Charger use in Europe

Hey everyone,
I bought an American MacBook, but now I'm going back to Europe. Can I use my charger safely on the Dutch electricity net? It's 220 volts and I know that the American amount of volts is lower.
Am I going to blow up my Mac when I plug it in?
Thanks!

All Apple power adapters are universal worldwide chargers that can handle 100-240 V AC at 50 or 60 Hz. The adapter you got in the US is identical to those sold by Apple for use around the world. The basic difference will be the plug (and/or cable) that attaches to the charger.
You could either get the Apple Travel Kit or just a passive adapter. You might also be able to find the plug alone for your home country at a local Apple Retail Store (if there is one) or an Apple retailer. Your adapter handles 220 V just fine.

  • My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable usin ghte same wall plug in the same wall socket?

    My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
    Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?

    Hi there Apples or Pears,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the articles below.

    Hvae you tried here:

    Have you tried another cable?
    Look at the dock connector. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic

My sister has the same ipod as me and has no problems charging hers on our computer. Please Help me!!

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Mophie iPhone 5 Case - iPhone will no longer charge using the apple cable.

    Hi All,
    In July, I purchased a Mophie Case for my iPhone 5. Everything was going great until I realized a few months later that my iPhone would no longer charge using my apple cable. It would only charge using my mophie. Turns out my husband, who also has a mophie case, was experiencing the same issue, my case is the mophie Juice Pack Air and my husbands is the mophie Juice Pack Helium Battery Case. Later I was telling this to a friend at work and she mentioned having the exact same this happen to her phone after using a mophie.
    I contacted mophie, not to try and get anything, just to let them know and see if they had any ideas.... well they were not receptive at all. They said,  "I do not think that the juice packs could have done that to your phones. I would need some sort of objective evidence." I said that multiple customers experience is evidence, to which they said "I need objective evidence. Simply because a person thinks they know the cause, doesn't mean they do. If there was an Apple engineer saying that it was the cause...heresay does not constitute solid evidence."
    So yeah... apparently a customer calling to let them know their experience is meaningless to them. So I am turning to the apple community. Has anyone ever experienced this with there mophie. Any ideas why this may have happened? We have only used the cord that came with the case and apple cables on our phones.
    Any info you have would be appreciated.
    Thanks so Much,
    Jamye

    Mophie was not denying that you had a problem charging your phone. What they were telling you was that what you don't have is proof that the mophie case caused the problem. It might be, it might not be. As the saying goes, correlation does not prove causality. What troubleshooting steps have you taken? 
    I used first the mophie Helium and then a mophie SpacePak on my 5S without it imparing my ability to charge it with my Apple cables or other lightning cables (Belkin car charger). And I've known many other people who haven't had a problem.

  • Can US Apple TV be used in europe?

    I am planning to buy an Apple TV for a relative in Belgium as a gift. Would it work? or is there an european version of Apple tv?

    Can US Apple TV be used in europe?
    yes.
    just get a new power cord (preferable) or an adapter for the wall outlet.
    one issue you may be running into is wireless channels
    (click on image to enlarge)
    meaning, if your router broadcasts on a certain radio channel, your device may not be able to connect to it. changing the channel (or hardwiring the unit to the network) would take care of it, though.

  • The iPad Mini does not charge using a laptop

    My brand new iPad Mini does not charge using my macbook pro, but it does when is connected to de ac power wall adapter !!!

    That is the way is is supposed to work. Your MBP does not supply enough power to charge the battery efficiently. It may be charging, but at a trickle rate and it will show as not charging. That is why a power adapter is included with the iPad. Use it.
    Read more about charging the battery here.

  • I would like to know if iphone 5 GSM model A1429 unlocked is available in stores in the US in order to buy and use in Europe

    I would like to know if iphone 5 GSM model A1429 is unlocked and is available in stores in the US in order to buy and use in Europe. Please let me know.
    Thanks
    ST

    Not officially for sale in the US, at the present time, although Apple's flagship store on 5th Ave, in New York City, gets supplies from time-to-time. However, no GSM US model iPhone 5 will support LTE anywhere other than North America. It will not support LTE in Europe. If you want LTE support in Europe, you need to purchase your phone in Europe.

  • Will using iphone while charging use up battery cycle?

    battery capacity decreases as we repeat charging / using the phone.
    but what if we use it while it is being charged? will it just use power from
    the power source or charge+use up batter at the same time?
    i hope it can just use draw power from the external power source and leave
    the battery alone if it's full, then I can just use bluetooth and leave
    the phone in the dock to not waste battery cycles.

    There are two issues here. A cycle is the EQUIVALENT of one complete use of the battery from fully charged to depleted. But it can take place over multiple uses and charges. There is no way to avoid using cycles (or portions of them) other than leaving the phone plugged in all the time. Which brings us to issue two:
    The worst thing you can do to your battery (other than letting it get very hot) is to leave it plugged in all the time. This is not because it will overcharge. As others have pointed out, the phone is smart enough to prevent overcharging. But li-ion polymer batteries like to get some "exercise" to say fresh. Apple recommends the equivalent of at least one cycle per month. If it's plugged in constantly, it will not get enough exercise and its capacity will diminish.

  • When I try to charge the phone it says for faster charge use original cable

    Just got my Note 3 late yesterday afternoon. When I try to charge the phone it says for faster charge use original cable and that is what I am doing. Even tried a different charger and it says the same thing so I have not been able to use my phone at all. Please help. I am going back to the store today when they open. Help!!!

        I want to help make it as easy possible to charge your device myluv2drive! Is this happening with the original charging cable itself or is this an alternate charger? Have you tried a battery pull since this started? Did this happen the first time you tried charging it? Any different response when trying alternate outlets?

    Let me get this straight. You have a brand new Apple wall charger. It does not work at home but it works fine at the store? Does it work at a neighbor's house?
    Sounds like you need to call an electrician to inspect your outlets at home.

  • I purchased an Ipad2 a few days ago and it will not charge using various car chargers. It connects but within a few minutes, it reads not charging. The car chargers work with the IPhone.

    I purchased an ipad2 and it doesn't charge using any of the car chargers we use for the iPhone. It connects but then reads not charging.

    I'm not surprised.  Most car outlets do not provide sufficient power for the iPad to charge, but will work fine with an iPhone.  Mine does the same thing.

    The iPhone from Dubai will never be able to have FaceTime. The iPhone country of origin (serial no. and imei no.) is the culprit. The government there has banned FaceTime.
