HT1476 do I need a step-down transformer to charge iPhone in Suriname?

I'm travelling to Suriname, I have adaptor for round 2 prong Euro-like plugs. Electricity is 220-240 v. Do I need transformer step-down when charging my iPhone 4s (OS 5.0)
thanks

At home I just have a plug that the usb port goes into so I can plug into the wall.
here at work, I do see some folks have a little adaptor with plug to use when charging the phones.
I will get one of those.

I have just shifted to India where the voltage is 220V vs 110V used in US. will the apple tv work directly or do i need a step down convertor to use it?- tks sahil

You only need a plug adaptor as long as the voltage is between 100 and 240 volts.

Ipod 4 in Spain do I need to step down the voltage

For travel in Spain will the ipod 4 wall charger step down voltage?
From experience I do not need a step down adapter when using the Apple power cord on an ibook or Mac Book, but am not confident the same applies for the iphone 4 wall charger.
I know I need a plug adapter, but there are adapters that step down the voltage and those that don't.

i don't think you do, just the adaptor, i've gone to china, germany, switzerland and have never needed th step down.

Traveling to Israel next week, do I need a transformer to charge iPhone 5s or will it automatically convert to 220 current?

The hotels I stayed in during my visit to the Holy Land had a plug for electric razors which has the same plug used in the US. With that I didn't even need the adapter.

I have a Macbook Air purchased in 2011 in the US. I am traveling in South Africa and am unsure if I need a step down voltage converter before I plug my laptop into the wall to charge it (using an outlet adapter). Am I ok to just plug in?

So standard electrical output from wall outlets in the US is 110V - 120V, and standard output from wall outlets in South Africa is 220V - 240V. In SA I know I can plug in an iPhone using the iPhone charging cable and it will automatically step down the voltage, thus preventing my phone from overheating. I cannot plug in a hairdryer or flat iron without step down voltage converter in SA. Can I use the charger that came with my US 2011 Macbook Air and plug into a wall outlet in South Africa or do I need to purchase a step down voltage converter in order to charge my laptop while in SA?

Moving to Australia - Do I need to plug my laptop adapter into a Step Down Transformer?

I see on the AC Adapter, Input 100-240V, does that mean it's compatible with the Australia 220-240V? This is for a T410 that I bought recently. Obviously, I'd still need the adapter to convert the prongs but is a transformer necessary? Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

yes they are cross compatible, you don't need a voltage transformer.

Step-down voltage converter or traval adapters?

Hi,
I am studying in Ireland with my iBook that I bought in the US - as well as a few other US electrical appliances. I have been using step-down voltage converters, but having problems. I just discovered today that I was using too many watts for the converter (the power adapter for the iBook uses 45 watts, and the converter suggests a max of 30 watts) but I am still not sure if that is why the converters keep breaking. The fuse seems to be fine (why I don't think the watts are the problem) and the first two converters broke after being used for a few months (but within a few days or hours of being used with a computer for the first time). So I was still of the conclusion that the converters were just going bad on their own - not built to last so long.
Tonight I plugged my iBook in with a third, brand new converter and was part way through charging it up when the light on the charger went from amber to green and then off. Now this third converter does not seem to work anymore - and the fuse seems fine.
So at this point I'm pretty sure it does have something to do with the computer - but am not really sure how to proceed. Has anyone else experienced similar difficulties? I see that Apple offers a set of Travel Adapters. Do you recommend them? Might this be the simples solution to these problems with the converters?

Hi Oona,
All Macs (except rev.A G5 iMacs and eMacs) have dual voltage/frequency PSU, and can be plugged anywhere in the world with no problem.
> You don't need any step-down voltage converter for your iBook.
You just have to find a plug adapter or an Irish cord or power adapter (btw you can use the 65W too). Apple's Travel Adapter is fine, but you can find cheaper in Ireland, unless you need a model that you can use everywhere in the world?
See this document
- World Power Differences Can Limit International Product Use (KB #129)
and check your other electrical appliances.
The electrical info is printed somewhere: do not use the converter with the dual-voltage/frequency ones.

Electrical info is always visible somewhere on all electrical appliances.

HT1688 I have the Apple world travel adapter Kit. Do I need a voltage converter to step down 220 V to 110 V

I have the Apple world travel adapter Kit. Do I need a voltage converter to step down 220 V to 110 V?

As Meg said, no, you don't need a converter. Take a close look at the charger... it says 110-240VAC Input, or something similar.

When I cgarge my iPOD, can I do it overseas in a 220 volt plug as long as I have an adapter, or do I need to getb a transformer to convert the current to 120 Volts, as in USA?

When I plug in my iPhone 3GS using the Apple plug to charge it, and I am overseas in country with current of 220 volts, do I have to use a transformer to step down the current to 120volts, or can I just use an adapter to allow the plug to fit, and charge it with 220 volt current??

The adaptor voltage range is 90 - 240 so all you will need is an adaptor.

How to convert LV Vi's from LV 7.0 to higher versions or viceversa.I need the steps.

For example i have labview 7.0 and i wan to open in LV 8.0 or still higher..so how to convert my VIs to higher versions or vice versa..I need the steps to convert.

Hello,
If you want to convert a vi written in LV 7.0 to a higher version (say 8.5) open the vi written in 7.0 with 8.5 and then save the same. (once you save it to 8.5, you can not open it with 7.0 since 8.5 is higher than 7.0. So male sure to back up your 7.0 version files)
Now to convert a vi from 8.5 to 7.0 (for example) it gets a litle complicated becase you have load the vi in LV8.5 and then select the option File-->Save for Previous version and select the appropriate option (like 8.2, 8.0 or any other that gets populated in the drop down menu).
Now say that you have selected the option 8.0, Again the vi saved in 8.0 and follow the same procedure to save it to 7.0 version of labVIEW.
The reason i said it gets complicated becasue you must have installed all the version of labVIEW (in the above case its LV 8.0) for a sucessful downgrade.
Hope this helps you out

What step-down convertor to use Australian MacAir in US

I want to use my 240 V MacAir (Australian) in US when I travel there. What size step-down convertor to I need? Will 300W be enough or safer to get a 500W?

If you are using the Apple supplied charger, there is no need for a step-down convertor. Apple charger units are capable of using voltages from 100-240 Volts AC. You will simply need a plug adapter for the US power system.

I did an upgrade from 4.0 to the new 6.0 about 5 months ago. After the upgrade installed it said reboot system to apply upgrade. Now it wont open and keeps telling me that the older version needs to shut down the computer and upgrade the old version.

Look at original question. When I did the download to the new 6.0 it said everything was fine. Then when I tried to use the firefox again it said an older version needed to shut down my computer so that it could upgrade the old version. It wont let me do anything and all it says is shut down computer so old version can upgrade. It wont let me open the program or remove it or anything. PLease help me with this. I really like Firefox but this has been going on for 5 months now and I still dont get answers from you. How do I fix this???
