Do the small power adapters work as power converters in Europe?

do the small power adapters that come with the iPad work as power converters in Europe or do I need to buy a separate converter? I have the plug converter for European outlets.

The plug should be all you need.

Does any one know about the small Hardrive that "The Power Company" is producing, sponsored by Indiegogo, for small Apple mobile devices (iPhones, iPods, etc,). Do they work or cause problems for the device or iCloud storage?

Does any one about the small hard drive that "the Power Company" is bringing out as a crowdsourced project by Indiegogo? Does it work, does it cause problems for IOS, iPOD Touch or iCloud?

I have not heard that mentioned here before. What does the Indiegogo page say?

Does the world traveler kit work on the 60 watt mag safe power adapter

does the world traveler power adapter kit work with the 60 watt mag safe power adapter.

Hi Aiian,
The kit contains all the plug ends needed to travel around the world. the small flat bladed square piece that slides on the 60 watt mag safe charger for use in north america was lost on vacation. I purchased this kit because it appeared to contain two plug adapters that looked exactly the same, one flat blade and one flat blade with holes at the end. when i tried one of the ends nothing happened (no charge).Wondering if it contaians a resistor inside? Mac offered only to replace it if it was faulty, but
I lost mine.

Keyboard or Motherboard, that is the question (power indicator lit, but machine does not work)

Hello Everyone.
Sorry for this long as heck post. Skip to the all caps headers below, if you have no time for excuses.
I’m loving my new w530. Well, I have been loving it. I work in documentary production and for the last year have been in a very dusty part of the world.
No matter what we do, we cannot keep dust from the computers. Dust covers, etc. Are basically helpless, though we do use them. If you could NEVER expose the computer to anything, that would be great. But as soon as you use it, it will get dust in it, specifically the keyboard, and monitor bezel, but also any bezel and any button. The dust can get gritty and sometimes it’s necessary to remove the keyboard(s) and just “shake them out”.
So, we don’t even bother to put the retaining screws in…because in a few hours you may be doing it again. And even in a few minutes.
So, last night…oh dear…I just don’t even want to think about it…but I did something REALLY stupid. In my own defense, it was after having been awake for more than 24 hours straight.
Anyway, I turned the computer off, unplugged (how I wish that I had turned it over) it from the back of the comp, and removed the keyboard…and of course covered the hole…the mobo and the internals.
I proceeded to get all the gritty stuff out of the keyboard by turning it upside down, shaking it, turning it back shaking it…again and again…until I was satisfied.
Then I started putting the keyboard ribbon back into the receptacle on the mother board.
I’ve done it a thousand times, but..dammit, I almost want to cry…as I was placing it back on it slipped a little and touched something nearby on the mother board, and I saw the mute microphone button light up briefly.
I immediately thought in expletives (because we have two batts (one is the 9 volt and one 6 volt) and sometimes I operate without either and just the power cord.. Which I thought was the situation last night (because the comp felt so light to me…but as soon as I saw that lamp, I knew that I was wrong, the small batt was in)…and I also thought that I wouldn’t be surprised if the machine didn’t boot now.
And I was right…
So, besides the obvious scolding…which I deserve…does anyone know anything about the keyboard schematics?
I’ve looked for diagrams online, but have had no success. And we VPN to a few servers around the world and they are always so slow, trying exhaustive searches is just crazy time consuming.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS (THE SYMPTOMS):
When the machine is plugged in, the power indicator lamp (around the power button) is lit…and stays lit no matter what you do, until you unplug it and the battery (if any).
When the machine is NOT plugged in, but there is a battery attached, the lamp only lights when the button is pressed…and it stays lit until the battery is removed.
SO MY QUESTION IS:
Can anyone tell me based on the symptoms, if this is the keyboard (please) or if it is the motherboard?
We are praying that I only shorted the keyboard somehow…because we know we can get a replacement keyboard only 1 day away.
Motherboards, we would have to send out for, and that just won’t happen. And I don't even know if Lenovo will send motherboards...as they aren't considered CRU.
And it will have to wait for three months, by which time all warranties will be lapsed. Thankfully we got and bought some Win 8 licenses and I can just swap the hard drive to an old d830 and it works with no effort, and I have all of my work available to me with no fussing.
Thanks for reading. Hopefully someone has some great insights.

