See the HP parts site and search for the laserjet 2320.

220v to 110v

I have bought an iMac in New Zealand in 2010, which is running on 220v. I will move to the US now. What adapter do I need to run my iMac safely on 110v?

Without knowing your iMac's model number it's difficult to say. Not really sure how much the cord has changed over the years if at all.
http://www.ifixmaccomputers.com/922-9267-power-cord-us-canada-imac-late-2009 lists a bunch pf cords with the model numbers they work with. The other thing is to wait till you get to the US and go to an Apple store for assistance.
There shouldn;t be a problem plugging in the iMac as the power supply automatically switches for the line voltage and frequency. Just make sure the outlet in the US is the standard 110v/60hz.

Can I use SCXI 1000 (110v US model) in 220V 50Hz country?

Somebody is selling SCXI 1000 with couple modules to me at a very good
price. However, it is a US model(110V) while in my region we use 220V
50Hz. Can I use a fransformer to convert 220V to 110V and use
with this chassis? Are there any know issues? This will be used for
hobby projects. Not a mission critical task
Thank you.

just4fun,
Let me start my response by saying that most likely there should not be
any problems with using a transformer. If I were you, I would
purchase a voltage adaptor that also changes the frequency of the power
supply from 50 Hz to 60 Hz. Neglecting to change the frequency
could cause problems in some devices that have power supplies not
intended for 60Hz VDC power (this could lead to a noisy DC power line).
With that said, the newer SCXI chassis can handle the different
voltage levels without a voltage adaptor, but you are supposed to
change the fuse inside the power supply to a lower amp fuse if you
switch from 110 to 220. You should be able to determine what
types of power you can connect to the scxi-1000 (110V/60Hz or
220V/50Hz) by reading the labels on the back of the SCXI chassis.
If the labels on the back of the SCXI chassis make no sense, feel free
to reply with the info from the labels in an email and I can help you
decipher them.
I hope this helps,

All of them three operates on 110v USA. but i need them to use in 220V . Can anyone recommend me any good Voltage converter ?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Before go out to buy a converter/transformer (you need over 2KW for all 3 of them), please check the switches at the back, they may have switches to switch from 110V to 220V. I don't know your market, my suggestion: talk with an electrician who knows the real world much better.

Travel adapter 220V to 110V

I'm traveling to Mongolia with a 3GS and need to know if all I need is a simple plug adapter or whether I need a plug adapter and step-down voltage converter for my iPhone. I understand the concept of a plug adapter simply allowing a different plug type to access the same voltage (220V in this case), but I worry that the charger and iPhone won't be able to handle the 220V when its built for 110V power here in the US.
Any thoughts?

I also raised that question some months ago. If you have the latest plug from Apple, all you will need is the plug adapter. I always travel with both....the plug adapters and a voltage converter in case I, or someone in my group, have an older appliance.

HT1476 if i bought my ipod touch 32gb in germany where the voltage is 220v and i live in America where the voltage is 110, i will have to wait to get to my home to charge it for first time or I can charge it here and change the voltage of the battery in A

please i need help, im worried that if I connect my ipod here, it will burn or sometihng bad.

Just connect it to a computer's USB port.
Most wall chargers are dual voltage (110- 220 volts) and only require a plug adopter. Check the wall charger to see if yours is.

I have just shifted to India where the voltage is 220V vs 110V used in US. will the apple tv work directly or do i need a step down convertor to use it?- tks sahil

You only need a plug adaptor as long as the voltage is between 100 and 240 volts.

HT1981 I will use my 110V MacBook in the Philippines which has 220V sockets. Will the World Travel Adapter Kit help me?

Assuming you're in North America now, you probably won't need any sort of plug adaptor there; most sockets in the Philippines are the same as those in North America. In case you do, it doesn't contain the correct adaptor.
Voltage conversion is handled by the MacBook without any additional components.
