Do I need a power converter to use my USA purchased MacBook Pro 3,1 in Italy?

Do I need a power converter to use my MacBook Pro 3,1 in Italy?  I've had it for a few years, purchased and used in USA.

The block auto-switches to Europe power.  You just need an adapter for the final plug-end appropriate for Italy.

    Do I need a power converter to charge my US based iPhone5 in the U.K.?

    No, just an adapter to make the plug pins match our sockets. The charger is world compatible, apart from the plug shape.

  • Do I need a power converter for my ipad in Ireland?

    Do I need a power converter for my ipad2 and my macbook air (11 inch 2010) in Ireland?
    Sorry, I'm new to this site and just found the answer to my question in another post.

    I was on my way out earlier and didn't have time to see if easily bought in USA, but I also would have suggested a power strip for the UK. Also, not aware of Picachu's needs - if traveling with others, etc., ...
    For many years, once our sons got ipods, I have always brought a power strip (w/usb) on vacations and even on long weekends to weddings for all the items I listed above plus rechargeable tooth brushes, beard trimmers, and two ipads. It has made recharging so much easier. (I have friends in similar situations who hadn't thought to bring a power strip for charging things for their family all at once overnight.)
    So thanks for bringing it up. Meanwhile, Picachu got an answer early and without having checked 'get e-mail notif.' he/she might not have a clue. Still happy you brought it up.
    Thanks.

    If you are using the included Apple charger, you will simply need a plug adapter.

    I am traveling from the US to France and have a Macbook Pro. Can I just use a plug adaptor or do I need a power converter to plug in?

    Just an adapter to change the US plug style to the one in the country you are going to. The AC charger will do the rest. It is rated for 120-240 volts and will adjust on  its own.

  • Taking white MacBook from US to UK. Do I need a power converter?

    I recently purchased a white 13" MacBook for college, which is in the UK.
    Am I going to need a power converter for my MacBook when I go to the UK? The voltage in the US is 110V, and the voltage in the UK is 220V.
    Thanks!

    Your power adapter will work with 110 or 220 V. However, the actual 220 V socket is different. You'll need a little adapter that just converts the standard US outlet into the standard 220 V UK outlet. Apple sells a whole kit, but that's sort of overkill:

    I'm not sure which specific plug you would need. I'm sure someone here can chime on on which one would be appropriate then you can pick up just the plug you need vs. an entire kit.

  • Does my Macbook Air need a power converter in the UK?

    I am traveling to the UK soon - will I need a power converter for my MacBook Air, iPad and iPhone?
    thanks

    Input voltage for iPad and iPhone is same. 100 -240 Volts.
    You will need plug adapters for those power adapters.
    No converters are necessary.

  • I'm trying to upgrade 9.0 academic version to 9.1.7 to use on a new MacBook pro.  When I try to do incremental upgrades to 9.0.1 or 9.0. it says I don't need them.  When I try to upgrade to 9.1.7 it says there is no version eligible to upgrade.

    I'm trying to upgrade Logoc Pro 9.0 academic version to 9.1.7 to use on a new MacBook pro.  When I try to do incremental upgrades to 9.0.1 or 9.0.2 it says I don't need them.  When I try to upgrade to 9.1.7 it says there is no version eligible to upgrade. This all on the older MacBook currentlu running 9.0.  But I need to upgrade to 9.1.7 to transfer it over tp the new MacBook w/ Retina display.

    I think I just got it.  I had the actual Logic Pro.app in a folder called Logic Pro inside the applications folder.  When I moved the actual app out of the folder and into applications it worked.  I am in the process of updating now.  However it seems a little strange because that's how it installed from the discs - into a folder named Logic Pro within the applications folder.  I would never have figured that out on my own.  So thanks for those who posted solutions to other users similar requests. 

  • I need to totally format my macbook pro 13" mid 2009, can i use my friend's macbook pro 13's dvds?

    my macbook pro 13 is originally shipped with mac os x 10.5.7, now with 10.6.8, but i dont have the dvds with me, i also dont want any of the information on it, can i use my friend's macbook pro 13's dvds? what can i do?
    My macbook pro 13" dvds have these on them
        DVD 1: 13 inch macbook pro mac os x install dvd version 10.5.7 2Z691-6468-A Disc version 1.1
        DVD 2: 13 inch macbook pro applications install dvd disc  AHT version 3A174 disc version 1.0   2Z691-6458-A
    My friend's macbook pro 13
        DVD 1: 13 INCH MACBOOK PRO MAC OS X INSTALL DVD Mac os x version 10.6.7 Disk version 1.2
        DVD 2: 12 in macbook pro applications install dvd AHT version 3A21 Disc version 1.1
    Would my friend's dvds work to format my macbook pro to factory settings as if out of the box?
    i also had windows running on my mac, i used disc utility to erase the partition for windows, not bootcamp, so the partition is empty, i cant get the main hard drive extended as it was before because it gives me a message saying "could not modify partition map because filesystem verification failed", and when i try to verify it through disc utility it says that i need to my os x dvd and repair it, if i just format it, will that all go away?
    thank you

    Simple answer is no.
    Slightly more complicated answer;
    You may be able to boot from the disc and use Disk Utility to partition and wipe the HDD (though it may not boot at all).
    You can't install an OS from the other computer's discs. It simply will not allow the installation.
    You would also be violating the software licence agreement.
    As your originals are 10.5.x, you can buy the Snow Leopard retail installer (10.6.3) and format and install from that.

  • I'm a normal user, using cad programme, not using my laptop for games, my question is: do I need to get 16 gb ram in my retina macbook pro or 8  gb ram is pretty enough?

    I'm a normal user, using cad programme, not using my laptop for games, my question is: do I need to get 16 gb ram in my retina macbook pro or 8  gb ram is pretty enough?
    Thanks for support.

    8 GB may be sufficient for CAD but 16 would be a much better idea.
    All the Macs I have ever owned were eventually upgraded to the maximum amount of memory they could use. Considering that as of now, the RAM you specify is all the RAM you will ever have, get as much as you can. That is the only way to maximize its economic life.
    If Apple offered a 32 GB version I'd get it.