Does anyone know anything about onsite specifics?
I'm wondering where the onsite warranty can be in effect. Like, can it be used in ANY city in the US? Can it be used only in metrololitan areas? What is a metro area in Lenovo's eyes?
Does anyone know where I can get better and accurate info on the onsite warranty? Like a coverage map would be very helpful. Because why should I spend the money on it, if I can't access it?
Looking forward to more info...thanks.
There is no coverage map as such.
I live in what is considered a rural area and had techs driving 60-70 miles one way to get to me, never an issue.
Obviously, YMMV.
In my not-so-modest experience, both onsite and accidental damage upgrades are worth every penny if one intends to keep their ThinkPads for an extended period of time.
Good luck.

Does the 80w power adapter work for the 13" mackbook pro?

Any help would be appreciated... Thanks

You can use the power supply that came with your Mac or one that has a higher wattage, but not one with a lower wattage.
Specifically, in my home we have only 85W power supplies. They work fine with the older 17-inch Macbook Pro, a newer 15-inch Retina Display Macbook Pro, and with my daughter's Macbook Air 13-inch (which came with a 45-watt power supply that she leaves in her dorm room because she knows she can use these 85-watt ones when she visits).
The older style power supplies' magsafe plug can charge the older laptops as well as the newer Retina Display computers, but for the Retina Display laptops, you must use the small magsafe adaptor/converter along with the older style power supply.
I don't know of a way to use the newer power supplies that came with Retina Display laptops on an older laptop that accepts the older style magsafe adaptor.
If your original question was whether a power supply for a Retina Display computer can be used to charge a non-Retina Display 13-inch Macbook Pro, then I think the answer is NO because the Retina Display Macs use a different magsafe plug that won't fit into the slot for the 13-inch non-Retina laptop. The older power supplies CAN be used with the new Retina laptops because there is an adaptor one can get to allow the old magsafe plug to fit into the new Retina laptop.

Is the 65W power supply killing small laptop hard drives?

Apple is NOT shipping 45W power supply units to my country (Costa Rica) and the authorized resellers are selling 65W power supply units to PowerBook 12" and iBooks owners, saying that older and smaller laptops can use the 65W unit without problems.
In 1 month, 3 of my friends have lost their powerbook 12" hard drives, all of them were using 65W units.... is it possible that the 65W unit is damaging the hard drive?
Apple documents don't mention any kind of problem related to using the wrong power supply, but doesn't say it's ok either.

Well the authorized resellers are the ones you should
take this up with. If they won't listen, call
AppleCare. Computers are particularly sensitive to
power supply variations. Here is one article which
the resellers should read:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75448
I actually printed that document and went to the store to show them they were selling the wrong adapter, but they said Apple is no longer sending/selling 45W adapters to them and they said also that Apple gave them a memo saying that 65W adapters cause no troubles to smaller laptops.
As you can see in the article there's no warning about using wrong adapters.
Hard drives shouldn't be affected by power supply
variations, and given the fact the computer only
takes as much power as it needs, you are more likely
to have a problem putting a 45 W adapter in a 65 W
unit than vice versa.
Even so, your friends could have all lucked out and
gotten a single bad batch sent to Costa Rica.
Yeah, this is absolutely possible, but what are the chances that the three laptops using wrong adapters had hard drive problems?...
I basically want to know if this is happening on other countries (the "no 45W adapters" thing) and if also the hard drive problem could be related to the 65W one.
Regardless, what happened to their original adapters?
One guy lost it on a trip to the beach; the cable that goes to the computer was broken on the other two.
Thanks for taking time to write this answer!

Mid 2011 Macbook Air - Yosemite keyboard and trackpad stopped working, the only button that worked was the power button, only one USB port works.

