Charging in Europe w/ Belkin power adaptor. Do I need a voltage converter

Hi. I am taking my nano 3 to Italy and England and hope to charge it with the Belkin rotating power adaptor that allows me to charge by plugging into the house power here in the States. I know that I need to get adaptors for the outlets, but do I also need to get a converter? The Belkin Power Adapter does have 100-240V Input and 50-60HZ AC. I'm getting conflicting info.
Thanks,
Tim

but do I also need to get a converter?
No.

Does the iPad mini have a setting so it can be used with either 120 or 240 electrical current? If yes, how do you go about setting the desired input voltage? I will travel to Northern Europe and want to know if I will need a voltage converter.

The iPad charger is dual voltage. You need only a plug adapter to be able to plug your US charger into a European wall outlet. A basic one costs about $2.00. - $6.00. Like this...

No. All Apple power supplies are "universal". They will work anywhere in the world. You just need a plug adapter.

Do I need a voltage converter to power Macbook pro in UK?

Do I need a voltage converter to power a Macbook Pro in the UK?

You will need a socket adapter but no you don't need a voltage converter to take it anywhere in the world. I've lived on three continents with my MacBook, which I bought in Canada and now live in the UK.

HELP i cant charge my zen micro! (power adaptor troubl

I own a pink creative zen micro 5gig MP3 player. when i bought it, a special edition USB.2.0 power adaptor came with it, which is exclusi've to the 5gig zen micro mp3 players. this adaptor plugs into the wall, and charges the player, meaning i can charge my player anywhere without a computer.
well, now its stopped working. the charge just does not go through to the player, and i know it is because of a problem with the adaptor and not the player because the player still works when i connect it to a computer.
this is seriously irritating beacuse for some reason the player takes a huge amount of time to charge using my computer (as i write this it has been charging for almost and hour and the little charge level indicator in the corner of the screen has not changed from "completely empty")
what could be causing this and how do i fix it's

well, i've just figured out that for my player to charge through the computer, the zen software that comes with the player and allowes you to transfer music has to be installed. (kinda dumb for me not to realise, but it does seem rather unnessesary)
It's not needed, at least you need to update to one of the later firmwares. I suggest using the ..0 firmware, but you want to charge your battery up a bit first before trying to update.
With the ..0 firmware (and the later v2 firmwares) you can lock the charger (slide the power button over) then connect to USB and all the power is dedicated to charging the player.
but that still dosent solve the problem with the wall adaptor. no indicator shows when i plug it in, it just wont charge.
i used to leave the adaptor plugged into the wall when my player had finished charging, with the power socket left on. im starting to think that it may have screwed the adaptor.
I'm not sure what's up with your player or adapter. An adapter could fail but it's very rare. If you have a voltage meter you can check the outputs from the first and fourth pin, which should be 5V. Be careful though.
Leaving the adapter plugged in won't cause any issue to it, other than wasting a little electricity.

Green flashing re-charge status while using (Denki) power adaptor

Ipod 30Gb Video 5G is showing a green flashing re-charge status when connected to a power adaptor.
Is this natural, or am I frying my ipod?
Cannot find any such description in the manual.
Flash is green/white, and not green/amber as described elsewhere, while showing the lightening bolt.

Is there suppose to be a charging light when using the power adaptor?

I just bought the power adaptor for my ipod shuffle 2nd generation. I plugged the adaptor in the wall, connected my usb line , plugged in my ipod and there is no charging light to indicated if the ipod is charging. Should there still be an amber light to let me know if the ipod is charging with the power adaptor or not?

YES! There certainly should... I have an older version Apple Power Adapter (for the iPod Photo) and it lights up my Shuffle's status light.

US Power Adaptor in Europe?

Hi!
I partly live in Canada and Europe. I just bought a new MacMini and it comes with a power adaptor that has the following information printed on:
110 Watt, Input AC 100-120 V 50/60 Hz 2.0 A.
I read in this forum, that adaptors from previous models worked in europe too. Does anybody have experience with the new one? Does it work on 220 Volts as well or would I have to buy an extra adaptor from 220 V to 110V?
Part number is: ITE 4T18, E131881.
Thanks for your help!

Does it work on 220 Volts as well
No, it doesn't. The power adapter included with the new Mac mini sold in the US is for 110-120V only. So if you bought a Mac mini in the US, it's power adapter will not work in Europe without a converter. The Mac mini sold in Canada has a universal power adapter that would work on any voltage.
or would I have to buy an extra adaptor from 220 V to 110V?
Correct; you will indeed need a voltage converter.
Regards.

All you Need is an Adaptor for the Wall Plug of the Country (Countries) you will be in...
Everything Else will be Fine...

Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz

I am traveling to Spain and have a plug adaptor for my I phone 5. My power cord says it accepts 220 voltage, do I need to buy a voltage regulator or can I just use my regular power cord

I am travelling to Spain and purchased the plug which allows me to plug in my charging cable. Since the voltage there is 220 do I need a voltage converter. The tech at Radio Shack said no because the iphone plug lists the voltage as 100 to 220.

All genuine Apple power packs are multi voltage
100-240v 50/60hz and will work anywhere so no you just need the pin converter

MacBook Pro Hard-Drive and MagSafe Power Adaptor

I have just purchased a 15.4" MacBook Pro (Model number A1150) from eBay. The system was sold as being for spares or repair and because I'm up for a challenge and desperate to break away from my ties to Windows and move into the Mac world I thought I try the 'repair' route.
The system I have is model number A1150. It dates from early 2006 and has a 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo processor. Having opened the case up I found there is no hard drive installed so I need to purchase a new one. I know that the system shipped with an 80Gb SATA hard drive but I don’t have any more detailed information than that. Is anybody able to advise me what make, model and full specification of hard-drive I need to purchase to help bring this machine back to life?
In addition, the system did not have a MagSafe power adaptor so I need to purchase a new one. The technical specifications show that I need to get hold of an 85w MagSafe adaptor, but I believe there are different types of adaptor available now. Could somebody let me know what type of adaptor I need?
Thanks in advance – I’m sure I’ll have some more questions as I hit new obstacles!

Is a voltage converter necessary for charging an iPod in 220v countries?

I'm heading for New Zealand and Australia. Do I need a voltage converter for my iPod and iPad or just adapters?

The wall charger is dual voltage. You only need a plug converter for the iPad wall charger. The iPod does not come with a wall charger.

Battery charging and power adaptor issues

I'm having slight issues with both my power adaptor and the battery itself.
First I think I have cord issues as the light status can change from dim green to red or bright green if I move the cord around.
Second, my MBP is having trouble recognising if power is going to the battery or if it's charging etc. It can recognise if there's no adaptor connected at all, but if there's an adaptor connected, it has trouble seeing if there's power coming from the adaptor even if the light is on. I.e. it can stay at 100% and supply comes from the power adaptor and then suddenly drop to 80% power and start charging agan. One issue that happened earlier today was the adaptor was connected, and the battery indicator was at 100% with supply from the adaptor. Suddenly the MBP shutdown, and when I rebooted it was at 17% (I've tried repeating that in case of a dodgy battery but I couldn't)

If that doesn't help, the problem could be the adapter, the battery, or the I/O board (or a couple of less likely things). If you can borrow another adapter and/or battery, try them to see where the problem is. Or, if you're near an Apple Store, take it in and they'll diagnose it for you (for free, but they will charge for repairs if you need them and don't have AppleCare).

T61 power adaptors do nothing - won't run computer & won't charge battery

My T61 suddenly won't run on the power adaptor, or charge the battery. I have several OEM power adaptors and none of them do anything plugged into this T61. The computer runs fine on a battery charged in another T61.

Assuming the power adapters are good, you'll need to replace the motherboard.

HT201700 85W MagSafe power adaptor good for europe?

Can I use my existing power adaptor for my MacBook pro in Europe using the Apple World Traveling kit? Do I need an AC converter?

I did buy everything before I left the US... even bought one of the 220/110 converters at a luggage store - now I don't need that since the Apple World Kit works -- I was afraid of burning out my AC adaptor but it worked like a charm just using the Apple World Kit. They should label them - but not hard to figure out. I wish I could buy individual adaptors since I have an iPad, iPhone 5 and MacBook Pro with me. Lastly, I had to use my lighting cord for the iPhone 5.
