Charging my battery in A foreign country, charging my battery in A foreign country

How should I go about charging my iPhone and IPad in Italy?  Do I need a converter?

The iPhone charger is universal, and will work anywhere in the world. You just need a plug adapter between the charger and the wall outlet. You can get these from Apple or any computer or electronics store, anywhere in the world.

  • Service Battery after charging in Foreign Country

    Hello, I am currently visiting Japan and today is my second day here. After coming here for two days, my mac popped up a message saying Service Battery.
    Before coming to Japan, I've used my laptop in Malaysia for 6 months and UK for 1 year and nothing happened.
    This only happened after charging my macbook in Japan with a converter. Could it really be my macbook battery needs replacement or is it under-powered?

    Hello buddy, thanks for your swift reply. I just notice while investigating the plugs and converters, I saw that the plug converter (sorry for the misunderstanding there, its a plug converter) has an output of 250v whereas my macbook charger description only indicates its 100v-240v.
    Would that extra 10v cause this to my macbook? The solution that I hope will work is to drain out all the 250v from the battery and recharge it at a 240v outlet.

  • If I've set up my phone in a foreign country and I'm traveling, if I make a purchase on iTunes will I be charged in my country of origin or in the country I'm in

    You will be purchasing from the same store as before so yes it will charge as usual in your country currency that you are registered with.

  • How can i charge my iPad in a foreign country?

    I am planning a trip to israel and want to take my iPad with me for pictures and internet access. How can i charge it on the electrical outlets there? I have a transformer but the instructions state that it is not for computers. Also, is the battery life lower if I take lots of pictures? Thanks! (:

    All of Apple's chargers work from 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz power. You only need an adapter plug to fit the type used in the country you visit.
    If you have an iPhone and an iPad, just take the iPad charger since it can also be used to charge the iPhone.
    Using the iPad always discharges the battery, but taking lots of pics should not cause it to discharge excessively.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Charging powerbook in foreign country

    I am going on a trip to Greece, and was wondering how I could charge my powerbook there. My regular converter says do not use with a computer, so I was wondering if anyone knew if there was something special I needed.
    Thanks

    Hi davekies
    Your Powerbook power adaptor will work just fine with foreign current. All you need is a travel-plug adaptor to change the pins.

  • Will I get charged by verizon for using free wireless in a foreign country

    Hello, Sorry if this question has been asked before.
    I am in a foreign location right now. DO not have any international plans with Verizon (just domestic USA phone minutes, and internet).
    I notice that my droid-2 picks up the free wireless in the hotel and connects to internet with full functionality.
    Will Verizon charge me for this, even though I am using free wireless?
    I could not seem to find this answer on verizon's FAQ's.
    DOnt want a giant internet access bill for simply using hte phone as a device to check email!!!

    If you are talking about WiFi wireless, no. If you are talking about 3G / "Data" wireless, yes, very much so.
    Since you mention "hotel wireless" I assume you're talking about WiFi so you should be fine. If you are in most of Europe, you're probably fine as there is very little support for CDMA in Europe. Asia is a different story, that does support CDMA in many locations, so you could be data roaming.

  • Charger always surges outlet before functioning in a foreign country?

    I brought my macbook abroad and I know that the power charger works abroad. However, I've had a lot of issues with it surging the outlet at first before it works. After we reswitch the breakers it works fine, but I'd like to avoid this issue whenever possible!
    Any ideas?

    Since you already have plans to have the MacBook checked out, be sure and take the charger/cables along and have the whole set checked.  The techs can make sure there is nothing wrong in the charger.