I have a Mid 2011 Macbook Air.
Upgraded to Yosemite last week.
Three days ago I was using my Macbook Air for the first time since upgrading to Yosemite. I had been using my Macbook Air for approximately 30 minutes, I was using safari and the keyboard and trackpad stopped working (would not respond). The only button that worked was the power button.
I rebooted and they were still not working. I plugged in a USB mouse and external USB keyboard, only one USB port would work (the Left USB port if looking at the screen) so I had to swap between keyboard and mouse.
After logging in there is a bluetooth icon at the top of the screen with a sawtooth line through it. Bluetooth is unavailable and the bluetooth icon is missing from the system preferences menu.
If I run a hardware test by holding D (on USB keyboard) at startup it says that no problems are found and at the conclusion of the test the keyboard and trackpad start working again. When I log on the bluetooth is working again.
I shut down the Macbook Air and when I started it again the keyboard and trackpad and right side USB ports were all not working again. I logged in using the USB keyboard and mouse and the bluetooth not available sawtooth icon had returned.
I ran the hardware test again and at the conclusion of the test the trackpad and keyboard started working again.
I have tried deleting com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile from /Library/Preferences/ and tried resetting SMC and Power Functions but this did not fix the issue. The only thing that seems to work is running a hardware test - obviously I don't want to do this every time I use the computer.
I do not believe any hardware is faulty/damaged - I think it has something to do with bluetooth/Yosemite.
I do not have the Macbook with me at the moment, if you have suggestions that I can try or additional checks/info you require please let me know and I can get back to you.
Thanks,
John

Hi!
I have exactly the same problem, and I can't find any solution.
I can't even track down the root of the problem: the Bluetooth/Wifi module? The trackpad? The keyboard/top case? The logicboard?
I've tried all the usual: SMC/PRAM reset, clean install, kext cache clearing.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!

My iPod Nano 6th generation will not turn on when off of the a power source. I've tried to restore it, but that didn't work. Any suggestions?

I also tried holding the sleep/power button along with the minus button to reset it and that did not work either. Any help would be great, thanks.

If you update the iPod software to the latest version (1.1) you should be able to power off the iPod. If that doesn't work especially since you restored it's most likely a hardware issue with the iPod. If so, contact AppleCare or visit an Apple Retail Store so they can setup a repair for you.

I moved from the UK to the US with my iMac. What do I need to buy for the UK iMac to work in the US? A power convertor? A plug convertor? or Both?

I moved from the UK to the US with my iMac. What do I need to buy for the UK iMac to work in the US? A power convertor? A plug convertor? or Both? I had previously read that you only need a plug convertor (three prong to two prong). But I'm terrified that my iMac will blow up if I only use a plug convertor and not some sort of voltage convertor (Transformer).

I'm not really hardware tech savy - is it easy to pop out the UK power cable and plug in the US power cable? Or do I need to get someone like an iMac support guy to do this? And because of the voltage difference, is there something built into the iMac that takes care of the voltage difference for me? Thanks!!

I have a problem with my iPhone 5 stopped working the sleep / power and simultaneously refused to obey the HOME button. I can not use either one or the other. I can not enable or disable the device, display lights up when you plug the charger. same display works fine as it is surprising. or maybe someone knows what is the reason for this? is there any way to solve this problem?

More than likely its a hardware issue, I have never encountered such a problem and best bet is to just go get it replaced. If you have insurance on your device apple will replace it as long as there was no water damage, if you dont have insurance they will charge $200 more or less. Hope you get it fixed

Reason for the 2 Power Adapters that came with the Macbook?

New macbook owner here. whats the deal with the power adapter? one connection to the wall can simply be latched onto the white square, im sure you know what im talking about. like an ipod wall charger.
the second is the most traditional one when it has a long cable connecting to the wall and then to the white apple square thing.
whats the point of each one? is the longer one for better home and the small connecting one most portable? if this is the case which charges better? no difference? whats the deal? im so confused!

One is used as an extension for the other. I think it shows that in the manual

Are you connecting your iPhone directly to your PC or to a USB hub?

I received an old Power Mac G4 Quick Silver and was cleaning the desk top. When I restarted all I got was a circle with a slash and the small spinning wheel under it...nothing else

I suppose 3.6V PRAM battery is run out , so you'd better replace it.
Or resetting PRAM could solve the problem.

I am having trouble with my iPad, i can start it, but the iPad does not work. i tried to use the power and home button at the same time, the apple logo appears, but the iPad does not work. What am I suppose to do?

After the Apple logo appears, what happens then? Can you hear any sounds or if you tap on the screen, does it seem like apps can open or are you just seeing a black screen? You might have a hardware problem, but you can try restoring the software and see what happens.
Read this in its entirety before you do anything. Make sure you read the sections at the end about using recovery mode.