  • Purchasing a Magsafe charger in a foreign country

    Hi all,
    My official 60w Magsafe charger for my 13" Macbook Pro (late 2011) flayed and is no longer useable. I purchased the laptop in Australia but currently reside in Germany. Is it ok to use an official 60w Magsafe charger purchased here in Germany with my Australian Macbook Pro?
    The store I would like to purchase it from (http://www.saturn.de/mcs/product/APPLE-60-Watt-MagSafe-Netzteil-f%C3%BCr-13-Zoll --MacBook-Pro-MC416Z-A,48352,325522,322755.html?langId=-3) lists these details: 'Apple 60 Watt Magsafe for 13 inch Macbook pro MC416Z/A'. I have no idea what these last numbers refer to or if it would affect my laptop.
    Much obliged.

    Thank you for the speedy response.
    Good to hear. I was just a little concerned about the differing model numbers. The German retailers list the model as MC416Z/A whilst the Australian retailers MC461X/A. Do you know what these codes might be referencing? My only guess is the plug type...

  • Just bought MD367B/A Ipad WI-FI Cellular 32GB black so far no success ? on 'booting up' No Icons appear, after the 'APPLE symbol goes A k/b appears on the screen in a foreign language (Arabic I think?) When charging Battery I get no indication 'on screen'

    Sorry if the heading is long, but i thought I was in the letter mode, anyway but as you can see it would appear I have a problem! after watching YOUTUBE IPOD videos on my 'desktop' , it all looks pretty straight forward?  I think I managed to register using Itunes
    so 'WHAT'S UP DOC'? thanks in anticipation

    Unless you get that WRT54G for free or next to free, pass on it and pick up an old apple WAP off eBay or similar site. Like you my iPad has a connectivity problem with the WRVS4400N running iOS 4.2.1, where it didn't have trouble with iOS 3.2.2 and ran fine for five months.
    My solution at the office was to spur a second router off my DSL router just for the iPad. The first was a WRT54G that had to be set to only one 802.11 protocol to keep the iPad reliably connected, but swapped it out for an old airport extreme that I kept on after testing it to be good. With a home network like you describe, I would run a subnet off the WRVS4400N just for iPad using an apple WAP (the configuration app for Windows is easy to use).
    Good luck.

  • My brand-new iPod touch (5th Gen) battery takes a very long time to fully charge, even while not in use. Why is this and what should I do?

    Just recently bought a brand-new iPod touch, 5th generation. To be exact, got it two days ago, this past Saturday, on 12/13/2014. Initially, when I first turned it on, it had a fully charge and I didn't need to charge it. I also didn't see anything in the very small and limited start-up guide you receive with it to charge it for a certain amount of time before use, or to use it until the battery dies, then charge all the way, like a lot of electronic devices have you do when you first purchase them.
    So I was assuming I didn't need to do anything like that. First question, should I have charged it for a period of time before use? Should I have used it until the battery died, then plugged it in and charged it fully before use? Or is none of this necessary initially and iPod batteries are good to go from the start?
    Please excuse me if this is an obvious question, as this is my first ever iPod. Anyways,like I said, nothing in the "instructions" said anything about that, so I didn't do it, I just used it until it got below 20% battery left, then I plugged it in.
    Now for the battery itself, it takes literally a day or so to fully charge, even while not in use. Even if I use it for a while, turn off the iPod to make sure it shuts off all background data and apps, and then plug it in to charge, it still charges extremely slowly. I've never seen a device take this long to charge. As for the battery life itself, I'd say at full charge it lasts about 4-5 hrs, maybe 6, and then I have to charge it again. Meanwhile it takes around 24 hours, without me using it, to fully charge. If I use it while its charging, the battery decreases faster than it charges, and eventually I'll get the typical "20% battery remaining" message pop up.
    I know it is charging, as the lightning symbol is next to the battery symbol. Specifically, right now, I plugged it in about 1 hr 30 minutes ago, and it has barely gone up. Also, whenever I press the home button to check the battery, I can see it jump down from about 50% to somewhere around 25%-30%. What is that about?
    This is really frustrating, and I'm seriously contemplating either taking it back and trying my luck with a different iPod, or just taking it back and getting my money back. Any help and clarification on this matter would be greatly appreciated, and I'll answer any questions I can to shed more light on this.

    It will take longer to charge the 5G's battery than either the 3G or 4G's battery.

  • My iPod dies!!! after the first battery charge cycle

    Hi,
    Last month I bought a 30GB iPod video through Amazon when I was on vacations on the US, now I'm in my hometown Lima (Peru)... well, for the month I had the iPod, everything worked fine, but I've never let the battery died, I mean I've always have it fully charged and never get the "not enougth battery message".. until yesterday when it suddenly stops playing.
    Well I tough it was nothing so I turn the iPod on again and there was the Apple logo (it was the second time I saw it, the first was on the firmware update), then I get the not enough battery sign, I tougth it was ok.... then I get home, connect to the USB port I always use to synchronize it, and NOTHING happens!!!, the computer does not reconigze it, and it doesn't turn on either, there's nothing on the screen, but I did have noticed something: the iPod was hot, I immediately disconnect it from the USB (it was plugged for about 10 seconds), I've tried to reset it (procedure I've just learned since I've never had any problems with the iPod)... and no matter what i did, it didn't turn on.
    I don't think the problem is the USB port because I try to connect a USB drive, and it works.
    The questions is...what can I do to fix it?, I'm sure my iPod is covered by the "Apple One-Year Limited Warranty" but the problem is that I'm in Lima!! do I have to send the iPod to the US?? pleeease help me!! I save a year to be able to buy an iPod and now it isn't working!!
    Thanks in advance.
    AMD Athlon XP 2400+ Windows XP Pro

    Thank u, Ryan, Masna and Kpxjoon...and of course I've tried the 5 R's... I think I've read every single post to find if anyone had a similar problem.. anyway
    So.. Broken? how? ... well that's what I thought in first place, that I would have to send the it for service, the biggest problem is that I'm not in the US now, I bought the iPod on the US through Amazon (the shipping address was on the US too)... well now in Lima (Peru), I live here and I wouldn't return to the US anytime soon, Does the warranty still work in here??
    I went to iPod Service Request site... and bad news for me again "If you cannot find the country you are looking for.... If you live outside these countries, please contact your local Apple Authorized Service Provider."
    I found some Authorized Service Centers in Lima, do I have to take the iPod to them and they will fix or replace it with no charge, even though I purchase the iPod on the US??... it was my biggest worry since the beginning...
    The iPod and it's package is in perfect shape, it evens has the plastic wrap, which it comes with...and I keep it in a case, so there's almost no scratches on it, and it's just a MONTH old!!!...I'm not worry about the data, 'cause everything is on my iTunes Library... I just want my iPod back
    Sorry for posting so often, Thank u very much for ur time

  • Quick battery charge and drain

    Hi,
    I hope somebody will be able to help / explain this issue to me - I bought the z3c two days ago (haven't charged it for 30 min before first use, really don't know if this could be an issue), and I have noticed that unlike most people's charging time (which is about 2.5-3 hours) mine is around 1.5 hours on the micro usb charger (1% per 1 minute), and the battery drains quickly with a bit heavier usage. I upgraded it automatically to lollipop, and I did a factory reset afterwards when I noticed that the battery was draining quickly. Google location services have been disabled, I only keep the auto sync on from time to time.
    Is there a possibility that something is wrong with the battery or am I just doing something wrong with the applications etc? Should I wait a couple of days to see how the battery behaves? (I'm sorry if this question has been repeated somewhere else already).

    Hi Nerie
    Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    You have taken some good steps so far to troubleshoot the problem. Have you tried putting the phone on Stamina mode and/or Low battery mode? These functions are designed to maximise the battery life. As well as turning off Google location services you can also turn off Bluetooth, Wi-Fi & Mobile data when not using them. Also try turning the screen brightness down as I can see the Screen is using the most power. Turn off phone or put into Airplane mode when there is no network coverage in the area as the phone repeatedly scans for available networks - which consumes power. 
    Hope the above steps do help, keep us updated.

    The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on...  What is wrong?  Can photos and data be retrieved?

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem  due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup
